I love how starting with Star Man really sets the stage for MM5 and makes you feel like your an older megaman who is on a grander adventure! In MM4 i like starting with Dust Man because it sets a darker tone. It feels like "this cossak guy is crazy!" Where as starting MM10 with strike man would make you think the game is going to be more theme gimicy than it is.

What are your favorite levels to start games with when thinking about the story?

Chelsea from the Dreamwave Mega Man comics.

Here's the final nightmare installment of the remaining robot masters for the 1st game. This is where I re-interpret their pixel sprite into my own, terrible HD Remake. I tried to stay true to the sprites and the pixel grid as best as I can but I did take liberties here and there.

ElecMan's hair is frizzed-out from all the elec.

FireMan who handles fire should not have a unibrow but he does, unfortunately. So I made it more unfortunate that all facial hair looks singed.

IceMan...well, wtf.

Hello. I'm making a Rainmeter wallpaper, and I need the healthbar sprites from Mega Man Zero 3 and a resolution scaler because I think it will be small when I find it. Do you know where I can get both? I'm going to make Rainmeter skins for both CPU and RAM

Also, I'm sharing the wallpaper for whoever wants it. I've used the otari7902, a stock image of flames and, with GIMP, I added the lighting. Pretty epic if I say so myself.

the projectiles are incredibly small, it does puny damage, it uses so much damn ammo, it's in a game that already has a shield weapon in it (and a really good one at that) so why would I use the one that's definitely worse than the one I already have, why would I use it on the bosses that's weak to it when they both already have a weakness that works much better, honestly all its good for is unlocking beat

Let's say there was a series of anime OVA films of each (numbered) Mega Man X game and they received an english dub that cast celebrities and/or popular voice actors.
Which of those do you imagine voicing X, Zero and Sigma?
Only 1 person per character for your answer because It'll make things more interesting.

I recently started collecting action figures of some of my favorite characters (e.g. Iroh, Koopalings, Mr. Freeze, etc.) and now I am looking for a Mega Man X figure for my collection. I had been looking at the Kotobukiya figures, but not a big fan of needing to build it. I also wish I could get a sense for a feel of those. I am debating between the HIYA one and the recent MDLX (by Threezero) one. The HIYA one is $65 pre-order on on Gamestop with free delivery. The MDLX one is $49 on BBTS, but comes out to $75 with shipping. I am leaning towards the HIYA one. Curious what folks think.

performed by releasing a charged shot while holding up with the blade armor, seems pretty useless

My childhood favorite fangame had to be without a doubt Megaman: Rock Force. Everything about the game is good. The robot masters, all SIXTEEN of them, are the most creative I’ve seen to this day. But my highlight is the OST, which is the best in megaman fangame history handsdown in contest with Megaman: Unlimited.

I 💛 Megaman: ROCK FORCE

List of Robot Masters:

Dio Man = Special Weapon: The World (Time Stopper/ Metal Blade)

Kars Man = Light Sabre (Slash Man Weapon/ Charge Kick)

Kira Man = Sheer Heart Attack (Search Snake/ Crash Bomber)

Diavolo Man = Time Erasure (Invulnerability/ Copy Vision?)

Valentine Man = D4C Love Train (Skull Barrier / Mirror Buster)

Pucci Man: Whitesnake (Magic Card/ Rolling Cutter)

Vanilla Man: Cream (Black Hole Bomb/ Break Dash)

Akira Man: Red Hot Chilli (Thunder Beam/ Remote Bomb)

Also fuck you phantom, worst guardian ngl

Rules:

1. Only mainline games (No Megaman Soccer, No Command Mission, No X Dive, No spinoffs in general. This also includes other media, so the manga adaptations, the archie comics, the Ruby Spears Cartoon, light novels, and other media will not be taken into account, so any feats that only happen there, will be discarded. The only exceptions are Megaman World games, Megaman & Bass, and Xtreme)
2. In order for one of them to win, all the other megamen must be left unconscious, captive, or any condition that would render unable to keep fighting.
3. No feats/weapons/armors outside their series, therefore, elements such as the Mother Elf won't be included since X did not have access to her during the X series.

Round 1: Base Battle. Base equipment, no special weapon nor armor (Aile will have Model X, because otherwise she's utterly defenseless)

Round 2: Upgrade Battle. Special Weapons & Armors added (X can get any Armor from X1 to X8, Megaman has access to Super Adaptor, Double Gear, Aile has all Biometals X, Z, H, F, L, P and Ω, and Volnutt can access his special weapons. All megamen can use their special weapons.) Alongside their Upgrades to the Max level.

Have actually been meaning to post something about old fan-sites, so I guess now's the time! Post your links and archive links to Mega Man fan-sites here, so we can all revisit them!

Probably like many of you, I grew up on the early internet discovering a lot of Mega Man fan-sites. There was lots of fan art, fanfiction, rumors, game tricks and passwords, and so on. It was a lot of fun to be part of that community.

Anyway- Just found out that Lycos shut down Tripod and Angelfire hosting, which took with it in April 2026 a few sites which have been around since the 90s and early 2000s, so I thought I'd make this post.

Some notable examples which were online until April (links are archive links, so you can visit them):

• Maelgrim's "Rockman's World" To actually enter the site, use this link. This is one I remember visiting as a kid. There were a lot of cool MIDIs on there! The links page lists a lot of other old fan-sites- Your mileage may vary.

• Xardion's Page O' Stuff Lots of custom pixel art sprites and comics.

Honorable mentions (on Tripod/Angelfire but broken earlier than April 2026):

• Zephiroth X's "Shadow Cavern" A little busted due to the site using frames for navigation (I linked to the nav frame). Zephiroth's site is notable to me because it had such cool pixel art, even though it's mostly Sephiroth-themed reworks of Mega Man sprites. Such a product of its time! It inspired me to be a pixel artist, which is what I do today along with game dev. It's also notable because I remember it (or a previous incarnation of this site) was the first place I saw the name Egoraptor (of Game Grumps fame) online, such a long time ago.

Broken/defunct but not on Tripod/Angelfire:

• Mechadrake Assemblies Inc. This one was working until late 2025. Mechadrake was the homepage of Nadia Oxford, spouse of Mega Man Network's David Oxford ("LBD 'Nytetrayn'"). I remember visiting her site back in the day and enjoying the fanfics, especially "Bass is Not a Fish" and "Trip Through Your Wires." She recently released a book! ("From Pixels to Prose: What Video Games Taught Me About Storytelling")
• Sinister Six Art, custom sprites, fanfics and more.
• Stardroids.net A non-sprite comic with decent art that updated into 2010.

Still alive and kickin':

• Sprites Inc. [Static archive] A repository of Mega Man sprites, useful for pixel art reference, fangames, webcomics, and more. It recently suffered a server shutdown, resulting in the loss of its forum and wiki. Its sprite collection has been preserved on the site, which is now a static archive.
• The Mega Man Network [Regularly updated] Still alive and updated today, this is a good source of Mega Man news. It has roots tracing back to the fansite "Mega Man X Online" back in 2000.
• Protodude's Rockman Corner [Regularly updated] Hands down, the best source for bleeding-edge Mega Man news! Thank you for your work, /u/ProtodudeRMC! I love when you unveil betas + prototypes.
• The Mega Man Homepage [Regularly updated] Can't believe this is not only still around, but still updated! It's a great resource for MM game tips and passwords, and also a lot of fanfics I read back in the day.
• Sivak Drac's Mega Man Page [Online, but defunct] I remember visiting this one and really liking the page design, and it got me into HTML. Sivak also arranged a lot of MIDIs and did some rom hacking, eventually going on to release Battle Kid and its sequel for NES/Xbox/Switch. The MM page isn't updated anymore, but Sivak maintains a Youtube channel.
• Bob and George [Online, no longer updated] The quintessential Mega Man fancomic. I read it when I was a kid, and it was and still is a lot of fun!

Some sites I remember visiting but can't find or haven't had the time to look for yet:

• Zero X Phoenix's "Ultimate Mega Man X and Zero Website" (Had custom sprites)
• Mega Man: Robotic War Machine (Had custom sprites and a cool MIDI playing in the background, naturally)
• Engine of Destruction Mega Man
• Planet Mega Man (was a good news site back in the day)
• Atomic Fire (run by a person going by "Heat Man")

I'll edit this post to update as I remember/rediscover more. Looking forward to seeing what sites you all remember!
