Mega Man (original series)

WARNING!: This post may contain spoilers!!!

Since Joe just made a post about "Biometal" from the Megaman ZX branch of the series, in this post I will start to discuss the original Megaman games.

As I usually start with the characters, here they are!

The Team of Light Labs (story and character)

Dr. Light: One of the creators of "Mega Man". He worked alongside Dr. Wily and they founded "Light Labs" together. Robots created for household services by this team-up were seen as common enemies in the Mega Man games(for example, the Mettool as seen above). Later, they created Protoman who was (without going into much detail) a failure.

After this failure, the team created more robots: Mega, Roll, and the Robot Masters.

Dr. Wily was jealous and angry that Light got all the credit, so he decided to rebel and attempt to take over the world! He reprogrammed the Robot Masters so they would be vicious robots that only obeyed him! Mega said he would stop Dr. Wily, and he would fight! Light converted him into a fighting robot, turning him (oddly enough, his name was changed only to have "man" at the end) into Megaman!

Fun Facts: Dr. Light's Japanese name is "Right", and this is because there is no "L" character in Japanese, and is usually replaced with "R".

His Battle Network counterpart is Tadashi Hikari, Lan Hikari's grandfather.

Dr. Wily:

Fire Emblem

Fire Emblem's combat system is like 'Rock, Paper, Scissors", because each weapon has an advantage against another type, and a weakness to another type. The basic weapon triangle of Fire Emblem is "Lance beats sword, sword beats axe, and axe beats lance". There are other weapons like bows, which aren't at all effected by this weapon triangle though. There is also a magic triangle, but it differs between games.

Characters

The characters in the Fire Emblem series are much like real people (in a way). Each character has their own unique personality and backstory. In most of the "Fire Emblem" games, you start with a small party of characters, and as you advance through the game, you can get many more. Using these characters to fight the enemy lets the gain experience points, and once you get 100, your character will level up. For certain characters as they level up they may have the ability to "promote", which brings the character up to a more powerful class. Sometimes you can use special items on characters to instantly promote them, or sometimes characters promote as part of the story of a particular game.
