History VideoGame / RockmanCX

* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:''Rush'' of all characters is the first boss of Light 5 following the BossRush, and he's a surprisingly capable fighter.]]

* VillainProtagonist: Rockman CX, who takes down all of Dr. Light's robots. That said, the PerspectiveFlip makes Light much more threatening, and Wily doesn't seem to be engaging in any villainous acts. [[spoiler:Unless you count one of his castles suddenly appearing during the ending.]]

* Cheat Man ''loves'' this trope, he has certain attacks that bypass MercyInvincibility and can juggle you to death if you get caught. When the rematch with the ''Videogame/Mother3'' instruments happen, he gets an even more deadly trapping attack- the instruments lock your movements and Cheat Man slowly nudges your HP down with punches.

** During the FinalBoss, if you die, you will respawn right where you left off instead of starting over; and you also regain some Weapon Energy.

* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:In a clear homage to ''Videogame/YoshisIsland'', Dr. Light grows to incredible size via his flying capsule to engage you on the rooftops of Right Labs. Defeating it reveals it's holographic like the [[Videogame/MegaMan2 Alien]].]]
* PlatformHell: Many stages (most notably Air Man's and Rock Man's) have misleading paths that cause you to fall into spikes or a pit ''immediately'' after entering a new screen. Likewise, a number of stages in the game have ''Mario'' invisible blocks and there's even a few Force Beam obstacle courses which are leagues ahead of ''Mega Man 2'' in terms of difficulty.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: Collecting Weapon Energy when the current weapon you have equipped has maximum energy (or have no weapons selected at all) will instead use the energy to replenish health instead.

** For a shield weapon, Ringo Shield is considerably powerful. Once deployed, it will instantly destroy most enemies (ones that aren't destroyed simply absorb it but still take damage) and can even destroy ''projectiles'', said projectiles occasionally spewing out items when destroyed.

* KamehameHadoken: [[spoiler:Dr. Light throws [[Videogame/StreetFighter Hadoukens]] as one of his attacks]].

* VillainProtagonist: Rockman CX, who takes down all of Dr. Light's robots.

** Dr. Right 5's spike maze and AllTheWorldsAreAStage segments use [[Videogame/{{Undertale}} Megalomania]] as their theme.

'''[=Rockman CX=]''' is a [[GameMod ROM hack]] of ''[[VideoGame/MegaMan2 Rockman 2]]'' by Zenkaku Himajin, completed on August 23rd, 2016. Compared to other ''Rockman 2'' hacks such as ''RockmanNoConstancy'', ''[=CX=]'' is a much more major project, reskinning the entire game into something that closely resembles the ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' series, complete with an intro stage, a [=MMX=]-styled [[VideoGameDashing dash]] ability, and an entirely different plot, starring EvilCounterpart [=Rockman CX=] as the game's VillainProtagonist battling Dr. Light's army of robots. Like many of the ROM hacks that preceded it, it's not without it's share of NintendoHard PlatformHell moments.

** Cheat Man is assisted by a Gently Weeping Guitar, a Jealous Bass, and a Beaten Drum from ''Videogame/Mother3''.

* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Played with thanks to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Cheat]] Man, who generally likes to glitch Rockman CX around and kill him in several odd ways (including causing one half of the arena to spontaneously disappear, transporting him outside the arena, and using rapid-fire and rebounding bullets on him).

* PlatformHell: Many stages (most notably Air Man's and Rock Man's) have misleading paths that cause you to fall into spikes ''immediately'' after entering a new screen. Likewise, a number of stages in the game have ''Mario'' invisible blocks and there's even a few Force Beam obstacle courses which are leagues ahead of ''Mega Man 2'' in terms of difficulty.

** Dr. Right 5 uses [[Videogame/{{Undertale}} Megalomania]] as it's second theme.

** Right 5 uses [[Videogame/{{Undertale}} Megalomania]] as it's second theme.

* AllTheWorldsAStage: [[spoiler: The second half of Dr. Right 5]]

* SuspiciousVideoGameGenerosity: [[spoiler:After fighting Rush and Dr. Light in Right 5, you get to stock up with four Weapon Energy capsules and four extra lives. What follows afterwards is a maze of spikes with flying Armor Joes and a lengthy AllTheWorldsAStage segment.]]

* InfinityMinusOneSword: Cheat Ringer. See OneHitKill below.

* PlatformHell: Many stages have misleading paths that cause you to fall into spikes ''immediately'' after entering a new screen. Likewise, certain stages have invisible blocks ala ''Videogame/KaizoMarioWorld''.

* ChestMonster: [[spoiler:Two of the E-Tanks right before the Guts Dozer contain enemies inside that stun you and breathe poison gas, dropping your HpToOne. It is possible to kill the enemies before they have a chance to stun you, becoming regular E-Tanks.]]

* DidntNeedThoseAnyway: In both Kamen Rider and Yoshino Man's stages, there are red Hot Dogs present. If you destroy the head, the tail begins to rapid-fire bullets at you until you destroy that too (which kills the Hot Dong entirely) or the head regenerates.

* FrickinLaserBeams: The Force Beams from Quick Man's stage appear in Kamen Rider and Yoshino Man's stages with a new trick up their sleeves: they can now ''change direction'' in mid-air. [[spoiler: [[OhCrap They get worse]] once you reach Dr. Right 3]]

* NoEnding: By virtue of it still being in Beta, the game ends after the BossRush.

** Kamen Rider gets a smaller, one-screen arena.
