karamazov80 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 No. Zero's a zero. Should have been Megaman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Yes. Megaman. I downloaded Megaman I for my PS3 over the weekend. It's all in Japanese and a lot harder than I remember it being. So, it looks like MvC3 Thor is the modern Thor. I would LOVE for DST to revisit him WITHOUT a powerhouse chest piece. The Moviemates and the Disney set look so much better than either of the modern Thor releases. That chest piece just kills him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobsterman Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Yes. Megaman. I downloaded Megaman I for my PS3 over the weekend. It's all in Japanese and a lot harder than I remember it being. Try downloading the new Megaman 9 and 10 releases for the Wii (if you have one). They will destroy you. It's like the game designers took everything you remember about and that made you good at Megaman games, and tweaked it just enough so it seems the same, and yet is nightmarishly more difficult.

karamazov80 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) I downloaded the demo for MM9 on PS3, and damn. . .it was way more frustrating than the originals, which is saying something. I didn't bother downloading the whole thing, because I know I would never get through it. Though I think MM9 crosses a line to the ridiculous, I do like the idea of a game actually being difficult though. Nowadays, fans don't want to struggle through a game, so they're made more lengthy than hard (or are given multiplayer modes to give the game legs). Back in the NES days? They were just hard. I tried for hours recently to get past one part of Ghosts and Goblins, and I just had to give up. When you start the game up again--you start at the beginning. I'm gonna buy an extra Arthur Minimate just so I can take all my bottled up G&G frustrations out on him.

Nothing can be as hard as Megaman 1. The unforgiving jumps, the nearly impossible Wily Stage 1 boss (the blob with the eye), and just the general toughness makes Megaman 1 one of the hardest games I've ever played. Megaman 9 is a fantastic return to form, but it's more in line with Megaman 5 in terms of difficulty. Just throwing that out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Now here was me thinking that this thread was for the Minimates & the other Marvel vs. Capcom thread was for the conversations about the unforgiving jumps & the ....er..wily stage 1 boss C'mon it's bad enough trying to follow the Minimate news let alone learn the black arts of whatever the f*c6 you are prattling on about That includes you Sam. -assertiveheadsmate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MinnesotaIceman Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I tried for hours recently to get past one part of Ghosts and Goblins, and I just had to give up. I think the farthest I ever got was the halfway point of the first level. Nothing can be as hard as Megaman 1. The unforgiving jumps, the nearly impossible Wily Stage 1 boss (the blob with the eye), and just the general toughness makes Megaman 1 one of the hardest games I've ever played. Megaman 9 is a fantastic return to form, but it's more in line with Megaman 5 in terms of difficulty. Just throwing that out there. Harder than Mega Man 2? That game, for me, was a challenge. IIRC, the farthest I got was that pink dragon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dio Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Thanks for the feedback, Dio. As a non-gamer this train of thought wasn't something I considered before. Everybody loves to cite Street Fighter wave 1 as a sign that this license is doomed to fail, but as BHM mentioned before those were vastly underrated waves that came pretty early in Minimate history and so may have had several factors working against them. Of course there's no guaranteeing the same issues won't hound MvC3 this time around, but I like to think that back then Minimates were still finding their voice (having just been newly acquired by DST at the time), and with the Marvel mates having made it to 37 waves this line might stand a better chance. I bought what I could of the SF mates because I appreciated their nostalgia factor, though by the time I discovered them the line had already been dead and buried. Marvel still has an audience and people are still enjoying the games, who's to say that this line can't make both work in their favor? Yeah, I wish I got into collecting Minimates sooner so I would have gotten the chance to jump on them. Personally, I blame Hollywood Video since they went out of business XD Yes. Megaman. I downloaded Megaman I for my PS3 over the weekend. It's all in Japanese and a lot harder than I remember it being. So, it looks like MvC3 Thor is the modern Thor. I would LOVE for DST to revisit him WITHOUT a powerhouse chest piece. The Moviemates and the Disney set look so much better than either of the modern Thor releases. That chest piece just kills him. To be fair, they made the original Mega Man games easier when they brought them over. I downloaded the demo for MM9 on PS3, and damn. . .it was way more frustrating than the originals, which is saying something. I didn't bother downloading the whole thing, because I know I would never get through it. Though I think MM9 crosses a line to the ridiculous, I do like the idea of a game actually being difficult though.

I'm gonna buy an extra Arthur Minimate just so I can take all my bottled up G&G frustrations out on him. Yeah, I played MM10 at a friend's house and you have to do everything perfectly. They seriously put a lot of time into making these games. Especially the jumps, oy. If you're off by a pixel, you die. What I really like about 10 though (not sure if it's the same for 9, as I haven't played it yet) is that you can compete for the fastest times on playing through levels, and you can watch other people's replays. I also like the challenge mode, if you practice enough you can get really good at the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm 1:08 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Umm... Why are we talking about Mega Man games when Marvel vs Capcom 3 just came out today? I would have bought the game already but I'm going to save some money and wait for a deal. I do have to say, though, the Minimates really made me more excited for the game.* *board mandated Minimate comment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronotrigger Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 hey storm get it from Kmart. They're offering 25,000 pts with the purchase which equates to about 25 dollars. Umm...

TBT! Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 OK I'm going to take the not as subtle as Either Rob or Storm1:08 route... This topic is for MvsC3 MINIMATES, if you want to talk Videogames (Especially ones that are not MvsC3) then we have a Whole section devoted to just that... T.

Deadpool Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I totally adore that little guy Zero (?) what a winner. He really aughta have two regular hands. If DST doesn't include another one, I'll be sorely disappointed. He's known for his sword, not the buster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secaucuscollector Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I was super excited when I heard the news and even ore excited when I thought of finally gettin my hands on a Guile minimate....but then... I found out Guile isn't in MvC 3 so my highest moment and lowest moment were just mere seconds away..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) If you want to see a silver lining, though--if this line succeeds (odds decline the longer it takes to get these on the shelf), then that could open the door for more videogame characters from similar franchises. . .if a Capcom deal is easy to put in place, then DST could conceivably do a couple of SF IV box sets. I don't want to speculate too much, but I do think this partially opens up the long-closed door regarding the potential for SF characters we don't have yet. And if he ended up as he does in my mind's eye, a Minimate Vega would easily be in my top 5 Minimates.

storm 1:08 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 The pics of MvC Ryu shows that he has a sculpted chest gi, which I don't really like but fits the muscular look he currently has. That kind of makes me sad that if Dan gets released, he won't have the painted gi look I like from the SFII wave 2 prototype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 As far as I know, Dan isn't in MvC3. I guess he could be DLC at some point, but I'd put his chances at being a minimate at less than one percent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
