Round 2! Mega Man X vs. Rikimaru

[Raziel]

Arena: Black Cloud Industries

In the Red Corner, the bubble-helmeted Maverick Hunter, the Blue Bomber, from Mega Man X: Mega Man X!!!

And in the Blue Corner, the physical embodiment of silence, darkness with a blade, from Tenchu: Stealth Assassins: Rikimaru!!!

The boiler fires light the industrial complex with an eeire, orange light. Sparks fly from the giant gears grinding overhead. The darkness is pierced by the flash of the firelight off of X's Force Armor. The eyes of the ever-watchful ninja examine his steel surroundings from the shadows. The battle begins. Will blood spill? Or will it be oil?

[Kuja]

I havnt played X in a very long time and never played Tenchu.
Can someone give description + attacks ? ;)

[!King_Amazon!]

Look at the previous battles.

Psh, anyway, a highly skilled ninja VS a robot boy with blue armor and a few guns and skills? No way Mega Nerd would win.

[Kuja]

Actualy i think it would be highly possible if *Mega Nerd* Would destroy many of the access to him removing any kind of suprise attack that could come from Mr.Ninja.

[!King_Amazon!]

It doesn't matter, Rikimaru is a ninja, very fast, Mega Man wouldn't have a chance, he wouldn't even see his death coming.

[Kuja]

Meh il wait to see for more post and il go for the one that no one stand for.

Have you seen X in his Shadow Armor? He can then stick to ceiling, step on spikes without taking any damage, etc. Also, he can use a saber as well with that armor.(He doesn't have to use the Force Armor right?)

I pick the Shadow Armor because it will turn X to a ninja sort of robot, making this match more fun. Beside the abilities to walk on spikes and stick to ceiling, X's movement will be also a lot faster. He fires shuriken, or ninja star, instead of his usual energy shot, and uses a Cresent (Energy) Sword attack when charged up.

With Shadow Armor, X can equip 4 parts and 1 limited part to further power up it. The four parts:

Speedster - Increase X's walking speed, (which will be quite fast combined with Shadow Armor) and the speed allows for longer jumps.
Quick Charge - Charging takes only half the time.
Rapid 5 - Let X to shoot at a faster rate. Normally, 5 shots per screen, but when combined with Speed Shot...
Speed Shot - Further increase the shooting rate by 1.5

For the limited part:
Overdrive - For a limited amount of time, X can rapidly fire Charged Buster Shot, regardless of armor.

[Kuja]

In what game X get the Shadow Armor ?

[uncapped]

I believe it's X2, but I honestly don't remember. I haven't played mega man in ten bajillion years.

[Juggalo]

Rikimaru can stick to the ceiling...STEALTH STRIKE...HOO HAH...Rikimaru wins

[Senesia]

It is X6.

I am sure that X can detect Rikimaru (with some sort of Radar.) Stealth Killing doesn't work on this match, because X will always be on guard. (In Tenchu, you can't stealth someone if he's hostile...)

I am not too sure how much damage Rikimaru could deal to X with the sword...He might have to depend more on Grenades and sticky bombs, et cetera.

[Raziel]

Let's see some more action here, people! This can't be all that you have to say about this battle!

[Medieval Bob]

I don't even see why it's an issue. If Megaman has everything available to him in all games, then he would completely overwhelm Rikimaru. I'm going to guess there are 20+ Megaman games giving him 160+ weapons to choose from, four sub-tanks, and lots of upgrades(including body shield, life regeneration, effective double and triple jump, dog armor, fly armor, invul-to-spike armor, punch-down-walls armor, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc). He has a beam sabre (which does half-life to any boss).

Due to the sheer amount of firepower, durability, and flexibility of Megaman, Rikimaru has no hope.

[Kuja]

In some game his standard armor is diff. making it incompatible whit some of the games. Not to mention 160 weapons ? He doesnt have space on his suit to put that many equipment. Ever tried to plug 15 toaster in whit only 2 plugs ? That just make no sense. And from what i remember he cannot change of armor in stage.

But yeah X would def. Destroy Rikimaru.

[Medieval Bob]

He has all the weapons because he has a menu screen. There is no other explination as the armor changes color as well when you change weapons.

[RoboticSilence]

I havnt played X in a very long time and never played Tenchu.

Don't post this, go rent games and play them. Experience is the best research.

[Kuja]

Right and by the time i play them and finish them well the fight will already be over.

When he change weapon the armor change color. He doesnt change of armor.

He doesn't have acces to all of his abilities. X and mega Man are two completely different, unrelated characters. The Mega Man we are discussing only has access to the weaponry from the Mega Man X games. So, he has about seven games to draw from, not twenty.

[Sovereign]

Actually i was reading up on the mega man past. Apparently Mega Man X was the original Mega Man. Dr Light had stashed him away in a capsule for 30 years for diagnostics to be run on him. Unfourtunatly Dr Light died before mega's diagnostics were done. Dr. Kain found him in an abandoned warehouse and modified him. So i THINK , based on this one website, that mega will have acess to all the weapons. Besides if youve ever seen the short lived mega man anime (i have them on tape), when x comes back in time to stop vile and spark madrel, he tells Dr. Light and Mega man, "i cant believe that this is where i was built."

[Raziel]

It's not the same robot. I remember distinctly. The two don't even exist in the same continuity. X was a reploid that was programmed to emote and to think individually unlike other robots. He was held in stasis for a number of years, and was discovered eventually. I can't remember if the other reploids were copies of X or if they already existed by the time he was reactivated. One way or another, it's not the same robot. His name isn't even technically Mega Man, his name is X.

[Kuja]

Actualy i am starting to be SICK of ppl saying he isnt the same and i couldnt hold my statement cause i didnt remember where it was he got the *nickname* X.
But here is the proof.


When Rock was modified into Megaman, Dr. Light incorporated revolutionary new designs into Rock's neuro-processor. Later on, he makes these designs even more novel and sophisticated. These designs were so new, that Rock had to continuously be tested to make sure he would never violate the first Law of Robotics: "A robot must never harm a human being." The good doctor grew old, and had no one to continue his work. So, he sealed Megaman, now designated as subject "X"


http://perso.wanadoo.fr/dazeland/Megaman2a.html (story of megaman before he became known as X)
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/dazeland/MegamanXa.html X series (take not the proof is in the first paragraph)

Started as a man became a cyborg(Megaman) and ended as a reploid(X).

[Senesia]

Some said the two series have no relation whatsoever.

He is only referred to as Megaman X occasionally in Megaman X2, and in other times he is called X.

In Megaman X, all we know is X was created by Dr. Light in year 20xx, then sealed for diagnostics test. Then he was discovered by Dr. Cain 100 years after that. THEN Dr. Cain imitated X's design to create Reploids.

[Sovereign]

IM pretty sure that he was sealed for 30 years. It was zero that was sealed away for 100 years. THen he awakens then starts the megaman zero series.

[Senesia]

He had the diagnostic test for 30 years and then was sealed for 100 years.

[Kuja]

Yeah well X is a nickname dont you think it would sound gay if he was called megaman x everytime ?
Rock, Blue Bomber, Megaman, X.

Would you find it logical if in game he was Called Rock the Blue Bomber Megaman X ?

:p
Thats why he change name and doesnt keep the last one.


On the select screen of Megaman X5 it s either you pick Megaman X or Zero

[Raziel]

Well, one way or another, the point is moot. The decisions have been made, and a winner has been declared! Please make a quick stop at the Bracket Thread for the winner announcement!
