Seriously, I considered it a nice bit of fanservice if anything else. Same with Megaman popping up in Thor and Nova’s endings. At this point the average MM fan rages over seeing him in a cameo, which is extremely backwards and stupid. Capcom’s not trying to troll anyone, the fans are just making it so easy.
(Wherein I begin to suspect I’m overusing a certain phrase…)
Hey, trolling and fanservice aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive, though, yeah, I doubt that Capcom was intentionally trolling. If only because of how ignorant a lot of the people on the design team for MvC3 oddly seem of Megaman in the first place.
I’m personally not really that huge a fan of X to begin with, which is part of the reason I find it hilarious, but you can’t act like it’s that clear-cut, at least from the perspective of fans. Even for the ones who aren’t actually idiots, it’s difficult to argue that the Zero quote that specifically refers to X not being hear helps that perception, however much you want to debate that its misguided (and some of it most certainly is).
Throw the fans a bone and it never ends well
Yall calm down cause ” If X was here…”
Seriously MM fans just deal with it. You guys got the best alt in the entire game for Zero.
As a MM fan myself I am completely satisfied.
And remember it’s not like Megaman has’nt circle jerked with Zero’s saber before.
He probably won’t say that quote when when wearing the costume.
Hell what if Capcom makes the characters say Megaman when tagging him lol.
(And now I’ve replied to the Zero sub-forum more than the Nemesis one. Sigh…)
I find it funny how people who tired about people talking wanting Megaman in game arguably get angrier than the “Megaman fans” who always get lumped together.
I doubt they’ll go that far, Mystic Ray. If they do, then kudos to them, really. They’ve already gone above and beyond getting across most character’s personalities accurately when they didn’t really need to.
Besides, I’d be fine with third person-ness in quote, if only for the hilarity.
Then again, this is acting like I’ll end up using Zero; I probably still won’t since I hate having to hold down buttons and move about, especially on a pad. I’m more likely end using Frank West X than Xero.
Oh, definitely. You know people would still be bitch if X actually was in the game for one reason or another.
Humans are never satisfied with anything.
wow…i just got trolled in more ways then one
This is art
I’m crying at the beauty of it all
I love all the speculation going around.
“It’s just a outfit swap for Zero!”
“His voice actor (Ichigo) will be the same!”
“He won’t have new moves!”
“I want MegaMan EXE!”
The Negativity & saltiness is strong within the Blue Bomber community.
(Double sigh…)
Still not seeing why people keep grouping all the people that like Megaman together when we all don’t even like and definitely don’t want the same things. But, whatever. It’s not like I should have expectations about any of these things.
…That’s not speculation. At all.
The first three are pretty damn obvious–at least, I certainly hope he won’t have any new moves since that would be fucking terrible for balance–and the MegaMan EXE thing is completely unrelated whining that would have happened even with an actual version of X independent from a Zero palette swap was in the game. Since, you know, X and Hub are hardly alike.
Or, maybe you don’t, considering you just lumped everyone together. (And, really, as much as that annoys me [which is actually say very little given my low expectations for humanity], I’m fully aware that not everyone is aware of, much less likes, Megaman and all the different versions of it.)
Ultimate MvC3 says otherwise!
Whew. Capcom has had me in tears since I seen this shit. Well played guys. Well fucking played.
Wrong as all hell. X’s Giga attack in X4 is an invincible dash called the Nova Strike.
X can also use many more tools for rushdown and zoning.
X from X5 and X6 was still way different. If you knew this, their movesets were different fundamentally. X couldn’t use the saber as proficientally as Zero could, because all X gets is a downward vertical swing which does shit damage.
In X6, X never had the Rekkoha.
X can also literally fly and hover via armors that he has more than likely integrated into his system at this point.
You want more proof? Here: http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/X’s_weaponry
http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Zero’s_weaponry
Go compare the two. They don’t play alike, period. X doesn’t get Saber based moves in X6 other than Magma Blade.
Zero doesn’t have jack shit in comparison to X in a fighting game sense. X can play whatever game he wants. Zero can’t. X can keep you out all day with Storm Tornado alone mixed with Chameleon Sting. X also has access to a better Rushdown game due to said projectiles + Chain Strike, which he can use ti get around the stage much faster and easier.This is all without assists btw.
His Charge shot at least in Ultimate Armor is much bigger than that of Zero’s. Zero’s looks puny in comparison. X isn’t in this game for one reason, he is impossible to balance.
Also, not mad about the DLC costume. If anything, its leading more or less to a confirmation of either Classic or EXE at this point. Capcom should’ve known what this would lead to. If I play Zero though, you bet it’ll be this X costume.
No you are objectively wrong. The character isn’t in because there’s nothing unique about him. That’s exactly what Niitsuma himself said, making it the stated and official reason he was left out. It’s also true. Arthur has armour and projectiles covered and Zero actually fits the fighting game concept. You are just making shit up by blaming balance, which you must know yourself is completely baseless. /dealwithit
Fuck only if I could upload that certain reaction image…
You also know that this is the same man that said the only reason Mega Man couldn’t be in is because he is “lame” because of the Mega Buster.
X has plenty of unique properties to him. The Chain Strike is a perfect example. X can use it to grapple foes into him or get him to certain sides of the stage.
X has a Hover, Flight, and with flight, comes an Eight-Way air dash. He can also dash upwards; something else the rest of the cast cannot do. He can literally jump and then dash upwards.
X’s projectiles are literally everything you can possibly want. Storm Tornado is actrociously powerful due to its size and the fact that it eats every other projectile. Let that sink in a minute, his Storm Tornado can EAT every projectile thrown at it. Chemelon Sting fires in 3 directions, is giant, and has insane priority. Magnet Mine can be a tracking projectile, something none of the other members of the cast have outside of Doom. When charged, it becomes a magnetic mass of energy, which can go up or down, and it lingers on screen for a few seconds.
He also has many ways to anti air, and all of his special moves (which can possibly be 40+) can all be charged, giving off more variation. He also can have more hypers than any character in Marvel history as well.He can literally use at least one weapon for all directions.
That’s without armors btw. Are you still going to tell me X doesn’t have anything unique after I posted ALL of this info?
Storm tornados? Zip lines? No I couldn’t possibly think of ANY characters with anything like that… Well, at least not three… okay 5 different characters that do that.
And no other characters than Doom have tracking projectiles? Dear sir, may I buy pot off you? I can think of four right off the top of my head.
Some people will lol at this. I didn’t really care whether or not Mega Man would be in the game or not, but trolling the people that are paying your salary isn’t cool. That’s like being a music artist and putting out an album called “Screw the fans”.
Ah come guys, this can’t really be taken seriously anymore. I can’t get mad, now I’m laughing my butt off. As a MM fan, I can see the logic and protect his viability, but that’s not going to bring him in the game. The only downside is X will never show up as DLC now and I hate that, but I’m not going to rant about something that’s out of my control. Show some class folks, what a crappy year to be a MM fan.
I miss smash bros. arguments, at least that was cute.
i honestly think capcom may still put x in the game with armor.
Because anyone other than RR, PW, and FW, and maybe Iron Fist are truly unique? Cool logic breh.
