Steel Sensei

This is one of my favorite 25th anniversary tribute images published in R20+5. The art stands pretty well on its own, but to catch all the jokes and innuendo some translation may be required.

On X

This edition of The Answer is thematically devoted to X’s wardrobe: What he wears, why he wears it, what he could have worn, and what’s underneath.

Brilliant Fashion Show Window

The world of ZX is known for its trendy fashion and incredible hairstyles. After all, where would the game be without Serpent’s luscious soul ‘fro?* Therefore it’s only natural that all this series’ topics from The Answer have to do with how people look and what they’re wearing. (All two of them.)

The Shitennou (the Japanese name for the Four Guardians of Master X) make up some of the most memorable new characters from the Zero series. Despite their being on opposing sides of a domestic war and harboring an intense rivalry with our protagonist Zero, somehow they were never quite our enemies. They sought peace while […]

The Answer

R20+5 contains page after page of interviews with Rockman series artists, past, present, and up and coming. It culminates in a section called “The Answer” where more than 10 representatives of Capcom and Inti Creates take turns answering over 50 of the fans’ Rockman-related questions gathered from Rockman Unity.

Polly want a Force Metal

Written by #20 on 2013/01/23 Wednesday — 2 Comments

Rockman X Command Mission‘s concept art section is slightly expanded in R20+5, with the images spread across 2 extra pages.
