Rockman Xover

[ZEROrevive]

Well, I was convinced to start playing this social game...




Yes, I know, "this game sucks" and ect. But The real meat of the game is this right here with setting up your stats, not the running sections everyone seems to brag about being the "worst game ever". I'm actually enjoying the game as a minor time killer. And frankly, it should be left at that.

(I probably could've made this its own topic, but given the nature of 90% of peoples opinions of the game that are namely english speaking....I rather not tamper with the fire).

Don't worry about anyone attacking it around here. I've actually been curious as to the mechanics and how much Legends stuff's made its way in. It seems like Legends is the only series they haven't built a world around. Let us know if you find any Legends stuff in there that hasn't been reported yet, alright?

Also, if there's any sign of a story, that'd be cool too.  I'd like to be able to find out what I can even though I don't do mobile gaming at all.

[ZEROrevive]

Since this has become a topic, I'll spill over what I know from personal experience in gameplay so far.

A dummy explanation of the mechanics would be this: OVER-1 Can be equipped with cards called "Battle Memories". Each battle memory has its own stats, special perks, and a element (Fire/Water/Grass/Electric/Normal). Battle memories can be fused together in order to level them up, raising the cards stats while keeping the cost low. Cost is a limiter to how many battle memories you can equipped, and rarer cards tend to have a higher cost. As OVER-1 levels up you can raise his cost limit though.

How do you acquire battle memories? by playing the on rail running stages of course. Defeating enemies will drop these battle memories...but they will also drop other items. Play through a stage several times and you'll encounter the boss. Defeat the boss and you gain a armor part to create a new armor with. Simple.

You can also gain battle memories in other ways, including other game modes that involve interacting with other players...I won't get into detail with those. But the extra modes of play do flesh out the game a bit more.


Now for Legends stuff. So far I've gotten a couple Battle Memories that were legends related. Mainly Trigger himself, Tron, and Roll Caskett. I also picked up duplicate cards of those 3 kids from the first game. Odd seeing that, really.

There's also that short cutscene with the flutter flying into a wormhole..but thats just what gets shown when you collect map parts from a level and send the flutter out to track down the hidden boss. I guess Roll is helping out Over-1 and friends? It's never explained as far as I know.


Lastly, plot: It's there but....its very thin lined. There isn't much new apart from what you know already- but with one exception.




We now have the official rival of OVER-1: Nero. He has 4 henchmen with him as well, and awaits players in the new weekly events called "Battle Tower"...Although you can't reach him yet as week 3 has his third henchmen to be battled. I'm guessing we go through all four, then him lastly. Interestingly enough, you get treated with a bit of dialogue between him and his currently picked boss for the battle tower....what hes saying is a mystery to me due to language barriers though. But it has made me curious. We don't know any of Nero's motives yet or who made him.

Thats a small summary of what I know so far. Feel free to hit me up with any questions. I'll try to answer- or at the very least, point you in the right direction for information.

Nice summary.

The game itself's been pretty well received here in the East, so my overall exposure of the game has been quite conflicting in terms of opinions.

I do like the designs shown up to now, so I have few complaints about its existence myself.

[ZEROrevive]

I lurk around sites with alot of easterns on it, and seeing all of the positive output is always amusing.

And yes, designs were always great with this game IMO. With the addition of new characters, it makes me wonder what else is to come that we'll see newly designed....

Good to know.
It's consistent with the overall 'feel' of the earlier releases, so that's a definite plus on Capcom R&D's side.
Quoting a common (albeit poor?) example by quite a few other armchair critics, at least it's no Act Zero.

Dear... god! If that isn't just the most unnecessarily dark & edgy apparel to grace the Mega Man series. 

[Dashe]

That was more informative than anything else I've read on the subject. Thanks.

There was totally a Nero in Traingham 's story, so I found his existence here amusing. He was even a Zero expy, but I'm pretty sure that's where the similarities end.

In this case...this kind of comparison is completely valid. Well put.

With a appearance like this, one wonders his backstory....

...one also wonders where he acquired an Axe Sword / Sword Axe (as I call it)

Amusing, especially if the story is old (I assume so). I wonder what he would think seeing this...

UPDATE POST:


I've been playing here and there every day when I've got time to kill, decided to take a few new screencaps showing minor info on Legends related Battle Memories.



This gives the totals of Battle Memories for each and every Rockman Series, including Xover Exclusive ones. Legends doesnt house a whole lot as you can see, but neither does the ZX series.



Some normal Battle Memories I've acquired so far from Legends. This doesn't include Rares and up. If anyone wants to see those, let me know and I'll share what I have on a later date.




Not Legends related, but wanted to show my current set up. Isn't the most optimal IMO, but i'm still gathering better Battle Memories and leveling them up. OVER-5 is pretty good and well balanced. I also got OVER-R somehow....but hes not very good.

Sadly I missed out on the current Battle Tower event, but I don't feel ready for it. Maybe I'll enter the next one if it happens.

Also, I'm still going to make a post about Nero's group (if anyones wondering about them)...but later. Going to wait and see if any new stuff is revealed in the coming week or so about them.

Lastly, if anyone needs any tips or guidance on this Social Game, I can link some good resources I know of. Just ask.

[Dashe]

There's a section of the main site devoted entirely to collecting stuff like this and according to the site FAQ, it's accepting submissions. If you're willing to screenshot as many DASH battle memories as you can get, and maybe even include their functions and stats, that'd be awesome to have as reference. Are all ten of those normal cards obtainable by ordinary means?

So yeah, the rares and anything rarer would definitely be cool to see.

[ZEROrevive]

Huh, I wasnt aware of this. But sure, why not. I can screencap what I can and send them over. Screencapping the base stats is easy too, and I can do it for each and every card. If I have the time...I'll see what I can do.

All of those cards shown there were regular drops during the on rails run and gun sections. You can also win them by other means, such as Boss battles. Overall- yes. Easily gotten by normal means. You can get some rares through Gatcha Tickets though, which I have. But no real money spent so far. I have to check and see if theres any codes for free Battle Memories that are Legends related...though I doubt it.

Also, theres some kind of event going on involving the infamous Bikini/Swimsuit Battle Memoires. Those include Roll and Tron, FYI. I'm not sure how it works though and I think its wanting real money in order to get them, as its listed in the menu where you trade in Gatcha Tickets, Zenny, or use Crest (?) to buy rare BM's. EDIT: I think im right, as someone else on another forum mentioned using crest (real money) to get some of those bikini cards.

[Dashe]

We've got copies of the images used on the bikini memoirs, so if you know what color the card base ought to be, we could probably build them from scratch in Photoshop. We'd just need to find out the base stats and any special functions.

[ZEROrevive]

I think someone on the forum I lurk around screencapped them all already in some older posts...I've been scanning around it lately for goodies. If I run into said screenshots, I'll link to the post. They usually screencap them with stats included as they get them to show off their daily hauls.

------


UPDATE: Going to get around to screencapping those Legends BM's real soon. Also acquired a new one recently that's been added to the collection. Interestingly it was a random drop from doing a Team Battle boss.

[Dashe]

Sweet. Better make that REALLY real soon, though. They're cancelling the service next year. If you can use the time to get the caps and descriptions of the Legends BMs' functions, that would be the coolest thing ever...and if you have any favorite designs, it'd be smart to cap those, too.

On the other hand, I am willing to pay up to 5000 yen for a nice thick artbook featuring this game.
