Official Megaman General Discussion Topic v4

[Magical Girl Mimi]

I got tired of it dying every second month. =P

What do people think of the info we've got of Operate Shooting Star? It's a Crossover Remake from the looks of it.

[The Host]

What is this information? And maybe you should have official topics for many games(GH/RB, Zelda, Mario etc. so that during innactivity they don't get locked or whatever).

MMZ series in really fun. I can play it over and over again and its still enjoyable(although MMZ4 is hard on Hard Mode when you have to fight Craft the first time >_>)

[Magical Girl Mimi]

We've got scans, and a new site for OSS. As soon as I get the link, I'll post it here. Site doesn't have much just yet, but it only just got put up.

Ryuusei Rockman appears in the EXE timeline, specifically EXE 1's world, and that's just about all we know, except you can control Ryuusei Rockman in it, not sure about EXE Rockman yet. There's also a new character, called "Clockman"(Who gets his own area that Ryuusei, EXE, Roll, and Harp Note appear in), and Ryuusei Rockman appears in front of Mayl and Lan in his Rockman form saying that he goes by Rockman 200 years in the future. Also, there was a lead-up to the site update on the Ryuusei 3 site, a wizard called 'Clark' gets a 'Clock Program' installed in him by a certain character, and gets pulled into a time hole. There's probably more that I've forgotten though. Awesome new opening movie though, from the screenshots shown of what we figure it is though.

[The Host]

Wait, I'm not good with all the Rockman names...

Is this gonna be a crossover of MMBN and MMSF?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

This is the crossover. Operate Shooting Star. It's a Crossover Remake of BN1. And Ryuusei is Geo, and EXE is... Well... EXE.

[Ddude The Insane]

I've never played Megaman. Maybe I should try it out some time...

Honestly, I think they made too many games for Megaman. =P

[Magical Girl Mimi]

You can never have too many games for any series. If you're gonna make that statement, then Pokemon, Mario, Legend of Zelda, and a few other series have too many games as well. Plus, it is a good series, and fans want new content.(Plus, when they release a BN timeline game every year, it tends to add up quickly. )

[Ddude The Insane]

True...

but what is the plot of Megaman?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Classic Timeline:
Megaman Classic: Fight against Robot Masters made by the evil Doctor Wily.
Megaman X: Fight against the out of Control Mavericks sent and infected by the evil Sigma as either X or Zero, or later a New Generation Reploid called Axl.
Megaman Zero: Join the resistance against Neo Arcadia as the Newly revived Zero to have equality for Reploids and Humans. The Four Sages, Leviathan, Phantom, Fefnir(Is that right...?), and Harpuia, make their debut in this series.
Megaman ZX/ZXA: The BioMetals, which contain the data or such of the legendary warriors of the past(X, Zero, Harpuia, Leviathan, Phantom, and Fefnir, Models X, Z, H, L, P, and F respectively.) choose special 'Chosen Ones', which are special Humans or Reploids, to transform into remakes of the old characters to fight against Model W.
Megaman Legends(Rockman D.A.S.H.): The Digger Megaman Volnutt and his communicator Roll explore islands trying to find a hidden treasure called the 'Mother Lode' along with trying to find Roll's missing parents. Along the way though, it's revealed that Megaman Volnutt is actually a 'purifier unit' called Megaman Trigger...

Battle Network/EXE timeline
Megaman Battle Network(Rockman EXE): Lan(Netto) Hikari, and his Net Navi, Megaman.EXE(Rockman.EXE) go on the net to save the world around 6 times from internet threats, as everything is connected to the internet. Classic and EXE split here because in Classic, Robotics was funded, whereas in EXE, Internet Technology was funded instead.
Megaman Star Force(Ryuusei no Rockman): 200 years have passed since Megaman Battle Network, and technology has vastly improved, with people now able to form special bonds with other people called 'BrotherBands'. The main character, Geo Stelar(Subaru Hoshikawa) lost his dad 3 years before the first game, causing him to cut off almost all contact with the outside world until an alien from the Planet FM named 'Omega-Xis'(Warrock) appears. From there on, he transforms with Omega-Xis to become Megaman(Shooting Star Rockman). In the third game, he's assigned a Trans-Code to be able to transform anywhere, and his TransCode is 003.

Special Crossover game(Rockman EXE: Operate Shooting Star): See the details in the posts above for what we know right now.

[The Host]

Fefnir is correct, although the Four Guardians also have pre-names:
-Sage Harpuia(hense my username)
-Fighting Fefnir
-Fairy Leviathan
-(Hidden) Phantom (Not sure about this, since the other 3 names are actually in game(MMZ2) but since Phantom isn't alive then he isn't mentioned by it)

And to elaborate on Plot for MMZ:

MMZ1: Megaman Zero must fight to save a resistance of reploids and a human from the City of Neo Arcadia, which is ruled by Copy X (Copy Megaman X)
MMZ2: The search for the Dark Elf and continued fighting against Neo Arcadia.
MMZ3: Omega returns alongside Dr Weil, and Neo Arcadia becomes bent on war with Copy X MK2 and Weil leading the city.
MMZ4: Dr Weil unleashes 'Ragnarok' upon the area surrounding Area Zero. Megaman Zero must defeat the 8 warriors of Weil and stand up to Weil himself.

I would now like to play some Megaman X, but its old, and I'm not sure I have the right systems for it.

And why is the evil person in Megaman games usually begin with W( Wily, Weil, WWW and the one from BN)?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

... You mean Wily? =P And not every villain does, like Sigma, plus Weil's Japanese name is Vile.

[The Host]

Sure, it might be Wily...
And I was mostly referring to the English versions(which is all I can understand).

and I did say usually Sigma was mentioned in MMZ2 by Pheonix Magnion(sp?), and until now I didn't know who it was.

Have you played all of the series?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

You could say I have. I played MMX Collection, but only beat X4-6, and X 7 and X8. X1-3 were so hard... =/

[Ddude The Insane]

Really Blade. Just give up on making these Megaman topics. We all know they'll just die. xP

Lockified.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Unlocked. *Points at official tag*

[Ddude The Insane]

0_o I didn't realize the words "official" made it immortal.

Really...you can just make a new one. And sticky it. It can't die that way. =P

Anyway....I'm thinking about getting MMSF9 on wiiware. Seems good.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Official topics don't die. Especially when the word's put there by an admin.

And it probably would anyway.

Megaman 9? That sounds like it's a good game, but I couldn't comment myself... I have no Wii. I lack Wii. I am Wii-less. </fawfulparody>

[The Host]

I am considering getting a MMSF3 game, but not sure which one.

Probably the one that you don't have Blade. Which one do you have again?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

I have Black Ace. So you should get Red Joker, and it'd match Saurian's colour. Say, I should probably get to playing that again and get those last few cards(... asdf they took out the mail stuff >> Meh, gives it more challenge).

Also, I made a very interesting observation. One of the characters from either Megaman Extreme 1 or 2 gave inspiration for one of the characters in MMSF3 I think. It's the one who Wave Changes with Virgo's Wave Changed form. Very similar 0_o

[The Host]

Okay. I'll probably get Red Joker within 1-2 weeks(if I can find it).

And I only started playing Megaman Games during Battle Network and the beginning of MMZ.

EDIT: picked up Red Joker yesterday. Pretty good so far(although the first part was exactly like MMSF2 with fighting the 3 mettaur viruses to learn how to play).
Noise changes look interesting, although I'm still not sure I completely understand the whole concept. But I'll get used to it as I play into the game.
