Why is the red guy always better?

[Anonymous No.10421275]

Still fucshia for me. Also "rastafari" was a better name than Knuckles, and the possibility of it being a female tomboy type was kino

[Anonymous No.10421297]

Actually, it's the dark one who is always superior.

Just not in Sonics case, he manages to be the coolest in his universe.

they're not the protagonist so they get to be cool since you don't have to worry about progression as much.

Because this guy, let's be real. And before you say it, yes I know he's based on the Masked Racer from Mach GoGoGo, but he has clearly eclipsed the original in popularity.

He's okay but I usually choose Sanic

He's fun but not sure I would say better. I usually default to X

Red guy is usually just "better than the sidekick".

X is better than the NESjank games that were honestly, hardly even competently made compared to other platformers coming out. I like classic but it's becoming the most overrated series there is in retro circles, you like classic but you admit it's jank and full of glitches and shoddy shit, anything less than that is blind praise

Racer X wore a mask so his dad wouldn't figure out he was still alive. Char wears a mask because he's the son and legitimate successor of the guy who actually founded Zeon and needs to stay hidden so he can kill the ruling Zabi family for assassinating his father.

Also, Protoman is more based on Rock Holmes from Osamu Tezuka's works. They even look identical when he takes off his helmet.

They aren't better just edgier. Red is the color of the root chakra. Blue is the color of the throat chakra, a higher chakra. So the reason why they are "cooler" is because the red color makes you think a certain way. All of us are hardwired this way so unless you are aware it will have a subtle subconscious effect on your mind. I like Mega Man, X, and Sonic better than the character you posted. They are cool sidekick or friend/support character though.

I honestly believe they should have used Mighty instead of Shadow in SA2 as sonic’s doppelgänger. I mean, he’s also black & red and armadillos are the only other mammal that balls up like hedgehogs.

Fuck off, the X series is stiff and loosey goosey compared to NES games. In the NES games the platforming was tight and precise, you either make the jump or don't, in the X series "just jump roughly over there or something whatever". The X series was a step back gameplay wise.

The Red Baron died before he could join the NSDAP.

You could also say Zeon are more like American colonists since their motive is independence. Honestly the feddies are the bad guys.

The opposite is true, in the X games you feel you have full control over your character. In the NES games you feel like you're playing in a world with 10 times normal gravity

[Anonymous No.10423250]

>>10422784
The X series emphasized action more than the platforming. Which is why he has the wall cling ability. It comes down to which you prefer for a Megaman game, platforming or action. Problem with the X series is how it declined in quality.

I actually like the X series gameplay better since I feel like it suits the spirit of what Mega Man is about but as games the classic series is obviously much better there is no denying that.

In what way
>graphics
More refined in X
>controls
More refined in X
>gameplay
More refined in X

The only argument for thinking classic is better is ye olde "i only play hard games" shit because yes, MMX games are often fairly breezy until the end. But when it comes to objective quality, I don't see how classic MM even holds a candle. It was a lot of typical 8 bit jank they clearly didn't put much thought into programming and were more concerned with just pumping out game after game instead of play testing.

It would have been just fine if there was a this side is bad and this side was bad. However, trigger warning, they wanted to add depth to the series so there are good guys and bad guys on both sides. The powerful always sought more power on both sides and they could always rationalize it.

Fair point. I always thought the Mega Man games were action platformers and the platforming in the X series was a complete joke. I still feel a lot of the 16bit games felt stiff compared to 8bit games due the larger sprite size and sprite animations. I want to like the X games, I just don't. It doesn't feel like Mega Man.

The classic MM games are much better made. You can't really say there is god awful level design in any of the games to the extent that the X series later sank to. I would even say the game balancing as far as difficulty is a lot better in the classic series. I seriously did enjoy 1-6 and they are S-rank NES games in my book. MM 7 and 8 I would need to play again but they are decent from my memory at the very least. I always hear MM 9 and 10 are also good. Even hear the same about 11. Maybe its a lot of the same with the classic series but it isn't broke and its good so no need to fix what doesn't need fixing.
>graphics
Well of course X wins here it was a 16-bit console vs 8-bit.
>controls
The MM controls are fine. Its only two buttons and the gameplay is mostly smooth. But yeah I would say the X games are more fun.

That is the thing I find the X games more fun but the MM series is just a lot better made because it didn't shit the bed halfway through the series.
