Part 30: Girl power? Roll Soul!

So let's recap. So far, each of the following scenarios involves the control panel waaaay in the back of Park Area 3:

The opening of the Toy Robo scenario
Wind Man
Wood Man
Video Man
Burner Man
Flave
Riki

So we've gone to that control panel at least 7 times.

Metal Man and today's opponent don't involve the control panel, but they do involve Park Area 3. (OF COURSE!)



Yes, I had to do the cooking scenario AND Video Man's...whatever that was.



But in any case, who out there was actually intrigued by the idea of fighting Roll? After all, this is the ONLY FUCKING TIME IN THE ENTIRE SERIES SHE GETS THE CHANCE TO BATTLE US! I don't even think you can fight her in Rockman.exe 4.5. You can play as her there, however.



Should she? Of course she should! She's been near-useless this entire series. Give her a chance for once! Let Glide fight too while you're at it! (You can't fight Glide. Ever.)



Am I missing something here? Is Roll so powerful that using her is basically saying you're not man enough to use Mega Man?



It's about time Yai got involved in this game's sorry excuse for a story. She barely DID anything in this game.



Glide? Glide can't fight. Are you nuts?



A stalker navi. Hey, this is actually original! And it's PG-13 material in an otherwise G-rated game.

Rated G for GARBAGE that is. Now it wants to be rated M for Money.

Now, I want to ask you. How do YOU think this scenario could possibly go?



YES. KIDNAPPED.

A COMPUTER PROGRAM WAS KIDNAPPED.

Why didn't she fight back? Why didn't she call for help sooner?!

WHY DIDN'T SHE JUST FUCKING JACK OUT?!



WHY DIDN'T YOU HELP HER?! YOU'RE THE ONE WILL ALL THE RARE, EXPENSIVE BATTLECHIPS AND WEAPONRY! FUCKING LIFEAURA! FUCKING HEROSWORD! Oh wait, that's the anime. On second thought, you just stand there while I do all the work.



This perverted navi has fallen in love with Roll, and has kidnapped her and surrounded her with deadly Mettaurs.

First of all, this is Park Area 3, but it's not all the way in the back. Just thought I'd mention it.

Second, instead of a stalker's navi getting a pink fetish, we've got a navi - a GENERIC NAVI - falling in LOVE with Roll. Weren't emotions reserved for Mega Man?



They're fucking Mettaurs. She could just bust herself out. I mean, she IS competent at combat, right?



Of course you can't break the door down or anything. It looks like we have to find the stalker navi! He's shopping, so he could be at a NetDealer in Town Area! Or at a NetDealer anywhere!



LIFE SWORD! HYPER BURST! GIGA CANNON! Insert other PAs here!



You're not going to believe this.



SHE STILL HASN'T JACKED OUT! Oh, and get this! The viruses love her too, so they won't kill her like they should! Viruses. In love.



Just in case you were suffering fuckup withdrawal.



Mega Man makes a big deal out of not wanting to hurt Roll. Dude, this is a Net Battle. She'll be perfectly safe. You could Gater her six times and she'd be fine.



...Clank.



Or he could, you know, just be concerned about your safety. Net Battles have turned sour before.



JACK OUT, YOU CUNT! IT'S NOT THAT HARD! OR DELETE THE VIRUSES!



Oh yeah, she can charm viruses.



After that you get mail from Roll asking you to jack in to this toy. Why?




TAG.

SHE WANTS TO FUCKING PLAY A SCHOOLYARD GAME.

SO SHE CAN SHOW HOW FAST SHE IS.

WHY CAN'T YOU JUST BATTLE ME ALREADY?!



Mayl: Roll! Where have you been?!
Roll: I was playing tag with Mega Man
Mayl: ...After the match, I am SO reformatting you.

So you have to tag her with the A button 3 times. And it's really annoying because she keeps teleporting randomly. Not hard, but very, very stupid.



Wanna bet?







You wish this was Marvel vs. Capcom, but it isn't.

Roll can whip you with that thing on her head, she can summon viruses, and the Roll Arrow can DESTROY BATTLE CHIPS. DO NOT GET HIT BY IT.



I can believe it. I mean that's basically what the Heelnavis do, right?



Mayl says it's a secret. Somebody clue us in!




Hey, that's kind of touching.




Also, we get the rather embarrassing Roll Soul.

You get Roll Soul when you sacrifice a recovery chip. While in Roll Soul, using any chip - ANY at all - recovers 10% of your HP, in addition to whatever the chip does. You can recover a lot of damage if your folder is fluent. Your charge shot becomes the Roll Arrow, which DESTROYS ANY BATTLE CHIP THE TARGET IS ARMED WITH. This is situational in-game and COMPLETELY AWESOME in multiplayer. Of course, your opponent would have to actually be dumb enough to select his chips and then get hit without using them.

Not to mention the fact that no-one with a brain would EVER play this game in multiplayer.

Also, you have to fight Guts Man DS again, even though we never fought Guts Man this playthrough.



HE certainly got a bit tougher...
