1. Inafune didn't actually create Mega Man.

2. If they were using Mega Man, Sakurai would consult the person that makes the games and designs the characters. Hell, the idea that the one person considered to be the father of Mega Man wouldn't even be aware that Mega Man was being used in any way in Brawl seems absurd. Yes, he's only one person in the Mega Man development process. But he just happens to be the one most well-known person involved, and the director of most games in the series, and the one person Sakurai would consult over matters involving Mega Man. Kojima was consulted when Sakurai made the level, the character, etc., so why wouldn't Inafune be?

He created megaman, maybe he needed developers and such for the creation of the GAME, but inafune created the CHARACTER, all the characters from the original megaman and some from the X were created by him...

"When I fist created rockman, I had rock and roll in mind" quote from inafne, he created megaman, while doing this he had rock and roll in his mind, hence ROCKman and his sister ROLL...

The Mega Man game existed. He didn't create the idea for the game, but he created all the characters and their personalities.

Actualy I think the other guy is right. Inafine said somewhere that Megaman was created before he came to Capcom.

They have decided that, for now, the Mega Man fighting game will not be made. This was announced at one of the Mega Man twentieth anniversary events.

EDIT: Waaaaaaaaaiiiiiit a minute. You were here for that.

No matter how you stack it, Inafune doesn't have to know in any way whether MM would make it in because he doesn't own him. Just Capcom.

The good news is that we know only have to wait 3 more weeks until we know wether Mega Man will be in Brawl or not.

I can't help it, but I think this podcast actually had it's good purposes. Just think about it. If it wasn't for the podcast, we would be like "Oh, we just knew he would be in the game. Awesome..." But now it would be more like: "OMG INAFUNE!!! YOU TRICKED US ALLLLLL!!!! Mega Man lawlz *dance*" Right? :chuckle:

Im sorry I forgot the exe megaman had an "Does more than just shoot" buster, megaman can use the powers he has obtained from previous bosses...

seriously by that logic link can just slash, pikahcu can only use electric attack and no melee, and sonic could only run...

Not quite sure...
Somewhere back you guys refer to Bass as an anti-hero...
Well...for MM and Bass...thats true...
But Bass is more a 3rd party, if you will, of evil...
Programmed to defeat MM and become the most powerful robot in the world...
Bass saw Wily as too weak to give orders to a supreme robot such as himself...
So Bass broke off from Wily and fought MM on his own...
Bass would often destroy Wily's henchmen to prove to Wily that a superior robot could not be made...
Bass probably ended up killing Wily and fighting Zero...

Nah, I think Bass' overconfidence caused him to fight Zero when Wily eventually finished him, and Zero wrecked his ****.

1. If Sakurai went to Capcom, someone would be needed to give input on MM, his stages, assist trophies, items, moves, trophies, stickers, music, etc.

2. If Inafune knew, he would have used wordplay, not lie.

How can you say that for certainty? What's the easiest immediate solution to get out of situations you don't want to be in? To lie.

cless unless you want more headache i suggest you just let it go. people want to read so mch into the podcast its rediculous. just let em belive it. they'll see when the game is released. but do as you will....

heres a hypothetical question guys since we pretty much have discussed everything;

would rather have mega man be in the game and suck really really badly no matter how good the player, or him not be in at all?

i would rather have him in and suck. i think its just a respect thing. imo mega plain out deserves to be in this game with other video game legends

R.M.B. were else?
But how well would the coil and Tornado Hold work in the air? After all, the TH only activates upon touching a surface, as does the RC, whereas the Thunder Claw would work perfectly as a tether recovery.
easy, rush coil appears under you andyou land on it while it floats(same goes for tornado hold), just like the spring for sonic. but now that I think of it I want his up B to be rush jet, making his up B more unique compared to everyone elses.
All tether recoveries are throws though or are at least not up b's (I'm not sure how the Rope Snake works). The Rush Jet and Coil would work fine. Sonic can make springs appear out of nowhere, why can't Mega Man? The Tornado Hold wouldn't work though. It doesn't make sense with the way the weapon works.

Also, I was just thinking how smart Wily and Light were. They made robots that no one could surpass even 200 years later.
rope snake is an A move(I think) cause we know all of his B moves(and his up B is a better version of ness's) and the way it would work (for megaman)is he fires it forward were it sits there for a period lifting him upwards(ala recovery effect).
ok. thanks for clearing that up.

BTW the iceman stage is hard. i got up to flying part i got to the first pillar but slipped up. lol
as long as you dont hold a direction when you land you will sit still instead of sliding.
Naw, the hardest platforming aspect is definitely the beginning of Gutsman's stage. Iceman's dissappearing platforms are cake.

But I guess I came from a Mario family, so none of it is a big deal.;)
the dissapearing platforms are easy, gotsmans moving platforms were also hard as anything!(like you said) I got throught it though when I stopped thinking so much about the timing ironicaly.
i am talking about the flying part. the platforms are easy. they did not take too long to figure out. i just watched them for a bit and figured out the patter. but in the flying part there is a tiny pillar. you have to time the jump to the second and he slips off if you don't jump. yeah... i will get back on it soon

EDIT - sonic 3 was the game i played when i was young. i could do the game with my eyes closed
sonic's games are some of the easiest I have ever played. no wonder!
hey error if vile gets in as AT which version of him do you think they'll use. the one from x-x3-or-x8, my choice is mk2 vile from x3
same here,(he must be in the goliath armor though! its too awsome to pass up). although I havnt played X8 so I dont know how he is set up in that game.
Mega Man was originally an Astro Boy video game; when the company Astro Boy belongs to dropped the deal, Capcom replaced all the sprites and created Mega Man. The rest, as they say, is history.
I still dont like the thought of megaman games originaly starting out as an astro boy game...
at least though megaman happened, other wise we wouldnt be talking typeing about this right now.

hate me if you want but the battle network megaman would have a unique good and easy to make move set.
And the original wouldnt? he has over 100 moves to choose from, was part of the nes era, and sakuria loves retro..

its win-win for classic...
I dont think he meant any harm for classic.
THANK YOU!

awsome.

I dont like to say it but hes right, lieing is a realy easy solution. I hope he was, but I am going to be ready for the worst here.

I agree, it'd be a shame not to have someone as influential as Mega Man in Brawl. And sorry I haven't been around in a while.

EDIT - @Stryks - the comic is teh win, lol

Astro Boy is awesome and the Tornado Hold has to land on something before it opens up, unless you just want it to open and float for a set period, which is not how the weapon worked in Mega Man 8 and Marvel vs Capcom.

I thought the Rope Snake might be his grab, but I dunno. I don't watch Lucas videos.

I'm really tired of people treating the podcast as irrelevant. It's not something minor - it's the creator of Mega Man indicating that Nintendo never came to Capcom about Mega Man in Brawl.

And the insinuation that Inafune would have lied instead of done some wordplay to avoid confirming or denying it is just silly. Developers just don't do that - I have not seen a Japanese developer flat-out lie to our ears before.

okay then, believe every word in the podcast then. just stop posting about it here, its been done to death.

as for rush coil for mm's up b, i would rather rush jet. r coil would be too close to sonics spring.

and wouldnt it be cool if when you did the rush jet in water like on delphino plaza, it was the rush marine! i think itd be a cool easter egg. of course it would still have the same effect as rush jet
