I just beat all four games. Why the fuck were they so hard holy shit
Also
3 = 4 > 2 > 1
The Zero games are the best in the series.
>>332423792
Megaman games are the dark souls of Action Platformers
>>332423792
>Z-Knuckle
That thing was fucking sweet
It really is a matter of gitting gud, shit is so satisfying when you nail your technique and get those A or S-ranks.
I did a full run of Zero Collection making sure to reset if I didn't get A or S-rank, and had so much more fun for it.
No consumable elves either. This made Zero 1 complete agony towards the end because minimum health no sub-tanks
>>332423792
They're not hard. 2 is only challenging.
2>3>1>4
All solid games.
>>332424001
I'm sure you meant:
>Zero games are the Dark Souls of Mega Man games
>>332424129
They're as hard as you want to do well.
Use every Elf you find and you'll get through the game, but you'll miss out on the sweet rewards for A-rankking.
Did anybody actually play Easy Scenario? That thing's broken as fuck, the power level of Zero is completely insane.
>>332423792
I've only played 1 and 4, I should get to playing 2 and 3 at some point.
>>332424367
On what, MM4?
I mean giving you a high-level cyber elf from the start does make you pretty strong and hard to stop, but you also can't work towards the higher levels.
>>332424272
I use to think that until I realized how easy Zero 1 was.
>Using elves.
3 > 2 > 4 = 1
Am I the only one that considers the boss battle themes in MM games to be the most important factor in the game's music?
I mean Zero 2 has probably the best stage themes in the entire Z series but the boss theme is absolute garbage to the overall experience feels worse than 3.
>>332424064
This. Apart from some of the retarded stages in the first game where you literally had to grind enemies to get max score on enemies killed, S ranking everything feels fucking good. That moment when you finally perfect a tough boss or bullshit stage is honestly the most satisfying experience I've had in any video game. The game controls so damn smoothly that you really have no one but yourself to blame if you can't git gud and when you finally do git gud, you know you've fucking earned it.
>>332423792
it's 3 > 2 > 4 >1, and i'm happy for you, it's the best in the franchise
What makes MMZ3 so great?
>>332425012
You get double jump as a mandatory upgrade.
>>332424761
>Pogoing enemies with the rod.
>Leveling up easily as you go through.
After those now I'm the type of guy eager for non traditional weapons in games.
>>332423792
Why does Zero look like a girl? His MMX artstyle looked better.
>>332425012
It strikes the balance of difficulty, skill and earned progression that Zero 1 attempted, it did away with the weapon levelling entirely and gave you Satellite Elves, and numerous beneficial upgrades for mobility and combat.
You also get cyberspace areas which were basically easy paths, because whilst in them you enjoyed the full effect of your cyber elves without consuming them. You still get a mission penalty for going in there though.
>>332425012
it's the pinnacle of the franchise gameplay wise
hard, story relevant, good music, GOAT moments
>>332425012
The final boss.

Copy X
The rod's jump attack
The plot
Anyone know why Phantom got btfo in MMZ1 unlike the other guardians? Why did he have to kill himself?
>>332423792
but op the correct ranking is 2>1>3=4
>>332425636
He was willing to.
And hey at least he's in MMZ3.
>>332425636
Variety matters. That was a really nice detail, a boss dying causing you damage trying to take you with him. Also adding the plot; all four guardians are defeated differently.
He pull it off the first time I beat him...
