Maybe Awakened Zero? I could see fujos being into that, though at the same time, they probably want him to be a 24/7 rape robot.
I didn't say anything about that one either way, but that works too. I've seen fujos use the bad voice acting (you know the one) to claim he was just acting when crying over Iris' death.
Yeah, that makes the most sense. She wasn't supposed to be fighting, either, so that adds some "wtf" for Zero's reaction.
Yeah. The fujos in Japan do booths of the stuff, and if I recall one featured Awakened Zero doing that as you predicted.
not to mention iris is the sister of colonel, someone he was ostensibly close to, who he had a close rivalry with prior to the repliforce rebellion.
Internet people have always given me shit for liking X3. And yeah, I get that I first played it when I was like 6 years old but you'd think the game was broken like Cyberpunk was based on how absolutely furious faggots would get at me for saying "It was fun".
You and I had basically the exact same experience regarding X3 on the Internet. I was pretty confused myself since hey, Doppler's neat, the gold armor is pretty cool, Vile coming back is pretty nifty, and so.on.
Iris is supposed to be a kid?
She always looked like she was supposed to be at least as old as X.
He looks like he's in his early 20s. Is that incorrect?
Pretty sure he was meant to look like he was in his late teens (like 16 plus) to there iirc, Iris always looked the same to me just with a focus on cuteness with her design which is what I think makes her look like she is younger than she is meant to be, especially when you look at her next to that alternate version of her from X-Dive.
There was supposedly a sourcebook whose name escapes me that pegged X's mental age at about 14 in X1. The implication is that this can increase.
Following from the above, this is actually a somewhat difficult question for a very stupid reason.
I've always assumed the X characters looked around that age. Maybe Axel a little younger, late teens.
Robot puberty is so Japanese that it hurts. I'm a little surprised how much questionable stuff is tucked away in this series about a blue robot who shoots other robots.
X being a young teenager I can get since Light literally threw a AI into a capsule to bake for decades but that is def not the age you want a murder robot to being running around in with the story.
Others have already mentioned x2 and x3, but I wanted to vouch for classic 3. I like it more than Mega Man 2. Though I'm one of the guys that thought revisiting ruined stages was the coolest shit ever.
x3 zero project I've played a bit, should really also replay 5 and 6 with that. I don't have strong memories of 5, but have vivid pangs of rage at x6s final stages.
My biggest issue with X3 was the ride armors felt like a waste of a collectible. That and no hurricane kick to cover the shoto trifecta. Aside from that, another great one.
you are correct, it is the coolest shit, even if it's obvious padding that has horrible fucking stage design, the idea and some of the tilesets are really good. the ruined aesthetic is very nice, and shows that these places fell into disrepair once the robots caring for them vanished.
Damn straight it fucking was.
Christ... got a memory hit with that one. Last time I used save states because I don't hate myself that much but my kid self was certainly dedicated. But then again I could play Contra Hard Corps solo from start to finish for the most part. And no, I never figured out how to complete a single level in Ecco the Dolphin.
I liked it cause it let the developer fully explore what kind levels they can create with the knowledge that you have all the weapons/rush powers/know what you are doing. Can really make it interesting instead of the base line of "You only have the mega buster and the slide".
Mega Man 2 and 3
