Strider Hiryu in MM Legends

[jmd]

Hello,

I'm a fellow fan of Capcom games, focusing on the Strider series.

Recently, I came across an interesting entry on the Strider Wikipedia page-

*Unused character designs for Mega Man Legends include a version of Hiryu in the same style as other characters from the game, equipped with a special weapon called the Cypher Arm.*

I have never heard of this appearance, (even though it is an unused one), and I figured this would be about the best place to ask about it.

Does anyone have any info regarding this? Possibly screenshots of Hiryu or the Cypher arm, or could someone possibly refer me to a site that does?

I would like to add anything I can find to a site I contribute to, the Lightsword Cypher Mainframe (the best and only Strider site around). Any help will be recoginized and credit given.

Thank you for your time!

Jeremy

It's just a piece of artwork.. nothing major.

It's buried in one of Capcom's galleries on the Capcom of Japan website for DASH. Don't feel like digging up a link, so I grabbed the picture from my own archives and threw it in my photobucket. As far as I can remember this is the only thing there was.

(I just got major Dé Jà Vu.. o.o)

[jmd]

Ah thank you for the pic and the quick response!

This is actually much better than I envisioned. If you'd like to be credited with providing this, let me know.

Thanks again!

[Pitch]

Don't worry about it. And nah, I don't get any credit for anything here, it's just something off Capcom's website.

[jmd]

Thank you again. I've got nothing but nice things to say about this place, that's for sure.

[smmm]

wow, I wonder how they were going to use him...

[Dragge]

I know what Musashi's going to say to me. "Stop Necroposting"
Anyway that may be how they got an idea for a later character. *Looks toward Bola* Wonder who it could be?

[Pitch]

You really should knock it off with the topic reviving, dude. Bery Important People are getting annoyed.

It's probably just a pic someone at Capcom did for fun or something.

But I don't think it looks anything like Bola.

[Musashi]

Yeah, artists do that all the time. Might be because they wanted more content on their site, or the artist wanted to take a break from MML2 concepts. Its just a sketch, after all.

[Dragge]

I probably will after this. Now that I look at it, it reminds me more of Teisel. *Look at the legs* Yeah I'll stop necroposting.

[Musashi]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah, thats just Strider. I originally thought that it was Trigger in his form of Legend's cloths, because of Data, but yeah. Its just Strider.
