He has a lot of the same abilities, but he plays differently enough. If you give him a faster charge shot than mega man, bam! you got a fun new character that is worth unlocking.

I rewrote that part several times. I personally didn’t think so, but wrote that because I assumed most of the people who want female RMs would argue so. I personally hate the whole gender equality thing in fiction. I understand their concern, and would make sense in some context, but in many cases they're nitpicking at an fictional work that just have a world like that.<br /><br />And people will emphasize gender. “Wow, they added a female!” is okay. Then it gets to “They're a great character because they're female!” “This is a good game because there's a girl in it!” Yeah I'm exaggerating, but that's a trend I see...<br /><br />From the update, it seems the female RM design was one of the many concepts they had. It suggest they didn't force themselves to create a female design, and they didn't force themselves to include her just for representation. I think that's really "progressive" enough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-64177834004225984782017-12-06T14:16:25.044-06:002017-12-06T14:16:25.044-06:00"It's sexist, but I think Capcom wants to..."It's sexist, but I think Capcom wants to design the females so they are easily identifiable as a female"<br /><br />It's not sexist, good grief... If anything it's a lack of sex (as in the gender or whatever) attentiveness.

Protoman was always a fighting robot (well after Wily reprogrammed him) same as Bass, same as Duo.<br /><br />You could literally play as every Robot Master in the MMPU including regular Rock, it was just a fun extra side thing for a cute little side game. Same as the X8 mode it was literally like a hack mode that just reskinned X, Zero and Axl with the already modeled and voiced navigator counterparts. How shallow and petty would it be if Roll was just a reskinned Mega Man?<br /><br />Also when mentioning side modes how would that be a waste of a playable character, as it would be specifically designed around the character but making a basically alternate Mega Man that probably won't add much to the gameplay outside of steal more spotlight from the title playable character and break consistency of the character (and yes every time Roll fought in the past it was comic relief and out of context to any sort of continuity).<br /><br />I don't even care if Roll is playable, but don't act like her being playable for no reason whatsoever after 30 years in a mainline game for the sake of it is any less of a dumb idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-83828701183148552412017-12-06T09:36:41.154-06:002017-12-06T09:36:41.154-06:00I think Capcom has difficulty in designing female ...I think Capcom has difficulty in designing female robots because it's hard to differentiate them from males. All robot masters were male minus Splash (& Honey), and they were given so much diverse designs. It's sexist, but I think Capcom wants to design the females so they are easily identifiable as a female. Classic bots can't rely on feminine associated features except theme and eyelash, so no hair, hourglass figures, and boobs like Reploids. Also since 99% of robots are male, and male was the default, they probably need to think why this specific one would be female aside from “gender equality”.<br /><br />Look positive: At least they considered having a female robot. They’re probably playing safe because this is a totally new Mega man with a new team. They have so many new things in, they need to make sure those are good. If they succeed this game, they’ll have more time and space in small things like representation in the next game<br /><br />Roll I'd be okay seeing in an IF mode. It irks me for people to want Roll to have a combat mode and fight. Rock made the choice to fight, Roll didn't. That's the main part of the story, so having Roll able to replace Rock kinda ruins it for me. Protoman is the rogue ally/rival of Megaman, Bass was made by Wily as Megaman's Rival. I'd prefer Roll to stay as support and have a new female fighter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-83597843472749252212017-12-06T03:02:36.742-06:002017-12-06T03:02:36.742-06:00There's not much sense needed to be made for R...There's not much sense needed to be made for Roll to be playable. She was already playable in Powered Up. Heck we even got ProtoMan in 9 and he wasn't important to Mega Man's story in the game. And let's not forget the playable navigators in X8. Really, just refine what you have from her Powered Up moveset tbh. She'd be a fun melee character.<br /><br />Also the idea of making a playable character only for mission modes kind of a very dumb idea. Sounds like just wasting a perfectly good playable character for nothing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-87107226850952862482017-12-05T21:34:57.553-06:002017-12-05T21:34:57.553-06:00If it's as shallow as slapping some eyelashes ...If it's as shallow as slapping some eyelashes or what have you on some random brick Robot Master, than why is it a big deal or small deal at all...<br /><br />Not saying that I'm appose to "female" Robot Masters or anything. I will say tho that female Robot Masters should use different naming conventions, in fact I rather like what Battle Network did, instead of adding Woman to Ring.EXE they just dropped the Man, and that's fine and feminine same goes for Splash. Also shoehorning Roll into an active traditional Mega Man action role (pun not intended), is also kinda unsettling for me, again not saying I mind female playable characters in that way just saying I'd rather they make more sense for it, or make Roll playable in ways that suit the character in side modes or missions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-58013707592197443432017-12-05T18:21:55.984-06:002017-12-05T18:21:55.984-06:00A "masculine" Megaman?

Capcom should slap some eyelashes on the brick robot master and call it a girl. It is literally that easy to solve the problem. I mean, they’re robots; their genders are all about aesthetics and shouldn’t impact a robot’s performance. If a prepubescent child model can be the best fighting robot, there is no excuse not to have more lady bots in various roles. Think of the fanfiction, Capcom. Just add eyelashes and do us all a favor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-59077196422040263402017-12-05T15:26:25.998-06:002017-12-05T15:26:25.998-06:00Hope Bass and Protoman are playable in this title....Hope Bass and Protoman are playable in this title.
