What happens when a super fighting robot has no one left to fight? That’s just the question posed by issue #53 of the awesome, ongoing Mega Man comic series.

Look for issues #53, “Blue Shift,” starting September 16th, featuring cover art from Jason Piperberg and a BOT UNDER FIRE variant from superstar Thomas Pitilli!

Another New Challenger Has Arrived in Street Fighter V!

Sep 12, 2015 // haunts

Hey everyone, I’d like to introduce the second all-new character to Street Fighter V: Rashid! 

This character was announced by Ono-san at the Games 15 event in Dubai, and we have all of the details to share with you now.

Hailing from the Middle East, Rashid is a fun, easy going individual who has an affinity for technology. Although his fighting style is casual, it’s anything but laid back! Using the power of wind, Rashid is definitely one of the more difficult characters to catch. 

Players can look forward to parkour inspired, fast-paced attacks, which will leave opponents scratching their heads and wondering what’s coming next!

V-Skill 1 (MP+MK) – Front Flip

Rashid performs a high flying flip over the opponent. Pressing kick during the Front Flip results in Rashid performing a divekick.

 V-Skill 2 (Down+MP+MK) – Rolling Assault

Rashid closes the gap between himself and the opponent with a quick front roll. Pressing kick during Rolling Assault results in Rashid kicking upward at the opponent.

V-Trigger (HP+HK) – Ysaar

Rashid throws out a slow moving whirlwind that closes in on the opponent and causes damage to them if they touch it. While the whirlwind is out, Rashid can use it to increase his movement on any attack that propels him forward.

Get ready to soar to new heights with Rashid and leave the competition in the dust!  We still have many more characters left to reveal, so stay tuned for more information in the near future. Until next time!

MMLC fan art contest – honorable mentions

Sep 10, 2015 // Minish Capcom

Earlier this summer we ran a ‘ re-imagine Mega Man box art ‘ contest and received numerous outstanding pieces. Of course, only six could win the contest… but we ended up with so many great entries, we had to post s’more!

Submitted by: Jevan

Really digging the crazy eyes and flowing energy / ribbon pattern in the back, plus some slightly Manga-esque touches on the armor.

Submitted by: NiO

I love how this entry walks the line between “surreal interpretation” and “sprite-accurate presentation.” All three of the main actors in this scene are striking poses right outta the game, but each have a twist… an interesting approach!

Submitted by: Alfredo

Very stylized, very cool. Love seeing Mecha Dragon looming in the distance as Mega Man leaps away. The floating eyebrows really make this one feel distinct.

Submitted by: Terence

Whoa – this one’s huge! This wall-scroll-sized MM3 art goes for broke by showing off both the MM3 bosses  and  the MM2 bosses that would appear through the Doc Robots later in the game. The Archie influence helps make this feel like a ‘fun’ poster despite being cloaked in flames, haha.

Submitted by: Anthony

Speaking of stylized approaches… this MM4 piece gives everyone a somewhat creepy, intense vibe and I love it. For some reason I’m reminded of Aeon Flux or maybe even comic artist Frank Quitely?

Submitted by: vizcan

Closing out our first look at honorable mentions is this super-stylized, stained-glass vision of the Mega Man 4 roster. The goal was to convey the gameplay / action / overall vibe of the game in a new way, and while the geometric shapes might not do that directly, the boss arrangement around Mega Man does suggest the center hero will have to take down the foes surrounding him. You can further infer that, maybe, there is some kind of relationship between the bosses since they’re arranged in a circle… art, man!

This is just the first look at some of our additional entries – more to come, and thanks again everyone for entering!

Mega Man Legacy Collection is out now for Xbox One, PS4 and PC, with a 3DS version coming in 2016 – alongside physical versions of XBO, PS4 and 3DS!

Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition Style Tournament- Final Round Results

Sep 04, 2015 // GregaMan

After an entire  season of hot-blooded stylin’s, we finally have a final, ultimate champion in our Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition Style Tournament. Hit the jump to see!

The Final Round was swept, by a landslide, by contender Hiimtab . I don’t suspect it’ll be controversial to state that Hiimtab is one of the most cutting-edge players we’ve seen since the release of Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition.  While all of our Finalist submissions were incredible, Hiimtab has truly ushered in a new age for stylish action with innovative and explorative use of Trish. Hiimtab hinted at some groundbreaking Trish techniques in Round 3, but showed considerable growth and polish since then with this final round submission. Trish players…watch and learn.

In this gloriously defiant graph, you can see that Hiimtab has taken a whopping 43% of the vote, with Serj coming in second place and Essedieffe just behind in third. 

Congrats to Hiimtab, who will receive the grand prize–an autographed Japanese “pizza box” limited edition of the game, as well as to all other Finalists, who will receive autographed copies of the regular Japanese physical version. 

Thanks for playing, and keep an eye on those stylish YouTubers!

MMLC Robot Master List: Yamato Man

Aug 31, 2015 // GregaMan

Number: DWN-048

Weapon:  Yamato Spear

Weakness:  Silver Tomahawk

His light armor makes him especially mobile. He uses a spear to attack, but it’s pretty dumb how he has to go retrieve it.

It was only a matter of time before this Japanese series about robots engaged in deadly battle gave us a robot samurai, but who would’ve thought they’d wait until the end of the series’ NES run?

Yamato Man can be quite intimidating at first glance due to his imposing, armored stature and adept use of his giant, head-launching spear, but the illusion is somewhat dampened by the fact that he must manually retrieve his spearheads after launching them, like an inept putt-putt golfer caught in an endless cycle of repositioning and whiffing.

Use Tomahawk Man’s weapon to send Yamato back to mama -to. Yes. Your reward will be the Yamato Spear.

David Oxford   (The Mega Man Network)
It seems somehow fitting that the final Robot Master in the NES installments of the series would pay tribute to the history of the franchise’s country of origin, Japan.

Really, though, what needs to be said? Yamato Man is a robot samurai with a high-tech looking spear, and is pretty awesome. Less awesome for him, however, is that he only keeps a small amount of ammo on him, forcing him to run around and retrieve spent shots during the course of his battles.

As a competitor in the tournament to crown the world’s strongest robot, it’s funny that his original name — “Musha (Warrior) Man” — would go unused in favor of a term which instead means “great peace.”

———————————–

And so concludes our MMLC Master List! We hope you’ve enjoyed our daily look at this series’ robot roster. Now quit readin’ and start playin’!  Mega Man Legacy Collection is out now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC!
