>Both versions of 5 now on the US eShop!
Anybody else been enjoying either version this past week? I went with pic related myself (had Protoman as a kid). The Souls are pretty sweet even if the Dark Chips for this version's Chaos Unisons require a bit of research to find.
>paying for roms
>not even the DS version of said roms
This isnt on the 3ds eshop why?
Why the fuck would I want to play this on a wii u?
>>320880082
They actually did a few extra things for the eShop release that I think make it worth throwing a few bucks at. Opening the multiplayer menu gives you the event/Protoman exclusive chips, and the game automatically gives you Bass Cross (though I'm not sure exactly when), which was never even made available in the US unless you hacked the game.
>>320880906
That's pretty cool
>>320880906
Too bad it's on the wii u.
And still not the DS version.
>>320882224
How much did the DS version add content-wise? I'm mostly just familiar with the voice clips that I didn't like the sound of.

Shame that 5 is probably the worst in the series sans multiplayer. And I don't think you play multiplayer on the VC can you?
>>320882846
>5 is worst
That's not 4.
5 can only be worse than 4 on an opinion-based basis, which mostly revolves around one's feelings towards Liberation Missions. On a whole, though, 5 is definitely better, especially on the DS.
>>320882846
How is 5 the worst? If anything it has some of the most interesting transformation mechanics in the series. Chaos Unison is some fun shit.
>>320882994
The mechanics are solid. But it has some of the most boring area designs and liberation missions are ass. The multiplayer is fantastic, tons of options and it probably has the most balanced chips in the series. But the single player is awful
I'd say 3 and 6 are best if you're just in it for the single player
I forgot I have Battle Network 1 and 2 on wiiu
did they release 3 and 4 too?
might buy them and marathon them allOnly ever played BN4 Blue Moon andn loved the fuck out of it
>>320883247
If you played the worst instalment in the series and loved the fuck out of it, boy are you in for a treat.
>>320883365
If I remember right I left off a little bit in 1. The Net is a terrible place in that game fuck
>>320883457
Yeah, BN1 had some problems which they beautifully ironed out by BN2, like fully restoring HP after battles, no wildcard chips, plain as fuck internet, no running without a dedicated escape chip, etc.
The custom styles in BN2 then the NaviCust in BN3, fucking miraculous.
BN4 and BN5's soul system was pretty shitty, but BN5 was salvageable by virtue of not having horrid folder building like BN4 did.
>>320879625
>new navi revealed on the boxart
>looks 1000x more badass that Protoedge
>worst doublesoul in the entire game
Why are obstacle forms always shit? You turn a perfectly good rock that does 200 HP and maintains field presence to do a meek 40-60 HP that is easy to avoid and set off involuntarily.
>>320883226
>liberation missions are ass
I will fight you.
>>320880082
That reminds me, if someone knew how to extract them, would the updated eShop versions of games be possible to rip and emulate? Because those quality of life upgrades would be nice to have instead of whatever fiddling people do to unlock them when emulating.
>>320884168
I've been interested in this for BN3 Blue Version in particular.
The MistMan chips are a bitch to get, and all the multiplayer requirements to get true 100% are a bitch when emulating.
>>320884168
They're barely even modified. Hell, BN4's eShop version only gave you one of each of the Secret Chips in each code, meaning you couldn't even make some folders that actually want to have multiple copies of said chips.

So what's everybody's favorite dark chip/unison? I'm loving the fuck out of Dark Plus for that sweet +50, especially since I already loved multi-hit chips.You can even apply it to Program Advances and completely wreck the enemy's shit.
>>320884012
>game with the best and most useful obstacle chips
>didn't have an obstacle style
I love BN3! It has multiple ways to steal area (Metagel,Area Steal), multiple ways to control area (Rook, Sensor), and multiple was to defend (Shadow, Pop Up, Drop down); everything has it's own weakness. Alot of care and attention went into balancing the gameplay, too bad Flash/Plantman/ESW were broken as shit.
>>320883471
qt3.14 wish for more artwork.
This was always my favourite thing to do in BN3.
This setup can completely fuck Alpha Omega.
>>320885243
I always enjoyed Dark Shadow. Yeah it wasn't that great but it was fun just to watch your guy fight and see what he'd do.
>>320885243
darkinvisis the correct answer to this if playing team colonel
darkcirclecompletely trivializes getting 10 second s-ranks
I also liked confronting, and defeating Bass in BN6 as early as possible.
Shit's challenging when you face him as soon as you enter the courthouse lobby.
>>320885367
>arealock

>folderback
wow such a great game
>>320885870
>dark invis is the correct answer
As much as I love watching Megaman fight for me, I'd like to stress how amazing Dark Plus is, especially with how many multi-hit chips there are. Have you ever fired an Infinite Vulcan 3 with each of its 28 shots doing 70 damage each? It's breathtaking.
>>320885596
all this stupid shit when you can just run an f coded flash man folder with eleball or a p coded plant man folder with sonic boom bullshit
>>320886309
I mean obviously yeah, people online figured out the best, amazing ways to build folders in each game.
But abusing paralysis with Virus chips was my thing, as was duping the Virus chips using multiplayer battles, I discovered that by myself.
>>320886994
Anyone here use to collect those takara tomy battle chips? I did.
>>320886994
In BN5 I used a Z-Coded Sword Folder with ProtoSoul (would've also worked with ShadowSoul if I chose the other version but would've required Lance chips)
Surprised I didn't use Dark Recovery as often as I could
>>320887067
>duping
did you find a reliable way to dupe the chips you wanted? I lamented only having one Bunny B for my Bubble/Beast/Blues Folders
it didn't mean much with FolderBack but still
>>320886028
>forcing yourself in the corner for free
>not using rockcubes or graback to maintain area
>not stealing it right back
>implying sensor was the problem
>not permastun
>10 chip custom isn't GOAT
>implying you can't have more than 10 chip custom
>playing Blue Version
I bet you complain about being <20% HP to fight Bubbleman and installling/uninstalling Press, pleb.
>>320887353
>stealing it right back
you couldn't do that if they set up rook on your last row
you were just fucked at that point
>>320887353
>installling/uninstalling Press
Not even him but making NaviCust parts required to get around and do shit made BN3 a huge pain in the ass. That plus how ridiculous it is to get anything out of Styles and I have no idea why people seem to have the biggest boner for 3.
>>320887339
You couldn't dupe whatever you felt like, but in a multiplayer battle, when the match is won, the loser turns off their system.
The winner still wins their battle chip, the loser does not lose their chip. Hence, the chip is duped.
S-ranking means better chips are won anyway, so navi chips, one of a kind virus chips, etc, can be duped.
>>320887610
>get bugstyle
>trying to farm for bugstop with all that stupid shit
>end up just running around acdc 1 for 2 or 3 hours until i got it

>>320887823
Dark license sure as fuck isn't worth it.
>>320887762
Oh, you needed to S-rank them? I guess that's why i never got that fucking Balance chip.
>>320887541
I guess you could say it wascheckmate
>>320887823
Not only is the grind ridiculous but there's no way someone without a guide is going to get any use out of it. It's set up in a way won't do jack shit for you if you don't go completely out of their way to take advantage of it (and even then takes a lot of luck because of the randomly-picked elements).
Meanwhile, I've been loving the hell out of the Soul/Unison system and figuring out attack combinations.
>>320886994
Was there ever any good reason to use these chips (outside of Chaos Unison)?
>be young
>be stupid

>never got to see any of the cool shit
>never got to see any program advance

>>320889819
I think that's part of the fun in going back. I couldn't even beat the final bosses of 3 and 5 as a kid, so getting to the end of 3 and kicking his ass was gratifying as hell.
I'm considering going back and playing Battle Network 3 again, but I literally only want to do it because of that thing where you could collect viruses on a little digital farm or whatever. Was that actually fun or was it just my childhood love of pet raising sims fucking my perception?
>>320890506
It's not even really a pet raising game. You grab them and then never interact with them except to up their damage.
>>320890734
At the very least, all you can do is feed a species of virus 100 bugfrags, learn the location of an omega virus, capture and then use it.
Getting all the omega viruses sets you back 900 bugfrags, which equates to running around ACDC-net for fucking hours.
>>320890506
It wasn't fun but Battle network 6 has a Virus Battler sidequest that culminates in you gettingSuper Vulcan
>>320883471

Why does this game make me commit sins? Among her, Skullman's op, and the Clown woman, I don't know who's the best.

They have radically different portrait and sprite art for starters.
But for another, his operations and practices in BN4 were covert, and carried a philosophy that anyone is capable of evil acts.
In BN5 he is clichéd as FUCK and is a complete edgelord.
>>320883471
Shadowman was the tits too, you also go the reporter as well and Higsby. There is no reason to prefer Protoman over Colonel.
>>320882846
4 was actually the worst anon.
I get the idea behind souls system, because it`s basically styles, minus the grinding. But all this streamlining made customizing so much less fun.
I didn`t like the PA folder restrictions after BN3 either, lifeswrd folder is just too satisfying
>>320893835
This is from the show right? What episode?
>>320887541
>not dealing 500+ with a single ESW

Nigger, do you even broken game?
>>320892116
He was pretty easy family. Just shoot away all of his clouds then when he reappears just hit him with a boomer chip
>mfw I'm probably the only person on the planet who liked liberation missions
>>320895369
You're not alone, thought that Cosmoman's liberation mission was the best. The only one that sucked ass was shademan
>>320893474
>Long ass charge
>Long ass startup animation
>120 damage
>causes flinch
I'm not saying you should use better chips, you are welcome to play as terrible as you want, but that shit is bad! You are lucky to get off 2 charge shots between custom windows.
>>320895523
I thought Cosmoman's was the worst. The focus on trap panels was really annoying.
MM threads are usually chill places to be. Also, why is Mari the best Milf?
>>320897346
Because she's the pattsun teacher.
>>320883471

Also, I stopped playing after 3 is it worth picking up the others because I loved this shit.

>>320882846
Fuck right off. BN5 is at least better than the first and fourth games in the series.
>>320899359
She is. I'm glad they brought her and Pride back from 2. The were literally the only reasons to play Colonel over Protoman.
>>320891313
>900 bugfrags, which equates to running around ACDC-net for fucking hours.
Or you could just continuously counter kill Guts Man.exe and get 10 bugfrags each fight.
>>320901501
but gutsman has several more HP than mettaurs and a canoon.
>>320902723
You can beat Guts Man in less than 30 seconds and get 10 bugfrags per fight compared to the 3 maximum bugfrags you get from Mettaurs. Trust me, the Guts Man option is a lot quicker.
>>320892702
I actually loved how for once the shitty translation makes the dark chips seem more legitimate. Sketchy descriptions like "BECOME ALMOST INVINCIBLE" are so fitting.
which one is your favorite soul so far?
>>320903750
I honestly barely used any of them besides Number Soul, for obvious reasons.
>>320903750

That doesn't really matter when you have PAs. You do use PAs, right?

Toad and Tomahawk I love making folders around those two (aquawhirl and cactiball are criminally under appreciated)
>>320903983

There are way too many chip codes you can only get randomly in this game. Grinding Green Mystery Data or chip traders shouldn't have to be a thing when setting up a folder.

I like the idea of changingthe charge attack to a chip, but it's so restrictive (only standard, non-dimming, no-element chips) that you might as well not bother.

5 is middle of the pack. Not egregiously shitty, but nothing good either. Liberation missions were neat, but the chip selection was by far the worst out of every game. Nothing had synergy, at all.
