swearing involved in this yap

alright, so...

Megaman Battle & Chase – genuinely one of my most played and favorite games.

for those unfamiliar to any of my possible previous explanations of the game....

instead of battling through a stage and eventually blasting a hole through the Robot Master at the end, you race as your chosen robot – they all have different reasons for participating, but the end goal eventually becomes the same – to race against the rest of them all! of course, once you win, there's a reward of the prize money! some robots aimed to get this. others... well, like I said. they have their own reasons for being in the race. either way...

OH GOD, A JACKASS! WILY!!

after the prize money is attempted to be handed to your robot, Doctor Fuckface Wily steals it! ...what a surprise.

...unless you're playing as Protoman, that's actually the whole reason he participated in the race. he expected this. anyway!

after your prize money is stolen from the hands of Ripot, one of the race spectator/reporter robots, you get to race against Bass (if you didn't choose to play as him) and Wily with his stupid overpowered cheating car. On another note; if he wants to play dirty then there's so reason why you shouldn't! Go win the races against Quickman and take the parts from his car!!

being serious by the way, to have an advantage, I recommend these two parts for the racing build specifically.

the car body of the Sonic Formula, Quickman's car, which will make your special gauge power be a speed boost, and the wing from the Shinobi Master, the shuriken-shaped wing from Shadowman's car, which will increase the speed in which your special gauge fills. these two things will compliment eachother in the race so you can spam your speed boost faster like the true chaotic racer you really are. anyway, back to my explanation.

you beat the robot masters and wily through racing, and in those races you also have super cool items and stuff.

some of them aren't that cool actually, like.. LANDMINES...

unless you can navigate around them

because it changes every single thing on the track to landmines temporarily

ANYWAY

I love Battle and Chase. everything about it is cool. I wish it was more appreciated and got good attention from the places the game never made it to.

but there's so much potential for another game like this – not for the classic series, but for MegaMan Battle Network!

I feel like everyone ignores the MULTIPLE instances where the NetNavis have canonically raced!!!

there was the NetMobile Grand Prix,

...and the Navi Car Race.

...Protoman can drive both a car and a motorcycle, by the way. wowie..

[the rest of the images will be from the NetMobile Grand Prix.]

we have all we need here!!

awesome tracks to race on...

CARS...

MOTORCYCLES...

multiple characters to race as and against, (whats shown isn't all of the Navi racers obviously) AAANNNNDDD....

there's even Battlechips called Accessory Chips to customize your car and use items and all that!!

TELL ME THIS WOULDN'T BE A REALLY COOL GAME!!

I think it would be an interesting concept to race against the other Navis and win for your chosen Navi's NetOperator. I think this would be better than Mario Kart any day.

but alas, they did not decide to keep the original idea of Battle & Chase going, and Crapcom still has left the Megaman community abandoned, but...

fangames are real. and as far as i'm concerned, people like the creators of the fangame Megaman X Corrupted are some of the only content actively being made in relation to games. the community is very much alive still, in so many aspects!!!

...I wish it would be a real game so badly.

but again, nobody really pays attention to this NT Warrior and Battle Network racing stuff, and it's not gonna happen. I can imagine it though

OKAY I'M DONE TALKING THANKS BYEEEEEE
