Unofficial Official Mega Man Thread

I know there might be some Internet Backdraft, but... I think Wily Stage 1/2 from Mega Man 2 is somewhat overrated. I like it at first, but then hearing more and more can get pretty irritating, I know nobody's forcing me but... Seriously.

Personally, I prefer Elec Man's theme, it may be The Jimmy Hart Version of "Faithfully" by Journey, but I think it's pretty good.

STOP APOLOGIZING, MAN!!

Yes, i agree with Etheru, to an extent. There are more tracks to choose from (although none of the MM 2 Wily 1 remixes can ever beat out the original for some reason, in my mind.)

Oh, so that's what you meant, huh? I want to apologize for apologizing, but that's ridiculously redundant.

Duo's theme is also a pretty good hear, and for some reason, I really like Powered Up's remix of the Fortress Bosses as well as the stage 2 music, probably because it's a little creepy.

Weird, I thought I was the only person who liked Powered Up's remixes of the Fortress levels. Yay! :D

Gotta agree with you on adding the creepy atmosphere for those songs.

Mega Man 10 was apparently announced... With 8-Bit Graphics again...

Should I be glad or annoyed?

Another Mega Man game? Already? Quite honestly, I'm surprised. Even from Capcom.

Although the three playable characters do seem like an interesting use...

They already did it, but maybe they'll do it correctly this time.

Also, the third character is probably Bass.

And you're this surprised? They released a Street Fighter IV expansion recently, didn't they?

Ah, yes. This new Robot Master kind of reminds of Toad Man. Except probably be harder than Toad Man. Then again, everybody's harder than Toad Man. :P

And apparently, an Ice Robot Master will appear...

I wonder if it's going to be a girl...

Just more characters I'm probably going to add to an as of yet never produced Mega Man Fanwork...

Bass better be the third playable, or Duo.

Hell, I hope Duo appears in the game, however unlikely as it may be.

The only real question here is when are we getting a 16-bit Megaman X9?

Who knows, my friend...

Who knows...

That Mega Man 7 NES-style clone is in fact a clone of Mega Man 7. The only features changed are:

• The bosses cannot be stunned. This makes them harder, actually.
• You can select from all 8 levels at the beginning.
• There is no Rush Search, nor Giant Bolt.
• Some special items' locations have been moved. They are still completely obtainiable, and in logical order.
• Cutscenes have been removed.
• All graphics and sound are now in 8-bit form. (Notable feature: the music is in pxtone format, i.e. one of Studio Pixel's formats.)
• There is no hanging Super Famicom in the begnning of Junk Man's stage.

Megaman 2's always been my favorite, with Metalman being my favorite Robot master. He's such a deep character, arguably one of the most versatile and dangerous fighters, but he's unable to cope with his own personal issues, and that's his weakness.

My second favorite is Cutman, because FUCKING SCISSORS ON HIS HEAD.

Here's a scan.◊ Save it before someone takes it down.

Also, I like this remix of the Mega Man 2 Wily stage theme.

Also, Moriatti, where do you get that information about Metal Man?

AWESOME. I don't mind the 8-bit thing, it's a style choice, and at least they're making some additions to the gameplay. Why does this remind me of Castlevania III, though?

Also, if the third character is Bass, this will be my automatic favourite in the classic series.

Crono: Nintendo Power Retraux, 'nuff said.

No, no, not that. I swear it's because of the virus plot (ya know, Dracula's Curse) and the multiple characters thing.

@ Glen I bullshitted it based on the fact that Metal Blades are ridiculously broken, and kill Metal Man in a hit or two.

Does anybody think "Evil Dead" when they see Mega Man in the So Bad, It's Good artwork?

I mean, look at that pose.

Also, my favorite robot master is Duo Crash Man, he looks awesome.

His arms are freaking bombs, what do you expect?

In other unimportant news, just me replaying Mega Man 6 on the Anniversary Collection. Music's pretty kicking, I rather like Flame Man's music. The difficulty isn't really too bad, a bit of the Robot Masters are pretty easy to beat with the Buster (Blizzard Man for one.).

I'm taking a break from it, because playing Anniversary Collection on PS 2 for an extended time hurts my thumbs. ><

All the MM 6 robot masters are easy to beat with the buster.

Yeah, I ended up beating Centaur Man without even noticing.

I like to think that the name Clash Man was a Shout Out, seeing how the series (at least in japan) has musical Theme Naming.

Mega Man Zero Collection coming to DS. Yes, all four games. It's a better deal than Operation Shooting Star, at least.

Also, speculation on my part - ZX 3 is a Wii game, which is why they're taking so damn long to announce it, and these re-releases are meant to tide us over until then.
