I like it, but I didn't grow up with it and it hasn't pulled me in yet

Our technology is advanced enough for that, but instead AI in our world has developed in the most lame, gay and dystopian way possible.

following your suggestions I am starting OSS. How different is it from battle network?

>>717511457 (OP)
For me its sharkman

>>717524487
people only tell you to play OSS bc it has a lot of QoL for the first game that the first game desperately needs. the starforce crossover stuff is only like an hour long.

>>717524487
https://www.therockmanexezone.com/wiki/Changes_in_Rockman_EXE_Operate_Shooting_Star

>>717524487
The original didn't have a way to run away from random encounters unless you used an escape chip and OSS has a minimap that's very helpful because the internet in BN1 has only one visual design and it's easy to get lost on it. Aside from that there's some QoL that makes the experience smoother.

>>717519471
That depends. Would you prefer to have fun only to be killed by obnoxious bosses or have fun only to killed by obnoxious bosses with a deck builder element? Both are good, but I'd say BN in this case since the early EO games are kinda hit or miss until 3.

Just kidding I loved 3 but the meta is very funny

>>717524487
It's not that different, really. No Armor, you can't use 10 of a chip in a folder anymore, the * code exists, and there's a map on the bottom screen. That's the really major stuff aside from Geo being playable 85% of the way through the game.

>>717525251
>4 that high
>2 that low
>dissing AquaMan
Shit taste.

>>717525457
3 is alright, but I think people undersell its worst qualities.

>>717525558
Yes I am going to diss spoutman because who the fuck thought it was a good idea to put him on two fucking games like he was some sort of protoman. Not even gutsman or roll got that treatment.
2 is low just because the series just gets incrementally better i still loved 2 and I finished the postgame and got hubstyle. As someone who enjoys the pvp aspect there is no fucking way I will ever call 4 bad.

>>717525457
People talk about those chips a lot but the game has so many other ways to break it that are way more fun.

>>717525558
4 is only bad if you are a storyfag, aka the worst type of “gamer”.
>b-but muh backtracking
The entire series is like this. How many times did you visit the same areas in any fucking mmbn game

>>717525773
Flashman is an incredibly effective way to win that takes near zero effort.

Why the fug didn't they make Gyroman's chip air element?

>>717525995
It's already pretty strong and you can pair it with number soul for a free +10. Also not every wind chip blows away aura like in 6 so there's no purpose for that.

>see thunder soul in red sun
>man thats really underwhelming red sun souls are so weak
>suddenly actually play the game
>realize how busted thunder soul is
Its kinda funny how easy its to tunnel vision proto soul and junk soul being super strong then forget about how good rolls passive effect is

Too many random encounters to pad the game time
I just gave up after a few hours

>>717527876
The souls in both versions are very strong, some broken even. The real issue of BN4 comes from chip variety and availability.

one reason 3 is my fave is the mega chips aren't 90% navi chips I wish they focused more on non-navi mega chips in general, especially in later entries

also that shit in 6 where you can only have X number of standard chip based on your memory is cringe, nerf them so i can have more or make them mega chips thx

>>717527876
all the souls are pretty broken in one way or another in 4 if you experiment enough

>>717528428
Turning mega chips like Muramasa and fullcust into standard chips was an improvement, now you have your free slots for actual navi chips.
But if what you wanted was "standard chip but way stronger" the phone games did mega chips like that.

>>717528428
>aren’t 90% navi chips
You only use flashman though. The first boss is actually the final boss

ribbit

>>717511457 (OP)
Good series, horrendous post-game design. It's incredible they kept the same 'collect every battle chip' requisite until the series died, even in SF. Talk about the most mindnumbing tedious shit imaginable

>>717528842
if I really wanted more mega slot chips there are programs for that besides they nerfed muramasa when they made it standard

now I'm wondering what the max mega chips you can have in a folder if you stack foldr navicust programs

>>717529013
all the other navi chips have use a normal playthrough (besides beastman), especially plantman who is basically flashman but better

>>717529421
>plantman is better than flashman
Sorry but I don’t remember plantman getting x2 damage on his chip just because the floor is a certain type

I agree with that

even as a kid that skintight suit sure caught my eyes a lot
surely that's not just me?

It's boring. I used to be a fan but after replying 1-3 with the collection, I realized that they were just shitty games with a lot of backtracking and tedious bullshit. Shanghai.exe is unironically the best entry, that's just sad.

>>717533346
It's not just you. I think these games were a psyop to turn boys gay. It's nefarious.

erm, lan...where are your pants?

>>717525251
3 > 5 > 2 > 6 > 4 > 1
6 goes that low because the story and new characters suck, also new battle sprites, why. However it has the best battle system after 6 games so it's still not bad.
Even 4 has some redeeming qualities, the story is nonsense and the new overworld sprites are lower quality, but it's the only game where you fight the actual generic overworld navis in battle, and that's soulful. 5 and 6 did the soul/cross system better but it was still fun.
I think 2 and 3 are on par with eachother for good story moments but 3 beats out 2 with way better deck building and postgame. 5 is the best combo of gameplay, folder building, good scenarios, cast is all together, and the story is the best of the "part 2" trilogy imo.
3 is just peak battle network, goated anime tier ending, goated meaty postgame, 3 is just the game.

>>717534783
They're in the wash.

>>717517539
>made improvements on gameplay
>made characters likable again after 2 shat on them (except for Zack)

regardless of the gameplay problems the aesthetics of battle network are unparalleled

>>717535465
>Sonic games were made to turn people autistic
Sonic games were made based on speedrunning Mario. There's little if any difference.

>>717535075
Battle Network's world is somehow both goofy and prescient. This is a world where they subcontracted their ENTIRE JUDICIAL SYSTEM to a giant tree and then the guy that built it can still practice as a prosecutor to a tree he maintains and controls. And even if you ignore the horrific opportunity for bias, when it turns out that Ito was working for a terrorist organization and he goes missing, THEY'RE STILL USING THE JUDGETREE!

This genuinely isn't me complaining though. I love this. And if you think this is something so incompetent that it would never happen in reality, insurance approvals are already being handled by AI. So even with something as stupid as the Judgetree, it's a think that could absolutely happen in like two decades

>>717535291

Oh goodie, guess I get to go back to 3 and clear White. I think I'm on Wily Castle now

As an aside, I feel like Ground Style deserves more credit

>>717536395
White in general is underrated. Many people go into Blue for folderbak but White has better code synergy in general while also giving you more control over the field through Ground Style, stage modifier navicust parts and 3 Areagrab * in the first Net square shop.

>>717535656
It is crazy though looking back on this series how as a kid I believed this was mostly in the realm of science-fantasy to "oh shit I'm carrying a cell phone with chat gpt on it full time, and now grok waifus exist." It's funny how much they got right. The whole internet of things complaint is overdone as well but they nailed that back in 2003

Boys....

I'm playing 4 again and I hate it.
The riddle runarounds. The number passwords. RAEJDUK. Collecting tournament points some guy scattered all over town after breaking into your friends' houses.
Missing BMDs/PMDs before going into the next run.
I also picked the wrong version. The one without Shuko. Match should've fucked the hotdog stand lady btw

>>717537743
holy...

>>717538483
If you just want to see Shuko you can add her to the tournament of the other version

Why is Shanghai the only "spiritual successor" that does Battle Network justice?

>>717538952
it's not a rougelite

>>717538952
Its a carbon copy.

>>717538952
It wanted to be Battle Network with other characters, not a game "inspired" by BN

>style system is semi-permanent, adds new gimmick-ish secondary mechanics to combat
>soul system is per battle, changes minor character abilities and elemental affinity
>battle transformations are temporary and add buffs/change the expression of certain mechanics
>Every major part of your character gets a separate navicust with smaller but upgradable memory limits
Would something like this work as the basis for a BN7?

i'm trying to play star force but the virtual pad makes it too frustrating, i'm not even attempting exe
shame cause i had so much fun with them on the ds (that i don't have anymore)

Do you guys challenge each other on Legacy Collection PvP?

I want to try playing this series from the start. Which version is considered the best of each game?

>>717542208
Blue
Red Sun
Team Protoman
Team Gregar

>>717542208
Get both MMBN 1 and 5 on the DS. Everything else, Legacy Collection.

>>717542420
>Red Sun
GOOD OLD DAYS AFTER 9/11

>>717542161
I wish but the pvp is dead because no cross-platform and Tango is the better option. I'd play if someone wants to though.

>>717542420
Colonel is better.

>>717541313
Boys frotting and shooting boyslop all over each other..... God, Is there anything more perfect?

>>717525251
Swap 2 and 4 and it's basically my list.

>>717542420
What makes Legacy collection the best? I was planning on emulating the OG games but if there's QoL changes then i might get that instead

>>717543363
oops, meant for>>717542421

>>717539805
No

Fact: the main reason that Gregar > Falzar is that Gregar has THE EDGE

>>717543363
Legacy Collection has some bugfixes, though I don't think any bug it fixed were gamebreaking. Legacy Collection also gives burgers access to jap-only content like 6's Boktai scenario, lots of event chips, and Patch Cards. Patch Cards specifically add a ton of extra customizability to Megaman, though they're overpowered to all hell. Most of these additions are specifically for 4-6, but 2 and 3 do still get event chips to play with.
On the other hand, 6's Beast Link Gate feature is completely removed with no replacement.

If you want to emulate instead for the portability, you can grab the WiiU VC patches for these changes excluding the Patch Cards. You can still use Patch Cards, but it requires you to be playing on a computer since you have to mess around with memory and shit, so you might as well just play Legacy Collection at that point. 6 has a translation patch so you don't miss out on the jap-only stuff like said Boktai scenario.

>>717538483
And it can get worse, like they game avoiding the Watergod scenario on purpose three times in a row.

Anyone willing to do library compare on Switch?

>>717525251
6>2>3>1>5>4

>>717544348
>Watergod scenario
Oh god... I remember...

>>717511457 (OP)
Not that niche.

>>717544271
>On the other hand, 6's Beast Link Gate feature is completely removed with no replacement.
No one's made a mod for that? I mean, the Link Gate's a minor thing from what i read, but...

Having fun, lots of QoL changes that in in hindsight its pretty dumb they didnt make it into BN like the multiple gacha chip machine, yet-
>Arbitrarily locks you out of 2 styles
>Can't change style element at will
Aqua Witch is best style, dont @ at me.

>>717542952
I'll get back to you once i buy the Legacy Collection in the future.

>>717516601
Have you considered killing the feudal lords?

>>717529137
That only sucks in BN4 & 5. The PA comp is much worse because you need specific codes. But that could just be my checklist autism being satisfied. I love making a big list of all the chips I'm missing then ticking them off one by one.

>>717545067
Silly Anon, we can still (You) you!

Why do people love shipping Lan with his own brother so much?

>>717545067

It just happens.

>>717545680
Because twin boycest is the purest form of love

>>717517539
I don't get the appeal of StarForce combat. BN's 3x3 feels so superior (also way better sprite art over crusty DS models).

People say SF had complexity but I never got into it. Overall the game felt much easier than any BN game. SF3 added some noise system I never fully understood. Seemed like a slightly more confusing way of transforming yet not as cool as BN's double soul.

Just finished BN6's post game yesterday, it was really fun. Though I still don't have the S-mark and probably never will.

>>717533470
Unironically, Lan from the manga adaption was my first crush on a boy, and made me realize I liked boys too.

>>717545263
Only if it's steam. I don't own a switch.

>>717546823
Was planning on getting steam version anyways.

>>717546361
it's more reaction focused than BN due to the lower movement space, but you can still setup combos and modify the field to your liking, like putting rocks or holes in front of you to prevent attacks. I still prefer BN but SF combat is just as complex as the former.

>>717533470
>Brother playing Battle Network when I am 5 and I think it looks super cool
>Start noticing the skin tight suit on Megaman when I turn 11
I didn't ask for this

>>717547359
I would give anything to be free from homolust. It's a fucking curse.

>>717535734
B code is pretty cool

>>717547483
Me too. I'm attracted to twinks and guys in their 30s at their oldest. Guys usually turn freaking gross around their 40s. I hate being this way.

>>717547212
You've got less chips, a teleport and dramatically less space to plan around, there is no way its as complex as BN.

>>717543904
>get Killer Cross
>spam nothing but MachGun2 and 3
Feels good man.

>>717548036
I like girls too so I'm not completely fucked, but yeah it's not ideal.

>>717548109
Talking about SF3 here but you can select up to 6 cards per turn, the balance comes from megas and gigas being bigger so they can't be picked with too many cards in one turn but you can still use the darkened cards for other purposes (area eater, atk+, set grass, invis, etc). Counter hits also can give you more cards so you aren't that limited.
The approach might be different but there's still a lot that can vary per turn.

>>717548462
I'm fucked cuz I only like guys. I think if I didn't move away and dated then married my childhood friend I would be very happy and content rn.

name one (1) netnavi that can stop him

>>717549074
Sorry bro IDK what to tell you. I wish I could help.

>>717549315
It's okay. He doesn't have any social media, but I did some digging and he never married, which is a little bit sus. I think I could've had a chance if the 2008 recession hadn't fucked things up.

>>717549464
>says "Do not repost or use my artworks"
>anon reposts the artwork anyway
May you get caught

>>717539805
I'm open to the idea but isn't your proposed battle transformations just being able to hold multiples styles?
Not saying thats bad, it could be better then Crosses

>>717542208
Blue

Team Falzar

>>717525251
Good list incoming.

>>717549581
I can see legislation actually being passed in favor of these fags in the 2030s, and sites will literally be unusable.

>>717525995
the fuck else would it be??

>>717550053
In case you haven't been paying attention the last couple weeks, the internet is in the process of being locked down globally as we speak. Too many people noticed that Israel is evil and genocidal, so they're shutting it all down. You say 2030s, but I wouldn't be surprised if the internet is completely unusable by this time next year. Gonna miss you fags.

>that guy that wastes navicust space on HP+ programs

>>717535734
B code is very cool.
P is fucking overpowered. Plantman piercing, It does have Sensor 3 and steps swords. I guess the sword isn't OP but it is very cool. The EvilCut PA is in P too.

>>717550424
In singleplayer it is a waste but in PvP it can make or break your strategy

>>717549804
No, basically just the same as current beast outs
When I say styles would be gimmick mechanics I mean adding new shit that would alter your entire approach to combat, like in the sense of a new UI element or additional basic gameplay rules, rather than a different buster shot or other surface level moveset change
It's the difference between buffing and expanding a character, and playing as a different character

>>717550424
But then I get to use Dark Chips.

>>717549205
Numberman is the only one who can defeat him because Numberman can use quads the Gigga Nigga's only weakness

>>717539805
I was thinking if I was to make a BN-like I'd probably allow the player to choose their "Navi". Similar to Link Navis in BN6/Tema mates in BN5. Each would have a different charge shot and some other base differences. I'd make all the Signature chips into usable chips, then make playing as the Navi give it a * code.

What if they adapt the SF4 idea into a BN7 + SF4 game with a new gameplay style

>>717554209
Always wondered what kind of style was that when i was a boy.

>>717554408
yeah I didn't get it for a long long time but it made me hype as a kid that it could be mine

>>717554209
pure soul. This series captures so much of the limitless optimism of childhood.

>>717554209
damn 3 is over 20 years old? fuck

I miss the capcom anime streams.
Needleman and Burnerman episodes were the funniest shit along side videoman being a gaypedo.

>Its a beastman episode
Beastman is the actual main character of the anime.

>>717555248
>along side videoman being a gaypedo
qrd?

>>717555303
videoman episode has him wrapping up megamang in videotape bondage and suffocating him.

>>717555303
just shenanigans

>>717555462
>>717555303
His Navi user was a faggot too.

>>717555303
most of the anime is just shota ryona, desu

>>717555609

>Stoneman could have been kept alive if he embraced his nerdy office waifu
That episode was great

Napalm man actually getting put n probation and rehabbing into a respectable person was kino desu

>>717555905
Shame he didn't appear more

Who is the true Jobberman?

>>717556064
>Jobberman
Gutsman

>Potentialman
Protoman

>>717556064
Burnerman literally lost every fight he was a part of and also became a dark chip crackwhore and died really hard.
Either that or I’m thinking of magnetman.

>>717556587
Chaud exists in a state of chad/chud superposition. He is both and neither at the same time.

>>717555298
Man. I wish I got a beast soul. I know Gregar is even better but eh. I started typing this without thinking

I thought his name was pronounced Chode?

>>717553758
Kinda both, most BN playable characters have just been megaman with a different buster and some kind of chip type buff, but some of them have a little more going on
It's like how in fighting games, some characters will have an extra meter or something that gives them different goals during a fight, or like in Binding of Isaac where a lot of the later characters have wacky bullshit like psuedo co-op gameplay or a crafting mechanic that gives them a completely different moment to moment experience
For a recent example I think Expedition 33 also has character specific mechanics like that, though I haven't played it

>>717545067
Any tips on getting the different frag types? I sped through the explanation and I can only get two of the four no matter what I try.

Nebula won

>>717559678
Gregar. I just cleared Sky area not long ago

>>717559885
I have a full Falzar library if you want.

>>717559934
That'd be incredible anon. Although I haven't completed Gregar yet so I don't have the Gregar exclusive chips yet

>>717560010
It's all good. Though if you do end up getting them, offer to LE in another BN thread.

>>717559658
HOLY SHIT
NEBULACOIN IS SKYROCKETING
EVEN JOBBERMA- I MEAN PROTOMAN BOUGHT

evil.bat

which game had the best final boss?

>>717561158
Gregar and Gospel are a pretty fun fight

Nebula Grey isn't terrible. It's just dodging attacking and hitting the ball when you want to

Falzar isn't bad but the lack of a field makes it more annoying

Alpha basically demands multi-hit chips or Style

Duo can fuck right off

>>717561158
3, Alpha is kino

>>717561158
3>4>5>6>2>1

>>717561158
Alpha is my favorite. Duo looks visually awesome but I hate fighting him. The rest I don't care too much about. Gregar sucks because he hops like a rabbit and his strongest version is an actual nightmare.

>>717561582
I like Alpha in concept. The idea that the internet itself is the enemy is great and it's the last time Bass was actually interesting.

>>717561673
Bass really should have come back or had some kind of redemption. At the end of the secret fight in 3 he shows a brief flicker or remorse before fucking off and just becoming "the postgame boss" guy.

>>717561872
No. Bass is evil. The anti Megaman.

>>717561872
forgot pic.

>>717561872
I want fucking Mamoru to come back. You cannot have a character to through an entire arc of deciding to live AND make the Undernet's admin AND make him Serenade's operator, then decide to use him for one game only

Why did they axe him, Sean and Tora despite all of them having potential as characters? Not even his aunt mentions him at all when she shows up in BN4, or the fact she already fought Lan in another tournament. Not to mention all the other characters that do return but barely get more than a passing "oh this happened" remark. Capcom really fucked up the series' continuity with that game, didn't they?

>>717562090
Mamoru and Serenade were really good characters. Wish they came back for 6 like it was planned.
If we ever get a 7 and they follow through with some of this stuff it'll be so good.

>>717561158
life virus could've been so much better if it came out later

alpha you can use stuff you normally wouldn't which is cool (cough needler) and it lorewise is also the coolest

gregar is just a gospel reskin on steroids
falzar is pretty easy

duo and nebula take so long to kill all those dum invincible frames

>>717561872
hes lost his memory multiple times, all that remains is the will to be the strongest

>>717562090
he's even on the cover of the legacy collection and I remember serenade being kinda important in the manga. its funny that hes just a one off boss

>>717562150
>Serenade.EXE's Crest on Mamoru's wheelchair

Why did I never notice this?

>>717562150
They really expected the series to end with 3, then suddenly were given the go to put out 3 more games. They struggled to fit more content on what they already had and had to shrink/compress things (resulting in 4's new art style for size difficulties) and it looks like they got pigeonholed into what was set up in 4.

>>717562224
And Serenade says that he's dueled with Bass at points after Bass absorbed Gospel's corrupted data. So Serenade is as much of a Net breaker as Bass. But where Serenade is ultimate defense, Bass is ultimate offense

>>717562090
this, I am fuming
however I will say its cool his Navi chip was a Giga instead of a Mega, I wish all navis had alt giga attack chips

serenade prequel game where he and mamoru meet, explains how they became the undernets caretakers, and are going up against all the ranked navis to get 1st spot WHEN

>>717562318
>But where Serenade is ultimate defense
His gimmick is really cool. I liked figuring him out.

>go through 4 crutching on Air Hockey
>time to fight Duo!

>>717562090
my headcanon is they did full synchro before it was cool

>>717562440
And? What was your reaction?

>>717525251
Wrong

>>717562403
full arealock is fucking kino and im still mad they took it out in 4-6 fuck balance PUT IT BACK ITS COOL

>>717562487
i'm die

>>717562539
Should have added a chip that gets more powerful the less area you have.

>>717562403
You can be struck by your own Lance? I didn't know that

>>717562468
lan and megaman have been doing full synchro since the first game

>>717562809
I don't think it was the lance. I think Serenade just popped out one of his orbs right as I used Lance.

>>717538952
Because it copies everything battle network has to offer rather than simply taking the combat section and turning it into a roguelite. Switching between the real world and the net enhances the experience; having a world to explore between the combat is fun, that's what these indie roguelites don't understand.

6>4>3>5>2>1

>>717563091
i disagree with this list but i'll accept 4>5

>>717563169
This makes me so angry because I love the ideas 5 had but 5's chip library is so fucking boring

Lan and MegaMan going "full synchro" with their li'l shota penises touching!

>>717563252
5 started off good. I even liked liberation missions. Then they added traps everywhere.
Then I realized every single virus in the game has an invincibility phase.
Then they bloated virus HP to obscene levels.
Then I realized version 2 and 3 chips were locked behind postgame.
Also its chip synergy is really bad and you'll usually just resort of Dark Soul to get over the massive HP bloat hurdle.
Your ally navis are just shittier megamen who rely completely on your folder, too.

>>717562090
Never forget what they took from you

>>717563252
how is it anymore boring than any other game

>>717511457 (OP)
Just make a general at this point, same thread same discussion same pedos every fycking day

>>717563252
5's library is excellent. It has my favorite varsword folder in the whole series.Colorpoint grab revenge combos. Dark chips. Yea. One of the best

>>717563573
Generals are gay and lame and I would never participate in one.

>>717563369
Genuine skill issue. Put in break chips, hit the counter, remember viruses that didn't have an invincibility phase.

>>717563434
I'd kill for an anime adaptation of 3 that shows this fight.

>>717511457 (OP)
How come the mark of the beast is in that pic?

>>717564014

Is the manga worth reading? I didn't get into it because I hated the art style.

>>717555152

Grass stage, my beloved.

I'll always wonder what that BN gacha game that was killed by covid would have been like....

boys

>>717568013
which one? that might just be xdive.

I'm still on BN 1. I'm still looking for the Undernet. I think I'm about to get filtered. I miss Starforce. I miss Sonia.

>>717568130
xdive was out already, it was never formerly announced but a known capcom leaker hinted about it at one point. (Everything else in the leak happened)

Only thing I've heard of it since was that there were some time restrictive deals with it that were unable to be met because of covid so it was canceled.

>>717560660
Honest answer, they come from a being known as Nebula Grey, created by Dr,. Regal with all of humanities negative emotions piled into data. The "DARK CHIP CREATED BY DESIRE" essentially feeds on the dormant negativity of a Navi, and with each use, their very soul becomes tainted, where they soon become a Darkloid, joining the Dark Galaxy, with Grey serving as the galaxy's center.

>>717519471
While I like both series, there was honestly a lot more love and effort put into the BN collection.
>online
>brought back cut content from the western releases
>streaming the anime up until the release
>various QoL improvements
>translations left mostly alone
>didn't cheap out and outsource the project to Indians and other people who never played the series

While its not 100% perfect compared to just emulating the games nor took the better version of the BN games(OSS, BN5 DS), BN's collection should be the minimal standard how a collection should be. They knew you could just easily download the roms and still put a lot of efforts into making them the best collection possible. BN's collection doesn't get praised enough because of how rare this is.

>>717556738
>Anetta was so unlikable in BN3 they completely changed her backstory and made her a recuring character in the anime
Still makes me chuckle.

>>717558093
My nigga AstroMan.

>>717562150
>Capcom really fucked up the series' continuity with that game, didn't they?
Yes, the fact that someone out there probably played Team Protoman on GBA ONLY, and then jumped to BN6 only to have NO fucking idea who Colonel and Baryl are is a high chance. There's also another instance of an old friend of Lan not knowing who the fuck they are, Raoul and Thunderman, Lan fights him to get his passport back, then he shows up as part of the Net team, revealing Princess Pride as the attacker. In BN4? Apparently it's their first time meeting.

There's 2 phone games, like 2 wonder swan games i think, battle chip challenge, network transmission, 4.5, the 2 ds games if you wanna count those, the actual physical pets and I think there was an arcade game but it's dont think amount of games really tells you if a series is niche or not, do you really think the general gamer knows or cares about battlenetwork?

>>717607864
>patrician and high T opinions
https://nhentai.net/g/195155/

>>717569684
There's also another instance such as Napalmman is defeated in BN2 by Lan and Megaman, but in BN5 Protoman they don't seem to at all recognize him. I wouldn't be surprised if mistranslation and that the japanese version does have it correct especially given BN4 was a shitshow of dialogue errors.

>>717569684
Also as much as I understand why people say Team Colonel is the canon version there's some stuff on its own end that don't make sense neither such as Higsby and Numberman. I can understand Raika and Searchman being put off by the Megaman fake who got in the way of their mission. But Higsby and Numberman? They should know better. Higsby knows Megaman has no reason to attack HIS OWN TEACHER's Navi, yet Nebula's plan of pitting Lan and Higsby against each other succeeds when it had no reason to story wise at all between these two knowing each other. Raika doesn't have such familiarity yet aside from just their tournament match back in Red Sun.

>>717609697
With that one you can at least chalk it up to it being Postgame stuff. But again with BN6, if someone only played Team Proto and then got Falzar version, they won't know Dingo and TomahawkMan are either.
>>717610112
Yeah, that was just Capcom just reusing assets and story beats, much to the detriment of character, Team Protoman came first in December of 04, Colonel followed after in Febuary of 05. Higsby should have known better.

>>717569684
Personally, I'm still in the boat of Team Protoman being the canon version due to Chaud's character development there feels like it reaches the natural conclusion of his story since BN1 given his moment where Lan lashes out at punches him compared to Baryl slapping Lan in falling flat narratively. Although Baryl and Colonel do know Lan on BN6 it can be assumed that it's from Team Protoman when he does appear for a moment to help them near the end. Team Colonel's story also feels more hokey per team comp when compared to Team Colonel as seriously, those last two team members slots are ludicrous with what I had mentioned already over here for one of them. >>717610112

>>717605039
I like the way you think.

>>717546361
SF series is easier than say BN 3 but not BN 6 where everything dies if you breathe at it. SF limits movement and combos but it also means you can’t trivialize enemies anymore once you have the right chips in your folder.

>>717553290
What are you even talking about

>>717554054
>>shitty autobattle
A lot of people get filtered by 4.5s battle system because they can’t wrap their head around treating your Navi like an autonomous character that you give commands to

>>717614674
The games are literal standalones. Are there at all any referencing between them?

>>717614674
the fuck happened to this kid? didnt regal die in 4, why do we keep acting like hub is a big reveal, serenade being the ruler of the undernet or what ever? how the fuck does mr match become a teacher?

>>717614674
For the most part the games ignore previous entries, except when relevant to the plot.
We saved the world 5 times but are still treated like a newbie.
We end up the most powerful navi or so every game but that's forgottent next game.
In 3 we literally become the #1 ranked navi in the Undernet, essentialy the closest to a leader it has yet next game we still act scared of it.
We get all these styles and forms and souls and upgrades and chips but revert to a noob deck with no upgrades every game.

Is Shanghai's Postgame done or is it abandoned now?

>>717616597
Yeah it's abandoned. Heaven area was finished, the dark world area got made but it has nothing but empty mystery data in there. Three of the bosses meant to be there are in the debug area instead.

>>717616597
The postgame as envisioned by the developer is finished unless he had more stuff that was never shown off + they added incomplete concepts and some OC fights. Also he had to program all of the attacks and cutscenes and everything himself. The postgame the guy who was still working on it wanted to do (adding a way to fight bosses naturally instead of the Dev Room, more job requests, more Undernet, new shops, etc) is not done and will likely never be done.

>>717617079
he realsaed the source code didn't he?
I'm genuinely suprised Shanghai isn't more widley known amongst the BN community.

He was just taking a nap.

After seeing this thread im glad the franchise is dead, and I hope it stays that way until you faggots are erased from the earth. Faggots always ruin everything.

>>717617736
What opinions specifically do you take issue with?

>>717617873
He's just being a snowflake

>>717617281
It's more known than you think given they put stuff from it in OpenNetBattle and some third party added the whole Orin fight on a whim pretty much but I'm not sure how much more you're expecting.

>>717618069
Your ilk is insufferable and seek only to poison wells of discourse with stupid faggy offtopic opinions. Please take that shit back to Tumblr where it belongs.

>>717618572

WHO? What opinions don't you like SPECIFICALLY?

>>717617873
Other than this being a stealth offtopic from the unusually sus OP its just not a good light to me that newer fans are so focused on romantic interests. I understand its probably the only way to actually talk about Megaman in any relevancy anymore but I would rather the franchise stay dead since this is the case.

>>717618762
More like bothurt.

>>717597562
Is it really bad and unbalanced...or just, you know, not Battle Network?

>discuss game

AIEEEE IT'S SUS HELP ME AAHHHH
legitimately a retard

Jobberman status?

I would even add I would rather the franchise go into a collective amnesia in the minds of the populace than to see it become another franchise for fags, like what happened to Star Wars, Overwatch, and Destiny.

Just play Open Net Battle if you want megaman

>specifically mention "sus" op
>uhhh uhh I mean these posts instead

>>717619521
1) Those posts are not not the OP. The OP is innocent.
2) Shotafags aren't even the majority of posts here. It's literally just like two dudes ERPing with each other
3) Shotafaggotry isn't even remotely comparable to the Star Wars / Overwatch / Destiny brand of globohomo faggotry. Shotafaggotry is comparatively wholesome and I have it on good authority that most shotafags hate trannies and therefore they are based.

Faggots are a biological dead end and need to be purged
They are cancer
Destroy everything they touch

Shotacon is good, that said. For anyone who wants to see some good lewd sprite work go to hitoma and look up nibbler2345 for Lan and Mayl content and of him doing his mom. Oh and there's Dex having his way with the tied up teacher for anyone who is into that despite him being an ugly bastard content.

Why are you guys so gay

Oh, our thread is complete now. You can take your trolling attempts elsewhere.

Mission successful, BN fans.
