The Business of War

This is the big update for the Business of War! Namely that … it’s done. The ending has been posted at last! And, along with it, a whole slew of bonus features.

First off is a long-in-coming spoof ep by Spark Mandrill called The Bitch and the Beast. It’s set between stages 5 and 6, so I’m linking to it here.

There’s also the Business of War Gallery with art made during or for the event, along with sprites. Included is a picture by Needlegal (colored by me) …. which makes this the very first MM3 project with every single member of the team participating!

I’ve added Bright Babe’s War Sig to the gallery, as well as a Scissor Army sig I commissioned from Gren.

But that’s not all! Also updated is the list of Soldier Robots to include most of the robots Wily has used during the event as well as non-Rich Scissor Joes!

A Page Count is now up …. detailing just how long Business of War ended up being. Try not to be intimidated.

And, finally, Creator Commentaries have been posted from most of the participants that made it to the end. I give you all a friendly pat on the back and a firm handshake … you have made it through! All of you should be proud to be a part of the biggest event in the history of Megaman Teams. Despite every odd, and every obsticle War has reached it’s end and you have managed to stay on for the ride.

The Business of War is over.

This is one of the final updates for the Business of War!

The penultimate stage is up! As are the last of the Stage Summaries. Let’s all give Raijin some applause. He’s worked hard to make all these summaries and I know I would be lost without them.

Also up is a list of Sword Users, also compiled by Raijin. We’ve just noticed there were quite a few swords being used in the War and we decided to keep track a bit. Beware of spoilers!

Also up is a flash Map of War. This was made by me and Raijin. Raijin was invaluable in making the initial images and actually looking up where everything was. I just made the Flash file.

Also up is the Live Action Buisness of War videos made by Anime Master as well as commentaries!

War’s running into the home stretch now … and the best is yet to come! Stay tuned for the end of the epic that rocked the Team Scene! The end of the Business of War … it’s coming!

But that’s not all! A big hand goes out to Joseph “Doc Lithius” Collins who used my Rockman Mega World level select codes to bring us accurate damage data on all bosses from the Rockman Megaworld game. I’ve compiled that, as well as the codes, and some new observations into a single article that is now online. Now we can see which weapon is, statistically, the best of the best from the first three Megaman games!

Articles, Gauntlet’s Guides

I’ve been doing some thinking and I’ve decided the image galleries really need accompanying
articles to go with them. At least the official images do and most of the sprite galleries. To this end I have created an article on the Megaman PC Games. It details my experience with the PC games as well as some words on the robot masters.

Next up is a … Gauntlet’s Guides article? It’s been a while since I did me one of those. This one is on Green Lantern: In Blackest Night. Basically it goes into all the “special” rings and is sort of meant as a look-back that contrasts what’s being done today with what’s been done in the past.

The PC sprites have been updated. I actually missed a few sprites of Wily. Apparently when you die at WIly himself sprites of him jumping and groveling appear on the computer screen. Since I always cheat at that game I have never seen these sprites until now.

Speaking of sprite galleries, the index page has been merged with the overall Image Gallery using the same hack that I developed for the Specialty Galleries. It’s just pointless to leave them so separate. Speaking of which, I’ve never announced it, but the Megaman Team Christmas Cards are up. They’re from a small project made by Snakeman and Spark Chan in December. Be sure to check it all out!

Oh, and the articles on Rockman Strategy and Rockman Gold Empire have received some small updates too. RM Strategy has it’s intro video up … doubtless you’ve seen it before since Rockman Perfect Memories posted it long before I have. I just felt it was time for me to post it as well. More exciting, however, is that I have posted the game’s full script online! Unfortunately … it’s in Traditional Chinese. Yeah. I’ve also revised a few details in the introduction (the game’s not quite so rare anymore) and added in some notes on the ending that I got from reading the script. Rockman Gold Empire’s update is a never-before-seen intro video.

Tons of Images

Well, we have a nicely massive image update to follow our last massive image update.

First off, with a thanks to RADIX (for pointing it out to me) and AquaMary (for giving permission), I have an update for the article on Novas Adventuras de Megaman. Namely … a wealth of images! Some of them must be seen to be believed … and while looking through them, just remember: this is canon. It’s an official Megaman product.

But that’s not all! With War coming to a rapid conclusion (believe it or not!) I’ve taken a look back on Rich’s other illustrious works. Not only does his gallery now feature every one of his public drawing for Business of War, bit it now features pictures of his Revenge of the Scissor Army figurines and sketches! In many ways it’s a precursor to War, and it’s worth a look even if you’ve never read War because those figures rocked our niche Megaman Community.

That’s not all! The girt art section is peppered with new images as well.

A few other people have been posting info on it, so I’ve decided to update the section a bit. I’ll have to edit the article just a tiny bit too.

First of my RMS updates is … every single image used in the game and complete manual scans.

Truthfully, after compiling all those sprites I got sick of RM Strategy. But I suppose it’s long past time in posting what I have on it on the site itself. Happy viewing!

The Business of War receives a hefty update this day! Contrary to what many might think, the event is still on. And the fruits of our labor is now presented as it is so far.

The main story has been posted up to Stage 6 (with a new Wily Journal and Cossack Journal in Stage 3). While Raj’s Summaries have been continued on to Stage 5.

The War Sigs has been updated with signatures up to the present time.

There’s more information on Business of War characters in the allegences section.

There’s information on the various foot soldiers now up.

And, finally, Anime Master’s many videos have been put up in the video section.

This has been one HELL of an update! And the end is hurtling our way! Stay tuned!

The Most Awsomest Update EVA

February 11th, 2008

Hot on the heels of our incredible video update comes something even more spectacular. News that will rock the Megaman Gaming community to it’s core. Or, at least, the gaming community that loves the Classic Series.

Long have I ranted about how perfect a collection would be if they made master weapons transferable from game to game. Little did I realize this game had already been made. Ladies and Gentlemen (and children of all ages) I bring you: Rockman Megaworld codes! Using a level selector code I found (and values I actually had to guess, which made the code a damn hassle) I have made it so that you can bring any set of weapons you wish into the first three megaman games. Follow the above link and scope out the Wily Wars section for more information.

The Video Section sees an update today. This time with the MM3 themed episode of Captain N as well as the old Megaman 3 commercial from Capcom. Weird stuff. Enjoy!

The Cap N episode featured the villainous Doc Robot (my favorite Megaman-related Cap N butchery), so if you’ve ever wondered what the character was actually like … look no further! I’d also like to thank Classi Cal for helping me with the Megaman 3 commercial. It was actually in a series of commercials that was sent to me, but she helped me single it out for the site. Well done!

Images GALORE!

It’s that time again!

This update sees a MASSIVE update to the image galleries. Just under 1000 images have been added to the MMTV show and Captain N galleries collectively. With the second set of Cap N DVDs finally being released in my region I can FINALLY add screencaps from the MM3 episode – a tale of two dogs – to the set.

But that’s not all! I’ve gone through the Ruby Spears cartoon and have added images to all the categories, especially focusing on the background helper bot characters.

It’s a variable bonanza of images nobody’s interested in!

With the old year drawing to a close it’s finally time to post the epic tale of the team’s greatest moment in 07. Naturally I speak of … our real life meeting at CNanime.
