the whole scenario reminds me of
Rob Liefeld was hired by Marvel to do a run on Captain America. He sucked. IIRC they fired him prematurely so he created this comic as a way to get all his Cap ideas out and Marvel sued.
awesome
so, who won?

But DC didn't sued for Supreme (Superman clone), where it got a lot of rep thanks of Alan Moore as writter.

This was announced when my flight took off. Now I've landed and you're telling me they've raised 200k?

Absolutely more like MMPU. Check the video at 4:07 for a preliminary model of Beck:
Just as a heads-up to anyone who saw that mockup screenshot and got the idea that the game will be 2D ala Skullgirls or Rayman Origins/Legends*. That is not the case.
* there are some 3D elements in Legends that use painterly textures to blend in better with the 2D sprites; I don't think there's gonna be much of that in M#9 either
Weapon morph!
Guys, this almost never happens. Not even for the most blatant clones. And on the rare occasions that a suit was filed, I can't think of any cases where the court ruled for the prosecution.

I think Liefeld ended up having to change the name or something. I want to say he went out and bought an oldass comic IP called Fighting American and named it that.
That said, as blatant as some of this stuff is with Mighty no. 9 (and frankly I wish it weren't so blatant, it sort of cheapens it for me) I don't think Capcom will sue.

I doubt Capcom would try to shut this down unless they just plain hate Inafune and Mega Man fans.
...
Shit.
...
Shit.
Don't think they have any grounds here.
It was complete and utter greed, not hatred.
Although if they have anything megaman-related planned at all, they might go after it.

Capcom won't shut this down... they don't need the negative publicity going into the next gen. This isn't a small fan project, this is the ex-creator of a ton of many fan loved series of Capcom.
Thanks for the gif Paulo! Hopefully more people will see that and start quoting it instead of the mockup art...
...I think it's slightly too early to determine if this comparison is valid or not. I haven't played every single MM game, but I sure don't remember any full-body transformations...just minor armor tweaks and palette swaps. I kiiinda hope they get a bit further away from Roll and any scrapped MML3 companion designs when it comes to Call though...
There was a settlement. The character was barred from throwing his shield.

unless that means rockabilly brown girl is in, I'd be down with that

Just came back home and decided to see how much the project got, and its almost 225k. Anc Capcpom still wonder if people are interested in a new Mega Man game.
Point taken.

This he did. He changed the design of FA's shield and dropped the mask (per court order) and made Bucky female. I bought the first issue and it was completely forgettable.

I thought about bringing them up, though perhaps French law is different from Japanese law. Edit: Also the CEO of Gameloft works at Ubisoft too.

Do you think Capcom would have allowed Sakurai to put Megaman in Super Smash Bros if they did? I understand there is a narrative that Capcom is going out of their way to oppress Megaman fans, but that's simply not the case.
That reminds me of this little title Capcom put out...

YES
Yes, and I'm not part of that fanbase. Licensing out Mega Man was just a business decision, it has nothing to do with like or hate.

Backed with $40.
Seems like much of the old classic Mega Man crew is involved, which I like very much.
Maybe their next game will be "Mighty Legend No. 3" for 3DS hahahahaha...ha...ha.... Please do it

But it does have a lot to do with apathy. In a lot of ways, apathy is worse than hatred.

Again, I don't think Capcom has some irrational hatred towards Megaman. Just to compare, Sega initially said no to Sonic being in Brawl when Sakurai requested.
