Mega Man Classic Weapon Fusions

[Superjustinbros]

I had a recent gander into the dark allies of deviantART and somehow ended up with Kirby 64 vibes as I browsed. Kirby 64 allowed you to copy two individual powers at one time to make a new power that you could use to your heart's leisure.

So I was thinking, how would the Mega Man series do this? You kill one Robot Master to get his/her weapon, then kill another to get their weapon as well; combine both the powers into something new; usually much more powerful.

I'd prefer to have one set of Weapon Fusions per set of Robot Masters (MM1, MM2, MM3, etc.), just so we're not going all overboard with the entire series.

So you mean, like...

Fire Storm + Ice Slasher = Fire Slasher?

Or Search Knuckle? Heh, that'd be a giant fist that rips along the ground and climbs things. That sounds hilarious and awesome.

Astro Crush X Ice Wave

Radioactively corrupted ice goes down in a line, making a meteor land where each single one was.

Sure, you did say a thing about not mixing weapons from different games, but that sort of ruins the fun.

[Gumballtoid]

You could combine Tornado Hold and Water Shield to get yourself a nice sprinkler for your lawn.

Combine Scorch Wheel and Top Spin to become a fast moving fire tornado of death!

I call it "Scorch Spin" because I adore alliteration.

Sure, you did say a thing about not mixing weapons from different games, but that sort of ruins the fun.

If you want to make fusion weapons across two games instead of one, knock yourself out.

I'll do a set for MM1 in the meantime:

Cut+Guts: Sharp Stone
Cut+Ice: Ice Scissors
Cut+Bomb: Bomber Cutter
Cut+Fire: Scorching Scissor
Cut+Elec: Thunder Cutter

Guts+Ice: Hail Toss
Guts+Bomb: Meteor Bomb
Guts+Fire: Magma Boulder
Guts+Elec: Storm Stone

Ice+Bomb: Ice Cracker
Ice+Fire: Freeze Burn
Ice+Elec: Tri-Ice

Bomb+Fire: Molten Dynamite
Bomb+Elec: Zap Orb

Fire+Elec: Solar Burst

Yeah well that's fine and dandy and all but what do those weapons do
Anyone can slam two weapons together and say "they're called this now."  It's another thing entirely to assign them a unique ability that makes them truly noteworthy—and I think the latter is the part that's actually fun.

Star Crash + Astro Crush:  Cosmic Crash.  The wielder summons a shield of asteroids around them.  Each asteroid can be individually destroyed, somewhat like Water Shield, but each asteroid around the wielder increases the frequency of meteorites falling around them.

My bad, here's the weapon concepts I came up with for the MM1 guys.

Cut+Guts: Sharp Stone - The user throws a large black stone with several cutter blades impaled inside it. When the stone breaks open, four Rolling Cutters shoot out and boomerang in a + shape.
Cut+Ice: Ice Scissors - A faster Rolling Cutter that enables multiple to be present on-screen and will halve the speed of anything it hits.
Cut+Bomb: Bomber Cutter - A Rolling Cutter that releases a small explosion each time it strikes an enemy.
Cut+Fire: Scorching Scissor - The user flings an ignited Rolling Cutter a very far distance, with the cutter itself having a small fire orb that circles around it, dealing additional damage.
Cut+Elec: Thunder Cutter - A standard Rolling Cutter that shoots out three Thunder Beams when it proceeds to boomerang back.

Guts+Ice: Hail Toss - An upgrade to the Super Arm; the user picks up a giant ice block that creates more debris than it's un-fused counterpart, with the added touch of immobilizing anything it hits.
Guts+Bomb: Meteor Bomb - Summons a meteor from directly above the player (which is unaffected by the terrain). When it becomes level with the player, the meteor explodes, dealing damage.
Guts+Fire: Magma Boulder - A variation of Super Arm: The player picks up a black stone with several vessels of fire running through. When the stone collides with a surface after being thrown, it scatters several embers that fall to the floor and erupt into a sliding pillar of fire ala Flame Blast.
Guts+Elec: Storm Stone - The boulder produced by Super Arm becomes one of the giant Elec Blocks, firing out Thunder Beam in four directions in a + shape (and four weaker, shorter-traveling bolts in an x shape) upon colliding with something.

Ice+Bomb: Ice Cracker - Freeze Man's Freeze Cracker from MM7 but with the graphics of the Ice Slasher; when it hits anything it scatters small bits of ice in a hexagon shape.
Ice+Fire: Freeze Burn - The user shoots two elemental orbs in a helix pattern: a fire one that inflicts greater damage and an ice one that causes less damage but also slows down anything it hits.
Ice+Elec: Tri-Ice - A three-way spread Ice Slasher with a slightly higher power level.

Bomb+Fire: Molten Dynamite - A Hyper Bomb colored red with black edges. When it explodes it releases boiling lava that spread across the floors in all possible directions, dropping down ledges like MM5's Water Wave.
Bomb+Elec: Zap Orb - Works like the above-mentioned Storm Stone, but is planted at the user's feet, has slightly more ammo, and has the same delay as the Hyper Bomb.

Fire+Elec: Solar Burst - A close-range flash attack that mildly damages anyone within range.

Another game that utilized this kind of mechanic is gunstar heroes on the genesis. You have 2 weapon slots and can toggle between using each weapon individually or using both of them to make a combo weapon. There's only a few weapons in that game though. Honestly with a bit of clever modding you could do this in MM8BDM but there's so many damn weapons you'd run out of ideas eventually.

So we can combine between games?

okay then

Time Stopper + Skull Barrier = Hopelessly Broken
Flame Sword + Water Balloon = Really Useless
Atomic Fire + Laser Trident = Insanely Overpowered

Heh, jokes aside...

Flash + Skull
FREEZE BARRIER. A shield weapon that would stop anything it touches in it's tracks for a while. The one catch: Mega Man can not move when he wants it to activate.

Sword + Aqua
NOT-QUITE-BURNING ARM. Mega Man sets his arm on fire, douses it with water, then waves it at his enemies' faces. The smell of wet, burning robot parts makes them die instantly

Heat + Splash
FLAMING TRIDENT. Would shoot a trident made of fire, at any enemies. It can be charged, and will get bigger and faster the more it is charged. It could break through both ice walls (fire), or steel & reinforced materials (trident).

Actually, I think that second one is still a joke, and the 3rd one is the only serious one here.

[Knux]

Toad + Freeze
Ice Rain - Hold down fire to make small ice chunks fall straight down in a small radius around you.

...Oh wait, this thing actually exists.  

[Kage]

Metal Blade + Wheel Cutter
Metal Slicer  
Hold down fire button at any direction for a metal blade like projectile to appear in the direction you choose, and releasing it will send it flying to the chosen direction . Two can be fired at once, and it will also allow you to scale walls and the ceiling.

Leaf Shield + Flame Blast
Burnt Shield
Works exactly like Leaf Shield instead it is on fire.

Electric Shock + Flame Sword
Thunder Sword
Works exactly like flame sword except it is electrical.

Charge Kick + Hard Knuckle
Charge Knuckle
Instead of sliding, you will fist dash.

Magma Bazooka + Rain Flush
Magma Pour
Balls of fire rain from the sky.

Atomic Fire + Flame Blast
Atomic Bits
Mega Man will shoot out three projectiles of fire that will land on the ground and sprout like Flame Blast. Works kind of like Heat Man.

Spark Shock + Concrete Shot
Dark Stun
Work's like Darkman 3's stun rings.

Super Arm + Deep Digger
Guts Dig
Will dig underground, will be able to move from underground and do an uppercut when rising from underground. The attack will not work on floating platforms or extremely thin ground.

Super Arm + Mega Ball
Mega Throw
Mega Man will be able to shoot out a Mega Ball, grab it, and throw it at an arch at enemies.

Super Arm + Hard Knuckle
Super Punch
Mega Man will be able to melee enemies with punches.

Break Dash + Atomic Fire
Heat Dash
Mega Man will flame dash forward.

Hyper Bomb + Super Arm
Secret Bomb
Mega Man will lift a bomb from underground, carry it around, and throw it at enemies.

Time Slow (or Time Stopper) + Flash Stopper
Stop Rewind
Will be able to rewind time when holding the fire button. Health may return to Mega Man or bosses, and destroyed enemies may return as well. Stop Rewind won't will not work if you fell into a pit or if you already lost all your health.

Super Adaptor + Tango
Super Tango Adaptor
Instead of Rush, Tango will merge with Mega Man and Mega Man will be able to melee enemies using multiple mini slash claws.

[OtakuAlex]

Toad Man + Fire Man = Heat Flurry

You make massive balls of flames hurl down from the sky, they rip with a crap-ton of damage and can melt any ice objects/floors (make sure you're not standing on an ice floor over spikes)

Yes, this is OP, I come up with OP ideas.

[*Alice]

Top Spin + Chargekick = TOPCHARGE

Think of it as a fast forward dash that does lots of damage. And you are spinning while doing so.

[MusashiAA]

This is the best Mega Man-themed topic I've ever seen here. This should TOTALLY be a mod concept.
