GENERAL BATTLE NETWORK SERIES ENQUIRIES

[Abominator]

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 Battle Network Series game, or you have a simple question about this series, ask it here.

[Blasphemy Scarab]

Any speculation as to why neither PharaohMan.exe or any other WWW navis never showed up after MMBN2? There's no logical explanation, other than the fact that Megaman permanently deleted him in their duel in the WWW Area; as unlikely as that is.

FireMan is in BN4...

[Xero]

Elecman in BN6?

[NovaMan XP]

NapalmMan in BN5?

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Bass in almost all of 'em!?

[NovaMan XP]

Bass IS in all of 'em!

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Bah! How could I have known? I stopped playing at BN3, I couldn't take it anymore.

[NovaMan XP]

You can easily find out by people's posts at other forums.

[Winged Warrior]

but Bass isn't technically part of WWW

though ALL of the WWW navis are in battlechip challange... <.<;

[ASR]

That game shouldn't even exist, though. It's like... ugh. I mean... why?

[NovaMan XP]

BCC is not a game. Just an easy way for Inticreates and Capcom to rake in money by making a GBA Movie in sprite form.

[SB]

BCC was a pretty fun WSC game, and it's enjoyable in it's own merit.

Though... Was there any other better character to use beside Slash Beast or Beastman or whatever his name was? You know, the broken guy that attacked three times at the start of his turn and then had his chip combo's to use.

[ASR]

Was he in the GBA one?

Either way, I'm going to explain my experiences with that game:

I hadn't played a BN game in ages, and I decided to give it another. I heard BCC was fun, and I gave I bought it on a whim.

The end.

(People died.)

[Fetitoh]

OK, I've got few questions. In BN 6 Falzar, how am I supposed to get the secret chips? And when/if I get them, how do I power the SP chips up or are they at their max power when I get them? Oh, and can I fight the Link Navies in the Graveyard Area in any way, as they have their tombstones there?

[NovaMan XP]

I think if you beat them in under 10 seconds you get max power. Or at least that's how it is in Star Force..

[Fetitoh]

And then I suppose I can fight the Gregar Link Navies in Falzar? Oh yeah, that leads me to another question. What's the best way to delete GroundMan under ten secs? I have a strategy that works for everyone except him, 'cause during his attacks he always moves to my area. 
EDIT: ... I have no Idea why that was double-posted.

[Kamon]

Panelout3 would probably stop him invading your area.

Fireman, Elecman, Napalman...you didn't mention Shadowman or Knightman. Anyway that was only a partial answer to my question. Why doesn't Pharaohman.exe re-appear?

[NovaMan XP]

Because Capcom decided not to use him anymore.

[SB]

If you want to be HONEST about it and go by canon, he was deleted prior to MMBN 2, in Transmission.

Truth be told, the extra areas never hold any barring to the actual game plots, and are just extras for players to continue on in the game and not feel ripped off. MMBN 5 TP would have been MUCH more awkward when you got to Napalm Man if Megaman really fought him in the extra area of MMBN 2.

[spoiler]Face it, Bass was introduced as an extra in the first game, and at the end of the second one, he was constantly talked about and even had a copy of him to fight. Based on the Pharoah Man logic, Lan and Mega would have already known he was Bass, instead of being so suprised when the copy was unvieled. [/spoiler]

Just saying.

[Videoman XX]

Speaking of Bass, I'm having trouble locating the "REAL" versions of him in all 6 BN games. Would someone mind tellin' me how to reach him?

Thanks in advance.

[imac]

i like the BATTLE NETWORK SERIES if you wont to now any then about BATTLE NETWORK 4 5 or 6 jest
ask me !!!!

[Slugkid]

This Is what makes 12- year old people Infamous. geez.

[Chron]

By contrast, you seem aged and wizened beyond your years.

[Slugkid]

Yeah, thanks... However...there was a DARK time on my life... I remember when I thought BN was the ONLY MM series... *Shudders*
.........
...
*Prepares to be beaten*

[preventerWIND]

Don't worry Slug, no beatings for you today, just sit back and watch the lamer.

[Xero]

This is why I hate the Battle Network Series.

The fanbase it attracts.

[Abominator]

How can you have been alive for 12 years and not be able to spell "know" or "just"?

[Xero]

It's the internet Abe.

People think they can type like speds here.

[Dr.]

No, the real question is, how has he been alive for 12 years?

[ChaosVortex]

This is why I hate the Battle Network Series.

The fanbase it attracts.

Apparently so. He likes BN4-6, so I'm guessing those are his favorites...

...

... pitiful, pitiful fool.

[Panda]

Even if he were to have said:

I like the Battle Network series. If you would like to know anything about Battle Network 4, 5, or 6, feel free to ask me.

I would still not have any respect for him.

*foams slightly at mouth*

[Dr.]

You are a mighty nice guy.

[Panda]

*foaming continues*

[Kamon]

I think Panda's gone rabid.

[Panda]

My hatred of BN is slowly consuming me.

[Kamon]

So why not leave the BN thread?

[Panda]

Because I have hope, Kamon. Because I have hope.

One day I'll pick up a BN game, or even NT or CC, and I'll play it and have fun. I swear I will one day, perhaps after visits from the Ghost of Battle Network Past, Present and Yet to Come.

[Kamon]

Ghost of Battle Network Yet To Come? You're gonna be in for a long wait.

[Panda]

It will take me to a future where I'll be standing over the grave of BN and everyone around me will be laughing and making fun of it, "the worst RPG ever" they will call it. I'll then be put back in the present where I'll spend time with BN while it's still alive, I'll buy it the biggest turkey from the butcher just so it won't feel so bad about being a terrible game, and we'll make fun of Star Force together until the cows come home.

[NovaMan XP]

And then BN tragically got cancer.

And you threw it out of your house. You bastard.

[ChaosVortex]

I don't consider Battle Network bad.

... Overall, it's OK.

Star Force is... entirely a different story.

[Alex]

Yeah, thanks... However...there was a DARK time on my life... I remember when I thought BN was the ONLY MM series... *Shudders*
.........
...
*Prepares to be beaten*

>_>

I used to think the same, as well.

I don't think BN is bad, though. Just some of the fans.

[Cherry]

I like BN, but 4 and 5 in particular are absolute failures as far as I'm concerned.  I only occasionally insert one of those cartridges into my GBA whenever I feel like making a halfhearted attempt at trying to connect my folder theme throughout the series.

[Kamon]

5 was better than 4 by a long shot, but it was still lacking compared to the first 3 games. 6 is pretty much the same, an improvement over the previous title in some aspects but still lacking in others.

[Mikero]

I never bothered to buy past 4. Frankly, I was mildly disappointed in 3 since 2 completely topped it, and 4 was just puke.

[ChaosVortex]

Personally, I thought battling in BN3 was much more fun than 2, but yes. BN2's storyline creates no competition.

[Lunchebox]

Why was there a sudden drop in quality between BN3 and BN4?

[NovaMan XP]

Because a new director took over and made BN into a #####hole.
