First for cutest maverick!

DAY-CHAN POSTING. BEAT WAIFU.

Damn auto correct

Fuck.

I lost track of time, so what should I play for Friday night streaming?
>>134890231
I'll be bumping my stream back to 8pm EST tonight.
>>134890851
>>134890231
I'll also stream tonight.
Hope people will be able to attend.
Hopefully once we fucking move and get better internet I can stream during the day or atleast earlier than 11 PM EST.
But that's when my ISP restores it's speed until 6AM if you're already over your data limit which is small a fuck to begin with.
God wildblue sucks.
>>134891161
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aX2KNyaoNV4
I remember my first and only fan squee when I watched this.
>>134891472
I can still feel the hype I felt when I first saw this. I vividly remember that gif of that random guy stroking that Mega Man sign like a fanatic at the Smash demo.
I think Nintendo made me more hyped for Mega Man than Capcom ever could.
>>134891640
I've been thinking at what would happen if Capcom would sell Mega Man to Nintendo.
All the great games that could be had. Then again I look at Metroid and my hopes kinda disappears.
>>134890851
For anyone wondering how to get google hangouts to work, all you need is Chrome and a google account and then click on the link. If you have a Youtube account then you have a Google account. I am poorfag and thus have a super shitty set up. I have to point my web cam at the tv like luizprower back in ye olde days of youtube.
This prevents me from reading and responding to text comments, which is why I like google hangouts because I can talk to people in real time.
>>134892445
A huge chunk of Mega Man's history is on Nintendo though. The series has a lot of potential, especially for some spin off games, and I think they know this. They might screw it up, they might not but out of all their IPs Nintendo only has one or two they are actually neglecting.Fire Emblem's sordid state of affairs is mostly attributed to shitty localizations I think
What's the worst scenario in the EXE universe?
Hard Mode:Nothing from EXE1 and its abysmal internet, Nothing that necessitates a specific NaviCust program, Nothing involving Search or Video Man in EXE4 and not the 100 dummy challenge from EXE5
What's the best?

Ra Moon being activated would be literal genocide

i think you misunderstood the prompt
I'll be continuing Mega Man 7 tonight and if I manage to finish that the I'll move on to Mega Man 5 or 2. Probably 2.

I want Gate to be Axl's onii-chan

Protect the cute chameleon robot!I wonder if there's more art like this where he has two normal eyes instead of the one normal eye and one robotic eye
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FJTK_iNA5s
I didn't get to finish Mega Man 7 cause my parents decided to leave me alone with the puppy again. Sorry.
Capcom should have fired Inafune when they had the chance after Dead Rising. Now he's gained too much power and has attained Wily status.
>>134906864
Both of them are exactly the same entity at this point.
Both created Zero
Both left and betrayed their former coworkers
Both used crowdfunding for their schemes
Inafune used former members of Capcom for Mighty No. 9. Wily used Light's robots in his 1st and 9th schemes for world domination.
Both do not uphold promises with crowdfunded money (Wily did not even build any robots with the money he got in 9 like he said he would. Instead he built a giant fortress that stretches into space and stole all the robots in 10 from various makers)
posted some semi-lewd pics on the booru I guess.
>>134911969
Thank you based anon!

>>134922620
If only this were canon.
>>134922808
This will never be canon because X7 sucked.
>>134911969THAT FELT GEWD!!!
I always liked this pic
>>134924012
X7 gets too much hate because it's cool to hate X7 imo
>>134931765
Play it.
>>134931976
I did. It's really not that bad.
I really only got annoyed by it because I was trying to rescue all 128 reploids and that gets annoying as balls
>>134921208
sauce
>>134932085
You've got different standards than most people, then.
It just plays too sluggishly, sounds terrible, and just looks really unpolished for me.
And I have really bad memories of the fight against Red.
>>134932465
My memory of Red is using the gliding from platform to platform turtling around and shooting off an attack every now and then
X7 is not great. But it's not this universally terrible game that every says it is. Honestly, X6 offends me more because at least with X7 they tried something different (and didn't do so well). X6 they simply didn't try.
>>134932584
X6 always felt like it was forced out by Capcom before it was ready rather than the dev team not caring. It improved on a ton of little things that prevented me from enjoying X5 and there are a lot of things I think had potential but it was clearly unfinished. I think that was around the time when Capcom was trying to pump out several Mega Man games a year and you had stuff like the Battle Network games only getting half a year of dev time at most, so it wouldn't be that surprising.
page 10
page 10 again
>>134932584
X6 had nice armors, but needed more mix and match and abilities that were actually useful. There were a lot of aspects that needed polish, but it had enough NEW ideas.
It's biggest problem was really that the story didn't quite top X5, which was unfortunate. It needed more to do with X personally, and it needed to tackle those deeper themes better.
In retrospect, the donut was terrible, awful design, and X7 had some of that too.
I really want a X7 remake. Too bad that I'm sure they will never make one, be it only a remake or part of the maverick hunter series
>>134941694
They'd have to do a major overhaul to the story too, and they'd have a release a pretty impressive trailor for people to even consider buying it, given the game's infamous status.
>>134932465
All of this, plus you don't get X until about half way through the game, and by the time you do, he's massively nerfed because everyone else got the upgrades from the rescued reploids!
>>134933410
Capcom apparently churned out Mega Man 7 in only 3 months so there's no excuse there.
>>134944050
>he's massively nerfed
his charge shot kinda encompasses half the screen.
Although that's also a problem of having character models so large that proportionately large attacks just fill up the screen.
>>134944172
I was talking in terms of power, and health upgrades. His special weapons are also pretty bad.
>>134942873
If they gave us a demo that played better than X7, I would already buy it.
When the Giga Wave hits the panels just right
>>134892767
This might be just me but I really dislike the Freezeman scenario in EXE2.
>>134945467
Same here. I'd like to see remakes of X6 too with a better written story and better stage design. I have a whole list of gripes with X6
You get the falcon armor from the start, and the game basically is harder when you don't use it.
The game suffers from a lot of artificial difficulty. You know how some stages become easier when you defeat certain bosses (They used this mechanic to a lesser extent in Mega Man 7 like if you use freeze man's weapon in cloud man's stage the invisible platforms become visible)? Why did they think that I'd want the opposite to happen in X6??
>Donuts
Bad stage design all around. Commander Yammark has leaps of faith. Shield Sheldon's stage is super short and repetitive. Infinity Majinion also suffers from repetitive stage design.
The boss fights don't seem so bad though and at least the sound track is good.
>>134953741
>You get the falcon armor from the start
I blame X5 for starting this.
>>134953741
The donuts aren't the worst thing from the stage, it's the rising lava/flame wall of death mixed with the donut.
>>134954871
That's probably the worst stage in the game. Pheonix Maginion's boss fight's no walk in the park either.
>This game is really hard. Can't we tone it down a bit?
>We don't have time! We gotta ship this out before Inafune notices!
>>134960449
Needs more filters.
>>134960594
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctA999T5HZM
You can tell they tried way too hard to on this stage just by listening to the music.
>IT'S SO INTENSE IT'LL BLOW ZERO'S TITS RIGHT OFF!! YOU LIKE MINIBOSSES? NO? WELL FUCK YOU BECAUSE WE PUT FIVE OF THEM IN THERE!
>>134961164
Replied to the wrong post? Because it had nothing to do with the music.
>>134961654Yeah I did. sorry.

>>134967691
What do you know, Data? You're a monkey.
>>134967691
Do robots enjoy sexual acts?
>>134967691
>>134970652
They're not robots in Legends, they're carbons.
>>134967691
Does anyone remember how at the end of legends data told mega man he apparently stored all his memories in him and he was going to tell him who he was or some shit?
Did that ever happen, like was it ever explained?
>Inb4 wait for legends 3 :^]
>>134971354
We saw that in Legends 2. The only thing now is that Mega Man Trigger is stuck on Elysium (and no, elysium is not THE moon, but I suppose you could call it an artificial moon.)
>>134971610
Oh.
I guess I forgot.
>>134966246
>>134953741
>>134954871
YOU get a donut!
YOU get a donut!
EVERYBODY GETS A DONUT!
>>134970652
Never.
>>134944740
I remember my X being pretty overpowered by the end
>>134972040
Can't wait for GV 2
>>134975194
I'm too excited.
>>134975058
I wouldn't know. I didn't finish it.
>>134944050
That just shows how amazing Mega Man 7's team was, making a game like that in 3 months is insane. To expect a different team developing for another console to be able to make a game as good in a short period of time is ridiculous, especially with the X series which is more designed around multiple characters/armors and all the collectibles and secrets. It's also worth noting that X5 and X6 had a new team from the previous games, I doubt they were as experienced with the series.
>>134978286
Well that actually explains a lot. I swear some of these Mega Man dev teams are absolute wizards.
>>134975194
Me too. I want names from the new bosses already.
>>134978662
I want the old ones back in some shape or form. They had character
>>134978893
I want a mook inspired in Day-chan. That would be cool.
And not that farfetched as they did it ZXA.
>>134979969
I have no idea what you just said.
>>134980512
Fuck. Let me explain.
In ZXA, they had some small enemies that were made from the ZX bosses.
I hope that they do it again in GV2.
I'm sorry about my shitty english.
>>134981556
Ah. That would be cool.
>>134911027
Okay, I'm gonna need a source.
>>134982634
Shit I forgot where I got it. It came from Pixiv.
I've been listening to Cannonball and Nothing Beats for so long that I am going insane.
Save Me.

Man, Ripping sprites is hard.
>>134986186
Which sprites are you ripping?

Auto should be a badass more often. He's cool with that rocket launcher.
Slow thread, slow thread.
Where is everyone?
>>135000304
Not sure where everyone else is, truth be told. Must be a busy Saturday or something.
We should carry on storytiming that Zero Manga
>>135000643
How much more must we endure?
>>134987219
Megaman 7 Fc.
It's much less "hard" and more so long and tedious.
>>135001967
Is something not on Sprites Inc?
>>135001967
I think there are rips already on Spriters Resource.
>>135000304
Not working on my schoolwork, that's for sure. I still need to get my stuff packed for my trip
>>135003307
I've been ripping all weekend for SR.

>>135001458
I'm sick but I could story time chapter 3 of volume 3 since I spoiled the ending to chapter 2.
>>135004093
Hope you get better, anon
>>135004296
Thank you very much, sweetie!
If I'm suffering you're all going to suffer with me so it's painful storytime.
Craft is the only one in this manga that currently doesn't look like shit. Maybe this might be a good chapter? I haven't read it yet.
Nope... Niege it's a fucking frog.actually technically a cyber elf.
>>135004790
I'm sorry. Let me stop you right there. Can we just... Take a moment and appreciate that face?
>>135005038
absolutely
>>135004989
Uh oh. Niege forgot to keep her eyes on the road! Do they even issue licenses in this apocalyptic future? Was there a Neo Arcadian DMV?
I've never played Mega Man Zero but I'm pretty sure Niege's personality isn't like this...
Also is it just me or are Zero's eyes really round in this chapter?
>>135004790
>Craft
>Wandering Warrior
jesus christ, he's already been butchered
>>135005517
....no. Niege wasn't like that at all. She was intelligent, but impotent and hateful.
>>135005517
Oh I've been spelling her name wrong.
Calm your fucking tits Neige! Also she's not a journalist, she's a reporter! While there are many different kinds of careers in journalism, a reporter's job covers a narrower scope and requires a specific skill set.
>>135006081
so is the dark elf actually important to this plot?
>>135006701
This is the most lighthearted robo-apocalyptic scenario ever.
>>135006701
Wow! It took 7 whole pages to become absolutely stupid! A new record...this was probably Inafune's thinking when he was making the Zero series. I wonder why he didn't try hard to market the series.
>>135007483
Craft looks so out of place here it's honestly jarring. Also he was not a mercenary! He followed Weil for his own survival.
>>135007818
I just realized the author thus far has been careful not to show closeups of the other characters faces, so this artist IS capable of decent art so why did it turn out like this?! Where did it all go so wrong?
>>135006701
Where's Copy X?
>>135008487
Well that didn't last very long...
>>135008628
Could be wrong but I don't think he was even in this manga.
>>135008736
I'm just gonna call him Stern Face Shady McGee from now on.
>>135009051
How did you not see her literally 30 seconds ago?!
Wow Craft doesn't show a whole lot of emotion on his face, does he?
>>135009703
You know the typeface is bad when they can't even be arsed to keep it in the speech bubble.
>>135010448
Did the writers give Craft ADHD? How did he forget that quickly?!
>>135011081
oh hey this page actually doesn't look that bad.
>Zero's face and pose in the bottom right panel
It hurts to live.
I guess they don't have journalism degrees in the future cause she's not a very good reporter.
>>135006081
But how do you know she isn't also a journalist
>>135011592
So many speed lines.They don't do anything to help Zero's face though.
>>135011772
But we still have 11 more pages of this chapter...
Oh boy. I can't wait to see this big reveal...
>>135012128
What a cool Rep.... loid...
>>135012305
>Nmooo...
Nmoo?
NMOO!?end me just fucking end me!
>>135012489
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vvBfOBFec4
>>135012741
I think what's obvious what's about to happen next.
>>135012932
Oh boy, our hero...
Craft kills the mino magnus in one shot when Zero couldn't just slice it apart? Yeah that makes sense.
>>135013451
Why is Craft suddenly acting like this is a duel of honor and that he totally wasn't about to smash Zero's face in for money? His character did a complete 180 in like 9 pages.
>>135013647
Craft is too cool for your thanks
>>135013832
Well at least they waited until the last page to completely ruin him..
>>135013857
HA! I knew you'd risk yourself for Mr. Lincoln!
>>135014023
Me too, Zero...
I can't wait to storytime the final chapter later. It's really bad. I'm pretty sure it might have Legends refrences in it.
>>135014273
Once I go back home, I will try to draw GV characters in this style.
>>135015813
Oh god.... Please no, I'm sick. I'm not prepared for this.
>>135015881
Then prepare yourself,m8.
I want /mmg/ to suffer with me.
>>135015813
>>135016402
Oh fuck...
>>135015813
>>135016402
Why this!?
>>135015813
This can't end well.
Off-Topic:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V147_PZxRsY
May change with time.
>>135015813
I'll go prepare myself.
>>135014273
>Legends references
I hope not.
>>135031319
>There's one standing beside you right now
>Nyah hah ha!
>>135043360
remind me again why you like Sting Chameleon so much? Is there somewhere where he got extra characterization?
>>135044101
This.
It's honestly a little disturbing.
>>135044101
>>135045280
Well, he just kinda stuck with me. I liked how he looked when I saw him for the first time, and so I've always liked him ever since. I like a lot of the Mavericks to be honest. As for the characterization thing, I fucking wish...
>>135045465
same here honestly. They're such interesting characters. Ironicaly Flame Hyenard is one of my favorite designs.
>>135045465
so.....why not make some? Just take all the canon you can find and, well, add a bit.
>>135045465
It sucks when a character you like gets little to no characterisation in official works.
Pic related.
>>135049859
he's cute with Splash
>>135050132
I'm all for cute sibling stuff but I don't ship them.
>>135052401
nitro man's concept art was cooler than the final design
>>135053026
and Strike could have been a top husbando
>>135053152
Chill Man concepts
bottom middle is my favorite
>>135053327
Sheeps
>>135053430
Solar Man
>>135053026
I prefer his canon design. Being able to switch forms looks cooler and would be more convenient.
>>135053327
I love that design. It has a sentry-guard feel to it which really fits his job as an Arctic observer robot.
>>135053516
>>135053532
Yeah, i see what you mean about switching forms, it'd be hard to be on the bike all the time and having no way to really transport it when not in use
i'm just not sure where the other wheel or the rest of the bike comes from in his canon design
>>135053627
>>135053728
>>135053026
>>135053152
>>135053430
>>135053516
The designs got less and less human, didn't they?
Though the reverse happened for Chill Man.
>>135053827
Ah, Honey Woman..
>>135053904
I do like some of the less humanoid designs but the humanoid concepts are always fun to look at
>>135053961
>>135054043
Neat
>>135054043
Hello Fire man jr
>>135054117
I really like Ocean Man, but in the end I guess his design was too similar to Wave Man's
>>135053827
That Galaxy Man concept looks dramatically different to the canon design. I can see why they didn't go for it.
>>135053961
The Hornet Man design on the bottom right is hilarious. But somehow >>135054117 looks alright.
>>135054148
Coincidentally, Fire Man and Magma Man are both second-last numerically in their lines.
>>135054198
kinda glad they didn't go with Weather Man, Tornado is one of my favorites
>>135054296
>The notes for the middle concepts states the similarity between the concept, Quick Man and Wind Man.
Quick Man's cocky smirk is definitely there, but the Wind Man turbines look too big for his body.
>>135053728
Quite a drastic difference.
>>135049859
That's how it is with pretty much all the robot masters though.
I don't think it's entirely a bad thing though since that lets people leave things up for interpretation. It's interesting to see what kind of headcanons groups of people make up for different robots, like The Megas unanimously agreeing with Hyadain that Flash Man is gay for Mega Man or Bubble Man being a bishounen.
>“I look around Tokyo Games Show, and everyone’s making awful games; Japan is at least five years behind,” said Keiji Inafune, 45, head of global research and development at Capcom and one of Japan’s most prominent game designers.
Oh Really Inafune? He said this back in 2010. Let's see what awful games came out in 2010.
Bayonetta, Fable II, VVVVVV, Mass Effect 2, No More Heroes 2, Bioshock 2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat (which got a perfect 10/10 on Steam), Heavy Rain, Yakuza 3, God of War III, Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver, Dragonage: Origins- Awakening, Sam and Max Beyond time and Space, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, WarioWare D.I.Y, Super Mario Galaxy 2 just to name a few.
Sure the offerings were weak near the end of the year, especially by Setember when he made this comment but isn't a rather pretentious thing to say about the hard work others put in?
>>135059067
and people give 4 million for his shit project.
>>135059067
>“Capcom is barely keeping up,” he said in an interview at the show, which ended Sunday. “I want to study how Westerners live, and make games that appeal to them.”
This one is interesting because while this is kinda true, 2010 was actually the last year Capcom had a lot of people's respect.
