What if I said Mega Man 7 is the best classic entry?

It is, and I'm old enough to have played the PS2 Anniversary Collection.

You would be wrong. Very wrong.

>>723879235
The only people that are wrong are those eternal Mega Man 2 ballwashers.

7 is good but 8 is the worst in the series. 10 is best

>>723879173 (OP)
The best classic MegaMan is 3 and the worst is 8. I don't make the rules but I do adhere to them.

I'd say you're a clown, man

>>723879210
>and I'm old enough to have played the PS2 Anniversary Collection.
is this supposed to mean something?

>>723879573
Most people aren't 80 year old boomers and played the MM games in a collection as opposed to a cart.

>>723879635
go play some fortnite you zoomer faggot

>the bear's arm can't even keep a consistent shape
You're wrong.

6>4>7>5>2>3>1

6 will forever be the best.

>>723879173 (OP)
I'd say you're insane! Or a genius, I'll go 60-40

Even the weakest classic MM is a good game. That said, most of 7 is fine, especially if you like hunting for secret shit. But the level designs do generally feel simpler since everything is so fuckhueg on screen and Wily Capsule 7 is just an unfun slog of a boss even if you know what you're doing.

>>723879173 (OP)
I like 7 and 8, i was so tired of the NES graphics after the 3rd game

>>723882075
>tired of the NES graphics
Graphics can be tiring?

>chargeable buster exists
>NOOOOOOOOO THIS TRIVIALIZES THE WHOLE HECKIN GAME! THERE IS NO POINT TO USING ANY OTHER WEAPON!!!!

>>723880937
6 is garbage, why would anyone put it above 5, let alone 4

>>723881782
It's exciting to finally be fighting Wily at his peak. You can't help but respect the madman's genius. If not for V on the Gameboy it would be my favorite Wily.

>>723882946
2 is hilariously overrated but it is at least better than 5.

>>723883479
Jet Suit being based and branching level paths put 6 above 5. Funnily enough, X5 takes 6's suits and X6 takes 6's branching paths, and both execute them worse.

>>723879173 (OP)
>What if I liked the entry everyone agrees is the worst and hated the entry everyone likes as the best

Wow anon, you are so cool and totally not letting other people decide your taste ;^)

>>723879173 (OP)
I'm not sure, since I haven't played MM7 yet. But you have a hard time claiming that it's better than MM2, MM6, or MM9.

>>723883903
It's just annoying, not know what order to do the stages in so you know what weapon/suit to bring for the alternate routes. I just think 5 has tighter level design and robot masters.

>>723879173 (OP)
Classic Mega Man only became good after 7 onward.
All of which are worse than MMX1, 2, 4, and Gravity Circuit.

>>723882946
Is there an actual argument over that? Metal Blades are more fun anyway you slice it.

Charge's effective range is the same as the regular buster + some thickness, is the only shot your allowed onscreen if it's out, and has long wind up to be usable.
Metal Blades are weaker damage-wise, but you get three on screen at once. You can aim them and fire as quick as you can press the button, but they force you to be still on the ground, so you have to jump and aim more precisely to fully keep a flow going.

>>723884283
The problem with 5 is balance, or rather a complete lack of it. Everything hits hard but nothing has any real attack patterns, and the charge shot genuinely is so overtuned that there's no reason to use anything else. 5's development was basically "we did everything we wanted with 4, so just jack the damage output up on everything and call it a day".

>>723884591
So you want more action than platformer in your action platformer.

>>723885158
I like it because I can enter any boss room with nothing but the buster and stand a reasonable chance of winning on my first try. 4's stages are nothing but annoying platforming and endless spike/pit passages.

>>723882463
they are boring and lazy

>>723879173 (OP)
It's not even as good as MM8, let alone an actual NES classic. MM7 came out after MMX so there's no excuse for how bad it looks, sounds, and plays

>>723884283
It's an X1 Chill Penguin situation, you either go to Flame and Plant early to get the suits, or you don't have anything to get into alt paths

>>723884028
>the entry everyone agrees is the worst
Who actually thinks that? 7 isn't in my top 3 of the classic series, but it's solid. If anything I think anyone who truly hates 7 probably hates 8 more.

>>723885504
The problem I have with any game after 3 is that they came out after the SNES had released. Now, I'm not saying they're bad, but they were no longer the cutting edge of video game technology like 1-3 were. You could feel the NES cheapness on 4-6, like why the fuck are games still being made for this console? Just make them on the SNES.

>>723885293
5 is probably the easiest of the classic entries due to how overtuned it is.

>>723885945
Isn't 6 or 10 easier? It's one of those for sure.

>>723879173 (OP)
That would be like me saying sonic advance 3 is best 2D entry

Dangerous but incredibly based talk.

>>723885771
Late NES games are the opposite of "cheap." Like, no shit, you're not going to magically stuff a SNES game into one, but all the improved chips and dev experience let them stand miles above early Famicom titles, and easily punch above their weight class. SMB3 vs SMW is hotly debated for a reason.

7 is a really dope entry. Having that as ur favorite is way cooler than saying 9

>>723879173 (OP)
I respect it. What else would be the best? one of the 6 nes games that are all the same except some are total dogshit like 1 or incredibly overrated like 2? In the end, it's not such a big deal in such a series where there's hardly any innovation at all between entries. As long as you don't pick 1, 2 or 8 it's all the same to me. I guess 5 and 6 are also forgettable and unremarkable as fuck.

>>723886517
SMB3 is just better, and SMW was a launch title. But SMB3 vs Yoshi's Island? C'mon.

Remember that the NES was already very old at that point.

>>723886131
6, maybe. 5's charge shot is disgustingly good and carries like no other game does. 10, absolutely not. I would even say 10's Hard Mode is a contender for the hardest experience with a numbered MM.

>>723886610
3 is pretty buggy, but I really think that's when they hit their stride in terms of game experience. You fight top tier robot masters, and then fight every boss form the last game. That's a fucking flex we wouldn't see again until Monster Hunter Dos.

>>723886820
Unfortunately it follows that up with a blatantly unfinished Wily fortress. It would probably be my favorite out of the NES games otherwise.

I am the biggest fan of Mega Man 3. It's my favorite by far. That being said:
>Inflates your playtime

>>723886730
NTA but I think YI is the weakest of the games you just listed. It's also wildly different in style and gameplay, might as well compare them to American SMB2.

>>723887075
I think the bosses are geat, except the turtle one, that one's fucking stupid. Getting ambushed by 3 Mega Men, seeing those yellow blocks fly in, it feels like they could do something wonderful with that fortress if we ever got a 3D game.

>>723887240
I wonder if every stage was going to have a hard mode during production?

What exactly is so wrong with 7 again? I've played all these games multiple times. I'm uncertain what 2 and 3 (often cited at the best) does better than a title like 7.

>>723879173 (OP)
I like 4 and 5 because those were the ones I had as a kid.

>>723887447
It was made by the gameboy team. I happen to love the gameboy games so I love 7, but people who never played them dislike the different style. 8 is the one I really, really fucking hate.

>>723887461
I had 1, 3 and 7. On the gameboy I had 1, 2, 3 and 4.

3 > 4 > 7 > 1 > 5(gameboy) > 11 > 2 > 6 > 10 > MM&B > 5 > 9 > 8

>>723887240
>inflates your playtime
How embarrassing.

what's wrong with 8? it's literally 7 spiritual successor

Why do people hate MM8?

>>723887731
9 > 11 > 6 > 4 > 3 > 10 > 8 > 2 > 5 > 1 > 7

I think I've played some of the Gameboy entries but don't recall feeling any sort of way about them except maybe the first, which was a bit bullshit if memory serves me right.

>>723888092
>>723888109
It gets really experimental with weaving special weapon usage into the level designs, which is cute but gets in the way of the simple run-and-gun shit. Also, some people think it leans too far into its aesthetic and ends up feeling slow and off due to focusing on its looks.

>>723888140
this is nearly my list it you swap 8 and 7

>>723888109
It's a much slower paced game, and filled with nearly as many gimmick stages as normal levels. This isn't a mystery, it's just not like most other Mega Man games before or after it.

>1, 2, and 3 have the most memorable Robot Masters, music, and gameplay
>From 4 onward, stage themes become a lot less catchy and Robot Masters aren't as iconic
Whuh happun

>>723888092
>>723888109
Megaman feels sluggish. Feels like he barley crosses pits with his pathetic jump. Weapons are alright but the balance is pretty bad. Flash bomb will be equipped for 90% of the game. I do like how you can equip a weapon and still use the megabuster, kinda wish that returned fora later entry. Rush abilites suck, the healing one is the only real good one and it kinda just scatters random healing shit about though more often than not gives enough to fully heal you. OST also doesn't feel like megaman music. It has a nice vibe but doesn't suit an action platformer well. I do quiet like the ost regardless. It's not bad (imo there are no bad classic numbered megaman games) but its the weakest

>>723888140
when it comes to the gameboy games 5 is the best one, you can tell the devs really learned how to make a megaman game at that point. Original robot masters and new weapons are really cool. As for the bullshit in the first game you're prolly remember the last stage because it has the worst disappearing block section in the entire series.

>>723879173 (OP)
Then I would call you a liar, and in a more civilized age, challenge you to a duel

>>723879173 (OP)
That isn't Mega Man 4, though.

>>723879173 (OP)
You'd be wrong, but it's definitely overhated. I appreciate how much hidden stuff the game has: Alternate routes, powerups like Protoman's shield or Beat, interactive stage elements that your boss weapons work on... etc.

>>723889628
4 is shit

>>723888803
5 and 7 osts are godly. Wasn't 5 Yoko Shimomura?

>>723879271
The entire franchise flows like water under my ass and balls. Mweep.

>>723890027
If you shoot Freezeman with his own weapon, he strikes a pose and heals

>>723888109
abysmal level design on a completely different realm from the rest
Tengu, Frost, Astro, Flame, Clown immediately come to mind as being almost entirely autoscroller or based around a waiting gimmick

apart from that, ugly aesthetics and shit dub

>>723890314
I know, it's fucking great. Other bosses had negative interactions too. Coil man becomes a magnet if you electrify him.

>>723888109
For every one good idea it had, it had two bad ideas that dragged the experience down. Also, while Classic Megaman was always the more lighthearted series, the aesthetics and music in 8 are downright soft and mild.

And of course, pic related. Because nothing fits better in a moderately paced platforming shooter like twitch reactions and making all your special weapons useless. It's a shame, because their counterpart Rush Jet SHMUP sections are actually pretty fun. They felt like a creative expansion on Mega Man's core gameplay loop instead of throwing it all out for proto quicktime events.

>>723879173 (OP)
Then you'd be wrong, the best Megaman game is clearly Megaman for the Sega Game Gear

>>723890504
I mean Spring man, whatever.

>>723879173 (OP)
>classic entry
>not 8 bit
you are wrong

>>723890504
It's not classic, but you can sever Mammoth's trunk in X1 with the boomerang.

7 is contentious as a game, but I think we can all agree it has some of the coolest Robot Masters

>>723890183
Yes, 4 is shit. But we're not talking about Battle Network right now.

>>723890695
The OST for some of these guys... Ridiculous. Gods Capcom was powerful then.

>>723890695
Slash Man was a cool acknowledgment the Game Boy games happened and I really like Shade Man and Turbo Man

Lazier Robot Masters like Junk Man being, canonically, "Dr. Wily ran out of ideas and ran into budgetary problems" is funny as shit AND gives some interesting Robot Master ideas

>>723890513
>Because nothing fits better in a moderately paced platforming shooter like twitch reactions and making all your special weapons useless
Wily 1 you can at least stall the remaining part of that section out with Astro Crush if you make it far enough in since you stay afloat when you use it, and you won't be needing it for the boss anyway.

>>723890808
THAT FUCKING THEME HOLY SHIT

>>723890889
I replayed III GB last week and can verify that if you do nothing, Skull Man also just stands there forever.

>>723890791
why the hell could they not just use the original japanese art instead of getting some talentless fuckface to draw these awful redesigns for everything

>>723890961
Same with his NES incarnation. Throughout this series, there are several "input readers." They react when YOU press a button. Like Gemini Man and Fire Man.

I like Bright Man's/Junk Man's stages because they tried being horror levels :)

>>723890980
Honestly, as a kid I never noticed anything wrong with the covers.

>>723890808
>Gyro Man was supposed to be Jet Man, but Wily couldn't afford it.
>Crystal Man was made to produce counterfeit gems to fund Wily.
>Turbo Man was made out of Wily's Car.
>Junk Man is literally Wily giving up.
>Aqua Man is built off a defective Frost Man prototype that couldn't freeze its water.
They don't mean much in the grand scheme of things, but little details like this really make Wily and his minions feel more alive.

>>723890791
Some good old SNES slap bass in there. There were a few MM7 tracks I thought were kind of annoying but it also had all time greats like Shade Man and all the Wily stage themes were winners too.

>>723890980
Focus group studies said "japanese art is le bad".

Mega Man is the reason I started using the internet. I wanted to see when Mega Man Mania was coming out, and listen to all the MIDIs on the Mega Man Homepage. Also read Bob and George.

>>723890891
I forgot how good Junk Man's theme was

>>723884591
A frogfag with a bad take!

Despite it starting with a 3 minute unskippable cutscene, I actually kind of love the prologue and intro stage in 7. They always get me hyped up.

>>723891281
>Also read Bob and George.
My brother.

>>723891187
Frost Man himself being a giant dipshit cobbled together out of Clown Man parts on a whim is my favorite Robot Master concept

Wily's an asshole and he's literally stealing better ideas throughout the whole series, even Bass is a souped-up version of Mega Man's schematics it's why he looks like MMX1's armored X and Zero at the very end of his life is still just fudging Mega Man's homework

Say what you will about MM7 but there was some SOUL behind its easter eggs, art direction, and music

Youtube looks really weird all of a sudden

>>723891281
There's that one mad-lad that did full conversion Game Boy Color ports of all the Mega Man GB games if you're interested. Mega Man Mania is technically real twenty years after the fact.

>>723890695
The only thing I don't like about them is their abuse of the color palette. Like, pick 1 or 2 colors, man. This is obnoxious. This design philosophy continued into MM8, too.

>>723890980
>>723891160
>>723891232
It's pretty funny how once Mega Man 3 and 4 rolled around, the intro cutscenes started forcing the western artists to make Megaman look like himself on the box art.

>>723891718
it's the same jeet coding that went into discord's new bubbly shit ui a few months ago

>>723891718
I kinda like the new video player UI, mobile-inspired as it is it'll also fuck off so I can take screenshots without needing an extension.

>>723891718
dude round UIs lmao

>>723891723
I played that and got filtered by Dust man's stage in 3 again. I forgot that you absolutely postively need to save your rush coil until near the end to reach an otherwise inaccessible ladder, and I had already wasted mine earlier.

>>723885771

>first MM to truly feel completely polished
Yeah MM4 is the cheap feeling one you fucking retard.

>>723879173 (OP)
It could be, but youre not allowed to say that. Boomers here do NOT react well to being told their first installment in a franchise isnt the best.

>>723892053
4's intro and ending were both so cool. I don't mean Wily just fucking off but the way it ends with Rock back on the train again taking a ride home with the wistful music playing.

>>723879173 (OP)
I would say you're entirely mistaken.

>>723892053
It's not Battletoads, it's the same Mega Man as always, still kicking around on the lame NES while the big boys moved to the SNES.

>>723891654
I like the detail that Skull Man is the last of the MM4 line, was built specifically to kill Mega Man, and is clearly a cry for help from Cossack saying "It's Wily! It's Wily making me do this!"

>>723892232
Man, FUCK King's castle. It's pretty enjoyable before that, at least.

>>723892053
I have POWERFUL nostalgia for 3 above all others, but MM4 is underappreciated as hell.

>>723879173 (OP)
8 has the best sprite design and best music in the series. The entire game was made with pure soul

>>723890808
I love that Wily is kind of a broke motherfucker.

>>723892630
I think gameboy IV is a lot better than NES 4. It has many innovations, like permanent buster upgrades and a store. Plus the level design is a lot faster.

>>723892360
You would think Skull Man is Wily's favorite Robot Master, but he continues to have a weird fixation on Guts Man

>>723892704
I played a fangame once where you defeat Wily using "economic power". Basically the state funds Light to give Mega Man infinite E-tanks.

>>723892630
Why is Dive Man decapitated?

>>723892692
8 lacks the punchy, catchy music of the other games. It's bubbly and weird. Not bad, but definitely not "better."

>>723891716
>TFW they did the same thing for the first Mega Man arcade game

>>723892842
Nothing weird about that. Have you seen his ass?

>>723892842
Can you blame him? It's Guts Man!

>>723892937
I don't like what I see.

>>723892842
Wily's kinda surface-level and I like that about him, he's probably fixated on Guts Man because he's designed from the ground up to just be Raw Power

>>723892842
Wily is a narcissist. Of course he doesn't love a robot he didn't make more than... oh wait. He didn't make Gutsman either.

>>723891784
I wouldn't say force, it's more so that they actually knew what he was intended to look like by that point because back in the day the illustrators were only given a brief description based on the game itself and not the characters on what to draw.

Quint dominating so hard is something I did not expect, basically no one can actually aim to hit him top kek

Reading some old japanese websites. Apparently Ring Man was designed by a female fan and was supposed to be female, but the devs couldn't tell and just made her a dude.

>>723893419
It's depressing being a fan of Snakeman. He's really not built to compete with other boss patterns.

>>Gyro Man was supposed to be Jet Man, but Wily couldn't afford it.
Its really interesting that in lore wily has to budget his evil plans. Similarly this enemy is stated to not show up often due to the cost of production

>>723879308
What does 10 do better than 9, though?
Aside from the inclusion of Bass as a playable character, which was fantastic, but comparing Mega Man's campaign in both games.

>>723894307
Huh, I should watch the shorts some time.

>>723884028
if that were true he'd have posted 8 instead

Searching for the data files reveals there used to be HUGE planets in the background of Gemini Man's stage, which is why it's so empty now. Maybe it lagged the NES too much?

>>723894445
I could see people who want a more balanced game liking 10 more. 9 is like X6 if that game actually panned out - it fucks you in the ass until you learn how to fuck it right back. 9 is an unfair game, but it's unfair on both ends. 10 is a saner, safer game in comparison.

>>723894401
The way they got there was retarded, but I appreciated the comics making Mr. X a real guy who is actually funding Wily's schemes up to 6. It explains why he's able to have five+ castles built for himself, but still has someone to say "No, jet engines are too expensive. Just use propellers!"

>>723894723
Despite Mega Man 3 supposedly being space-themed, only Gemini Man's stage really took advantage of the theme. These cut planet graphics would have made it even cooler, but I understand why they cut it. The space BG is only present for the first third of the stage and MM3 is already notoriously laggy.
Top Man's stage has a hydroponics space station thing going on, which is cool, but they really ditched the idea of stages themed around their bosses here.

>>723894723
Static tiles don't lag NES games. There's a restoration hack that puts the planet back in the Doc Robot version of the stage and shows an excellent reason for it to be removed: it's fucking ugly

>>723891718
ya looks like a mobile interface. Its too big but as >>723891870 said it does fuck off quickly so despite the worse look I consider it an upgrade. Still wish it'll leave sooner when rewinding with the arrow keys

>>723894723
because mm3 was rushed to shit, none of the problems it had would happen if the game was cooked properly

>>723895271
>hydroponics

Hope Top Man wasn't banging any of those Cyborg Midwives

>>723895067
I'm not an FPS guy at all so it's likely just me but I had such a hard time with almost every boss in this game. The MM9 shark rocket especially was a nightmare.

>>723895514
It's not a game for the faint of heart, but totally worth it. Did you beat Quint?

>>723895514
The bosses in MM8BDM are just plain obnoxious, they are not balanced for someone who didn't already try and fail them 10 times already.

I want to punch whoever designed them.

>>723895568
Yeah, that fight took me many tries too but I loved it. I enjoyed the game enough that I considered getting all the trophies in that achievement room but eventually gave up because I kept dying late into that one long robot master gauntlet.

>>723879173 (OP)
Mega Man doesn’t get brought up in this video but I felt like it applies to him. 7 and 8 had personality to them and felt distinct. But when 9 came around it was back to 8-bits along with no more charging and sliding because Mega Man 2 was still the best selling at the time. This video could be a whole thread topic on its own, for when a franchise trades personality for popularity

Funnily enough Dragon Quest didn’t move to the Super Famicom until the 5th game, Mega Man getting a whopping 6 games on the NES is kinda overkill looking back.

>>723882463
>Graphics can be tiring?
If they are formulaic yeah, the NES games could be seen ROMhacks of each other but with new gameplay mechanics and slightly better graphics

>Mr. X a real guy who is actually funding Wily's schemes up to 6
I haven't read the comics, they worth reading? Also what's his motivation for funding Wily?

>>723895646
Failing dozens of times to a boss is fine if that's all you're doing, loading in the fight room every time. You're basically guaranteed victory if you spend a bit to get a grip with the attacks, so making the execution of that balls hard is fair play.

Though that's speaking from someone who hasn't sat down and played it yet. Maybe that is actually hard in 3D.

>>723895023
>I appreciated the comics making Mr. X a real guy who is actually funding Wily's schemes up to 6
I don't. That's fucking stupid.

>>723896957
MM8BDM is such a fantastic experience. I wish I could replay it for the first time again.

>>723879210
This G4 Mega Man review is nostalgic as hell and truly is reminiscent of the 2000s

This was the coolest unlockable in Mega Man Anniversary Collection... well, besides the 2 arcade exclusive games.

https://youtu.be/xdw4zquKqVg

Mega Man X is better than the Mega Man games.

>>723896957
That's not all it is though. If you ragequit... if you fail so much you have to take a break, you DON'T get to continue right there, you have to replay the stage leading up to it. FUCK that shit.

I'm fighting the MM10 copybots and it's so fucking obnoxious and unfair that I've had to drop it like 3 times for the sake of my own sanity. If I ever pick this lame fucking shit again, I'll just activate doom cheats because I just want to see the ending now.

>>723897087
Masochist.

>>723897089
>G4 Icons
wasn't ready for this nostalgia. this shit was always on G4 when i walked to my grandparents' house after school.

>>723897153
Nah. Most of the platforming in the X games is trivial.

>>723897153
MMX is unironically the best Megaman game. I'm a classic lover and I can admit that. The overall X franchise is lower in quality on average though.

>>723897612
I think by the time MMX series was shitting the bed, the main Mega Man series was also past its prime, and series was doing things like Battle Network.

>>723879173 (OP)
Only played the first Zero game years ago, should I try the rest or play the originals and then x?

>>723897153
Eh, it's a different focus entirely. The X games are more about action and not actually all that heavy on platforming. Classic is far more dependent on precise level designs whereas X is more something to crash through, though to its merit the movement is definitely several steps up.

>>723897814
You say that, but MM9 is contender for the best classic title and it came out in 2008. MM11 is also really solid. And while not my favorite, there's little wrong with 10.

>>723897875
>only played Zero 1
You only played a bad one, unfortunately. The Zero sequels all shit on that one. But if you liked the general idea of Z1 then maybe try X4, or go straight to X1. Classic series has a lot more focus on traditional platforming.

>>723883903
>X5 takes 6's suits

That got me thinking, imagine if X5 let us switch between the Falcon and Gaea Armors on the fly

>>723896197
>When Sega does what Capcom don't

>>723896872
They're alright. More interesting to read than most of the eastern manga, though Megamix is cooler pound-for-pound.

Mr. X is basically a walking spoiler, but the gist is that he uses his massive wealth to fund Wily's antics, with the end goal of instill fear of robots in humanity. Series ends right as the arc gets started, rip.

>>723886289
Sonic Advance 3 actually pulls its weight and letting you try many different character combinations offered unique ways to play the game

>>723897153
The first X game, I'd believe. The entire X series, not even remotely.

>>723887240
And they did the Doc Robot thing again in Zero 3!

>>723898152
So the x series is focused on bosses? I'd like something more platforming focus desu, I'm tired of bosses after ER + Silksong + LoP lmao

>>723899065
>I'm tired of bosses
I think the Mega Man series may not be for you.

>>723899119
That makes sense, still searching for a 2d platformer on PC to play that isn't Mario world for the third time

>>723891870
>so I can take screenshots without needing an extension.

Right click the video twice then select "copy video frame" or "save video frame as". This also works on webm's and .mp4's.

>>723896872
He's a Luddite who hates robots and wants Wily to be his "caged monster" who makes everyone see how terrible robots actually are.

I enjoyed the comics. They weren't perfect, but they were fun. The first Sonic crossover was amazing! Shame the second one was such a bloated mess....

>>723879173 (OP)

pathetic
back in the day my brother and I would leave my Nintendo on overnight and turn off the TV

do microplastics really prevent zoomers from having the mental capacity to minimize their application windows?

>>723899215
From what I heard, the second crossover was organized and forced by their director who burned through Archie's funds and then peaced out immediately after. Thinking the crossover was going to get him some clout and then golden parachute away.

>>723899434
I'm not a zoomer. And NOTHING in classic Megaman is as bullshit as MM8BDM. Not one boss. Megaman is actually on the easy side of NES games, so I don't know why they went all "Ninja Gaiden" with their FPS fan project.

>>723889628
Missed opportunity to use the Cossack family as your pic

>>723890027
A lot of people forget MM7 was developed in a very short amount of time, 3 months if I’m not mistaken.

>>723899458
Yeah, Kaminskni(IIRC) was the moron. The 2nd Crossover fucked everything up. A combination of wasted potential and a unnecessary cash grab. The only good thing is the selection of Sega & Capcom characters.

>>723890314

If you manage to get off a Noise Crusher shot upon entering Turbo Man’s boss room you can one shot him. This TAS shows it off @18:35

Yeah, the story was utter garbage. But I can never totally hate something that gave me this panel.

>>723900097
Yeah but that seems like a bug to me, not a cool little extra they intended.

>>723898932
Yeah, but at least there are new stages there.

harder games on the system doesn't make the first Megaman easy, zoom zoom

>>723899205
Try Rayman, Gex, Klonoa, or Pandemonium.

>>723879173 (OP)
It's better than 2 at the very least

>>723900679
Megaman IS easy. I beat every single game, and MM1 is the only one that made me sweat. Also, I'm older than you.

>>723897428
For me it was Ninja Warrior, then they made a shitty American version

>>723895271

no, but it is annoying

>>723902393
>best music
Best? No, but I do like it just not as a megaman soundtrack.
>cool graphics
Yes
>anime cutscenes and funny voice acting
As much joy as dr wahwee has given me I kinda wish the legacy collection had a "redubed" version (as an option) where its more professionally done because they are well animated. At least as far as ps1 fmvs go
>chill gameplay
that is until...
>fun level gimmicks like snowboarding and shmups
wily stage 1 is anything but chill or fun
>cute Roll in the shop
True
>good weapon selection with cool Rush cycle
Rush cycle sucks, bomb raid is kinda cool just to see shit get nuked.

Megaman 8 is def a low tier megaman but its not bad.

>>723902887
also playing on the anniversary collection makes it worse due to input lag

>>723902585
I don't mind that part, I mind the stupid boss afterwards that needs the Mega Ball.

>>723903874
You can angle the ball's trajectory higher by holding up.

>>723901989
...did that really happen? Man, that looks cool, too.

The way that most of them have stunning moves or grabs makes them "feel" like real bad guys, which fits with how at least some of them were locked away as the ultimate backup plan.

>>723904061
Yeah the story goes, at least for Top Man's stage, the entire level got finished only for one of the other devs to trip over a cable and ended up wiping out at least a week of progress.
Keep in mind this was during the NES era where games were typically developed in around 3-8 months. A week of devtime is like an eternity.

>>723904636
That is fucking sad. I loved MM3 as a kid, but all these stories and all the obvious in retrospect shortcomings depress the hell out of me.

Roll-chan mode for mm11 when

>>723904996
Never ever.

>>723900173
It fucking had Breath of Fire! They never get to be in the Crossovers! Also love how Rock is trying to process this bullshit

Doctor Wily feet.

>>723894751
That's a fair assessment. MM10 was definitely planned as a more accessible entry, especially with the inclusion of easy mode.

HEY MEGA MAN

YOU'RE A LITTLE LOW ON AIR

>>723879173 (OP)
3 and 7 were always my favorites, but they're also the ones I actually owned as a kid.

>>723906254
AND YOU'RE FULL OF *BEEP*

>>723890695
Literally Shademan is the only good one.

>MM2 WAS TIGHT, MM7'S SHITE! FOR REAL!
>SEE THREE WAS GOOD AND FOUR WAS PRETTY GOOD, AND FIVE AND SIX WERE OKAY, BUT SEVEN SUCKED BIG DINOSAUR BALLS!
>POW POW!

Did he do irrecoverable damage to MM7's reputation?

>>723895067
Keeping up with the newsletters of v6c has been a ride, I can't decide if I'm more exited for the new items getting introduced or all the old maps getting changes. The two MM8 ones with brand new textures look gorgeous.

>>723894751
>10 is a saner, safer game in comparison.
Try the hard mode bub and you're going to eat your words

>>723879210
Fuck, you're ancient

>>723879173 (OP)
It's worse than 8, so no.

>>723879210
put em there collectionbro

>>723879173 (OP)
I would say nothing. They’re all good games. Pick your favorite and champion it king.

>>723907543
>>723895067
These fellas ever release an official download for their soundtrack? MM8bit deathmatch has some solid bangers.

>>723908076
Yes, between 9's Superhero and 10's Hard the latter is probably worse.

>>723898932
Yeah but in Z3 it's just annoying padding.

>>723906758
Did anyone EVER care what that fag thought?

>>723910617
9's superhero mode is pretty fun, only wish it also made bosses harder

>BLUB BLOOB BLEEB BLOOB BLEE BLOO
is that aquaman stage theme?

>>723904996
im surprised 11 never got dlc. More playable character really could of helped it out. Roll, Protoman, Bass or hell would of been cool if they did something weird like King

>>723911860
am I retarded cus I dont see it

>>723882946
The funny thing about metal blade is that anyone who praises it kind of forgets how many enemies and bosses are immune to it. For that reason I just kind of play MM2 buster-only.

>>723910229
tracks made special for MM8BDM are in their Youtube playlists
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHRUdGcM9DsgOcYntorDQp6XL0fpY8x9u
most of the demade tracks for stage themes are borrowed from other creators and aren't gathered anywhere

i think most people who want them just pick them out from the pk3 (you open it in some kind of Doom editor)

Capcom should unironically buy this and release it officially

>>723913242
They did, it was called Powered Up and no one bought it

>>723913431
Yeah because it was on the PSP, aka piracy central.

>>723879308
8 is my favorite fuck you

>>723913431
Totally would of gotten it had it been on the DS

>>723894445
I dont like 9's level design. Too much insta-death. I would rather play MM&B, sure it takes cheap hits but other than ground mans stage those hits never result in instant death

>>723914136
and from what you faggots are saying sounds like you just got filtered and are mad, in controls really well and looks great if youre not a retarded faggot
i beat it when i was like 7 on ps1 ur just shit at games

>>723901041
7 probably has my favorite Wily Castle

>>723914427
>>723902919
for example how is wily 1 that bad just use your abilties ball and astro crush keep you in the air, and if you can position yourself well enough ur good just play better its one of the last stages it should be challenging if you dont know your abilties well. and if you lost to the ice stage you have shit reflexes but i didnt see anyone complain about it yet
