Megaman Series

[Erdrick Holmes]

I heard it quite a bit, I'm just saying from what I heard.

I mean alot of mediocre Megaman fans say stuff like "every game after X3 sucked".

That's because they did, genius.

When you've pumped out already 8 or so Megaman games, and then another 2 with a "new character" (read : Name edit and slight sprite change to Megaman), you're already running on empty, the current running sereii are just dead horse served on a bed of barrel bottom shavings, with the dust from a dry well.

They weren't helped by AWFUL voice acting either.

Anyway, I have no specific love for any of the sereii, just Rockman and Forte, because people seem to go on about how hard it is, yet I don't find it to be at all.

Classic Megaman is either way too esy or way too hard. With the X series, you could make it really easy by finding all the sub hearts, armor upgrades, sub-tanks and e-tanks or choosing not to and making X/Zero's life a living hell.

[Erdrick Holmes]

Megaman Zero 2 however was annoyingly hard... until you defeat the final "boss". The sucker was so easy I was laughing.

I heard that Capcom is starting work on Megaman 9 for the PS2. Lets hope it doesn't turn into a bombshell like X7 did. X7..... god that game sucked.

[Rengori]

Zero 2 was the easiest Zero game I've played! And Rockman and Forte is Megaman 9.

[Erdrick Holmes]

Well, yeah, that game did take place after 8 but the rumours state that a game titled "Rockman 9" is in development. I doubt it's true tho' but it'd be great to see how the MM series ended to lead up to the X series.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Rock Man & Forte is not Rock Man 9, nor was it intended to be.

WARNING!

WARNING!
The following section contains several spoilers. It is my theory on the cataclysm and when I say spoilers I mean the endings to two games are in there.

(SPOILER)Well, in the Power Fighters, after beating any story with Bass alone, Wily shows a "girly robot" to Bass. He even had a beam saber on his back. And King's first target was Dr. Light's lab, so when Dr Wily said he was building another King, he was refering to Zero who at the time was still under construction. The way I see it, Wily screwed up permanently by letting Zero out of his capsule too soon. I would imagine Zero went beserk and his first target was Wily, who soon would be killed by his own creation. Somehow though, Zero was eventually put to rest and sealed for thirty years to be awakened by Dr Cain.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Zero wasn't awakened by Dr. Cain. Sigma was the one who found him and subdued him after he'd already killed several reploids.

[Erdrick Holmes]

Yeah, if you played MMX4 it was blatently obvious that (SPOILER)Wily made Zero. So technically Wily created the first Reploid, not Light

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

"Reploid" refers to a robot based on X's design. X himself isn't a reploid, and since Wily apparently began work on Zero prior to Light's construction of X, neither is Zero.

Or, that's the way it used to be. It seems like after the first game, the term "reploid" gradually came to mean just any robot existing in 21XX.

[Rengori]

"Reploid" is a term used for a robot capable of human emotions and advanced thinking according to Capcom. They said so in the intro of X1. Way to go for making Megaman cry a river when Rush nearly died in Megaman 8.

[Erdrick Holmes]

Spoilers.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

For a game from twelve years ago.

[Rengori]

I think he was talking about the Megaman 8 part.
