Yes, they are Rockman Model ZX, but no, they are not Rockman ZX, much like Zero isn't Rockman Zero. Besides, the second title in the ZX-series is named Advent for a reason: it is not ZX2 and was never advertised as such. It is simply another title in the setting established in ZX; therefore it can take a different route and exclude Rockman Model ZX from the role of main character.I disagree.
This is why I said, IMO. It just my own personal opinion. I think it's worse to do it with established characters in a long running series with many, many games, rather than characters only one game in. Like I've said before, to me, it's the equivalent of doing it with Samus in the Metroid series.I dunno, I think a game where you start as Rundas and unlock a Hyper Beam wielding engine of destruction Samus would be pretty damn badass.
Could've sworn I already admitted my error with ZXA... LOL, and as for what you're hearing, I have NO idea, cause judging by the Cyber Mission post, you're not listening at all. You brought up the title thing with ZX. I have CLEARLY stated time and time again that I find it unacceptable for X, the main character of his series, having to be unlocked in his own series. So why you would think I'd find it acceptable in Rockman X Cyber Mission is mindboggling, title or not.Because you claimed that tacking on an additional label, "Advent" justifies ignoring previous character references in the title.
LoL, I'm adding ambiguity? NOW you've specified this fact with the characters. Before you didn't, and just said that one thing....
My previous post read, "...you cannot, ever, play as MegaMan Model ZX."You are either unfamiliar with ZX series terminology or you are not paying attention.
Zero doesnt own the X seriesConsidering that Inafune's idea of "finality" in the X-series is to simply kill Zero, that is HIGHLY debatable. The game outright states that a still-off-screen character wants X dead, for crying out loud.
So just when we thought Tails couldn't get screwed over any further, he gets demoted from cheerleader to Gareth's lion.(click to show/hide)
Wouldn't that just mean that prior to Super Metroid, the pirates were simply practically wiped out, only having a stronghold at Zebes remaining? Things like the Pirate Home World being struck by a Leviathan would surely leave a mark, not to mention continuous conflicts with Samus' and the Federation.The scenario itself is possible I guess, but as a matter of presentation it's exceptionally hard to swallow when one amends the canon established 16 years ago, even more so when it's direct sequel has been established for nearly 8 with no issues.
One has to wonder how the Federation captured Ridley in Metroid Fusion relates to pirate resurrection habits.I would presume that prior to Other M the Ridley corpse that the Federation recovered was simply one other than Super's. As of Fusion's development there's still the original Metroid and Prime 1 to choose from.
Only thing I don't like so far is Layton being prosecutor instead of partnering with Phoenix, but well, the VS part of the title has to go somewhere.It'll probably wind up being a "friendly rival" kind of thing like with Edgeworth.
The second game is called ZXA, not ZX2. With the A there, it still works, if you are going by title.So what I'm hearing then is that such a maneuver would have been perfectly acceptable in Rockman X Cyber Mission?
Also, there's a total difference. X is the main character of the series. He is the main protagonist. Model ZX is not to the ZX series as X is to the X series, because Model ZX is not the protagonist. Vent & Aile are, and in ZXA, Grey & Ashe are.

X isn't the main character in the ZX series, from my understanding. Vent & Aile are, followed by Grey & Ashe.Point missed.
I honestly found the dive to not be a problem. I rarely NEED it anyway, what with Zero's broken Buster and his saber doing a good chunk of damage too.It's less a matter of needing it and more a matter of activating it when you don't want to, particularly when trying to do battle from wires. But yeah, you can just skip Skaravich if you're not as obsessive-compulsive as me; it's not as if his weapon is particularly useful.
Unlocking the main character in his own series... such shenanigans.Tell that to ZX Advent. At least in X7 you actually do get to play as X, as opposed to having Axl transform into X.
A couple of X6 flaws:I find it refreshing to kick the baddie while he's down.
Necroposting Sigma(sorry I just had to)
Zero's ultra cheap Z Buster
Blizard Wolfang's stage is icy hell
Heat Pheonix's stage is a survival course (literally)
Gate's weakness is stupid
Heat Pheonix's weakness is stupid
Ground Scravich is easy to kill
Level designs are ridicously hard
Shield shelldon's stage is fairly easy
Nightmare Zero is hard to kill with armor less X
Rock beats Fire for some reason
X's gate stage has the "leap of faith"
"leap of faith" is impossible with shadow and armor less X
Why wouldn't Samus get equally upset the first time he's revived - Metroid Prime 1, I think? - when she's bound to be just as unprepared for his return?In Prime 1, Samus witnessed Ridley on board the Frigate Orpheon (and again in Phendrana, IIRC) long before ever doing battle with him. So, yeah, cat was out of the bag. There's also no telling how familiar she is with Pirate habits in regards to resurrecting defeated leaders.
And, are we dismissing Prime 3's Pirate Home World canonicity? I mean, they weren't Zebesians, but Ridley was a Space Pirate leader, wasn't he?Other M seems to refuse to acknowledge the Primes, although quite frankly with or without the Primes I have a few issues with their canon as to how they depict the Space Pirates.
Then again the Pirates work [tornado fang]ing fast. In Zero Mission he lands like 4 hours in, then you kill him shortly after, then some 2-4 hours later you fight MECHA RIDLEY!!!I think that's less speed and more vanity. "Mecha Ridley" having no organic components, I see it as a part of the mothership, which Ridley commands, that was designed in his image.
The wiki claims that the Pirates that conquered Zebes (and altered themselves to live on it, according to the manga) renamed themselves Zebesians and considered it their home world, though they were still basically Space Pirates.Again, Pirates being bred on/modified for/otherwise tied to Zebes is not the problem. The problem is how exactly does Zebes' loss equal the death of ALL Space Pirates? It makes absolutely no sense because Zebes was lost twice, once in the original and once in Super. Granted in the original, the entire planet didn't explode, but having bombed their base and their mothership I think it's a safe bet that they were routed from the planet. So the fact that they survived its loss once but couldn't survive the same loss again is exceptionally hard to swallow.
Must've been half-asleep. Still doesn't explain it popping up from out of nowhere, though.(click to show/hide)
So, with this game continuing where Sonic3 & Knuckles left off, how does its story relate to the Adventure games and beyond?"Story".
Of course, that is another thing X6 could have specified better.Perhaps, but Capcom's guilty of the same thing when it comes to explaining Sigma's demise. In both X5 and X8 they failed to do so properly. For that matter they also failed to kill Zero properly in X5. Boss explosion? Seriously? In general I'll take X-series over Zero-series any day, but Inticreates DEFINITELY one-upped them on that one.
Every example in that video I can attribute to either You're Doing it Wrong or You're Doing it on Purpose.Obviously true on the incline deceleration. ANY seasoned Sonic player, when they see they are not clearing an incline (and yes that can happen a plenty) will either turn around or jump, and jumping off of an incline was never smooth in the Genesis games to begin with (if anything Homing Attack gives you more of a fighting chance in those situations).
And maybe it's just me, but even in the Genesis days I held forward after a spin dash, or most anything that requires me going forward at all, so the air momentum thing is not a problem to me. Hell, stopping in mid air could actually be very helpful when platforming. You can fall at the precise spot and not worry about overshooting.I actually notice it more when trying to brake from a spin-dash, particularly during the final boss fight, so yeah it can be useful once you adjust. But really, a Homing Attack/Jump Dash in the opposite direction ought to be able to cancel momentum just as well without screwing with the default movement. Further, if we're open to incorporating 3D Sonic abilities into 2D (and I must admit they handled that pretty well; felt a lot more natural than midair boosting in Rush, and the range was short enough that it didn't break the game), I think a MANUAL Jump Cancel such as used in Secret Rings/Black Knight wouldn't have been a bad idea. Heck, there were a few areas in the final Act where I would have killed for such an ability, what with how fast those freaking gates close. Come at one too high in the air and you're dead.
Ridley scene could've been a flashback to the first time they fought and it would've made perfect sense to me since they already demonstrated that Samus was entirely human when she was younger (which we wouldn't know from previous games), but this is like the 5th time he gets revived and she has to put him down, and only now do the symptoms manifest? ...It may be psychologically accurate, but in video games you're supposed to go with what feels realistic, not what actually is.What part of "Samus thought she put Ridley behind her" do people not understand? We expect him to be there by "it's a game" logic simply because he's the next most recurring enemy after the title creatures, but the in-story rationale is that the Space Pirates are toast and as such nobody is around who would WANT to revive him.
But I actually had a bigger problem with the Sector Zero cutscene. It was rather unclear why Adam shot Samus - his explanation made no sense, he shot her so she wouldn't shoot the infant with her superior weaponry that would work wherever his did and then some - although I could buy that it was just an excuse and actually meant to stop her from going into S0 instead of him.
And probably most irritating, Samus reacting exactly like she did when she was an emotional teenager suggests she hasn't matured at all - meaning she's a girl, not a woman.That was already addressed in her monologue after flashing back with Anthony. She's matured in that she better understands why Adam did what he did, even why he was right to do so, and how difficult it must have been even if he wouldn't show it. But that still doesn't mean she'd act as he would. She already stated directly, to herself at least (Anthony let it go) that she wouldn't.
Mew is nice and all, but are we EVER going to get the Azure Flute in our lifetime? I mean seriously, it's ridiculous, not even Japan has it and they have 5th gen already.Probably not. I'm betting somebody at Nintendo realized how game-breaking Arceus would be if it were released with the full IV/Nature manipulation afforded by an actual encounter. Plus the cat was out of the bag in Japan due to a game glitch in early versions anyway.
Am I the only one NOT happy about the massive fan input on this project?The thought crossed my mind, I'll admit. But it's not as if they're giving the fans completely free reign. Capcom's still providing the general direction, they're just opening up some of the decision-making to the rest of the world. And besides, they've been taking boss/enemy submissions ever since MegaMan 2. This is a bit deeper, yes, but Capcom's presence certainly ought to prevent the anarchy of fangames.
There is a very good reason designers don't do this, and one look at fan games and fanfics is enough to show why.
