 About the Game Mega Man Rock & Roll is a 2019 fangame released by Dennis Engelhard on the PC. Inspired loosely by Mega Man 9, the game imagines a new plot from Dr. Wiley in the Mega Man universe and sets the Blue Bomber to stop Wiley's nefarious deeds once again. The big change added by the mod is the inclusion of Roll, Mega Man's sister as a playable character. Roll has typically been a supporting character across most of Mega Man, she sometimes acts a shopkeeper, but is usually simply there to comment on events and be the housekeeper for Dr. Light's lab. She's seen some extra play in the likes of the Mega Man Battle Network series where she acts as a powerful early summon and as a friend of Mega Man, but ultimately remains a background character there as well. She's also rather infamously seen play in fighting games, being the absolute worst character in Marvel vs. Capcom 2 to the point that an entire tier is named after her and dedicated to how terrible she is. But Engelhard's efforts have given the maligned younger sister a new lease on life as she enters the fray here. Roll is distinct from her brother, Rock, in that she has a double jump, incredibly useful in the precision platforming world of Mega Man, but at the cost of taking a point more of damage from all sources and lacking the ability to charge her buster. It's a strong contrast, with the siblings being very powerful in very distinct circumstances, Roll is much more likely to get you to a boss, but might well struggle when you get there. That's not all for changes made, with Engelhard adopting the weapon wheel introduced in Mega Man 11 and finally having half the robot masters be female. Unsurprisingly, fan reception for the mod has been excellent, with Engelhard himself being taken aback by the response. What makes it more surprising is that this is Engelhard's first ever game mod, with the original concept for Rock & Roll simply being an attempt to recreate Mega Man's physics. The creativity on display really speaks to what I think is a bright future for him in game development and it shows as he's taken what he learnt here and is working on his first original game, Nevermore. I can speak for both Tea and myself when I say that we are incredibly excited to see what this game has in store. About the LP This is a blind Co-op LP. Tea and I will play through the game and when possible (aka when Tea is at my house) we will swap controllers with each level and each life so you can see our different approaches to platforming! Art and banners, will, as ever, be handled by the amazing Bifauxnen. Episodes                               Links Our Patreon! - In case you want to support our LPs and see episodes early! (Incidentally this is also the only place where I can actually time video releases, so if I need to delay posting a video here, it will show up on Patreon on its own.)

Our adventure begins, as always, with some incompetence.

Shei-kun posted:The only criticism I have of this game so far is the double-penalty of increased damage and no charged buster for Roll, but as we haven't seen any of the other weapons and abilities she and her brother will unlock in this games, it may very well be a reasonable balance in the long run. I will say that if it gets absolutely excessive on any one area you might end up getting a montage of all our deaths rather than watching the same segment 20 times as I get more enthusiastic and Tea goes more insane.

Gnoman posted:Hah, the latest episode is kind of funny if you remember the Megaman 9 LP. Man gets old. Shitenshi posted:Looking at some of these levels, I seriously wonder what Engelhard is thinking comparing this mod's difficulty to MM1 and 4. The latter was my first MM game and I still managed to complete it with no real issue, while the only difficult parts of 1 for me were stuff like the Yellow Devil and the clone Mega Man boss. It's much, much closer to MM9 if you don't know the boss order. Same as 11 actually.

Carpator Diei posted:I've pretty much been waiting the whole LP for you to get here; this might genuinely be the most impressive and memorable Mega Man level I've ever seen. The Fortress stages in general are excellent, both individually and in the new ideas for how the Fortress part of a Mega Man game can work. I'll get to this comment after the next episode.

Natural 20 posted:I'll get to this comment after the next episode. As promised. This is the single best stage a Mega Man game, official or fangame has produced in my opinion. The only comparable ones for me are Splash Woman in 9 and Quick Man in 2. And I don't think they come close. The platforming precision alongside the creativity of the puzzles and the immediate visual appeal of the stage are put simply, not something I've seen a platformer put together so well. This stage was an absolute joy to play top to bottom and you can hopefully hear how engaged Tea and I are as we play through it. Dying to the boss wasn't even that bad because we just get to play back through this kickass stage again. Rock n Roll isn't my favourite game of this year, but with this stage alone it is very very close.

Explopyro posted:I think some of these criticisms are at least a bit unfair. For one thing, unlocking the Protoman stage means you will not have to fight the extra bosses in that run (you need to save all four allies and unlock their respective locks to make that level available). And also, with a bit of practice the Copy Robot fight is very readable, and not that hard to get through without spending E tanks. Eh I can say that Copy Robot is pretty loving stupid since it's essentially three seperate full HP bars of boss with no weakness to exploit. I've managed to get past only using a single tank but none feels like I'm just running for the right RNG since Roll's attack pattern is completely trivial if she jumps and an absolute nightmare if she doesn't. This isn't Kaizo though, there's nothing here that's outright trying to make you have a bad time. Dennis even noted that his thought around the extra robots was that players on their first time will make the effort to find them all, but speedrunners wouldn't and he wanted speedrunners to have a harder challenge in the final stage, so having to care about ammunition usage and the like.
