Title: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Xzeemo on 19 May 2008, 03:08:06 For me this is a really tough decision, I loved the way that the X series characters appeared as well as the way that the Zero/ZX series characters turned out. Starforce and BN were a little too puny looking with most of their characters and Legends was a little too bland in a way. Classic will always be great because of the cartoony look it has. So I guess I'm going to have to pick the X series.

He means X. Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: ASR on 19 May 2008, 11:38:02 I chose Classic, despite its varying art styles over the years. I've liked them all.
Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: ChaosVortex on 19 May 2008, 14:54:20 (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a I looked at that, pondering, and then I totally felt stupid as I thought "Wait a minute, I just took a Precalculus Final Exam. Damnit..." Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: TheRedPriest on 19 May 2008, 15:10:45 as well as the way that the Zero/ZX series characters turned out. Your right to an opinion has just been officially revoked. Please leave it with the guard at the entrance of the Mauling Tent. Thank you. Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Xzeemo on 19 May 2008, 15:38:05 *sigh*
The characters overall looks were alright, maybe not in the games, but I like the way they look in concept and artist forms. Not all of them, just some. Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Abominator on 19 May 2008, 16:30:55 Classic.
Everything else is too busy, except for Legends which is too samey. Z/ZX things look a LOT better as sprites than as art, also. ...or a lot more hetero anyway... Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: TheRedPriest on 19 May 2008, 17:32:53 I think you've been drinking turpentine again Abe...
Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Abominator on 19 May 2008, 19:40:06 Look, they look a lot more Xish when they're sprites than when they're in full on AIDS-tween-vision as art.
... Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: preventerWIND on 19 May 2008, 20:07:37 I love classic more now.. after looking at the Retro Roto's it made me think about the classic MM and how awesome and simple the art was.
Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Mikero on 20 May 2008, 06:47:39 Classic has the best combination of simplicity of form and raw style.
X is the second best but there's always a bit too much going on, especially with newer reploids. Not everyone needs 800 little doodads, it only helps them get more and more Gundam-y. Legends is OK but is pretty much the Taco Bell of designs; Everything is made from the same six ingredients. Almost everyone who isn't a huge character looks like the same person. Zero and ZX is gross. It's like the homo erotic pedophiles' wet dream version of Heavy Metal. Battle Network and Starforce is cookie cutter Capcom anime style. It's not bad for what it is but it's not really anything new or even different. Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Rama Olendris on 20 May 2008, 15:34:16 It's a tough call... I had a hard time choosing between X and Battle Network actually. Because this is personal opinion there can be no correct answer.
Looking specifically at the character designs alone- the X series certainly has variety in armor designs and antagonist designs not to mention some very memorable and highly recognizable characters. Meanwhile, the Battle Network series, although many of the designs are redundant, each navi has their own navi-mark, a specific design catered to them. Also in the BN series the characters are more smooth and clear in their designs- so there isn't much confusion as to what a certain part of their bodies do (like Dr. Doppler's shoulder wire... things). For this one, I have to say Battle Network had the best designs. Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Neo Arcadian Hero on 1 June 2008, 21:27:42 I liked X designs
Everything and Anything was a game design for that series. Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: The Otaku on 3 June 2008, 01:46:56 I can't choose between Classic and ZX. Classic's designs were kept simple throughout their many changes, yet they always looked neat and tidy, so to speak. But ZX's designs looked more appealing because of the fancy headgear and flashy colors.
Starforce's and BN's designs were simple in a plain way. Legends as well. And I can't say anything about X because unfortunately I haven't gotten a good look to analyze it. Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Mikero on 3 June 2008, 01:51:51 ZX "designs"?
First of all, you can't cosider ZX as having it's own style since it's clearly just reused MMZ stuff rinsed with some mildly new ideas... barely. Same thing as Starforce being a BN wash. Second of all, it sucks. Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: The Otaku on 3 June 2008, 01:54:42 Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Mikero on 3 June 2008, 02:07:27 The drawn stuff is kind of OK except every character from the neck down. The ideas aren't bad but the implementation is awful. EVERYONE has the body of a taut preteen Swedish boy and they all wear banana hammocks. Actual robot stuff looks OK. It's kind of like Pat Lee's art (He did Transformers comics for a bit, and did Iron Man: House Of M). He draws wicked robotics but his people don't fit.
Even so, the sprites are garbage and are annoying to work with to make into anything decent. Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: TheRedPriest on 3 June 2008, 18:04:31 You just hurt a bunch of sprite comic artist's feelings ;_;
Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Mikero on 3 June 2008, 20:35:09 Somehow my heart will go on.
Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: TheRedPriest on 3 June 2008, 21:00:20 ... you don't have a heart.
Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Mikero on 3 June 2008, 22:34:21 Nah, it's just that when MMZ came out it shrunk 3 sizes that day.
Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: ReploidQ on 14 July 2008, 19:37:07 Megaman Zero is my favourite look. Its not a tough as the X series, but overal I like the world, look and feel of the Zero series. Also its been a fun challenge to learn to draw these art style.
Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Johncarllos on 14 July 2008, 19:53:33 Oh, so you like anorexic little girls?
Because that's what every character in the Zero series looks like. (I personally don't hate it, but it IS NOT Megaman's look). Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: ASR on 14 July 2008, 20:13:45 It's quality art, yeah, but like John said, not MegaMan. It was not the right move.
Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Chron on 15 July 2008, 15:26:21 Classic has the best combination of simplicity of form and raw style. Why did I never see this? Anyway, Mikero's post expresses my opinion exactly. Classic has Wily. Wily is the coolest looking mother#####er in the entirety of Megaman. Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: ASR on 15 July 2008, 17:10:20 I've never been able to quite get over how #####ing awesome Wily is.
Like, I just don't understand how they managed to make him so awesome. I want to personally thank whoever at Capcom decided that his eyebrows needed to wiggle. Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: XJ on 17 July 2008, 15:58:36 I have a friend who thinks that Zero's design in the Zero series is better than his design in the X series.
I spontaneously punch him in the face whenever he says that. He's a Japanese-loving fantasy-rpg-obsessed computer-addicted kid who never really played the X series. It makes me sick sometimes. Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: preventerWIND on 17 July 2008, 16:02:07 I have the same kind of friend.. Well, he's not a friend, just a douche I know.
Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: ReploidQ on 18 July 2008, 04:11:18 What a hate out on the Zero series, Personally i prefer Zero in his own series becasue he is more fluid and smooth. while in the X series hes too boxy. tho his face and body type was a bad change. Overal he may not look as tough in the Zero series, but at least he dosnt have green jewl breasts and white micky mouse gloves anymore.
I am now prepared to be ripped on for my reply. Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: NovaMan XP on 18 July 2008, 04:19:21 Green orb boobs > 12 year old figure
That is all. Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Mikero on 18 July 2008, 06:24:44 What a hate out on the Zero series, Personally i prefer Zero in his own series becasue he is more fluid and smooth. while in the X series hes too boxy. tho his face and body type was a bad change. Overal he may not look as tough in the Zero series, but at least he dosnt have green jewl breasts and white micky mouse gloves anymore. I don't rip. I shred. But not tonight. On a later date however... Well. Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Chron on 18 July 2008, 14:13:51 ... MMZ Zero more fluid and smooth than MMX Zero?
I find that hard to believe. Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: XJ on 18 July 2008, 14:31:46 Well, Q seems to know a lot about the fluidity of twelve year olds. Does anyone else find this disturbing?
Just kidding, Q. We still love you. And that's why we're having this intervention about your problem(s). Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: MOX on 18 July 2008, 17:00:52 lol

...How is he not dead? Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Mikero on 19 July 2008, 06:18:23 We still love you. 'Love' is a strong term. And I'm not someone who is afraid of commitment. Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: saldite on 30 July 2008, 04:42:26 X had the best designs.
Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: TheRedPriest on 28 August 2008, 01:23:27 So you think the best series is borning to play? At least make it HARD for us to flame you.
Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Mikero on 28 August 2008, 01:26:11 Well he thinks the "best" LOOKING series is boring to play...
Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: preventerWIND on 28 August 2008, 02:16:45 I have somewhat the same feeling on the BN games, the Navi's look pretty damn cool. Even though I never play the games, I looked forward to the next one to see what the bosses would look like.
Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Abominator on 28 August 2008, 14:33:36 The first batch of BN characters were cool, but then things got way too busy as the series progressed...
Just like Classic, in fact. X designs have always been too busy... Legends designs are too bland... Zero designs are vomitous. Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: ChaosVortex on 28 August 2008, 19:19:48 I liked the busy designs actually, even though the Classic Robots still has a more "simple" hint to them (Including the Mega Man 8 robots). At least in my own opinion.
Legends is, eh. Battle Network has a mix of "yes and no". I guess Zero/ZX artwork can be good in it's own way, but compared to X and Classic, it's a pretty big step back. Star Force is just plain stupid. Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Mikero on 28 August 2008, 22:07:15 No no Abe is right. It's pretty much what I said before. So clearly if we both said it, it's pretty right. Chron agreed too. And I think The Big Bang agrees with us, which makes it holy law. So there. SO there.
Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Ice Wave on 28 August 2008, 23:16:30 I actually liked the Legends series designs. Especially the enemies; that includes the bosses, reaverbots, etc.
Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: preventerWIND on 28 August 2008, 23:21:02 They certainly had the best Roll.
MMZ is was a cool design, but not for a MegaMan series, I liked the weapon and enemy designs as well. The chain rod was one of my all time favorite weapons in the MM franchise. Loved every bit of it, except for the charge attack. Chain rod ≠ Spear Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Johncarllos on 29 August 2008, 02:38:22 Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: ASR on 29 August 2008, 04:50:17 As much as all the MMZ-style artwork raped what MegaMan SHOULD look like, those generic copy-X enemies with one red eye were always #####ing badass and looked awesome.
Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Mikero on 29 August 2008, 06:16:08 They remain the only thing I ever thought, or even came close to thinking, was cool about MMZ.
Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: preventerWIND on 29 August 2008, 06:21:53 Yeah, the Pantheons and their variations were always #####ing sweet. I hated how they took them out in Z4.
Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: ASR on 29 August 2008, 12:49:30 They weren't in MMZ4? Really?
Now I don't feel bad for not having played it. Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: ChaosVortex on 29 August 2008, 16:55:26 You mean you felt bad for not playing it in the first place?
Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: ASR on 30 August 2008, 05:54:06 I enjoyed the MMZ games. Less than the Classic and X games, but I enjoyed them nonetheless.

YOU ARE TOO SIMILAR TO NOVA. AAAHHHHH. Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Johncarllos on 14 November 2008, 03:10:56 The person responsible for Mega Man Zero's art design makes the art of Da Vinci, Picasso and Dali all look like borng, amateurish doggy poo poo. Are you serious? Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Johncarllos on 14 November 2008, 04:19:33 I'm not flaming, I was curious.
There are people..... I also thought it might just be a hyperbole on how much you like the Zero artwork. If it was a series in it's own right, with no connection to Megaman, then I'd appreciate the art a lot more. It's because it's Megaman series art that it's just not right. The design of every robot and reploid to that point followed a specific pattern, and this series changed something good. If I wasn't lead to believe that was Zero, I'd like it. Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Johncarllos on 14 November 2008, 04:42:49 Protip: Quote button works well too.
uh... I LIEK DE X SERIES DA BEST Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: preventerWIND on 14 November 2008, 05:46:00 I think I already said this buuut.. Zero series has a good design, it's not a good style for Mega Man exactly, but it's a very cool style none the less. The anorexic look can be worked on though, other than that I love the ideas and the concept.
As for people who dislike the Zero series, you'll find this board to be filled with people who hate it, Lamer. You should just learn to deal with it if it ever bothers you, as there's only a handful of people here who like it. Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs?

Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: preventerWIND on 14 November 2008, 20:04:26 He's talking about 4Chan..
Title: Re: Which Megaman Series Had The Best Character Designs? Post by: Mikero on 15 November 2008, 02:24:14 I'm actually not one for thinking people who disagree with my opinion are wrong (shocking news), but I have a hard thinking anyone who doesn't see eye to eye with me in this topic is of sound body and mind.
Of course, whatever "sound body and mind" really means is also debatable. And I'm probably not of it. XERO. Xero, Nova, and Chaos might as well quit screwing around (you all screw around too much) and just become the same person already. Like...are we all going to suffer eternal damnation or something if some guy likes MMZ's char designs?.....seriously. If some guy does, or if Someguy does? He's talking about 4Chan.. ... again. And just a side note; I'm never gonna even try to respect a website that doesn't want to give it's divisions actual #####ing titles. What the ##### does /b/ or /c/ or /abcdefghijklmopeepeepoopoocacahaha/mean? And the first person to tell me it's some kind of thing I'm not in on, not smart/geek/lame enough to get, or any other kind of dbag juicebox acting I seem to bring out in members of said community when trying to explain why these 4chan people are too lazy to name anything gets a trident to the colon. The hard way. I don't think I've heard someone try to explain this phenom like a human instead of a creature that is, for all intents and purposes, the reason people feel the need to carry rape whistles.
