Drat, I know the second and last one, and the final answer, but not the answer to the first one. D:

EDIT: I think it is some sort of small enemy rather than a Robot Master or a boss though... I never got far with the Classic series.

This one riddle will give you hints relative to three different answers. Once you get all three answers right, you must tell me what all the answers have in common. And it won't be some simple fact like "They've all been in a Mega Man game" but it will be something specific, that I have chosen regarding all three answers.

Let's begin:

Three little robots, playing tricks on the cosmos.
One jumps back and forth between spaces, while staying on all fours. Proud as an ancient, from the days of yore.
One is the older brother of light, with the blinding stare. Punishing those in the nick of time, is the strength they both bear.
One is never alone, mirroring his best friend. Together they dance in circles, until one meets its' end.

Who are we, and what do we all have in common?


Right off the bat hint, all answers pertain to the Original Series.


Quoting for the new page.

I'd like to make a switch:

1- Frost Man
2- Bright Man
3- Gemini Man

I think you keep forgetting to answer the rest of the question, Doc. The "and what do we all have in common?" part.


"Why do you care that I care that you care enough to care that I care for caring?" "Conversation isn't your strong point, is it?"
"I worship the supreme comrade Cossack!"
"OugharagarraaahhHHH: When 'Ow' just won't cut it."

I'm aware of that. Rather than trying to get it all at once, I'll try to get the right combo, confirmed by the Riddler, THEN I'll point out the link between all three.

Hmmm, slight tough one here. I suppose you could say it has to do with the fact they all have abilities that affect space in some way. Flash Man halts all movement in the space by stopping time, Centaur Man can bend space and Gemini Man can make himself a clone (= occupying more space than you normally can?) and I guess his laser goes through a lot of space by bouncing off walls?

Mostly just a wild guess, since at first I thought the second one might be ProtoMan, which made me think all three would have been introduced in Mega Man 3. xD

If I can make a guess myself: all three involve ice somehow.

Centaur Man and Gemini Man both freeze you into position, while the levels of Gemini Man and Flash Man seem to be made of ice.

All three of them have an impossible power, i.e. freezing time and spontaneous cloning.

I'll give you a big hint.

It's the most basic function in any Mega Man game.

DING!! That's right!

More specifically, they all use buster shots in general!

There really wasn't anything in the riddle meant to hint towards this but, I was hoping you guys would eventually narrow each of your answers down!

I chose this answer because not every Robot Master uses standard shots, which kind of helped narrow down the few Robot Masters that do, making them ideal for a riddle with a "Tribond" twist to it.

I guess Bright Man could technically have made the cut, as he uses a Buster as well. So I decided to use him as a clue pointing towards Flash Man instead, as they are both similar anyways.

Anyways, I think Morphman got all of the three answers correct, but YZ got what they all have in common. I'll let you decide!
