Maybe that's why they showed us Tango! Maybe Roll will have access to Tango instead of Rush! That would make sense: Roll's advantage is mobility, so Rock gets mobility assistance from his dog, and Rock's advantage is offense, so Roll gets offensive assistance from her cat! If that is the case, I'm going to be personally obligated to play this. That would make me so happy

There was a stag beetle in the X games! Gravity Beetle in X3.

It's interesting to contrast the weapons from this game with mainline Megaman games, especially recent ones like Megaman 10 and 11. In Megaman 10, the weapons are just too weak--they have awkward angles of attack, most of them take up a lot of ammo, and they don't really seem to do enough damage to be worth switching to. In 11, the weapons are much stronger and have better ammo costs, but a lot of them are so similar that it barely matters which one you pick in most situations. The weapons here in Rock&Roll are interesting because if you tried to describe them to somebody, a lot of them would sound bland. Fire Breath, Shield Bubble, and Desert Storm all looked underwhelming at first when their weapon demonstration started. However, the execution of them is so good. Some of them are very strong, some of them are very high utility, a lot of them have very obvious use cases, and a lot of them can be used in different situations to give you different options. That's the sign of good weapon design. You want situations that stand out enough that you think, "Oh hey, this weapon would be perfect" without being a blatantly obvious rock-paper-scissors puzzle of "See object X, use weapon Y." I'm particularly impressed with Shield Bubble so far. It's got the usual Megaman shield aspects, with the protection power dialed up (taking multiple hits) but using it as an offensive tool being made pretty risky (from the look of it), and that added "floating on water" utility is actually getting a lot of use. Floating on water is the kind of utility I love in theory, but usually when you see it, it's used as a one-off gimmick in one particular level and never shows up again. I think you've already used it in two levels, it probably has more uses if you go back to Tide Man's level, and who knows how many places it could pop up in the future. I particularly like how it changes the physics with the whale spouts, that's a really cute detail. I'm a little hesitant about the way that multiple weapons interact with enemies after the fact (Soul Trap turning them into missiles, Fire Breath making them explode) just because those aspects look awkward to use, but they seem like major coolness points if you pull them off and not a "necessary" feature to master. So you can use them for trick shots if you want to or you can just use them normally and still be okay. I like that design decision. Feels like a good way to handle it.
