Street Fighter X Mega Man

Postby Thoul » Tue Dec 18, '12, 7:25 am

Capcom has released a new PC game to celebrate the 25th anniversary of both Mega Man and Street Fighter. It's called Street Fighter X Mega Man; from the trailer, it looks to be your basic classic style Mega Man game, but with some Street Fighter characters taking the place of the Robot Master bosses.



Best of all, the game is free. Seems like a great deal for any fan of the old school Mega Man titles. You can find download links here:

This game definitely looks fun. I'm going to have to try it out some time. I wonder which boss is going to be the toughest?

It's actually really good- a lot of Mega Man fan games (because that's what this is) and romhacks tend to be absurdly difficult, but this is definitely more like the difficulty of a normal Mega Man game.

Yes, a normal Megaman game IS really difficult (IMHO too hard as I hate hard and difficult vgames but that's a matter of...opinions ! ;) )
Hope this one is going to be less difficult...

I've waited a few days before trying to download it myself. Capcom's servers were getting hit pretty hard with all the Mega Man fans eager for a new game rushing for this one. I hope to give it a go over the weekend.

Oh, I meant to say something about that in the opening, but I forgot. If I understand correctly, this started out as a fan game. Then Capcom came in and bought something or took over somehow? And finally, Capcom did some polishing to release it as an official title. Is that right?

I'm glad to hear the difficulty is on par with typical Mega Man titles... although, some of those are a little too hard for me, too. I'm just glad it's not super difficult like some fan games.

Looks pretty interesting I may have to give it a try sometime. I came across a video on youtube actually that had Akuma as a secret boss in this game (he takes the secret-boss role in a lot of games he’s been in actually), which is pretty awesome in my opinion. :wink:

I have it. It's awesome. I'm wayyy too rusty to beat it just like that. I will need to re-awaken my twitch reflexes that have been sleeping for years.

Finaly, I've succeeded in downloading it ! And you're right it's a very good game BUT, as a Megaman, really very difficult ! I don't think I'm going to play it a lot but that is a very good game indeed !
