Would you play a Megaman Vile spinoff series over another Megaman Zero series?
>>
>>339551781
The dude literally has exploding kneecaps
The answer is obviously yes
>>
He's the best Villian with no other motives other than to kill X
Maverick Hunter is top tier megaman
>>
So a "Megaman VX?" I thought Vile was only around for X, X3, and X8 so would he only get three games?
>>
Only if he has more than one stage theme this time.
>>
>>339551781
Fuck yes. I can't believe they waited til Maverick Hunter to make him shine. Fuck Axl, gimme Vile.

Well that's only if you have to settle for swapping out suits. I'm talking a bit more involved customization so you can get the most out of each part. But this is all hypothetical reinvention, since the Ride Armor system in 3 was just bad.
>>
>>339562065
Edge is super corny, unless the character has another redeeming quality. Because every character in the Mega Man universe has only one dimension, there's no reason to like the edgy ones. Unless you think the super evil is actually cool. In which case, you're likely an edgelord yourself, and no one really likes you.

Vile is the frowny kind of edglord. Sigma is the smiling kind of edgelord.

Vile's entire motivation for Maverick Hunter X is to piss on X because he can't stand everybody gushing over how X is destined to uplift the entire Reploid race, especially Sigma.

As far as we see, there is no virus in the Maverick Hunter X canon, reploids go maverick for their beliefs.

His edge is palpable as he runs around killing all the rebelling reploids for no reason other than to make them stop talking about X.

But he's so lovable doing it. He just wants to be acknowledged.
>>
>>339562781
>Sounds like you just want everything to be quirky and cute.
You know, that type of argument is tiring. I see it so often. You don't really believe I want that, do you? So why would you say I want that? Why would you intentionally misinterpret what I'm saying? It only makes me have to jump through one more hoop to explain my position. It's taxing.

>Don't ever watch Star Wars because Darth Vader and Palpatine are super edgy then.
Darth Vader and Palpatine are corny. But corny villains can work within the framework of a hero story. You root for the hero, not the villain. So it's acceptable if the villain is merely a motive for the hero to fight.

That's how it is with Mega Man X. X and zero are worth rooting for. So it's ok if Vile and Sigma are just edgy villains. But if they're going to make a Vile game, then they're going to have to give me a reason to give a fuck about Vile. Somehow I doubt they will.

Vile had the most unique gameplay in the series in a while, he was only playable in 1 game, so I wouldn't mind them giving his gameplay more fleshing out.

So my answer is yes.

Vile forced Zero to blow himself up just to remove Vile's edge, he also almost killed X twice.

Sigma has killed X and Zero before, but only when their guards were down at the end of X5.

Really Vile has a better track record then his boss.

This thread's topic isn't "Do you think edgelords would play a Vile game", it's ">Would you play a Megaman Vile spinoff series".

I can clearly read that others want to play a 1-dimensional villain. But that's not what I want. They're gong to have to develop Vile into something more substantial than Rip McTear, before I can give a shit.

Its also understandable, from just talking from Boomer Kuwanger its pointed out that from an outsider point of view Vile has better combat specs then X, also a higher hunter rank.

I can completely see anyone in his shoes feeling frustrated that everyone is kissing X's ass so much.

I don't understand why you think in a thread where the topic is asking everyone for the individual opinion, that for some reason, I have to regard what other people think. Tell me why I should give a fuck if "some people just want to play a bad guy." That's no concern of mine.

What makes that funny is that the manual says he when he was a hunter he took pleasure in destroying his enemies, and would hurt anyone else that got in his way while doing it.

...Also some bullshit about how he has a glitch in his brain, and that's why he acts the way he does.

But he pretty much set himself for his own problems in hindsight.
>>
>>339566986
I don't know Rhino from Spider man, so I can't measure you analogy. But I don't believe you need to swing corpses from your robo dick in order to be edgy. Trying to be the ultimate killer, ruthless, merciless, uncaring, and even taking pleasure in other's pain and death, is plenty edgy on it's own.

Why are X and Zero considered such amazing reploids when it took their combined efforts to bring down Vile in MMX?

I mean if a simple robo-walker is enough to bring Vile to the level that neither X nor Zero can beat him without Zero self destructing, why not just mass produce the walkers? They're more effective machinery than X or Zero are.

>>339567905
I'm pretty sure it's canon that Vile constructed his particular walkers himself.

Wait, shit, maybe that's it. Maybe Vile is actually an engineer and is insulted that an ancient relic like X is considered more cutting edge than all the weapons he designs.
>>
>>339567934
Well it's not exactly a bad thing, if it's portrayed in the right way. It could be played up for laughs. Or just a dash of irony to help the edge go down. There's a lot of ways to spin such a thing.
>>
>>339566804
And since all Reploids are based on X...

...That means that Vile has "Daddy Issues".

Didn't Day of Sigma prove that Sigma always wanted to be destructive and the Zero Virus simply gave him the means to do so? Not this "I'm suddenly evil because virus" thing?
>>
>>339567905
Well for X it's understandable that he was still a rookie at the time who had hardly reached his potential. Otherwise though I guess you could say advances in weaponry + skill.
>>
>>339567905
>Why are X and Zero considered such amazing reploids when it took their combined efforts to bring down Vile in MMX?
Both X and Zero have anime bullshit on their side.

X's unlimited potential and Zero's whole thing about his sleeping powers.

X by the time of Xteme 1 is able to destroy a data recreation of X1 VIle who's using his ride armor WHILE he's riding his ride armor, and X himself doesn't have anything.

X was strong enough to destroy Vile's ride armors in X3.

We see bits of how strong truly is in X5, when he's infected with enough he can't take damage from anything, and if you wait long enough in the fight with his awakened self he will do 1 hit kill attacks. Sigma also implies this he isn't even at his full potential.
>>
>>339568395
Sigma was always loyal and respectful. After his encounter with Zero, the virus infected him and he slowly descended into madness. The virus never affected his power, it just made him go maverick.

>>339568274
X is technically their mother because Dr. Cain, who is incapable of doing anything other than make bad decisions, thought it would be cool to replicate X without the eons of Light's diagnostics and moral parameter simulations and just toss some random fucking animal DNA into the synthetic bullshit that makes X special in order to create Reploids. Also that's totally why the first Reploid, Sigma, is a Human base. Look at Sigma and tell me Cain didn't use his own DNA for that one. Come on.

He must have inherited the bad decisions gene too.

>>339569674
The Joker should actually be higher, because sometimes he's a force of nature, like a creature. While other times, he's actively attempting to subvert Batman and his sense of justice. So in a way, he's working to change society. And if you really want to romanticize his actions, then you could argue that what he is doing is ultimately for the best. Destroying Batman may actually be better for Gotham.

Hannibal's is actually more creature than man.
