Well Star force didnt have a problem with naming characters after constellations. >3>

And those names are a bit deep... I mean, i tried to pic constellation names that are a bit more commonly known outside of the constellations, and whose meanings are already not too complicated to understand. How in the world do you propose the theme for a star like Betelgeuse? It's name itself has changed many times and is not a word, but derivative of other words.

EDIT:

Lets not clutter up the topic with an argument over naming systems... Lets agree to disagree on the matter and just let Starsims choose. >_> Weve both presented our ideas, lets leave it at that...

Dunno, I always felt that Sunstar being named after the Sun rather than just another planet, was what made him more special. Youve got the planets of the solar system, and then the robot named after the Sun itself, the most important part of a planetary system. Making them all named after stars kind of cheapens that effect IMO.

Also it has little variety. I mean how do you go about doing different themes for robots all named after a star? Stars are fire/light/heat. aside from that there isn't much you can do with it, without making them just that, only names which have no meaning outside of solely being for identification purposes.  At least with constellations, they come with themes already.

Thats not to say you cant have another star named bot(s) just that naming a Stardroid after a star just seems too special to use for all 8 bosses...

well theres a list of Modern AND former constellations on Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_constellations

many of them sound cool,

my personal 8 choices being

Andromeda,
Aquarius,
Aries,
Hydra,
Orion,
Phoenix,
Scorpio,
Lupus

You COULD also follow the Zodiac, but those are 12, and Star Force already did most of them, so I dont know bout that.

I would think that the important part about choosing constellation names is being able to build on them. EG design a robot master around their theme. Lupus for example, is the wolf. So you could have a wolf themed boss. Aries is the god of war, so maybe something with a lot of weapons and [parasitic bomb]. Aquarius, water themed, etc.

Problem with that is how many extrasolar planets have long complex names that extend beyond 1 word, and sometimes multiple planets share a name, like the Upsilon Andromedae series of planets, or even the Giliese planets. Some dont even have a name other than a serial number.

Why not constellations? that still falls under "Star Droids" even more literally than before. You could even make some of the Star Force bosses as classic style robots. And it would be an interesting follow up. the first stardroids were named after planets, the next after constellations

With the exception of SNK's horrible go at it, Zero is much better as a fighter than megaman due to his more melee-ish combat style and having martial arts moves in his repertoire. One of the reasons I enjoy Super DBZ so much is that there are only about 13 characters and each is has special aspects. So while it's true Trunks is typically a standard player in the series and his sword is a novelty for the most part, in that game it is his specialty. It's one of the few times in a fighting game that you control a "sword-based" character that is actually sword based in its basic and advanced moves.
It's not that rare in games like SSB, but in other cases Sword characters aren't that common, but they still work. Megaman just ends up being Ken with a Hadouken button.

Mega Man and X both have massive weapon repertoires available to incorporate as special moves for any occasion. Many of them melee.

Its also known as some really crypic [parasitic bomb].



People think this one might be our good friend Zero.
Of course. He's the only Mega Man related character that ever seems to have a guaranteed appearance in crossover titles.

Eh, well ultimate buster disables regular shots, and that move shoots regular shots, so thats what happens. and since theres no charged version of that attack, its just something that happened as a consequence.

Suddenly, memories of Xtreme 2.

I find it interesting how Ultimate buster breaks Shadow Armor's roof shooting ability, since he cant shoot normal shots. he does the animation, but nothing comes out.

but why would it have to be like that? X3 didnt do that, and the Ride armor system here seems pretty much just like X3's.

Thats funny. Is that video where the "Variable X" name comes from? I always thought it was called Variable X.

I know Zero can defeat Hell Sigma easily with his regular jump swing + Shield Sheldon's shield. Havent gotten to him as unarmored X yet though. got stuck on Heatnix's stage some time ago and havent really gone back to it yet.

Sigma is a slowass weakling in his first form, and immobile in his second. Therefore he is the easier boss. Highmax likes to move around a bit more, and then go into a loop where he keeps firing that sphere at you repeatedly.

Well, Variable X WAS used in X6 when you find Zero... In a more upbeat tone. Which was kinda neat, since it was paralleling his death in X1, but this time with the opposite.

Nobody is saying it isn't a bad idea. Just that it's not impossible with normal X.

EDIT: that's hyper dash, not jumper. My bad. Still, all you need is that part for X.
