The Mega Man in SSB Wii-U and 3DS Discussion Thread

[Starcutter]

ooh! add me as "Legend Man" please!

 

[Opossum]

All I know is that Opossum Man should give the Marsupial Mallet. I wonder which RM is weak against it?

On a serious note, as far as Mega Man's moveset, I wanted everyone's opinions on a weapon switch special. Many people suggest it, but what I'm asking is this: How exactly would you want it implemented?

Kinda like kirby's but copies the Up-special instead.

 

[Pazzo.]

I'm Koopa Man. I summon Koopa Troopas.

It's agreed now that the Gear Spinner beats the Koopa Summoner. No trouble now....

Er.. is Legendary Blaster your weapon?

Wow... this is getting really complex...

I've seen the idea of switching guns with his taunts. I kinda like that idea myself. Each taunt can change his B move(most likely the mega-buster) to other projectiles like the metal blade. That way, Megaman can still use all four B attacks for various attacks, instead of wasting one on a switching move.

So with five weeks left until a possible Mega Man unveil, are any of you fellow Mega Man fans replaying through any Mega Man games to build anticipation for a possible confirmation?

New article today, posting finds on the Miiverse as promised:

I almost forgot Europe had a Mega Man community as well, and made sure to check it too. Unfortunately, it did not seem to have hardly any Mega Man/Smash Bros related drawings. Still, it had more than Japan! While America's Miiverse had quite a few, I would like to see more on all 3 as soon as possible (before additional Mega Man titles are released!)

I really, really hope there will be an early Smash Bros Miiverse community, as that would be an even more appropriate place to show support!

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Hmm why don't we make some Megaman for Smash 4 stuff on the European Miverse ourselves and see if that stokes the embers?

 

[volbound1700]

To be correct, you could rename me to Volunteer Man since Vol or Vols is short for Volunteer.

Ironically enough, despite me only really supporting Mega Man's inclusion, I find Capcom's cast more interesting than that of Namco's.

People, stop worrying about Capcom skipping over Mega Man due to some sort of imaginary spite going on. The staff at Capcom are all cool with the idea of Mega Man in Super Smash Bros., though at the same time they are not going to push the inclusion. Regardless of what happens, Sakurai is the one that will always get the last word.

We know that Capcom of America are fine with Mega Man's inclusion and I do believe that Capcom of Japan will have no qualms with Mega Man as well, but did COJ ever confirmed that they would be? Like I said, there's no reason not to believe that they won't, but it's good to have some proof.

Well, in most places I tend to visit, its been toned down a lot. But some people play the "Capcom hates Megaman" card from time to time.

Not sure where you and Opossum go, but from my experience on GameFAQs, most people are pessimistic about Mega Man's appearance in the next Smash and are under the false assumption that Capcom wants to kill Mega Man and as such, won't allow Mega Man in a Smash game.

The best part is, if Megs is in, we'll finally have an official 3D model of Megaman and perhaps others to use in Gmods Source Filmakers and all those things.

This. I have been awaiting an official 3-D model for so long. If Mega Man gets in, my avatar will change to that of Mega Man's 3-D model (as long as it doesn't suck which it shouldn't).

If anyone wants, here's a Mega Man signature icon made by yours truly:

Thanks. Will be adding that to the OP.

Actually, I found an even easier and better way to fix that.

The [ collapse ] tags MUST NOT have any sort of formatting or else they will glitch. See that rubber icon on the top left corner of the text editor? That returns any selected text to default formatting. Do that to ALL [ collapse ] tags and their respective ends [ / collapse ] and the collapse boxes will be normal.

Seriously, this is awesome and is a life saver. Now I finally don't have to worry about multiple collapse tags as well. I also appreciate FalKoopa for helping out as well.

I just noticed that you listed me as "Gears Man".

That's awesome.....

One of my favorite part of the OP is giving supporters Robot Master names. Helps make the thread stick out from the rest in a great way.

And Dude Man...um...

I dunno. Can use his Dude...


I can't think of a weapon!

I'll assign you one... Dude Guitar.

On a serious note, as far as Mega Man's moveset, I wanted everyone's opinions on a weapon switch special. Many people suggest it, but what I'm asking is this: How exactly would you want it implemented?

Would prefer if Mega Man just had his weapons built into his move sets, but if we went with this, it should be built into the taunt button. However, I'm not sure how many would be implemented nor how we would figure out which weapon to choose, which is why I'm not for the weapon switch special.

Once I get a Wii-U and a Mega Man game on there, the first time I'm going to do is show support for Mega Man on the MiiVerse community.

 

[Pazzo.]

I had an idea, maybe every time you defeat a character, you get their Special move, a' la Robot Master defeat.

But what would happen if you defeated Kirby.......? Any comments on it?

Like stated before, this wouldn't work because Robot Masters are inorganic whereas most characters in Smash are organic.

 

[volbound1700]

You could get Kirby's Hammer, Cutter, Rock, etc move. I don't see Megaman getting other people's moves, I see him just having combos of moves that he obsorbed in past games. Kirby kind of has that with his abilities already but he still has the suck move as an added feature. To be honest, Kirby's copy move really isn't that great because most of the moves he absorbs suck anyways.

Exception being ROB and Samus' suit (could copy abilities from suit)

Good Point. Well, now people can stop complaining about him being a copy.....

By the way thanks for the update

 

[Knight Dude]

I still think that weapon switching with the taunt buttons would be a cool idea. That way you wouldn't waste a B-move on switching. And you wouldn't keep needing to press the same input to cycle through three or more weapons.

 

[FourStar]

but that would kind of degrade the game by making it too complicated for people to just simply fight instead getting other weapons

 

[Roberto zampari]

Which Megaman do you want?

Classic Series
X Seies
Zero Series
ZX Series
Legends Series
Battle Network Series
Starforce Series

I prefer the classic, and you?

 

[Guybrush20X6]

I think the consensus is Classic Megaman but I wouldn't mind seeing X.

 

[8-peacock-8]

Classic is the most likely and makes the most sense for Smash.

For me, only Classic.

 

[volbound1700]

I prefer Classic but wouldn't mind X as well. I haven't played any of the other Megaman titles outside of the classics and X.

 

[FourStar]

CLASSIC! :D

 

[Knight Dude]

Classic Megaman makes the most sense and probably has the most diverse movepool to draw from. Not to mention Classic Megaman being the most popular as well. Though I myself wouldn't mind if any of the other Megamen managed to playable either. But they simply aren't as likely that's all.

 

[8-peacock-8]

I would love either Legends or Star Force Mega Man.

I grew up playing Legends and loved the game and i adore Star Force and it's anime adaptation. (I love Classic also)

 

[Roberto zampari]

If Megaman will be Smash Bros 4, then other characters from the Megaman series will be appear:

Roll

Protoman

Bass

Could you imagine them all together? Fighting in that Smash Bros game?
This will be epic, don't think?

 

[8-peacock-8]

It would awesome but very, VERY unlikely.

 

[FalKoopa]

It would awesome but very, VERY unlikely.

Putting it simply, IMPOSSIBLE but AWESOME.

I want the one from either Classic, X or Battle Network. I also don't mind Legends.

As for multiple Mega Man reps, I'm not opposed to Proto Man as a second Mega Man rep (or Zero if the X incarnation makes it in), but like FalKoopa said, not happening.

 

[Frostwraith]

More than one Mega Man character is not gonna happen, much like what happened with MGS and Sonic.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I'd prefer classic Mega Man and Bass

Maybe even Rockman online Bass, which makes some changes

 

[Starcutter]

since there might be alternate costumes in ssb4, would you mind seeing bass, proto and roll as different outfits for classic megaman? maybe even X could be an outfit.

 

[Deleted member]

Would rather not to be honest. The only way alts would work is if they were alternate costumes of the same character.

Like for example, King K. Rool could work with alternate costumes as he has his Kaptain K. Rool and Baron K. Roolenstein outfits to work with. As for Mega Man, I'd rather see a Bad Box alternate costume than Proto Man serve as an alt to Mega Man (and by alternate I don't mean the one we saw in SFXT, not that I was insulted).

Also just wanted to link to this article. Should be a good read for all Mega Man fans.

 

[FourStar]

I'd prefer Protoman and Zero to be in the game IMO

 

[Robert of Normandy]

I'd prefer Protoman and Zero to be in the game IMO

That's your opinion, but it would be really dumb. Megaman is the main character, so he should get in before any other MM character.
