RE said text: Ohh Bright Man- I can objectively look back and say Mega Man 4 had some of the DUMBEST robot masters ever and a weird plot but I don’t care I still love the game and all its nutty 90s CAPCOM goodness.
Besides it had THIS GUY
I don’t really get how the blade hit the harpy that way. It was flying high enough that WAV was well off the ground, and flying in a prone body position, torso and limbs parallel to the ground, but the blade hits it in the *back*. A high arc doesn’t really make sense when a straight throw would be more effective, and the motion lines show no sign of either arc or spin on the blade, yet somehow it plunges in not too far off from 90 degrees (which should mean from somewhere in the very general direction of *up*, not below or behind).
Probably the harpy was backwinging to come to a stop just past the edge of the cliff. That way it could drop Wav and then turn around to return to the fight immediately.
I love those old banned games, however, I’m calling cartoon laws of physics here, a bastard sword isn’t balanced like a Jart.
For people who didn’t get to experience these in the 70’s and early 80’s. Think like a barroom dart but instead of a few ounces and a few inches, these things were 4-5lbs had a long metal spike, a 9″ or so tail, and were about 4″ in diameter around the tail fin. They could be thrown 150′ and the idea was to aim for a target the size of a huluhoop. These were weapons we gave to 12 year old kids, so of course people got injured when they stopped paying attention to what was going on around them.
There’s deja vu in the Matrix.
Na-na-na-na-na…. Flat Man! Flat Man! Flat Man!
Please help? That’s about as weird as Data using contractions. There’s a disturbance in the plot.
Dun dun dun!
Doesn’t seem weird. He’s always polite, and he is used to a well-documented help system.
That’s just a common form of speech where the initial statement is more intricate and explanatory, followed by a short blunt restatement.
“Our foe’s continued existence will prove incompatible with ours.
– i.e. KILL THE B@&^(*!!”
Wait till you see what comes next…
WAV’s not in the best state of mind, dangling over what looks to be an endless void.
… or, is he?
Deja vu?

Betting on sudden flashback and memories for WAV.
…and/or Byron if Wav looses his helmet, more PTSD ether way.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WE HAVE A PSYCHIC!
Direct visual callbacks, out of order though.
Panel 3 is panel 2 here. http://guildedage.net/comic/chapter-11-page-19/
Panel 4 is panel 6 here, 2 pages earlier. http://guildedage.net/comic/chapter-11-page-17/
Panel 5 (WAV’s part, at least) is panel 2 on the page between. http://guildedage.net/comic/chapter-11-page-18/
Even to the point of the finger positioning being the same when he’s holding the edge.
I knew it, it’s the same retextured level sold as new content. Hurricane devs are such scumbags.
Wow, I’m getting chills.
Of course, that might be the icy chasm talking.
Yeah, I caught that too.
Thanks for being a good sort and linking it.
That was one hell of a throw!

Comic-book physics.
Or maybe by heading to the precipice the harpy went downway along the side of a snow bank, so the blade went down on it.
Probably the harpy was backwinging to come to a stop just past the edge of the cliff. That way it could drop Wav and then turn around to return to the fight immediately.
That seems the most reasonable justification. Thanks.
Clearly you’ve never played Lawn Darts.

I thought it was Byron’s short sword.
Interesting throw. Must have been a parabolic trajectory…
Hyperbolic?
Bah. Birdie was hit by a knive-shaped drone.
Apparently Best’s nemesis is gravity.
Which makes sense if he’s actually going under a stage to swith costumes.
She’s built like a steakhouse but she handles like a bistro.
That’s how the math works out in bistros…
Hmmm, this looks familiar.
TAKE YOUR GLOVE OFF FIRST THIS TIME.
Gonna one-hand lift WAV with the perforated arm. This cannot fail.
Oh, snap! This is familiar! Perhaps his next reincarnation will be the Best one. (bah-boom!)
Heh, Byron, you fool! Take off your gloves! Don’t you remember?
Yeah… what can possibly go wrong with this one? *hides eyes*
Dammit, Byron, is this going to happen every time we resurrect you?
“Help! I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”
“Tis a fearsome foe!
