Ask Doctor Wily

[TheRedPriest]

Time for a blast from the past folks.  This little tale is considered by many to represent the penicle of Matrix sprite comics as well as capturing the Golden Age of Matrixdom.  n00bs take notes as this can be a valuable lesson on how to do Matrix community fan works.

After the show the good Doctor may even be available to take a few questions, cha?

Fun fact, the first two comics were done by Professor Hazard, as I'd never put sprite to photoshop before.  After comic 2 though, I took over, and as you'll see, I was not the most skilled spriter.  However over the course of the comic I think I got a lot better.  YOU BE THE JUDGE.

[Orange Devil]

Dude, you win. YES. I'm excited. I missed this. How old are these?

[TheRedPriest]

This thread will probably not be dial up friendly...

[Teelio]

Oh, good Wily. How I missed thee...

[TheRedPriest]

One thing you'll notice (hopefully) is that most of the Matrix folk are in character.  Or as close to in character as one can be.  This is often a fatal flaw of n00b comics.  You have to make sure you nail members quirks and personality or you're doomed to fail.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Can you please post the one in which Sano gets beaten with a cane? That one tickles me in my funny spot.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Ah yeah, I read all of these at once last time. Can't wait to see them all again.

[Teelio]

Can you please post the one in which Sano gets beaten with a cane? That one tickles me in my funny spot.

Wasn't that in the sequel?

[TheRedPriest]

This comic updated semi regularly.  The last dozen or so were slow, but I finally got them done.  This is also one of the few Matrix fan works started that actually finished.

Yes, it was.

Yeah it was, I still enjoyed it though.

Wily's Skull Castle is an edit from X-Men Mutant Apocalypse.  Not a bad one if I do say so myself.

Jin was my favorite character to write in Ask Doctor Wily.

This comic features a custom Hard Man Sprite.  It's one of the worst things ever made.  ENJOY.

Posted on: 12 December 2007, 01:52:46

White Shadow was one of many people who did some custom spriting for me.  Noteably for "Princess Liz".

Edgecrusher is the only one other than Wily to deliver a moral.  His spiffy moral pic done by the talented Cyron.

Posted on: 12 December 2007, 01:58:09

Oh yeah, the Bright Man is also a custom.  Another VERY poor custom.

Posted on: 12 December 2007, 02:01:07

One of the single best twists in Matrix Comic history came about the "Matrixins roaming Wily's castle" section of the comic.

[NovaMan XP]

Ah, I remember reading all of this before. It was an awesome comic.

[TheRedPriest]

Behold - KOOLAID MAN!  I don't know how many people expected Zero, but I made them all do a double take.  HA HA!

The last half of the original Ask Doctor Wily was a race against the clock.  With each installment there was nail biting suspense!  Luck you don't have to wait each week for a new one, huh?

Posted on: 12 December 2007, 02:14:21

Did I mention I loved writing Jin?

Posted on: 12 December 2007, 02:17:06

Fun Fact: I forget why Wily's morals became clues to where he was.  I think it was some kind of contest or something.  But then, given what the morals were, does it really matter?

Posted on: 12 December 2007, 02:20:20

Changing scenes can be a tricky thing. For the record, I think the way the scene transistions in ADW went are some of my best writing.

Kopi Roll was not a canon character until Mega Man Powered Up.  But her boobs were not Double Ds, sadly.

Posted on: 12 December 2007, 02:27:24

Doctor Wily was and still is the single best Mega Man series villian ever.  PERIOD.

Posted on: 12 December 2007, 02:31:43

I am guilty of using photoshop filters in this comic.  Sue me.

Posted on: 12 December 2007, 02:34:34

Yes, Nibbles could have just eaten Chimera.  But what fun would that have been?

[Chron]

This is now my new favorite comic.
why did I never get to see this before
oh, wait

I was at Dash only or something ):

[Xero]

Epic win.

[TheRedPriest]

The endgame of the comic tied up all the loose ends nicely.  And as a bonus there was even a special epilogue comic!

[NovaMan XP]

"i hat u diediedie kwixman suks"

xD

Truly, this is the greatest comic ever made.

[TheRedPriest]

Aaaan this will do it.  THIS my dear friends, was Ask Doctor Wily.  I hope you enjoyed the epic win of it all.

:: raises glass ::

To the good old days!

I now open the floor to questions for the good doctor.

[Xero]

Dr.Wily.  What role are you playing in the subspace army?

[NovaMan XP]

He'll obviously play the main villain. I don't think he needed to answer that Xero. ;P

[TheRedPriest]

Dr.Wily.  What role are you playing in the subspace army?

- "Ach, Leader off course!"

[Vinchenz Rock]

Oh wow, that's the second time I read all that in one sitting. I'll probably do it again some day, too. :D

I remember with ADW2, you asked us to draw a comic, and I drew one... a very horrible one. XD

...My drawing skills are better now. <_<

So anyway...

Dr. Wily, when will you finally destroy MMM?

[Chron]

Dr. Wily, I know you've heard this dozens of times before, but is it possible to make a robot master out of met helmets that shoots spike traps?

[TheRedPriest]

Dr. Wily, when will you finally destroy MMM?

- "Ach, do you SEE any Mega Man Matrix up right now?  BWA HA HA HA HAHAHA!!!"

Dr. Wily, I know you've heard this dozens of times before, but is it possible to make a robot master out of met helmets that shoots spike traps?

- "Ach, do you people ever stop to ZHINK about zhese questions before you ask zhem?  Nein.  Vhat en your right mind vould make you zhink I could make zee Robot Master out of zuch a zhing?  Do you know hou much zenny zhat material runs?  I can't afford to buy enough to make an entire Robot Master out of, cha?  Und even if I COULD, to do more than form eet into a crude Met helmet shape ees next to IMPOSSIBLE.  Zhis ees vhy I don't discuss Robot Master design vith you zimpletons.  Do you haff a degree from Robert Engineering University?  NEIN.  Now, if you don't mind, I haff zee vurk to do, cha?"

[Chron]

Alright, alright. A stupid question, but it had to be asked so we could get it out of the way for the real meat and potatoes of this discussion.

Do you know what Dr. Light really uses Roll for?

[Teelio]

Dr. Wily, have you ever thought about neutering Chron?

[TheRedPriest]

Do you know what Dr. Light really uses Roll for?

- "Cha, vhy do you zhink he has dual citizenship en both zee US und Japan?"

Dr. Wily, have you ever thought about neutering Chron?

- "Cha."

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Dr.Wily, what are your thoughts on the Nintendo Wii?

[Orange Devil]

Dr. Wily, will there be a current series of the "Ask Dr. Wily" comic?

Also, is cake considered bread?

[Machine Man]

Well, I just read the comic from start to finish. Great comic.

[TheRedPriest]

Thanks.  It's the penicle of my sprite comic work.

Dr.Wily, what are your thoughts on the Nintendo Wii?

- "Ach, I haff better zhings to do zhen play zhese zimple games, cha?  Vell, actually, zee other day I DID play a quick game off Vii boxing vith Heat Man.  I lost.  Stupid machine!  Nintendo shall pay for zhiz embarresment!  Mein next attack vill level zheir pretty headquarters!  ZHEN ve'll see who has ze last lauch, cha?"

Dr. Wily, will there be a current series of the "Ask Dr. Wily" comic?

Also, is cake considered bread?

- "Ach, getting greedy are ve, huh?  TWO questions?  BAH.  Perhaps a few hours vith Hard Man vill help your manners, cha?"

[Orange Devil]

You are just covering up for not knowing the answers you miserable old coot.

[TheRedPriest]

I think you're going to find out just how HARD Hard Man is my boy.

[Edgecrusher]

Good times. I miss those days.

Hey doc, why was it we held a trial against you again?

[Johncarllos]

Great stuff.
"BLESS ME BAGPIPES!" is the only thing that made me lol though.

Dr. Wily, What can I do to get Fun Bux?

[DJSonic]

Hey doc, why was it we held a trial against you again?

I'm not entirely sure, but I think it was something about ProtoMan, peeing and towels.





To (hopefully) be concluded.

[TheRedPriest]

Great stuff.
"BLESS ME BAGPIPES!" is the only thing that made me lol though.

Then you are indeed a soulless man.

Dr. Wily, What can I do to get Fun Bux?

Those are awarded by ME, not the good Doctor.  And there is no real rhyme or reason to thier dispersal.

Uh... trial... I think it had to do with Wily flashing some poor girl.

[White Shadow]

Good times, indeed.

[Yubi Shines]

Doctor Wily, how do you take your tea? Cream? Sugar? Acid?

[Aresian]

Dr. Wily, when the hell am I going to see the next batch of Ask Doctor Wily?

I demand MOAR! MOAR DAMNIT!

[DJSonic]

Good times, indeed.

Indeed. Too bad my entry wasn't as funny...

[TheRedPriest]

Doctor Wily, how do you take your tea? Cream? Sugar? Acid?

- "Ach, vith milk, like MISTER T."

Dr. Wily, when the hell am I going to see the next batch of Ask Doctor Wily?
I demand MOAR! MOAR DAMNIT!

- "Vhen you ask?  Vell, I don't haff much to do zhese days vhat vith zee recession und all.  But rest asured zhat I shall return to mein rollercoaster ride off revenge against zee Matrix shortly after Mega Man 9 ees released, cha?"

[preventerWIND]

These are amazingly well done! Love'em! XD


-Dr.Wily? Can you say my name in German?

[TheRedPriest]

-Dr.Wily? Can you say my name in German?

- "Cha."

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Dr.Wily, what is love and why do fools fall in it?

[Dr.]

I call a trial on Wily for his constant insubordination, assaults and terrorism!

[Slugkid]

Dr wily, is there any page where I can see all of this comics one by one, with an arrow that says next or something? The topic is killing my RAM.

[TheRedPriest]

Dr.Wily, what is love and why do fools fall in it?

- "Ach, because love ees zee zecond hand emotion.  Zhat ees vhy I zhall never fall en love, because I zettle for only FIRST HAND emotions zuch as greed!"

I call a trial on Wily for his constant insubordination, assaults and terrorism!

Baby steps there son.  Baby steps.  The higher ups will determine when and if the old man has broken any laws of consequence.

Dr wily, is there any page where I can see all of this comics one by one, with an arrow that says next or something? The topic is killing my RAM.

- "BWA HA HA HA HA! NOW ZEE VURLD ESS MINE!"

No, but seriously, no.  I don't have time to make an ADW archive page right now.  So you'll just have to stop the page loading and then save the target of each comic for now.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Dr.Wily, why do you choose to surround yourself with male robots? Why didn't you make 'em all fembots instead?

[Johncarllos]

I'm not looking in this topic again until it's on to page 2.
I have DSL and I took 6 minutes loading this.
Only 1 more post, GO!

Dr. Wily, can you please post in this topic to hasten the arrival of the second page?
