Vent and Alie got sacked

[Chaos Tank]

gonintendo.com/?p=13187

This scan contains the new heroes of Rockman ZX: Advent. Pandora and Promethius are returning, and I quote from Atomic Fire... and Fusion of course.


Quote:
In a most curious move, it seems that the protagonists from the original, Vent and Aile, will not be returning for this bout, but will instead be replaced by Grey and Ashe, who assume the form of the mysterious "Rockman Model A," as they square off against the returning Pandora and Prometheus, respectively.

Unlike the almost too-similar pair of Aile and Vent, Grey and Ashe seem to have very different characters, with Grey taking the role of a youth who is awakened from a cryogenic sleep to be told he's a failed experiment (I'm sure that's just what anyone wants to hear first thing in the morning), while Ashe is a ruin hunter who... seeks out... lost technology. Why does that one sound familiar? Hmm.
Grey’s story is linked to Pandora, while Ashe’s story is linked to Prometeus

Oh and heres a pic of the new model A, this guy looks familiar doesn't he?

No word on what happened to Vent and Alie and the biometals they held.

[Gilgamesh]

what bull**** they shouldntve sacked vent and aile. that guy looks like a retard. and model A looks like a cross between model F and model Z..does that make model A also model FZ?

[Chaos Tank]

Model FZ would have to be FlameZero.

No, in all seriousness. Thats Axl. It has to be him. Look at the dual pistols and his head thing.

[Gilgamesh]

yeah but it looks almost nothing like him. the pistols are too big, the helmet is all wrong. it looks NOTHING like axl excpet the fact that it has 2 guns. but i guess it is

[Jovany]

The upside down Triagle on his forehead is just TERRIBLEY DUMB!
And he has dark skin while the girl has light skin? It makes him look like he doesn't shower

Raikon: Warned. Watch out with what you say.

[Z-Buster]

>:(WHAT HAVE THEY DONE?! Vent, Aile & the BioMetals from the 1st game should be in this sequel.

[Gilgamesh]

i mean they still have pandora and prometheus but the "chosen ones" were ditched

[Dualzero]

Man...alot of complaints already, sheesh can't you guys just wait and see the finished product, then you can comment on it since we don't know the full story yet.

As for the Axl thing there's nothing wrong with it, but I think this is Capcom's answer to MMX9, as you can see that there's a metal thing which replaced Axl's crystal, maybe they'll shed more light on Axl's fate.

Seriously Jovany that sounded like a racist comment, or I may have mistaken, but please be careful of what you say next time 'kay.

[Raikon]

Lost technology? Oh, it seems we're really getting closer to Megaman Legends.

I like Axl, but Capcom better have a good explanation for Axl to appear here, he has no connection with the MMZ series, none, and they threw him in, they better have a good origin for him.

I perfer these new characters over Vent and Aile, they actually look differently and have a different story.

[maverickzero]

I never played ZX. But the new characters looks better then vent and Alie.

perhaps he gets re-reawakend by the
enemy (although we do not yet (i dont think) have ZX in england so i don't know the main enemy) and brainwashes him (like the time when dr.wily reprograms gutsman in megaman original) and he goes on a rampage until his mind is freed.

Hel-lo, what's this?

We've heard for awhile now, with nothing more than a logo to guide us, that Capcom and Inticreates have begun work on a follow-up to Rockman ZX (Mega Man to us gaijin) known as Rockman ZX Advent.

And today, that changes as Go Nintendo has brought forth the gift of scans!

In a most curious move, it seems that the protagonists from the original, Vent and Aile, will not be returning for this bout, but will instead be replaced by Grey and Ashe, who assume the form of the mysterious "Rockman Model A," as they square off against the returning Pandora and Prometheus, respectively.

Unlike the almost too-similar pair of Aile and Vent, Grey and Ashe seem to have very different characters, with Grey taking the role of a youth who is awakened from a cryogenic sleep to be told he's a failed experiment (I'm sure that's just what anyone wants to hear first thing in the morning), while Ashe is a ruin hunter who... seeks out... lost technology. Why does that one sound familiar? Hmm.

Not a lot to say on gameplay so far, other than the fact that there are no signs of the fallen warrior Biometals from the first game.

Naturally, we'll bring you more here as it comes.

The story is said to take place many years after the battle with "Live Metal Model V" that took place in the previous game. Hunters looking for "lost technology" have assembled at ruins where wild machine lifeforms run rampant. Grey and Ashe (name spelling unconfirmed) are the protagonists in this game.

Grey: A 14 year old boy in cryogenic sleep at a certain laboratory. Though he awakens in the midst of a battle, he doesn't recall any knowledge of himself. He's attacked by Pandora who claims "I will dispose of the failed product," and, not knowing his circumstances, rushes out of the laboratory. In Grey's story, the boy, who had been asleep in a cold sleep facility, is informed by Pandora, who entered suddenly, that his name is Grey and he's a failure model Rockman. Attacked by the battle machine Pandora brought with her, Grey escapes from the place with a fallen hunter's gun, but...

Ashe: A 15 year old female ruins hunter. Taking a request from the alliance government "Legions" that controls all of the world, she goes after an illegal hunter who's stolen Live Metal Model A. Though fussy about money her sense of justice is strong, and she won't take requests that contain illegalities. In her story, Ashe goes after the illegal hunter who's air transporting Live Metal Model A. At that point she runs into Prometheus, who has the same goal as she does. Ashe, being called a hinderance by Prometheus, challenges him to a battle with her companions, but they're quickly defeated.

Live Metal Model A: A mysterious metal possessing a will that was excavated from a ruin by an illegal hunter. Responding to the voices of the protagonists when they're cornered by Prometheus and Pandora, it exhibits its hidden power. By equipping Live Metal Model A, the protagonists can transform into "Rockman Model A," the strongest Rockman that accumulates experience with each battle.

Gameplay: Untransformed, Grey and Ashe have the typical moves from the previous game, i.e. running around, crouching, crawling, etc. Unlike Vent and Aile, the two new protagonists are still able to attack when untransformed, seemingly with a standard gun. Transformed into Rockman Model A, the two receive all the standard action movements, such as dash jumping and climbing walls. Model A is also expected to boast "a variety of shot attacks," though all that's shown now is a typical charged shot, as well as a homing shot that targets multiple enemies.


EDIT:Thanks to Advent Axl for giving me this info

I agree completely. I just wonder how they could brush Vent and Alie aside, weren't they the 'chosen ones?'

And a long time ago Capcom said they would've made a MM Axl series but they didn't think it'd have enough support. I'm really thinking this is gonna be that MM Axl game, still no mention of any of the previous biometals returning, not even Models Z or X.

[maverickzero]

If model Z and X don't return.. I will not even thinking of buying one DS. Model Axl is a vacuüm machine.

Um raceist? How?
Well any way I meant since the two main characters were both the same skin color (ZX), and the new guy doesn't have the same skin color as the other 3, it looks as if he was dirty because all other Megaman Universe character have the same color for their sprite and that one just stands out
