Absolutely, but I can only think of one off the top of my head: in Mega Man Zero 3 or 4 (I can't remember which), you fought two of the Beetle-themed bosses from two previous games at the same time. That battle was intense, and it probably raises the evasion difficulty by a power of two compared to fighting just one of them. More vividly, I can recall two sets of bosses from Salt and Sanctuary (which plays a lot like a Mega Man game). They're both near the end, and as long as you don't look them up I'm not spoiling anything. There's "The Unskinned And The Architect", which are an asymmetrical team: The Unskinned is a giant, lumbering monster that leaps and swats at you, while The Architect floats safely out of reach unless you have magic or ranged weapons, or just get lucky with a perfectly timed jump arc. There's also "The Forgotten King" and two of his partners which actually make a triple battle: They're all about three times taller than you (which is standard), and they all clip through each other so one is likely to always be attacking while the other two are in idle animations. I think the only way I survived that fight was little by little only with timed blocking doing recoil damage with a shield with 100% slash and strike defense. It took forever, but it was so exciting to finally put them out of my misery! (Oh, was I supposed to still do poetry? I just started geeking out too hard, and couldn't manage that one.) ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ (Trochaic Triameter Xx Xx Xx) Salt and Sanctuary, I got to the bottom. Far below the Castle. I met its true master. Now it all will make sense: Avaricious Salt-Born. ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ (Iambic Pentameter xX xX xX xX xX) Apocalyptic is "The Water Knife", the world to come after the planet warms. Conspiracy, societal collapse, some valid points about America. It takes itself too serious for me. So action-packed it almost seems silly
@Absolute Zero What do you think would have transpired in the Megaman X series if there was an alien invasion at some point?
Black devil cometh. Claws, horns, wings, Reploid monster. Evil circuitry. The cold of deep hell. That is Absolute Zero. Beyond salvation. I'm going to skip poetry for this answer, because for all I want to geek-out, I think I'm going to dilute it down if I try to force it into meter and rhyme. I think it's entirely possible that an alien species never figured out how to zap a rock with lightning and make it think (aka invent computers and by extension Reploids), so they might come to earth looking for natural resources and expect only organic life, not mechanical life. They could pretty easily wipe out all humans and animals and even plants and not expect anybody else there to fight back. So then we have earth with two inhabitant factions: Reploids and aliens. That leaves such a change in the power structure of the governance of the planet. After all, most Reploids felt it was their duty to serve humanity, and for the most part it was just mavericks who disliked humans. So, Sigma is clearly happy, humans are wiped off the face of the earth, and he's maybe or maybe not upset that the opportunity was taken from him personally. But there are certainly still human loyalists (for lack of a better word) who don't want to let Sigma and friends take over, so they seem likely to fight among themselves while interacting with the aliens somehow. I can see both sides of this new war wanting to make friends with the invaders, or at least an uneasy cooperation with them. That was all assuming an invasion happens before the X5 Eurasia Colony drop, before the Elf Wars, before the events of the Zero series, before the revival of the world in ZX and beyond. The success of the invasion would seem to have variable duration and success based on the Reploid population of the world (remember the Elf Wars killed 90% of all Reploids) as well as the military might of the remaining parts of the world (Neo Arcadia was very powerful at its peak). With factional in-fighting and the uncertainty of how the aliens plan to deal with mechanical life, there is a lot of unknown in such a scenario. One that makes me think, leads me straight into a maze, takes me there, but not. When studying writers in English I struggled, I'm rhyming and metered and sorta a poet! The classes were boring and dated and lacking. Just needed some fun and some drive, now I know it! In science I'm lucky with tricks and ideas to make it all easy with formula pattern. I try to not think too hard sometimes I headache. With mastery the next thing is already half-learned. (That was is in Amphibrachic Quadrameter [which is oOo four times per line]. I was going for Dactylic Quad or Anapestic Quad, but I had half a stanza down already and was too lazy to go back. My evaluation of Amphibrachic meter is that it sucks and there's a good reason it's not as popular as those other two I mentioned, and thusly I will likely never use again.)
*what... is the music of life?* just kidding Have you ever played rune factory? have you ever played skyrim? Have you ever tried butter on a poptart?
Ominous chanting? But that's not the right answer! "Silence, my Brother." ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ It sounds familiar. Is it like Stardew Valley? I've meant to buy that. ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ I'm a long-time fan, but I can't play it lately. Linux-life problems. I'm a spellsword-type. I want to try conjurer, like a complete mage. ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ I don't eat Pop-Tarts, I'm too much of a health nut. And it sounds too sweet. Two bagels for me, and kiwis or banana. (or lots of jerkey) ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~
Should I catch this Skitty since I don't have any in my collection? Why the change from Negative Zero to Absolute Zero? Do you ever hope to become an Administrator? Give an LV version of a Yelp! Review for Death Parade's opening? Favorite MHA opening? Favorite Dragon Ball season? (1978 or whatever, Z, Z kai, GT, Super)
(Just haikus this time, since I don't have the focus for writing six poems in metre and rhyme) ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ Skitty are quite nice, though they're not good in a fight. I say go for it! ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ Because I have grown, I quit being an edgelord. And it feels so good! ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ A useful skill is knowing your capacity. I think I found mine. ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ Five out of five stars! Mewtwo, Mew, stadium scene... Is that the wrong show? ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ Season two tourney! The emphasis on training! Hero work takes work! ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ The Androids were fun. I liked them and Cell in "Z". That was a fun part. ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~
How would you describe your philosophy towards life? Do you have a certain routine for the day? Maybe certain behaviors or actions that often present themselves during the day?
For me, when I look closely at my life I see struggle and never-ending strife. My circumstances always seem a mess. No grand order, no pattern, meaningless. Try as I might I can't help everyone, heroic work would never be near done. I can't embrace them all, there is no doubt. I choose to limit what I care about. I hear you say that I am now seeming, to say the universe doth lack meaning... That claim is fair, but let me share thoughts on the pair of "what" and "where". My heart can bear some troubles rare, but can not care for "then" and "there". If I'd compare amounts of care, it's not like air, not everywhere. Yes I'm aware, I sense your glare. I meant no scare, just wrote with flair. I think I'll share, A wish, a prayer. You're "now", you're "there". Please do take care. ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ I wish I could say the only constant is change. Oh but for some fun. Look closely and see patterns of wear in my life. It is all routine. Sleep, eat, drive, read, work. Repeat that five times each week. I will forge a change. Just under new ki, returning auspicious tides. Large joys, kept quiet.
How do you think that Megaman X5 and beyond would have been different if Iris and Colonel both managed to survive the events of Megaman X4?
Did you get the vibe in the zero series that Ciel had a major thing for zero, but zero was oblivious or is it just me? Have you ever played the zx series? (I forget if you have or not) Do you think they'll ever make a new megaman game series?
Oh no, I seem to have entirely forgotten how to write in meter in these passing months of being busy. No poetry this time, but I hope you like classic haiku! X lacked some guidance, and Colonel could provide that. They would find a way. With Iris alive, Zero has reason to stay. A reason to live. Would they find Plan B? Or would they both hesitate? I want it to work. I think it was clear. Always speechless and breathless, she clings so closely! The first half of both, but neither one all the way. But they're on Steam soon! Like a FPS? The concept has potential. Check out this project! Pineapple was ick. But now I love it as juice! Just not on pizza...
Moderate climate, we get a pleasant winter. Low of 20 F. I like to go out, but be surrounded by warmth. Hot tub or fire! I like them again, but I don't have any now. I could just buy one... But what might I get? A Pokémon would be nice! So many to choose! A Jigglypuff? Or Torchic, Duskull, Ditto? Or just all of them!
1. Have you ever thought about owning a fox? If so, what do you think would be the biggest challenge? 2. What was your favorite book series when you were a kid?
