An In-Depth Look At The Mega Man 7 VS Mode 

(Please click more for edits, for links I found and mistakes I made in the video) There’s a lot of ideas I’m considering for this new year, let me know what I can do for this year (Switch and PC Content-wise) At 2:53 I say you can shoot while sliding in the games, this isn’t true. In the games, you can’t shoot any variants of a shot, while you are sliding. There is a Mega Man fangame that plays similarly to the Versus Mode in Mega Man 7, it's not exact, and there are differences, but it's the closest to it so far at least. www.megamanarena.com/

I wish we had more Mega Man fighting games besides this and Power Fighters/Battle. The franchise lends itself so well to that structure and style of gameplay.

I love that it is technically the first time that Bass was Playable and also it might be the inspiration for the Playable Bass mode

I think it'd be interesting to see a MM7 Fighting Game hack with an expanded roster, like adding Proto Man, Roll or some of the Robot Masters.

If you want to see more gameplay like this, there’s a fangame called Mega Man Arena. It’s roster is pretty big and there’s lots of cool tech like combo hits, slide invincibility, and strafe-jumping

Ok, gotta confess I was TODAY years old when I discovered about Mega Man 7 VS Mode

I’ve one of the few who knew about the hidden Vs mode in Megaman 7, Thorgi’s Arcade made a “Build the Roster” video for a Megaman Fighting game which we really deserve and it would be cool, even Super Punch Out has a hidden Vs mode where you can play as the opponent boxers.

Imagine this game gets a competitive scene based off this mode...

I’ve known about this for such a long time and it’s great to see someone cover it in depth, however I never knew about the command inputs that Rockman and Forte had that can add another layer to combat instead of just shooting each other, the Arcade Power Fighters 2 would expand upon it, except you needed to charge, hold up on your dpad and release to do things like the Mega Upper or Bass Flash Kick.

Cool video, I have always thought of this as a pretty cool concept in a Mega Man game. 2 player co-op is possible in Power Battles, and the Power Fighters

I was a big megaman fan my entire life. 7 was indeed my favorite and I would even speedrun it. I was never told about this game mode. That's crazy.

Many games have obscure versus mode. There also exist some obscure versus games

never had any idea that this existed

i live for in-depth analysis of minor aspects in mega man. why haven't we seen this mode at EVO yet???

To think the versus was a silly X Dive before Dive pvp or just jump and shooting. The comboes add depth and wouldve been worth a lil nod or comeback other mega man installments

GuileWinQuote talked about this in his videos on vs. modes in non-fighting games

Rockman and Forte is one of my favorites as well, though I wouldn't put any of the main series above X2.

Its a shame they didnt thought of adding protoman as well since he is a secret boss

A man of culture

nice

Man only needs make a online fangame and can be perfect

0:10 you could say that selection of games is pretty....*Bass'd*

Reminds me of vs mode in captain america nes

you know, since its in the description and mentioned in your comments how about a quick video about mega man arena while were here? it deserves a mention in video form

You should check Megaman Robot Master Mayhem!

Some should use the sprites of Bass from the battle mode to add him instead of MegaMan 😊

Holy- the video just started and he's already Based

As a mega man player for 19 years. I haven't played this mod ever. You explaint it well, but I don't think I'll play it. It looks 2000's flash games

I think Mega Man is also a bit better than Bass because his slide has a shorter input than Bass' kick

2:52 not to be that guy, but you can't shoot while sliding in the actual games either? idk what that meant

Pretty silly to have an anti air in a game where jump ins, blocking and a wake up game don't exist

"Unlike the games, you can't shoot while sliding." There has literally never been a single classic MM game where you can shoot while sliding as any character. Not even Bass can shoot while dashing and Bass is the only one with a dash outside of the arcade games. Have you ever actually played the games?

You should pronounce your ths better
