Mega Man thread.Can I get Battle Network advice here?
>>3161142I know a Battle Network thread would never survive on /v/, but it's not retro per the board sticky. If you aren't horribly opposed to leddit, the /r/megaman subreddit has had some good in depth discussion of Battle Network, so it'd be worth a shot trying there.
For some thread discussion:
Favorite stage?
Favorite boss?
Favorite weapon?
Favorite music?
X or original series?
I don't have favorites for most of those, but music has gotta be Armored Armadillo.

I like the Ray Splasher from MMX3.
Also the Zero Sabre.
On this note, actually, I've always pondered this: what is the MMX3 ultimate weapon? Is it the gold armor or the Zero Sabre? The gold armor isn't a weapon, per se, but it has a more similar method to obtaining it to the previous two games' ultimate weapons than the Zero Sabre (which, in function, is more like the ultimate weapons of old).
>>3161154
The PSP version of Armored Armadillo is pretty cool.
I want to have Roll-chan as my daughtah!
>>3161154
Actually /v/ loves battle network, its one of the few series that's pretty agreed upon to be good.

Elec Man, Heat Man, Stone Man, Plant Man, Freeze Man, Aqua Man, Magna Centipode, Fokkerwolf, Glyde's theme, Sky Lagoon (X), Izzy Glow, Jakob... way too many.
>X or original series?
Classic. I love every series and most games, though. Even Starforce has a place in my heart.Also, ask /mmg/ on /vg/ for Battle Network advice, I'm sure they'll deliver!
How long before the GBA is retro and we can talk about BN here?

Favorite stage
Wood man
Favorite boss
Cutman
Favorite weapon
Either metal blades or thunder beam

Oh boy.

Just live it up until then and try not to think about it.
There's a fellow named RoahmMythril on YouTube that does a lot of Megaman stuff, including Battle Network. Check him out for advice, I guess.

Venus.

Lightning Bolt
>Favorite music?
Search Man, with Mega Water S in a close second.
>X or original series?
Original
Anybody try playing Quint's Revenge? I thought it was a neat fangame with some pretty good production values, but I'm a fucking casual and I find it too tough.

samuraikarasu has played through almost all of the Classic series games, including DOS, DOS3, and R&F2.
>>3164253
I can second this.
so how old where you when you realized that Mega Man is a soulless automaton with no real thoughts or actual personality and will be tossed in a dumpster like a pile of useless scrap when Dr Light gets tired of him
>>3164527
He's a cartoon character, chill.
>>3164527
Never, because I've actually played the games and read the official materials and I'm not an edgy teenager writing fanfiction.
>>3164714
but it's the game themselves that state this. X was the first real living robot.
>>3164738
No, X was the first robot who could make choices outside of his programming. He could decide to just randomly murder the fuck out of someone if he wanted to.
Rock could not make that type of decision. It's like the difference between a child and an adult. Hence the difference in physical bodies.
>>3164795
>It's like the difference between a child and an adult
Core difference is that children will grow up and become adults. Rock will forever be little more than a mechanical slave to the whims of a bearded childless old man, while X has free will and is alive.
>>3164824
Explain this then: Rock chose to become Mega Man. Dr. Light was completely against it but Rock talked HIM into it.
How does that equal, in any way, shape or form a thoughtless mechanical slave?
Seriously - play these games before you write edgy 12 year old's fanfiction.
>>3164714
>Rock and Roll acting like normal children.
>>3164738
I call bulshit, they just say that to hype up reploids, sort of like those car commercials always hyping inconsistent things about the new model car.
>>3161142
What you do is wait until about 70 posts in and casually slip the question into the conversation very nonchalantly and let it blend amidst the other Mega Man discussions.

>Rock chose to become Mega Man. Dr. Light was completely against it but Rock talked HIM into it.
Vague primary directive.

Stop torturing me.

qzecwx is best megaman lper, accept no substitutehideofbeast is also good but lack of commentary on the Classic games and some questionable opinions mar him a bit
>>3161154
>Favourite Stage?
Classic: MM3 Spark Man
X: MMX1 Sigma Stage 2
>Favourite Boss?
Classic: MM5 Gravity Man
X: MMX6 Commander Yammark (it's always so much fun killing him in 4 seconds, I chuckle every time)
>Favourite Weapon
Classic: MM1 ElecMan
X: Don't know, I like too many.
>Favourite Music?
Classic: MM3 Wily Stage 3&4
X: MMX3 Toxic Seahorse
>X or Original series?
I love both, but i'll go with X. It's more fast paced, and a lot more you can do. Also, Zero.
>>3164918
>doesn't know the lore of Mega Man
>doesn't know the lore of X series
>insists he knows better
There's this thing called "actually playing the games" or at the very least "looking up easily available public knowledge" instead of shooting your mouth off. The lore was explained in the intro to the FIRST FUCKING X GAME.
And, if you only know the Archie comics, the "free will" stuff has been brought up multiple times, as recently as the last story arc. They EXPLICITLY talk about this.

>X series and Zero series
my nigga

>will be tossed in a dumpster like a pile of useless scrap when Dr Light gets tired of him
Almost as autistically bad a theory as "Zero kills the whole cast".
>>3161154
BN threads are very popular and very common on /v/.
