>Name a better GBA game.
Why?

Mega Man Battle Network 3.

Golden Sun.

In b4 some assclown says Zero 4.
Strictly talking about games that are a combination of platforming action and character action fighting that isn't a port, I think it's top.

Granted, don't get me wrong, there are plenty of other games that beat it in their own ways in different categories, like Astro Boy Omega Factor, Dragon Ball Advance Adventure, Ninja Five-O, Sonic Advance 3, and a few others that are arguable, but I don't think any of them touch on the overall combination of sheer quality, customization, and action that Zero 3 does.
Like I said, it's an overall thing. In terms of individual aspects, Zero 3 is definitely not on top of any one list, I feel. However, it's damn good at having the total experience being more than a mere sum of its parts. Only thing I really dislike about it is no Chain Rod

>>319539536
Also, to rank any one game as the top GBA game is a pretty opinionated matter as you have several different genres competing, and how someone ranks those genres is going to vary even on a person-to-person basis due to sub-genres being a thing as well.

I haven't played Megaman Zero 3, but if you're saying those two games are superior to it, then I never will. Because they're just shallow beat 'em ups. I beat DBAA and the whole time I was wondering what in the fuck people liked about it.
>>
>>319540284
Play them on hard like they're meant to be played.
Not only do you die very easily, but enemies mix up their attack patterns to actually be a challenge.

Well, strictly for ABOF. DBAA I can't remember if it had a hard or not.
Also, they're better in different aspects, not on a whole.

Yeah, Hard Mode is pretty much Arcade Mode.
Almost everything one shots you, so the first thing you'll want to upgrade is Jets/Dodge to be able to fly past damage with good timing.

X1 has some of the weakest level design in the X series.

>>319547439
Not him, but regarding Zero 1, you can actually beat it pretty easily with even single slashes.
The initial saber strike in Zero 1 is overpowered, because not only can it knock bosses out of attacks, but it can even be chained faster to deal high damage because it doesn't create invuln frames like the 3rd slash finisher does.

It was nerfed in Zero 2, sadly.

who won the Kirby wars?

heard the finals were Super Star Ultra and Kirby 64.
>>
>>319547817
Also, if you don't believe me, just try fighting Harpuia with a single slash.
Every single time he tries to dive at you, Zero can knock him on his ass with a single slash and nothing more.

Contrarian hipster detected.
2 is a huge step down.
3 is comparable.
4 is fucking trash and only loved by playstationbabbies
5 is somehow even worse
6 is a nice refresher, but still carries with it too many obstructive gimmicks
7 is underrated but still not that much better than 6
8 is abysmal

I just picked up the Zero Collection for 5 bucks complete in box at a second hand shop. Was there anything changed in the ports other than the bottom screen shit?

Dreamland 3 is not better than Dreamland 2. End result is fine though.

The one you played first is best for you. Unless that was 2

No, aside from an easy mode and added lyrics to the credits to Zero 4 I think it's the same.

>>
>>319548168
>>319548339
Go play it again.
1's level design is on the weaker side, because the dash isn't built in, so they made everything before Sigma 1 have to be winnable without dashing once.
Now, that isn't to say it's shit. There's plenty of other things that are shit, like most of X3's level design and boss patterns.

you can just play through the game normally and have charged saber strike + lv2 buster charge before you're done with the first set of four missions
If you try to tell me you can't get through the first few stages without those I implore you to git gud and then try Hard Mode on for size, you don't get shit for upgrades in that and it sucks

Speaking of charge shots.
Man I gotta say, going through X4 with nothing but the buster is an exercise in challenge, surprisingly.
Zero can DPS the fuck out of everything, but X's peashooter requires charging for any real damage and even the initial shots cause invuln frames, preventing you from chaining them.
Point being, I'm honestly stunned on how useful the mid-charge shot can be. That thing has saved me more times than I care to count, and it's almost instant on top of that. I'm surprised as well on how many normal enemies can die to it in one hit. You wouldn't think it'd be useful.
>>
>>319547981
KSSU did.
>>
>>319549329

Okay, but I think you're forgetting how garbage most of the stages in the entire X series are if you think it's even close to 'some of the weakest'

I can't think of another popular series that's more uneven in quality between installments than Mega Man X
