You can turn the voice acting off as it is its own separate option from sound and music.

And it reminds me of MM8 so I'm cool with it.

Those feet on Acid Man look strange.

But I love Tundra Man's design and personality.  

It looks like Acid Barrier is the token shield weapon and is the same usefulness in the vain of Jewel Satellite and Rolling Shield. 

I don't think there are any bad weapons this time.

New Robot Master:  Tundra Man

HOLY ##### HE'S #####ING PERFECT!!!

Newcomer is too handholdy, in my opinion.  Play on Casual if you want to start. 

It's funny that he is in Smash.

Isn't Dr.Wright a Maxis property?

Yeah.  But every time I go to him he keeps trying to solicit me to become the mayor.

I'd rather just get my E-tanks the right way. 

Been playing the demo some more and I'd like to remove one of my nitpicks.

Even the bosses powered up form has easy telegraphed attacks.  It just took some time to figure out.  Block man can barely touch me now. 

Bounce Man's stage and theme is Cute!  CUTE! 

But the boss that would most likely be Acid Man looks the best by far.  Like Snake Man levels of awesome.

The amiibo functionality is #####ing #####.  It better do more than just give me a free daily item.  I could have used my Mega Man Smash Amiibo instead.

*Not Liking BFG Division*
*Not Liking Rip & Tear*

I liked both DOOM I/II and 2016 OST's.

Eagerly awaiting Doom Eternal now.  Holy ##### that gameplay looks fun as #####. 

2 Million?  Pfttt.  Capcom is planning on this baby to sell over 10 million copies.  That's a low estimate too.  Of course if it doesn't meet that very reasonable sales goal it will obviously show no one cares about Mega Man and it's a dead end franchise and the entire effort was a waste of time and resources.

Well you're just a ball of sunshine ain't ya

The thing with Mega Man is that despite how good it is it just never sells well.  I keep thinking it is because it was never advertised properly back in the day (The Japanese would get adverts while the US and Europe were more or less left in the dark.  Only a handful of Mega Man games made it over 1 million.  

Seeing how the US and Europe are actually advertising the game (Not to mention Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft themselves), it's appears to be getting a lot more exposure.  Could this be the first Mega Man game on its own (Not including re-releases) that breaks 2 Million?  I hope so.

Be thankful it isn't $59.99.

I just hope we get extra hidden content aside challenge modes and what not.  And I want a #####ing proper boss fight with Bass.  Bass's whole motivation was to prove he was the strongest and he just was nowhere in 9 and playable in 10 as his own character.  The rivalry needs to continue.

My only real complaint is the music.  I doesn't sound Mega Man to me.  Every other issue is minor nitpicks that can be overlooked.  Everything else is top notch.

I really hope this sells well. 

Also you don't really need to use Rush in this stage.  The E Tank can be grabbed by using the Pile Driver and dashing over to it.  I thought that was awesome.

I did it on Normal mode.  Wasn't really difficult once you get use to it.  Also it helps to turn on Rapid Fire and map it to a button.  Makes mince meat of everything including the mini boss.

Beat the demo.

Impressions

+Controls are very responsive and tight.  
+You don't need to use the gears at all.  They are useful in situations, but are not forced upon you.
+Level design is good, you know what's coming when you see it ahead of you.  Any time you get hit or die, it's your fault.  No bull##### suprises
+Weapons are MM9 levels useful.  Pile Driver is great for getting hard to reach items when horizontal distance is concerned.  Thunder Scramble is great for enemies above and for those wheel enemies.
+Rapid Fire is an option and tears though enemies and mini-bosses
+Boss has predictable pattern that you can memorize thus following the classic boss formula
+Voice acting is decent, but you can turn off the voices or even change to Japanese voices if you wish

-Gears are "Press" and not "Hold" so you have to press it again to turn it off.  A bit of an annoyance.
-Knock back is a bit of an ass so if you get hit by a pit, you're as good as dead.  Thankfully there will be a power part that will prevent knock back when hit so it's forgivable.
-Boss Power Gear is hard to dodge but I probably need to fight him a few times.  Why it doesn't let you slide under him is beyond me.
-Music is meh and samey.  Or at least I dislike the choice of instruments.  
-Minor nitpick but Mega Man's walking and ladder animations are a bit jarring
-You don't transition in the air when going through a boss door.  Game is #####.  #####ING DROPPED

But I kid, This game is going to be MM8 tier.  And I liked MM8 so I'm happy.  Then again I probably have ##### taste since I like X8 and the ZX series

Downloading the demo now.  Will post opinion once finished.

---

Played the demo, the games controls are tight and responsive as they should be.  Feels like a classic Mega Man game.  The game does push your ##### in hard, but it's still manageable.  You don't need to really use the gears at all.  I did game over since I'm a little rusty, but all in all I'm satisfied. 

Why can't we have both?

How about no.

Not really a big fan of Battle Network or Star Force.

Zero series can go jump off a cliff but I'll gladly take ZX collection.

Still need to play Legends....

Small news update.

According to an article on famitsu, Both Castlevania & Mega Man are getting alot of new remixes this time around.

More X music?  Yes please.

Aren't we supposed to be getting a demo? 

Even playing now I still enjoy it.  But I can see where Rez is coming from.  Nothing as of now will ever be better than X1-X4.  While I enjoyed X8, and tolerate X5 and X6, they are nothing compared to the SNES games and never will be. 

I completely agree with X7 being an awful 3D Mega Man game, but at least X8 had some actual good points.  X7 had absolutely none.

I think you might be clinically insane.  Go see Dr.Wily for that.

I like his weapon.  That pile driver is like an air dash for Mega Man

Does he have a french accent?

But can you finish it?  100% it? 

No.  X8 and X7 are two completely different games.

I had fun with X8.  The stupid kind of fun where you are ridiculously overpowered and slaughter everything.

There was no fun to be had with X7.  Everything was a nightmarish slog of a chore.   

Still not going to touch X7 though.  I just can't bring myself to do it. 

So after completing X5 & X6 with an X only run, I've gained a newfound appreciation for both.  It's stupid the split up the upgrades forcing you to share them, but if you play as one character it becomes a much better experience. 

It's still a hot mess, but it becomes somewhat tolerable.

Replaying Dad of Boy with New Game+ Mode.

Perhaps you should do something about it Rez.

Don on that mustache and get back to answering questions!

So Dr.Wily.  How can you be so certain that this "Double Gear" system of yours will work properly?  Are the robots you stole even able to handle that much output?

*Revives topic because of relevancy*

Looks like Rez-er...Dr Wily took over the official Mega Man Twitter account.

https://twitter.com/MegaMan

The switch is the best console IMO for Mega Man & Mega Man X at this moment.  Being able to play X4 & X8 on the go is awesome.  Of course X1-X3 are perfect as well.

And of course the legacy collection is great.

Jump Saver Mode Gameplay

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fRb04xo2uE&t=155s

Looks like you have to see how little you jump when clearing a stage.  Not sure what the point is, but neat I guess.

Happy Birth Day.

It's similar to Marth/Roy/Lucina's critical hit.  If it his, your KO'd

Here is a detailed moveset I came up with for X

Standard attack:  Punch, Punch, Buster Thrust
Standard Hold/Rapid:  Ray Splasher

F-Tilt:  Soul Body
U-Tilt:  Shining Ray
D-Tilt:  Ground Hunter

F-Smash:  Spinning Blade Charged Variant
U-Smash:  Storm Tornado Charged Variant
D-Smash:  Triad Thunder Charged Variant

Dash Attack:  Tornado Fang

Grab:  Strike Chain (Tether Recovery)
Grab Attack:  Buster Shots
F-Throw:  Splash Laster
B-Throw:  Silk Shot
U-Throw:  Rising Fire
D-Throw:  Spin Wheel

Neutral Air:  Frost Tower
F-Air:  Z-Saber
B-Air:  Twin Slasher
U-Air:  Wing Spiral
D-Air:  Metal Anchor (Meteor Effect)

Neutral Special:  X-Buster (X3)  Fires weak shots when pressed, charge to fire stronger shots.  At full power, it fires 2 shots.  1:  A slow moving projectile that is weak in power, but can bypass super armor and priority to interrupt any attack and 2:  A fast moving powerful shot.  If the 2 shots intersect, it becomes the super powerful cross over buster.  Charges can be saved.

Side Special:  Shotgun Ice:  Freezes opponents at high damage.  Charge to create a moving platform and gains speed and power as it slides.  Can act as a platform in the air that slowly descends.  Charge can be saved

Up Special:  Air Dash (X3)  X can dash in the air twice. 

Down Special:  Rolling Shield:  Fires a slow moving projectile.  Charged up creates a barrier that protects X from attack.  Will reflect projectiles once, then disappear.  Press again while barrier is in effect to fire it off.  Charge can be saved.

Final Smash:  X4-X6 Nova Strike

Only 1 of X's specials can be charge saved at a time. 

Colors/Variants:  Like Little Mac he has 16 choices.  8 are colors and the other 8 are his various armors (First, Second, Third, Fourth, Falcon, Blade, Glide, Shadow)

Still need to know if Chrom is part of Robin's final smash.  If so, then this gives X hope.

And X does NOT have to be an echo fighter.

I'm just stoked that we have Simon, Pit, and Mega Man.  IN THE SAME #####ING GAME

Dixie's fine too.  But K.Rool needed to be in first and foremost. 

And Green Mega Man should be Captain N Mega Man.  His taunts should be "Mega *Insert sentence here*

Perhaps if there's an XBox demo there will be at least a PC one.

It's assuredly a Switch purchase for me, but I'm not using the demo to test the game on specific hardware, I just want to get a feel for if the actual game is a good time or not.

Basically this.  From what I've seen looks very VERY promising, but I can't truly judge until I can try it out.  I hope it lives up to the hype its generating.

As far as other  Echo fighters go, I think Funky Kong would be a great addition for DK considering Dong Freeze had him playable. 

Shadow will probably be an Echo for Sonic.

I'd be down with that.

*Xbox*
*No Word of PS4 or Switch*

That's some #####ing bull##### right there

Almost done with X's story in X4.  Will do Zero's next. 

I think for X5 and X6 I'm going to only focus on X and max his abilities.

I'm just glad Ashley was deconfirmed.  Her fanbase is pretty toxic. 

Who said he'd have to be an echo fighter?

His moves would be based on his weapons and many would differ.

Standard:  Buster Shots > Ray Splasher
Tilts:  Soul Body, Shining Ray, Ground Hunter
Smashes:  Spinning Blade, Storm Tornado, Triad Thunder
Dash:  Tornado Fang
Grab:  Strike Chain
Throws:  Splash Laser, Silk Shot, Rising Fire, Spin Wheel
Air Attacks:  Frost Tower, Boomerang Cutter (Melee), Twin Slasher, Double Cyclone, Metal Anchor
Specials:  X-Buster, Shotgun Ice, Speed Burner, Rolling Shield
Final Smash:  Nova Strike

My hopes for X have gone up significantly.

I know X is part of Mega Man's final smash, but Chorm is part of Robin's final smash.  And now Chorm is playable as an echo fighter.

Seeing Zero and hearing that #####ing sweet Central Highway remix give me hope.

Captain N the Gamemaster mode.  It needs to happen.

*Disliking Metroid Prime*

NOW HOLD ON THERE!
