/vr/ - Retro Games

If there's Mets in the Mega Man X games, who's making them?
Can they think, feel, and make their own decisions like Reploids can?

Why didn't Megaman just teleport to the robot master's chamber?

Why didn't Dr. Light just have Mega Man shoot mini-nukes out of his buster?

>>637915
Why didn't Megaman just teleport to Dr. Wily?

Where did Dr. Light find the time to build like 500 capsules, think of unique upgrades for all of them, then hide them in not-so-discrete places around the world, places where Mavericks just HAPPEN to build their bases?

>>637925
He would lose without the weapon upgrades

>>637932
His identity is basically a digital sentience at this point and produces the capsules based on when and where they are needed.

>>637925
Why didn't Megaman just teleport to the credits?

Replayed MM4 today, great game, forgot how fucking funny this motherfucker is. WHY DOESN'T HE SHOOT THE GOD DAMN ARM CANNON

Best robot master? Yeah.

>>637904

What were the robot masters doing? They're not doing anything bad they're just in their boss rooms chilling out.

>>637957
Sounds like something form a TAS video.

>>637932
Why did no one in Storm Eagles Airport wonder where the fuck this capsule came from?

>Runs back and forth
>Doesn't follow you
>Shoots straight ahead, hoping to hit you
>Big, pitch black sunglasses
YFW Protoman is blind

>>638148
Besides terrorizing California?

>>638190
11/10 I now view this as fact.

Why didn't Mega Man just kill the Joker?

Why didn't Mega Man just keep all the abilities he acquired from the previous robot masters?

>>638190
Makes sense

>>638369
Not enough ram.

Does anyone else find Mets kind of hot? Just look at that mouth, it's begging for a cock

There was a really decent Mega man thread on /v/ last night.

Lots of awesome pictures too. It was mostly X, Zero and ZX stuff though.

This thread needs moar Frodo

>>638410
I forgot my picture, whoops
You wish you were this rad.

>>638190
Don't forget that he wears shades UNDER HIS HELMET

>>638420
holy mother of fuck I want him to fuck my wife so my child can be 50% of him.

>>638420
Proto man makes my dick shoot off like a rocket in all different directions. I sometimes have to tie my other two dicks around it so it wont go anywhere next time I hump my pillow when getting off to Mega man porn.

>>638440
>I hump my pillow
Whoa bro, slow down.

the whistle is echolocation

>Playing Mega Man 3 last week
>Haven't played it since I was a kid
>Get to Protoman fight
>Stay still and fire
>Every 2nd shot hits him
>Nothing hits me
>Beat him like this

B-bye, I guess.

>>638494
He let you win.

Alright, so we take some regular robot master.

Generic Man.

Mega Man goes through the level, gets to the boss

THREE OF THESE WITH UPGRADED ARMOR AND CANNONS POP OUT OF NOWHERE

TURNS OUT GENERIC MAN WAS JUST A BUNCH OF POTS AND PANS TAPED TOGETHER

MEGA MAN DIES

WE ALL GO TO IHOP AFTER WITH THE GOOD DOCTOR WILY

>>638837
go home ur drunk

>>638858
Shut up, Dr. Light.

Did Rock know about X when Dr. Light was building him?

>>637904
No. They're mechaniloids.

>>637957
Why doesn't Megaman just teleport out of being cancelled?

Why doesn't Dr. Wily just control Megaman?

Why don't they just SHOOT Wily?

Why doesn't Superman just put the whole world in a bottle?

>>638956
Why don't you go play Barbie Horse Adventures

>>638927

>>638956

Read the nu52 Superman. That's actually a big plot point in it. And it's one of the better books anyways.

>>639021
Except not even three seconds later Megaman says he doesn't care and attempts to blast Wily.

>>639427
No, he says "....."
Localization is a pain, they also removed scenes with Roll and Auto.

Why don't they make planes with the same stuff black boxes are made out of?

Also I think he tried that, it resulted in a robot that couldn't attack without hurting itself

>>639021
Well Asimov's rule, but I guess you would have to know who that is.

>>639021
This is such bullshit, Wily is shown making robots that have to harm humans ALL THE TIME. If they didn't, it wouldn't be much of an army.

Also if Rock is an Asimov robot, does that mean Wily could have stopped him all along by just telling him to stand down? He has to listen to Wily, he's a human.

Also is it implying that Mega Man would be defeated by Dr Wily just hiring someone to sit in his newest robot and just having it shoot at Mega Man constantly?

>>639515
He could defeat the robot. Just not harm the human.

>>639453
The entire "I DON'T CARE! PREPARE TO DIE WILY!!!" thing was just added in for Americans?

>>639514
I don't have to, his laws are in every movie or media about robots.

>>639520
How does that work at all, Asimov bots couldn't even sneeze incorrectly if it meant that a human was in any risk of danger. Wily gets tossed around and battered every game because of his silly contraptions.

It would still mean that Rock would have to listen to him unquestioningly as well.

I think dragging asimov logic into this whole thing was a bad move by inafune or whoever decided it initially.

>>639519
Well, indeed it was.

Choose one.

>>639602
Well they can catch the flu, right?

>>639695

>>637890

>>639725
How is this even a thing.

>>639764
I've been on 4chan a long ass time, son.

That shit is from a /v/ of many years ago. Things were simpler back then. Until I saw this thread I'd forgotten I'd even saved it.

>>639783
got anymore retro /v/?

>>637904
I think that only the bosses are reploids, all the regular enemies and mid bosses are regular robits.

>>639895

You can go on and on with questions like this, especially for Mega Man.

>why not a level entirely made of spikes?

>>639968
why not just have the game boot to a game over screen?

Wow, this board doesn't even have a million post yet. Why didn't moot shut it down?

>>639515
To be fair, Wily isn't exactly going to code his bots with the three laws.

>>640006
Slow boards with good discussion > fast boards with nothing but trolls trolling trolls

>>637890

Mega Man could still hit them with Rain Flush.

>>639519
It was the only character development he's ever had.

WAIT
WAIT

WHAT THE FUCK IS WOOD MAN?

>>640158
he's a stump.

>>640191
He's stump
He's stump
He's stump
He's in my head

>>637890
Because they were the only ones with a decent union.
No-one else has the job security that would prevent Wily from firing them if they complained about the unsafe workplace conditions.

>>640201
he might be dead

Wily also has a Jew nose.
/pol/ was right again!

>Mets

>not Hardhat Hooligans

is this some PAL bullshit?

>>640660
Thats an unofficial name.

>>637890
This is a fan explaination, but I like it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQnOCHdqjiU
what do you guys think of this?
>posting in a dead thread

>>638837
Denny's has better pancakes.

Why does Wily build his robots to be weak to one another? Why doesn't he pick up on this fact?
Why didn't he built 8 Crash Mans?

>>639021
Localization Laughing Stock

>>642669
>why would he make metal man's weapon so strong?

also these burning questions

>why doesn't dr.wiley focus on making cheaper robots to out sell light and ruin him long term, instead of designing entire areas to compliment them and never revisit them again? who's more important then?

most people can name steve jobs and bill gates before they can name last years nobel laureates

>what university gave wiley his doctorate after the events of one?

>why do spikes kill mega man? they're just pointy + gravity, he gets beaten within an inch of his life fighting robots who can attack, spikes just chill there. why not just go between them? rounded parts can't hurt.

>>640690

According to who? Milliennials who read Wikipedia? I had only ever seen them called/heard of them called Hardhat Hooligans all throughout the fucking 90's, maybe you actually had to be there to notice

>>644803
>How come Dr. Wily didn't make all his robot masters out of the same material he made Met's hats?
>Seems like a pretty obvious way to get rid of Mega Man once and for all...
they have a name?

>>644803
Nintendo Power referred to them as Mets. Plus that is the only name I've ever heard them called. I've never heard the Hardhat Hooligans until this thread in fact.

>>637932
My theory was that there were always those four capsules, and they would relocate whenever it detected X going into battle.

>>642669
He probably doesn't do it deliberately, it's just a part of their design.

Like, let's take some weaknesses:
> Time Stopper beats Quick Man
Quick Man works at high speeds, so stopping time causes an overheat
> Top Spin beats Shadow Man
It says that Shadow Man has learned every technique Mega Man knows, so the Top Spin catches him off-guard
> Flash Stopper beats Pharaoh Man
Pharaoh Man is a tomb-exploring robot, so bright lights are probably bad for his visual systems

>>642669
It's not a weak point--I like to think of it as more of a character flaw. People and weapons just aren't complete without a character flaw, don't you think?

>>642669
man, 8 crash men would kick my buster-wielding ass so hard

but think of the dance party

>>642669
>crash man
>hard
what

How come everyone hates on X6 for having shitty design but no one ever really talks about X8's? It's not quite as bad, but there are so many bullshit moments in most stages. Not to mention it controls like shit. At least X6 felt satisfying control-wise.

>>640158
A man made from robotic trees.

>>639725
It could also be argued that the compound is so heavy they can only make tiny robots that lift and manuever a small dome of it, which is why they can't move unless they stand up and leave themselves vunerable
