I dunno if i'm correct, but I recall a while back some timeline that was featured on one of the Japanese Rockman sites (i think it was for the RMZ Collection), and every X game was included EXCEPT for X7, X8, etc. which may or may not imply that those games could've been retconned?? I don't even know anymore.the Zero Collection website timeline. But it only covers events relevant tot he Zero series.
*Megaman 10- the factor which would make Light complete X with perfect virus countermeasures
I never thought about that. The events in MM 10 could lead to the creation of X?not to his creation- to the inclusion of perfect virus countermeasures when he was eventually built
Classic is a lighthearted series.
Yeah that's true. But I only remember the games after Mega Man 4 to be lighthearted. Mega Man 1, 2, 3 and 4 had a bit more of a serious tone to them as I remember it. wait-* Mega Man 7 for the SNES was also in the more serious league in terms of story. At the end of the game Mega Man was prepared to murder Wily cause he'd had enough.that was a localization rewrite. in the original he aims at wily, and wily says "you? shoot me? Im a Human!" to which Rock just goes "..."
that was a localization rewrite. in the original he aims at wily, and wily says "you? shoot me? Im a Human!" to which Rock just goes "..."
But it still looked as though Mega Man was considering breaking the first rule of robotics in order to permanently stop Wily. I'd have to wonder what was going through his mind at that moment.But the implications are far different. In the origjnal, he realizes Wily is right, and cant shoot him. in the localization, he says "I GONNA DO WHAT I SHOULD HAVE DONE YEARS AGO!"
"the completion of that one Repliroid"is going. They ultimately decide to let the lesser mavericks take care of X and see how it goes.

I also thought that Mega Man X was actually Mega Man 10. Until I read the story and wondered what happened to all the other numbered games in between. I think it's about time we got a game the fills in the century gap between the two series'. So far we have Mega Man 10 taking place in 20XX and Mega Man X starting off in 21XX. Not a whole lotta room left to fill...
That does make more sense since the original Mega Man is supposed to be a robot while Mega Man X is a reploid and can go beyond the realm of a robot if he so chooses. Buy the way, what is the true localization for X2? I'd be interested in reading it since the English one came off as not really adding anything to what should've been a progressing story.
Yeah I never got that whole prophecy thing either. however even if it's not accurate I'd still be interested. I'll just muddle my way through it and make the best assumptions about it as I can. This bit of info you've already shared is interesting to read. Did the rest of the X series come off this badly translated as well or did they spare the rod?
X and Zero can and are considered Reploids. Reploids are made from the same technology and have the same mental capabilities. the term itself is used to refer to robots made with humanlike mental capabilities. (view the intro narration to Zero 4) X and Zero CAN be excluded as Reploids, thus making Sigma the first Reploid, but otherwise they are usually counted as Reploids.
This one thing that makes X superior to his copies is why he is not a reploid.
either ignorance or convention. Outside of that, in reality, people also adopted the habit of referring to X and Zero as reploids for the same reasons.they are referred to as Reploids because they are no different than the definition of the term. a Robot with humanlike mental ability, made to be as human as possible.
As further evidence, Dr. Cain never refers to X in his limited dialogue as a reploid either. The thing that makes X and Zero special is the fact that in reality they are not reploids at all.What makes them special, is their origins and specialties.
(and Justice from Wily) worked on extensively (though with Wily it may have been accidental).
Reploid/Repliroid NEVER meant "Replicate Android" that has always been nothing more than a fan assumption. It has NEVER been stated to have such a meaning in game or in any of it's sources. It's sole meaning is to define a robot with advanced humanlike mental capabilities.
Repliroids...
Those are the robots
created long ago
to be as much like humans as possible...
Those Repliroids
given personalities
with their advanced technology
worked on humans' behalf
and walked together with humans.
They should have become
the best partners...
Reploids are not replicates of X. they are derrivatives. They are based on his design concept, as stated in Day of Sigma. that being, a robot with human like mental faculties.
Zero: [[to Roll]] What are you doing here? You're just a housekeeping Reploid... You should get home immediately before you malfunction. -- Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars
Roll, a robot of the past generation is considered to be a reploid by Zero. all humanlike Robots have fallen under the term. Including the likes of Roll and her kind. they certainly arent mechaniloids, right?
Even panthoens, "mentally degraded Reploid copuies of X" are considered, again- reploids.
his "worrying" is his greatest feature. Not compassion. He has the ability to worry on a level far deeper than ordinary reploids. This is due to the suffering circuit installed within him, which constantly makes him worry about matters both Reploid and Human. It makes him unbiased as to those matters. therefore he must constantly balance the worth of both, an impossible situation.
they are referred to as Reploids because they are no different than the definition of the term. a Robot with humanlike mental ability, made to be as human as possible.
What makes them special, is their origins and specialties.
X. Magnum Opus of Dr. Light. Has perfect Virus countermeasures, very powerful Weapon and Variable weapons system, and limitless potential; Abilities that grow as he fights, the ability to worry on a level far greater than any robot or reploid. the base the reploid race was based on.
Zero. Magnum opus of Dr. Wily, in his last ditch effort to prove his superiority. has imperfect virus countermeasures, but is unnafected by viruses. is a carrier and source of the Sigma Virus. has incredible combat skill and determination, the perfect soldier, does his mission because it is his job, despite personal feelings. has the Saber tactics system. Also grows as he fights. The catalyst for the creation of Cyber elves.
Axl is special as well. because he is special. Copy ability, immune to all viruses through his copy chip, unknown origins and mysterious scar. has intense hatred for mavericks that he cannot explain. prototype of the new generation.
Zero's change from berserk maverick to hunter was a matter of circumstance.
When Wily created Zero, he contained a flaw in his cognitive program that made him overly violent and unwilling to obey orders, so Wily sealed him away.
During his battle with Sigma, they were both infected by the virus emanating from Zero's capsule. Zero's armor was breached somewhere along the line, allowing the virus easy access to him. it is what caused his malfunction right as he was about to kill Sigma. Sigma punched his head, knocking him out. something there happened, and his personality was changed. he became calm and level headed.
It is theorized that the virus was created to pacify Zero. dampening his emotions in addition to boosting his power. this can be observed with the original Sigma/Zero fight, where Zero after being infected became normal. and upon being infected again with the Zero virus in X5's alternate scenario, became a cold hearted killing machine, no longer caring about the hunters or the maverick, devoted only to his mission of killing X.
That's a ridiculous argument, I'm sorry. You're saying that a plainly obvious Japanese contraction can't possibly have a connection to it's constituent parts because it wasn't implicitly stated as such?Alright. give me any source that states factually that that is the definition of the word.
And then there's this:http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Reploid (http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Reploid)Dont use the MMKB. its horribly inacurate and prone to fanon.
It all depends on how you perceive the term though. Strictly speaking X and Zero are not reploids unless you're using a different meaning. However, just as you can point out that the constituent parts of the contraction "reploid/repliroid" is never implicitly defined in the canon, neither are X and Zero ever stated implicitly to be considered reploids because they have similar traits. At best you could say that they are called/call themselves that out of simple convention. Dr. Light, X's own creator, never refered to him or Zero as reploids.Well thats what ive been saying all along. Im not arguing wether or not they ARE reploids. Only that they fall under the term's use. in the X series, Reploid is used to describe all humanlike robots with humanlike mental ability. Its up to the player to decide wether they think X and Zero should be counted as Reploids or not, and only for the sake of Sigma's status as First Reploid.
That's semantics.By that logic, I can say that Spaghetti is a replica of chinese Noodles because they are based on the same concept.
replica: any close or exact copy or reproduction.
derivative: not original; secondary.
Reploids are based on Dr. Cain's best effort to reproduce X's design as stated throughout the series, and, as a matter of fact, Dr. Cain specifically refers to X as "that robot" in the third scene of Day of Sigma.are reploids not robots? I understand your point though.
And how exactly is Zero supposed to know that Roll ISN'T a reploid? Is there some external marking or text that would alert him to that fact? And more importantly, Zero has no memory from before he was repaired and modified by Dr. Cain. All he knows is that the current form of androids are called reploids and likely also that they are based on X's design. And besides that, it never occurred to you that an android with free will and the ability to learn couldn't be mistaken about something?My point is that she is humanlike enough to fall under the usage of the word. Even if she is a robot of the past generation. It is the same way that the umbrella also can cover X and Zero.
Exactly, "reploid COPIES of X" and apparently they DON'T have to have human level intelligence and learning capability to be considered reploids either, so thanks for proving my point. That throws out the notion that a reploid is any android with human like mental characteristics being as Pantheons are barely more than mindless robots. And besides that, after a hundred years, the convention of calling all androids reploids regardless of the original definition of the work has most assuredly set in.mentally degraded doesnt mean stupid. They are not mechaniloids, they are considered reploids. Which measn they have average reploid intelligence. Keep in mind they were originally just guards, peacekeepers and police. jobs like that. Do note that they were originally planned to have the ability to speak, as per an unused pantheon mugshot. Guess they figured that would be hard to do when they have no mouths. or something.
The last time I check you couldn't worry about other peoples problems without feeling compassion for their plight. That is unless you had an invested interest in the individuals in question, and for X that would mean a personal invested interest in every intelligent being on Earth.Im just calling it as it is. the key word here is not compassion, but "worrying". Cain makes certain of that fact in Day of Sigma.
That has never been explicitly defined out of context. The fact of the matter is that they've never explaind the reasons why any particular character has refered to X or Zero as reploids. That leave the most likely reason to be that it's just the naming convention at the time.exactly. by the general nusage of the word, any humanlike robot or robot with advanced humanlike thought, falls under the umbrella of the term. This includes X, Zero, and robots of the past generation. And even robots like the Pantheons.
I don't know what video you were watching but the one I saw didn't show any change in Sigma's attitude until right after the moment when he breaks the crystal on Zero's forehead. That is where the original virus was concentrated. Zero was the carrier of the original virus and actually became UN-infected during that fight. And later on in X5 when Zero is infected again, it isn't by the same virus. In fact, IIRC Sigma manipulates Zero into getting infected with the Sigma virus in an attempt to recreate the original virus.
Factoid: I was a Heavy Rockman Fan before reprising my fandom of castlevania
Likewise... been an addict since mm2... but...castlevania came along? yeah, we can all relate lol
None of the Playstation Manuals from X4-X6 say any such thing. And all manuals from the localized versions should be taken with a grain of salt. Manuls from the SNES games, X1-3, should not be believed at all. Consider manuals inaccurate. The first 3 games had terribly localized manuals. especially X2.
Do a little research and you'll find that all reploids are Replica Androids (as stated in one of the Manuals in the PSX games)
Zero was the source of the Maverick virus,His capsule was, not himself. he was infected and became a carrier. read the timeline.
possibly from replicated technology of Evil cores in MM8 (Since the Evil Robot was purple, and the virus is usually purple)The Evil Energy has nothing to do with the virus besides inspiration. The Evil Energy does not cause robots to grow violent and riotous. Robotenza does. Wily got the IDEA for a virus with a body of energy from the Evil Energy, but nothing more. The Sigma Virus is a sub-species of Robotenza. Color should not be taken at face value. iof we go by color then, the Sigma virus is more of a purple-pink than pure purple.
Axl, however, Doesn't exist to me. along with X7 (X8 and Cm were pretty fun, but I went Zero route)Except despite your personal tastes, they do exist as far as the actual line of events goes.
His capsule was, not himself. he was infected and became a carrier. read the timeline.Explain how he was infected if he was a carrier. Can't have both.
Except despite your personal tastes, they do exist as far as the actual line of events goes.acutally no, Zero1-2 picks up from Zero's ending in X6 when he rests in a capsule, X7, X8, and CM belong to an alternate timeline based on X's ending in X6.

Its a theory since Zero originally had the Virus as a carrier, Zero was still more advanced than X in X1, and other factors in such. Granted of Wily's Robot making skills, it would be inpossible fo him to make Zero with his own resources, He Didn't with Bass.
By that logic, I can say that Spaghetti is a replica of chinese Noodles because they are based on the same concept.
or that lords of Shadow is a replica of God of war because they feature similar combat.
Explain how he was infected if he was a carrier. Can't have both.how so?
acutally no, Zero1-2 picks up from Zero's ending in X6 when he rests in a capsule, X7, X8, and CM belong to an alternate timeline based on X's ending in X6.Actually, no. There is nothing to say that is true. X6's Zero ending takes place at a further date in the X series.
besides, If Cain Discovered X and Soon later the Birth of Replicate androids,
and Speaking that very few docters could make robots in the original series, it would be safe to say that (at that time) Light was the only mind capable of making an Android with Free will, Soon after X was discovered, Reploids are made.not sure what your point is.
Its a theory since Zero originally had the Virus as a carrier, Zero was still more advanced than X in X1,not more advanced. more powerful maybe, but only because X was not utilizing his full potential and abilities
Granted of Wily's Robot making skills, it would be inpossible fo him to make Zero with his own resources, He Didn't with Bass.do not underestimate wily. he IS a genius. he is second only to light.
Geez guys! I could just sit here and read all this juicy stuff for hours on end and still be fascinated! But personally I've always thought that the word 'Reploid' meant 'Replicated Humanoid'. I never considered them to be a form of androids cause X and Zero always came off to me as something much, much more then a simple Replicated Android.if it were just "reploid" maybe. part of the reason people come up with that sometimes is because the japanese term is "repliroid"
X's DNA is not something so trivially copied.
His DNA along with Zero's, is unanalyzable. both X and Zero are unanalyzable. They are beyod the reach of 21XX science. Only Gate has ever come close to cracking Zero's DNA any time before the 50 year period of Zero's initial seal that yeilded Cyber Elves.
X is the prototype for all Reploids, much like Protoman is the prototype for robots of the last generation. Reploids do NOT have his DNA, otherwise Sigma wouldn't be so hellbent on getting it.
Reploids are based on his design concept, his overall type. They are not copies of X. they each have unique minds and bodies, and personalities, as well as individual DNA. The only "replicas" of X, are Copy X and Pantheons, they are the only ones ever directly referred to as replicas-
Mega Man is not a replica of Protoman. Splash Woman is not a replica of Protoman. Hard Man is not a replica of Protoman.
Reploids are to X what past generation robots are to Protoman and Rock.
also- consider this. The Big 4, are themselves made directly from X's DNA. They were made from the 4 fragments of X's soul when it was forced out and split into 5 upon sealing Dark Elf with his body. They are known as "X-Bioroids".
Even then they are still not replicas. Because they are not copies.
Copy X himself, was created with the same technology that created the big 4. only the remaining fragment of X's soul, (X himself) refused to return.
I didn't mean DNA literally. I meant only that when you attempt to copy a technology without having the original documentation it has a similar effect to how DNA is imperfectly copied through generations. I wasn't referring to X & Zero "DNA" as used in-game. Additionally, when Light and Wily made their robots they were not trying to replicate Rock or Blues. They didn't need to since they came up with the technology themselves. Dr. Cain was trying to replicate X's technology because he didn't understand it, but failed. Hence the term he originally coined, regardless of it's later use. Copy X and the pantheons are no different than any other reploids save that they were an attempt by a different scientist to do the same thing that Dr. Cain attempted with somewhat more success because of a greater understanding of robotic "DNA" I would presume. Besides, "DNA", souls, and the events of MMZX are irrelevant to the argument I'm making that in the strictest non colloquial sense, X and Zero are not reploids. And I have seen no evidence that directly contradicts the obvious meaning for the word "repliroid" given the culture it comes from to begin with.
Additionally, when Light and Wily made their robots they were not trying to replicate Rock or Blues. They didn't need to since they came up with the technology themselves.Except they are all still following in the same mold as Blues. Cossack and Wily did not come up with the technology, Light did. Light is the father of robotics who made Robots with the ability to think and feel. All others are following his designs, only they had access to them where as Cain had to obtain the technology from studying X.
The Legendary Blue Messiah" X
The legendary blue repliroid and ruler of Neo Arcadia who symbolizes "infinite potential" and a "purveyor of justice" for all.
Though he had done so for the sake of peace, he often worried over having to destroy his fellow repliroids during the long confrontations of the "Irregular Wars", a condition which went mostly unchanged even after Zero went to sleep following the Nightmare Incident.
In the closing period of the Irregular Wars (later referred to as the Elf Wars), X cooperated with Zero who had acquired a copy body, to capture the Dark Elf, and arranged to use his anti-virus countermeasure to seal her within his own body.
When he sealed the Dark Elf, the shock forced X's soul from his body and split it into 5 cyber elves.
Eventually, 4 of these souls were incorporated into the Shitennou of Neo Arcadia, while one continued to wander the earth.
DNA Program
Program that makes up the characteristics of a repliroid. Zero's Learning ability utilizes this, but Axl's ability to completely copy a repliroid is rare.
DNA Soul
A repliroid's operational [mobilization/movement] DNA program that has been pulled out. It appears that Berkana took the souls from the erased repliroids and inserted them for use in the bodies of Iregulars.
Erasure
The phenomenon where a repliroid's operation program disappears all the sudden. An erased repliroid loses all consciousness, reduced to being like so much scrap iron. During the Nightmare Incident, a phenomenon similar erasure happened to Isoc.
You DO know Megaman/protoman, and X/Zero are completely different characters right?
That bit about Titanium Z alloy is interesting because IIRC Bass is made of Bassnium which is itself a Titanium alloy. Seems that Dr. Wily is also an accomplished metallurgist since his two greatest designs seem created around the use of new alloys.
Wow, the implication is so strong that it's almost an irrefutable fact. *Raises Flame Shield*Lets not forget- Serges Japanese profile in the manual says he is a "super genius!" with "intellect comparable to the legendary mad scientist"
...Instead we get a Transvestite Juno who.... gives the new reploids free will like X.... BUT IS EVIL DUN DUN DUN!Lumine do=idnt give reploids free will, they already had that. New generation reploids are simply a different kind of maverick. Rather than being berserk or made mad by the virus and controlled by it- they are instead Sigma's equals and share his philosophy
could have brought Serges back for in depth character development but instead give Axl a playmate...
and we wonder WHY there is no x9?
I stopped playing Mega Man X games at X5, because they got terrible and the idea of a virus is pretty dumb.The Virus has been around since X1. Sigma states his consciousness survived his death. Wireframe Sigma In X2 was his virus form. The virus was being transmitted over the world from the central computer. In X3, Doppler actually REVEALED the fact in game to the characters, and you get chased by the Sigma virus after defeating Kaiser Sigma
to go from the animated scenes of X4 to that comic book stuff was very disappointing.I liked those too, but the still scenes are beautifully drawn too.
The whole thing was a shame (except for Dynamo's theme), because Mega Man X4 is the bomb. Like, one of the top best Mega Man games, ever! How can you go from something so awesome to a steady progression of lame games!?
I stopped playing Mega Man X games at X5, because they got terrible and the idea of a virus is pretty dumb. The whole story is stupid, and to go from the animated scenes of X4 to that comic book stuff was very disappointing.
That doesnt mean it was successful. its idea of "finality" is terrible.
X5 was good cuz it tried to wrap up the overall story.
X6 wasn't really necessary and felt rushed, they added all these different viruses for some reason (maverick, nightmare, sigma, zero, seriously wtf),maverick virus = Sigma virus. its simply that some older sources called it 'maverick Virus", and it has become an incorrect term to refer to the Sigma Virus.
Axl wasn't necessary, etc.
Maybe if the Zero series wasn't created and added all this new backstory it wouldn't be so muddled,Most of the backstory presented in the timeline was already there Zero series notwithstanding.
but now we're left wondering about the Elf Wars and X&Zero absolutely MUST defeat Omega with the Final Strike technique & send him to space only cuz preconceived canon dictates and if they try do something different it automatically contradicts some sourcebook, etc. Ya know?what? I seriously dont know what you mean here. yes, X and Zero defeated omega with a final Strike. so? And what contradictions are you talking about?
What I really want to know is how sigma survived to be in X4. He was exposed to the Sigma Anti-virus at the end of X3 and his "program faded". But in X4 you see him as if nothing like that ever happened and the story never mentions how he returned. Not even a cinematic throwback to the end of X3 to explain why.All because he was hit with an antivirus doesnt mean it was effective. His sigma virus form was defeated. So? there is still tons of virus for him to revive from.
what contradictions are you talking about?None specifically, but should a new team decide to continue the X series without doing their homework, then all hell will break loose. The possibilities for contradictions are endless, if they want to go a different route instead of following up on Zero-era canon.
While the Zero games do nothing to help the overall plot, to me they're by far the most consistently quality and awesome sub-series of Mega Man games.Is it cuz they don't have wall-shimmying? lol j/k
None specifically, but should a new team decide to continue the X series without doing their homework, then all hell will break loose. The possibilities for contradictions are endless, if they want to go a different route instead of following up on Zero-era canon.they shouldnt be making games without doing their homework then. thats just common sense. (not so common I know)
I have the best X & Zero figures ever made, FYI. No one else's comes close :DWhich ones?
Is it cuz they don't have wall-shimmying? lol j/k
but I agree, the Zero series is awesome, with it's gameplay & mature themes n stuff.
I wonder if anyone likes the ZX series and battlenet work series, and if the starforce series really is that disliked or anything and if any of you recommend at least trying it.
Which ones?I was lucky enough to snag a couple of those ultra-rare Harvest-WKS model kits, and have them professionally built/painted. they are extremely poseable & don't fall apart, contrary to other reviews i've seen (i think it's cuz i have the actual originals, most other people got the recasts from Tatsu-Hobby or some place):
The Zero games, at least to me, only got more awesome with each sequel. It's the incredibly fast-paced arcade-y goodness that I fucking loved in the SNES X games. The PS1 games feel very sluggish by comparison.I agree. Each game did get better, and I'm glad they didn't drag it out to Z5, Z6, etc. X4 also did an excellent job at the arcade-y goodness, tho.
You kind of have to look beyond the "super sentai" thing and see it as it's own thing. Its more like, the era of War machines like X and Zero is over, this time they lend their power to the "new" generation, to a boy who happens to share X's trait of bravery and the desire to protect others.
yeah, that's exactly what turns me off about it. I just don't like the direction they took plot-wise, and i guess it's kinda necessary when you consider certain events/canon but i just think they could've done it better.. oh well. the gameplay itself makes up for it i guess.Eh. Plot never bothered me for some reason. Its well written enough that it doesnt matter.
i like this track:
Rockman ZX - 22 - Misty Rain (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_hsK-5U80M#ws)
Eh. Plot never bothered me for some reason. Its well written enough that it doesnt matter.
My favorite (from the ZX's) is Soul ablaze from ZX Advent
RockMan ZX Advent Tunes - Soul Ablaze (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oJt-2nJQx8#)
The theme that plays in the following battle, Divine Hammer, is really just a letdown in comparison.
Eh. Plot never bothered me for some reason. Its well written enough that it doesnt matter.
well not really... but to each his own right ;)
and you're an asshole for sparking my interest in MM again x_x i buried that fandom a long time ago and it's slowly inching back. It's just burning even more now how Capcom keeps neglecting the series over n over. can you imagine ZX3, Legends 3, AND X9 all being released this year? it's just a travesty.. who knows if it's "just business," or them being spiteful to Inafune for quitting, or some other crazy ideas they're planning that doesn't include MM (his absence in UMvC3 is utter bullshit. Rocket Raccoon, but no MEGA MAN?!) And is MMX Online still on schedule? Do they plan to cancel that too?
Weil actually obtained Zero's body quite legally.
The Omega thing is only to fit the style. the REAL mystery is why Omega uses a Buster Shot when his body SHOULD by all rights have a Z-Buster. They even resprited his bustershot so he holds itthe gangsta waysideways. Why not sprite a buster cannon?

Now, what dont you like about X5+? Dont just mindlessly bash them without giving a reason.
One instance of going backwards is ditching the animated cutscenes, as mentioned before. That, by itself, is not a deal breaker, but I'm going to use it as an example of the greater problem. When I popped in X5 ages ago and saw those still frames, I was like, "WTF!?!? Why would you do that!? Unless... you just weren't trying as hard and not putting as much into the games!?!?"
The duck was stupid, near pointless, and didn't really need to be there. I don't think anyone was asking for it and it really didn't add much.It wasnt insanely useful, but it was certainly a welcome Idea. It should always have been there. Go play X8. the lack of a duck is sorely missed.
- The armor sucked.
- Having the option to play as X or Zero from stage to stage was a surprisingly bad idea. Or at least it wasn't handled well.Dont know what you are talking about. it should have ALWAYS been like that. X4's split game was terrible, because then it creates a timeline split. Plus the whole idea is they are partners. the best of partners. they SHOULD be fighting together. not one stays at base while the other goes out, which is what X4 implies.
- Out of all the Mavericks, I felt only a few of them were cool ideas and had fun stages,
- The music, while not bad, was disappointing. It just didn't live up to its legacy.really though, to each his own, but I wouldnt call the music Dull. I dont recall any soundtracks to be dull. In fact, the only one that was forgettable, was X8's.
- Dodging purple Sigma viruses? No thanks.plot related gameplay gimmick. if X became infected, he steaily lost health. if Zero became infected, he became invincible for the duration.
i want to play x6 just for this epic introduction

X6 is an odd beast. It's rushed localization left it with loads of bad grammar and some poorly translated text, (the reunion scene in particular gives off the impression that Zero repaired himself, and X is an idiot and believes him, whereas the Japanese was more along the lines of Zero comparing his being alive to X's being alive. "So are you X, So are you." )
But at the same time, it also left us with the japanese voice overs, and the awesome opening/ending music. Neither of which we would have otherwise. (even X collection got rid of the voice overs)
Maybe they were too lazy or perhaps spriting was too much of a problem, also I kinda of bring more bad news this was just posted a day ago http://www.gamepro.com/article/news/222218/mega-man-legends-3-is-dead-for-real-japan-devs-close-up-shop/ (http://www.gamepro.com/article/news/222218/mega-man-legends-3-is-dead-for-real-japan-devs-close-up-shop/) What was the #@$%ing point of the 100,000 strong!!!! just so this can happen what the ^@#$ is wrong with capcom at first I was optimistic now is there no freaking hope at all? this just can't happen what were they fighting FOR!? For this to happen what is going to happen to the series now is there really no chance at all >:(
Before you blow a gasket, the JAPANESE devroom was already set to close when they cancelled L3.
the NORTH AMERICAN one however will remain open indefinitely. 100,000 strong was about the North American Devroom.
You do know it costs money to make animated cutscenes right?
Are you fucking kidding me here? You MUST be off your rocker if you think an armor
X4's split game was terrible, because then it creates a timeline split. Plus the whole idea is they are partners. the best of partners. they SHOULD be fighting together. not one stays at base while the other goes out, which is what X4 implies.
really though, to each his own, but I wouldnt call the music Dull. I dont recall any soundtracks to be dull. In fact, the only one that was forgettable, was X8's.
No, I'm not fucking kidding you.then your just trolling. X4 armor was cool, but Falcon armor allows free flight. And X4's Nova Strike was next to useless. It took too long to charge for what it was, which was just a damaging dash attack with pretty short range. Only the Ultimate Amor has a useful Nova Strike. Falcon armor on the other hand, has a screen sweeping giga attack.
Hmm. Let's compare:Mattrex is one of my favorite X5 tracks too.
This may be a big shocker to you, but no one really cares about the timeline in Mega Man games. Maybe about .05% of the people really, really care about that. They care about good, well-thought out gameplay. The timeline can go to hell if it gets in the way of good, well-thought out gameplay.
You cant really compare a fast paced ride chaser stage to a slower paced volcano stage. Where the lava threat is even more pronounced than in X4.
And X5's ride chaser segment doesnt count. It only accounts for one small section at the start of the stage.
How do you feel about X6's music?

The American ZXA was fucking ruined by the awful voices. I would have rather had no voices at all than what they did. So unbelievably bad.
Hydroman is already used, I believe.
I think Night Man is one of the boss robots in Wily's Castle, though DuskMan would've been cool.
neither of those are used.
I think Crashman's name is supposed to be an onomatopoeia type name. like, the sound effect of his bombs exploding or something.
One of my favorite RM's is Burnerman. he's just cool.

Did Wily build Zero first or did Light build X first? We see a glimpse of Zero first in the classic series... and his design reflects his X2 look. So why did Wily seal him with his X1 look?

Zero's design didn't change until X3. He was destroyed in the first game and resurrected at the end of the second, But still looked the same. I believe Light built X sometime after Wily built Zero as it is near the end of his life when he sealed X inside of the capsule. I could be wrong though. X may have been built first, sealed up then Wily builds Zero afterwards. Who knows.It Changed in X2.

I think it's safe to say that Zero was in the design phase before X was.We dont know that. the same game that has Wily showing his Zero concept to Bass also has Light talking about robots needing to be able to make their own decisions regarding right and wrong when Wily manages to trap Rock in a moral paradox. (basically: My robots are evil, but you destroy them therefore you are no better) Needing his friends to remind him that what he does is right.
My D-Arts Zero came in the other day.(click to show/hide)
He's always been taller than X. Not by much, but by enough. About half a head or so, give or take.
X8 Zero was destroyed. they killed his imposing [presence by leveling his horns, (which looked stupid) and just making everything about him smaller. They also made him, X and Axl the same height, when Zero is taller than both of them.
My D-Arts Zero came in the other day.Those are some sugoi figures! How's the paint job? How about the joints & articulation? The arms & legs just seem a tad lil bit long tho.. maybe it's just me. X1 Armor X is supposed to be coming out soon, too. Just a matter of time before they release Zero Mk. II, like this one:
How would you feel if a game version of your country's Icon was suddenly hated by the company who he made Popular?
Threats, protests and lawsuits up the wazoo? :-X
I wouldnt say they hate Megaman, after all, weve been getting more Megaman merchandise as of late than ever before. Localizations of mangas, comic books, figure releases, etc.
it fels more like Capcom just doesnt know what to DO with the blue smurf when it comes to videogames anymore. Hes never evolved past 2D gameplay, and its starting to show it's age, no matter how many innovations or gimmicks they add. the retro revival also, seems to have been cut short. an 8 bit Megaman 11 would be nothing short of a terrible thing, especially since the center around Megaman 2, and ignore innovations made by later games.
if anything, they just never wanted to make Mega man Legends 3. Inafune kept pushing for it, and they finally caved, but then he left, and without him to push for development, the dev team could do nothing to keep them from canceling it with whatever ridiculous method they used to estimate projected sales. (Read: the Devroom numbers, which Capcom themselves explicitely said was not nessecary to join)

Didnt reqally think X4 was all that hard. I found the X5 battles more frustrating.

Mega Man Legends fans and rebels, you have Keiji Inafune's sword. The former Capcom Global Head of production has left words of encouragement for the Get Me off the Moon campaign, pledging support in reinstating Mega Man Legends 3. In other words, the man is officially on our side.

Cool beans. Not that Capcom's going to do anything differently; hell, they might cancel Rockman Online as well just to further spite Inafune.
Capcom announced there are doing stuff for Megaman's 25th!
Why is it that Capcom can royally fuck up and piss off countless megaman fans, but somehow manage to patch it up, or at least try to?
God, Konami CAPCOM is better than you, CAPCOM!
What the heck are they doing?as announced, Stuff. Literately.
as announced, Stuff. Literately.
Of course. Stuff.
They always announce stuff, don't they? At least it's Megaman stuff this time.
I hope it's a game, and not merchandise stuff or anything.
I hope it's not another Megaman 2 clone like 9 and 10
Yea me to.
I would love to see something similar to what Sonic Generations is doing.
Having a 2.5D game that uses the characters Mega Man and Mega Man X.
One would have classic gameplay like the first Mega Man game while the other will have gameplay similar to the newer ZX style games.
That would be EPIC IMO.
Like a.... Megaman Generations?
(PLEASE! DO WANT!)
How about an actual 3D game for a change. Megaman has to make the jump to 3D sucessfully some day, or forever remain no more than 8 bit rehashwarethey did, it was called Megaman Legends, all it ever needed was to improve on controls.
I personally think a successful Mega Man game would be like what we got with Merrick Hunter X for the PSP (2.5D gameplay.) I found it vastly more enjoyable then MMX7.

Though it was also on the PSP, which is why it failed, along with PU. (PU in particular though has its own fair share of issues)
I actually agree almost 100%, I like classic, but I Love X, X is so much better on every level.
Word. Better than Capcom could ever do.

Also, tell me you didnt just completely fangasm when X5's Black Devil turned into Wily Machine 6? I know I did!
same reason people never see Eggman building his massive fleets of ships and giant robots.

In Megaman 10 Dr. Wily's Castle has an ORBITAL PLATFORM!!
You'd be able to see that with the naked eye pretty much from anywhere on the hemisphere of the earth that it is located on. That's not even taking into account air traffic, satellites and Google Maps. How did they miss that? :P

No, I dont think that will work... I think you need to have a Korean something something I recall reading...
People mentioned that possibility before, but it was shot down by the fact that you needed some sort of Korean ID or something. I think.
Also, you are assuming that the game will have an English option at all.

Tell me that you didn't wish that the difference in design was a plot point instead of being handwaved as just an art shift. ;D
Thats badass.
It wasnt ENTIRELY an art shift though, mind you. I mean, do note that Omega uses a gun like Zero's, despite Zero's gun not being an original weapon of his, but picked up from a dead resistance fighter and equipped with the saber as it's magazine. Omega's gun, furthermore, is not the same as Zero's, and was actually completely re-sprited so that he holds itgangsta stylesideways.
Similarly he has plenty of unique animations and sprites. It seems more likely that either
A: Zero's body was upgraded during his sleep and the copy body was modeled after that, thus thats why Omega looks like that,
or
B: Weil modified the body to resemble Zero's more to screw with him.
There was always a theme of technological progression. X himself in Command Mission got a new look because the artist thought that since it was 22XX, that it was the Zero series time.
so while Art shift is a factor, it's hard to tell how much is art shift and how much is just progression of technology. Keep in mind, both X and Zero's technology was fully cracked some time before the Elf wars, during the 50 years that scientists studied Zero's body and mind.
BTW Vlad, where did you find that? It looks like it could be done by the Zero series artist himself. Is it?

You say it as if it was a bad thing to them.
Inticreates is made of ex-Capcom employees. Most of whom were involved with Megaman in capcom. I forget now with which games though. Either the NES Classic, or SNES X games (or possibly both, I dont remember really)
And to be honest? they are much better at story than capcom is. Capcom sucks at writing stories. Always has, always will. Ini however, LOVES writing stories. and they LOVE continuity even more. there is so much Zero series information out there from books Drama tracks and the games themselves that it's crazy! there is such a clear line as to what is what. we know almost everything there is to know about the time between the X and Zero series, without there being any games to explain it (much better than capcom with classic to X, eh?) in fact, they even go as far back as PRE X1 with their info! their timeline, released some time before Zero collection, chronicled a series of events from Zero's creation, to the Zero series. Any and all important events to the Zero series.
The Album's release date is some time 2012.
that was pretty neat. Then I saw the Mega Man 7 sprites.
Ewwwwwwww.
I'm surprised no one mentioned Megman's helmet animation being backwards. Starts with it on and then it teleports away.
Is the original Rockman & X one in the same? (was never confirmed or denied..)
Who was that Reploid that sealed away Zero in X6's ending?A scientist. As far as we know, hes not really any important character. Although it's possible he might be the same scientist who talks to X during Zero's second sealing in the Telos Drama Track "Elf Wars Retrospect"
What was that thing that Lumine attached to Axls helmet crystal that shines briefly in X8's ending?Your guess is as good as ours.
What are the four remaining "Shining Weapons," and who used them?Well, it's never been stated. Though there are 4 particular characters who could fit the bill.
What happened to Wily's presence in the X series after X6?It was dropped like a rock.
What is Master Thomas plan for the world in ZX Advent's epilogue?To reset the world. Though im not entirely sure about what he meant by his speech on bodies and such.
Is the original Rockman & X one in the same? (was never confirmed or denied..)
Why does Protoman have a "fatal defect" in his system at the end of MegaMan 2: The Power Fighters?His energy system is defective.
What exactly happened to Bass & Duo leading up to 21XX?Duo? he went back to space. Bass and co. though? Noone knows. but Zero certainly had nothing to do with it.
Who created Zero's copy body after his original was sealed inside Omega's?Good question.
Where the hell in the universe did Ra Moon come from?Earth I think... It's an ancient supercomputer. If It came from space though, Do you really expect anyone to know that?
Where the hell in the universe do Duo & the Evil Robot he battles come from?Really far away in the universe.
When will Trigger finally get off the moon??Ask Capcom.
and he expires sometime in 20XXThere is nothing to suggest he ever expires.
official source materiel.Pretty sure Inafune mentioned it some time... Ill get you a source later.
is there a specific designation for Duo before he was rebuilt by Dr. Light?Im pretty sure his name was always Duo. That's what he refers to himself as.
aren't the Star Droids (MMMGB5) from an extraterrestrial source too?I believe so. From an Ancient Alien civilization. He found them while excavating some ruins and reprogrammed them to serve him.
There is nothing to suggest he ever expires.
Axl's guns might be one of the legendary weapons, but I'd like to think the other weapons were wielded by Reploids other than the Command Mission characters (which were pretty forgettable anyway IMO). I'd like to think they were unique Reploids that could've fought in the Elf Wars.Forgettable? Your opinion maybe. I loved them. And lets not forget during the events of Command Mission, they are technically Maverick Hunter Deputies. And of considerable power as well, considering they were able to take down the rebellion, AND storm Eastern Hunter HQ to confront Redips.
I know Master Thomas wants to reset the world, but what's exactly wrong with it? It's all just typical cliche villain talk, I know.pretty much. Albert wanted to reset the world and remake it with himself as God, And Thomas pretty much seems to want something similar, but not the way Albert wanted to do it. IDK.
(I love how they say Harpuia, Fafnir, & Leviathan supposedly died in Omega Zero's explosion scene at the end of Z3, but when that official image of them alive & well, looking up at Ragnarok's destruction in the sky alongside cyber-Phantom & cyber-X they then decide to say 'umm well that was just for fun.' gimme a break)
which I pretty much sum it up as Capcom saying "we'll let the player decide for themselves."That's pretty much always been a part of Inafune's philosophy with Megaman. Especially pertaining to Serges and Isoc being Wily.
I know it's been hinted at in interviews that Rock & X are separate, but if I recall it still was never 100% officially confirmed in any game, despite Keiji's opinions (which he left pretty vague if I recall, but I dont remember him outright saying 'they are 2 different robots, debate over guys').
Makes more sense that as Light aged, he wanted Rock to withstand the future but knew his current technology & limited mind wouldn't last, so he slowly but surely "transformed" him into X. And until we see a game or artwork that shows Megaman in Light's lab while a half-completed X is on a stretcher in the background with wires attached to his circuits, this is what I'll continue to go by. Just my thoughts.Maverick Hunter X Shows Light building X. We see a half completed torso of X at one point, and Light converses with him, over how he is a new type of robot who can think for himself, how people are not ready for him, yadda yadda.
I believe so. From an Ancient Alien civilization. He found them while excavating some ruins and reprogrammed them to serve him.
Plus it is not in Light's character to just delete Rock's brain and rebuild him as a new robot.
Remember he views his creations, Rock and Roll especially, as his children. That would mean murdering his child.
It's good that you brought up Maverick Hunter X, since there are some issues with that game as well. Are we to assume that it retcons [or was intended to retcon] the original MMX? For instance, it heavily implies that Cain is killed in the missile strike Sigma made against the city. Yet Cain is clearly still active in X3 (and briefly mentioned in Japanese X4 i think, not 100% sure). Had they continued with this Maverick Hunter "reboot," I doubt Cain would've been involved in any way, much less a "background character" or anything.The flashovers are much larger than the actual craters left by the missiles. It is entirely possible that it was meant to be a cliffhanger. Yknow, to be edgy. Besides, Wily has survived worse.
There's no reason for him to delete his mind, as like you say, it's not in his character. He's been sleeping for a century, hibernation sickness gets the best of him, he forgets his life as Rockman (just like Zero when he awakes in MMZ, doesn't remember a damn thing from his Maverick Hunter days, throughout the series).Again, refer to X's conversations with Light during his construction. Light calls him X, and X asks if that is his name. To which Light says it is, and explains it's meaning. he also does not know who Light is upon his initial activation. To which Light explains that he is Dr. Light, and he created him.
I guess we're picking & choosing what to follow, since there are contradictions in the story with Cain's death, when exactly Sigma's true motives kicked in, etc.Cain's death is the only real point of debate. And for understandable reasons. Sigma's plans definitely were already in effect by the beginning of Day of Sigma. After all, he was the one making the construction Mechaniloids go berserk. Some time before Day of Sigma is when he decided he would rebel.
Sigma tells him that the "old man" he's in league with has passionate hatred for X, and knows him very well. This implies that either X/Rock are the same & Wily was always aware of this, or Wily just simply THINKS that X is his original nemesis, unaware that they are separate entities.
Is it up to the player to decide, once again? It's a shame that these sourcebooks & obscure Japanese interviews are easily overlooked by the casual MM fan, since they seemingly contain all the forbidden knowledge of our beloved characters and certain plot points (X's "Suffering Circuit," for instance. no one would have a clue wtf you're talking about if you were to bring up the idea of such a thing in the years before, you guessed it, a sourcebook revealed it!)Good thing Udon has gotten all up in the business of Translating Mega man stuff. Who knows, someday we may get those.
At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter if he is or he isn't. The "spirit" of MegaMan remained present, even thousands of years later.He is definitely the spiritual successor. "Mega Man" is not a name, it is a title. A title inherited by those who fight for peace.
"Mega Man" is not a name, it is a title. A title inherited by those who fight for peace.Sadly, by the time ZX happened that title has been corrupted to simply meaning "one who holds the power of a Biometal", even if that power is abused for selfish means.

Daemon Gildas: "Is there any chance at a more traditional "costume" for Mega Man in Street Fighter X Tekken? What about using the "Mega Man" seen on the movie-posters in Dead Rising? Or maybe a look based on the Ruby-Spears cartoon? That way, we have the option of a less-creepy incarnation of the Blue Bomber, while still playing along with the slightly-cheesy nature."

Also, some of the complaints about this Mega Man are hilarious. "Exaggerated proportions"? Give me a fucking break. How about every fighting game character ever? Chun-li? Mai?

Speaking of, the Mega Man Battle Network games, for a series developed in 2001, had disturbingly accurate predictions of a lot of 21st century technology. In a time where 600MHz was a decent processor speed, 40GB was a decent hard drive size for a desktop, most data was stored inside your computer, most laptops didn't have built-in wifi, and even when they did, the internet's speed was hardly impressive, the series had all (Literally, all) computers in the world connected to each other via the internet(Internet becoming viable for regular people, and wireless outside the home), applications mainly being run by accessing them from the internet(Cloud computing), computers in literally everything, most of which can access the internet, giant, paper-thin TVs you can mount on the wall, handheld touch-screen devices that, despite being pocketable, could easily access the internet, check your email, receive phone-calls, get messages, run programs, and generally act like a miniature computer(Modern smartphones), and cyberterrorism actually being able to do more than inconvenience tech support for a few hours (Modern cyberterrorism). Hell, the later handheld devices even looked like Apple products.Okay, so we may not be controlling our own cyber avatars busting viruses right now, but that's beside the point.
I'll just quote TVTropes right here:Okay, so we may not be controlling our own cyber avatars busting viruses right now, but that's beside the point.

It's kind of sad that Capcom US seems to love Mega Man more than Capcom of Japan.
Why doesn't the creator of the Mega Man franchise pull up stakes in Japan, move to the US and make more of his beloved series there? If America loves it's mega man games so much I think it would be a good investment for him. He can continue to make the type of mega man games he and we love without Capcom of Japan breathing down his neck with what they think is good for the series.
they shouldve released these high quality figures back when the X series was still alive & kicking imo. better late than never tho
and i hope they create different characters; there's 3 X's (original, armored, and "manga version") 2 Zeros (original & mk2) and vile. what's next, ride armor vile or battle-damaged X/black-armored zero? why can't they make some mavericks, sigma, magma dragoon, etc.
i just wanna see some variety; tired of seeing "variants" of the same character all the time
There's 4 X's.
Unarmored,
Manga
Metallic
X1 Armor
and 3 Zero's
X1
X1 Manga ver.
Mk.ll
Wow, that's retarded. Good use of resources there.
Inafune also expressed that if someway somehow Capcom let him & his studio resume work on Legends 3, he'd be more than happy to. but that prolly won't happen.
It costs money to make games, so why not have someone else make it for you?
Wow. How did we end up in a world where Capcom becomes a grudge-holding dick, and Konami goes bat-shit insane in the span of a few years? :-X

IT BEGINS.

what's next, ride armor vile or battle-damaged X/black-armored zero?LOL i called it! :rollseyes:
...Yeah, I'll just wait for JKB's project (MMX: Corrupted, in case you don't remember) to be completed.
Jeez, what's next, X and Zero turning out to be low-tier might-as-well-be-joke characters in Project X Zone?
Is this a joke? Is it April in Japan or something?
Did they hire some middle-schooler to do these graphics?
WTF, Capcom? I know your execs are butt-sore over Inafune giving you the proverbial finger, but damn. This isn’t even sub-par. This is an insult. o.O
...Yeah, I'll just wait for JKB's project (MMX: Corrupted, in case you don't remember) to be completed.
You mean the Album in general? yeah it was neat.
personally I like the X1/X4 Capsule mix.

Any idea if Project X Zone will be localized to the U.S.?I want that too, but I'm almost sure that the answer is no. When they launched Namco X Capcom to PS2 they didnt localized it because of poor sales and its a great epic game. We are lucky that some fans translated that. But we can try do something like these guy from Rainfall did if necessary xD
Any idea if Project X Zone will be localized to the U.S.?
It's almost a guaranteed no. Same reason the other similar cross over games weren't localized. Licensing issues.Thats not a main reason, I would believe in that before, but since they launched Tatsunoko Vs Capcom I didnt believe in that. What they need is sell a good amount of copies, the reason that Namco x Capcom didnt reached here is because it didnt sell well.
Looks gnarly. And before anyone asks, no, it's not actually on the NES.

We may need tooThanks for sharing that, but since this guy doesnt created a petition or something like that, we will not be heard. For them we will be like random persons asking for random things. Since Capcom is involved in this project I know for sure that they will not hear separate fans, since they didnt even hear the 100,000+ united people asking for MML 3.
Edit: Guess there is already one.
Edit: Forget what I said, I overlooked it because its a Facebook link: http://www.facebook.com/100000StrongToLocalizeProjectXZone (http://www.facebook.com/100000StrongToLocalizeProjectXZone)
Facebook likes do absolutely NOTHING to sway Capcom. Remember the whole debacle with the Mega Man Legends FB page?
Well, they did give us a hint with X and Zero's X4 moveset, but I didn't expect this to actually take place at least mid-way through X4.
EDIT: And now TVTropes tells me that Vile's going to be in as well. Guess they're just throwing in whoever.

Key word concepts. the execution leaves a lot to be desired. the stages are bland and tame in level design, and in terms of art direction, also plain and uninspired. just good concepts. there isnt a lot going on in them. You can tell the majority of development went to the bosses.
Yeah, but I think that is really more the draw of the game. The bosses are far more intense than any of the past robot masters and I think that translated to a lesser degree to the enemies in the stages. They do tend to have much greater attributes than your average MM enemies.
One thing I'm surprised no one has mentioned is one small detail that has surprisingly annoyed me a little. YTH doesn't Rock use the Hadouken pose for his Hadouken weapon? X used it when he got the power after all.
So I've never been a big Mega Man fan, I respect the series as one that's always been well made with solid gameplay, good visuals and excellent music. Though the gameplay doesn't appeal to me personally, that's just me. I am curious about something though and would like for you guys/gals who are fans to tell me something -Does the lore appeal to you? If so, what is it about the Mega Man universe that makes you feel invested in and attached to it? Is it something that you got into when you were kid, or more recently?
I'm not saying the lore (or anything else in the series for that matter) is bad by any means, just that I've never "got" the appeal there and would enjoy hearing thoughts on it from fans of the series. Because in my experience most series I'm a big fan of, Castlevania, Sly Cooper, even Doom, I feel a certain fascination with and pull towards the world and characters it lets me explore.
But the finer details are what makes it so much fun! Stuff Like power sources and shit! Did you know most of the robots in Mega Man are solar powered, with the exception of Protoman, who is Nuclear Powered?
Once MegaMan X for SNES came out, that's when my love for the series reignited. The "lore" is what fascinated me, and for those that are clueless about the entire plot of MM here it is, with all the finer details left out:
Dr. Wily & Dr. Light, once colleagues, have a disagreement, causing them to become rivals.Actually, them being colleagues is an invention by the localization team. They went to the same university, but were never colleagues professionally. Light always got the fame and admiration and accolades, while Wily, who is, make no mistake- just as much of a genius, was always the "number 2", having to live in Light's shadow.
Many many robots would soon be created by both scientists, the first being "Protoman." Through a series of conflicts Wily and his Robot Masters are continuously defeated by Light's champion, ROCKMAN!
As time passes, both scientists' age catches up to them. After many failed attempts Wily convinces himself that he has finally created a robot that's the "strongest in the universe," one that will finally defeat MegaMan and Light, much to Bass' (his previous attempt at "1-upping MM")disbelief.
Capcom till this day will neither confirm nor deny that MegaMan and MegaMan X are the same robots (there's evidence for both cases that they are different, and are the same), instead rather leave it up to the fan's imagination to come to a conclusion.No, it has been confirmed before, (WAY back, mind you) that they are NOT the same. X is NOT Rock. They are two entirely different beings.
Just as a tidbit- Zero was sealed away mainly because when Wily activated him, he discovered that Zero's cognitive program contained a flaw that caused him to be not only excessively violent and destructive, but to be unwilling to obey orders. SO, Wily sealed him away. The reason he never went back to correct the flaw is unknown, though it is possible he simply never got the chance.
Light seals X away for "the world isn't ready," and Wily presumably does the same (we never actually see Zero's sealing)
"the ghost of Wily" (I presume it's via holographic projections from one of his many devices, same way Light communicates to X from beyond the grave)not quite. take it as you will, but when asked about it, Inafune stated that Wily was "brought back by the Virus".
and tells him that the Virus purifies Zero and he must be reunited with it, to fulfill his destiny of defeated MegaMan X and thus gaining ultimate victory over Dr. Light. Zero becomes momentarilly infected but his good will refuses, thus thwarting Wily's plan and X defeats Sigma. However, the Maverick Wars continue.Actually, Zero has always been infected. I assume you mean the fight between X and Zero, although the actual scenario as followed by the timeline, is of Zero NOT going Maverick. However, Zero has always been a carrier and spreader of the Virus himself. Him and Sigma were infected at the same time during their fight, from Zero's capsule, which had actually been the containment source for the Virus.
Dr. Weil steals Zero's body
the other scientist created a duplicate body for him to occupy.
The humans of earth have a trial for Dr. Weil and punish him by putting him in a cyborg body, so he will never die, and "eternal punishment." The year is now 22XX.Just to elaborate, they illegally punish him WITHOUT a trial. He was essentially attacked by a lynch mob of survivors of the war, who after giving him an immortal regenerative body, exile him into the wastelands his war created. By then, there is really only ONE last remaining bastion for Humanity, the rest of the earth is a wasteland. He is cast out into this, so as to experience eternal death. Always dying, but never being able to fully die and end his suffering.
Ciel, descendant of the original scientist that created the Mother Elf, awakens Zero to help her stop Copy-X, a deformed copy of the original X that has gone rogue.Again, just for clarity, when X sealed Dark Elf within his body, his soul was pushed out and split into 5, 4 of which were used to create Copy X's 4 guardians, (classified as "X-Bioroids") and Copy X, was initially intended to be a replacement body for X himself, but he refused to come back, and thus they instead turned the shell into a copy to replace him, so that the people would not despair that their savior (and then ruler) was no longer. His going rogue, was essentially caused by a naivete, lack of experience, and massive ego. Not to mention a massive chip on his shoulder. he decides that to solve the energy crisis and keep Humans happy, he will start to indiscriminately execute Reploids, since they are big energy users, thus creating an oppressive regime against them.
He builds a giant space station, named "Ragnarok," that would obliterate literally everything on the planet.just a note on the space station and all that, one of the main plot points of Zero 4, is that Nature has once again started to grow outside of Neo Arcadia, the previously mentioned "last remaining utopia". When the space colony from X5 crashed, it's environmental system survived and began to cultivate nature all around the area. So Weil, naturally, wants to destroy it so all must live under his reign.
Several hundred years pass,semantics, but 200 years, to be exact.
(humans trading their bodies for Reploid bodies, and vice-versa)to clarify, Humans gain robotic cyborg bodies, while Reploids gain lifespans.
Thousands of years later, a "blue boy" is discovered by Barrel & Roll Casket.Barrel is the one who discovers him. On one of his adventures in forbidden, (and un-enterable) ruins, he discovers a baby within a stasis field, accompanied by a robotic monkey (just roll with it) he raises the kid, along with his granddaughter Roll, after her parents disappear in an accident.
They go on various adventures to find energy,to clarify, this future world is mostly water, with small islands housing towns. the energy source is provided by crystals, which are obtained from ancient ruins and the like, thus establishing ruin hunting as a profitable business. (which Barrel used to do when he was young, and that which the boy he found, he has raised to do) f
To be continued when I get home...
No, it has been confirmed before, (WAY back, mind you) that they are NOT the same. X is NOT Rock. They are two entirely different beings.Why though? What's stopping Rock from being X, just "upgraded" to have free will? Is it simply because Inafune or [Capcom employee] says so in an article/interview? Or is there some plot element that forbids it, or is there a scene that shows Rock walking around while X is being built? I'm just curious, because I don't see how them being the same contradicts anything. Unless a sourcebook has a factoid I overlooked that proves they're 2 different beings (and we all know we can't argue what a sourcebook says, even if it contradicts/changes what a game may say in certain cases but lets not get into that)
i have discovered some incredible MegaMan Zero artwork :oi guess i should make due on my promise eh

Either way, I like the idea of Rock being X because in X5, when Sigma says "there's someone other than me.. who hates you.." seems to indicate that Wily believes X to be the original MegaMan. Why would he harbor such hatred for X if he isn't his original nemesis?Now that's silly. Let me ask you this: Why would he NOT hate X? X is still a Dr. Light creation. More specifically, he is Rock's successor, and Dr. Light is still the one who gets all the credit for his magnificent groundbreaking reploid.
Despite that X is and will always be seen as MegaMan's successorNo arguing that. Mega Man is not a "name" it is a title. X inherits that title from Rock.
it's hard for me to believe Light would suddenly shut down his "son" in favor of a "new, improved" version.It's even harder for me to believe he would strip Rock down to his bare bones, change his brain, and erase his memory of who he is and completely change his name. X is not named "Rock". he is named simply X. Rockman/Mega Man is merely his title. He is a Mega Man. the title of the champion who protects the weak. When X is no longer able to carry on the fight in the Zero series, Zero carries on, protecting those X believed in. it's not called "Mega Man" Zero for nothing. Zero is the unofficial inheritor of the title of "Mega Man" during his tenure in the Zero series, IMO.
If X & Rock aren't the same, then what happened to Rock?Who knows? We DO know ONE possibility however. In one of the games, One of the gameboy Mega Man games, Wily steals a time machine. He goes to the future, and finds that in that future, his future self had actually reformed and abandoned crime. He also discovers that as such, Mega Man had stopped being "Mega Man", and disarmed, returning to his civilian life as Rock. He convinces himself to join his past self, and together, they kidnap the defenseless Rock, reprogram him, and turn him into a Wily combat robot called "Quint", sending him back in time to kill Mega Man. Mega man defeats Quint, Quint dies So that is ONE possible future for Mega Man. Becoming Quint. Although it is unlikely, seeing as how knowledge of the future probably altered the timeline.
Why can they say they're not the same yet leave the question "So what happened to Rock?" unanswered (unless they did answer it & I'm just clueless)?No, it's never answered. However, we know Auto is still alive! In the PSX/Saturn/PC version of Mega Man X3, the boss intro cutscene for Volt Catfish has a brief cameo of Auto watching TV. So yet ANOTHER possibility is that Rock is now just a civilian robot once more.
Stuff like that baffles me, but it is Capcom we're talking about.Capcom has certainly never been known for it's excellent storytelling, sadly.
(look how small Zero is, lol!)Nice models! The WKS Zero in particular. too bad it's so small.
I keep reading that D-Arts Zero Mk II has "issues," I don't know if I should buy it or not
"Based upon the largely negative feedback from MM fans, I've requested that we place any Americas release on hold for the time being," said Svensson. "We will revisit at a later date."
Wait, you said 'same shit as X'? But why? I thought he had a virus,
Also Zero doesnt have a virus in his body since Sigma broken the crystal in his forehead with a punch and acidentally absorbed it. Zero still can absorb the virus though.
Goddamnit man! And what about X, you said he can't work anymore? Why? Is he dead?X sacrificed his body to power the seal on Yggdrasil, the compound dedicated solely to sealing away Dark Elf after the Elf Wars ended.
particularly how X broke down into no longer caring about his enemies.Play X7 and you will see, technically he already lose his determination there. Losing his body is a great opportunity to leave the battlefield forever without no one interfering.
There's also how he started to gain...ruthless tendencies, as evidenced by him telling Zero to "terminate that copy of [his] with extreme prejudice" (paraphrased from memory) in Zero 1.
By the way, what if the timeline between X and Zero went as Inafune planned, with Zero actually dying and somehow revived later, and X becoming the tyrant ruler of Neo Arcadia instead of a shoddy copy? What would have been the catalyst that changed X so radically on a fundamental level?

"terminate that copy of [his] with extreme prejudice"
Since you've disappeared I've been fighting this war alone against an uncountable number of Mavericks for nearly a hundred years... Battle after battle...so painful and so sad...but the hardest part was when I discovered that I no longer cared about the enemies I fought...Still, for him to feel hurt by it, I suppose it was somewhat of a breakdown to him. And I kinda feel that Zero's personality rubbing off on him was more of a coping mechanism.
Despair Event Horizon: It's implied that he got hit with this between his series and this series, specifically in the Elf Wars in which he fought most of it alone. The original concept was that he would lose all hope for human and reploid coexistence and begin the oppression and genocide of his descendant species, since they were incapable of living peacefully with humanity (this concept became Copy-X later). Fortunately he's still Genre Savvy enough to Take a Third Option and he chose to seal what caused the war, the Dark Elf. While most of his dialogue as a Cyber-Elf is fairly normal, there are a couple times when he implies his Ax Crazy/Blood Knight tendencies he's holding back, which is extremely jarring coming from a former Reluctant Warrior and poster android for Incorruptible Pure Pureness. The fact it could break The Messiah (a trope he fits, only without the Marty Stu aspects) shows how bad things really are.
Laws of robotics doesnt apply to Reploids since they are free to follow or ignore them. Thats why Dr. Light sealed X in a capsule to test him. Only because he is a good person at the time, it doesnt mean that he cant change his behaviour after.
The laws of robotics don't apply to any of the franchise robots that we know of. Theres nothing to suggest they do. They EXIST, but that doesnt mean robots were ever forced to follow them.
I have to disagree respectfully. A reploid is like a robot in that they are both machines. The rules of robotics apply just as much to a reploid as it would to a robot. A robot must not harm a human being. 1st rule. If a robot or reploid under any circumstance wilfully harms a human (not due to a malfunction) then they must be destroyed.
Yes, but reploids like X can harm people and be punished. While robots like Rock can't harm people without. Thats is more or less what Im trying to say, but only now I found a way to put it in more simple words. English not being my native language can be a pain sometimes. xD
Im not saying that you are wrong or something like that, Im only trying to say that models before the Reploids (Maybe Protoman is a exception, I cant guarantee) doesnt have total free-will to harm people, while Reploids have.
Like I said, the laws EXIST in some form. Light mentions them in X1's intro text.
However, again. There is nothing to suggest that Classic series Robots are incapable of breaking them just as Reploids are.
I have to disagree respectfully. A reploid is like a robot in that they are both machines. The rules of robotics apply just as much to a reploid as it would to a robot. A robot must not harm a human being. 1st rule. If a robot or reploid under any circumstance wilfully harms a human (not due to a malfunction) then they must be destroyed. Which is the case for the Mavericks and which is why maverick hunters exist. Issac Asimov was the one to write up the rules of robotics. But even then you can't ignore the possibility that these rules will come to pass when we actually create sentient robots. Like rules that we write for ourselves to help govern ourselves, so do we the same for robots, or in this case reploids.
srsly how many variants of D-Arts X are they gonna make? there's:Yes, and No.
Original
Metallic
Manga-Version
X1 Armor
now Ultimate Armor Version
this is ridiculous. why can't they make Vile Mk. II, or Magma Dragoon, or Alia? If the line continues i'm calling it now they're gonna release Zero Black Armor, MegaMan X2 Armor Variant, and X3 Armor Variant Gold Version. How about some accessories like the X1 Armor Capsule that was only made for promotional purposes, or some Ride Armors?
give some other characters a chance in the spotlight already, sheesh. Flame you have to agree with me on this >:(
And if I had the extra cash to shell out, i would totally buy the Manga versions of X and Zero, since im a fan of Iwamoto's X mangas. (really wish Udon would localize them!)
So I've never actually seen screens from the iOS MMX with the bosses, but after seeing this...I'm glad I never got it. Then again, I don't really have any one of them iGadgets, but whatever.(click to show/hide)
I have nothing to add to this other than (A.) As a 10 year old girl, I had the HUGEST crush on Zero & was mega jealous of that fly ponytail (B.) Flame, your Mega Man knowledge is...impressive to say the least.I hang around the fandom. Lots of info and scans and stuff tent to circulate.

The helmet/shades are to keep his identity secret. When Wily found protoman after he ran away from Light, he repaired him, replaced his generator, and made him a combat robot, giving him the Shades/scarf so Light wouldn't recognize him if he saw him. Protoman helped him out of gratitude, in 3, he occasionally fought Rock and then opened the way for him, and saved him from Wily's fortress at the end, in 4, he turned on Wily and rescued the hostage Kalinka, so mega man and Cossack would stop fighting.
Light knows who Protoman really is, Rock does not. At least that's the idea. mega Man 7 rewrote the entire script and made it seem like he knew already.

Super Smash Bros. 4 - E3 Official Trailer [HD] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUyoUfy5hGs#ws)Ah yes, THAT is the Mega Man we all know and love! Classic representation, design and themes. THAT is the Mega Man I want to see in a new game!!! Who knows, maybe Capcom's planning something for Wii U(would be cool)?
This made me almost want a Wii-U.

I freaking LOVE the arm cannon transformation animations! I'm actually excited to play this!
If you do that, you'll get confused if you have a 4-player (or Vs. 6 Endurance match) skirmish.
No one would be able to tell what is what.
-Default Blue on Blue
-Red on White (as if using Rush)
-Dark Red on Gray (mimicking ProtoMan)
-Black on Gray (mimicking Bass)
-??
-??
Which one is that? For which console?
Cool, so its that one with classic gameplay instead of RPG, I should try it sometime too.
I found this vid done by Game theory a little while back. Don't know if you saw this one Flame, but it's definitely interesting and paint's both Dr. Wily and Dr. Light in a different...light. It also goes back to that discussion we had near the start of this thread.Ive seen that. It bugs me though because it's wrong on so many levels.
