So straying from its roots to metroidvania is bad, but having RPG elements is okay?

I don't think Cabbagepots said anything about a 3D platformer Megaman taking R&C's RPG elements, just R&C's platforming and shooting elements.

Edit: Although, thinking about it, having R&C's RPG elements wouldn't be bad either. It could add some depth to be able to upgrade the weapons Megaman gets from robot masters.

Did Megaman always have brutal gameplay? My memory may have just failed me, but to me there was a MASSIVE leap in difficulty after Megaman 3. Only recently I played one of the PS1 Megaman X games, and it was loving nuts. There was a driving segment at the beginning of one of the stages that made Battletoads' look simple.

Are you talking about X5's Squid Adler stage for the Jetbike section? I wouldn't exactly put that in the same category as the turbo tunnel for difficulty. Then again, i've always found X games far easier than Classic games simply due to X having far better air maneuverability than Megaman.

I like to imagine that the original series has no real "end". Dr. Light dies of old age and creates X, that's a given, but Mega Man and Proto Man just go on being robots and not dying horribly. They're simply obsolete.

I like to think Wily made Zero, who proceded to kill everyone except Dr. Light, who went into hiding in some secret lab to build X so he would eventually stop Zero.

Seriously what is it with Capcom voices, they've got to know by now that they suck at picking voice actors and should let someone else do it.

Well if you take into consideration that Capcom has realized this and thus have made their game's dialogue cheesy on purpose in most cases, I would say they do a pretty good job of picking voice actors who can sound confident saying those lines.

I purchased Megaman 9 about a year ago but never really played it..I just tried it out and man do I suck at Megaman games. The only one I was ever good at was Megaman X, and I could never beat the last boss.

Velguader Sigma isn't that hard, just rolling shield him to death.

Edit: To add to the conversation, I also bought MM9 when it came out, and the game pissed me off so much in places, especially against Wily and that stupid boss gimmick of making me bounce eggs back at him to damage him.

I'm not making the same mistake twice, so screw MM10, and give me another X game Capcom. Those games I kick rear end at.

Also it's implied that X and Zero are "in" ZX whereas Axl is more the focus of ZXA, so if you have a beef with the new guy definitely pick up ZX. But that's a really vague plot point to give the games a semblance of continuity between the X and ZX series so it's really not that important.

I recall Oyster saying a while back in one of his Megaman marathon streams that(despite appearances) Model A actually stand for Model Albert, not Axl, and that Capcom has declared X7 and X8 not canon in the X series.

Mega Man X6 even had a level you COULD NOT FINISH if you were in Shadow Armor. There was a gap that you had to air-dash to get across, no other way. Shadow Armor can't air-dash. So then you either just die until you get a game over or exit out of the level. Awesome!

I thought that level was doable with Shadow Armor, although it required a pixel-perfect dash jump. Am I wrong on that?

They're also looking for a fan to help manage the developer site. Sounds like a job for Oyster, his Super Adventure Rockman LP would be the perfect resume, well unless Capcom objects to LP's on principle.

I like to think that Capcom would find Oyster over-qualified. I'm still convinced Oyster would beat Inafune in Megaman trivia.

Nah, it was just more Casshern then Astro Boy after a while. You can't even call the similarities a coincidence considering that they even homage Casshern's dog Friender in multiple ways, including literally including a robot enemy dog named Friender.

The main villian in Casshern, Black King Boss, was literally Sigma, and Casshern's helmet lights would even start blinking when he was low on energy, just like X.

Yeah :sigh:

As sad as this may sound, I'd be interested in a more free roam style X-series game where you can do more exploration and see more character interaction, and can get emergency calls to deal with sudden maverick riots. When you get to an area to fight the maverick, the game switches to a 2.5D perspective along the lines of MMX8 (ideally with tighter controls).

It'd be a way to show the maverick hunters as an organization that does not solely consist of X, Zero, Axl, and a support staff of varying sizes between games. It'd also be a way to do more with mavericks in general. Not all of them are evil just 'cuz. If this fictional game had decent writing that didn't take itself TOO seriously, while still dealing with some deeper themes, I think it'd be really cool.

There is that fangame being made called Megaman X: Corrupted, where it's classic SNES Megaman X but with a Metroidvania-esque world and exploration. Of course, that a fangame and i've learned never to rely on those ever getting finished.

so I picked up megaman 10 on XBLA on a whim. Holy crap is that game hard.

I have 3 questions.

1. do the controls feel just a LITTLE bit delayed to anyone else, or is it just me. I feel like i hit jump, but he doesnt jump, and then i almost throw my controller and I remember how games that are hard were so much fun. im using a regular wireless xbox controller

2. what's the best boss order for MM10?

3. is there any MMX or MM with the same suit upgrades and stuff coming out? I remember really liking finding new suit parts left everywhere by doctor light. but why couldn't he have just left them back at the lab?

1. Granted, I never bought 10, but I know 9 had a feature that simulated NES slowdown that could be turned on and off in the options. Maybe you should see if that option is in 10 as well and turn it off.

2. http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps3/982129-mega-man-10/faqs/59190

3. Capcom has abandoned the MMX series, so I wouldn't hold my breath on a new one coming out any time soon.

Really? That's a shame, I'd gladly pay :10bux: if a new X game was released for download in the SNES graphics style. It doesn't even need a plot or anything.

Let's put it this way. Megaman X won the Capcom Unity polls for the most requested character for Marvel vs Capcom 3, and chances are, he STILL won't make it in over the other Megamen.

I think we have a better chance of playing this MMX game over Capcom making a new one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUG5sTiwhYE&feature=related

The game is designed like a Metroidvania game, where you can explore a huge world and even power up weapons X and Zero get from bosses.
