I.e. he was went overboard making Clown Man, and all the leftover parts were slapped on a refrigerator and Frost Man was born. I'd like to see the world the way Dr. Wily does, if just for a day.

Orcasword posted:Yeah but you can just play 7 for that. And 7 rocks the house much more than 6. In MM7, weapon charge time is longer than earlier games, jump height and slide distance is greatly reduced (in proportion to the character sprite), and Megaman even walks slower. MM7 just doesn't give you as much control over the character as the earlier games did. While it is ultimately a matter of opinion, it's easy to see why someone would prefer the earlier games over 7.

I'm trying to remember a Mega Man 4 romhack. When I last saw it the only part that had been completed was Pharoahman's stage, and it concluded with a drawn out fight that continued over several screens, with Pharoahman actually changing thr terrain during battle. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

I've adjust the teaser image a bit. I recognize Bombman, Flashman, Quickman, Cutman, Heatman, and Arthur; and there are also several characters I can't make out. I'm guessing all the robot masters from Mega Man 1 and 2 are there. Ultimately, this doesn't matter, because everyone will use Box Art Mega Man.

Hey, Silicon Era Dot Com, why don't you tell us all about these megamans?"siliconera.com posted:Mega Man Universe has a character customization system where you can make your own Mega Man by picking parts. Parts change the way Mega Man looks, his abilities and stats. Five parameters are shown in the screenshot above: life energy, weapon energy, shot, move, and jump. It appears Mega Man can equip different weapons too like Wood Man’s leaf shield and Quick Man’s boomerang. I was going to post a bunch of screenshots but waffleimages is down, so click the link and check the screenshots there. I'm getting the feeling that this will be "NES Mega Man Romhack: the Game." Even though there will be a 1:10 ratio of good levels vs impossible disappearing block puzzles, I'm pretty hyped.

The last big budget Mega Man game release for a home console was X8 in 2004. Except for the retro MM9 and MM10, every game since then has been on a hand held. Also, when first released Mega Man Legends and it's sequels didn't sell very well. Capcom wouldn't put out a game that they probably don't expect to do well on a system that has a high development cost. As much of a shame as it may be, I really think this was the only outcome. FrancisYorkMorgan posted:They should actually give Megaman a beard or just make him look like a goddamn man and make all the characters older and say it took 10 years just for Roll and Tron to finally build a rocket to go rescue him. Make all the characters older. Even though it's only been minutes between games, it seems all of your equipment is ten years out of maintainance. Oh well, I guess you'll have to start collecting all new stuff!

C-Euro posted:2. If you killed a certain optional boss one of the Maverick stages by using his weakness on him (Vile, with either the Ray Splasher or Crush Claw) you'll fight a hornet mini-boss in the 2nd Doppler level. Fight it as Zero and it will cripple Zero after the battle, and Zero will give his Saber to X. This gives you an extra charge shot that's a instant-kill on enemies and a two-hit-kill (maybe even one-hit) on bosses. Fully upgraded, X can charge the buster five times, in this order: weak charge, full charge, upgraded charge, second upgraded charge, Z saber. However, it's possible to get the Z saber without fully upgrading X! This cut's the charge by about half. Just a fun fact. I'll also second a recommendation for Violen's gorgeous X6 unarmored X minimalist run.

Jerk McJerkface posted:The Protomen have an entire rock opera telling the ballad of Mega Man and Protoman. I have their first album, it's pretty decent, but I guess their second album just came out, I'll have to give it a listen. I had to drive ~600 miles in a day a year ago, and I had the Protomen's second album playing on loop the entire trip. It is surprisingly excellent. As good as the first album was, the second is just so much better. Whatever's on the table plays.
