You know I re-read the interview this is from and they seemed to have implied she was going to be ONE OF the castle bosses and not the final boss. Oops. But still close enough right?

The closest thing to Evil Roll we got was in Mega Man Battle Network where she got infected and WHIPPED the hell out of Mega Man.

Ironically, this is basically what happens to Iris in X4.

The closest we get to a roll fight is in Megaman powered up when you are facing the clone version of her.

Would you believe me if I told you this idea was re-used for MegaMan X2 and that's why we fight ZERO?

He does eventually fight his sister.
In canon.
It’s not Roll, though, but Splash Woman

Evil Roll actually appears in Megaman Powered Up remake. It's basically how that scrapped would look like it if it happened. The Weaponized version of Roll in Marvel vs Capcom as her Hyper Combo finisher is what could've been her appearance as a Final Boss.

If you think about it. Siblings fighting eachother as the final
Boss is damn depressing. Remember mother 3 when Lucas had to fight his own brother Claus?

I'm thankful for the artwork made from that scrapped idea, big Roll

Roll, despite not doing much, is one of the most popular characters in the franchise.
I think I saw a fan made game that featured her as playable character instead of MM and it was damn near perfect.

Roll? Fighting mega man. Finally, a worthy opponent. Their battle will be legendary

And Battle Network at least had the guts to let their incarnation of Roll fight MegaMan.

the evil Roll concept was later used in Rockman Ability (this is a Panchiko game btw), although not as the final boss.

Roll should've been playable by know in mainline, like powered up for the psp 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Funnily enough, a Mega Man fangame did use the idea of putting Roll in Mega Man style armor called Mega Man: Rock N' Roll (or something like that). They played slightly differently, and you eventually had to use both in the same battle to beat Wily!

I've always thought a cool plot for a Mega Man game to shake up the usual formula would be Wily capturing Rock's friends and family to weaponize them instead of building new ones. So the eight bosses would be Roll, Auto, Rush, Beat, Eddie, Tango, Proto Man, and then Bass just as his usual role of hating Rock. And when you defeat each one you unlock them in some way. So beating one of the animal buddies lets you use them in stages, or beating Auto opens up his shop.
