No way man. 8-bit street fighters? Looking pretty slick.
This looks like it'll be pretty dang fun to play.

Yes way!
We've been talking a bit about it alongside my news post, but a topic here is appropriate too.

I've been hearing it's got several major flaws. I'm downloading it right now and it's going immensely slowly. I'd say it's because Mega Man fans everywhere are downloading it, but I really doubt it.
It took about a half hour of trying on Capcom-Unity to get the download to START. I was just about to get it from some mediafire mirror when it finally went through. It took about 5 minutes once it did (33.4MB file). I haven't played it yet at all. Maybe tomorrow. Let us know what you think in the meantime.
I might give it a day or two, I have to see everyone elses reactions first.
Their coming to take me away, hee hee haw haw hoo hoo

You cannot kill what you did not create
So, how is it?
Should I assume from the lack of response that *no one* tried it yet? The first original Mega Man release since March 2010, and no one comments?
I gave it a spin yesterday, as I had some free time. It does play like any of the original Mega Man games: you get 8 bosses, followed by fortress levels. You gain a new weapon from each boss. You can use the slide AND the MegaBuster. From the Street Fighter side, in classic Capcom fighting game design, each boss has a special attack bar that fills up as they take damage. Once it's full, they'll unleash a powerful move against you. Be ready!
It's quite fun overall, but there are some minor problems that I need to highlight:

Seems there was a special weapon system, but I only caught a few for myself. Looking it up now, gamefaqs says they do. There's also some cheat codes I kinda want to try out now. Anyway, weaknesses don't cause any special animations, but some weapons do more damage than others.
I totally died on Balrog at first, not realizing I couldn't let him catch up to me at all, but afterwards I thought it was pretty clever. I didn't fight the special boss, and I probably won't, even though all you need to do to get a perfect is to use an E-Can right before applying the finishing blow.
I will say that overall I had a nice time, and absolutely loved the music and some of the genre hybrid stuff. And the theming... I mean, Ryu throws fireballs, so most of his stage enemies are fireballs that throw fireballs? Xzibit would be proud. And Dhalsim's maze stage? I really got a kick out of that. The ending... was a little disappointing. The ending music was not, however.
Some little things threw me off. Like the boss doors? Just seemed way too short. And the large life and energy capsules refill a little less than they should. Jumping-falling just seemed to take a little longer than normal, throwing off my jump-shot timing a little (that might partially be my computer, I sure can't tell).
I also had a crazy time trying to figure out how to use my HORI Xbox controller to work with this. Not the buttons, I wanted to use the directional pad instead of the left analog pad to move, and I never did figure it out. In the end I played through with the keyboard. Reminded me of playing roms back in the day.

Thanks doc. I'll give that a try the next time I play this game. Honestly it will probably make things much more enjoyable to be able to use the controller like I wanted. Maybe I'll go for the secret boss.... when I have a couple hours to kill.
