The Official "Megaman in SSBB" Topic!

[Starphoenix]

Hey guys, I am making a list refuting all of the common misconceptions and falsehoods about Megaman, I will be done with it sometime. Figured I would give you a heads up on my project.

Also, the one "prophet" I want to see eliminated is ChaoticImplosion, he says Ness is back, but gives him an incredibly vague and un-Earthboundish special moves. He also says Krystal, Bowser Jr., Megaman and Bomberman are not in, yet Wolf is?

 

[Pluvius]

I will point to the "he/she/it/potatoe" used often to describe shiek in the shiek thread.

Sounds like the thread is just full of morons to me. =/

 

[Cless]

Pluvius, the game you're thinking of with the sun gimmick is Boktai. Golden Sun is an RPG where you collected little creatures called djinn to use magic and psychic abilities.

 

[Pluvius]

Golden Sun didn't use the solar panel either? Regardless, generic boring claymation RPGs are not my thing either.

 

[hunter-x]

yo starphoenix im thinking your list might be the real deal, lets see about tomorrows update.

anyways i was just thinking about vile being a subspace emissary boss(goliath armor plz!!)and how insane of a boss fight that could be, hes a pretty complex character and a formidable boss moreso in x3.

 

[Pluvius]

Vava would only make sense if he were fighting X, & X's inclusion over Rockman would be a terrible offense to the series as a whole.

 

[bksbestbwoy]

but which mega man versoin is the wii game of?

Apparently, it's going to be a continuation of a series left hanging, so in order of importance and along that train of thought, the Wii Mega Man will probably be:

Rockman/Mega Man 9 -> DASH/Legends 3 -> X9

 

[Cless]

Vile is super broken in Maverick Hunter X. He'd be interesting to fight with or without his Ride Armor.

 

[Maverick Hunter X]

I agree -- though X is my favorite character of all time, the original Mega Man is the only version of the Blue Bomber that should be in Brawl. None of the others would make as much sense or have as much impact, even X.

And I think Dr. Wily would be a much cooler SSE boss than Vava... come on, Mega Man as a playable and Wily as a SSE villain? That would be classic and wonderful.

 

[Cless]

Why are you using the Japanese names? Vile would only be a boss if X was there, and it'd be Sigma over him anyway.

 

[Pluvius]

Why are you using the Japanese names?

Because the American ones blow goats. On top of that, CoA can't even be consistent in their usage. Vava was called Vava in Xtreme 1. There is a Japanese Vile, which causes further confusion.

 

[domriver]

Wait so Vava is Vile? Help please.

 

[Pluvius]

Japanese to English, Vava to Vile, Vile to Weil, respectively.

 

[AuraLancer]

I want to see this...Twilight Shiek.
And it's good to finally see several pages of some good non-podcast discussion.


Welcome back, Pluvius.

 

[Ryusuke]

Apparently, it's going to be a continuation of a series left hanging, so in order of importance and along that train of thought, the Wii Mega Man will probably be:

Rockman/Mega Man 9 -> DASH/Legends 3 -> X9

Wait! When did the confirmation of Wii Mega Man was confirmed? O_o;

 

[Pluvius]

Welcome back, Pluvius.

Glad to be back.

 

[bksbestbwoy]

Wait! When did the confirmation of Wii Mega Man was confirmed? O_o;

Once more, Protodude of the Rockman Synergy Commons brings us another collection of rumors from his various sources.

From Surfer Girl comes these rumours:
- Capcom has an 'epic' retooling of the Rockman series as a 'cinematic style' game, in order to bring back the series. The game is set for next-gen consoles. Surfer Girl hasn't heard much on this rumour lately, so she doesn't currently make much of it.
- Throughout 2008, Capcom have a bunch of announcements to make regarding Rockman's 20th Anniversary, of games and merchandise alike. Some of these announcements seem to be very important ones.
- Some more of the older Rockman games are intended for remakes, with the possible titles unknown.

Protodude also received some other rumours from another (although anonymous) source:
- The upcoming "Megaman Zero Official Complete Works" is scheduled for a February release. A member of the RPM Forums, Protoman Blues, has already had confirmation from an Udon representative regarding this, so it may actually be true!
- Upcoming sourcebook "Rockman and Rockman X Complete Works" may unveil the unknown events between the two respective series.
- Capcom USA is planning a 20th Anniversary soundtrack to be released in Spring (Autumn in the southern hemisphere ).
- The futures of the ZX and Ryuusei no Rockman series are under speculation, with the next ZX title under discussion by Capcom, and a third installment of Ryuusei has started development (first info to be released May/June)
- Capcom is seeking a producer and a director, for an unknown title.
- The upcoming Wii Rockman will continue on from an series left incomplete.

[KingGeorge]

well, i'm comfortably convinced, plus the prima list looks pretty good, not really anything there that'd be impossible. (kinda hope it's not real though, i don't like ruining suprises )

 

[bluebomber22]

you better hope that crap is real! lol

as long as it has mega man, im SATISFIED

 

[Pluvius]

The only rumor I believe from that news post is that Star Star 3 will be released, but that was as plain as day.

 

[bluebomber22]

nvrmnd

mega man 4 brawl lol

 

[Tony_]

you better hope that crap is real! lol

as long as it has mega man, im SATISFIED

Same with me and I think he meant that he didn't want the roster being spoiled for him.

 

[bluebomber22]

Same with me and I think he meant that he didn't want the roster being spoiled for him.

oh ok. i seriously dont who care who else gets in as long mm is in....

 

[KingGeorge]

oh ok. i seriously dont who care who else gets in as long mm is in....

if all you want is megaman, play megaman, how boring would brawl be if it was ONLY MM?

(Jks)

 

[bluebomber22]

if all you want is megaman, play megaman, how boring would brawl be if it was ONLY MM?

(Jks)

itd actually be one hell of an mm game! lol

you know what i mean. i dont about any other characters now really that diddy and sonic are confirmed and Little Mac is an AT...

 

[Aqua Rock X]

if all you want is megaman, play megaman, how boring would brawl be if it was ONLY MM?

(Jks)

If Brawl had only MM? Well, we might as well call that Mega Man 9. It wouldn't be Brawl because Brawl is a sequel to Smash 64 and Melee. Those games had a plethora of Nintendo characters and a game starring just Megaman wouldn't be a sequel to game with alot of Nintendo characters, now would it?

I just want Megaman and Isaac, and that's all I've wanted for some time. I did want Bomberman, but I've almost completely lost faith in him. All of my other 1st/2nd party favorites have been in Smash since 64 so I just need those two and I'm set.

 

[Cless]

Japanese to English, Vava to Vile, Vile to Weil, respectively.

I dunno. Weil seems like a decent enough Romanization of what I'm thinking the kana would look like. Could you show me his name in Japanese? Also, do they spell it out anywhere in the credits or anything?

I think Vava is a stupid name though. Most of the Robot Master names are worse/aren't as funny, but I don't like that name for Vile.

Meh, I don't really care about the roster. Most of my favorite characters in video games are 3rd parties anyway. There should be an Eternal Darkness AT though where it says you're memory card was corrupted. That'd be hilarious.

 

[Lecto2007]

if all you want is megaman, play megaman, how boring would brawl be if it was ONLY MM?

HAHAHAHAHAH so true man i never wanted megaman in brawl in the first place but for someone to come and say i dont care who makes it in all i want is megaman. get up and go buy a megaman game.

 

[Xerroo]

The prima list was fake...

 

[Lecto2007]

what list?

 

[error_alt_delete]

yo starphoenix im thinking your list might be the real deal, lets see about tomorrows update.

anyways i was just thinking about vile being a subspace emissary boss(goliath armor plz!!)and how insane of a boss fight that could be, hes a pretty complex character and a formidable boss moreso in x3.

I think vile would be a great boss(or assist trophy). the golaith armor is a must, but would he use his wall creating missles or just charge through everyone while fireing his paralyzing blasts?

Vava would only make sense if he were fighting X, & X's inclusion over Rockman would be a terrible offense to the series as a whole.

I dont see it that way, classic is the main megaman, but that doesnt mean we should just omit every other version, that would be boreing and a waste of the others potential.

Apparently, it's going to be a continuation of a series left hanging, so in order of importance and along that train of thought, the Wii Mega Man will probably be:

Rockman/Mega Man 9 -> DASH/Legends 3 -> X9

you should take legends three out of that loop, cause we all know it wont happen on the Wii.

I agree -- though X is my favorite character of all time, the original Mega Man is the only version of the Blue Bomber that should be in Brawl. None of the others would make as much sense or have as much impact, even X.

And I think Dr. Wily would be a much cooler SSE boss than Vava... come on, Mega Man as a playable and Wily as a SSE villain? That would be classic and wonderful.

am I the only one who doesnt think that? I would like to explain my mind, but i think it is better I dont say why.

Why are you using the Japanese names? Vile would only be a boss if X was there, and it'd be Sigma over him anyway.

Vile-assist trophy or boss (if sigma isnt the boss)
sigma-boss
zero-team up with X or assist trophy (if vile or sigma arnt assist trophies)

If Brawl had only MM? Well, we might as well call that Mega Man 9. It wouldn't be Brawl because Brawl is a sequel to Smash 64 and Melee. Those games had a plethora of Nintendo characters and a game starring just Megaman wouldn't be a sequel to game with alot of Nintendo characters, now would it?

I just want Megaman and Isaac, and that's all I've wanted for some time. I did want Bomberman, but I've almost completely lost faith in him. All of my other 1st/2nd party favorites have been in Smash since 64 so I just need those two and I'm set.

I want:
1. megaman (preferebly X and zero team or just X)
2. Ridley
3. olimar(confirmed)
4. Ray01
5. Isaac

I could care less for any of the other characters, I already have most of my others in already anyways.

 

[Maverick Hunter X]

The prima list was fake...

Most likely, yes. But Starphoenix may be onto something -- and if the next Dojo reveal is Sheik (it's looking likely) or Krystal, then... well, who knows? Maybe that Prima list being disproved really was a case of Nintendo shutting a real leak down, quickly and quietly.

 

[Pluvius]

I dunno. Weil seems like a decent enough Romanization of what I'm thinking the kana would look like. Could you show me his name in Japanese? Also, do they spell it out anywhere in the credits or anything?

I think Vava is a stupid name though. Most of the Robot Master names are worse/aren't as funny, but I don't like that name for Vile.

I don't know much Japanese, but Vile to Weil makes sense, though the pun is lost in translation. I was just saying that calling Vava Vile stateside causes confusion between the two characters.

As for Vava's naming, for the longest time he was thought to be based on Boba Fett, but recently Inafune said otherwise. Inafune said at the 20th anniversary party that Vava is named after Bubba Zenetti from Mad Max. V is the closest thing to B in Japanese.

 

[Lecto2007]

Anybody but megaman.....Please

 

[Starphoenix]

Hey guys, there are still a few prophets left that say Megaman will not be in Brawl, NyaseNya and ChaoticImplosion.

ChaoticImplosion says Krystal will not be in Brawl, I highly doubt that so we will see.

NyaseNya is the bid bad daddy, she predicted Sonic, says Olimar, WW Link and Ness are in. And absolutely NO Megaman whatsoever; now originally she had tons of credibility. Today, however; as of todays standing 2 things she said have not come true so far. 1) Olimar has no whip attack that we know of right now, 2) there would be a second delay in the US.

Besides, at the time when Nyase said Megaman was not in the game, they may have still been adding things so we do not know if he was added later on. It is still entirely plausible that she is just one of the luckiest people on the earth, or she is telling the truth, in which concerns me... But, ShadowXOR, who is an actual true insider said these things about the real legit people:

Tons of people have gotten to play varying builds of the game that included certain characters and not others while it was in production. Not everyone who has played it has seen everything the game has to offer. The REAL insiders don't know everything, we get access to games at different stages in development.

So maybe Nyase missed Megaman, or maybe he was added at the last minute. who knows... Also NyaseNya said all of these in like late September, things could have changed since than. We just have to wait.


When I contacted ShadowXOR about Megaman, this was his response:

Sorry, that is one thing that I do not know. None of them have seen any other third party characters other than Snake and Sonic, but I think the last build they played was from like three months ago or so.

It is a little disconcerning, but interesting none the less.

Megaman for Brawl!

 

[Lecto2007]

Megaman will not be in brawl.

 

[Cless]

And Nights will be? It's fine if you don't want to support him, but why would you bump the topic making it so that everyone can see it just to say that he won't be in?

Also, maybe the whip attack is Pikmin chain?

 

[Starphoenix]

Megaman will not be in brawl.

Hehe, nice try; I run a rumor investigating blog, so all I was doing is simply pointing out some old rumors and a couple of sources that are reliable. I looked into NyaseNya's history, he is about 75% reliable, things he has said are generic and 2 of them currently false.

So I do not give much credence to him, several people I know guessed Sonic might be revealed during the 2007 Fall conference and updated the next day. As far as CI goes, he is all but debunked for me. Anything else?

 

[Lecto2007]

Not once did i say or ever in my entire life say that nights would be in brawl, Understand what your talking about before you say it or you just end up with something pointless on your hands.

 

[Starphoenix]

Not once did i say or ever in my entire life say that nights would be in brawl, Understand what your talking about before you say it or you just end up with something pointless on your hands.

So than why do you have a Nights support icon, and before a Banjo-Kazooie icon?

Anyways, I would like to get into contact with NyaseNya, because so far I have gotten into contact with Serebii and ShadowXOR. If anyone knows how I could contact him I would certainly like too.

Also, Sakurai gave no indication it was a whip-style attack, but it most likely could be. However; guessing that is not so spectacular, I have seen TONS of Olimar prediction movesets that almost all had this attack in it, LOONG befor NyaseNya.
