The MBoard

This topic exists in the hope that newcomers to MMM will not clog the forum with one-question topics, and topics that have already been raised several times.

Basically, it exists to solve simple pleas, so if you're looking for help in a Classic Series game, or you have a simple question about this series, ask it here.

This more of an art inquiry, but...

Does anyone have a picture of Punk? I vaguely remember having an official picture of Punk, that I can't find.

It was black and white, the other Megaman Killers had one too. It was in the original style, he was short and stubby, not tall like in the MM&B CD gallery.

It kinda looked like that sprite Morgan made for MChat.

Closest I can find to the actual artwork (MegaMan & Bass CD).

WHY, OH WHY?! WHY DID THEY HAVE TO SWITCH THE FIRE AND JUMP BUTTONS ON THE GAMECUBE VERSION OF AC?!?!

I still bought it, but that doesn't mean I can't complain about having to play clawgrip-style, with my index and middle fingers doing the jumping and shooting.

Why not just alter the control settings in the options?

There isn't any options on the GCN version of MMAC to swap the controls properly.

As for why this happened, it's because CoA LOVES their fans, and they outsourced to diseased monkey people that partly knew how to code.

Ah. I didn't know that, well I knew the game was done poorly. Didn't know about the lack of options, since CoE never released it here.

Hmm... BTW, which version of MMAC and MMXAC should I buy? I'm thinking of getting both (finally) but I'm not sure if I should buy the PS2 or GCN versions of both.

Just wondering... if I get the GCN versions, my Wii is set up all the time to be played whenever. If I get the PS2 version, well, I have to switch it all up, so I'm wondering which version is best.

Depends on whether you're willing to put up with reversed jump and fire buttons.

I swear to you here and now, Hunter, that if you even DARE get the GCN version of MMAC, and even the MMXC, that I shall deem you a man that enjoys inferior quality, and will swarm your domicile with cheap $10 AMERICAN DOLLAR women.

MMAC on PS2 offers...

Complete Work Soundtracks where Available on the first three games, and Megaman 4 onward are completely remixed.
The SAME control scheme that you're used to, and I think even a Custom Setup.
MM8 Cutscenes aren't compressed horribly, so there's no note worthy degrades in picture and sound.
YOU GET MEGAMAN CARTOON EPISODE UNLOCK LAWLZ

MMXC has higher sound quality, and doesn't have poorly encoded X4 cutscenes, due to disc size woes and what have you.

There's a reason why MMAC for GCN is only $12 used, when it's $18 or so on PS2. There's profit on the PS2 front due to quality, while only shame and utter disgrace to both the store and the buyer when someone gets the GCN versions. So yes, don't be a cheap gimp. You have a WII for crying out loud! You CAN afford the price differences for a step up in quality!*

*As quality as poorly ported games with removed transparency effects and other 16-Bit deals as it gets, Capcom Style*

I've never played the anniversaries on the Gamecube so I can't judge there, but I have both for the PS2 and they're awesome. That's the system I'd recomend.

I was planning on getting MMXC eventually on the GC so I could play it on my Wii...

Is it really that much worse on the GC than on the PS2?

I haven't played the PS2 versions, but I own the GCN ones and I don't mind them. It takes a bit to get used to the strange controls for MMAC, but... well... actually, you'll never get used to them.

There's no real problems with MMXC, though. Sure, PS2 version has a bit better quality, but there's nothing WRONG with the GCN one.

Except for the wonky button layout, but that can be easily solved by moving fire to Y from B to more closely resemble a SNES layout.

I was used to the GCN MMAC layout, so when I played MMXC, B was to jump, A was to shoot, L was to dash, R was the Giga Attack, and X/Y were to change weapons.

I don't mind MMAC or MMXC on Gamecube at all, the MMAC button switch isn't good but you can get used to it (but you have to get used to it every time you boot up the game, really). I preferred the unlockable thing (I can't remember it now, was it the music gallery thing?) in the GC MMAC to the episode of the MM cartoon mainly because you can rent/buy the MM Cartoon on DVD anyway and the first episode isn't anything special. If it was the last episode (X!) though, it would be a different story.

I really didn't notice that MM8's video quality was any worse than the actual PlayStation disc, but I've only ever really seen MM8 played in it's original once and that was just the opening video and stage at a friend's.

But still, since I know most people hate the GC controller in general (I personally have never minded it for anything), I recommend the PS2 version. If you don't mind GC controller then I honestly think it's up to what you'd like to unlock.

I have Both Megaman X collection and Megaman Anniversary collection for the same system Gamecube ,but i had to buy a Action Replay to play them because they are NTSC Format(American version).

Ive never noticed any problems with the controller configuration within either Anniversary collection or X collection ,also id reccomend the Gamecube version and definetly not the x-box version because the controller is too bulky & isn`t suitable for the game.

What were the different extras Which you could unlock between the x-box,GC & Ps2 versions of Anniversary collection?

How did you not notice that B is Jump and A is shoot, when it should clearly be the other way around?!

Also, necro-post.

Seriously, the board hasn't even been back for long enough to consider things necro-posts.

Not to mention, this topic is meant to be posted in even if the last post was from a year ago.

Double-good call.

VINCHENZ WE ARE NO LONGER "HOMIES"

You just made a horrible call. Suck it up.

Yeah, I looked at the title and thought "Necro post? Here? What?"

And for the question at hand...

I have Both "Megaman X collection" and "Megaman Anniversary collection" for the same system "Gamecube" ,but i had to buy a Action Replay to play them because they are NTSC Format(American version).

Ive never noticed any problems with the controller configuration within either" Anniversary collection"or "X collection",also id reccomend the Gamecube version and definetly not the x-box version because the controller is too bulky & isn`t suitable for the game.

What were the different extras Which you could unlock between the x-box,GC & Ps2 versions of Anniversary collection?

I'm not sure about the Xbox version, but the GCN version has music, pictures, and an interview of Keiji Inafune.

The PS2 version has and episode of the old cartoon Mega Man, I've heard.

As for MMXC, all the unlockables are the same I imagine, so the best version to purchase would be the PS2 version.

Xbox version had the 1st episode of MegaMan NT Warrior... *vomits*

"Watch an exciting episode from the new series MegaMan NT Warrior!" >_>

The interview is the best among the features, I think.

I got MMAC on Gamecube. Yes, the fire and jump buttons are switched (which means I have to use 2 of my fingertips instead of my thumb). Also, the Gamecube version has that G4 interview, which is slightly more entertaining. than the 1st episode of the Megaman cartoon show.

I agree, I think the interview is the best feature they had. Episodes of the show are already easy to find elsewhere.

You can find all of them on Youtube by searching correctly though, but yes, the interview is the best deal.

no guys teh best deal is the xbawks version wit megman nt warriro!!11!

The first season of NT Warrior wan't THAT bad >.> It was everything after that

I guess the old Megaman cartoon and NT Warrior are on about the same level. I own them both >.> (Only the first 4 epsiodes of NT, 1rst season of the other one)

In Japanese I didn't mind the show that much. I mean, it was beyond kidly so I didn't watch it for long but it was OK. The american one was ass, mostly due (but not limited) to them changing the names around stupidly.

And the extremely cheesy jokes.

Cut it out Cutman.

They even emphasized it like that. X.X

Darnit. the mainpage is down.

I was going to go through the art archive, but no avail. :(

I wanted to find that mega man looking at you from a perspective that has him facing the background, yet he's holding up his buster and looking in your direction, the background had this mean looking enemy with a pinkish/purplish filter.

the one in the middle is what I'm looking for.

Try The Mega Man Network.

I did. I searched, and searched for it in all kinds of archives, atomic fire usually has an awesome media database, but they merged into MMnetwork. sigh

Oh, the Manga one I think. Thats the one you're looking for...

This it maybe?
(http://tatooine.fortunecity.com/simak/109/megalopolis/megarockmerch/manga/RMN-megamix2.jpg)

Yes! But matrix usually has the full sized one (a high quality image, I might add), and not even overshadowed by logos like that.

I love that image to death. There is no other image that nicely displays megaman.

You could probably find it with a little digging, just look for the Rockman Megamix manga covers.

I found it! Thanks!  :)

It was in Mechanical Maniacs' image database.

and not even overshadowed by logos like that.

Any place that water marks art and puts the water mark over any part of the art should rot in hell.

And they do it as if they own it, as if they created it.

Yes, that's generally how places that do it act.  Doujin scanlaters are really bad about that.

This more of an art inquiry, but...

Does anyone have a picture of Punk? I vaguely remember having an official picture of Punk, that I can't find.

It was black and white, the other Megaman Killers had one too. It was in the original style, he was short and stubby, not tall like in the MM&B CD gallery.

Ancient request, I know, but here's the picture:

Is Super Adventure Rockman really part of continuity? If so when does it take place?



What ever happened to Dr. Lights first 6 robots? (Fireman, Iceman etc...) Were they completely destroyed, rebuilt?

Beat is in SARM, but Auto isn't, so you'd think it'd have to be between 5 and 7...?

I never really thought about it before.

It could fit in anywhere after Beat's arrival, because it's just another madcap Wily scheme...

And I think a lot of the bots get rebuilt when the story requires it...

I mean, MM gets rebuilt with every 1-UP, right?

...right?!

Videogames are more fun when you imagine every life as an actual "extra man" waiting on the sidelines to jump in and replace the previous player.

Life is more fun when imagine you have an actual extra life waiting so if you die you just jump back in and revengeance the previous peril.

That's perfect for when your enemy shoots you in the face right before trying to walk away all badass.

Now you're catchin' on!

Boy is he in for a treat!

Too bad there's more of 'em right around the corner.

You're weird.

Okay, I have an inquiry. Why is Dr. Wily such a dick?

That's one of my favorite parts from any videogame.

I know it's been seen here before.

SEE

I'm wondering how megajosh2 was even able to get "Mega" into his username. Aren't there cockblocks for that?

DOCTOR WHO?

Hiding behind the sofa whenever the Daleks appear!

Ooooooooooh weeeee oooooh, oooooooooooooOOOOOoooOOOOoOoO h!

Haha, if there were cockblocks for "Mega" it'd suck for people named Megan if they're username involved their name. And Mike, you can't say ##### 'cuz you're in that boat, ohoho!

Meganro!

He posted long ago that Abe had edited his name because he registered as M e.g a Josh two or something like that.

Oh yeah. I remember now.

And Mike, you can't say ##### 'cuz you're in that boat, ohoho!

My NAME doesn't contain anything like "mega". You're thinking of my underpants.

You're always thinking of my underpants...

No, I meant the boat of using your own name in your userNEVERMIND.

userNEVERMIND is a perventersVILLAIN.

LOL at today's GameFAQs (http://gamefaqs.com) poll.

I like to jump and shoot, so I voted for jumping.

Likewise, I like to use mini jumps and seem like I'm still on the ground and yet jumping.

Look at the percentage of #####s who don't know what it means. Bastards.

I noted that today, I almost made a new topic.

Interesting.

2/3 of people who took that gamefaqs poll have played Megaman.

I perfer to jump so that way it's not me entering the boss room, it's the entire room moving itself just to let me in.

I usually jump. But in the X series I dash in.

I vary between the three charging my shot (if the game allows).

Jumping in Classic. I've been know to slide it but it's just not as fun. I don't see a point in just running through, it doesn't save time or look ridiculous/awesome.

If I can manage an air dash or a dash jump in X, I do that.

And for #####s sake this thread is waaaaaaa~aaaaay to stretched.

In the Classic games, I slide in.  In the X series I either Hover (when possible), or Air-Dash.

My favorite way of entering the boss doors in MMX6 was being launched to the other side of the boss room because of the slippery floor!

As soon as the fight started I got hit, I was right in front of Wolfang.

#####in' glitches..

I alternate between sliding and jumping, depending on whether I'm playing for speed or fun.

Mega Man X I always play for speed, so I dash or dash-jump, and when I dash-jump I usually try to manipulate it so I'm just short of landing when I go through the door.

I did that too, so your foot was actually through the ground.

I doubt either save more than a nanosecond of time.

....
They save time?

I'm sure they don't. But I was responding to this;

play for speed

The foot-through-the-floor thing is just for fun, the dashing is for the speed.

Thinking about Megaman 9 reminds me...

Since it was the first time fighting Wily in Megaman 4 a while ago, I had no idea how to beat his first form (not the space ship one, that huge one in the stage before). No weapon seemed to do any extra damage to him. So you know what I had to do? Use that Wire thing.

Yes, I stood underneath the machine, in a place where 50% of the time I could get hit, and shot the thing up. That got him to about half of his health by the time I ran out of it. Then, I used the Rush Coil and jumped to hit him until he died.

What was I really supposed to do? Because I seriously doubt that's the right way to beat him. XD

That's what I used to beat him the first time as well. It was a real hard battle.

But, you probably didn't know the same thing I didn't know.

The Drill Bomb can detonate.

His first form is weak to Ring Boomerang and his second to Drill Bomb, as mentioned before.

This question for the most part is for Abe only:

I just heard an 8-bit remix of Wood Man's stage on M-Radio. What game was that from?

Rockboard

HE SAID ABE ONLY.

Kids these days, no respect.

I has a question.

Dr. Light, why are your robots retarded?

The first six master units were built on Apple technology.

Having never played MMPU, I don't really understand the pictures. I'm guessing someone is playing as Fireman and Guts had him trapped and then let him out?

::) hilarious.

More like, I'm playing as Guts Man fighting Fire Man (Almost any other boss can apply), when put against the wall like that, will just run around in circles and refuse to attack. They're sitting ducks.

---

I've been attempting some of the challenges in Mega Man 9 out of boredom. How do you complete the World Warrior challenge? Is there a list of every enemy and how to defeat it? Do I have to clear the game to complete it?

I think I've beaten everything that moves except those invincible cannon things in Hornet Man's stage.

You can't kill the enemies with Tornado Blow.

The mines in Splash Woman's stage need to be killed with Black Hole Bomb. Same with the... floor guys.. I forget their name.

You have to make sure EVERY enemy "explodes", not gets blown away or Concrete Shot'd.

Nevermind. I got it. You have to clear the game in order to get it.

And if anyone cares, I'm at 78%.

I don't remember what I have, but its probably around 70%.

The only ones I haven't done are the ones that require way too much patience.

They all seem pretty normal and do-able except for the two "gamer" ones and Mr. Perfect.

By "do-able", I mean, worthy to give a shot.

Last Man Standing is not worth my time.

howe do i unlcok this mode wher ei get to fight all bosses at once!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAeU3-w92lU

you have to push any button

HOLY CRAP.

That's scary!

I lol'd at the Wily head at the end because I get the reference.

qzecwx did it without any sub-tanks at all.
