How many protagonists do you think there will be?

[jad]

Hand the man an apple, but yeah, I to agree, Axl is model A, because he has the same mindset as Axl, Capcom you idiots,  [spoiler]he isn't really afraid to blast the head honcho, head on during their meeting with Albert. Something that Axl is really good at doing, shooting first asking questions later.[/spoiler] Also, to add to Capcoms faults, they color Model A like Axl, give him 2 guns like Axl, even make the game starting out with Gray start out like Axls story from X7... So It's not like they were really trying to make him disappear were they?

[ChaosVortex]

You get two guns, but you only use one really.

[NovaMan XP]

Don't you only use the second one when you Giga Crush? I find it stupid that they draw them with two guns (Axl too) when they hardly ever use the second one.

[jad]

Oh yeah! You're right about that, however in Megaman X8 or even X7 Axl is always using 1 gun...Cept if you go into you're team attack mode in X8. I never understood that.


Edit: I pretty much stated what you did above. =P

Grey and Ashe did that, not Model A. They just used Model A at the time.

[Winged Warrior]

I find it silly that all the guns in the new games are based off of Axel's pistols.

I mean really... These new guys need mega-busters.

[jad]

Sorry, I meant what Model A said at the time during the meeting. It was purely Axl.

[NovaMan XP]

Damn right. I'm sick of it.

"omg they're coolz they haz pistols!1!!1"

Busters for the win.

That was the whole point, they were never trying to hide that it was Biometal Axl

[preventerWIND]

Especially when Albert said it was Model Albert >.>

[ChaosVortex]

SPOILER WIND, SPOILER TAG TH- Aw, who am I kidding, the story's pure bull##### anyway.

[ASR]

AILE IS ALBERT'S SON

[NovaMan XP]

MIKHAIL KILLS THOMAS

[ChaosVortex]

EVERYBODY DIES

... not too bad actually.

[Dizzi]

MIKHAIL KILLS THOMAS

ISnt it the other way around?

[NovaMan XP]

NO

[Dizzi]

Lol?

[Mikero]

NO

[Rama Olendris]

Even though I haven't played this series yet- I hope they won't overload the series with protagonists. A good series actually should only have maybe one or two protagonists, several sub-characters, and a few antagonists. The main reason why I personally hated X7 was because Axl stepped in as a protagonist when the entire X series is supposed to focus on X primarily and then Zero.

You make the assumption ZX was a good series to begin with...

Axl could have been left out of X7 and it still would have been garbage.  Axl being the main character was only the diarrhea frosting on top of a ##### cake.

[ChaosVortex]

He was at least decent in X8 though, so that's alright, right?

...

... *cries*

[NovaMan XP]

Maybe if he made his debut in X8 he wouldn't be hated as much.

*continues strangling Axl*

[TheRedPriest]

Axl serves no purpose gameplay wise.  X is long distance, Zero is melee.  Axl is just a slightly different flavor of long distance which doesn't justify putting him in.  The copy ability is the ONLY thing you could even start to argue brings something new to the table, and due to a number of reasons makes it impossible to construct stages with multiple shapes and sizes for that.  You also run into the same problems ZX has.  The morphing gimmick/angle is best kept for an entirely different game/series as it just doesn't fit into X.

[Neo Arcadian Hero]

Which all really means Axl is just filler made by Capcom in a sad attempt to save their franchise?

[Fatso]

Their franchise didn't really need saving. X6 was still playable in a way that X7 never could be.

[NovaMan XP]

Though X6's random nightmare crap and cheap level design kinda made it almost unplayable sometimes...

[Fatso]

Nightmare crap wasn't random, it depends on the level you just did.

[TheRedPriest]

TRUTH.  Not so much the random bit, but the fact it did make it damn annoying to unplayable.

[ChaosVortex]

Unlike X7, I played past the Intro Stage.

It's DEFINITELY playable, but not really good. It feels nice in certain areas but the majority are just signs of a poor game.

It's one of those games that you playthrough, beat it, and then have little to no desire to replay.
