Things in Megaman that you never noticed before until recent

[Geno]

Nope.  There are many more than that, including just about all of mm4's RMs.

Whoops! You're right!
It's not surprising that I forgot though. The graphical data for most of the later Mega Man games are very hard to "read"

From just looking at their in-game sprites, they are

Fire Man
Needle Man
Bright Man
Dive Man
Drill Man
Dust Man
Pharaoh Man
Skull Man
Crystal Man
Gravity Man
Gyro Man
Centaur Man
Plant Man
Tomahawk Man

And just for fun, here's the RM7FC, RM8FC, RM&FFC, MM9, and MM10 Robot Masters that would use 3 layers

Cloud Man
Shade Man
Slash Man
Spring Man
Clown Man
Burner Man
Magma Man
Splash Woman (unlike the others, her sprite has so many colours, that it could even use 4 layers!)
Tornado Man
Nitro Man
Enker
Quint (MM8BDM)
Ballade
Hyper Storm H

Yeah, so I guess having 3 layers isn't special at all! Having any amount that ISN'T 3 is unique.

[BiscuitSlash]

Damn. I thought is was just Plantman who used 3 layers.

[NemZ]

Yeah, splash woman's 'lipstick' is cheating.  Make her mouth black like everyone else and she's legit.

Your list is missing wood (green eyebrows), toad (gut stripes), stone (red dot, mouth), napalm (red inside his head gun)

Also note that of those that don't use three, nearly all of them use the third for their attacks anyway.  Elec man for example.

[Geno]

Yeah, of course.

I was going to count Pump Man, but the third layer is only present on 2 of this sprites, so I decided it was just like an attack projectile or something.


Also, I did not count Wood Man, because I assumed that since his skin is the same colour as his body, that'd be part of the first layer, leaving the eyes and eyebrows as a second layer

[NemZ]

Old Sprites are neat though, eh?  It's like art and a puzzle at the same time.  

huh.  going to have to play mm2 now with the ppu viewer open and check.
EDIT:  Yep, good eye.  Wood is only 2 because he doesn't use the face pallette... which is also rather rare!

[DrMario2]

I never knew that Gravityman is the only RM that has a triangle outfit....

[BiscuitSlash]

After seeing the Game Grumps finale of MM3, I just noticed that Gamma has the gamma letter on the forehead of its first phase (?).

[-FiniteZero-]

I don't know if this is actually very obvious and I'm just late to the point, but...

The Falcon and Gaia armors of Mega Man X5 are equivalent to the Rush Adaptors of Mega Man 6.

Falcon and Jet:
-Have a weaker buster
-Have a special flight ability

Gaia and Power:
-Are short-ranged
-Are single-shot rather than the usual three-shot

Earlier today when playing Network Transmission I noticed something....

Quickman.EXE's battle pattern in that game is very similar to that of the original Quickman.

[Dr. Crasger]

Quickman.EXE's battle pattern in that game is very similar to that of the original Quickman.

Well obviously they'd do that.

For consistency.

Wasn't the case with Gutsman.EXE, Elecman.EXE, Iceman.EXE, Shadowman.EXE, Gravityman.EXE, Starman.EXE, Pharoahman.EXE, Fireman.EXE, Needleman.EXE, Brightman.EXE, Swordman.EXE or Protoman.EXE.

You wouldn't want the central servers of the internet and everyone's PCs to crash, would you?
Crashman.exe is too dangerous to be part of the series.

Actually this idea is incredible. They should have considered it.
