Rockman.EXE : The (Hypothetically) Abridged Series

So I'm watching the first episode of Rockman.EXE with subs, and I was thinking about what it would be like if the series got the Abridged treatment afforded so many other shows.

To me, the original version of the series seems pretty dry, with quite a bit of space in the first episode devoted to silent air, where nothing significant happens. On top of that, there are no really interesting things to poke fun at about the characters so early in the series. It's only when more characters appear that it gets possible to really keep the jokes flowing.

NT Warrior, on the other hand, is bound to be easy pickings. Cheap cuts, bad dialogue and questionable accents (Hinoken/Mr. Match as a Scot, Famous/Meijin as an Englishman). Any sort of Abridged attempt would have to rip on this more than the original.

Still,both versions offer their share of jokes. What I want to ask to you guys is what types of stuff you would joke about if doing an Abridged series for EXE/NT Warrior.

Some of my observations:
-Lan actually has both of his parents ALIVE. Not too many shounen heroes can claim that now, can they?
-The whole thing with Lan's parents making out at the end of each game. You've just got to wonder what their "private time" is like.
-Lan is the man of the house with his father not there. Why not have his mother pester him like he's the father of her children?
-Gutsman+Donkey Kong=awesome.

So these aren't the greatest jokes around. What difference does it make?

As for me, I'll be catching up on the series, getting a feel for it. I don't have the NT Warrior series readily available, but it should be somewhere on the Net.

Maybe because he isn't the father of her children? But I may be wrong. It's quite possible that they conceived an abomination to traditional family values. Doujins are a canonlogical expansion, after all.

Okay, I just phrased that one wrong. i meant pester him like he was her husband. As in "You're the man around here, why don't you put out the fire?"

Like I said, not much to mine from just that many characters. It's the secondary characters I can really get jokes out of.

i quite like the Gutsman.exe is Donkey Kong idea. Maybe Only insert Donkey Kong sounds for the big lug. And then later, say he got an upgrade and give him the short lived DK voice of the DKC show.

So we'd have to put up with Guts Man saying "banana-slamma!" every episode?

Oh, the cruelty of it all...

Hey, if done right, it wouldn't be so bad to hear DK's decrepit American voice. Besides, mixing in clips may be enough to make it comedy gold. Besides, we can always upgrade Gutsy's voice again by the 3rd season.

You make it sound...so...ripoffy. I was just thinking we'd upgrade Gutsy every season, his voice doesn't need to die. it would still exist as versions. Such as Gutsvoice 1.0,2.0,3.0 and so on, and so forth.

you made it sound like it was. =P

i still think it would be odd to still include the old voises after "upgrading" it, but oh well, might work better wen i hear it.
