Sundry Sunday: Dr. Light Resorts to Violence

Sundry Sunday is our weekly feature of fun gaming culture finds and videos, from across the years and even decades.

HyperVoiceActing is a Youtube channel that frequently posts humorous vignettes, often involving video game characters, and hey that’s what Sundry Sunday mostly presents, so here’s one of theirs!

Dr. Wily and Dr WrLight have had a long rivalry, but usually their battles are by proxy, Wily through Robot Masters, Light through RockMega Man. One has to wonder if their time in grad school prepared them for this.

This video presents a scenario in which Light has had enough, and calls out Dr. Wily for what is refrered to in robotics circles as an ass-whoopin. The interesting things about that is, first, Dr. Wily seems worried that Dr. Light might actually get squished by his latest skull machine. This should properly be seen as a sop to the shippers, but I’m not annoyed, it’d probably happen anyway. Wily obviously cares deeply about what Dr. Light thinks, otherwise he wouldn’t rail* against him so much.

Second, Wily actually takes Dr. Light up on his challenge to settle their rivalry with fisticuffs. As for the outcome, well…. (2 minutes)

* Note: Completely platonic meaning for “rail”
