You cannot make me play as X.

>he'd rather play as the girl
ewww

>he wants to play as Zero
Yeah he's a reflection of your accomplishments in life: 0!!!
HA HA HA HA HA

I do both

>give no drawbacks to charging all the time
>give charging a very prominent sound effect
This is my biggest pet peeve with any entry where you can charge the blaster.

X is easily better in this game.

Unironically, X is far more balanced than Zero. Fighting bosses is far easier and more consistent. You need to carefully consider your stage order with Zero

Seen an anon say it before but I think he had a pretty good point. Would have been better had they allowed you to switch between X and Zero on the fly during the stages. I guess to start you could have chose between the two but then for the campaign you can switch between these two on the fly. So it would have been what X3 tried to implement but far better. I guess you'd lose out on the two unique stories and some characters but after you seen the story enough you just want to play the game anyways. I'd take in level swapping any day.

The only reason X is more effective than Zero (inb4 Zero's dash cancel glitch) is because the devs gave him the ultimate buster for free.

>fourth armor's cannon is obviously designed to charge four shots
>the charged shot sucks
>instead of fixing the fourth armor, devs just give you an alt cannon
>now the ultimate armor feels way less special since it's just the fourth armor with infinite giga attack
Lots of fuck ups if you ask me.

Minus gay voice

I always remember it being easier as Zero.

>>11809068
The stock-shot buster would be better if the charge shots could hit through boss i-frames, like an extra bit of chip damage that adds up per hit after the first.

>>11808980 (OP)
Zero is "kewler" but the games are built around a run and gun formula, Zero's melee based moves just never sat comfortably enough to give him an advantage.

MM has always struggled to find a way to make another playable character valid or worth it, because the game system was just so based around Mega Man skillset

for me its black armor zero. nothing personel kid

>>11811113
Isn't Bass considered the better character to play as in MM&B?

>>11812115
Not for bosses

>>11808980 (OP)
Who cares just play F-Zero X and be done with it

>>11808980 (OP)
The story of MMX shouldn't exist, it just makes X seem like a wuss. These games story is just robots who fight for human kill robot who don't. Needs nothing more

>>11808980 (OP)
God X4 was such a disappointment after the SNES trilogy.

>>11812434
what? x2 and x3 were literal downgrades, x4 brought the series back on track. its arguably better than x1.

>>11812495
Hmmmmmmm.....

>>11812115
Once MM&B get released on E-shop or NS online

>>11812495
It ... brought it back and was better than X1 by having hideous graphics, a stupid story, awful stages, and boring boss fights? How?

>>11808980 (OP)
Zerochads are reploids of culture.

This.

I played X1 when it was a new game.
"This is fucking incredible. It's like a miracle of gamecraft."
I played X2 and X3 when they were new games.
"S'alright. Decent diversions. They vary enough. Music's still really good."
I played X4 when it was a new game.
"Holy SHIT, that's what I'm talking about. Please keep going in this direction."

And then they just fucked it up after that.
I have absolutely zero idea why people shit on X4.

>>11813845
>I have absolutely zero idea why people shit on X4.
I mean they spell it out for you basically every thread, just gotta press them for a bit. Simple answer is it's not on Nintendo so it was a betrayal game.

>>11813857
>I mean they spell it out for you basically every thread
No they don't.
They do what you did just now, and nothing more.

>>11808980 (OP)
Playthroughs with Zero in this game are favorite action game ever, nothing compares and I can't think of anything alike it or that compares because the little pea shooter in the Zero series sucks dick

>>11813874
I think the zero spinoffs took the wrong direction with the focus being off of the saber. Maybe it was a control limitation but the possibility of stringing together moves for combos was always a delight in the X games, but in Zero attacking is so much less fluid and interesting.

>>11813876
screen space probably has something to do with it too, I was just so deflated knowing what could have been throughout the entire Zero series, I probably shouldn't have played them all even, it just isn't the same without my HUU HYA HUUH

The Zero series has a relatively complex and absolutely opaque combo system. Certain moves can combo into and overcome the i-frames of others, and there's a tier pyramid arrangement that naturally results in a flowchart of how to kill a boss near-instantly. There's also stuff nobody ever tells you, like firing the buster while dashing does one point more of damage than firing while standing or walking, which can be the difference between an enemy requiring a second shot or not.

The English dub. It's the absolute worst in gaming, and it's not even so bad it's good, just tepid and grating.

I want to play with Roll if you know what I mean

>>11813932
Very interesting, it's worth reassessing these games on the console versions. I haven't played it since I was a teenager.

>>11813938
There are multiple romhacks that swap Mega Man with Roll.

>>11813938
I don't know what you mean and might need a photo to understand it

>>11813934
X4 levels are also really basic compared to the previous, level design and enemy placement felt like an afterthought to the stage gimmicks and "story", I still consider it a better MM game but it has some inferiorities to the previous games, still much better than anything after too

>>11809010
Is he, really? I remember Zero could cancel his normal slash to do a rapid slash that just melts enemies and bosses alike. Of course, I'm not considering X's cheat mode.

>>11813932
>firing the buster while dashing does one point more of damage than firing while standing or walking
This is an old one though.
That was in X1.

>>11808980 (OP)
Replace this with Zero and that's my take. The only Megaman game I will ever not play Rock or X in is 10, because it feels like a rage game if you don't play as Bass.

>>11808980 (OP)
Zero is easy mode

>>11808980 (OP)
Zero is ez mode
Play X retard

>>11815337
>>11808980 (OP)
Castlevania 64?

>>11808980 (OP)
And you can't make me play as Zero! Now die!

Mega Man 8 is the superior PSX Mega Man

>>11817901
Mehh, it has more flaws than X4 to me.
