ROCKMAN CX: Update #SPECIAL: METSU SHORYUKEN

[Heavy Sigh]

I'm probably going to regret this, but it's time for ROCKMAN CX.

Rockman CX is a ROM hack of Rockman 2 by Zenkaku Himajin, completed on August 23rd, 2016. Compared to other Rockman 2 hacks such as Rockman No Constancy, CX is a much larger project, reskinning the entire game into something that kind of resembles the Mega Man X series if you squint, with Megaman X3's intro stage, a MMX-style dash, and an entirely different plot, starring the devilish Rockman CX.

Unfortunately, Himajin has no idea what level design is.



Rockman CX #1: Oh no! A rock! (Heavy Sigh, Shinryu, and Simply Simon)

[SAJewers]

eh, I wouldn't say he has no idea on Level Design, it's just he made the game way too lard that it borders on Kaizo.

does mega man lard come in an e tank

[Divemissile]

man it made me sad how poorly designed this rom hack is, but i love the intro level. it takes a simple title screen and turns it into a full fledged mega man x3 level was just great

the robot master levels, though, are sometimes too hard and sometimes too easy, usually too hard, but whispy woods's is ridiculous in how much nothing is going on

that's not mentioning the bosses which do whatever the hell they want because "woa cool asm!!" i'd still recommend the hack though, the less stupid levels are actually quite nice in a way

[Zephyr_DragonLord]

I thought at first that was Bass, and questioned why they used Mega Man's model, of all things, but it's apparently copy Mega Man... which just raises even more questions.

Also, betting right now that Fire Mario is the hardest """Robot Master"""" stage. And that Poison Mushrooms will be an obstacle.
Also... Cheat Man. WHY?

[Heavy Sigh]

In this episode, Simon falls apart, and we find a useful upgrade.



Rockman CX #2: Super Mario Brother (Heavy Sigh, Shinryu, and Simply Simon)

[Grounder]

[Heavy Sigh]

Today we delve into Vegetable Valley for some good old family friendly incineration



ROCKMAN CX #3: A Literal Tree (Heavy Sigh, Shinryu, Simply Simon and SnoruntPyro)

[Heavy Sigh]

If Mega Man Universe had ever come out, it would've just been this forever.



ROCKMAN CX #4: The Video That Broke Simon. (Heavy Sigh, SnoruntPyro, Shinryu, and Floor)

[Grounder]

And to think someone wanted raocow to play this hack.

THIS MESSAGE WAS BROUGHT TO YOU BY FLOOR™

[SAJewers]

Really can't wait for CHEAT MAN.

[Heavy Sigh]

Paperwork is a balm for the Quickbeamed soul.



ROCKMAN CX #5: Dogs Are Horses (Heavy Sigh, Combat Lobster, Shinryu, Lesgirl, and TorpidTypist)

[Heavy Sigh]

What if...Quickbeams WERE platforms?



ROCKMAN CX #6: The Saddest Rider Kick (Heavy Sigh, Combat Lobster, Shinryu, Lesgirl, and TorpidTypist)

[Divemissile]

i've actually never beaten kamen rider guy because of how dumb his lasers are. looks like i didn't miss much!

though i'm curious what the punch does exactly. guessing it does a lot of damage or something?

[Heavy Sigh]

And so, today we prove our worth as The Greatest Enemy In History.



ROCKMAN CX #7: The Z-Foot (Heavy Sigh, Shinryu, NGDBSS, and Clark)

[Heavy Sigh]

This, more than anything else, proves that Himajin desperately needed an editor that could tell him one thing.



ROCKMAN CX #8: Cheat Man (Heavy Sigh, Shinryu, El Generico, NGDBSS, and Simply Simon)

[SAJewers]

aww, he didn't get to do the stupid "swap health bars" move.

[alleightbits]

That was the most bullshit boss I've ever seen.

[Divemissile]

this is about where i gave up on this game: the boss is blatantly not fun. it's pretty funny to watch but playing it feels like you could get a better experience trying to flip a coin 10 times and get all heads, nothing makes sense! it seems as if the hacksmith made this boss in one night, thought "thats hilarious" and then never touched it.

the only good part is that cheat man is a perfect representation of the game; very impressive and cool to watch but horrible to play and just unpolished

[Heavy Sigh]

Cool guys walk straight into explosions.



ROCKMAN CX #9: Are Those Spikes Instant Kills? (Heavy Sigh, Shinryu, El Generico, NGDBSS, and Simply Simon)

[Bean]

That was a level, all right.

[Heavy Sigh]

Editor's note: Joe died on the way back to his home fortress.



ROCKMAN CX #10: The Ultraman Cometh (Heavy Sigh, Shinryu, El Generico, NGDBSS, Combat Lobster, and Simply Simon)

[Divemissile]

i dig the idea of wily dropping his own mega man into dr light's home to mess stuff up actually; and the cloud effect looked great. though, i wish the level was something more than a retread of wily 1, which doesn't make sense considering that's on a mountain and dr. light's house is on a grassy plain.

the castlevania 3 path choosing looks radical but i know it's just going to be an excuse to use quick beams and guts platforms in an annoying way

[Heavy Sigh]

Because people in my own thread asked for it, and why should you guys miss out on quality content?

Rockman CX #10 Special: The Ultraman Goeth

[Heavy Sigh]

It seems like this stage is optional, but it really, really isn't.



Rockman CX #11: I tried hard for you (Heavy Sigh, Shinryu, El Generico, NGDBSS, the mad scrawls of Combat Lobster, and Simply Simon)
