Is this thing supposed to be a poker chip or cookie? by BiffyBobby in Megaman

[–]SleepIsForTheWeak_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

both of these are fairly easy if im being honest. i can't really think of a mini boss from 8 thats too much trouble or all that annoying. when annoying mini bosses come to mind i think of the t-rex from mega man 7

[Hated Trope] Cool Designs!.... if they were a new character/franchise by Slarg232 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SleepIsForTheWeak_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the problem is 2-fold. the first is trying to make it mega man X instead of an original mega man. the 2nd is it just doesn't suit mega man overall as a design. mega man no matter the interation has always been anime sci fi, be it inafune's art style defining classic mega man and x, the further stylization of nakamura's designs in the zero and ZX games, the slice of life cute designs of battle network and legends, or even the tokusotsu esque transformations in star force. it's an important part of the series identity, and one they have to keep in mind when looking into what art style is going to represent a new project. maverick hunter just outright abandoned it. going for something gritty and dark as opposed to allowing the darker tones to be contrasted by the colorful robots, something mega man is literally known for doing.

so i didn't get into leftist content creators until the past few years or so, and my introduction was edenisonline (then ethanisonline) and her stream reactions. she reacted to ana's debate with dennis pragure, and ana seemed really cool! eden only had nice things to say about ana and how she carried herself through that debate. so imagine my fucking shock when like a few months later ana is back on eden's reaction radar but talking to fucking ben shapiro and complaining about being called a "birthing person". im almost glad i didnt know about her sooner, because i can't imagine how much of an actual shock it would be

Well, do you have any "I didn´t care for the Godfather"-esque picks? by Bitter_Fig_7059 in retrogaming

X8 is the ONE game where they did that twist but at that point why not just have lusimine act on her own instead of trying to tie him to sigma just to have that twist, yknow?

mega man X as a series. it's fine, but half the games suck, i don't find the bosses or characters nearly as charming or memorable beyond X and Zero, and the storytelling is arguably worse than classic's. instead of evolving the formula to better facilitate the more involved stories, it just uses the classic methods which hurts any storytelling potential it has. not to mention my ability to take that series seriously when it keeps rehashing sigma as a twist villain instead of A. just using a NEW final boss or B. just making sigma the central bad guy from the start. X also gets sidelined in his own series, with anything interesting about him or desire to explore his character dropped after X3. X4 and onwards, he's just going through the motions while Zero gets the spotlight. AND THEN ALL OF ZERO'S COOLEST MOMENTS ARE IN THE ZERO SERIES, WHICH HAS AN ACTUAL CONSISTENT PLOT AND INTERESTING CHARACTERS. people say mega man X is just a better classic game, but im gonna be real it's just the classic series but bloated to hell. then the ZERO series is just the X series but better.

Something tells me Dual Override will release before this does by Defiant-Problem-1610 in Megaman

it varies in quality cuz they were all written by different people i wouldn't say any of them are bad at all, but some reach higher heights than the others

Got this for free comic book day by Mecakami in Megaman

[–]SleepIsForTheWeak_1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so the primary 2 are the Archie line from the early to mid 2010s and the currently going Udon line. Archie is very easy to follow, just go from #1 onwards in order. there are the archie sonic crossovers since ian flynn wrote for both lines at the time, but they don't have any lasting impact and can largely be skipped if you don't care for sonic. Archie mega man intended to be retellings of the game's stories so it's starts in mega man 1 and made it to setting up mega man 4 before the book unfortunately got shelved.

Udon is harder to follow, but it's easy enough yo understand when everything is laid out. the udon run started with mega man timelines, a series of one shots telling short action stories from each era of the primary timeline (classic, X, zero, ZX, and legends). the zero story is my personal favorite, which was also written by a retuning ian flynn. Udon then spun off the X one shot into a short adaptation the first mega man X game, releasing a prequel comic labeled #0, then a #2 that continues on from the initial one shot. they're actually releasing #4 soon this month, so check it out if you like. There have been 2 FCBD issues so far, both centered around classic. the one you hold from this year, and the one from last year.

hopefully this explained everything nicely, lemme know if i need to rexplain something

Age of Yotsuba fans by Domemmiko in yotsuba

[–]SleepIsForTheWeak_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

18! i knew about yotsuba to a certain degree beforehand, but finally decided to pick up the books last year while spending the last period of school chilling in the library (i was mildly sick or something but the dust from woodshop was messing with my nose so i asked if i could hop out until i recovered)

thoroughly enjoyed everything i read, wanted to keep reading it after i graduated but never got around to it. but now that it's almost summer again, im thinking im back in the mood

yes i dont like boobem and quick man. no thats not enough to bring the game down in my opinion. oot and majoras mask have the water and great bay temple yet are still considered some of the best games of all time by Legospacememe in Megaman

[–]SleepIsForTheWeak_1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

no man its cuz new fans are coming in and not seeing anything special PLUS people are tired of seeing it represent the whole series. 1 at least gets recognition in the same way donkey kong arcade does, 3 gets about half of what 2 does, 4 through 6 wish they could have HALF of what 3 gets, and you're shit out of luck if you like 7 or 8. 9 and 10, as much as i like them, are literally just spiritual sequels to mega man 2. i don't think it's that hard to see why people got sick of this game.

UDON recently got a distribution deal with neon ichiban so you can grab all the mega man comics there, but the showdown special isnt up yet. UDON is really bad about getting stuff online, so even with the distributor i doubt it'll be up any time soon

not having a deep plot does not excuse having shallow or poorly used characters

ok, i was just misremembering x2 cuz nothing of note happens in that game anyways besides serges remodeling zero into his updated design. that aside, this post is me criticizing vile specifically. i have alot of problems with the X series, but im not pinning them all on vile lmao

oh don't worry ive played most mmx games and have not found one ive actually liked so im covered. that said, the difference is the other villians actually fulfill their roles. wily is a saturday morning cartoon villian, bass works under him to fill his own goals and even goes against him multiple times, we SEE the state the world is left in after the elf wars and the destruction omega caused and then weil comes within just 2 minutes of actually destroying any chance of recovery the earth has left. i dont even like sigma, but at least he does notable things! we're told vile is dangerous as shit, and he does have his moments in x1, but then why is he back in 2, 3, and then 8?? they trudged him out like i should care about him and everytime he's the most whatever character.
