Ridley didnt really die in prime 1. (not that we know of-) we just saw the Temple blast him over the edge of the ring. If I were to guess, he probably took his time off in prime 2 to be repaired and recover for his prime 3 appearance. Then Omega Ridley happens...

Richter's Rondo sprite is justified in Portrait or Ruin because the Whip's Memory is of Richter in his prime.
True.

But theres no excuse for the SoTN re-releases. (especially since they are all port +'s) I mean god, either change the sprite, or change the mugshot.

EDIT: one thing that baffles me is that Richter actually DOES have a sprite that matches his Kojima design. except it was never used outside of the Saturn verison of Symphony for some damned reason. in the Saturn version, Richter from the intro looks like in rondo, but Richter from the actual game, looks like his artwork. And yet, as far as I can tell, no future appearances of richter use that sprite. not even SotN re releases. even when they update things like the script and voices, Richter never changes to the sprite he SHOULD be using.

I understand the Saturn version of the game, despite being an improved port was still somewhat inferior to the PSX version, but damn, if theyre going as far as to update the game for re releases, would it be THAT hard for them to update the Richter sprites to the Saturn ones?

I found this on  the ANN forums where they were discussing other M. I liked it so ill just drop it here.

I find it interesting that the biggest issue people across the internet seem to have with the story is Samus freaking out over having to fight Ridley yet again. I feel like we've been trained by TV and movies to expect people to only be able to panic at things they've never seen before. I'm not quite sure that's how it works in real life.

A lot of people have moments of panic not from a single traumatic event, but from the accumulation of many similar ones. There's a "straw that breaks the camel's back" moment where the person has just gone through the trauma one time too many, and even though there's nothing particularly new or different about this instance, it just all becomes too much.

Considering that A) Ridley killed Samus' family, B) she's fought him many times already, and C) each time, she thought it was finally over, only to have him resurface yet again, it seems reasonable to me that she would finally hit the wall, and reach the point where it was just one time too many.

This could have been presented a little better in the story, but the basic idea of her losing it over Ridley makes more sense to me than if it had happened over some new alien threat. With any other creature, Samus could think to herself "well, I'll just kill it." With Ridley, killing never seems to work. She's trapped in a cycle. That would be enough to make anyone freak out.

The writing in the game was mediocre at best, but it felt like a problem of execution more than intent to me. If it had been explained better, the Ridley scene could have been great. The idea was sound, but they messed it up.

This is also why I don't buy the "sexism" argument. Showing a moment of weakness doesn't diminish Samus as a strong female lead; being strong isn't about lacking weakness, it's about overcoming weakness. It would be more sexist to continue to portray her as perfect, without flaws or failings of any kind. I've never met a woman like that, have you?

Last picture reminds me of someone, except for the panty shot, of course.

You're on a MegaMan board, remember?  We ALL live there.  In this corner of the internet, Batty is the odd one.
So Batty... is-
Batty? 8D 8D

..What does Quesada have against MJ?...I donīt get it? Peter and MJ belong to eachother similiar to Lois and Clark...
Setting up all this to make them break up seems tad extreme...
Welcome to Quesada. leave your reason at the door, and [tornado fang] up everything that is ingrained into a character and makes him who he is.

This pop-classification of gamers as either "casual" or "hardcore" is naive, it is merely an extension of the same "kiddy" label that's been thrown at Nintendo since the N64.  The gaming press considers the "hardcore" games to be M-rated shooters and annualized sports titles, while virtually ANY sidescroller, much less one that does not feature orchestras and fancy particle effects, is criticized as a poor value.  Casual games, meanwhile, have existed long before the Wii (dare I say, Tetris?), they simply didn't threaten anyone's manhood back then.


best description of today's gaming market ever.

Adding to the poor value thing- what you often complain about- that games like that are also considered "not worth putting on discs"

If theyre not going to match it, then at least have Kojima make her artwork match the sprite! otherwise, it makes them look like they are too lazy to be bothered with consistency.

Im hoping they actually try and match him to his artwork by kojima. Especially since She's the artist for the game.

Honestly, they dont even try. Simon and Trevor, (Richter too) have never gotten sprites to match their Kojima artwork.

So basically- at this point, The Spider Man comic franchise's only hope is to be re-booted? (once Mexican food is out of the way)

:'( Sigh

Listen everyone, i hate to say this:

I love Tron Bonne sice i was a child but it feel kinda......you know...it's not fit somehow, of course she might appear many crosssever series but i feel Capcom side is like pervert side :| But if Tron Bonne is in, does that mean Zero replaced with Axl & Roll replace with Megaman? I hope Capcom don't screw this game. And plz Capcom, do me a favor, if you put another female capcom character again, i say we need bring back 56 character, not 36, or just 42 character, thats all.
What the [tornado fang] did I just read?


Posted on: September 10, 2010, 12:45:24 PM
Listen, i like female character too '>.> but it would innapproriate to many female in capcom side, while C.Viper & B.B Hood have hinted this game.

I heard Frank West was "almost confirm" in trailer as pilot helicopter &....... since Marvel finally got female character, i would like someone give explanation to me whenther is true or not......is SHE HULK in this game too?
you STILL make no sense BTW.

Yknow, id like some explanation done on the Grimoir the game takes place in. I mean, is this some magical book of God where all life is recorded or something? is somebody writing it? it kinda comes out of nowhere that it takes place in the Grimoir.

maybe im just thinking about it too much.

I dont think these have been posted yet besides those DLC screenshots a while back.




The Cv wiki had them. no idea where THEY got them though. even in a google images search I could only find these same ones.
