About to play this bad boy for the first time? What makes it so good? I found the Mega Man games to be pretty middling, although I did enjoy the first Mega Man the most

>>11807031 (OP)
it's no masterpiece

It's one of the best video games ever made.

Total trash

Dash + charge shot + wall jump is just so satisfying, it really is amazing to control. The game is actually on an easier side, but they actually tried to make cool levels here. Lots of cool moments like the airport stage, chameleon stage alternative paths etc..

Why the fuck does the game have d-pad dash with no way to disable it when there is a whole fucking button dedicated to dash? What a pile of shit game

>>11807031 (OP)
Go into the options menu and put the dash on a trigger
Do Chill Penguin's stage first to get the dash upgrade as early as possible
Abuse dash jumping as much as possible

It's another Mega Man game. If you've ever played one, you've played that one, too

Such dogshit controls. Never understood why games have you jumping and mashing simultaneously on face buttons, just feels so incredibly awkward and you are fighting the controls the entire game.

I bound shoot to R1 for charge and R2 (10Hz turbo) for regular fire, L1 to dash, and X to jump and the game is a breeze now.

The buster does more damage if fired while dashing which I always thought was cool.

Mega Man Zero were the only Mega Man games ever worth a damn

>all these shitters ITT
Based X keeps filtering retard scrubs all these decades later

>>11807192
>turbo
>the game is a breeze now
No shit, you're cheating
You didn't beat the game

>>11807224
Nigga I'm not mashing the button like a spastic, especially when I have to constantly change buttons to jump every time. The controls are retarded, enjoy your carpal tunnel.

>>11807215
It has unlimited continues, hands out HP refills like candy, has e-tanks, you can just sprint past 95% of enemies, and the bosses are totally trivialized by the Simon Says weakness system.

The game is braindead pisseasy, the controls are just bad.

>>11807237
You're proving his point.

This game is so fucking easy. I've played 30 minutes and killed 3 bosses already with just my basic buster. Apparently has perma health upgrades and you earn a weapon even if you don't kill the boss? What a joke

>>11807192
>>11807230
Serious question: are you retarded? There's hardly much need to mash AND jump in MMX and I know this game like my 5 fingers. You sound like you're playing without charge shot. In few instances where you may want to mash (vs bullet sponge enemies), you can always use the flame thrower.
X1 is charge shot: the game, if you're not charging all the time then you're the problem, not the game.

The default controls were programmed that way because it's incredibly easy to use.
>thumb tip on Y
>lay thumb down so joint is on B
>roll thumb to the right to hit A with the side of your thumb
Always works for me, and is probably one of the most satisfying controls schemes going. Sometimes I'll double tap to dash, when I'm feeling like being cheesy and using uncharged dash-shots.

>>11807245
>you earn a weapon even if you don't kill the boss
The fuck are you talking about?

>>11807192
Dashing should be on a shoulder button, but shooting and jumping being face buttons is fine.

>>11807249
Charge shot is only good against bosses due to massive i-frames after attacks.

New players aren't going to have flamethrower

>historically acclaimed game that is still hailed as one of the greats in the 2D action genre, especially because of the controls and gameplay, is actually.... bad!
Get new material.

>>11807274
Hard Corps, Rocket Knight, Shinobi, Dynamite Headdy, Gunstar Heroes, Alien Soldier all shit on this. SNES had no good action games

>>11807274
As you can see, it's a retarded console warrior (who probably wasn't even alice when the SNES and Genesis were current) trying to start shit.

>>11807283
It was praised because it's a baby game for rerards. You get four extra fucking health bars plus you can just brute force bosses with zero effort by exploiting their weakness (as if five entire fucking health bars wasn't enough).

And if that wasn't already braindead enough, you get permanent HP upgrades and massively broken armor upgrades.

The game is a fucking joke. A far cry bastardization of the original Mega Man.

>>11807283
Probably auster. Why does nintendo attract so many awful fanbase, but an even WORSE anti-fanbase/hatedom? They are always the most schizophrenic (most of the infamous schizos from /v/ like manlet tears, ruggarell, quentin, etc all dedicated their life 24/7 to fight the nintendo fanbase

>>11807031 (OP)
>What makes it so good?
Why don't you play it and fucking find out?

>>11807272
Dude you ARE fucking retarded.
Charge shot is pretty OP in this game, it's huge and one shots most enemies. Even when it doesn't (see: bullet sponge enemies), you still do enough damage to finish them off by mashing.
This is THE reason X1 is so easy. Anything in your way gets demolished by charge shot. No wonder you keep crying about mashing while jumping.
>new players
It's fairly convenient to go to Flame Mammoth after Chill Penguin. Regardless, you don't encounter bullet sponge enemies that often (turtle mech, rocket mech).

>>11807331
Charge shot works if you don't want to mash like a spastic, but autofire has way higher and more consistent dps.

The stages are totally throwaway anyways, the bosses are all that matters and they are stronger to compensate against autofire.

But all of these is irrelevant when the game gives you 10 healthbars and lets you basically oneshot bosses with their weakness. It's just another shitty RPG posing as an action game.

Mega Man Zero series was the only one that somewhat managed to get the balance down and neutered the Simon Says shit somewhat, but you still have the gay elf grinding system.

>>11807272
>Charge shot is only good against bosses
Until you get the Buster upgrade, then it's even more useless because the i-frames absorb all the separate shots of the double helix.

>>11807343
>autofire
Post discarded.

This game is just so easy, mindless, and unbalanced that it's pretty lame. Already beat 6 robot masters in under an hour. It has like zero challenge, balance, or replay value, the stages feel totally disposable, the weapons feel underbaked and underutilized. Just such a mindless game.

>>11807384
Post a video of yourself playing (with proof that it's you) do a no-damage run.

>>11807384
What do you consider to be a good game?

>>11807741
It's futile asking this question to shitposters, they will just name some other good games and try to create a "series VS series" shitposting. It's probably also this console-warring poser: >>11807281
The best course of action for shitposters who claim "[popular game] is too easy!" Is to ask them to upload a video proof of them being good at the game. They NEVER do. Because they can't.

>>11807754
Dude what? I said Shinobi 3 was piss-easy (which it is) then uploaded an Expert No Death Clear.

>>11807730
>you think Sesame Street is easy? Well post the WR speedrun then! HAH!

>>11807031 (OP)
it's kinda booty ngl

>>11807192
>turbo
you didn't beat the game.

>>11807792
Is Sesame Street considered one of the best 2D action games of all time? No? Ahhh, thought so.
Come one little shitposter. Post your gameplay. Show us how you can breeze through this baby game!

>>11807730
>oh you think this game is easy? well prove you can do an arbitrary self-imposed challenge that's much harder
you're retarded

>>11807813
Alright alright, don't do the no damage thing (though I thought you said the game was too easy? What's the problem?)
Just post a normal playthrough. Let's see your moves. i bet you are a great player! (Sarcasm, just in case)

>>11807816
I'm not even that guy. I'm just pointing out that you're retarded.

>>11807818
Again, if someone claims a game is too east, a no damage run is a reasonable request from skeptics.

>>11807820
thar's retarded. you're retarded.

>>11807826
>lalalal i can't hear youuuu what? that I prove that I'm good at the ga-what? lalalal

>>11807832
>if you think a game is too easy to beat in a dev-intended manner you are necessarily able to do an arbitrary self-imposed challenge which is far harder
you're retarded.

>>11807820
The game is easy because it gives you over 10 health bars, unlimited continues, permanent health upgrades, and weapon weaknesses trivialize bosses. It's just not a challenging, fun, or engaging game. Putting stupid self-imposed limitations on some shitty mindless RPG grindy game doesn't improve it.

Any game in existence is hard if you set enough nonsense restrictions and qualifiers. Imagine if Call of Duty only had recruit difficulty and some retard replied "HURR DURR JUST BEAT WHOLE GAME NO DAMAGE!!! THERE NOW IT'S HARD!!"

It's lazy game design and retards love it because it's designed for babies.

>>11807850
>designed for babies.
Then do a no damage run.
It's not considered an easy game overall, or at least not baby-easy. If it is to you, then you must be a great skiller player!...... Right? lmao
>>11807847
If you claim a game is TOO easy then yeah people will ask you about your skills.
>noooo you can't! You're uhhh... Rerarded!
Your projection is amusing.

>stop liking this game that has always been praised! please!!
Nope.

>>11807856
>oh you think you're good at basketball? beat an NBA player one-on-one in a shutout then.
you're retarded.

>>11807856
>you think making a hot pocket is hard?
>make 20,000 hot pockets in an hour if you're so good!
Nigga, you are retarded. Just stop.

>>11807856
>oh you think you can run fast huh? well amputate one leg and then run fast if you're so good at it!
you are retarded.

>>11807862
>>11807868
Nobody is asking for you to become the top MMX speedrunner, just a no damage run. If you claim the game is not only easy, but even baby easy, then? What's the issue with a no damage run?
Oh, right, you aren't good at video games, just a shitposter. Silly me.

>>11807862
>>11807871
broken bot

>>11807872
>you don't even need to make 20,000 hot pockets, just 15,000!
Again, you are a retarded attention whore. Kill yourself.

>>11807872
Post your clears shitter

>>11807880
lmao
>It's a total braindead easy game!
>what? no! I can't do a reasonably normal challenge on this game! Nooooo you are retarded nooooo

>>11807883
I'm not the one claiming a game is baby easy. Be my guest, make the game your bitch and I will stop making fun of you for being a shitposter that posts more than he plays.

>>11807872
Do you even play Mega Man X? Even the WR speedruns take damage numerous times

Just fuck off you retarded poser faggot. If you have to put such ridiculous qualifiers to make it difficult, it's a shit game

>>11807885
>reasonably normal challenge
Just kill yourself shitposting retard subhuman. Last (You) your shitty bait is getting from me, attention whore.

>>11807891
I'm not saying that the game "needs" anything.
Here's the logic path:
1. You claim this game is not just easy, but waaaayyyy too wasy. Are we clear on thar? Right.
2. Then if a game is THAT much easy to you, what's the problem with a challenge? Shouldn't be any.
3. You will never post any video of yourself playing a video game, because you don't do that period. You just shitpost.

>>11807885
>no-hit run
>reasonably normal
you're retarded

>>11807896
>man saying my ABCs is so eaay
>oh you think that's sooooo easy then huh??? Say them 30 times backwards in a minute, or shut the fuck up!
kill yourself moron

>>11807896
>if a game is THAT much easy to you
kill yourself ESL

With winx club reboot coming. What great way develop a fan games with Megaman X engine.

>>11807896
Imagine making this much of a dumbass of yourself just because you're butthurt that someone else called the baby game that you struggled with easy. Fucking lmao

>>11807908
I know nobody here is going to post any video. I'm just letting you know that you're a typical "good game actually... bad!" run of the mill /v/-tier shitposter.
Keep shitposting my non-playing guy.

The slow-down in Armored Armadillo's stage can be so much fun.

It's so fucking lame that the intended way to kill Sigma phase 1 is to just have him repeat the same predictable cycle over and over while you chip away at him, because 2/3 of his attacks are countered by just being in the upper half of the room

Literally just climb, jump down, hit him twice, repeat

>>11807878
>ESL

Ok just beat it. Final boss is really underwhelming. I think it's stupid how he has such a simple pattern but just ridiculous levels of damage so you can barely even register the fight starts before he nukes you. But once you get the moveset down, it's a total breeze. His pet is actually the hardest, but ice shreds him in like 10 seconds so he barely has time to do much. Phase 2 is a total joke, never even got hit once. Then final phase is really easy aside from the lightning balls; not really sure what the strat is for that because timing a dash between them is extremely precise, but it doesn't even matter because he only uses it a few times through the course of the fight and everything else is easily avoided.

Overall 6/10, better than classic Mega Man besides 1, not as good as the Mega Man Zero games.

Also it's absolutely retarded the game gives you passwords between Sigma levels but doesn't save your progress. I was on the final boss and reset to refill sub tanks without having to farm, just to see I had to redo the whole damn thing even when using latest password. Also the farming sub tanks and ammo before the final boss almost takes longer than the fight itself, even with the boomerang trick, never could stand that shit.

I used two sub tanks, body armor, and found like 3 heart pieces. Not sure how much you're supposed to find or what the game is balanced around, but your power level with all or most items is just stupid strong, especially since the Sigma and spider fights are the only remotely hard fights in the game where you actually have to do something other than stand there and spam the boss weakness.

It's pretty much a perfect game. The music, the controls, the story. The only bad thing about MMX is that it is the pinnacle of the MMX sub-franchise and therefore it's only downhill from there.

>>11807281
>SNES had no good action games

snes has its own rocket knight sequel
also...hagane and run saber

>>11809490
>The only bad thing about MMX is that it is the pinnacle of the MMX sub-franchise and therefore it's only downhill from there.

>>11809725
unironically yes
my mistakes barely have consequences in real life. why should I be punished more harshly in a digital toy?

>>11809729
It's a video game, there are no real stakes. You're afraid of the concept of failure even when failing means nothing.

>>11807031 (OP)
About to play this for the first time. What will I think?

>>11809732
who's afraid? its just a pain in the ass is all

>>11809736
you will enjoy yourself but you will feel it's overrated.
later in the evening, you'll get horny, and beat off to your usual choice of boner material.

>>11807172
If you use dash in the game you didn't beat the game. The fact dash is found in one of the stages means that the stages were designed to be completed without usage of dash.

>>11807031 (OP)
It's unfocused

>>11810112
The upgrade is unmissable, you have to have it for the Sigma stages at least

>>11807209
MMZ is tiresome, slow, full of dumb shit (story and dialogue), and gay shit (pokemon collectibles)

>>11810130
More like Smegma stages...

>>11807031 (OP)
Music is sick. It is just Mega Man with a new coat of paint though. I loved most of the series so I still think it's great. For me Mega Man 2 was my favorite since you mentioned 1.
