But I can't beat Vile during his first encounter therefore Zero has to save the day, so that warrants an easy mode

I assume the easy mode is there for the casuals that might pick the game up and decide the game sucks when they die once because they didn't do Chill Penguin's stage first.

Except in MHX they changed it up so you're supposed to do Flame Mammoth's stage first. Chill Penguin gives the helmet parts, Storm Eagle the body parts, and Sting Chameleon the Diffusion Buster (or you can do the SMART thing and take Zero's weapon and get the better buster).

So who knows if they mixed it up in this one too.

Only thing it takes from MHX is the boss mugshots at Stage Select.

The control scheme making it a little more difficult to play could warrant an easy mode too probably.

If you haven't seen this, you need to. All's I can say.

(Some strong language to warn you.)

Only problem I have with his analysis is that at the end when you fight Vile, you still needed Zero to do it for you. You never really surpassed him.

I think it would've been better if he ignored the arm part and got Zero's buster instead, that would've fit with the whole gameplay/story theme thing he was going for throughout the video.

Also I wish the other X/Zero games gave you an opportunity to refill your subtanks after you die to the final boss (I know some do, like X3, but not all of them) ;-;

I know the first one does as well, possibly the second as well.

If dying to Sigma in X2 restarts you right in front of the hole you're supposed to drop in, then no. If it starts you earlier in the level, then yes.

They usually start you at the beginning of the level, at least the SNES ones do.

And for some strange reason dying to Overdrive Ostrich starts you immediately in his fight again, which I believe is unique to him out of every single boss in the entire series.

I never really understood what the hell was going on in that little scene with the rocket anyway, or why they put that there.

It's a shame Megaman will probably just sit in a corner and rust now because Inafune no longer works there. I mean, he didn't even cameo in MvCapcom 3! Capcom will probably jus release more collection bullshit and milk the games already made.

uhhh he most certainly does cameo in MvC3, several times. Even moreso in Ultimate.

and that's not even counting the non-Mega Man characters from the series that also appear, like the two playable characters of whom MM fans seem to completely ignore their existence.

Okay. That's definitely not the standard definition of "cameo" in video game vernacular though.

Well, it's not a main megaman game, so many of us consider appearances in fighting games as "cameos", rather than main appearances.

So you would say that all playable characters in the Smash series are considered cameos? According to my made up statistics, I think most would consider only the non Nintendo characters, such as Snake and Sonic, as cameos in Brawl.

Aye, those would be cameos.

Basically, MM isn't typically seen in a fighter, while most of the other characters represented on the capcom side, are. As such, in this case you could consider the non-figthing game character appearances as being cameo on capcom's side (ex: MM characters, Phoenix Wright, etc.), and the relative unknowns on the marvel side as being cameo as well (Ex: who the hell is Rocket Raccoon?).

I hear RR isn't actually obscure to comic fans but I don't know anything so take that with a grain of salt but he has dat accent so he is a good addition.

also megaman (classic) not being playable has a good side that being not bringing the godawful mvc1 moveset back since we all know capcom would do this anyway

Yeah Guardians of the Galaxy have become increasingly popular in the past few years so many Marvel fans would know who Nova and Rocket Raccoon are. The only real unknown for most Marvel fans would be Shuma-Gorath (who ironically would be more known by the Capcom fans since he's been in multiple other fighting titles now)

And actually there are more non-fighting game characters on the Capcom side than characters who came from fighting games, 18-7. (Debatably 17-8 if you decide to count Final Fight as a fighting game, which I would argue against.) I don't think that definition of cameo really fits here.

I do have to give the old Mega Man moveset props for all his specials being moves that Mega Man has actually used at one point or another, besides his Hyper Combos which are all completely made up. Even that dragon punch was from The Power Fighters. I think they'd recognize at this point that the moveset was no good (and was originally pretty much made specifically to promote MM8, hello Mega Ball and Tornado Hold, and Wood Man appears in Saturn version of MM8 so there's Leaf Shield, also Roll has her MM8 appearance) and they'd change it up if they reintroduced Mega. They completely overhauled Jill, so it could happen.
