I dunno, I can see Capcom getting the wrong idea entirely here.
Mega Man 7 on Virtual Console!

It's Nintendo's crossover game IP, and I doubt that the amount of copies sold would translate into interest for a Capcom IP. People could be purchasing or intending to purchase the game for other reasons.
Regardless, I think the model's cute. Nendoroid, please.
Pretty sure Melee was the reason Fire Emblem got localized in the first place.
I know it's a bit wishful thinking, but it's possible.

Fire Emblem is whose IP again?

That doesn't matter! The hype around Mega Man being in Smash could spread awareness.
Plus the hype surrounding the inclusion would make Capcom realize that Mega Man does have a sizable fan base. (They pretty much at some point stated that no one cares about Mega Man)

Well, it could happen, I guess. Same thing happened with Strider 2 and Marvel Vs. Capcom 1. (Granted, I don't know if Strider 2 ended up selling all that well, but yeah.)

That was exactly me. No joke, I was literally screaming and crying at that moment.
The way he is being represented is just amazing (even though he looks like he'll be a little awkward to use), and I really love how his design seems to be a chibified version of Ariga's.

So I got Mega Man 2 on the WiiU virtual console and I have to ask, who on earth balanced this game? Seriously I believe this is supposed to be the weapon -> boss that's weak to it chart
Flash -> Quick
Quick -> Metal
Metal -> Bubble
Bubble -> Heat
Heat -> Wood
Wood -> Air
Air -> Crash
Crash -> Flash
Then you look at a damage chart and go WTF
Crash takes out Flash, Wood, and Quick in 7 shots
Metal takes out Metal in 1!, flash and bubble in 8 shots
Air takes out wood in 8, crash in 4, and quick in 7 shots
Heat 1 takes out nothing extra fast
Heat 3 on the other hand takes out Metal in 7, Flash and Air in 4, Wood in 2, Crash in 5, and Quick in 3
Seriously how the heck did this happen?
Flash -> Quick
Quick -> Metal
Metal -> Bubble
Bubble -> Heat
Heat -> Wood
Wood -> Air
Air -> Crash
Crash -> Flash
Then you look at a damage chart and go WTF
Crash takes out Flash, Wood, and Quick in 7 shots
Metal takes out Metal in 1!, flash and bubble in 8 shots
Air takes out wood in 8, crash in 4, and quick in 7 shots
Heat 1 takes out nothing extra fast
Heat 3 on the other hand takes out Metal in 7, Flash and Air in 4, Wood in 2, Crash in 5, and Quick in 3
Seriously how the heck did this happen?
I think this crossover will open up possibilities in the way that, they may be willing to do their own take on the Crossover with Nintendo, or perhaps something ala SMT x FE. But with this it's finally a faithful transition to HD unlike the unfortunate tragedy of SFxT.
Also would buy Nendo!

Capcom will pay Villager a hefty amount of Bells to cancel Mega Man
I am just excited about Mega Man being in Super Smash Bros. He is the character I was really disappointed didn't make it into Brawl, and I am happy that they fixed that oversight. I don't care who else they announce for Smash Bros. now, I am happy with the cast list.
My typical boss order in MM2 goes:
Metal->Wood->Air->Crash
I can tackle Bubble or Flash anytime after Metal, Quick anytime after Flash, and Heat anytime after Air and Bubble (since I can't make those stupid jumps without Item-2).
I actually like that MM2 doesn't have a standard boss progression. It feels fresh coming back and playing it after playing other Mega Man games. I think more games in the series should have mixed up their structure like that. It was one of the few advantages I will give MM2 over 3 and 4.
MMX was also broke the mold a bit, since the key element you need to beat one boss is actually the dash boots, which means beating Chill Penguin opened up two other bosses to beat easily. That makes going through MMX a bit less structured than the typical boss loop.

for MM2 I go:
Flash Man (so I can have Time Stopper, that way I don't have to wait in segments of Air Man and Metal Man's stage, waiting sucks)
Quick Man (Boomerangs are good for certain enemies like those spring ones on the ground, but Bubble Lead is an alternative)
Metal Man
Bubble Man
Heat Man (got that disappearing block segment down)
Wood Man
Air Man (weapon is great against some like the Sniper Joes in the mechs, useless against others)
Crash Man (this weapon sucks, so I fight this guy last)
This is an optimal run for me because it satisfies my compulsion to create a continuous loop of weaknesses. Assuming you don't get Game Over, you can get four e-tanks to prepare you for a Skull Castle run if you need them.
Weaknesses absolutely demolish bosses in this game. Using Metal Blade against Flash Man and Bubble Man, Air Shooter against Crash Man, it's just sad. Whereas in MMX the bosses get helplessly stunned (most X series bosses' weakness leave them helpless anyway, rare exception is Infinity Mijinion and perhaps some X7 fights because a lot of them are structured awkwardly), the bosses in MM2 barely have any invincibility after getting attacked. Plus, a lot of MM2 weapons are spammable, unlike future games.

In other news, that Mega Man in Smash Bros thing sounds like good stuff. I was pretty convinced that there wouldn't be differences in roster between the two versions, but now I have doubt =(
Of course, they will not touch Mega Man. I was actually one of the people who thought, when first watching the Direct: "who the hell is that...Astro Boy? why is Astro Boy there?....oh, damn, score one for missing the obvious...."
Also, I've said it elsewhere, and I'm not the first, but he looks AMAZING. Much better than the Mega Man Universe look. I can't remember the last in-game appearance he made anywhere, but this is a nice depiction of new-gen Mega Man Classic.

I actually hated that you had to get the dash in Chill Penguin. I always, always have to go there first since it's so essential. Thankfully X starts with the dash in later games...
I don't need to charge the X Buster to beat the game either, but it's such a central mechanic it really should be available from the beginning.Well, you don't NEED the dash to beat the other Mavericks in MMX....
Goes double for when I'm trying to race through the game as fast as possible (and why would you play it any other way?)
Haha, well, I'm just saying that all the Maverick stages in MMX were designed to be cleared without the boots, having them just makes things a lot easier. MMX is pretty easy overall, so I usually make Chill Penguin the last Maverick I beat to spice things up. The maverick fights play out a LOT differently when you don't have such an easy escape maneuver.
MEGAMAN IN SMASH ;_; Finally.
HECK YEAH! MEGA MAN IS BACK.
Best thing to happen since Mega Man X series.
I'd kill for a Powered Up 2... Playable Metal Man and all!
Now I'll agree.
No they haven't

It looks like it to me: Same emotionless face expression, when he gets hit his model resembles the same sprite animation in the 8-bit games, just about every animation I've seen so far greatly resemble the 8-bit sprite's animation.

Like I said earlier, MMX is hardly the first game where a weakness completely overwhelms a boss.
I know lol my issue is in MMX and MM1 each boss has one clear weakness and all the other weapons just do normal damage to them. MM2 some bosses have so many weakness and are so weak they might as well just die when I walk in the room.

...I hope Smash isn't going to get Megaman Curse because of this.
Really? This is kind of the first time I've ever seen his 8-bit sprite so well realized in higher definition. We've had a gabillion differing renditions of the original Blue Bomber when it comes to proportions, I don't see the problem. Well, I see your point on him looking emotionless, but still!

To clarify, it was Capcom of Japan saying that Mega Man isn't popular in the US. Seth Killian (who I do believe is no longer with Capcom) actually had to defend the US fanbase.

Personally, I fail to see a problem with that and actually like it.
There is a Megaman Curse? Since when? What are its symptoms?
If Mega Man is in, the game will be cancelled.

At least the game was announced this time before it gets cancelled!
Megaman in Smash was my most wanted character, and is my personal E3 megaton.
As for MM2 orders, I usually go Metal->Air->Wood->the rest.
Never stopped them from cancelling games before!

Same. Ultraton!
I think from what was shown, my favorites are Flame Sword > Hard Knuckle > Slash Claw

In X1 they wanted to introduce the dash mechanic while easing MM fans into it. That's why level and boss design accommodates both.PKrockin said:
Playing fast is fine, but speed running an X game is pretty pointless overall.

While we all are hoping for a new MM game due to this, we all know it won't happen. At least we have this.
(I'm still secretly hoping for a new MM game.)
