Which Mega Man is the best?
Which Mega Man is the best?
As a sprite: 8
Out of all the Mega Men: Rock
Out of the games: There’s too many valid choices honestly
This one
The latest, of course.
Can I just talk about how dumb the original 8 bit sprite looks? He looks like a fucking gingerbread man, why have they never updated it?
7's sprite is best. Good, plucky proportions. Decent action pose. He looks focused about what he has to do with that minor scowl.
Because Capcom.
What did you think every other Mega Man sprite was retard? Fuck you
Mega Man
FUCK CLASSIKEKS
the tighter the better

I know there's a surprising amount of female Mega Man fans out there. What robot master typically gets husbando'd, or at least has the most amount of fangirls?
Programs truly are the patrician's choice.
Don't care. Post robot girls instead.
Quick Man
If I had to guess, the most popular RM husbandos are
>Cut Man
>Quick Man
>Metal Man
>Skull Man
>Pharaoh Man
>Tomahawk Man
>Tornado Man
>Fuse Man
>Tundra Man
>Magic Man
And for miscellaneous characters, I dunno. Enker or Terra maybe?
From what I've seen, Volnutt by far.
On that note, why is he always referred to as Trigger by anyone connected to lore?
It was lost in translation, but in Japan the Casketts gave him the name of Rock Volnutt, while his real name was Rockman Trigger, back when he was an Irregular (Japanese version of Maverick) Hunter. The English localization decided to have the Casketts call him "Megaman Volnutt" and changed his classification from Irregular Hunter to "Purification Unit" for some reason. So now the Casketts were really good at guessing his name.
I have the most nostalgia for 8/Bass, but I'd probably say 9/10 followed by 11.
The only ones I don't really like are 7 and Wily Wars. Wily Wars especially doesn't look as good as the rest.
It's easy to pick up on the fact that Volnutt is just made up and Trigger is real, but what connection does he have to the X series? The lore dump in Legends 2 doesn't seem to fit the idea of him being a Hunter at all.

Megaman 11's is honestly a little cheap looking but underrated
He's an irregular hunter in purpose only, it would seem. There's no "Maverick Hunter HQ" or any organization from what we are told. He's just a unit who perhaps hunts rogue units that would be a risk to elysium and the Master, most likely.
The only thing that is certain is it is far, far into the future of X. Maybe stories of X's greatness made humans of that era model their irregular hunter after the blue armored robot of legend. Or maybe thanks to the retcons of ZX and the conversion of X's remains into armor, some piece of that was used in the construction of Trigger.
I was wrong, apparently Purifier Unit was a translation of "Purging Officer", though the Japanese equivalent to Mavericks is still around, as what "abberants" originally referred to. Purifier Units/Purging Officers were tasked to terminate Irregulars/Mavericks.
Interesting, thanks for the detailed explanation.
What are you on about Its? Its actually one of the few sprites from that era of gaming that isn't hideous. NES mario for example is disgusting
Yeah 7 is best. They messed up his face for 8
Not the best example. Mario's sprite is pretty clean and easily communicated honestly. The mustache and overalls are very hard to misinterpret. With limitations at the beginning of NES' life, that one is impressively well done.
Not real connection to the x series because legends events occur years after the zx-zxa series
Can reploids actually reproduce with each other? I never understood why there are male and female robots.
X
Kind of but all that happens after the zx-zxa events
The one from the classic games. I like 8's design a lot. 11 is quite good too.
Although lately i am liking Geo a lot too.
