I want X.  X hasn't been in any fighting games and it's his turn.

In case anyone didn't know.  I got mine.  *Plays it*

Could be good. 

Hat Monsters.

rule #1: be the quickest
rule #2: dont talk about being the quickest!

I thought rules 1 and 2 were don't talk about /*silenced*

Oh wait.  That just applies with raids.

Aparrently, they retconned X7-Command Mission out of existance or as an alternate universe.

Granted, but you get flagged for spaming and banned.

I wish for Mega Man X9 for all 3 gaming systems. 

Roboenza isn't the virus.

It's a precursor to the virus.  Thanks to #####ing Capcom it's canon now.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF F

Too late. 

I axed him already.

So....yeah.

[spoiler]Reploids… those are robots made a time long ago who were near human and had limitless potential… Given individuality by means of advanced technology, the Reploids worked for humans and were meant to be the greatest ally to walk alongside mankind… However, trouble silently built up among the gears between humans and Reploids that beneath these peaceful times… Having limitless potential and being near human, it was only a matter of time before the Reploids would oppose humans. These kinds of dangerous Reploids the humans fearfully called Mavericks… Reploids that became Mavericks were disposed of by there own Reploid brethren… This was the response humans devised… For the Reploids trying to protect their human masters, there was no room for choice.

The birth of X

When an incident occured where an unknown computer virus came from space and causes robots to become violent and riotous, Dr. Light completed the battle robot “X” worrying about the future of Earth. Hypothesizing X could battle robots infected by viruses, he gave X the perfect virus counter-measure. Meanwhile Dr. Light developed a great number of armors, but this presented the possibility of X becoming a threat to mankind. To confirm the safety of X’s cognition program, Dr. Light sealed away X in an analysis capsule.

The confrontation of X’s “philosophy of coexistence” and the human leadership’s “philosophy of rule” begins.

Zero 1: The bosses are so out of place. Aztec Falcon, Thunder Beetle, and Flame Monkey should be stage select bosses. The four guardians should be fortress bosses, not stage select bosses, unless you want to pull a Megaman 3. The dragon thing and the train do not belong in the stage select part.

Zero 2: The game got alot better on where they can place bosses. But Thunder Kuwanger is an Intermission boss, and the guardians are still stage select bosses.

Zero 3: This game did alot better. It was alot like Megaman 7 and 8. Beat four bosses, and beat an intermission stage, then four more bosses. The problem with it is that there are so many intermission stages that they only put two fortress stages. First off the Baby Elves stage was okay, then we fight three bosses from the first game, kinda like how Megaman fights Megaman 2 bosses again in Megaman 3, with differences being that you fight them in their original forms, you don't fight them in the bosses of this games stages, and they don't include all of them. Finally we get Copy X, who should have had a fortress stage.

Zero 4: This game did a wonderful job on placing bosses where they belong. 

Doesn't change the fact that the Zero series is #####.

I thought 9 and 10 were 2/3 good. 

Yeah.  If anything they sould have modeled his sprite from the NEO GEO BATTLE AND FIGHTERS

Special Stage 1 was fun.  And Mirror Buster practically breaks the game. 

Bass mode is complete surprise sex. 

*LOCKS*

This topic has been moved to Miscellaneous MegaMan Games.

*Sigh*

Listen.  I'm going to be lenient with you.

The X series is not the place to post this topic in.  This should be posted in the Other Megaman Games section.  This reason being is because the X series forum is for discussion of the X series only.

This is a warning.  Also it wouldn't kill you to use punctuation.

I thought X8 was good. 

...

*Bans it*

God Tier:  Classic, X

High Tier:  Legends

Middle Tier:  ZX

What the ##### am I playing Tier:  Battle Network, Zero, Star Force

Wasn't even announced yet. 

Let's not get ahead of ourselves now.

Yeah but there may be people who want to avoid spoilers.

#####.  Can't wait for the special stages.  They look great. 

Also [spoiler]Enker, Punk, and Ballade return.  Awesome[/spoiler]

Well Protoman would lose the charge shot in exchange.

Nice.

If Megaman gets his charged shot back, they would need to change Protoman.  Make it so his shield can deflect attacks while standing still.  Also take away the double damage.

Charge shot breaks the game.  Slide is great.  Look at Mega Man 3.  The game played great.  It gives Mega Man a nice boost and adds some variety to level design.

I'd honestly rather nix all the extra playables.  It really just waters the game down.  Mega Man is more than enough.  Making every damn person playable is just going in the wrong direction.  Not a big fan of Duo either.  He can stay away forever as far as I'm concerned.

Wily not as final boss?  I could go for that if they do it right, but I'd rather they just focus on Mega Man trying to stop another crazy fellow and just leave Wily out all together if they do that, because Wily doesn't play second fiddle to ANYONE (Yes, Mega Man 5 GB sucked #####).

Except for Sigma in the  X series right?

*Is throughly beaten with tomatoe stick*

Slide is understandable, but the charge shot is really unnecessary.  It would make the game way too easy and render all the other weapons obsolete. 

---

As far as Duo goes, I like him, but he's really a one-shot character.  Duo filled his roll in MM8.  He's not really needed anymore.  And Roll would be fine for DLC I guess. 

Word.

*Bans Snare*  ;p

Well in MM9 the only good Wily themes are Flash in the Dark and We're the Robots.  In MM10 the first stage, Wily Machine are good.  So I guess it's kinda even. 

I want a Complete Works Version of the songs.  ##### would be so cash.

Ok ok ok. How about this.  A new threat attacks the Planet.  It turns out this new threat is....Mega Man!  That's right, the blue bomber we know and love has turned evil and is trying to take over the world.    Now you know and I know that the REAL Mega Man has nothing to do with this.  However, the world leaders act and create robots in order to destroy Mega Man.  Mega Man must now clear his name and destroy these robots.  Then, this imposter Mega Man shows up and tries to trick everyone into thinking the real Mega Man is the fake Mega Man.  Mega Man goes into the fake one's fortress and battles him there.  Then its revealed that Wily created this imposter Mega Man.  So then you go into Wily's fortress and defeat him again. 

Mega Man, Bass, Proto Man are playable from the start.

Wily as President though seems plausable. 

Or what if the next game.  A robot becomes president.  He considers Mega Man a threat to the state.  Mega Man has to go clear his name.  Then we learn that the robot is actually built by Wily. 

Got 100% S-Rank.  Feels Good Man.

No love for Quint eh?  Then again Quint isn't a Mega Man Killer.

BAM!  Got Those 4!  The only mode 2 challenges I'm missing are Headbaning and Mr.Perfect.  Since you can get them on Easy Mode, it's just a matter of playing the stage and saving.  Since you can also save your progress at Wily Fortress. 

Plus with all the HARD boss battle challenges completed, doing the rest should be cakewalk.

I'll use Easy mode for Mr.Perfect and Headbanging challenges.  Right now I'm going for Tenacious, Invincable, No Coffee Break, and Blue Bomber.  I beat 8 robot masters at 00:30:30.  29 and a half minutes should be more than enough to make it through the Wily stages right?

Every stage's music fits its stage.  They were going with ambience this time and it works.

I heard what they did there.

And I completed all of the Boss Challenges on Hard. 

Honestly, the Wily bosses are much easier than the Robot masters as they all don't really change attack patterns.  Not only that, but they all have sure-fire tatics to use so you never get hit.  Especially Wily Machine.

##### YEAR!  I JUST BEAT SOLAR MAN'S CHALLENGE ON HARD!  HOLY HELL was it hard.  I got lucky and He didn't do his raining solar blaze attack until he was low health.  It was all I needed to score free hits and finish him without taking damage.  Now I need to complete the rest of hard mode so I can unlock Crab Puncher H, Block Devil H, Wily Machine H, and Wily Capsule H.

PS3 HAS NO GAEMS.  That's why it couldn't play Maverick Hunter X.

I guess.  But still.  It feels boring to play Easy Mode. 

I just completed the Weapon Archive Challenge on Hard.  It's surprisingly quite easy. 

The only boss challange to do on hard THAT I HAVE GOTTEN UP TO is Solar Man.  Holy balls how the ##### do you not get hit?

Jesus... Bass is easy mode on his own.  Imagine playing Bass on Easy mode...

And I wouldn't exactly call easy mode "an insult to Mega Man players".  There are people who can't beat a level even if it was just an empty hall with no enemies.  Easy mode lets them play the game.  So what?  It's not like they built the game IN easy mode and the normal (or hard) difficulty got nerfed because of it.  They just took the normal levels, and added (or subtracted) things so the talentless can enjoy the game.  I don't get the anger toward it all.

It's more of the fact that any form of challenge is gone.  Easy mode should be easier than normal, but still have some degree of challenge in the game.  It doesn't give new players any real chance to improve their skills since the mode practically holds your hand.  A better idea would have been to keep everything as it is, but have Mega Man take less damage from enemies.  Also maybe change the stage layouts a little (Narrow pits and slightly less spikes).  Not throw in hovering platforms and Yaschichis every 5 screens. 

I also did Easy Mode just to unlock challenges.  Wow.  Just wow.  It's an insult and a slap in the face to Mega Man players everywhere.  This isn't Easy Mode.  It's "##### it, here is everything go nuts" mode.

---

As far as Hard Mode goes.  I love it.  In mostly every level I'm down to 1 to 2 pixels of life and have to think really hard.  In Strike Man's stage, I was up to the boss door and the only thing standing in my way was one of those bin enemies that shoot footballs at you.  I couldn't exactly reach him without fear of getting hit causing me to go back to the midpoint.  So I went with Wheel Cutter.  I scaled the wall and hit him and killed it.  Felt great.  Then I got to the boss and died.  Of course I had multiple lives so I went back in and pelted him with Triple Blade.  But I love how the game makes you think. 

I'm up to the Wily stages in Hard Mode.  I'm somewhat dissapointed at the Weapons Archive Boss in Hard.  It pretty much has the same attacks and no change in patterns.

You know what would have been an epic idea?   If in hard mode Weapons Archive gets a massive upgrade and in each room you fight 4 of them.  Not only that but each thing can use attacks from every boss from each game.  Also in the middle would be a special eye that can change the layout of the room (For specific bosses)

Room 1: 

1:  Bomb Man, Guts Man, Cut Man, Elec Man, Ice Man, Fire Man, Time Man, Oil Man
2:  Air Man, Crash Man, Flash Man, Quick Man, Metal Man, Bubble Man*, Heat Man, Wood Man
3:  Top Man, Shadow Man, Spark Man, Magnet Man, Hard Man, Snake Man, Gemini Man, Needle Man
V:  Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto

Room 2:

4:  Toad Man, Bright Man, Pharoah Man, Ring Man, Dust Man, Skull Man, Dive Man*, Drill Man*
5:  Star Man*, Gravity Man*, Gyro Man, Stone Man, Crystal Man, Napalm Man, Charge Man, Wave Man
6:  Knight Man, Centaur Man, Wind Man, Flame Man, Blizzard Man, Plant Man, Tomahawk Man, Yamato Man
MM&B:  Pirate Man, Cold Man, Burner Man*, Magic Man, Dynamo Man, Ground Man*

Room 3:
7:  Cloud Man*, Junk Man*, Freeze Man*, Burst Man*, Slash Man, Turbo Man, Shade Man, Spring Man
8:  Grenade Man, Frost Man, Tengu Man*, Clown Man, Sword Man, Aqua Man, Search Man, Astro Man

Extra:  Enker, Quint, Punk, Ballade, Terra, Sunstar, Bass, King

Where have you been?

I'm doing challenges right now.  Mostly the boss battles on hard mode. 

For the bosses I was ABLE to get too, I pretty much got their attack patterns down to a science.  They can't even touch me.
