lbd_nytetraynWell, this sucks. Just read that Tycho and Gabe from Penny Arcade are going to be at Otakon. Hope they'll be there next year...
Looks like the TransFormers movie coming out is more than likely going to be based on the old Marvel comics. I can dig that.
X7's opening looks good. I think it's odd that they made the choices they did regarding opening and ending themes; normally, I'd expect them to be placed opposite of what they are. Still, I like the songs either way.
So, Zero gets a spear now. Interesting, that. Red seems happy with it. Apparently, his saber-handle extends to form it, just as it does 100 years later. I wonder if that's acquired from an enemy in this case, or something else? I'm guessing maybe from enemies, since Axl is sporting a bazooka as well...
What's ironic about the game is that, from what I've heard, X's role is toned down, at least to start. I've even heard so much as he has to be unlocked, but that's not confirmed, and I'd take that with half a grain of salt were I you. Also heard he's not playable in the opening stage, same deal, though I could make sense of it as it would end up leading to one of those "we did this so you can learn an essential skill" types of things, whereas you'd be switching between swordsman Zero and gunslinger Axl. But apparently, X is really getting sick of the fighting. I'm interested in seeing how this plays out, considering. Especially considering I expect Axl to take Zero's place sometime soon for the next 100 years or so...
The way I see it is, Axl, who's cool, not as cool as Zero, takes over as X's partner. He's cool, but not SO cool as to overshadow X. Zero leaves, X gets the saber, and that raises X's coolness factor. Then X can become the swordsman in Zero's stead(until he returns it...), and Axl keeps to the gunplay. Come X8, you can have your two styles, no Zero, and a pair of characters on about equal footing in terms of popular coolness.
Capcom seems to tap my brain alot. Let's see them take this. I encourage it.
Oh, and it looks like that one pic of Axl isn't a fluke after all, but he actually does have a pair of pistols available. Nice. Legends Celeste is going to have at least one similar to that...
Speaking of similar, some people seem to be of the mind that Axl is where Zero gets his gun in MMZero, citing the two as similar. For starters, what I recall from one of the guidebooks is that Zero gets that puppy from Ciel's fallen friend. That's the biggest strike against it.
The other would of course, be that they look nothing alike, the MMZ one being a bit bigger. Of course, the Z-Saber has apparently changed over time, so that sort of cancels that argument out. But while I'm thinking of what-ifs, I do consider this. Since in MMZ, the Saber and Buster gun are combined for a more powerful weapon, if the above scenario with X using the saber happened, wouldn't it be neat in an X8 if they had some sort of team move where they combine the two weapons? I get images in my head similar to when the Power Rangers and other Sentai combine their weapons for a bigger weapon, but that's ok, Sentai and MegaMan are really about equal in coolness level.
To those who would argue, I direct your attention to the likes of Split Mushroom from X4. Or the series that preceded X. While some of the Robot Masters were cool, some were just wacky. So they can't all be winners in neither Sentai nor MegaMan. Fair?
Oh, and in closing, the main point of irony I was referring to above in regards to X7 isn't X possibly having a downplayed role in his own self-titled series(been there, done that), but the fact that Capcom USA's box art seems to make X the central figure, last I saw of it.

PS: Btw, anyone know where I can find an MP3 of the boss music from Sonic CD, with the laughter? Be appreciated, thanks.

Re: Yep...
Date: 2003-07-15 05:24 pm (UTC)First, in the name of Red, it's " a lot"
Date: 2003-07-15 03:06 am (UTC)But you know, if we're at MMX7 and if they're gunna screw us like in the MM series, the next game after this is the LAST game and they're gunna probably have to cram a lot of X story line in.
However, while i think it's bogus for them to get rid of Zero I do like Axl (he's so cute but still not as cool) and I kinda wish they'd all stick around. Plus, MMZ is kinda unimportant ONLY because if MMZ were really suppose to be the "after series" of sorts, Zero wouldn't be jumpin' around swinging his saber. I must admit that they are supporting the X-sick-of-war thing.
We'll just have to wait for the game cause rumors only confuse us.
Oh yes, and one more thing: TRANSFORMERS!!!
(cough) Ok, done now.
Re: First, in the name of Red, it's " a lot"
Date: 2003-07-15 03:42 am (UTC)As for screwing us, no telling. Still, I'd like some answers on X if they're going to be taking their time after this...
Don't quite understand what you mean on MMZero, though. Why wouldn't Zero be jumping around, using his saber?

And speaking of Red...

Date: 2003-07-15 07:38 am (UTC)Hey, we're not anal your just a slacker. ^_^ But naw, as I'm sure you've guessed I did it on purpose to bug ya.
The Zero thing was all about how Zero, if the MMX series really tied in that much with MMZ, would be sleeping right now.
Re: And speaking of Red...
Date: 2003-07-15 10:09 am (UTC)As for Zero, the Rockman Perfect Memories book features in between the X and Zero sections a brief two page description of Zero's role in the X series and events leading to the Zero series. Paraphrasing, "the 'hidden' X6 ending where Zero goes to sleep for 102 years seems to lead to Rockman Zero. Zero is to appear in X7 as well. How long will Zero continue to fight in the X series, and at what time will he go to sleep? You'll have to wait for X7 to find out!"
As far as how long he's slept for, anybody's guess. They say he was supposed to awaken in 102 years, but his capsule or whatever seems to have been destroyed sometime prior, and so he might've been awoken early, or late...

Re: And speaking of Red...
Date: 2003-07-15 12:03 pm (UTC)Either way i guess X7 will finally tell us what's going on.
Well...

Re: Well...
Date: 2003-07-15 07:38 pm (UTC)Don't be too dissapointed...
Date: 2003-07-15 04:52 pm (UTC)With a fanbase only somewhat smaller and slightly more intelligent than Zero's, but whatever.
Don't fret about not going to Otakon BD. I'd like to go too, but I'm focusing on the positive. Most of my other friends get to run around dressed as their video game/anime character of choice and buy Japanese stuff and glomp fellow fans. I get to cuddle with my girlfriend for many uninterrupted hours and probably get in some serious smooching (there's the whole "sharing the word of God" thing that's suypposed to be the focal point of the trip, but that goes without saying). What do you get? Why, BD, you're a married man. You get free sex whenever the missus doesn't have a migraine. Do any of our other friends get free sex? I think not. Count your lucky stars, man!
I mean, seriously, Red's a babe. Enjoy married life, you dog, you.
Re: Don't be too dissapointed...
Date: 2003-07-15 08:49 pm (UTC)And I know what they look like, it surprised me. Known for a long time. Still, it'd just be a neat thing to do, meeting them, and going to Otakon in general...
