Girl character with an Arm Cannon.. Must be a Samus Aran ripoff...
Honestly, the comparison to megaman or any other character is simply based on the notion that nobody believes that any idea can be original anymore. Because of that, folks feel the need to go out and find the source of inspiration and use it as flame material for the creators. Angelic Burster has a lot of influences in it. How come nobody is saying that the grappling hook maneuver that Kaiser has is an obvious Rygar ripoff? Or a Bionic Commando ripoff? (Cuz 95% of you aren't old enough to remember those games...) In the end, it has pretty much all been done before to some degree. Unfortunately this has created a modern generation of cynics who can't just enjoy things for what they are regardless of the inspirational sources they drew from. Yeah, it's highly similar to some popular characters, but that's perfectly fine. It doesn't require any further analysis than that.
