Nightmare versions that I created for my rewrite of Megaman X6. There, Gate's original designs were altered due to the virus spread throughout their bodies. Making them the worst version of themselves. I still need to finalize the rest of the designs.

Wolfang was based on a Varcolac

Turtloid was based more on the Jinman

and Sheldon was based on a Chen, from Chinese Mythology

Random Sketches compilation #1

Due to the little time I currently have to draw more often, I decided to upload this compilation while I bring new drawings (some of them are relatively old but I'll probably re-draw them when I have free time)

[mezzopurrloin]

Following the defeat of Blizzard Wolfang, X is now in search of another investigator at the Inami Temple. Rainy Turtloid is a Reploid with powerful defenses and the ability to summon acid rain. He won't go down easily.

Mega Man X6 Ending

The final stage is little more than the boss rush + the final boss thankfully. It’s got some pretty creepy and atmospheric music though.

And yeah obligatory mention to how X6 has a seriously awesome soundtrack, probably the most diverse in the franchise. Most Mega Man games tend to stick to a single genre, usually either rock or techno. X6 is mostly rock but also throws in jazzy pieces, relaxing tracks like Rainy Turtloid, Shield Sheldon’s sounds pretty magical, Metal Shark Player is oppressively atmospheric and Gate 3′s creepy.

Honestly Zombie Sigma might just be the most interesting thing that has ever been done with the character, which is prety damn sad on its own (Insert obvious joke about how he’s a nice metaphor for the state of the X series at this point)

People always say that he’s easy but honestly his second phase is a mess with all the shit he just flings at you, it feels like the best way to win is to just tank hits and keep hitting him back while also destroying as many of his minions as you can in order to make them drop health to keep you going.

Like before the ending differs depending on the character who beats Sigma

I hate X’s ending.

I know it may seem strange, but it really does piss me off.

I don’t like any of the endings of the X games because they usually just amount to the characters angsting over how “the cycle of violence keeps going ì, when will this war ever end blah blah blah” and it’s just another example of the X series using useless angst that won’t really go anywhere for “deep” storytelling.

On paper I should prefer what X6 gives us here, as it’s a more upbeat, hopeful ending about how the characters won’t give up and will try their best to rebuild the world and stop whatever threat will come their way. These tend to be some of my favorite kinds of endings: the light at the end of a dark tunnel

However in this case it doesn’t work for 2 reasons:

1) It’s too cheery given the situation: Gate was Alia’s friend turned mad, she’s seeing his corpse right there and yet she’s all smiles like she doesn’t give a shit

The same applies to X, y’know the pacifist who’s all about not wanting to use violence and wishing he could solve things peacefully? Why is he all smiles as he drags the corpse of his friend’s former colleague around?

2) This isn’t ACTUALLY a happy ending if you ask me. It’s actually a pretty cynical one. This wasn’t supposed to exist. This whole game wasn’t supposed to exist and only does in order to keep milking the series down to the last drop, so when the characters act all cheery and hopeful about how they will “fight for the future” and stuff it doesn’t feel like a message of hope to me, it feels like Capcom quite literally telling us “yeah there are more games on the way and we’ll keep making more ‘till this cow’s a dried up husk of its former self. have fun!”

Oh but then we get to the REAL juicy one! Let’s take a moment to talk about Zero’s ending!

So on its own merits there aren’t any real issues with this ending: Zero decides to go into stasis for a 100 years in order to have the Maverick Virus inside his body analysed so that scientists can find a cure. It’s basically a tie-in to the then upcoming Zero series.

However many issues arise as soon as you remember that X7 and X8 later became a thing.

And Zero is in both of them.

This makes no sense

The most common (and likely) interpretation is that this ending takes place many years into the future at the very end of the X series. However there are issues even here.

It just makes sense logically for this ending to take place not long after X6 because...Zero now KNOWS he’s a carrier. He know that he’s a danger and doesn’t want to create problems for the world.

If we go by the interpretation that this ending takes place way later we have to assume that it took Zero YEARS to figure out that “Yeah maybe I should let scientists study me instead of running around the world with this Virus inside of me”, which not only makes no sense for the other characters, who seem to have no issues with this and never bring this up again (sans some small mentions in X8), but it’s also nonsensical for Zero himself, since he’s always shown himself to be perfectly ok to sacrifice himself for the greater good, ever since X1!

Some people take this to mean that, evidently, X7 and X8 cannot be canon, compounded by the fact that they’re not rererenced in the Zero series.

Guys.

No.

Them not being referenced means very little, characters like Alia, Signas, Dynamo and Gate are also never mentioned across the Zero games, so the likes of Axl and Lumine never being mentioned doesn’t immediately make them non-canon

Besides everyone knows that some last minute changes had to be made to the story of the Zero series in order to accomodate for the retcons introduced by X6, such as Zero being resurrected and Sigma still being around, so why should X7 and X8 be so impossibly non-canon or whatever, given that they’re far less convoluted plot-wise? If there’s a game that they could’ve easily written off as non-canon that’s X6, given its retcon-riddled plot and the fact that it was the first game to have absolutely zero input from Inafune, and yet X6 is 100% canon to the Zero series.

I’d much rather keep X7 and X8 as canon rather than imagine a split timeline like some fans do. ‘Cause that’s what the series needs right? A Zelda timeline.

So how do we explain all of this mess?

Well here’s my theory:

How does the Maverick Virus spread?

Yeah it can spread via airborne means like we see in X5, but how does it jump from robot to robot?

Because we never really see this happen do we?

I mean Zero has been a carrier ever since before X1 and yet, depsite the Zero Official Complete Works claiming that he’s been unwillingly spreading the Virus while working as a Hunter, we never see anyone being infected by him, and he’s constantly in contact with a lot of people! Alia, Signas, fuck, Colonel and Iris! And yet none of them has ever been infected!

The only time Zero has ever infected someone was with Gate, who came into contact with one of Zero’s remains, seemingly some of his internal components, and maybe Sigma when the latter fractured his head gem.

My theory is that the only way for the Virus to pass between Reploids is if one comes into contact with an infected Reploid’s interior mechanisms. It’s kind of like how real life viruses spread to other hosts through contact with infected liquids like blood or saliva. This would explain why Zero is still able to work as a Hunter with no issue, since there would technically be no issue being in his presence, and the Virus would only get a chance to infect another if he were to bet injured.

This is still problematic though since his work literally requires him to fight and get injured pretty much every day, so he’s still a danger and there should be a plethora of safety measures: what happens when he returns to base all damaged? Does he get put in quarantine? Does he have to wear a robotic face mask? Since the Virus can even infect simple machinery like we see in X5′s intro how the fuck do the Hunters even repair him without someone or something, even simple equipment, getting infected? Does he NOW get to repair himself?

Sighhhhhhhhhh.......

Rainy Turtloid (Inami Temple)

[sentient-rift]

Here's a challenge: get Rainy Turtloid here, then say "Cowabunga!".

"That one may not be as easy as the others, but we will do our best! Now someone bring Rainy Turtloid here!"

"Here's an idea. Instead of dragging him here and leaving him confused, why don't we, I don't know, call him on the Dimensional Communicator?"

"That works, too! Give the call, sis!"

NOW CONTACTING RAINY TURTLOID...

"Hello? Who is this?"

"Hello, Mr. Turtloid. I'm RiCO, a Navigator of the Deep Log. Would it be alright to request from you to say 'Cowabunga?'"

"Would it be alright to ask 'why?'"

"Think of it as a special greeting."

"Oh. Well, in that case, Cowabunga, my friends. Now, if you excuse me, I'm a little busy here, so I'll have to hang up now."

"Not a problem, Mr. Turtloid! Thank you so much for your time!"

MISSION COMPLETE!

(Special thanks to Rainy Turtloid. Just a reminder that he's just a guest in this ask and not a real muse here.)

Hyper Age 1: “Twenty-thousand years ago, Earth is a wondrous, bizarre world filled with great danger, not the least of which is the beginning of the Ice Age. To avoid a really bad frostbite, the planet's majestic cartoon creatures-and a few small, slothful ones-begin migrating south. The story revolves around sub-zero heroes: a king, a hornet maverick, a pink grumpus and a bizarre combination of a gingerbread cookie and brave soul that is known as Gingerbrave.”

Hyper Age 2; The Meltdown: “With global warming threatening their once-icy domain with widespread flooding, Dark Cacao Cookie (Patrick Seitz), Gramble (Sam Riegel) and Blast Hornet set out to find a safe haven. Along the way, another cookie (Lucy Liu), who thinks she is a member of a robot boy band, joins the travelers on their perilous quest.”

Hyper Age 3; Dawn of The Monsters - “After Gramble (Sam Riegel) pilfers some monster eggs, Dark Cacao Cookie (Patrick Seitz), Blast Hornet and the rest of their bizarre pals enter a mysterious, underground world to rescue the hapless grumpus. During the course of their mission, the gang encounters many creatures great and small, including hungry carnivores and a relentless, monster-hunting Brazilian named Jetstream Sam.”

Hyper Age 4; Continental Drift: “Gingerbrave’s continuous pursuit of an infernal jellybean has world-changing consequences for Dark Cacao Cookie (Patrick Seitz), Gramble (Sam Riegel) and Blast Hornet when the continents split apart. The continental crack-up separates Dark Cacao and his friends from the rest of the herd, including Dark Cacao’s mate, Chocopearl Cookie (Lucy Liu) and rebellious son Dark Choco Cookie (Isaac Robinson Smith). The pals are desperate to return home, but a pirate (Kellen Goff) and his ragtag crew stand in their way.”

Hyper Age 5; Collision Course: “Dark Cacao Cookie starts to worry when his son Dark Choco Cookie announces his engagement. Still unlucky in love, Gramble volunteers to plan the couple's wedding. To Dark Cacao's dismay, nothing can stop the upcoming nuptials, except maybe the end of the world. When Gingerbrave accidentally launches himself into outer space, he sets off a chain reaction that sends an asteroid hurtling toward Earth. Now, the entire herd must leave home to explore new lands and save itself from Gingerbrave’s cosmic blunder.”

Mega Man X6 Part 3

Aww yeah we’re in the shit zone now!

Blaze Heatnix: what is this shit? What even is this?

This isn’t a level, it’s just short bits of level design put inbetween an absolute PLETHORA of fights against the same garbage miniboss, that you have to fight under increasingly more annoying circumstances.

Unlock Zero and then beat Infinity Mijinion to get his skill: it’s the most surefire way to deal with those monstrosities, otherwise if you try to attack those weakspots individually with THAT kind of level terrain? It’s gonna be an absolutely miserable experience for either character

Blizzard Wolfang: I hope you like ice physics coupled with X6′s trademark enemy placement and with the arbitrary disabling of wall jumps because....the walls are slippery I guess?

Zero’s double jump is pretty much required for those falling ice block sections: if you get crushed you lose like half your health and if you get stuck between two blocks the open space between them freezes and instantly kills you!

Rainy Turtloid: More shitty enemy placement assaulting you with no rhyme or reason every 5 seconds but this time...in the dark (with the Nightmare effect, more on that can of worms later)! With a gimmick that forces you to search for and destroy small devices! Isn’t that awesome?

The last segment requires you to use the Blade Armor’s mid air dash in an EXTREMELY pixel perfect fashion in order to make it through those tight passages littered with spikes, but honestly I just let myself get hit by enemies and abuse the I-frames....except for the Light Capsule where it’s just not enough so I’ll have to come back later...uuuughh

Metal Shark Player: in many ways the worst of the main 8 stages. Technically Blaze Heatnix’s is worse due to its issues but at least in that case there’s a “simple” solution as previously stated.

Here though?

That Ride Armor at the start is pure trolling, I’m sure of it, it’s there to make you think you’ll be able to make it through the whole level using it but NOPE you’re forced to abandon it a mere minute later. Fuck you too, game.

It’s stop and go the level! With some absolutely bullshit level layout and ESPECIALLY enemy placement, with those goddamn Nightmare bastards that can pass and shoot through walls, and some can even come from off screen while you’re dashing like mad to get past the current crusher section.

And if you die? You get booted all the way back to the start of that specific section, forcing you to go through that slog all over again and again and again until the next thing to get crushed is your fucking controller!

These levels are shit enough on their own...then we also add the Nightmare effect

Oh the Nightmare effect...

So you may have noticed some weird obstacles appearing in the levels every so often, like the aforementioned darkness in Rainy Turtleoid, or fire raining from above in Blizzard Wolfang or the random icy terrain in Metal Shark Player

That is the Nightmare Effect, a system that makes it so that everytime you beat a boss, an extra annoying obstacle appears in other levels. For example by beating Blizzard Wolfang those ice platforms appear in Metal Shark Player

It’s a system that exists exclusively to aggrevate the fuck out of you and to make these levels even more unenjoyable.

And worst of all: it’s explained to you in the most unintuitive of ways

At the start of the game Alia tells you that if a stage is highlighted in red a Nightmare effect is taking place: that’s technically bullshit

What the red tint means is that:

1) The Nightmare enemies in that stage can now once again drop Nightmare souls upon defeat

2) A Nightmare effect related to the stage you have just exited from is now affecting the highlighted stage

HOWEVER

Even if the stage stops being highlighted there will STILL be a Nightmare effect, simply that of the latest level you have visited (assuming that level’s Nightmare effect is applicable to the highlighted stage, since only certain effects affect certain stages). Bottom line: you can never fully avoid the Nightmare effect, there will always be some amount of crap to be dealt with. If you have full knowledge of how it works you may manipulate it to make it a bit less infuriating by tackling stages in a particular way, but you’re only gonna know any of this by looking it up on the Internet since, as I’ve just pointed out, the game ACTIVELY confuses you on its mechanics, either on purpose or due to this game’s piss poor translation I dunno.

Phew... well next episode is gonna be a bit filler, as I’m going to get most of the stuff I’ve missed, which I’d normally not bother showing but I will this time for the purposes of showing more of this game’s crap design

But most importantly I’ll show you a hidden but very important cutscene that pretty much no one playing this trainwreck will ever know about without consulting a guide
