The Official "Megaman in SSBB" Topic!

[Stryks]

Wait Inafune can speak englsh, is this thing like true? cause when I saw this video in the MM anniversary collection, he needed a translator...
ah crap nvm I think theyre translating now... yeah...

OMG if this is true, and we get some crappy character (in comparison) like Sora, or IDK whatever im gonna shoot my eyes out...

 

[tirkaro]

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but I'm going to go ahead and say it. I was listening to the bionic commando podcast (you can find it here: http://bioniccommando.com/en) where they had Keiji Inafune on, where fans asked him questions. One of the questions asked was if Megaman would be in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Inafune said that he loves super smash bros., but claims that he hasn't been approached by Nintendo yet. This doesn't look good for Megaman, if what he said was true. I doubt Nintendo will add Megaman in last minute.

Although it is possible that Megaman is in Brawl and that Inafune was covering it up.

I've really given up on this stuff. Don't really bother with this. At first, I thought sonic wasn't going to be in brawl, because of the "not on the cards" quote, but look what happened there.

I'd say to take this with 1/20th of a grain of salt. Developers like to cover things up like this all the time.

1) Reggie said Sonic was "not in the cards".

2) Sakurai said Brawl would be released on Dec. 3rd.

It's obvious that we can't take these people seriously, including Inafune.

 

[Stryks]

^^Yes, I do...Ray Mk III is still 1st party regardless of his franchise sales...MORE PRIORITY than some
3rd party jackoff!! Ray being a playable in Smash could boost his popularity and make way for more successful Custom Robo titles.

Oh yea, Goomba isnt a main character isnt he? YEA, just wanted to point that out..

... 3rd party jackoff? im sorry but calling one of the gamings greatest icon is ********, Ray SHOULD be playable, but im going AGAINST ur 1st statement u ******:
ADDING A ROBOT IN BRAWL WILL NOT AFFECT ANOTHER ROBOTS CHANCES, its logic, ur stupid, get a long...

and they brought custom robo because people were interested with the trophies, and no that it has hit in america, it has become a meh series, so melee already DID boost popularity, but did not made succesful titles... do we really want nintendo to do it again?

I'd say to take this with 1/20th of a grain of salt. Developers like to cover things up like this all the time.

The "not in the cards" quote was a lot different. It was basically them saying that it wasn't what they wanted to talk about at the time. I never actually took that one seriously at all. Inafune says with complete clarity that he was not approached for Megaman in Brawl.

1) Reggie said Sonic was "not in the cards".

I don't believe it was Reggie that said that, and my earlier point remains.

2) Sakurai said Brawl would be released on Dec. 3rd.

That was true at the time. As Inafune saying that he has not been approached to put megaman is probably true at this moment unless hes lying to cover it up. It could change, Inafune even seems to believe that there is still time for him to be approached, but I really doubt it, its not time for another character to be added.

Anyhow, I'm not saying to completely give up hope on Megaman, but this does put a big damper on his possibilities. There is no way that you can say that this is not relevant. Before this I pretty much took it as a definite that Megaman would be in Brawl.

 

[error_alt_delete]

If Megaman makes it, what does that mean for Ray Mark III?

nothing, a third party character doesnt affect a first party characters chances unless they are both from the same game series.*points to geno and B. jr.)

Umm isnt:
X>Y and Y<X the same >.>...

seriously by ur logic kirby was killing metaknights and is killing jigglys chances, snake is killing falcons chances because theyre big human dudes...

its ******** to think that, Custom robo is a great series, and I bet we wil get Ray 01 in there, but seriously saying ray 01 kills megamans chancs and viceversa is stupid and ********...

U FAIL HAVE A NICE DAY

I personaly think we will get Ray01 in here as playable, I just got a gut feeling about him. and yes, his logic sucks.

Megaman doesn't hinder Ray's chances, though personally I don't think Ray will be anything more than an AT. If the "Sakurai's Poll" topic is accurate, he didn't get any more than a single mention. And characters with one or none mentions (Sonic and PT aside) usually end up as Assist Trophies. That's my take on it, anyway.

dont you remember sakurai's statement that "basing the characters solely on popularity would be drab."?(thats a rough description of what he said) so I wouldnt count him out just because of some polls.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but I'm going to go ahead and say it.

I think nintendo knows better than to sora over classic/X megaman. besides how many games for nintendo was sora on so far, 1? megaman(counting each series) has had, over 10 per individual series, making him have 30+ games for nintendo.(this is counting console games for things like BN)

 

[burrito]

isnt this kinda...old news?

The podcast was posted today. It couldn't be old news. Unless you have a very short term perception of old.

 

[bluebomber22]

@burrito- dont get too worried about that interview. Saying he hasnt been approached yet is pretty much the only thing inafune could have said to keep us guessing. had he said, "no comment" or something like that we would have known for sure that mm was in. Notice he said that he wasnt approached by nintendo yet, but that doesnt mean that he didnt approach nintendo.

it aintover till its over

 

[Zevox]

Hm, I think that the Yellow Devil from MM1 was the hardest boss in the classic series. I got goosebumps as I saw him reappear in Mega Man 3 and was like "Oh, ****! You again??? " Man, these games were great...Mega Man, please be in Brawl!

I'd actually say that the final form of Doctor Wiley from Mega Man 7 was the hardest. You just could not dodge his attacks, and they did so much damage. I recently tried beating him with a full inventory of 4 energy tanks and a super tank to restore hp, and still died just short of victory.

The cyclops/devils were up there too though, to be sure. All the dodging you have to do to just get off 1-2 shots on them... just ow.

And yeah, the whole Ray conversation is pretty pointless, considering the two characters are utterly unrelated. Their presences aren't mutually exclusive. We could get one of the two, both, or neither - its all up to Sakurai and the other developers.

Well, I've said, I don't believe that this destroys Megaman chances at all. Although, you have to consider that the podcast picked different questions from the viewers and that the podcast is run by Capcom. They could have just not have asked the question in the first place if they wanted to avoid it. If Inafune was lying, than the only possibility was that he wanted to tease us. If you listen to the podcast, he made it pretty clear that he didn't approach Nintendo, either, that would have been impolite, anyway.

Although there is one thing that stands out. When Inafune says that there is still a chance for Nintendo to approach him, he is either being delusional or purposely deceitful because it is impossible to add another character at this point in the process and he should know it. This might point towards Inafune teasing us.

Is Inafune the type of person to tease the fans like that?

 

[Aqua Rock X]

isnt this kinda...old news?

Not really. This is the first non vague comment Inafune has given us about Brawl.

Exactly. Reading this has re-assured me that Megaman is still in the race for Brawl.

But yeah guys, the "not on the cards at the moment" quote can't be used here as it meant "let's not talk about that right now". Besides, that was from guys who worked at Nintendo of Europe and Sega of America, guys who more than likely wouldn't know about Sonic in Brawl.

Edit: Burrito, while I can't provide examples at the moment, I do believe he is the type to tease.

 

[bluebomber22]

Well, I've said, I don't believe that this destroys Megaman chances at all. Although, you have to consider that the podcast picked different questions from the viewers and that the podcast is run by Capcom.

I know, I submitted the question of asking about MM in brawl. they might have picked mine lol.

EDIT: HOLY CRAP IT WAS MY QUESTION THEY ASKED HIM!!!! THEY SAID MY NAME ROFL!!!!

They could have just not have asked the question in the first place if they wanted to avoid it. If Inafune was lying, than the only possibility was that he wanted to tease us. If you listen to the podcast, he made it pretty clear that he didn't approach Nintendo, either, that would have been impolite, anyway.

well if they avoided the question completely, that wouldnt create any hype or interest now would it?

When Inafune says that there is still a chance for Nintendo to approach him, he is either being delusional or purposely deceitful because it is impossible to add another character at this point in the process and he should know it. This might point towards Inafune teasing us.

there is still time, its called a delay

Is Inafune the type of person to tease the fans like that?

quite simply, yes. and to me it does sound like he's being a little sarcastic

 

[burrito]

]well if they avoided the question completely, that wouldnt create any hype or interest now would it?

I believe that saying Megaman wont be in Brawl is the opposite of creating hype or interest. If Inafune did lie, I would say that the purpose was to divert interest and attention for Megaman in Brawl to create more surprise for when he is revealed.

there is still time, its called a delay

NO.

quite simply, yes

Uh-huh, well I guess he could have been. Still, he seemed kind of sincere in the way he said it.

 

[error_alt_delete]

The podcast was posted today. It couldn't be old news. Unless you have a very short term perception of old.

no, its just that I could have sworn I heard about something similar to that a while back, I think I am just getting it mixed up.

Im not into politics, but I sure as **** hope he is teasing us. cause so far alot of the characters I wanted in brawl are in the mid way zone, and I was hopeing at least one of them would make it!

Zevox

What type of attack do you use against MM7 Wily? Have you tried using Freeze Cracker? It helps me alot when ever I fight him. Of course, I still use 4 tanks and a Super tank of energy.

And another thought occured to me. I may grasping for straws here, but Inafune said Nintendo didn't approach him correct? Suppose Nintendo approached the higher-ups of Capcom, and they (Capcom) approached Inafune. Technically Inafune would be telling the truth AND dodging the question.

Besides, we KNOW Inafune is interested in Brawl and having MM in Brawl. We know Sakurai is interested in having Megaman for Brawl, so theoretically it should be near impossible for Megaman NOT to appear.

 

[bluebomber22]

I believe that saying Megaman wont be in Brawl is the opposite of creating hype or interest. If Inafune did lie, I would say that the purpose was to divert interest and attention for Megaman in Brawl to create more surprise for when he is revealed.

actually it did just that. when you heard it, you came here and posted about it. That is the hype. Any publicity is good publicity

NO.

I know no one wants another one, but hey it could easily happen

My point EXACTLY

I'm still hyped that they read my quesiton to inafune-san! i mean he's the CREATOR of MEGA MAN *dances in the streets*

 

[Dynamism]

Applauds Bluebomber22
That is pretty frikin cool

And yeah, MM has to be in Brawl! He was in like...lots of Nintendo games AND other fighters...and he's MEGAMAN!

I really think this is grasping for straws in the wrong place. Inafune either outright lied or he didn't.

We know Sakurai is interested in having Megaman for Brawl.

How do we know that?

actually it did just that. when you heard it, you came here and posted about it. That is the hype. Any publicity is good publicity

uhhhh.... well I sort of agree with you. Now that I think about it, my original point was that if Inafune was covering up Megaman in Brawl it was to generate hype not to dodge the question.

I know no one wants another one, but hey it could easily happen

I don't think so.

 

[Cless]

Sakurai is somewhat interested in Mega Man. He mentioned him twice in the his poll-ish thing that's not a poll.

 

[burrito]

Sakurai is somewhat interested in Mega Man. He mentioned him twice in the his poll-ish thing that's not a poll.

I don't believe that means he was interested in him. It just means he felt that he was worth mentioning for some reason.

 

[bluebomber22]

I don't believe that means he was interested in him. It just means he felt that he was worth mentioning for some reason.

well on his old site he did say that mega man was an interesting character.

im just glad to know that inafune knows about brawl, hey he even knows when it will be released! sounds suspicious to me...

and i liked to add another lil tidbit. inafune isnt dumb. he KNOWS that since there is only a couple months before release, it'd be almost impossible to add mega man. I think if mega man had no chance he'd be honest and say "NO, mega man isnt nor will he be in the game." he wouldnt say "well i havent been contacted yet, and theres only a few months left, i hope they contact me. "

hes smart, he knows about smash, he wants mm in the game, sakurai either wants him or wouldnt mind, nuff said. if nintendo didnt contact him, im sure he contacted them

 

[Naoshi]

I heard from somewhere that Inafune and Sakurai are friends. Is this true? =o

 

[bluebomber22]

I heard from somewhere that Inafune and Sakurai are friends. Is this true? =o

i've heard that before, but i have no proof. if i had to guess i would say yeah. inafune, kojima, sakurai, miyamoto are all big names in gaming if they dont know each other personally, they definately know OF each other at the least

 

[burrito]

well on his old site he did say that mega man was an interesting character.

Are you sure that he said that?

Yeah, I brought up that point before.

By the way, Inafune wouldn't have contacted him, it would have been impolite. Unless, they knew each other really well, like Kojima.

 

[bluebomber22]

Are you sure that he said that?

Yeah, I brought up that point before.

By the way, Inafune wouldn't have contacted him, it would have been impolite. Unless, they knew each other really well, like Kojima.

yeah im sure. parrothead translated it a long time ago.

and it might be considered impolite, but if he really wanted mm in he would ask

 

[error_alt_delete]

Yeah, I brought up that point before.

By the way, Inafune wouldn't have contacted him, it would have been impolite. Unless, they knew each other really well, like Kojima.

*points to konami(is that right?) and their begging* well...I guess that isnt polite either is it? but we do know that inufane can still aproch Sakurai about megaman in brawl.

 

[Smash Zohar]

I don´t think Keiji is covering up Rockman in Brawl, his answer is very sincere and without doubts. Don´t put your hopes very high.

 

[error_alt_delete]

I don´t think Keiji is covering up Rockman in Brawl, his answer is very sincere and without doubts. Do put your hopes very high.

do you mean "dont get your hopes up too high"? cause I do hope for megaman in brawl, I wouldnt be absolutely devistated if he isnt, I would be a little dissapointed , but that wont stop me from buying brawl. I still have many other characters to play as if megaman doesnt get in, and besides, there are plenty of megaman games to play!

 

[bluebomber22]

I don´t think Keiji is covering up Rockman in Brawl, his answer is very sincere and without doubts. Do put your hopes very high.

unless you know inafune personally, then you have no way of knowing that. we're not even hearing his answer directly, its being translated into english. and to top it off we cant even see his facial expressions

 

[Smash Zohar]

You can hear the first sentence in japanese before the translator begin to translate, maybe for non japanese speaking people don´t mean anything but for me it does. Anyway, belive what you want, is your choice, be realistic or belive in the conspiracy.

see, the thing is, he cant come out and just say yeah mega man is in because sakurai has to be the one to say it first.

so yeah he might of said nintendo hasnt contacted him yet just to not give it away. There is no conspiracy, they just have to keep the info under wraps. its actually rather simple

and he could sounded sincere but still been sarcastic. you still cant really tell unless you know him personally or can see his face

even if you know him personaly, he could be a master at lieing!


ya thats going too far but what BlueBomber22 is saying makes alot of sense, It could realy go either way with this statement(unlike the "up until now" comment on ness, but that is for another thread.)

 

[bluebomber22]

i really want mm to be confirmed soon. im SOOO tired of specualtion on him being a pc in the game. I've been waitin on this since i looked on gamefaqs and there was a fake code to get him in ssb64

if he is not in. I will seriously be devestated. *prays that doesnt happen*

I know what you mean, dude. You've poured your heart and soul into Mega Man support and keep those sometimes doubtful supporters (like myself's) hopes high. I really hope Sakurai comes through with Mega Man.

 

[IsmaR]

Spoiler

Just like we did in the Mog thread you *******..but it wasn't your fault I guess...

Megaman probably will be revealed like a week before JP's Brawl release, so other country's won't be as pissed.

 

[Del Money]

Spoiler

Just like we did in the Mog thread you *******..but it wasn't your fault I guess...

LOL. Come now, I got a little more sense than that...

Megaman probably will be revealed like a week before JP's Brawl release, so other country's won't be as pissed.

The thing is though that we'll still be getting update up until the AMERICAN release...so I've heard. Which means the Japanese site will probably still be getting updated after the game is out. And Sakurai already said he was well aware of how roster info will spread over the Internet like wildfire once it's officially out...so maybe he'll just wait and reveal Mega Man until after the Japanese release date. I dunno, just a guess...

 

[Aqua Rock X]

Perhaps we may seem like we're delusional, but we are aware of the possibility of Megaman not being Brawl. However, until that day he is truely deconfirmed, we will continue have very strong faith in the Blue Bomber's appearance, especially since Sonic was confirmed after all he and his fans went through.

Though, all Sonic had against him was a few rumors confirmed to be false. And he did get a mention from Sakurai himself in an interview claimimg he was the most requested character. The best Megaman got was "that would be nice" from Inafune. I am still hopeful, but if we get something else like this, I will seriously become worried.

If Megaman isn't in Brawl I will be devestated, that is for certain. 19-20 months of waiting, speculating, dreaming will have gone down the drain. However I might get over it after a day or week or so and just main Mario, Link, and Fox again.
