Topic: What do you want to see in X9?

[Jericho]

Well, if you want Zero-series style with better detail, that's basically what ZX is.  And that's where it should stay, IMHO.

Good Lord, no! (Reaches for the Megaman Zero Official Complete Works)

Also, sketchy style =/= lack of detail/finesse. I think that's one of the major reasons why I knock the ZX art down some notches, everything has this pristine cleanliness to it due to the tighter line work. In the Zero series, things were somewhat rougher and as a result (to me), things had added character & detail.

I want detailed, quality art, not unfinished sketches. the later Z series artwork, (Z3 and 4) were spot on. in fact, I liked Z3's art best of all of them. but I wouldnt want that kind of sketchy X series.

Plus Sketchy might be a style, but it imparts a sense of unfinishedness, and impatience.

[Acid]

I loved MMZ's sketchy style.

I also love DMC's sketchy artworks.

but it imparts a sense of unfinishedness, and impatience.

And I ABSOLUTELY don't agree with this.

This. Seriously, two of my favorite art designs of all time (the ones used in the Jet Set Radio Series & Mario Strikers Charged) are based on the sketchy style and to say that is just demeaning to them.

[Flame]

It didnt look too sketchy to me.
The thing is, In Nakayama's artwork, as nice as it is, in a game, it just looks unfinished.

I gotta back this, even if it's Flame and I who are the weirdos.  I don't have anything against sketches.  Hell, I virtually never ink/color my own crap.  There is something to be said for a drawing in its "raw" form.  But for use in a video game, it looks sloppy.

[Protoman Blues]

I am referring to Zero's opening, not the game opening.  Two different scenes.

Once again, the point still stands.  His legs are clearly slimmed down, in order to make running possible without phasing abilities!

Just like balancing yourself during a dash.  Nobody cares.

Oh, I don't care.  I actually love the bulky legs.  LoL, but it's still physically impossible.

then WHAT are you complaining about if you like it?

[Protoman Blues]

then WHAT are you complaining about if you like it?

I'm not complaining.  I'm stating the fact that running with those ginormous feet is physically impossible!   

[Hypershell]

Yeah, but physically impossible can be pretty damn awesome.  Like a flying time-traveling steam engine.

[Flame]

Or how wall jumping works.

[Protoman Blues]

Yeah, but physically impossible can be pretty damn awesome.  Like a flying time-traveling steam engine.

Physically impossible has been awesome ever since Bugs Bunny didn't study law, for gravity!

[OmegaZ]

Physically impossible has been awesome ever since Bugs Bunny didn't study law, for gravity!

Or Tom and Jerry's ability to run without moving for two seconds straight

always found that awesome.

I'll just go back on topic by repeating what I said earlier:

A MMX platformer with X's MMXCM armor would be cool.

[Protoman Blues]

I do love that Energy Scarf!

[OmegaZ]

I liked the silverish color.

[Acid]

I liked the silverish color.

?

Oh hell yes. That armor was amazing.

[OmegaZ]

The neon red lights from when you dashed were for the fricken win.

[Flame]

I was never able to get the purple scarf... :C

how the hell am i supposed to get all the sketches when all the deployment areas are 100% cleaned out?

Purple? The [tornado fang]? I only got up to green.

[VixyNyan]

What do you want to see in X9?

[Acid]

As I mentioned many times before.

16-bit would be my prefered style for MMX9.

[Jericho]

Same here. Actually at this point, I'd love it if it could just have some wicked pixel art. (Looks dreamily at Shantae DS or that other mock up for a 16 bit Megaman X9.)
