Unless he's in one of those funky hologram capsule thingys.

Yes, just like Dr. Light, Wily must have preserved his memory in those odd capsules. Not only that, but he also left a Zero Virus in Zero. When Zero awoke and battled Sigma, most of the virus passed from Zero to Sigma.

Oh good Lord, not this again!

Well, if Wily preserved his memory in one of those odd capsules, then it's not really Wily that's still around making havoc all over the world. It's a digital clone of himself, which is not himself, because the original Wily died.

Zero Virus. I dunno why, but I kinda liked the Zero Virus incarnation in Megaman Network Transmission.

If you watched the video clip showing the fight between Zero and Sigma, you'd have noticed a glitch in the so called "Zero Virus" showing up just as Zero was about to destroy Sigma. That "W" that came up on Zero's helmet was the glitch and held back Zero for a moment. Sigma seized that moment to smash the helmet but in doing so, the virus got transferred into him. It was not until 3 months later when the virus fully took over Sigma's internal systems but I didn't expect the virus to further spread into other reploids by means of replicating itself as "Sigma Virus". It seems that Dr. Wily's legacy is very annoying.

I'm impressed that there is another person at this fourm that knows as much megaman as I do.

I assume the Zero Virus glitch was delibrate and done in order to restrain Zero's strength.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Maybe that's because Dr. Wily isn't totally evil. Perhaps he has some soft spot in him. I remember that he temporarily became friends with Dr. Light.

Or maybe Wily didn't want his creation going psycho and turning on him like Bass did?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes, that can be a good reason. Wily never forgot the way Bass behaved towards him.

I wonder if anyone here has already played Megaman & Bass (Rockman & Forte)? I find the game pretty hard but it seems interesting though.

[JRPomazon]

Bass was totally rebellous towards Wily. I mean, I'm suprised he never killed him....yet. Of course Wily got his revenge by dooming X into a life of constant battles. But two thing has always questioned me. Why did Doctor Light create him in the first place? And What happened to Megaman?

The X series is annoying to understand.

[JRPomazon]

Well chances are Zero killed them...

If you look at the clues left around Zero was alive during Megaman series and also active before X was finished.
Secondly Zero was still maverick during the X series when he first appears.

I never thought about that possiblity. Zero most likely kill either (or both) Bass and Megaman. And it meations in the power battle games that Protoman has a problem with his main system. So He might succumb to that. But, I have a feeling that Zero didn't kill Megaman. It's a bit of hunch I have.

[He-Man]

Yeah. Well, I have a lot of Mega Man and Mega Man X games. Here's a list of what I've got, and all of these games work well; If a game has a star to the right, it doesn't have the manual:

Mega Man (NES)
Mega Man 2 (NES)
Mega Man 3 (NES)
Mega Man 4 (NES)
Mega Man 5 (NES)
Mega Man 6 (NES)
Mega Man 7 (SNES)
Mega Man 8 (Playstation)
Rock Man & Forte (Super Famicom)
Mega Man Anniversary Collection (Playstation 2)
Mega Man X (SNES)
Mega Man X2 (SNES)*
Mega Man X3 (SNES)*
Mega Man X4 (Playstation)
Mega Man X5 (Playstation)
Mega Man X6 (Playstation)
Mega Man X7 (Playstation 2)

I happen to be a big Mega Man fan myself, but I happen to be a purist, so I tend to stick with the original and X series.

[Ken the Wandering Soul]

One of the things I have been trying to do is figure out the placement of the series.

There's pretty much a solid line for the first few series.

Battle Network - Original - X

After that, there's the matter of Legends and Zero. As some know-

*SPOILER*



Megaman "Trigger" ends up finding Elysium, which is something that X (I believe it was at the end of X5) said he wanted to build. However, there's Megaman Zero right after the X series as well. It makes me wonder...

[FalconZero]

But two thing has always questioned me. Why did Doctor Light create him in the first place? And What happened to Megaman?

Hm....let's see. Actually Dr. Light created the original Megaman first. I think that Megaman was a mechanoid. Later, before the start of the X series, either Dr. Light updated the original Megaman and converted him into Megaman X, or he built another robot, I do not know which is right. Megaman X, unlike the original Megaman, is a reploid and the very first reploid to walk on Earth. If there's nothing mentioned by the Capcom staff about the original Megaman in the X series, then we could perhaps guess that he has been converted into Megaman X. Our guesses may not be right.

If you look at the clues left around Zero was alive during Megaman series and also active before X was finished.

Yes, Zero was still alive. X passed away but I think he probably became some kind of cyberelf and he could still help Zero keep on fighting. For those of you who do not know how a dying reploid can become a cyberelf, see the ending in Megaman Zero 2.

Corrections: Megaman is a robot. X is also a robot but without Asimov's 3 Laws. X is the prototype of all Reploids.

That's a one off case because the Dark Elf was responsible for that particular conversion.

X technically wasn't converted into much. His body still remained intact and fully functional somewhere within Neo Arcadia.

Oh yes, a robot. Not much of a typical mechanoid. And X is indeed the prototype, I forgot to add that one.

Well, wasn't his body guarding the Dark Elf? And yet, Elipizo destroyed it at the end.

[FalconZero]

I'm talking about original series....not X- Zero....

And as for your theory I suggest you go play Megaman Zero 3 as it kinda crushes the idea.

Oh sorry. I thought you were referring to the Zero series.

I haven't played Megaman Zero 3 but like I said, what I guess may not be right. It's better to wait until Capcom releases more games from which we'd know better.

[JRPomazon]

Actually, Dr. Wily and Dr.Light were very good friends. Or at lest, colleuges(SP.?) until the first megaman game. Wily worked as Light's assissant until, Wily found a cooler way to use Light's robots.

Colleagues. Yes, I thought of that so. In Megaman III, he tricked Dr. Light into believing that he has become good.

[He-Man]

Speaking of MegaMan, I'd like to know everybody's opinion about these particular tunes:

Oh, by the way, has anybody aside from myself beaten Mega Man 7 for the Super Nintendo? Dr. Wily is a very tough final boss. He's no doubt toughest in that game. I can beat him without recharging, and I've done it twice. That's a very hard feat. I unfortunately have to recharge two to three times on average. The four orbs he fires when you face his saucer are a major pain in the neck.

I have beaten that game weeks ago, first with Megaman and then with Bass. I used a special item that boosts your attack whenever your health runs low and that gives Wily more damage than using normal weapon.

I guess Wily pulled all this trick just because he wanted to destroy Bass.

Ummm, Junior Rubay, you're actually talking about RockMan & Forte for the Super Famicom and GBA, right? I have both that game and Mega Man 7, and can easily tell which game somebody is talking about.

[FalconZero]

No dude, I don't have Super Famicom (don't know what sort of system it is) and the GBA version is too fast for me to play properly. So, I used the Super Nintendo version along with a Japanese translation patch.

[He-Man]

Ah. I understand now. You said you were playing the Super Nintendo version with a Japanese translation patch.

Which reminds me, were you talking about Mega Man 7? Or not? I'd just like to get this cleared up so I don't get confused.

[FalconZero]

Which reminds me, were you talking about Mega Man 7?  Or not?  I'd just like to get this cleared up so I don't get confused.

First, I played and beat Megaman 7 in Super NES. It's in that game when I first met Bass and experienced the battles with him. Later, I played the sequel, Rockman & Forte and beat it too. I played both Megaman 7 and Rockman & Forte in Super NES.

For now, I'm playing Megaman Zero 3. There seem to be more interesting things about the Dark Elf. I originally thought it was Sigma who was calling upon Omega to awaken but it wasn't him.

[He-Man]

How far are you in Mega Man Zero 3, Junior Rubay? I don't have it, so unfortunately I would not be able to help real well. Oh, by the way, have you seen my video game collection in this forum yet? There's literally a ton of Mega Man games shown in many of the images of the games. I've got more Mega Man games than any other series alone, including the entire original series; Not just the anniversary collection, but all the original formats too. I've got the manuals to every single game from the classic series. I'm going to show those from Mega Man 1 - 7, but there's no need to show the one from 8.
