Ok, MM&B IS NOT MM9!!!!!

[Byte Man Zero]

I am so SICK of going onto other forums (sorry, Protoman, but Stage-Select.com has one incredibly funny webcomic) and reading posts from complete retards who say that Mega Man and Bass was in fact Mega Man 9.  These utter degenerates need to be killed, or at least straightened out once and for all.  So here goes, with NO COMMERCIAL INTERRUPTIONS!!!!!<yay!>:

     In the first place, if you beat MM&B, as well as MM8, watch the credits CAREFULLY!!!  Tengu Man and Astro Man, the robot masters who appear in both games, are listed in the credits for MM&B, but if you ACTUALLY PAY ATTENTION, you'll notice that they are NOT listed in MM8!  This is because in order to save time, Wily rebuilt those two instead of designing all-new robot masters.  After discovering the "evil energy", he knew that Mega Man would be hot on his tracks.  Thus, Tengu Man and Astro Man were given a second chance, mostly because their plans were fresher in his head.

     Also, if you REALLY want to know how I know this, this is the reason:

CAPCOM CAME OUT AND SAID SO!!!!!

     That's right, in an official statement meant to quell the rumor mill, capcom officials, posing as guests on forums such as this, said the exact same thing that I am telling you now.  If you want further proof, go to this site, which will tell you exactly what you need to know, and is officially sanctioned by the company, even if it is a fan creation:

http://www.mmhp.net

There you can find the correct timeline.

Now, for anyone who wants to disagree with me, you are welcome to.  Trouble with disagreeing with me on THIS, however, is that if you do, you are a complete and utterly unsavable nimrod who should help conserve oxygen by commiting suicide.  That being said, I hope this settles the controversy once and for all, because if you think about the truth of my words, IT'S JUST COMMON FREAKIN' SENSE!!!!!

Of course, that's my opinion, but I am not wrong.

Then MegaMan & Bass Is just Megaman & Bass at your point of view.

[Byte Man Zero]

Actually, it should be considered Mega Man 7 1/2.

[BlazeHeatnix]

Let`s Just put the Game to a Better place Like Sonic CD That doesn`t has a Number on it but is Still a Sonic.

[Byte Man Zero]

Granted, but too many people think that the timeline of the series has MM&B as MM9.  This really irritates me.

[Bladegash]

The game actually refers to itself as 'RockMan 8.5', as demonstrated by this random file listing in the SF version's ROM.

[Byte Man Zero]

Even the programmers were clueless!

*whip-smacks stupid programmers*

No wonder it was so fuggin' hard to beat the game as the Smurf!  The programmers were R-tards!

Seriously, that was described as a programming error that never got fixed.  Don't ask me why, not even Capcom knows the answer to that question.

... ok i only agreee with bladegash... and by the way KING stole the robot CDs and was able to make old robots and maybe new one's omg hmmm....

[Byte Man Zero]

All I can say is that my information comes from http://www.mmhp.net, and that site has an official Capcom sanction.  I don't think they would've done that if ANY of it was incorrect.

The point remains, though, that it is Most Definately NOT MM9.  That was the entire point of my thread start post.  To educate idiots.  And besides, it's not like Capcom hasn't screwed up by releasing prequels before.

I don't consider things Mega Man (Number) unless it SAYS Mega Man (number).  Like considering the Game Boy games actual games in the series.

[BlazeHeatnix]

OKOK I will say the Game is umm.... a game that has a 2 Recreated & Wicked ( for me ) Characters. Let`s all just say that the Game is 7.5 or 8.5 or Just like that MEGAMAN & BASS.

Whatever, just burn him Balze Heatnix anyways, he's not worth it, talking like this to Maga Man games, what a shame!!!

[Yaminomalex]

Whatever, just burn him Balze Heatmix anyways, he's not worth it, talking like this to Maga Man games, what a shame!!!

What on God's green Earth is "Maga Man"?
