After seeing the MM1 USA Boxart... BBA Mega Man didn't have a gut! He actually had a good build on him, not too buff but not skinny either but he NEVER had a gut. He really let himself go if he has a beer belly now.

I always enjoy reading your posts guys. Awesome information and debate!

But yeah I agree with you guys, bad timing. I kinda find it funny they're using the BBA Mega Man, but with the cancellation of the previous two new Mega Man games... Capcom should've ANNOUNCED this first before the cancellation of Universe and Legends 3 (I bought my 3DS to get that game too... ;_;) and it would've been more well-received. But he's inclusion was already under way before the cancellation of Universe and MML3 so you can't really blame them, but you got to ask if they have brains and if so why aren't they using it?

Then again some things are just unavoidable, that's life for you. Life is cruel and unfair but we have to deal with it and keep on pushing forward.

Yeah, I've seen that myself, Tai. All the BAWWWWing over every single thing Capcom does has made everyone stop taking us seriously.

At this rate, we'll be worse than the more rabid side of the Sonic fanbase.

I have yet to see that rabid side of Sonic fans. I'm a Sonic fan, but I LOVE every Sonic game they have released including Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, The Black Knight, and Secrets of the Rings.

I don't baw over everything Capcom does, they have some great games like Asura's Wrath I'm looking forward to getting and the inclusion of a Mega Man character in a fighting game is great... if it was what the fans wanted for a Mega Man character. I'll admit I'm surprise to see him, but after seeing him in action I like it! Quite a goofy and funny cameo of Mega Man to appear, and let's face it have we really see THIS type of Mega Man in any game before besides boxart? I say give him a chance, I like his "This is my destiny" quote already.

Am I mad that it isn't Mega Man X? A little and who I wish was in UMvC3.
Do I like this Mega Man for a fighter character? Yes, he's quite funny and looks fun to play as.

If Capcom didn't cancel two "new" Mega Man games than this would have been well-received and fans would've loved it! And I think the bio is just hurting this Mega Man's potential of being approve by the fans (I know he was decided upon before Inafune's leave and cancel of MML3) so they could've tweak or change his bio a bit. But I like the little nod the Legends series, however not everyone would agree with me.

Hey guys, remember the Sub Tank drawing with the cigar Mega Man and naked Roll?

Sub Tank was right all along.

Posted on: January 27, 2012, 05:31:30

Where is this drawing you say?


Now to my opinion on BBA Mega Man...

The Bad Box Art Mega Man? Well I never played the original Classic Mega Man (save the Powered Up version, the Mega Man ZX Advent mini-game, Mega Man 9 and 10) but I do want play the old versions. However even without playing the old Mega Man series I remember this Mega Man truly.

I'll admit BBA Mega Man, "This is my destiny" cracked me up, and I like his fighting style. True I wanted Mega Man X to appear in a fighting game, he is LONG overdue as Zero has appeared four times in a fighting game (twice as X series Zero and twice as Zero series Zero). Because of BBA Mega Man I might get this game now!

I'm mad that Capcom said Mega Man wouldn't work as a "fighting character" like for UMvC3, as I voted for Mega Man X to be in and he was first place and they lied he wasn't on the top choices, and now they added this guy in here (but given one of the commenters said, it seem Inufane Keiji discussed letting them have *this* Mega Man in a fighting game before he left) but I'm happy a Mega Man character is in a fighting game. Maybe they'll re-consider for the future of having other Mega Man characters appearing in fighting game and FINALLY move on with the X series and its conclusion to the Zero series.

It's pull and tag with Capcom here, but well-played... if they didn't cancel a certain highly anticipated Mega Man game of the year.

Well the mimic part isn't TOTALLY confirmed yet, but it seems that way. Also I like Kilik's Phoenix motif for his costume, very cool. And going what other people have theorizes, it is the new Nightmare might be Hilde's father given that her father disappear and the new Nightmare is serving a royal and since Hilde's father is a king he knows how royalty works out and such.

Also I have some speculations on why some characters aren't returning in Soul Calibur 5.

I had this bobbling in my head for sometime and I came up with some reasonable excuses why some characters didn't return for Soul Calibur 5, given the story of SCV and the stories of the past characters. This is just me theorizing, so take as you will but it by no means is canon or possible not even close to what the developers have in mind. Let me start.

Yun-seong: The reason why Yun-seong doesn't come back is the easiest one, he original left on his journey to find Soul Edge, right? The was the reason I believe... and it was to get Soul Edge to help him end the war as he felt powerless to save his country. Now from Mitsurigi's story, he rush back home because he heard about the war coming to a close and wishes to take part of it but when he arrived it was over. Yun-seong mentions that Mitsuirigi is an enemy of his country so which leads me to believe that the war ended, the very war that Yun-seong wanted to win to save his country.

Seeing as the war is done there's no point of searching for Soul Edge so he heads home and completes his training at his old schoo.

Talim: The reason I believe Talim doesn't return was so she could purify the powers of the Soul Swords, return them to their true forms or removing their power take it as you well. And because of the events of SCIV the Soul Swords seemingly lost their power for 17 years and Talim has no reason to look for them again as their, in a sense, purify or their power removed like she wanted. It's possible she followed Yun-seong or return home to take care of her village and people and become a proper Wind Priestress.

Seong Mina: I think her reason is easy to explain as well. The whole point of her journey was to search for Yun-seong and bring him back home, and stop him from attaining Soul Edge as she knows it is an evil sword that will corrupt him. With both Soul Swords gone and the war over which was the reason why Yun-seong went after Soul Edge in the first place he returned home with Seong Mina back to the dojo. Also she is to be wed to Hwang, right? So she's probably married and raising a family no, and with the Soul Swords gone she has no reason to travel again.

Zasalamel: This one is a tricky one and I'm not sure this justifies his reasons for not returning to SCV. By the end of SCIII and by the events SCIV, Zasalamel is intrigued by the process of man in the future as he saw a vision about an airplane and how man learn how to create air travel and wishes to see what other marvelous things mankind will make in the future. Originally using the Soul Swords to end his immortal life, he now wishes to stay immortal to see how far mankind will go and such there's no reason for him to watch over the Soul Swords and start exploring the world and help push mankind to a greater future and push their limits beyond (like in his SCIV ending).

Cassandra: Honestly... I have nothing on this one. She's mostly likely alive, but she does want to protect the bonds of her family and the only reason I can think of why she isn't around is because she's searching for Tira for murdering her sister (mostly likely if Sophitia really did die) and search for Pyrrha. I think she left the care of Patroklos to her brother-in-law Rothion but didn't hear of his illness and death until much later and by the time Patroklos is gone, raising himself and joining an army. With no clues left she continues to search for the one that destroyed the bonds of her family and looks for her long-lost niece.


That's it! I believe these sound plausible enough to be the reason why these characters were omitted from the story. Your thoughts people?

Also it seems like, or possible fan speculations, that the characters I mention above could be available as DLC or their styles will be DLC.

Thanks for posting the videos Vixy! I haven't the first ones yet, but they were a nice treat! Though it kinda sucks that Pat, Pyrrha, and ZWEI are the only confirmed player characters for Story Mode. Aren't we allowed to use different characters in Story Mode with their own adventures like in old SC games? I kinda wanted something akin to SCIII (which I think had the best Story Mode, but then again I haven't played Soul Edge the first of Soul series games so I can't comment on that) with the cinematic experience the first two trailers gave.

Also it doesn't appear that our Created Characters will have a Story Mode this time around, unlike SCIII's Chronicles of the Sword Mode (which I liked very much though I wish it was a bit faster) and SCIV's inclusion of CaS into Story Mode with them getting either or both Soul Swords. I'm hoping there's more modes in, but oh well. I could just use VS Mode and make up a Story for my CaS cast.

Which version are you guys gettings? This time around I'm getting the PS3 Collection's Edition from BestBuy, which is pre-order, as to follow a strange trend I have with the series (SCI - Xbox 360Arcade, SCII - Gamecube, SCIII - PS2, SCIV - 360, SCV - PS3). Maybe I'll see you guys online! That would be awesome!


Oh, by the way Vixy I got Dazzle DVD Recorder HD for a Christmas Present so I'll be able to post pictures and videos of my gameplay like you! ^_^
I asked for either one, both normal or HD, since they're the same and my parents picked the one they thought best.

I can't wait to show our my CaS to you guys!

Posted on: January 17, 2012, 09:46:50 AMEnglish version of the Story Trailer! Enjoy~

Posted on: January 18, 2012, 04:13:03 AMThe last four characters revealed for SCV on the bottom row:

Alpha Patkrolos - Soul Calibur-wielding Patkrolos, minus shield, with Setsuka moveset (confirmed)
Omega/Evil Pyrrha (rumored to have Sophitia's moveset)
Inferno Kilik (rumor to be in and rumored to be a Male only mimic character)
Angel Sophitia/Elysia (rumored to be a Female only mimic character, appears in Soul Calibur V New Trailer 1 posted by Vixy after the 3min mark)







Can't post videos of it due to a copyright claim by Association of Copyright for Computer Software.

Here's links to download the video to the Alpha Patroklos gameplay:
http://www.megavideo.com/?d=L643INQI

Get it while it's hot!

So there we have it... this is the final (semi-confirmed) character roster list:
* Patroklos
* Z.W.E.I.
* Leixia
* Natsu
* Ezio
* Raphael
* Viola
* Pyrrha
* Siegfried
* Hilde
* Xiba
* Ivy
* Cervantes
* Aeon
* Tira
* Nightmare
* Mitsurugi
* Maxi
* Yoshimitsu
* Dampierre
* Voldo
* Astaroth
* Alpha Patroklos (Setsuka moveset)
* Angel Sophitia/Elysium (Female Mimic)
* Edge Master (All Mimic)
* Algol
* Inferno Kilik (Male Mimic)
* Omega/Evil Pyrrha (Sophitia moveset)

Then again there's no proof that the two mimic characters, the mimic male or female, are going to be playable. So Angel Sophitia/Elysium and Inferno Kilik could more or less be playable with a different moveset.
Your thoughts people?

Cool! That's good to know! By the way, if a connection error happens do you lose VR points? Because I believe so as I go down on VR because I have DSL connection and the connection isn't the best (I notice that I'm in 3rd place in my game with a guy tailing behind me, but when I finish I'm in 4th place instead when the game says I was 3rd place and ahead of the game. The lag sucks.)

Still... I need to unlock the rest of the Kart parts, I'm only 840 coins in and it seems I need 5000 coins to unlock mostly every Kart part. Why was 10 coins a limit per race? Takes so long to unlock certain parts and at random too!

Interesting video! Thanks VixyNyan!


Something I like to point out is that the character Dampierre is an exclusive DLC character ONLY if you pre-order from BestBuy. Yup, if you want to get him as soon as you get the game you have to reserve a copy at BestBuy to get him. The GameStop exclusive is an Ivy Valentine bobble head figure, which isn't worth it to me.

It's possible has a pay later DLC in the future, but given how long it took for the Vader/Yoda DLC for the opposite took I rather get him right away. So I canceled my pre-order at GameStop and now have reserved a copy at my local BestBuy which is right near my GameStop store, but this time I picked the PS3 version as I'm thinking I have Soul Calibur on my 360 downloaed, Soul Calibur 2 for Gamecube, Soul Calibur 3 for PS2 (which is the only Console version), and Soul Calibur 4 for 360 so I said "Eh, what the heck? I rather have free online gameplay if I want to fight online and I have a wired connection for my PS3" and I like to expand on my PS3 collection.

If you want Dampierre early you have to pre-order at BestBuy!

Link:
Soulcalibur V Is Ready To Go, Dampierre DLC Exclusive To Best Buy

PS: I was sorely ticked upon hearing it as I already plan to use my Reward Points from GameStop to take off $50 from my pre-order copy when it arrived so it will be paid in full with the money I already put down for the reserve.

Off The Wall / Re: Looking for a new Modem, which one should I get?

« on: January 05, 2012, 03:28:12 AM »

I know... our provider is Verizon I believe? Though we had DSL for like over 6 years... I don't think we've upgraded it or check our connection speed for a while now and I checked with my parents. Apparently my dad said the provider is under mom's name for setting up the internet connection but when I asked my mom she said it was dad. I think it's been so long they've forgotten.

I really need to fix this up... we need at least 50mbps... that should be enough, but how much will it cost for that much speed? Hopefully it's between $30-40 for that kind of speed.

Also the name of my Router is Westell VersaLink Model 327W which we had for as long as we had DSL. Is that too old? Do I need to look for a new Router after checking my ISP?

Very funny Quickman.

Anyway this is my current connection speed:

My Ping is: 111
My Download speed is: 0.30Mbps
My Upload speed is: 0.13Mbps


Which is horrible for online gaming which is why I tend to lag most of the time. Any suggestions should I take to improve my connection speed? Contracting my ISP is one way to get some help with it, and maybe the Netgear would provide extra boost even only a little, and Cable Connection is better for online gaming right? There are five people in my house that use the internet so bandwidth or whatever gets split or something right?

What can I do?

Off The Wall / Looking for a new Modem, which one should I get?

« on: January 04, 2012, 06:46:10 AM »

Hey there! I'm trying to get a new Modem as I want faster connection speed when playing online and I want to know which is the perfect type of Modem to get. I have DSL connection and I'm currently using the Westell Modem (that's what it says on it) and we've had it for like, I think, 6 years give or take. I noticed on my grandfather's computer when my little brother uses it when he goes over to his house he has a Netgear Modem and the connection speed is much faster than ours at home seeing how fast the YouTube videos load.

I talk to one of my old friends and mentions getting a Cisco 1650x Modem for better connection speed, but another person in an online game I'm playing recently stated that Netgear is better to get but I'm not sure.

Which one is better to get and/or is cheaper that goes well with our wireless connection speed? My dad doesn't want to spend $100 for Comcast connection speed monthly so that's why we currently have the DSL connection.

What about you guys? What do you think I should get for a new Modem to enable faster connection speed?

News and Announcements / Re: Revamped version of "Rockman X1" to appear on iOS units (iphone/ipad)!

« on: December 30, 2011, 04:24:08 AM »

I first, I'll admit the visually look beautiful for a remake port for the iOS and has a cartoonish look to it, but after seeing the video the animation... looks sloppy, slow I guess? I mean it looks good for a Flash-like game but having the maps divided into mini maps... are long maps impossible to have on phones? This is one of the reason why I don't like having console-like games on my phones, phones are just that... devices to communicate with with each (though I do miss playing games like Snake on the phones).

And the controls... I'm not comfortable with using touch screen, I prefer the good ol' direction pad and button for this kind of games. AND you can buy all the equipment and such with REAL money? I can't even fathom why people would do that to a game or customer EVEN buying them! They're in the game and I can collect them just fine without paying a single cent of my real money to get them, just give me a Freeplay mode when I unlock everything and there I go! I can start the game with everything!

I love Mega Man X, it was the first Mega Man game I grew up with and it holds a dear place in my heart... that is why I got the PSP in the first place because Keiji Infaune said he wanted to remake the X games from 1 - 6 (yup, even the one he had no part in directing) and I got Maverick Hunter X as my first PSP game (Harry Potter 5 was actually my first but I didn't play nor what I did with it... sold it I guess) and loved it for the extra features added into it, plus the anime story was awesome and made me want to see a MMX anime come to life, and the Freeplay mode is just a lovely addition as well including the Vile Mode.

I'm sad they didn't got through with it, but I hope they do remake X2 - 6 on Vita because this looks like it's going to catch a lot of attention and a great way to expose more of the series to newcomers and old fans alike.

I wanted to get Legends 3 because I like the Legends, but it got canceled. I wanted to play as Mega Man X in a fighter game and UMvC was a good chance of that, but they said no. Honestly I'm not sure what Capcom is even trying to do with their blue bomber mascot and they said he still holds a special place in their hearts... I call bull. If that's so, make a new mini-game featuring X for iOS, Android, handhelds, or whatever to see if fans want it... don't rehash an old classic when I have the X Collection (I never got the original SNES cartridge or I lost it, but I played my cousin's everytime I went to his house) and the X remake.

Maybe they should port the PSP remake to Vita or something if they wanted to do something like this. OK, maybe NOT a good business move to make fans happy but better than this. I will not buy this even as I lack the device to play it and I own the other two version.

This is truly a no-win situation, and I pray the directors, or whatever the word is for people in charge in business, at Capcom could read our post or look at why their Mega Man products aren't selling and finally get it through their thick heads to make new Mega Man games and have the blue bomber HIMSELF as a cameo in other games... I least Mega Man Trigger had some fighting moves. But that's wishfully thinking, but I hope it comes true.
