What exactly is the "Fan Friday?"

I'm wierd as well, and voted for X.

I don't know why, to be honest.

It's basically meant to create a listing of Mega Man fans, so as time goes on, I can literally say "X number of people support Mega Man for Smash Bros." I still haven't received any submissions for it yet, though, so I might have to come up with something else for Friday.

Also, it's not weird to pick X!

Okay then. I like the idea of Fan Friday. I'll submit.

You know what I hate, PEOPLE WHO FREAKING SAY THAT MEGA MAN IS GONNA BE A CLONE OF SAMUS JUST BECAUSE OF THE MEGA BUSTER! I'm freaking sick and tired of it! People always say "Oh, if Mega Man gets into Smash, he's gonna be a Samus clone" NO HE'S FREAKING NOT! Mega Man only has one freaking move similar to Samus which can be slightly changed. First off, the Mega Buster could fire one bullet before it starts charging. Another thing is that Down-B could be made to change what regular B does. So if anyone who is reading this still thinks Mega Man will be a Samus clone GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS!

Haha, I feel the same way. I think that'd be a good subject to bring up for the next Smash Saturday too.

Not only is Mega Man different from Samus, but I feel like there's nothing wrong with having more variations of a 'charge shot' character. Some people might like the shooting style over close combat, but they can't play as Samus. So, if there's another option, they'd have a more suitable character to choose.

One thing that I'm not sure about is Mega Man charging and moving. For some reason or another, it seems like all the characters who have charge moves in Smash either have to stand in place or get slowed down. Or, they have a charge like R.O.B. where its constant. Maybe this is done so people don't have to be holding down a button the whole time? Who knows.

The bottom line though is that Mega Man and Samus are very different. It'd be like saying Link is Cloud.

Mega Man should be like good ol' Smash Bros. 64 where B and Side-B are the same! Then he could run around shooting like a maniac!

On a side note this could make for a very interesting gimmick where downed players drop a Large Weapons Energy item when they respawn. The item would drop and fall in a similar way to how Dragoon Pieces are dropped from downed players. Mega Man could grab it before it fades away in order to recieve a new weapon (a la Kirby). For instance, Mario and Bowser would give Mega Man "flame style" while Link/Marth/Ike bestows the Blue Bomber with "sword style".

To keep things fresh (and separate from Kirby) Mega's regular attacks would become more attuned to his current style as well. For instance that one-two punch combo would now have flaming fists, or it would be up-close attacks with Slash Claw.

Actually now that I think about it, Star Force MegaMan (aka Geo Stelar and Omega-Xis) would be better for a Smash Bros. game with the above gimmick. No matter how dorky Geo and his friends are, they DO have that whole "Noise Change" thing that they do in Star Force 3. All of the Noise Forms have differently-shaped armor, but without noise they're all blue and lite-blue like Geo's "normal" form. The armor shape is a great way to tell players what style they currently have equipped, and the colors can be swapped for different outfit schemes.

Plus it would be cool to have RED GAIA... ERASAAAAAAAA!! as a Final Smash

honestly the only reason i was pumped up for brawl was because the CHANCE to see megaman in it, but noooooo

very, very VERY pumped to see the next game since nintendo mentioned capcom about smash bros.

very excitedddd

Brawl turned out honestly really poor because of the gimmicks they put in it.

Hopefully they remove a few of them when they put Mega Man in.

Wait, I heard something about a Smash Saturday. Where is it gonna be?
