So Mega Man 10 in March got me thinking:

Mega Man 10... Monday March 2010

They could have made this a bigger deal by releasing it on October 10th of this year. 10/10/10. Awesome? Yep. But they didn't. Shucks.

Velguader Sigma isn't that hard, just rolling shield him to death.

Edit: To add to the conversation, I also bought MM9 when it came out, and the game pissed me off so much in places, especially against Wily and that stupid boss gimmick of making me bounce eggs back at him to damage him.

I'm not making the same mistake twice, so screw MM10, and give me another X game Capcom. Those games I kick rear end at.

Agreed. I've definitely gotten the hang of MMX1-3 over the years.

I might consider that fixed if I actually gave a poo poo about the Legends games. I'm still annoyed that Volnutt made it in Tatsunoko vs Capcom over X.

Yeah but Zero made it in so it's fine.

Also since we're bragging, when I was in high school I could beat MMX without taking a single hit outside the Vile fights where you're required to lose.

Psh, join the club.

What is the limited armor?

SHHHHH....is secret.

Basically just this transparent armor X and Zero get in the MegaMissions cards. Looks like this:

The green version of X is an evil variation from the MegaMissions card called RX for those wondering.

All the MegaMan 10 Robot Masters, revealed:
From left to right:

Pump Man,(lol) Strike Man, Chill Man, Solar Man

Sheep Man, Blade Man, Nitro Man, and Commando Man

Personally I like Solar Man and Nitro Man a lot. Solar Man kinda looks like he's wearing a sombrero and poncho.

Why the gently caress is Strike Man a baseball, when his level is a soccer stadium and a striker is a position in soccer?

I think the whole level is sports themed, not just soccer. Pretty sure I saw some football and baseball throwing robots in there.

I think the plan was with the Maverick Hunter X series was to re-tool the story so that it made some sense. I heard that they were going to put X2 and X3 as the same game.
Shame that never happened, I really liked the PSP games.

They were going to come out right after the first Maverick Hunter X, but since it sold poorly along with Powered Up, I think they're trying to rethink how they can make more remakes.(i.e. on a platform that will net more profit instead of PSP) Where did you hear X2 and X3 were going to be one game? That's pretty interesting, would that mean there'd be 16 Mavericks to fight?

As far as X9... they said X8 was the end of Sigma. My guess is they were setting up Axl as the next villain at the end of X8. Whether we even get an X9... who loving knows at this point. I kind of wish they'd just reboot the series with Inafune back at the helm.

Axl as the main villain? Ick. Although it would be nice to kill him off since he's done next to nothing for the series. Hey here's some kid reploid who has no past or memories wooooooooooo. Also, we're never going to bother explaining him!

I kinda wish (as much as I like X5 as a game) they had ended at X4 for a while, since all the X games after that are so...conclusive. Too conclusive to say...make an new SNES styled MegaMan X game. X5 has Eurasia crashing to the Earth and Zero dying (sort of) again. X6 has the Earth as a barren wasteland. That's not much fun. X7 introduces Axl. X8 kills off Sigma (gah) and makes copy-chips the center of attention for the series instead of something relevant like, you know, the only meaningful plot point of X and Zero built by Light and Wily thus they have to kill each other eventually, or adunno maybe Axl's origin or SOMETHING. I also feel like if they do a new 16 bit MegaMan X obviously X and Zero would be playable, but putting Axl into the mix almost thows off the old school-ness of it. Axl is so....new school.

" I don't really care, just having it done is good enough for me. Though they kept talking like they were gonna give away those drawings that kept saying "we can't hold on for these for too long or we'll want to keep them, these are for the fans!!"

With X2 and X3, I'm always kind of conflicted. X2 was a great game, but there's something it was missing that X1 had that I can't pin down.

Explosions. X1 had more explosions. And not the dumb blue ones for bosses either. Boss explosions were INTENSE in X1.

X1 is the better game for sure, but I actually like the boss designs better in X2 and X3. I'd LOVE to see them redrawn in the Maverick Hunter X artwork style. Ugh. Overdrive Ostrich in a modern art style. Drool worthy.

CloseFriend posted:

I think having access to Zero and his Saber and his style of play would have cast another new perspective on that game.

If they make more Maverick Hunter X's(remakes) I know they'll do it with X3 but I'd love to see it done with X2 too. But wait, doesn't Zero spend 90% of X2 getting rebuilt? How would you play as him? Simple. Instead of a whole scenario as Zero, have like 2 or 3 levels as Zero as flashback levels from X1 in between X's level progression throughout the game. It's like Zero's memory coming back while he's being rebuilt. Have a level of Zero on the broken highway from X1, and at the end you save X from Vile. Have a level where Zero find's Sigma's base in X1. And finally have Zero rushing in in X2 to destroy the copy black Zero in the final level before you fight Sigma as X.

CloseFriend posted:

I was pissed at X3 for making Toxic Seahorse's stage unbeatable without the dash upgrade, which if you're playing cold requires a shot in the dark in another stage to find.

Nope sorry, you just suck at videogames.

Capcom recently revealed two new sections to 10's promo artwork. It doesn't tell us a whole lot about the game, but if the spiky headed guy on the right is supposed to be Wily then I guess that bird on his shoulder might be Reggae.

Well, I've just finished playing Mega Man 1-6 (and 9&10) and I'm working on Rockman 7 8bit. Out of all of these games I think I like 9&10 the most with 5&6 as a pretty close second. Anyway, what I came here to ask is what are the good Mega Man hacks? I need some more old school 8-bit mega action.

Edit: Are the Rockman 3/5 endless hacks good?

I have not been able to get the Rockman 7 8bit to ever work on my laptop for the life of me. What is wrong with my lappy???

I find that interesting, since the general consensus among all my friends is that Megaman 5 was probably the worst of the NES games.

I will admit I have no love for the game; I played through it recently and just found it really drat boring. That and they hosed up the Rush Coil. How do you gently caress up the Rush Coil that bad?

6 was what I always believed to be the worst of the NES titles.

Pretty sure I made up a bunch of Maverick bosses like "Blazing Barracuda" and "Colobus Monkey Machete" back in the day. I also made up a MegaMan Y which looked about as bad as it sounds.(It was basically just MegaMan X with different armor) Hopefully I can uncover these soon, I know they're lying around somewhere.
