Cool. Years ago, when I did Mega Man hacking, I always wanted to fill in the gaps that Capcom never did. What happened to the original Mega Man generation before the X series? I never completed any of my hacks, so maybe you could take that story and do something with it. Good luck.

Yes the whole concept of the "Ultra" series, is to sort of fill in the gap between the Classic & X series. Keigi Inafune has said that he has no intention of doing that. So back in 2005 when I started, I was trying to think of something new to bring to the hacking community, that's when the idea of Ultra came into play.

The title "The Rise of X" has been the main title for almost 2 years. I just decided to keep it to myself until I could do things on my own asm wise. I honestly wish this was done now so everyone could see what's in store.

I feel that I have a concrete storyline, and a good mix of dialog. I feel the story that I came up with, is something that capcom would've written.

Oh, and here's another teaser video. 2:30 in time to make up for the :24 one I made with Elecman :p

Megaman Ultra 2 - The Rise of X Official Teaser #3 "SMB2"



Credit goes to Kuja Killer, for the charge meter and weapon photos under the meters.

Enjoy!

That's the trippiest version I heard of the SMB2 "grass level" theme. xD

But unlike past Megaman hacks that took stuff from Super Mario Bros, I see that you put in way more effort. Good job.

I had a feeling that both you and Matrixz made decent ASM MM4 Hacks I seen so far.

I started to think that this isn't the original MM4 anymore by the looks of it. It looks like a completely different MM Game. Also I noticed that the sounds of the weapon menu are from MM5 or MM6.

As for me, I've still had to keep trying to make my first ASM MM1 Hack.

I dunno why I'm asking this, but is there any chance those robots in MM5 for GB'll be in the hack? I think that's the one, I can't remember...

Thank You for your comment on the music! That was a bitch to code in by hand. I had to use a program called G-NSF, the program enables you to shut off any sound channel you want, and even slow down the tempo. I originaly tried ripping it out of SMB2, but nintendo uses some fancy math asm, where all the notes are even numbers, and when I tried inserting them into my hack, it was all wrong. So I had to listen to every single note, for all 3 channels "the noise channel I just wrote a simple drum beat that goes along to the tune" It took me 2 days to get this complete, and I love it so much, it sounds awesome!

And thank you for the comment on the effort. I feel that I'm at the point in rom hacking where I have the capability of making a near perfect rendition of any level from an nes game. The POW block will work as it does in SMB2, I just havent gotten around to it. This hack I'm trying to make as professional as possible in every aspect you can think of.

Yeah this game is originaly MM4, but it's severly altered, so it looks like a brand new MM game, where Matrixz's hack is a legit hack of MM4. Mine has completely different enemies/bosses, where his hack will stay true to the original enemies/bosses. My hack needs to be so different due to the storyline I'll be adding, and all the different level ideas, and boss ideas. This is just 1 of many things that is making this hack take forever to finish.

And the weapon shots you hear are all from MM5. I personaly coded in each sfx for each version of the buster system.

EDIT - Oh I'm sorry, the weapon menu sfx, yes those were taken from MM6. Those were inserted for me by Kuja Killer, at the time I had no idea on how to do stuff like that. And after he did that for me, and showed me how, I've been able to accomplish doing sfx things for anything in my hack since then.

That MM GB title is the only one I've never played. All I know is that the bosses are named after all the planets. :-/

Here's a wiki article to MM5 for the Gameboy.

It's a nice article btw.

I only wish they would have made this verison on the NES.

on topic: Nice video, we need more MM hacks in the scene. Awesome job!

I once had thoughts in my head before of what it'd be like to have an NES version of the GB mm5. I could probably do that if i wanted, but it would take me years.
And besides i got my own MM3 hack to continue working on that I won't be done with until the 2010's.

Plus some things may or may not be possible to do on the NES that only the gameboy were able to do though. ex: it would be really difficult to convert all the backgrounds and tilesets to fit for the nes's 256x240 resolution as opposed to the gameboys 156x140 or whatever it is.

I don't remember who told me this, but it sounded pretty legit, especially based on small clues throughout the series. But, maybe you can use this.

Dr. Wily was the one who created Zero, to try to destroy Mega Man. Hence, Zero was a bad robot (a maverick). Zero winds up being successful. He kills Mega Man. What helps support this story element, is the scenes in Mega Man X4. Zero has a dream with Dr. Wily in it. And they even have a scene somewhere, where Zero is shown as a Maverick. So, it sounds right. After Zero kills Mega Man, he disappears, and is not seen until the X series. And of course, Dr. Light eventually creates Mega Man X.

So, maybe you could have the final boss be Zero, and have him kill off Mega Man, and shown some scene of Mega Man X being created. That would be a totally awesome way to end your game. With Mega Man dying, and X being born. Of course, I'm not telling you what to do with your hack, just giving you some ideas. But that's what I would do though.

EDIT -

You can even use the 8-bit Megaman X sprites, from MMXtreme 1 & 2.

Seeing the video again, is really motivating me to pick up my MM4 hack again. I'll see if I can get into it this weekend, but it'll be a basic level MM4 hack...

AFAIK the fan consensus is that Zero went berserk and not only killed megaman, but also dr light, bass and everyone else.

This hack looks great. The animation of the bird thing looks freaking awesome. Excellent job!
However, I see that sprite flickering is a common issue. Any plans to fix this?

I have alot of big enemies, and there will be flickering unfortunatly. I've realy pushed the limits of the 8 tile sprite limit. The game is still in it's infancy, so nothing is sketched in stone. If there's a possibility of making it better, I will absolutly work on it when it the hack is complete.

I'm really happy of the responses this has been getting. I hope that my storyline lives up to the expectation. I'm sorry I cannot release any info on it, but I can assure all of you that you will be pleasntly suprised.

I'm also suprised no one mentioned my custom sprite, the Sniper Joe Shoe! hehe.
