[1:50:59 PM] SmashMan: I just noticed
[1:51:06 PM] SmashMan: in the new Mighty No. 9 footage?
[1:51:12 PM] SmashMan: Beck shoots -diagonally downward-
[1:51:19 PM] SmashMan: he can aim his buster
[2:02:19 PM] Sam: there's new footage?
[2:02:47 PM] SmashMan: hi Sam
[2:02:48 PM] SmashMan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1iEFfOBP1o
[2:02:50 PM] SmashMan: eat this pls
[2:03:50 PM] Sam: oooh!
[2:04:01 PM] Sam: the HUD looks neat
[2:04:14 PM] Sam: and im liking the x-esque sliding
[2:04:30 PM] SmashMan: it's an air dash
[2:04:38 PM] SmashMan: which makes it automatically better than X
[2:04:38 PM] Sam: oh wait, that dash is hurting them too?
[2:04:44 PM] Sam: that's pretty cool too
[2:04:56 PM] Sam: the combo system seems interesting as well
[2:05:02 PM] Sam: but
[2:05:08 PM] Sam: x could air dash with upgrades
[2:05:51 PM] Sam: and I think without upgrades past X4 correct me if im wrong
[2:07:10 PM] Crystal King: Nope.
[2:07:12 PM] Crystal King: Zero could
[2:07:13 PM] Crystal King: not X
[2:08:15 PM] Crystal King: X needed armors to be able to do so.


[2:10:44 PM] Tex / Jman: oh wow
[2:10:53 PM] Tex / Jman: that demo looks fucking sexy
[2:11:10 PM] Tex / Jman: I thought that the game would just be hand drawn sprite graphics
[2:11:13 PM] Tex / Jman: BUT THAT LOOKS EVEN BETTER
[2:11:14 PM] SmashMan: I immediately went into auto-pilot and searched the forum for a Beck skin >_>
[2:13:02 PM] SmashMan: INAFKING
[2:14:31 PM] Tex / Jman: oh, and the best part?
[2:14:36 PM] Tex / Jman: it's going to be on literally every platform
[2:14:47 PM] Tex / Jman: well, except smartphones, but fuck that
[2:15:00 PM] SmashMan: I legit laughed at the end of the video
[2:15:05 PM] SmashMan: with all the consoles on it
[2:15:34 PM] SmashMan: EVERY COMPUTER OS
[2:15:34 PM] SmashMan: EVERY MODERN PLAYSTATION
[2:15:34 PM] SmashMan: XBOX 360 -AND- XBOX ONE
[2:15:34 PM] SmashMan: YO I HEARD YOU LIKE NINTENDO
[2:16:16 PM] Tex / Jman: lolwut
[2:16:59 PM] SmashMan: Win / Mac / Linux
[2:16:59 PM] SmashMan: PS3 / PS4 / PS Vita
[2:16:59 PM] SmashMan: XBOX360 / XBOX One
[2:16:59 PM] SmashMan: 3DS / Wii U
[2:17:23 PM] Tex / Jman: well it's on every modern platform
[2:17:27 PM] Tex / Jman: so there's no excuse to not get it


[2:19:10 PM] Tex / Jman: all these silly folks complaining about the dash...
[2:19:42 PM] Tex / Jman: the particle effect on it is pretty meh, but I like the way it works
[2:19:45 PM] Crystal King: "THAT WASN'T IN ORIGINAL MEGAMAN"
[2:20:13 PM] Tex / Jman: ...that's because it's not megaman
[2:20:18 PM] Tex / Jman: you have to remember that, rabid fans


[2:20:57 PM] SmashMan: okay I see how the dash works now
[2:21:35 PM] SmashMan: enemies are only defeated if you absorb their power core; the theme of absorbing cores was mentioned in a Mighty Becker update on the Kickstarter
[2:22:08 PM] SmashMan: you can see the missile robot at about 0:37 turn blue and expose its core, but after a second it gets its missile shooter back and continues to attack Beck
[2:22:24 PM] Crystal King: destroy the core
[2:22:37 PM] SmashMan: blue cores don't do anything besides increase Beck's score and "chain"
[2:22:51 PM] SmashMan: but the colored cores give Beck temporary timed power-ups, shown under his HP
[2:23:14 PM] SmashMan: red cores allow Beck's shots to pass through multiple enemies, and green cores increase Beck's ground movement speed
[2:23:24 PM] SmashMan: I can't tell what the other cores do from the video, unfortunately
[2:24:02 PM] SmashMan: cores also give you more points (and ability time) the faster you grab them from when they were first exposed
[2:24:15 PM] SmashMan: you can't tell at first since all of the cores show a 100% collect rate
[2:24:52 PM] SmashMan: but at 0:50 the robots blown up by the explosive containers show 70% and 60%
[2:25:14 PM] SmashMan: since Beck waits a little bit for the explosion to dissipate before collecting the cores

You know, I was hoping Mighty No 9 was going to be taken a bit more seriously compared to Mega Man. The design made me think of a mix between Classic and X series influences. But no, it's actually more ridiculous than Mega Man. Way more ridiculous than I would of hoped for.

[Tfp BreakDown]

An animated series? This sounds interesting. I wonder if it net only or... Yeah probably net only.

[SmashTheEchidna]

Well, can't say I saw this coming...

[Yuri Sakazaki]

So how about that second crowdfunding they opened?

*Sigh*

[Dr. Crasger]

An animated series already?

The game hasn't even come out yet.

[Dr. Freeman]

I can't wait for the episode where someone tries to blast President Lincoln.

[Emmanuelf06]

It seems to be an anime for children/cartoon 3D style....? I hope the story will be nice at least.....
I would prefer a manga style :/ (like the fan opening of Megaman gigamix, not pro but very cool).
At least, Inafune works' ....

But 100 000? Actually, i dont have a lot of money, i wont give money for that....(but i think, there is a potential for this anime, i hope the graphism wont be dumb' x)

[Ceridran]

no that high pitched Beck voice and artstyle has already killed me

ded

[Gumballtoid]

I'm not passing any judgement until both the game comes out and the TV series airs. I'm optimistic for both.

[SmashTheEchidna]

Likewise. Like I said about Sonic Boom, I'm willing to give them a chance.

[Laggy Blazko]

I like the style a lot, heheh. But yeah, they should have released the game before announcing something like this. It makes them seem... Desperate or something.

EDIT: But hey, note that the bad guys are apparently attacking humans.

[Magnet Dood]

They'd better bring in Ruby Spears to help saturate it with cheesy 90's cartoon goodness

Wonder what station it'll air on if it comes stateside. I can't imagine Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon picking up this kind of series.

[Kapus]

I'm cool with this.

Curious to see how this turns out.
