This fight. Where to begin...

How about I start with some positives? The analysis was HILARIOUS, I'm excited for next time, and the animation by the new animator was really great!

Now for the part everyone knew was coming...I think the fight was BS. For a multitude of reasons. First and foremost, it feels like the only reason they gave for Mega Man losing was that Astro was faster and stronger, and his arsenal wouldn't make a difference. They didn't even mention what MM's arsenal could DO to Astro. I feel as though they also left out a few key weapons. I'll just make a list. Of course, they also didn't mention Duo at all. He was able to fly from the distant reaches of space, most likely Jupiter or Saturn, to Earth in mere seconds. I'm no math genius, but I'm pretty sure that's FTL, maybe even MFTL. If Mega Man has FTL reflexes, he should be able to counter Astro's speed.
 * Astro Crush: Mega Man summons a meteor shower to rain down on his opponents. Astro could dodge most of them, but at least a few would hit him, and they would do some serious damage.
 * Gravity Hold: This would've made a huge difference! It allows Mega to either reverse or increase gravity on an opponent. Astro's flying would be used against him, is what I'm saying.
 * Flash Stopper: Like the Time Stopper, but it can be used multiple times, and he can attack while using it.
 * Electricity and heat: Oh, boy. They didn't even MENTION Astro's vulnerability to electricity, and when Mega pulled out Atomic Fire, it didn't even do much! They COMPLETELY left out Thunder Beam, which is 500,000 watts of pure electricity. Yeah, Astro's tanked more than that, but a few shots would at least do a number on him.
 * Shield weapons: Oh, boy. Here's the big one. They didn't give Mega Man a SINGLE shield weapon, aside from a brief, unnoticable mention. Any one of his shields can tank any hit, and the Leaf, Jewel, Water, and Junk shields can all take multiple hits. Hell, the Jewel Satellite is near-indestructable, unless hit with a very powerful blow. Same goes for the Leaf Shield, but he can't move around without throwing it. Though, that may be just a gameplay mechanic.

Again, this was just a rant of why I think the fight was wrong. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, and maybe I'm just being another worthless butthurt fanboy about the whole thing. Whatever.
