Metal Man's first step to taking the division is finally upon us -- the moment we've been waiting for. Let's see what a Robot Master really can do!

Mega Man X and Zero look solid and Western action stars are looking to be in tough shape...just saying, watch out Lara!

I can't wait, but also I unfortunately cannot be here for the board vote...can somebody save pictures please and post them here?

Whoa I wanted to listen to the song and just saw that hyadain made his YT channel public again. It had been inaccessible for a few years now (or maybe he limited it to Japan?) He hasnt uploaded anything else to it, but its still nice to know all that stuff is available from the original source again

You can never take away that Metal Man did better than Protoman this contest.

Just realized my original pitch was almost exactly five years ago today, wow! One more time for the ages, here was the original pitch:

11/3/13
+ Nominate METAL MAN! [Character Battle 20XX]

Welcome to the official Metal Man rally: where men become Men.

http://tinyurl.com/kmnvtgn

Its time we see a Robot Master. Mega Man-games are awesome largely because of its great casts of bosses, right? Metal Man is an iconic RM from Mega Man 2, the most classic MM-game. Hes the man we need to cut this streak and get one into a contest!

Sure, hes a memorable boss from a legendary series known for its focus on bosses...but maybe youre not sold yet. Thats okay -- his legend goes beyond that. Defeating him gave you the power of Metal Blade, which famously wrecked most of your enemies in this difficult game. This power encouraged savvy players to fight him first, then use his power through-out the rest of their quest.

Yeah, but does anybody actually like him? Se7enthrusts most recent Save My Mega Man Boss-contests suggest people care about Metal Man. He lost to Pharaoh Man in one championship, but he also redeemed himself in another championship when he skunked Air Man 59-0. Since Metal Man was the only RM to make it to the end of both contests and MM2s cast had the most support of any MM-game, Metal Man looks like Board 8s safest choice.

Metal Man can also rock in a contest. In fact, his timing is perfect since Mega Man just had his best Character Battle yet; he beat Charizard despite Zeros LFF and nearly beat Mewtwo + Pikachu COMBINED in a year of Pokemania, so MM-nostalgia is strong today. The fan-reaction to Capcoms apathy, success of Mighty No. 9s Kickstarter, and addition of Mega Man in SSB4 support this notion too.

Speaking of SSB4, did you know Nintendo showed off Metal Man and Metal Blade first in Mega Mans power-montage?

Lets be real: Mega Man, Mega Man X, and Zero are probably out of reach in a contest...but heres my bold prediction: Metal Man will be the next strongest Mega Man-character, which means hed have to beat Proto Man. The argument is simple: the role of Robot Master is more iconic, MM2 >> MM3, and Metal Man even sneaks into MM3 to steal some spotlight. I dont expect MM9-DLC, MM10, and a whistle to save Blues here. If Metal > Proto, that means Metal Man could have scored the upset on Ike this past contest...or even challenged Epona!

Even if he falls short of Proto Man, its hard to imagine Metal Man bombing. Hed definitely beat Dr. Wily, for example; RMs are much more anticipated than Dr. Wilys fights and a lot of players dont complete many MM-games, so recurring eyebrow-raises arent enough. Pit him against Servbot, and youd see a certain 2002-result get exposed. Like any worthwhile character, he could at least crush Sigma and Roll combined. Metal Man has some range, but he wont go too low -- he beats these other MM-reps weve seen before.

Character Battle 20XX: you know who to pick first.

Okay, I think it's time for me to leave for a show, but I'm gonna leave with a confession.

My bracket has Lara > Metal Man...and I've been regretting it more and more as we get closer to this match since I think he'll impress, but I doubted. Lara in 2013 looked better than I was ready for.

No more. MMX and Zero are looking fine and Western characters are flailing. Better late than never -- gimme that upset with a big bad Metal Blade.

Metal Man with 52.08%

We're at 3 shitty Tomb Raider reboots in the last 5 years, and yet Lara Croft is still holding strong. Hopefully the same can be said for Dante despite Donte.

Welp. Can't win them all.

Good show by Lara, good call by Axem, and WHAT A FANTASTIC JOB BY METAL MAN FANS TO GET US TO TODAY

Ya'll are awesome and I'm glad we finally have an answer to how well a Robot Master would do in a contest. Now stay tuned for the sequel when we rally Toad Man to see how low they can go...!

lord no that's not happening

Storm Eagle if serious, Chill Penguin if for fun.

And dang, just realized Metal Man was in the Nintendo Direct today for Smash! 16:48 as a spirit...and yet Lara is still cleaning house. She's practically an elite now!

A shame Metal Man had to go up against someone like Lara round 1.

But getting here at all is a win for Metal Man!

And yeah, Storm Eagle is probably the most popular OG Maverick.

Robot Masters are much broader than any single Mega Man game, so I ran with the big dog to best represent them...but yeah, still came from one game.

No regrets.
