The Official "Megaman in SSBB" Topic!

[StevenM]

I apologise if this has already been brought up, but. I've been thinking through how Megaman would 'work' in Brawl.

Megaman's arm cannon (chargin mah lazer) = Samus' arm laser, exactly.

Megaman's "copy the enemy's abilities" ability = Kirby's "copy the enemy's abilities" ability, to a great extent.

Megaman's 'slash with a sword' = Roy/Marth's 'slash with a sword'. Then again it's the same as 'anyone with the beam sabre', to some extent.

Zero's energy sword = Kirby's "triple swipe" ability... to some extent. Energy slashes.

I can't admit possessing an encyclopedic knowledge of the Megaman series, so correct me if I'm wrong somewhere. But in theory, he'd possess other people's special attacks with little to call his own.

 

[Nazi Ninja]

ya, i think that megaman should be in it. and i especialy think that zero should be in it, he would be the tightest character ever. in my opinion

 

[MiraiGen]

As mentinoed before, I highly doubt that anyone but old-school Mega Man will make it.

Yes, Mega Man X was fantastic. But the point is people remember Mega Man's "B-wheep!" for his Buster Cannon when they think Nintendo. Hopefully Sakurai addresses this issue.

couldn't agree more...

 

[GaryCXJk]

What they can also do is combine the classic Megaman moveset with the X reploid model. This makes it have a classic feeling, but still have a more mature cartoonish look. Plus, the only series with decent 3D models.

 

[Stryks]

lol nice pic, meh I mean X is WAY awesome, but I just gotta go with the original Blue bomber...

 

[Me14k]

I think mega man should be like link/young link...where mega man is a faster, but weaker samus.

because megaman is so similar to samus.

I do think that Diddy would be a good add on

Edit: sorry for double post, i also messed up and put that stupid smiley there!

ps-kudos to your work, i just think the x8 3d model of X wasnt all that great. Im gonna try to find a decent 3d model of classic megaman, since he has more of a chance...

Man just cause they both have cannon they automatically become similair? Samus will be able to transform into zamus (how? dont know), can turn into morph ball, do screw attacks and and a lot of stuff more, Megaman CANNOT transform into morphball, transform in Zamus-like megaman or do screw attacks... they only similarity is the canon thats it...

 

[Ryaneatworld]

Zamus (more than likely) is going to be a completely new character seperate from samus (figuring they mentioned nothing about samus when they mentioned zamus.)

But yeah... Megaman is not going to be like Samus. Give Rockman a chance.

why do people keep saying hes like samus? Hes not even close!!! their only similarity is their weapon. And even then samus has a cannon, and megaman has a buster. Even their charging is different!!! Anyone that says that does not know both characters well enough. Also too, if anything, megaman would be a slower/stronger samus! But, I reiterate the fact that he is not "so similar" samus!

1: I will do that.

2: Thanks. I've been looking for Classic Megaman in 3D for a long time. But if it doesn't work out, it's okay.

EDIT:

Even though the model may be better, I still like the first version, because it blends in more with the style.

Eh doubt it..they'd probably give him B attacks related to either Rush (that'd be sick. His recovery could be Rush's spring coil and over B could be hovering Rush) or other things like that Bird dude and his jetpack. I can see him having a Peach-like jetpack, and other attacks like forward B could be his beam. He should definitely be able to run while shooting. Neutral or down B could be like..a randomized attack from one of the original GBC games. He shouldn't be able to copy anyone. Unless Kirby is removed, anyway.

You could easily make an argument for MegaMan, and develop some solid movesets. He'd also be very diverse if done right, and could make for a nasty character.

Agreed, you're right the cell shading animation doesn't fit in well...You still did a sick job though! Thanks! Oh yeah, so far i've had no luck lookin for a classic mega man 3d model. I found one from the game quake but it wasn't high quality enough. I found another from his cameo appearance in the game cannon spike, but couldnt get a good pic....

 

[Konuk]

hmm megaman has been in marvel vs. capcom wow this would be interesting

his A attacks would deal with those off of MvsC yea but im more of a pro/Xand Z myself
Darkmegaman and Dark zero would have good colors . Exe by far the worst megaman ever created. Legends , oringnal Megaman, mega man Zero and X series where good * legends is the best* so i would mind those 2 or those forms for the games i listed for mega man

 

[Wendy Wu]

i think maga man will be in it

 

[Stryks]

Yes yes he will

 

[bluebomber22]

i think if they used his voice from powered up for the psp it would fit well...

 

[Stryks]

As long as it aint the voice from MM8 im happy...

 

[bluebomber22]

i know Stryks, that was the worst voice acting i've ever heard...

 

[MiraiGen]

You clearly haven't watched the trailer to Guilty Gear X.

Wow... I'm gonna have to agree with ya on that one...

oh my goodness....that was terrible...did he say guilty gear zex? I agree with you, that was just atrocious

 

[thebasman]

Great game, terrible terrible voice acting.

Also, Mega Man is one of two characters that I avidly support for Brawl. I would want him to be as classic as possible, just simple and blue like he appears in Marvel vs Capcom, for those of you who play those games. I could take or leave Z, but nothing is classier than the original Mega Man.

 

[MikaRabidKitsune]

Mega Man FTW!

 

[MiraiGen]

Great game, terrible terrible american voice acting.

Fixed it for you.

Sol sounds like a complete badass with his japanese voice actor.

On topic: Mega Man is, I think, one of the bigger American characters that has a good chance in Brawl. The problem is, Sakurai and the team all work in Japan, which means that who they think will make it, will make it.

I hope Japan likes the Blue Bomber.

 

[thebasman]

That distinction needed to be made, the japanese voice acting is indeed much better.

I think that we can safely say that MM is popular in Japan. I don't think that they would make so many Mega Man games in general if he didn't have a fan base in Japan at all.

I would say that the biggest obstacle to MM inclusion in Brawl is the nature of Capcom a a company. Fighting games are their bread and butter. Lending a character to a rival in the genre might not be in their best interest, from their point of view. I'll be the first one to tell you that it would probably just make MM more popular and not hurt Capcom and all, but I, regrettably, don't get to make that decision.

 

[GaryCXJk]

It wouldn't be their first fighter colaboration though. SNK, Namco...

Although Namco technically doesn't count, as it was more of an RPG.

 

[thebasman]

That's a good point. And, also, the fact that Mega Man is the Capcom character most present on Nintendo platforms is a step in the right direction for Mega Man supporters.

How do you think they would approack Mega Man, though? How would he play?

 

[MikaRabidKitsune]

I think it would be similar to MvC....or RockMan Power Fighters.

Well, if he's Mega Man, he'd have the Samus thing. Very floaty, very manuverable, but very heavy. A couple hard hitting attacks to finish, and his Buster Cannon. I think he would have only one good finisher (His Fsmash, probably) to balance with the fact that he'd have attacks like Buster Cannon and Leaf Shield.

If X is in there, then he needs to be alot heavier and fall alot faster, accenting the fact that it's Mega Man "Grown up". He'd also need a much more vicious voice actor.

As far as movelists go, that's all a matter of which game they'd take the moves out of. Things like Mario are easy; You go into all of the games, find something appropriate, then make them work. Samus and Mega Man are harder, though; in an attempt to be unique, it's tough.

 

[Stryks]

I doubt he'll be heavy, the guys a kid, hed be mid-light weight, also i said it before, his Fsmash should be flame sword XD...

 

[MikaRabidKitsune]

I argee with Stryks. He's kinda small to be a heavy weight.

 

[thebasman]

I think he would be a middle weight character, fairly floaty, kind of like a more floaty young link. They seem to be about the same size, right?

 

[bluebomber22]

i think he would be about luigi's height

 

[The Basement Dweller]

1: I will do that.

2: Thanks. I've been looking for Classic Megaman in 3D for a long time. But if it doesn't work out, it's okay.

If he is the classic version should he really be called X?

 

[bluebomber22]

that is X....

 

[HiddenTiger]

I doubt he'll be heavy, the guys a kid

He's also A ROBOT. Last I checked, robots would seem to be pretty heavy. What with being made out of metal and everything.

 

[Stryks]

Yeah well samus has a suit, doubt its plastic or anything and is she a heavyweight?...
