The Bizarre and Complex Lore of Classic Mega Man

[@TheBlackMastadonte]

WARNING: There are flashing lights at around 15:03 of the video. If you're sensitive to that please skip Thanks for watching fam. Don’t forget to like and let me know your favorite game from the classic Mega Man series below.

[@gmjjjones]

@TheBlackMastadonte hey, as a game designer, I know exactly how much production goes into something like these videos and I'm thrilled you're out here Killing it. Favorite classic game for me is easily 1. I think it holds up as a complete game even now, it's the first game I ever beat, and I used to have that foam launching mega buster . But my favorite music is from 2 and my favorite production is 7. You're asking about one of my top three franchises rn I gotta stop myself from explaining why each game is a different kind of favorite 🤣

[@lonewolffang]

I had the same problem with the first Dragon Warrior. Got stomped by slimes, and I dropped it years later after playing other RPGs. I learned how to play properly.

Dude I just wanted to say don't feel bad for getting bodied at the 2nd level in Megaman Zero, the EXACT same thing happened to me and I legit grew up playing the old school megaman games on NES lol

[@shaddowofthelost1750]

Independent thought is not free will. Free will is Megaman X's era. Independent thought allows the robot to do things they weren't programmed to do, so long as it doesn't directly contradict their programming.

indeed you are. It's easily misunderstood by some new and even old fans because of how they portray the characters tho so comments like this slap

[@kinglyone7172]

I'm not sure how much free will the reploids actually had in x era. After all, the virus removed that will and many went maverick. Yes, some by choice but apparently not many.

[@RelativelyBest]

Interesting, because that's sort of another way of saying that independent thought allows the robot to operate autonomously and make its own decisions in order to achieve whatever goal it has been programmed to accomplish. In AI research that's called Artificial General Intelligence, or AGI. It's actually potentially _very_ dangerous since the AI would prioritize maximum efficiency, so it might do stuff like step on babies because that's marginally faster than walking around them, or preemptively kill any human who might deactivate it since getting deactivated is obviously detrimental to achieving the goal. (And the goal doesn't even have to make sense because AIs don't care.) Realistically, this is how we get robots trying to exterminate humanity, rather than an AI somehow becoming fully sentient and learning to hate, like in the movies. Hence why something like Asimov's three robotic laws would probably be necessary.

[@mayborneflower]

50:56 - Fun fact: Mega Man 11 has a promotional manga that clarifies that Mega Man fought Fuse Man first and emphasizes that the Robot Masters and even the mini-boss Mechanoloids are among the fastest, strongest, and tankiest foes he’s ever had to fight period. Which, huge disrespect on Bass, King, and the Stardroids. Anyways, Rock won in the end with a Double Gear Charged Shot after spending most of the Fuse Man fight getting smoked.

[@RockSoup]

@@RJBadman I like this idea. In universe the DWN numbering system is probably considered wildly inaccurate and mostly disregarded by anybody who cares because half of the robots wily slaps his name on are heavily modified and/or outright stolen. I imagine all the folks he's stolen robots from like Dr. Cossack would hear that and say, "Oooh. No no no. Nyet. That is NOT my robot's serial number."

Not gonna hold you, the fact you came into megaman with zero is goated. It was nice that capcom made it where you can play any generation of megaman without needing to play the other(meaning you could play the first titles Megaman x, Zero, ZX, and legends eithout needing to play the original megaman). All in All, awesome work Donte😎👍

[@wilsonweiseng6485]

Fun fact: King from the manga is actually a scrapped Dr Wily project. Basically after being forgotten by Wily, King finished the construction himself and in the process, learned that humanity is weak and robots do all the work so he started the uprising

[@TheBlackMastadonte]

Oh wow. Thanks for the extra info

[@wilsonweiseng6485]

@@TheBlackMastadonte Dr Wily in the manga was surprised at first when King's army, made of Wily robots that King made from files stolen from Wily, attacked the castle. Wily did show up in the end fight between MegaMan and King but was quickly shot down by King

[@DanTheLoler_17]

Some things i caught while watching: 1) In Powered Up, Oil Man and Time Man have the serial numbers DLN-00A and DLN-00B to not clash with the first two Wily numbers. 2) The Mega Man World series is mentioned in 11 (can't remember where exactly but it's in one of the bios), directly confirming this series as canon. 3) Wily Wars goes directly after Mega Man World 2 as it's Wily's second attempt of using the Time Skimmer (now modified to go to the past). 4) Doc Robot, while not as important to the series, takes a part in the plot Mega Man 3 but was still not mentioned in the video. 5) Beat and Auto don't get a mention either, Beat was a present from Dr. Cossack to Mega Man and debuts in Mega Man 5 while Auto serves as Dr. Light's assistant and runs a shop of his own in Mega Man 7 and Mega Man & Bass. 6) Bass has his own campaign in Mega Man 10. Just a couple things that might help in a future video or just for some extra info, please correct me if i'm wrong in any of these.

[@lamarfll]

Something to point out, Bass' story in MM10 is 100% non-canon, since it's extremely self contained, and the game is about Mega Man and Proto Man teaming up.

How does Wiley keep funding all of these castles and robots? I think he's either really old money or he holds a killer bake sale. Roll: "A bake sale?! Who would eat anything that snake produced?"

[@codybaier]

Since you asked for it, here's a couple lore clarifications: - Powered Up is canon. It's a retcon of Mega Man 1. Rock being called "Mega" is just some localizer screw-up. - Super Adventure Rockman isn't canon. It was disowned by Inafune and de-canonized. He felt it was too dark to fit in with classic Mega Man. - Mega Man DIDN'T win the Battle & Chase competition. Napalm Man did. His ending is referenced in the Robot Master field guide, and MM&B CDs as having canonically taken place.

I've been working on going through all of the classic games via the legacy collections. I had played 1-6 a ton back on the NES but I'd really never touched 7-10 before, but got 11 at release. I really enjoyed getting all of the timeline/side game content as some of those I hadn't even heard of before. Thanks for the video!

[@dudenamedzelda3179]

Oh so a couple of things, Rockman Rockman is canon since it was built as a retcon for the classic games Rock is still called Rock Localizers aren't the brightest, Timeman is DRN.00A and Oilman is DRN.00B, Rockman World 2 directly caused the X timeline, I did not know that the Rockman fighting games are in alternate timeline but the reason they are is because Capcom doesn't want the Rockman Classic to definitely end this also applies to Rockman X it's the reason why the ZERO/ZX series only happens after ZERO's ending in X6 while X7, X8, and DASH(maybe Command Mission too but unlikely) happen after the X and ZERO ending, your voice is perfect for Forte and I personally believe that Rockman Forte 2 and Rockboard are happening at the same time because it's funny to imagine while Dr. Right, Wily and co are getting along and playing monopoly Rockman and Forte are assisting in the suicide of who is basically there brother. Edit: also X5's endings and X6's X only ending? Disregard them they are not canon X5's endings were retconned out of canon and X6's X only ending was the bad ending to give the player an incentive to unlock ZERO.

It should be noted that the Wily Numbers from Mega Man 4 were actually Dr. Cossack Numbers, as the Robot Master Field Guide confirms. Apparently, Ring Man & Skull Man were combined efforts of both Dr's.

Thanks fam. Yeah I definitely missed out by not getting the Robot Master guide

[@eslm-studios2996]

@@TheBlackMastadonte And Tundra Man is a Cossack built Robot Master, according to the Field Guide as well as other sources. Honestly, there are times when I wish the Mega Man Classic series was more connected.

[@funnytoothpasteman]

just opened the book up, the robot master field guide confirms that they remain DWN units in spite of being made by cossack. it also does not state that ring man and skull man were combined efforts - rather, it confirms that they were built specifically for combat against mega man, rather than being re-purposed older units. at best, it vaguely suggests that wily specifically suggested the concept for skull man ("When Dr. Wily framed Dr. Cossack, he had the Russian scientist design Skull Man to be the ideal warrior, with evenly balanced defense, offense, and speed."). wily is only mentioned in passing for ring man. the idea that the mm4 cast are "DCN" comes from the archie comics, which is not canon (i'd also note in general that the field guide is worth being a bit cautious about in general, as it follows the localisation and its weird missteps [eg; considering break man a "guise" for proto man rather than a powerup] and thus will conflict with canon every now and then)

[@eslm-studios2996]

@@funnytoothpasteman The same can be said for the Maverick Hunter Field Guide, given that it states that Dr. Cain somehow survived the attack on Abel City from the Day of Sigma, and of course, certain information is missing for Axl between the events of X8 & Command Mission,.

9:26 I think Dr. Light considers it best to give robots independent thought instead of denying them the ability, because one way or another they will develop it, so it is best for them not to get the idea that humans want to dominate machines that are capable of thought in its basic form. Look at the replicants from the movies Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049, they weren't meant to have independent thought but still they gained it on their terms anyway. In other words, there's no guarantee that giving machines independent thought is a dangerous idea.

17:25 Material and in-game evidence suggests they were built as DRWN (Right Wily) Numbers but were later switched to DWN when it is revealed Wily tampered with them (Wily tampering is the stamp that changes an existing Number to a Wily Number, as seen with the original six, or the rest later on, as noted by Right). Rockman does not explicitly learn that Blues is exactly his brother in Japanese. They keep it more vague even later on. 20:03 The exact future date is only given in localization which might not be canonical. 21:26 Likely picking up from him not being found from the collapsed castle in Rockman 3, but I suppose World interferes. 25:50 That actually applies to all Numbers.

NoooOOooO why did this video end! Great work sir, loved it from start to finish. BTW, maybe Wily started counting his robots from 9 onwards because he was working with Dr. Light when the first robot masters were created? I'm not sure about that but at least in the comic you showed he was there when Protoman was created.

Not gonna lie, if I were to make a big mega man protect that requires voice acting in the future I’d definitely ask you if you’d wanna be Bass, you do a very good voice for him and I feel like it fits SOOOOO well! 45:46 (by the way, love the vid! Keep up the amazing work!! 😎😎😎)

Dope video bro. I appreciated this as someone who grew up playing Megaman X. I wanna go back and play the originals, but they are DIFFICULT😂😂😂

Lol I feel you on that intro call out with early game level struggle. When I was little, I never managed to get past the great deku tree in OOT cause the controls didn't want to work with me. Finally returned to the game when I was like 14 and finished the game, but getting stuck in the INTRO DUNGEON sucks XD

I watched both this and the x lore video. These are perfectly made I enjoyed them soo much. I hope you'll made one about Legends series!
