Mega Man Battle Network is an iconic series from Capcom that combines classic RPG elements with a unique tactical combat system.
Despite not being designed with esports in mind, Mega Man Battle Network has withstood the test of time and even cultivated it’s own competitive grassroots community that’s going strong to this day.
This is the story of Mega Man Battle Network esports and the people behind it.

Honestly, I'm disappointed they didn't continue the game. The idea of RTS coupled with unlimited limited choices is so good. Like, you could try using poison and stall for time, combo them with wind or vacuum and hit them with a heavy card, or simply do the ol fashioned ice field, water card, then heavy card, or if you're feeling freaky, use the grass field, and stack whatever +shit you got and the strongest and if possible widest attack, then you could theoretically 1 hit them delete them, unless they have the 1hp saving grace that I forgot what the code is called. Also, I called them cards but they are chips right?

@@kaimering Without rollback this is what happens. You see your opponent go in for an attack and move to dodge. The attack still hits you even though you know you dodged it because your ping was higher than your opponents and on his game you did not dodge in time. Rollback fixes this by "rewriting" actions in the proper order as if there had been no lag. So it detects that although your dodge didn't make it to the server in time to dodge it did do this on your game so it corrects the issue.

I had no idea this series had a thriving & growing competitive scene, and while it's unlikely I'll ever compete, it's so encouraging to know there are others out there keeping this deeply, wonderfully creative series alive. tl;dr - Shoutout from a fellow BN fan.

@user-mg1bi8cy8s 2 жыл бұрын

Writing this comment after the trailer dropped and what made BN so successful was the lack of information out there for everything. I started at BN3 and I was a kid but the only resource we had was game FAQs no YT or anything so the best combos and what not was discovered by your friends or yourself running into it. I loved and hated that but looking back on it grinding all 7 stars in BN3 by myself was such a damn achievement

BN3 was seriously amazing in how much you could do with all the chips in the game. Not everything was broken, but you could have fun with pretty much any of the battle chips.

Capcom was trying to pioneer with weird innovations like that. They also made a game (with some minor references and a cameo in one of Battle Network games) called Boktai: The Sun Is In Your Hand that had a strip thing on the cartridge to absorb sunlight (like old calculators) to recharge your sun-gun weapon thing (the game was about a vampire hunter or something)

Sometimes when I think back, I'm fine with not having had much access to the internet as a kid. But seeing how things started like this is very awesome. I loved BN for such a long time and figured that not many people played because no one in school really did. Though I've been lucky to have someone point me to N1GP a few months ago. And today it is very awesome to hear about the history! Enjoyed th video! Have a nice day everyone.

@@MrVariant That's because it would be hard to balance and control balance back then without going Konami at it, which would mean enforcing rules rather than having patches.
