If ZX leads up to Legends, then Legends takes place after X and Classic, even if it came out after. Does it really link up that way?

Yeah. The Mega Man storyline goes Classic->X->Zero->ZX->Legends. I don't think Classic leading into X or ZX leading into Legends quite works, is my thing.

I sure said that!

Legends always took place after X and Classic. That was the thing. Legends has things where you find old relics of X series stuff.

Then Zero and ZX were released and happened more directly after X and also each other. ZX also had the thing where humans and robots were becoming more similar to each other which sorta fits surprisingly well with Legends.

Also, I thought the Light Capsule things were important sometimes in the X series. Cutscenes once or twice. Also Wily and Zero stuff.

Anyway.

Don't know that Snake is even coming back. I love Metal Gear, but I'd sorta prefer a Castlevania rep from Konami.

I may have said that already. Damn time loop.

I dunno, the X games have always presented themselves as being in the future of the Classic games, what with the Dr. Light holograms and all the overt references to Wily in the PS 1 games and so on.

Huh. So Sakurai says that the Wii U and 3DS versions will share the same roster. Well that's... disappointing.

-

Huh. So the new Smash Bros trailer just came out and the Animal Crossing Villager is playable. Thoughts? I think he looks like a psychopath.

[up][up]I guess part of my problem is the claim that only Reploids have free will and personality, despite the Robot Masters in the Classic series showing plenty of both.

[up]Not sure if joking.

I think there was a Sigma final level that was sorta like Quick Man's level and some of the other levels and Sigma's "Σ" logo was turned to look like Wily's "W" symbol. That was neat. Also they had a new Devil boss.

"Legends always took place after X and Classic. That was the thing. Legends has things where you find old relics of X series stuff."

This was the answer I was looking for.

The Robot Masters were initially reprogrammed by Wily to perform evil deeds. I could be forgetting something, but that's all they ever really seemed to do. End of the stage, fight Megaman. Now and then you learn what they were programmed to do. That's why Reploids become a huge thing, because they're supposedly sentient, and then they go Maverick. "Free will" that goes horribly wrong, whereas the Robot Masters had to be reprogrammed to commit wrongs.

So do we know what the Yellow Devil is doing in Smash 4 yet?

Not really.

It shows up on the roof of Wily's Castle in the background before blobbing in on the arena, but we don't know if it's a boss or a stage hazard yet.

I sure said that!

Nothing.

I still say he's an Adventure Mode boss.

I wish they would show us some general gameplay. Mainly a look-around some of the stages.

Part of me almost hopes that Palutena isn't playable, just to get her support convos with Pit.

The other part of me damn well hopes that they don't make the codecs exclusive to one controller again. I never did them because i never used the Game Cube controller for Brawl...

I hope they reveal another newcomer soon.

[up][up]...They aren't exclusive to one controller. It's just easier on the Gamecube controller thanks to the easy D-Pad.

And I don't think Palutena being in would have any effect on codecs at all. If anything it would be ripe for some banter.

Medusa or Orcos before Palutena.

Medusa would be great.

Clawing teleports, hovering magic bombs, sweeping lasers, a petrifying gaze, all backing an arm that can take someone's head off with a punch.

I'm guessing we'll get another newcomer in April, since the major Directs generally happen every other month. Then, of course, two months after that is E3.

By the way, a bunch of Fire Emblem games debuted in Japan in April. I wouldn't be surprised if we get either Ike or an Awakening character. Or Sakurai throws a curveball and we get an Elibe rep.

Yeah, I'm hoping we get an FE newcomer in April for that reason. The fact that Sakurai's been putting so much creativity into the all of the new characters' movesets so far, does give me hope that whoever we get, (even Chrom), they'll be made pretty distinctive.
