I like his design. His stage is painfully fun, and has an extra segment after the boss is defeated, Fighting him is a blast, I love his stage theme, he has a kickass voice.......And looks like Tengu Man!
Gravity Beetle is pretty damn cool. His stage music is addictive too.I Agree, but Tunnel Rhino is still my favourite.
Llama, you will care about X8 soon, and you'll love it. >_>
and at a technicle standpoint, megaman (ALMOST went maverik)
A maverik is any robot that goes againsed the law of robotics, which is that a robot cannot harm a human, also zero was the 1st maverik and he happens to be a robot also
they are all programmed to do what they do.

So are people. Hate to break it to ya, but free will is an illusion.
Well I know enough about Philosophy to say that that's a very contentious claim you're making.
So are people. Hate to break it to ya, but free will is an illusion.Remember that this is in context of the story. The writers may have written the story and how everything happens with a completely different view on it. You may not believe in exact free will, but the writers may very well have, and used it in their story the way they saw it.
Bringing it back to the series, what was that 30 years in the capsule for other than to tightly control the experiences X has? He was brainwashed to behave the way he does because Dr. Light was paranoid.It's the same as parent's influence. X's time in the capsule is teaching him morals, so he that he may make positive choices when he goes into the world.
Oh, and it's ridiculous that mavericks need a 'virus' as an excuse if they really have free will, since going maverick really means 'refusing to obey the arbitrary authority of humans'. Depending on how a reploid is treated by those humans it can make perfect logical sense to act against them.Only the mavericks in X8, plus a few exceptions, went maverick on their own will. Most reploids and mechaniloids before then went maverick by the virus as if they were possessed. The virus took over their electronic brains and controlled them.

It's only contentious because people generally don't like to think of themselves as meat machines. Of course we're free to will whatever we want, but the point is that the things we want are all determined by prior experience, current circumstances, limitations of imagination or ability, and genetic traits. It's a very subtle sort of programing but it's there all the same.

Genetics and environment are strong motivations for a deterministic viewpoint, but the free will advocate has a lot of wiggle room left.
Quote from: "Sean Nelson"Genetics and environment are strong motivations for a deterministic viewpoint, but the free will advocate has a lot of wiggle room left.
Only because the meaning of free will is being shuffled in different contexts between 'free to' and 'free from' depending on the circumstances. If we truely had free will we really could will anything (and there is a difference between willing and doing, which you neglected; a guy could will himself to fly all day without accomplishing anything), but the reality is that the things we will are determined by various factors of environment and nature... we might be able to DO otherwise, but we can't WILL otherwise to find out.
Now we do have illusory free wills so long as no external, identifiable force is coercing us to behave this way because we are still doing what we will, and for this reason we are still responsible for our choices even if we couldn't really choose otherwise. Justice is then predicated not on punishing the misdeeds of a rebellious will but rather on attempting to correct the internal workings of a person's decision making process through external stimuli so that future volitions will hopefully be more acceptable to society.
Soooooooooo... what was the topic of this thread again? :geek:
If Criminals are to humans, then Mavericks are to Reploids, right?
Because they have damage reactions, especially weakness reactions.
But couldn't it be even theoretically possible for a reploid to be infected with the Maverick virus and never commit a crime?
I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. The three rules of robotics are in a sense, more like the rules made to govern out people, and the maverick virus makes them forget these rules.
I also think the reason there are no "human" forces out there is that it is much easier to send a robotic being out when said being can be rebuilt.
And I highly doubt any human sides with the Mavericks.
Robots = ReploidsNo. All those humanoid robots, including megaman, are called robot masters.
Robot Masters = Mavericks
Thats why, Sean.
I don't really like the X series as much as the classic. I guess I'll go with Boomer Kuwanger. He was really weird, and has a cool name. I only ever played Mega Man X1-3.same as CutmanMike I like boomer kuwanger, his 8-bit version rocks!!!!
But couldn't it be even theoretically possible for a reploid to be infected with the Maverick virus and never commit a crime?
X1: Boomer Kuwanger is too overrated. Screw him.
Quote from: "Lifeup J"X1: Boomer Kuwanger is too overrated. Screw him.
Name 7 people not on Cutstuff that say that Kuwanger is the Best Maverick.
I don't know any rl friends that know about Megaman.
Also, I just said that because, i looked at the first pages of this thread. A majority of people loved Kuwanger.
A majority pick Storm Eagle over Kuwanger.
X8, they suck.
Quote from: "Sean Nelson"But couldn't it be even theoretically possible for a reploid to be infected with the Maverick virus and never commit a crime?
No. Because remember Dr.Doppler he was infected and as soon as he was infected he went ape shit and tried to destroy the world.
And look at Squid Adler. As soon as he was infected he attacked the player.
And look at Sigma, he didn't go maverick at will, like he said he did. When he fought Zero, the virus was passed to him. Then he went ape shit. (and insane I might add)
And look at Zero himself. When wily created the virus from the evil energy from MM8, and put it all into Zero he went ape shit too, so Wily put him into a capsule, then when the Maverick Hunters woke up Zero, he went ape shit again because of the virus, and when he passed it on the Sigma, most of the virus went out of him and he had no idea what he did and he turned good (because most of the virus was out of him) but a little was still left, thats why he turned into Nightmare Zero when hes exposed to alot of the Maverick Virus, and Zero himself spread the virus around the world on his missions, because he still has a little of the virus still in him. So indirectly, Zero is still doing his original pupose: spreading the virus.
Hmmmm. So the timeline goes from (in order):
Classic.
X.
Zero.
Battle Network.
Star force.
(I forgot the other series names, don't blame me.)
