More Mega Man Trolling from CAPCOM...or fanservice?
ShinSennju \| 12:42 PM on 11.13.2011	6 comments

We all know CAPCOM has been accused of neglecting Mega Man by cancelling two of his titles and keeping him out of the roster of Marvel vs CAPCOM 3 and they have trolled quite a bit in footage from UMVC3 (with some win quotes by Zero and the Days of Future Past poster).

But now with a recent leak of DLC costumes I can't quite decide if Zero's new Mega Man X outfit is the biggest troll ever or an act of fanservice. What do you think?

Head over to Shoryuken.com to catch some awesome DLC alternate costumes.

Don't forget that Zero had a costume like that in MvC3 vanilla. Trolling is them including him in Nova's Ending

Also frank west has a similar DLC costume

Arguably the Troll part would be that this absolutely deconfirms Mega Man X as DLC character.

And the Frank West costume is kind of awesome without other implications :)

The use of the word "troll" has gotten out of control. It seems any decision people disagree with, whether it's review scores or cancelled games, can earn that label even when it makes no sense. Capcom is company that makes and sells games not a 12 year old with too much free time. They're not in the business of "doing it for the lulz." It's not trolling.

@kidplus: Generally you'd be right, but in this particular case, even Seth Killian himself has made comments that reflect that CAPCOM is indeed aware of the uproar from Mega Man fans and in return they have included in UMvC3 some stuff that can be considered trolling like this quote from Zero:
"If X were here, he would have tried to talk things out first. Unfortunately for you, X isn't here."

or the aforementioned Wanted Poster of the Days of Future Past Stage, regarding this one Seth commented that it was a little joke for the fans ;)

It doesn't matter.

Am I the only person who thinks the costume is super-cool?
