Mega Man Discussion / Re: Archie's Mega Man #1 on shelves NOW! (SPOILERS)

Unfortunately, I have to agree. These comics are short. Hopefully the stories will become a bit denser as the series continues, and they touch more on the mythology of the Mega Man Universe and introduce more supporting characters. There's so much they could do, I hope they leave themselves constrained to adapting the video games.

However, for those who can't find physical copies, the first arc is being collected into a trade soon (according to an editor's column in issue 4), so you could try and pick that up. Also, the series is available at comixology. https://comics.comixology.com/#

You can buy digital copies of the issue for 1.99, though it's a little behind.

I thought nitro man was cool before, then I learned his cutting wheel lets Mega man go up walls. It's currently in the running for my favorite RM power. I love mobility-based powers like the wheel and thunder claw. (I'm Spider-Man!)

((I'm jumping right into Magnet man's story, I think we should all meet up asap.))

I see them running scared. They think that because it's raining it'll be difficult for me to catch them. How presumtuous. I'm Nitro Man, stunt robot extroirdinaire. I've jumped canyons, traversed winding rivers by wheelie hopping from log to log, I've even driven backwards through an Indy 500 track. I was built for stunts, I was built for the rain.

As I catch up to them, I notice a wooden pallette set up as a ramp. I could catch them without it, but why not show off a little? I drive and pop a wheelie, and soar above the ones I'm chasing, landing in front of them. "Hello, Magnet Man. Enjoying the rain?"

If he's doing it secretely, I think he needs a mysterious alias. Like...Asi(mov) or Matrix or something. A cool villain name and people ask "Who is _____?" I'm all for Dr. Coda as a real name though.

I have a suggestion, we could combine the two stories. Someone hacks the masters, but it isn't known exactly who that is. So there's a search for the hacker and a need to stop the RM's at the same time.

Ill give it a whirl, I'll be Nitro Man.
As for plot, I suggest a MacGuffin search of some sort. Any reason for a wide-spanning adventure across many different locales.

I have the first game an expansion pack, but I haven't beatenit yet. I was actually kind of dissapointed that the second game didn't add races like Warcraft 3 did to that series. Speaking of which, I've been avoiding the second game like the plague because I hear the DRM involved is crazy stupid.

There is no story in portal. You are a (possibly unwilling) test subject made to run arounf dangerous rooms using an experinmental portal gun for the advancement od science.

Anyways, I can only get Portal 2 for PC and as far as I'm aware my PC can't handle it. Oh well, it's not like it's going anywhere.

As goofy as water baloon is, it has decent, predictable range and good power, IIRC. Hyper Bomb was terrible except against stationary enemies and gutsman, and I don't remember using search missile that much.

I love the ending theme to haruhi, I can not stand the actual show though. I'm a huge fan of the Mega Man version, though. :P

I like the new system. Makes the game accessible and makes it easier to try new characters without learning new movesets right away.

I can see how spammers would become a big problem, but they've always been a problem in fighters.

However, banning lite mode in random match-up (not friend battles, imo) seems like something that should've been done. >_>

Thunder Wool comes in surprisingly handy for a few sub-bosses. I ended up using it a lot against that castle boss.

How can anyone hate 5 when it has Napalm Man. His feet are tand treads and his hands are missles. The only thing cooler would be a motorcycle. >______>

You should look for a comic book shop in your area. They usually have very large selections and may be closer than you think. Unfortunately, we're not in the days anymore where grocery stores carry a good selection of comics. ;_;

You could also try ebay for singles. It'll be a tad more expensive because of shipping, but it's a possibility. The website has subscriptions for 20-odd dollars.
