Among the many, MANY announcements made during today's Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct, the red crusader himself, Zero, is joining the game as an Assist Trophy. See him in action in the clip above (21:33).
... So, uh, think X will show up as an Echo Fighter down the line?
I feel like its more likely for Roll to be an echo fighter then X, simply because X's proportions to Mega Man are so different, and all other echo fighters have had very similar body shapes.
ReplyDeleteBass or Proto Man would make sense in this case, but they're already involved with Mega Man's final Smash, and Bass was never designed in Smash to have the NES Mega Man body type anyways.
You know they could just easily redesign Protoman and Bass as a CLONE mod of Mega Man right? As for them being in a final smash, what does that have to do with anything? You can literally play as differently armored versions of the same characters in some cases, but it's weird to have a playable character that is in another character's final smash?
DeleteWhat is with the obsession with Roll? Serious genuine.
Roll is without question the most recognizable female character in all of Mega Man, and she gets to be playable a few times as well. She's a cute character, and lots of cute characters in other series are popular as well, so its kind of a given.
Delete"Roll is without question the most recognizable female character in all of Mega Man"
DeleteAs oppose to who? Splash Woman introduced in 2008. Kalinka the grand total of 3 brief appearances...
Saying Roll is the most Popular "female" in all of Mega Man is like saying Shadow Man is the most popular Ninja. OK, not much more popular Ninja's in Mega Man, especially as old and part of million unit selling games. She was only seriously (outside of junk cellphone ports of 8-bit games) playable in a kart racer, a board game and a game that had almost every if not all Robot Masters in the game playable. As for MvC(a series which had a servbot as a playable character and Roll as each of the worst most underdeveloped characters in the games, I mean bottom two tier, the literal two worst characters in the whole game)/TvC(with gimmicks never displayed before from the main series) I'd say her randomly getting in those games maybe had contributed to her popularity a tad bit, it's the chicken and the egg thing. It's not like fans voted her into those games. Of course a character is going to be more well known with the more exposure it receives (it still annoys me she got in over the likes of Duo and Wily).
"She's a cute character, and lots of cute characters in other series are popular as well, so its kind of a given."
Ah now that's the answer that makes sense. It's in my opinion in bad taste but makes sense nonetheless. There are many other cute characters in Megaman btw.
Just because you don't care about Roll doesn't change facts.
DeleteUh-oh! The inclusion of Zero has spelled the end for series' and toy lines before.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope the Zero Virus isn't strong enough to destroy Super Smash Bros.
No reason to worry, its always been MMZ's Zero that has ended stuff, MMX's Zero doesn't have that track record.
DeleteI think that was the lamest joke I've ever heard in probably my entire life.
DeleteIf Smash actually did end now after this game would that really be that bad?
DeleteI mean what the heck else can they do with the series after this WITHOUT getting silly as hell with licensing? Maybe a playable character from Golden sun which might already be coming for this game at best.
Zero doesn't kill stuff he ends it cause after him there is usually nowhere to go but down. Personally I feel there is never going to be a need for Smash games after this one even if they kept all the licensed and returning characters for the next one, all people would ask for is crap like Goku, Crash and Sora before getting all kinds of niche or really really out of place. People want to make this game Mugen. I don't even know the honor of Mega Man getting in anymore either since everyone and their dog seems to be able to get in this game.
Someone will eventually mod Zero into the game as a playable character I bet.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the video's been taken down
ReplyDeleteI feel like Mega Man X can easily be his own character. He has completely different moves over the eight games. Plus the height difference means Trigger can be an echo fighter of X!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Yay! ^^
ReplyDeleteZero's cool but I'm way more excited at the fact we're getting MMX music which wasn't known before.
ReplyDeleteIs it weird that I'm more excited about Grey Fox, Chef Kawasaki, and Nikki (especially Nikki…!!) than I am, about Zero?
ReplyDeleteBesides. The Zero I know belts out a hearty "hoo-hah-ho," as he swings his sword. Nyeh heh.
It's not really weird considering it's well... you. The end of Joseph Collins, the whole Roll thing and the fact that you talking about Nikki (especially Nikk...!!) just kinda fits seamlessly together.
DeleteYou asked and you shall receive, an answer that is.
… … …
DeleteI can't even be mad. That answer was just too good. Maybe, a little on-the-nose. But, too good. Hah.
Can't help but wonder who the observant man behind the mask might be, though. Mysterious~!
