Robot Master/Maverick Invitational: Day 80

[MrBRulzOK]

After delivering yet another sound thrashing, Skull Man claims victory once more. Clearly we have yet another dominant champion on our hands. Things are only getting started though as his reign has only begun. His next challenge is yet another of the oddly named Mavericks from X 5. How will he fare against this latest adversary?



Skull Man (Mega Man 4)

Skull Man is a Robot Master created specially for combat with balanced offense and defense by Dr. Cossack when he was working for Dr. Wily in Mega Man 4, and is considered by most fans the toughest Robot Master in the game. He attacks with shots from his arm cannon, and can generate a skull-shaped energy shield called Skull Barrier for protection. Skull Man only moves or attacks when Mega Man does the same (However, he doesn't move if the player only jumps).

vs



The Skiver/Spiral Pegacion (Mega Man X 5)

The Skiver is a Repliforce Reploid left over from Mega Man X4, who soon succumbed to the Sigma Virus. He was apparently friends with Colonel as he questions Zero, if used at the time, as to why he killed him. Skiver guards the Orbiter Wing for the Shuttle, and he flies about and throws Wing Spiral.

Ill take SKull Man here. Other guy I refer to as "Spiral Pegasus" because I liked the early MM X games where the guys names were a combination of their weapon/attack ability and what animal they are. For the life of me I can't remember any of their Japanese names. Americanizing their names or "dumbing them down" is the only way I can remember the maveriks.

Same here. The later Mega Man X games tended to get way too weird with their names for the Mavericks. 5 is the perfect example of it considering they named them all after various members from Gun and Roses. Really, why would you even do such a thing? Were the translators that bored with the game?

Based off yesterdays hint I was expecting Smoke Man

I don't know. Some of the guys in X7 and X8 didn't even give you a clue as to what type of animal they were from what I remember.


From X5, two guys I remember giving the redubbing treatement were "Spike Rose" And "Tidal Whale". The game was a bitch anyway, atleast let people have the honor of good character names because they don't sell very well with us dopey Americans.

Like the previous maverik. Launch Octopus, Okay he's an Octopus that has missle launchers, perfect! Atleast he didn't get renamed "Billy"

Skull Man has the lead.

The next match will be up later tonight, featuring one of the water based Mavericks of the series.
