He's taller than -6ft, Anon.

The only character I can find evidence that Inafune designed from beginning to end is Zero.

A lot of people make the mistake that Inafune worked on a game = Inafune did all the designs.

He's never created anything. Hes not, and never has been, an artist. He just handles the money and marketing. How do you people still not know what a producer does?

>>383258664
It doesn't sound like he's a businessman any more.

How are simple 1 man project "fan games" so much better than multi-million dollar "professional" games?

People always associate everything in a game with the face of the project. When you see people talk about FF15, for example, you'd think that Nomura and Tabata were the only two people who ever worked on the game from the way people talk.

>Hes not, and never has been, an artist.

He did illustrations and some designs (Not Mega man, Roll, Wily and other major characters) for the original series. As he grew more important he did less and less art. After he became a producer he seems to ahve stopped entirely.

So it's correct to say that he was once an artist.

>>383259394
That means /v/ has to hate him now, right? /v/ doesn't like short guys.

>>383260196
I'm not claiming he's warning anyone. I'm just saying that that is fully within context. Someone asks if he's a fan of the work that Inafune has produced and Kamiya responds basically saying he hasn't produced anything.

>>383260342
And my original reply was to this:

>>383258802
>Except Kamiya warned you two years ago.

I always see that same tweet posted in every MN9 thread and always with some comment about Kamiya "warning" people, which is not the case.

>>383260342
>>383260196

You're both right. Inafune's a producer, you can thank him for getting the project funded, and office work type management shit. The fans had this wildly distorted and exaggerated view of Inafune that he's a director who created Mega Man, the X series, etc and directed all the games.

>>383260196
Why are you deliberately ignoring >>383259142

>>383258663

>>383258996
He pulled it off really well. I remember when I bought the Mega Man Anniversary Collection on the Gamecube and there was a documentary about Inafune on it.

Made me think he was the creator of Mega Man.

>>383260952
He even asks why they take the businessman part as a bad thing in that very picture. Him saying MN9 being a copy isn't a negative thing, isn't the very reason people funded it in the first place because they wanted Megaman and Capcom wasn't giving it to them?

Him laughing about the game being shit was after the fact when it came out and turned out to be shit.

>>383261627
>Him saying MN9 being a copy isn't a negative thing
Him calling it "an insult to their old home" is, though.

>>383261597

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdw4zquKqVg

That doc is basically ground zero for the "Inafune created Mega Man" myth.

>>383261713
Considering his past with Capcom I don't really think he meant it in a "wow this guy is an asshole" way.

What happened with that game? What were they spending 3.8 million dollars on then?

I'd imagine such a collossal fuckup would result in Inafune being branded as toxic to publishers and they would stop giving him money. Maybe that's why he had to rely on the naive Chinamen?

Honestly, from the moment he announced MN9 he sincerely believed he had perfectly captudwd and transitioned the Megaman fanbase onto his new IP. The guy just took it as a total given that this would be some uninterrupted new direction for Megaman that fans would just totally accept as part of the mainline franchise. That's why he didn't focus on or care about the game, he actually believed he just transferred all of the franchise's fans onto his new independent company.

>>383259124
Kamiya is clearly explaining that Inafune doesn't create anything, at a time wen Inafune was pushing that he created mega man. No more no less.

>copypasted nu-Ciel

>>383269875
>The guy just took it as a total given
Well, he took the funds as a total given. "What? Four mirrion dorrah? I CAN DO ANYTHING!" and just assumed fans would accept whatever he shat out because they put down the dosh.

Beck's design is garbage and Call wasn't even designed by the same creator in-universe. It made more sense to go with the obvious Not-Roll from day one

That's why everyone knew there was no real choice

call is cold and logical and her stage is just the best of the whole game

>>383269875

I noticed that too. Which is why he was so eager to multi-media the series so fast. He likely felt that Capcom was not exploiting the series as much as they should have. So Inafune was gonna show them. There would be the Mighty Number 9 cartoon, lunchboxes, t-shirts, card games, live action hollywood film, etc.

>>383258590
>fans still try to shill him in spite of how dejected they are their one true hope flopped

>>383270106

Inafune is just copying Kitamura when he created "Rock" and "Roll". But that had a deeper significance, as the series was deeply tied to catchy memorable music. I don't think "Beck" and "Call" has any significance for MN9. It's just an empty pun.

Recore was just an Exec producer, which is "whatever", and Inafune's only real contribution for MN9 was one design for the contest and being the person who put the project together. He didn't really even work on either games.

Honestly of all the characters that could've had a cold, kuudere personality like Rei I don't think the secondary female partner that fits Roll's role was a good spot for that. Also her gameplay is pretty garbage too compared to actual Mega Man, it's just Beck's shitty dash gimmick actively ruined the game

Also Beck is just a continuation of X's shitty writing

SAD!

>>383272469
Inafune didn't create Mega Man, that was some random nobody named Akira Kitamura, who was the head for only Mega Man 1 and 2

Inafune himself has even said Mega Man was partially made by the time he joined Capcom. He was the artist at the time, and eventually the only person to still be working on the series which due to Japan's seniority system eventually he became a major figurehead

He was fully responsible for all things related to Zero, however. If anything he should be the father of Zero

>>383272897
>He was fully responsible for all things related to Zero, however. If anything he should be the father of Zero

Probably why he kept pushing X to more of the sideline, and made Zero the star of the X series.

>>383271694

RKS also has a little girl literally fighting in her underwear you degenerate.

>>383272897
>some random nobody named Akira Kitamura,

Everyone who met him describes him as a real genius and perfectionist, though difficult to work with. Every game he worked on was really interesting and creative. Cocoron is a way better successor to Mega Man than Mighty Number 9.

He has a blog where he talks about making plachinko machines a kid, his thoughts on vr, what makes a hero, etc. I'd like to see someone translate some of the posts, as they seem interesting and the grammar of machine translations is pretty bad.

>>383274573
It really explains how come there was more of a hint of originality in the first two games compared to the other 6

Mega Man started to stagnate hard with 3, despite all the desperate attempts to change up the formula

>>383270072
>>383270310
Call was supposedly going to start out stoic and then gain emotion through the game, so that by the end she'd be as expressive as Beck. However the whole "limited funds kek" thing happened and they never did that in the final game.
