What, have you never played anything other than Classic?

X series introduced Dashing and Wall climbing

As for your second question

Quote

Inafune mentioned he was going for a classic style sidescroller game in the project video which means he wants to go back to Classic Megaman jumping and shooting.
He's going to use fan feedback to help develop the game. A great idea, but the fans will manipulate him as much as they can to have the game play....like Classic Megaman.

Uh... they kinda are. No cod for quiet a while has bought an significant evolution to the series.

Yea, just like pretty much every other series out there with sequels.

I've never even played Classic Megaman. Great stupid assumption there just because I contradicted you, you're a real winner, aren't you.

Yeah, and Inafune totally said in this project description "that was dumb, we're scrapping that shit, no wall climbing and dash".

Read Titiln's and Nero's posts. You're completely misunderstanding the term "classic sidescroller", and you're instantly blocking out all the information printed right in the project description that directly contradict your understanding of it. Have the short version here : "classic style sidescroller doesn't mean Classic Megaman, you're an idiot".

Not really. Plenty of series have the sequels change the workings of the gameplay or at least build off of what the previous games introduced. Cod has been using the same exact mechanics with only very slight updates ever since MW.

Oh pls, you'll forever be the COD guy to me

Just for fun, a few game series which changed a lot from time to time

Mortal Kombat
Mario
Final Fantasy
Secret of Mana
Tekken
Ridge Racer
Jak & Daxter
Sonic
Saints Row
Persona
Castlevania

So, you've played X series then? Or any of the later ones?

Oh, I must have missed the part where he said that he was adding wall climbing and dash.

OH WAIT

For example, his limbs might become giant magnets, enabling him to walk up walls or rip away enemy shields... Or maybe extendible spring-loaded hands would allow him to activate far-away switches or work as a grappling hook... Or he could have a tank-like body, easily crossing over spikes and pushing objects around the levels... These are just a few possibilities we’re considering (the game is still in the design phase), but you get the idea!

And it’s not only killing bosses that gets Beck new powers. Taking out other enemies with a certain weapon, or hitting them in their weak spot, can expose one of three types of “xel” (pronounced “cell”) energy Beck can sap (if he’s quick enough), store, and unleash later via his own Mighty Skills! Give yourself a double-jump and speed boost for a limited time, unleash a concentrated flurry of powerful punches directly ahead, or set off a blast that hurts everything on the screen!

All right, let's say I am. That still leaves the fan feedback he plans to get. And as it turns out, the fans want classic Megaman style.

Megaman (Surprise!)

King of Fighters

Mario Kart

Yes, ignore the new types and moves and held items and just focus on the formula their battles have, which have also changed with the addition of Double, Triple, Rotation, and Multi battles. That's also not counting the extra stuff like the Battle Frontier and other post-story options.

KOF as one of the games series without significant evolution?

King of Fighters

Okay now you've never played any fighting games, have you ?

To be fair the most vocal megaman fans pretty much want ANYTHING related to megaman from classics up to ZX and Legends to come back. I really doubt many of them just like the classic series alone. If I would've to give feedback I would totally go for a Zero/X route with fast movement mechanics.

In fact I don't think I know anybody who prefers the classic games over X and Zero at this point so many of the people backing this project are bound to be fans of X/Zero more than classic megaman and the gameplay description from the kickstarter page pretty much hints at a game with varied skill/abilities with all the stuff related to transformations (Sounds like something close to the A-trans from ZXA) and being able to use enemies as weapons or get specific powerups from them (Zero 4's Zero Knuckle).

Yea, because Black Ops II still has the same linear campaign that doesn't let you change the ending and Killstreak rewards are still at 3, 5 and 7 kills.

.....wait a minute.

Well, i'l give you the black ops campaign I guess, but that killstreak thing is extremely minor. If that's the kind of a thing you consider a big change then no wonder you don't have terribly high standards in terms of sequels.

You totally did. Again, see Titiln's post for the quote :

What, you think he'll put all that but NOT THE DASH AND WALL CLIMB ? Not those specific two because they're poop and they smell and he hates them, maybe ?

Complete speculation, also completely disregarding that he's doing the thing he likes in the first place, and the thing he wants to do is the next step from the X series. It's also ridiculous to claim that the Internet will bully him to the point of retracting over that.

Megaman (Surprise!)

Oh, you mean Classic Megaman, Megaman X, Megaman Zero, Megaman Legend, Megaman Command Mission, Megaman Battle Network, Megaman Starforce, Megaman ZX ? Even by accepting that all the games in each series was a copy-paste (which is wrong already), the sheer number of very different series is enough to call bullshit on that.
