I do hope they bridge the gap between classic and X with this one though. Or at least start to.


There's a short appearance of an under-construction Zero in the arcade game
Megaman: The Power Fighters.

Since this thread is about general Mega Man discussion, I thought I should direct you all to these.

This dude is pretty much the best Mega Man X player I've seen. He essentially goes into the games and dissects them to the point where he's able to beat them without taking damage and following some pretty strict requirements. Those are his X4 videos, but he's got stuff for pretty much all the X series except 7 and 8, and videos for the Zero series as well. Pretty cool stuff.

That's our very own Violen. He is amazing.

They did fight in X5, but it was hardly epic. It would have been okay if X5 was the last game, or even if they kept doing them and left out Zero, but nope, he's back in X6 with no explanation.

X5 was supposed to be the last X game, but they made X6 behind the creators back.

From The MMKB

quote:

It should be noted that series creator Keiji Inafune originally intended for this to be the last title in the Mega Man X series, with Zero dying and resurrecting later in the Mega Man Zero series, but Capcom later decided to green-light Mega Man X6 against his wishes, changing his plans.

There's no part in X1 where you need the dash in order to progress, even in the Sigma stages. The same is true for X2.

Also X3, but you need to be very clever.

Link? I googled this, went onto Capcom Unity and everything and didn't see a shread of new Darkstalkers anything.

And Capcom isn't forgiven, because even if there is a new Darkstalkers announced, there's no guarentee it will ever exist. Who's to say Capcom might magically pull the plug on that one? From here on out I take every new announcement of a Capcom game with a grain of salt. You may never get to play it, no matter how much work has been put into it!

OH what the hell. That looks like crap. It almost looks like a proto version of the 2xsai filter.

Touch controls to boot. I"m already thinking of one thing that will be hell to get. Luckily the game lets you get it anyway no matter how much you try to avoid it.

Heh, now that I think about it, it's nearly impossible to do a naked run with MMX isn't it?

Closest thing to that is using a password to skip to Sigmas fortress without the boots. Not sure if there's anything you can do about the buster upgrade though.

I mean honestly, Capcom has completely pissed all over every popular franchise they have. Like, the only great Capcom game series that hasn't been anally raped lately is Darkstalkers, and that's because they haven't made a new one in a decade and a half. It's probably best to keep it that way.

They are could go wild with it and make a juggle/combo mode so you could use Air Tornado to hit them out of the air, then Laser Trident to nail them to the wall, then Crash Bomb finisher. Rapid switching in MM10 made that so much more fun. Custom reactions to some of the arsenal, or invulnerability to some of them, could make a load out selection pretty interesting. But yeah, six pages of weapons sounds dumb now.

Now, don't get me wrong, Capcom really hosed up when they announced a bunch of games and cancelled them in rapid succession. People have wanted Legends 3 badly for years, and wagging it in our faces as suddenly taking it away was a big slap in the face, whether Capcom intended it or not. I think it could be the fans' fault too.

Intro stage to MMX? loving. GENIUS.

If you've never played it before though don't watch that just go play it first. MMX is the shiiiiiiiiiiit.

The best part is there are many more things about the Intro Stage that the video doesn't cover, such as the very first pit in the game is VERY difficult to fall into without grabbing the edge.

Spoiled because I want to see new players reactions.

I wish they'd pull a Valve and buy it when it's basically finished. Buy it from him for like half a million dollars + maybe a cut of each sale, throw it up on absolutely everything for fifteen bucks, have a new Megaman 9 on their hands. An updated X1-3 styled Megaman game with way way more depth, a gigantic world to explore, far more indepth weapon mechanics, and like a ton of other poo poo? It looks to be extremely polished on the gameplay front, especially if that recent video's any indication, which is an issue that Capcom games have had for a while now!

Capcom will just c&d it the day it comes out like Sega did with Streets of Rage Remake.

I also had a Looney Toons game for SNES which was actually pretty good, and ran on a password system, which I also thought baffling because the SNES CAN save after all, why would they not implement that? Then after finishing it on easy I tried the normal mode, and it didn't give me any passwords because the game equated passwords with easiness, apparently. But only on Normal and above did you have bossfights and one entire extra stage (of 6). To this date, this is one of the dumbest decisions I have ever seen and I would have played the game countless times more if not for that insanity. That was 1995 and onwards. Talking about the serious necessity of extra lives 20 years later is absurd to me.

That game is from 92 actually.
