Mighty Number Nine: Inafune Strikes Back

[Geno]

Welp, looks like people can vote for their favourite Call design now- what.

http://www.rockman-corner.com/2013/09/t ... roine.html

Only one of the previously revealed designs are there!
Which is the one I voted for.
But,only after I voted did I notice that "the D design" looks like she has some sort of Dr. Wily hair thing going on.


EDIT: darn ninja

EDIT2: darn dr.wily hair ninja!

[Ceridran]

I like E and F, but I voted E.

[Knux]

Call A looks like the best one, if you ask me. Too bad they scrapped the old ones, though.

[Deviddo]

Is it bad that I'm voting for D?

potential tsundere personality are go

[Tfp BreakDown]

I do like the designs of D, F, and G. But to vote for one? I guess for maybe F.

[Emmanuelf06]

I voted E because F is too much "roll-like".... And E looks more original

[Deviddo]

I'm going to guess that Hideki Ishikawa drew H.
(Ishikawa drew the character designs for Mega Man Legends and for most Classic games)

I should probably mentioned I voted for D because pigtails.

pigtails always mean tsundere its like written in the book of animu stuff

[Dr. Freeman]

I voted for E personally. The expressions caused it to win over F =P

[ZeStopper]

Oh wait, am I the only guy who voted for H?

[SmashTheEchidna]

I'm having trouble deciding between B and E, myself.

[Kage]

I haven't voted yet, but I'm probably going to pick either A, B, or E. I think it would be pretty cute if Call had glasses, but E looks pretty nice too especially after seeing all her expressions.

I also pledged $286 into this game, so I'll get all the goodies that come with that pledge especially that signed hard covered art book!

I was a big fan of a lot of the original designs for Call, and when the overwhelming majority of them were wiped out, I was distraught and outraged.  None of these designs were what I wanted at all for Call!  I didn't want her to be cute or girly or anything—I wanted Call to be strong, confident, determined, yet still visually appealing.  All of these things were far too cute!
Now that I've leveled my head, though...let's review the options.
- F is out right away, she's a Roll clone.  Let's be more original, and not let Call suffer from the Roll Syndrome of getting put in the corner and ignored and not characterized well and never given a chance to shine and wefherkjgernhgkhrnb moving on.
- I've never been fond of the chunky metallic hair present in A and B.  They're out.
- G is blatantly subservient, and her eye style makes her look like she's bloody hypnotized.  She's out.
- H and I are visually bland to look at, and I also looks physically weak.
That leaves C, D, and E.
- E is okay, I guess...but why is she like an airline attendant?  Like G, she looks very servile and weak.  Call is going to be playable, and presumably at least close to if not matching Beck in strength.  I want to gaze upon her and say "she looks strong and heroic," dang it!
- There's nothing really wrong with C, but the fact she can turn into a pony (Has a pony following her?) feels really silly and tacked-on.
- That leaves D as my best choice.  She has some influence from the Purple Call in the original design prototypes, and, well, she looks strong and determined, which is what I'm looking for!
So my vote is for D.  But consider getting her out of that dress.

If Roll Call wins so God help me I will hunt every single one of you down and stab you thirty-seven times with a Flame Sword

COOP MODE IS A GO!

[ZeStopper]

Whoa, that Vita and 3DS versions stretch goal sounds cool.
But I'll be getting Console.

Hopefully it has cross-buy between Vita and PS3/4.

[MusashiAA]

Well, this thing has an online co-op mode, so it's marginally better than almost every official Classic Mega Man game save for Mega Man: Powered Up and Mega Man X1.

Also Call designs fun fun

Call A is a mix between F, H and I. No.

Call B is really cool, it fits the support role the Call character is supposed to have. It would have to be one of my favorites. I will have to mention though that the lack of colouring left me thinking about her lower body...is she wearing pants or a diaper?

Call C really looks a lot like Beck, being able to attach and use extra tools to her body. But no, C stands for Cut and Centaur, there's this whole Mega Man Universe vibe around it, and the pony shit needs to get the fuck out of my sight.

Call D just oozes Inafune all around it. That, and gothic lolita so NO.

Call E looks like Call B, but is inferior in the same sense as comparing Alia to Maverick Hunter X's Navigator. You remember her, don't you?. No?

I already voted for Call F. She's pretty much Roll, but not like how Beck is pretty much Rockman, so that's a good thing. She has an unfair advantage of having been exposed for longer than the other designs (pink Call and blonde Call pretty much were the go-to designs of the fanbase), but I'm sure that the other three finalists will put up a fight.

Call G looks cute, but she's far too maid-like, almost on the verge of stereotype. No.

Call H is way too simplistic, and that's not good since she's going to have to team up with Beck for combat, who's design isn't simplistic at all: she looks out of place. Doesn't look like a navigator as well. I'd say it's really uninteresting and would be my least favorite, but Call C and D took that spot already.

Call I is Call.EXE. No.

So in my mind, it goes like this: B>F>A>E>G>H>I>C>D. Voted for F, favorite is B.
