MEGAMAN IS BACK! :D (but not as we know him...D: )

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Ok, so I was strolling around youtube while pretenting to work when I saw a video for Mega Man for Street Fighter X Tekken...

Spoiler: It ain't Petty

They used the Bad Box Art Mega Man from the US NES release...

Love the Pac-Man On a Mecha Mokjin though

So...your thoughts on this, Escapist?...
Capcom being trolls or is it something else?

Why the hell does he have a beer gut?
No seriously? He never had that on the box arts....

Also why does a game which is supposed to be a Tekken VS Street Fighter game need to have exclusive characters that has NOTHING to do with either game? or even either games developer (Cole)?

You know how Soul Calibur Has Special Characters for each version?
They talked with MicroSoft about Master Chief and Felix but they couldn't make up their minds.

Wow, that's... um... that's... a, err... a thing.

A decidedly hideous thing.

Also, purely out of curiosity, why is Pac-Man riding on what looks like a dustbin with limbs?

It's Mokojin, A Tekken Character famous for switching between every Character Move set.
It would be a nightmare to program for a Game like this so they went with this.

That is a great joke. You had me going there for a second......it...it isn't a joke, is it?

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Capcom is digging their own grave. They're shitting on the character who made them what they are. It's just another reason for my boycott to stay in effect because that's a fucking travesty.

I told you, The Mega Man Creator Took away Capcom's rights to have Mega Man Himself playable (Everyone else is free though)
They can't do shit so they decide to make the best of a bad situiation.

That is a great joke. You had me going there for a second......it...it isn't a joke, is it?

No...

Well Soul Calibur is a single IP, so ahaving guest stars are more of a bonus.

But this is an IP vs another IP type game, so why should be have some other IPs in there too?

Street Fighter X Tekken X Console IPs?

PS: Never was to fond of the tacked on characters in Soul Calibur either, I mean Darth Vader? COME ON!

The Idea most likely came from the Namco side, so you can blame them.
The X-BOX version is free of these Charaters though.

I don't think it's that set in stone, MVC3 had Tron Bonne and Zero and UMVC3 even had Mega Man and X as Power-up Cards.
They can't use him as a player Character, but they can use this Version as it's (sorta) Orginal Character as he looks NOTHING like the real Blue Bomber.
As for Shitting on the Market, I have no Comment, maybe they are, maybe they aren't...

ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! Just you know how hard it is to get a stright answer on the Internet.

[StriderShinryu]

This is absolutely exquisite news. Now all of those who whined about MegaMan not appearing in another Capcom game can stop complaining. I absolutely love it. Thank you, Ono-san.

 

[Wayneguard]

LOL... FUCKING LOL! I'm probably the only one here who thinks this but that megaman is fucking AWESOME! They're totally putting him in as a joke character, or at least putting him in as a legit character but in a joking way. Did you see his entrance screen thing where he jumped up with his gun like fucking steve-o. That is megaman saying, "HEY DUDES... I still rock" but is totally an old, fat hasbeen who doesn't even have an arm-buster. I think that is fucking brilliant. I'm still laughing at that video.

 

[geK0]

If Nintendo decided to add 200 lbs and an adult diaper to Sonic for his appearance in Brawl..... that would be almost as bad as this.

I posted this in the News thread about pac-man and in the fighting game group last night. This is S-Tier trolling by Capcom, but it's brilliant none the less. A true Mega Man fan would get the in joke about all this and wouldn't complain, but embrace this silliness. I couldn't stop laughing when I saw the pics and trailer last night, good job Capcom.

Really I don't see this as offensive or anything, and butt hurt Mega Man fans need to chill out a bit. I LOVE Mega Man, am as big a fan as the next person, but I don't see Capcom doing this out of douchieness towards the fans.

Now I am hoping he isn't a "Dan" or "Roll tier" if you get my drift. Hell I'd laugh my ass even more if he was a top tier character. I'm definitely gonna play him, although unless he turns out to be a good character that I have good synergy with, he won't be my main or anything like that.

EDIT: Also, according to a recent article on Siliconera, Mr. Ono actually consulted Infaune about this.

Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune had a say about including Mega Man in Street Fighter X Tekken. "I consulted with Mr. Megaman(his name is Mr.I?) about it 1 years ago. It?s [a] result," producer Yoshinori Ono tweeted to a fan asking why Bad Box Art Mega Man was selected for the fighting game.

So there ya go, Mr Mega Man himself had a hand in this and probably approved of the joke. And His character description references Mega Man Legends too which is a nice nod.

 

[Skops]

Why don't people ever get it? Capcom LOVES pulling stuff like this. It's a joke, just like Dan Hibiki, just like Hakan, El Fuerte, Brad Vickers (RE Punching bag), and several other Capcom characters. Bad Box Art Mega Man was also sopposed to be in Mega Man Universe before it was canceled.

Capcom is trolling everyone that wanted Mega Man in MvC3/UMvC3. And it's hilarious

I love this Megaman. Screw X, Volnutt and all them, THIS is the Megaman I've been waiting for!
