If you hit the button under this dialog, you can learn some stuff about the page you're on and the dude running it.

(That dude is also on sad-white-boy-guitar-ballad.tumblr.com. That's where the magic happens. ...Will happen. After I dust it off.)

Ballade?

Ballade. :(

Kay, so like, Mega Man 8's stage select screen is something I think about regularly, not only because it's visually the coolest out of all of the classic stage selects, but it's also very funny.

Cause even though the robot masters' locations/places of origin aren't important like they are in 6, it has a shitty pixel globe that gives us an approximation of where everything is located and I NEVER see anybody talk about it. On that note, I present to you my analysis:

A couple note about this that I think are important: 1. If I remember correctly, I pulled these screenshots from Japanese gameplay because I was curious to see if Dr. Light's lab was still located near the US Southern border outside of the localization (what started my deep dive in the first place), and as you can see it is 2. The little markers they're using are fucking massive and a pixel globe is gonna lose a lot of nuance, so I could be pretty off on some of these and I am open to suggestions from the public

elparra

Just an addition: Dr. Light's lab is in the US because he and Wily are canonically Americans at least since Mega Man 5

ollithan

See, I actually wasn't aware of this, but it is still incredibly funny to me for some reason

Living in the Yukon and then seeing a giant mechanical ice gorilla rip his way through the forests on his way to Anchorage would inspire me to never leave my house again.

(LOL at these doodles. XD Mega Man but the only thing different is Rock is voiced by Pamela Adlon.)

Being in the megaman fandom is weird because on one hand I desperately want new content but at the same time capcom has done JUST enough weird shit with the franchise that I also don’t want them to touch it.

20-dollar-yard-sale-gnome

How did you so perfectly articulate exactly my thoughts. I want there to be some new material, but I can't help but worry that if a new game or a remake did come out, they'd do something stupid. Like introduce some new lore that makes the story even more convoluted, or make a character behave really OOC, or find new and fun ways to be misogynistic, or...

Honestly, the thing I worry about the most is: what if they make a hinted-at ship go canon? I really don't want them to do that. I live in perpetual fear that if X9 is released, they'll actually make X/Alia, Zero/Layer, and/or Axl/Pallette canon. Please. We don't need any more hetcomp romance, I just want them to be friends and hang out. Leave the shipping to the fanbase. Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me?

voidmetal-alloy

Part of me hopes that Capcom has learned something from the Ace Attorney fandom about how to handle fandom ships, occasional acknowledgement of what’s popular can be fun on social media posts and through merch, but the games have stayed pretty consistently unaffected and focused more on friendship and familial bonds instead, so the fans are free to take the lead on shipping.

Mishandling characterization is the least of our problems when the company responsible never prioritized good, consistent storytelling in Mega Man games. I guess, that is a microcosm of how they view the brand overall. Which isn't great. Someone take ol' Rocky away from them.

(Needless rant contained underneath. Yeesh. Burst a fucking blood vessel down there.)

10 Great Ideas For Mega Man Spinoff Games

1. Super Fighting Robot!: A licensed title of a licensed title for the SNES. Ruby Spears Megaman sidescrolling platformer that's a painfully obvious reskin of Totally Rad (NES).

2. Novas Jogos De Megaman: Game Boy adaptation of Novas Aventuras de Megaman, released as four separate carts that cover all 16 issues.

3. Rockman - Hurry Up!: A Mega Man themed endless runner starring Quick Man, for Fire OS devices. Customization, upgrades, challenge mode, 8 bit minigames, bonus stages, and surround sound are locked behind paywalls.

4. Dr. Wily's Battle On The Alps: Autoscrolling gimmick title where the entire campaign is completed on that fucking snowboard. You know the one. Only compatible with the Wii Fit Balance Board.

5. Auto Man 7 (Rockman 7 - Rightot's Turn): Idle game for Genesis, reimagining Mega Man 7 from Auto's POV. Active interactions appear when Mega Man shows up at Big Eddie's, which typically happens 6-8 times per an average 2 hour playthrough. The shop theme is the only BGM present.

6. Mega Man II - Mayhem in Monsteropolis: The lost 2nd entry in Rozner Labs' DOS series. Features animated stage select mugshots. It's the only of the three games to contain music, which is tracked to a single MIDI channel and fixed to the 5th octave.

7. Mega Man Helper Robots - Battle and Chase: Realtime cleaning sim placed after the events of B&C, for Gamecube. Players become a sanitation robot with their choice of duties: power washing the roads, repaving the asphalt, repainting track lines, hanging the ads, sweeping out the seating, or retouching the scenery. There are 25 potential level configurations per duty, per circuit.

8. Rockman & Forte - King's Gambit: Standard fare virtual chess, but King is the COM player. Music is substituted for ambience, occasionally interrupted by thoughtful hums and quiet comments on attempted strategies. PSN download.

9. Mega Man's Synchronized Swimming: Multiplayer arcade game with point based progression, featuring Dr. Light. The player uses two joysticks to swim. Precision strokes are encouraged for more points. Breaking formation ends the game.

10. Cossack Citadel - Citizen's Attack!: Educational CD-ROM game in which your only job is to help Dr. Cossack pay his bills and file his taxes. There's a Russian language version.

An Irony

You would think that a franchise founded with a """technical pacifist""" protagonist wouldn't make a pacifist run impossible without game breaking glitches. After Mega Man 2, it's an exercise in misery.

Mega Man should at least have the option to never draw his buster, even if it makes everything harder.

It's been almost 40 years, and we can't come up with a single game that challenges you to subvert violence instead of partaking in it?

Mega Man 9 awards you "Mr. Perfect" and "Invincible" for not taking any damage or dying, so what about the inverse? What about an achievement for not dealing any damage or killing? That shit is harder than you think!

You could set up some alternative routes for keener eyes. You could leave players with secret, brief puzzles that trap or immobilize enemies instead of blowing them up. Introduce backdoors to boss rooms that let us remotely contain the Robot Masters within so they're no longer a danger. Make it so we can buy upgrades from the Labs that're centered on defense and regen instead of offense. Something!

Not only would it be consistent with the motivations of our hero, it'd give this hypothetical game some additional replay value!

The creed of Classic is player choice, made no more obvious than by the invention of the stage select. Player choice is expanded by the freedom one has to experiment with special weapons. Even later, they gave us a shop system.

Why not take it a step further and introduce choice to the navigation? To the problem-solving?

That doesn't even have to be the central campaign, please leave the buster and the copy chip unchanged, I'm just saying I don't want to need them! Let me practice what he preaches, damnit!

#mega man #megaman #game talk #I know I'm not the first person to think about this #X game with that same framework would also kick ass

That's a REALLY large area to cover. Look at that vague block of a marker. That's spanning at least half the South. Compact ass holographic globe.

I'm hoping it's Texas or New Mexico. Or Colorado. Rock living in view of the Rockies is too perfect.

Shit, they're like, right up in the hills, huh? Maybe that is west Colorado. Crested Butte or something.

BTW...

Wherever Light Labs is, it's landlocked, so where's this supposed to be?

Obviously it's a coastal city. Mostly flat, nasty-looking night air, not far from a mountain range separated from it by the sea... Is it Jersey City? No, wait, maybe Long Island? Somewhere south in Nassau County so that it's right up against Queens? Is that whose skyline we're dealing with? There's a chance. Queens wasn't a Manhattan lookalike in '86, '87 when this game was being developed.

Of course, I'm super shit at visualizing geography. I could be way off. That could be fucking Detroit for all I know.

What I'm sure of is that wherever that is, it's not landlocked, and it takes 12 hours on foot at a running pace without stopping to cross a visible mountain range, seaside, and urban downtown.

That's one Hell of a jump, Tommy. From the smog of the big city to blue skies and grassy knolls?

The Mega Man X series is a science fiction famous for its cutting, realistic sociopolitical commentaries on war, tech philosophy, civil rights, and humanity. Its core themes bravely highlight the underlying truths of our modern society.

The cops always win, especially when they're wrong.

Furries and scalies are an oppressed minority.

raylotus

If it's any consolation, most of those furries were those former cops.

Sigma and the original 8 Mavericks

Flame Stag

Magna Centipede

Wheel Gator

Bubble Crab

Overdrive Ostrich

Blast Hornet

Gravity Beetle

Magma Dragoon (this bastard especially deserved the smoke)

Practically all of Repliforce

Squid Adler

So technically, it's a far more accurate portrayel of cops. Abuse of power, rampant corruption and terrorism, the works.

overdrivescramble

I have an amendment to make.

3. Furries and scalies are an oppressed minority that are only absolved of prejudice once they work for the cops.

Though I will say it's nuts how many of these ex-cops are animal Reploids.

There's like a handful of humanoids you need to kill. Sigma is one. There's Vile. There's Mac. Iris & Colonel. They're all plot-relevant antagonists though, not 8 interchangeable rogues on a turnstyle like the animal Reploids seem destined to be.

And anyway, why is the predisposal to crime so markedly high in those populations? Outside of like, Professor Gaudile, practically none of the anthros fill supporting roles, let alone serve as major characters on the """good""" side. They don't get the dignity of being everyday neutral NPCs either. (Unless, like I said at the top, they work in law enforcement.) It's suspicious that they're only visible when they're causing harm.

I mean, the Maverick(Irregular) Hunters, as a name, is a pretty messed up. It tells you everything you need to know right off the bat. We're hunting game. The dynamic between police and policed is hunter/wild animal to be captured and killed. We don't afford the same opportunities for repentance to those creatures as we do to our fellow lookalikes.

The dehumanization (de...civilization?) was conscious from its inception. Starting to think Irregular Hunter is code for hunting those with irregular bodies.

I'm about to become a conspiracy theorist. Catch me writing a dissertation about the insidious effects of human elitism in 21XX.

Not to have sympathy for the devils or anything, but I'll also say that of the couple of betrayals that were due to extenuating circumstances,

Magna Centipede was a prisoner of war, Sigma's forces locked him up and brainwashed him until he complied to their authority. Blast Hornet lost his mind from exposure to Dr. Doppler's rabies in Dopple Town. Or Sigma's rabies. Rather, Zero's rabies. They were Zero's rabies first.

neither of them are addressed any differently than those who went off the deep end to power trip, or attention seek. There's no dispute, no trial, they're just shot down with no chance at reconstruction. Both of them were in the 0th Unit, fancy that.

Speaking of Zero, it's funny that he gets away with spreading the world's worst virus to the highest ranked official on the force with no repercussions. What happened pre-X1 had ripple effects that cripple whole societies for the century to come. But rehabilitation was an option for him. He was fixed right up and catapulted to the top of the ranks on Sigma's orders. (Why is Dr. Cain taking his word, by the way? Didn't he know he was compromised?)

If he was a dragon-man or something, Zero would never have made it out of that mine(?) after slaughtering all those Reploids. He'd be put down -- for lack of better phrasing.

There's problems all up and down that chain of command that I hope have narrative consequences in-game someday:

The abuse of power stemming from the lack of checks and balances against the Hunter Association from the judicial system, if there even is one. They are judge, jury, and executioner and that sucks.

Private ownership. Period. (This provided they are privately owned, I might be making big assumptions here.)

The terrorism rooted in an inability to capitulate to a single demand or manage reasonable de-escalation tactics.

The disinclination of this benevolent peacekeeping organization to so much as acknowledge mental illness (faulty coding), and use their power to implement preventive maintenance for it. That's not even just the Maverick Virus, I mean whatever the Hell was wrong with Crush Crawfish. (Not a Hunter, but still.)

The rampant corruption justified with glaring double standards and the thin shield of "human preservation". In fact, everything is protected behind the parable of human preservation!

They're allowed to effectively conduct martial law because they serve a dependent, privileged few.

That's how they can excuse their nepotism (a la the circumstances of X's employment), inherent bias (against anthros), overreach (suppressing Repliforce as a movement should not have been their job), and lack of accountability (for their hiring practices and failure to do any thorough inner policing).

You can't tell me this doesn't have any effects outside of wartime.

Crazy demonstrations of mass endangerment like the ones Sigma orchestrates would facilitate the spread of militarist fear-based propaganda that cuts down on nuance and keeps their authority unquestioned. They could sell people on bullshit like "anthros are innately dangerous", using the outliers to shape public opinion, leading to fear, leading to increased presence, which is more money in their pockets.

...

Soooo it's just like real life without the laser cannons and hover bikes. You were right, no further comment. XD

Nicknaming in the Rock Man Fandom

In JP Mega Man--rather, Rock Man circles, nicknaming conventions can go one of a couple ways.

You can shorten their name to its first two syllables (I would say the first two characters, but it doesn't always work out that way).

EXAMPLE A: メタルマン(Metal Man) can become メタ(Meta). You can further diminute this to メタくん(Meta-kun). Or corrupt it into メッたん(Mettan), I've seen that too.

EXAMPLE A-2: ケンタウロスマン(Centaur Man) can become ケンタ(Kenta). I've seen ケンタちゃん(Kenta-chan) used to refer to Ikehara's Mulan-style Centaur Woman.

Or, and this might be the more popular route: you can use kanji as shorthand. It's pretty funny.

overdrivescramble

Well, I said I'd be back with a list! Have at ya! Straight from the notepad app. It's all fucked up out of order, 'cause my method was "mark shit down as you see it". Just mainline series bots here, besides the Stardroids. AFAIK, the Mega Man Killers, the Genesis Unit, the support class, the Dark Men, Ra Thor/Moon, Bass, Auto, nor Duo have nicknames, but if I find out they do, I'll come back and tack 'em on somewhere. For the record: fan consensus isn't always there for less popular robot masters. I starred the kanji I've only seen once or twice. Coincidentally, those guys are also prone to have their nicknames use the chopped katakana method.

(Lil' translations on the sides of these, just 'cause.)

Robot Masters vs. Loss & Grief - A Ranty Thinkpiece(?)

TL;DR: Call me crazy, but I think maybe an industrial humanoid robot conceives of death a liiiiiittle differently than how we conceive of death. Maybe they're not as advanced as Reploids, so maybe their simulated emotions are less ingrained into their identity and as such are more shallow than ours. Maybe they don't get it at all. Maybe we're anthropomorphizing the robot experience a little too much. Maybe I'm not a scientist and I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about. Maybe I say maybe too much.

QUICK MAN CONFIRMED FOR SEXIEST MAN ALIVE.

クイックマン

▷QUICKMAN

エレキマンのノウハウをうけついだ、ナンバーワンのすばやさをほこる戦闘ロボット。高いジャンプ力とブーメランの正確なサーチ力により、攻撃の死角はゼロ。シリーズ中でも1、2をあらそう美形で、正々堂々とした勝負を好む戦士だ。

▲特殊武器はクイックブーメラン。高速で発射するぞ。

▷QUICK MAN

Having succeeded Elec Man's expertise, this combat robot master boasts top of the line speed. High-jump capacity and boomerangs with accurate homing ability ensure an attack with zero dead angles. He is one of the most (beautiful/good-looking) in the series, and a fighter who likes to battle fair and square, victory or defeat.

▲His Special Weapon is the Quick Boomerang. It fires at a super high speed.

AND ANOTHER. In case you're not convinced.

DWN012 クイックマン "おれは、正々堂々と勝負をする!"

エレキマンの能力をうけついだ、すばやさナンバーワンの美形ロボット。

特殊武器: クイックブーメラン (小型カッターのブーメランをたくさん発射!) 弱点: タイムストッパーに弱い。

DWN012 QUICKMAN "Win or lose, I'll fight you fair and square!"

Having succeeded the abilities of Elec Man, this (good-looking/beautiful) robot master is ranked number one in speed.

Special Weapon: Quick Boomerang (A small-size cutter that fires many boomerangs!)

Weak Point: Weak to the Time Stopper.

If you're here from here, welcome. These are more pictures I found on Twitter. Proof positive that I'm not fucking with you. Quick Man is Mega Man 2's Prince Charming. It's canon. Capcom said so. ... ...I should probably confirm my sources before I say shit like that. 'Cause I don't know what the Hell these scans are from. XD Memories/Perfect Memories is my best guess, but I don't have those books. If anyone has any answers, let me know.

WHOOPS HOW'D THAT GET THERE.

uncannyzuck

I MEAN

overdrivescramble

So someone did already cover the database logs, I'll be damned!

It's stupid funny that THIS is the information that's prioritized about Quick Man as opposed to everyone else. I have so many questions. Why? Why's he the only one whose looks get complimented? Why's he handsome and not Shadow Man? (He's got the same face/body type!) Who wrote these database entries? Dr. Light? What or who's his source on "so very handsome"? Who's opinion is this? They just say it like it's common knowledge!

...Then again, maybe it is.

What a ....dreamboat.

Database Cards for the 16 Robot Masters in Super Adventure Rock Man

Someone posted these on Twitter. I don't see translations anywhere, so bam. There's more for the minor enemies and Ra Thor. I'd like to cover them all eventually. (BTW: Every instance of robot here, I substituted with robot master just 'cause I'm used to calling them that.

Light Labs Culture vs. Wily Castle Culture

(光) A human's word is law. Whatever a human explicitly orders you to do should be done, unless it brings harm to another human or conflicts with your survival. Your creator is the final authority if there is any room for interpretation.

(狡) Dr. Wily's word is law. Whatever Dr. Wily explicitly orders you to do should be done, even if it brings harm to another human that isn't Dr. Wily or conflicts with your survival. Your creator is the only authority regardless of interpretation.

(光) If Dr. Light is unavailable for any reason, Rock is next in the chain of command. If Rock is away, you answer to Roll. If Roll is away, then Auto. Auto's never away.

(狡) If Dr. Wily is unavailable for any reason, anyone looking to take charge dukes it out for position. The losers go on maid duty. No one's obligated to listen to you even if you do win, btw.

(光) Feel free to approach Dr. Light if there's something on your mind. Barring those times he's especially busy, he's always happy to lend his creations some insight. Trust in his compassion and saintly patience.

(狡) If you're not about to tell him you destroyed Mega Man or kidnapped the President, don't bother Dr. Wily unless you want his foot up your pipes. Solve your own damn problems.

(光) Dr. Light schedules routine diagnostic checks for everyone, in the same order, every time. Outside of urgent danger, no-one jumps the line on account of preferential treatment.

(狡) Dr. Wily keeps up with his favorites, and only when he feels like it. If you got something to say about it, impress him and earn your updates like a MAN.

(光) When you see a friend in need, and you have the expertise to lighten their load, it's only right to offer a helping hand.

(狡) When you see a friend in need, heckle them. It'll encourage them to do better. If that's not working, kick 'em off the job and do it the right way.

(光) If you arrive at a conflict, there's no reason it should come to blows. Be civil and talk through your problems until you both reach the root of your contention.

(狡) If you arrive at a verbal conflict, escalate it to a physical one. Whoever wins is right and whoever loses gets to look like a little bitch.

(光) Effectively communicate your boundaries to your loved ones. Reinforce them whenever you understand they're being breached.

(狡) Listening to crybabies when they tell you to stop makes you almost as much of a little bitch as the crybaby himself.

(光) If a friend tells you something in confidence, you're expected to uphold that confidentiality.

(狡) Keep a secret unless it's funny. If you're smart, no one has to find out. Otherwise nobody likes you.

(光) Be supportive of one another's interests even if you aren't personally involved with their hobbies.

(狡) You have a right and responsibility to shut up anybody doing soft shit, 'cause it makes us all look bad.

(光) If you see something, say something. Once you're aware, it's your duty to report any crimes in progress to law enforcement. Or Rock if he's present.

(狡) Snitches get stitches. Just sayin'.

(光) If you have nothing nice or constructive to say, don't say it at all. Respect keeps community strong.

(狡) Talk shit all day long, but don't be a coward -- do it up front. Gossip's for sissies.

(光) Forgiveness is a mark of strength, and emotional maturity. Forgiveness empowers us and allows us the choice to move forward from pain.

(狡) NEVER ever EVER let someone convince you they changed. If they fucked you over once, they'll do it again if you let 'em.

(光) War is Hell.

(狡) War is the only proof you have value in this world.

(光) We don't condone lying, cheating, theft, fraud, assault with or without a deadly weapon, aiding, or abetting. These Labs are on the side of law and order, and so are you.

(狡) Play chicken with crazy war crimes for funsies. It's bonding.

(光) Keep in mind what you say and do in front of the press. People hold this establishment in great esteem, and it reflects poorly on the professor to smear that national image.

(狡) Fuck those news rats! They're all shills for the cops anyway, use 'em for target practice if you come across one.

(光) Be kind to Blues if you see him around. He's one of us, and if he knows he's loved, there's a chance he might come home someday.

(狡) If you see Proto Man, remind that fake motherfucker he's on borrowed time. Even if you're cool with him. (Don't admit that.)

(光) The only excuse for violence is self defense. In that case, if there must be retribution, it must be proportional to the crime.

(狡) Violence is always the answer! Especially if it's over the top!

(光) Treasure your friends. Friendship is something to be celebrated. Rejoice that which enriches your AI and brings you closer to humanity.

(狡) If someone calls you a ""friend"" outright, they want your money or your schematics. Put that creep in their place.

(光) Dr. Wily's robots can be rehabilitated with time and careful attention. Don't let your anger for their actions outweigh the worth of their potential.

(狡) Dr. Light's robots should be captured and reprogrammed. They're surprisingly powerful and definitely worth the struggle.
