Boss Contest Winner Announced, New Shooting Star Rockman?

[Protodude]

At long last, Coro Coro Comics has announced the winning design of the boss contest: "Clock Genius" created by Gouta san. Details are extremely slim but if the constellation theme in the design is any indication, we might be getting ourselves a new Shooting Star Rockman title.

More details to follow.

[VixyNyan]

Yay more Time Freeze/Traveling~

[Harruhy]

That design is so... I don't even know how to comment on it. >_>

[RMX]

What the hell Capcom? You promised no more Shooting Star

[Gaia]

It looks like a weird mixture of.. Time Man and that black dude from the A team? Weird. Capcom, what's with the sudden weirdness of bosses?

[Police Girl]

My god, It looks like Numbermans Successor with the Clock-Fro(Similar to Numbermans Disco-fro. ).

[HokutoNoBen]

Just because the design may be directly attributed to Ryuusei, doesn't mean a continuance, necessarily. It could just as well be a design used for a new game.

Or at least, I'd like to think as such, given how Capcom was displeased with Ryuusei, and seemingly content to let it go after a 3rd game.

Further postings on 2ch reveal the game that the boss correlates to is undecided.

Thank you, but looks we are going to have a ZERO of the EXE series (Shooting Star Rockman is EXE's relevant X series, in terms of design wise and X series references).

Well, didn't they say, with the opening of the contest, that you were at least allowed to basically have a "preference" for which series your design pertained to the most?

Obviously, an EXE/Ryuusei design was probably going to end up the winner, since kids were going to be the one stuffing the inbox for the contest. But I don't think the end product will be either of those games.

[MrBaryl]

I just hope for more ZX, ryuusei will end with part 3.

I HOPE....

...I've seen better looking "boss" designs in our own art forum, and that's seven times out of 10 not a good thing.

As long as this gets ripped apart by Zero in some form, I'm fine with it. But for the love of god, no more EXE or Starforce. I'm delighted 3 ended the series, though EXE 3 was supposed to be the end, then they whipped out that half-assed pile of turd called EXE4.

One problem: There hasn't been a main series game in awhile, and by the looks of it this thing's appearance looks like something relaiting to EXE and Starforce, so there may be a new series based upon those two to please the kiddies.

Does he have a clock for an Eye?

Well, it's painfully obvious that a new "Hobby-Style" Rockman is what this new product is going to be. EXE is what gave Capcom a license to print money back in the day. Ryuusei didn't quite live up to EXE's legacy, so it was killed off, in favor of starting anew for whatever this new project is.

At this point, those of us who have no love for the Hobby Style games, may have better luck waiting on "Scramble Battle" or something else to take shape.

Now one question remains: How will Zan be able to archive the series when he plays the games?

[Sky Child]

This looks like something Flame would draw.

[Zan]

Zan still has yet to beat SSR2. Let alone touched the third.

[VixyNyan]

Aww....you and I have so much in common, Zan~

About the drawing...

Don't forget that when Capcom has a winner decided from a Rockman fan, their internal artists will redesign the character so it will fit into the series they are working on. Just like the last couple of contests, the Rockman fan's artwork is just a concept. Capcom's artists will take care of the final design for the character. So in the end, it doesn't have to be a Shooting Star character. Wait until Capcom's artists makes the final changes first. ^-^

ho ho ho that one slaps me on de knee

keyword being "might" anyway

[Acid]

I think it would be highly interesting to see a MM game where the internal artists were not involved.

The contest winners should be used without any redesign. Gold right there. Can you imagine the outcome?

[Sky Child]

Acid, do you know how many boobs that would result in?

[Acid]

Sky, do you see the hidden scheme within my scheme?

So, in the end, basically what I was saying.
