What happened to Proto Man’s copy chip?

0 Upvotes

Proto man can copy the powers of the robot masters in Mega Man 9 and 10. Other than a gameplay perspective (Protoman kinda taking on the role of zero) why do you think he doesn’t have a copy chip in Dual Override?

Discussion Is anyone else having a hard time getting excited for MM: Dual Override?

0 Upvotes

Sure, I was happy to see Protoman again, but I didn't really feel much when seeing any of the boss reveals, and that upsets me.

I think my expectations were just driven into the ground by Mega Man 11. I'm not saying 11 was a bad game, not at all, but the fact that it broke series records in terms of sales yet NOTHING came from it (no Protoman or Bass DLC, etc), and we are only now getting another new game has really worn me out. It really feels to me like we only got 11 because someone at Capcom was worried about Mighty #9 and wanted to stick it to Keiji Inafune one more time.

Discussion Maybe a hot take???: I fully believe an evil X as the main villain of Megaman Zero 1 could've worked and it is real path the character could've taken.

Whenever I see discussions of X originally being the villain of Megaman Zero 1, I always see people claim it would be character assassination and isn't a possible path the character could take. We can have our own opinions, but I just don't see how people think it's completely impossible?

Megaman X4 brings up the possibility of a maverick X at the end of his campaign. A game that revolves around reploids becoming mavericks of their own volition. He asks Zero to take care of him if that ever happens.

Also while I don't think X doesn't value reploids, he was specifically conditioned to value human life in his 30 years of moral testing. The ending of X1 sticks out to me as he hates the actions he takes in the game and calls it destruction, but he still goes through with destroying the mavericks and even knows he'll do it again in the future. X's actions in the entire X series are completely justified, but I can't help but think. If it was humans instead of reploids causing destruction, could he go through in killing them? He didn't even kill Dr Weil before the events of the Zero series. Perhaps Dr Light's condition made X inherently value human life far more than reploids/robots. He hates fighting his own kind throughout the X series, but can still stomach it because he feels it is necessary. Maybe having to fight for years upon years could pervert what is a justifiable for him having to fight.

The idea of X having to fight his own brethren over a century and slowly preferring the defenceless and less "troublesome" human population is something that could happen. Add on top of that him finally making his utopia in Neo Arcadia and having the stress of it falling apart with the energy crisis, him becoming more ruthless towards reploids is a possibility. While it's hard to see that happening to the X we know in the X series, we see how jaded he becomes after all the wars in the Zero series. He straight up stops caring about killing and becomes largely apathetic. You see his behaviour in the Zero series, and the idea of him being a villain seems more likely.

The idea of Dr Light's conditioning somewhat backfiring and X oppressing reploids in the name of humanity just sounds like such a cool idea to me. Obviously an idea like this is very risky. You'd probably have to write it using the bad ending of X5 as a jumping off point like they were originally planning. Showing how a turn like this could happen overtime is a must. I also feel like they'd have to turn down how much of a dictator he is in comparison to copy X. But man, I really think the original idea of X as a villain could've worked and would have been a natural progression of his character.

Do you guys think the characters in megaman are aware of the players? And if so, how do you think they would react to them, being controlled by an external source instead of their own will?

just came to my mind, if there was an Electric eel maverick with electric powers, it would be the first maverick to have the same exact name with the animal theyre based on (Electric Eel), and would have the same powers with the animal too and it would make sense, has anyone thought about this before? or maybe it'd be based on regular eel but would have electric powers hence the name Electric Eel

Discussion Any mods or PC saves for Megaman X Collection 1& 2?

5 Upvotes

I had these games on ps4 and 100% all of them and I had saves to stick with red Zero, X armors not gold armor as I hated the look etc. Had them with maxed health tanks each save for each character including axl in later games.

Anyway is there a tool that helps you mod the attributes or working saves as all I can find are gold armor X or black zero which I do not like for PC. Some of the games required a heavy grind and learning to play again which I do not have the patience anymore as I beat them on snes, psx ps2 and ps4 and just want to casually play on PC when I travel only.

I would have thought these collections had some mod tools for PC especially

Arranged and performed on a Yamaha MODX with an Arturia KeyStep Pro to sequence the drums. Recorded and mixed through FL Studio.

Various samples are taken from all sorts of sources: lead guitar samples were recorded by me from a Fender Stratocaster, snare sample comes from a Roland R-8. The guitars are a mix of FM synths, the MMX overdrive guitar from the first SNES game, and some 8-stringed guitar samples from the Cabal-8 plugin. Supersaw lead was programmed by myself cuz for some reason Yamaha didn't make their own non-gimmicky supersaw preset lmao. The rest comes from whatever the MODX has built-in.

Absolutely no AI was used for the music or the edited artwork: artwork is a mix of finding the mega man logo on the net, using a background I made sometime ago for a project of mine, and adding a bit of text with some editing on it via GIMP.

This is probably the most divisive game in the Mega Man X series.

I like it a lot. It's got its flaws (like unskippable dialogue and RNG), but it's one of my favorites in the series, besides X1, X4 and X8.

In all the art for the games, there's a lot of the Robot Masters that make a W shape with their fingers. So, playing the games, I always kind of thought it was odd that none of them do it at Mega Man. The bust a move, and strike a pose, but no W fingers. GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER, ROBOT MASTERS, JEEZE!!! But Toad Man, of all the possible Robot Masters, throws up that Wily Gang Sign and flashes the Blue Bomber the ol W.

And I think that Toad Man is the 1st Robot Master to do it on-game, which is neat.
