How do I get into the Megaman series?
>>
start with 2, then play them in order

play 1 before 5
>>
>>
>>333458775
To understand you need to watch every episode of Captain N and the Game Masters. Next start with MS DOS megaman 1&3 then play X7 and Battle network 4 if you don't like those games Megaman is not for you.
>>
Start with 2.
If you liked it, move on to 3 and 4.
If you liked those, try out 1 even though it's less refined than the previously listed.
If you still want more, play 5-10 in any order. I personally recommend skipping 8 entirely, and maybe skipping 7 if you're not into SNES sprites (it's a fun game otherwise). 9 and 10 are among my favorites if you're still looking for guidance at this point.
>>
>>333458775
Just start with 1
>>
>>333458775
Start with Mega Man X4 and don't waste your time on anything else.
>>
Play 1-6, X1-X3, and then stop.

>>
>>333461043
I'm not seeing why missing out on bad games is a problem.
>>
>>333460945

Why? It's not like X where you need to keep using dash every two seconds. Literally just A and B will suffice in most cases.
>>
>>333458775
Start from metroidvania ZX on NDS, then slowly go back.
>>
>>333461018
I checked them for the first time starting with 3 because I'm a dummy. It's been good so far.
>>
>>333458775
You don't get into the Mega-Man series, the Mega-Man series gets into you.
>>
Start with one and play chronologically like a real man
Unless you're a woman then let's have casual sex
>>
>>333461491
fuck that's hot
>>
>>333458775
start with 2 or 3
>>
>>333461612
You know it baby now spread those legs I'm gonna slap your inner thighs with my heavy pendulous k nuts while I pound you from behind
>>
>>333458775
skip the shitty ones like classic, x, zero, battle network and just play Starfoce, the only good megaman series.

Pretty damn good. I can't think of many other games that have a battle system like it, so if you want something unique with customizable combat, then you'll probably enjoy it.

Usual answers are 2 or 3, but you can choose that, both are good for different reasons
>>
Play them in order. They're numbered (except Megaman&Bass, which is between 8 and 9) so it should be easy to follow.

I recommend not skipping the first one. It's definitely rough compared to 2 and beyond but it's still worth playing in my opinion, only skip if you're really having actual trouble with it and don't like it, I still have trouble beating Yellow Devil without the pause trick.
>>
>>333461762
Star force 3 lets you become even more broken if you go Rogue and have a sword dedicated folder.
My favourite combo in battle network 3 is Disco Inferno though.
>>
>>333465028
Oh, and at some point in the series check out Megaman V for the Gameboy, it's an original game in the series with original bosses (unlike the first four Gameboy games which reuse bosses from the NES games with only a couple new ones) and probably one of the best designed games in the series.

Something like that, I guess. If you were to ask me another time it'd probably be slightly different after the top three or so.

Who are your favorite bosses?

you got that really old edit of pre 2007 4chan memes for the Megaman bosses?
>>
>>333466207
Because 2 is the easiest, and therefore the best way to introduce someone to the basic mechanics of the whole classic series
>>
>>333466313
Designwise, Chargeman and Sheepman are the best for the oddness of their designs.

Gameplay-wise I really love Gravityman, though we all know the truly patrician choice is every boss fight in Rockman 4 Minus Infinity.

>>333466421
>2 is the easiest

4 is the easiest.

I only played Battle Network and Star Force, but from what I've seen of the others, all Megaman games have really easy to pick up, addictive gameplay.

>>333466313
Mine was Coldman in MM&B, Enker, Sheepman and Solarman in 10 and Wily Capsule in 7

>>
>>333466827
Nah man. 2 is definitely one of the easier ones but it still has tough sections like Quickman's stage (where either the beams section or the boss can be mitigated by Flash Stopper but not both) and Wily 1 with its fucking mandatory item usage and having to stay on a one-block platform against the boss. 4 doesn't really have any tough spots like that to my memory.

>>333466963
Okay, actually you might be right then, last time I played 2 it was the original difficulty. Playing MM2 on Normal is like playing a Touhou game on Easy though.

The true order
Ignore X1 to X3
Play:
X4 X5 X6 then X8
Move to megaman zero Z1 to Z4
And finish with.ZX and ZXA

I would recommend emulating the originals then playing the PS1 remake versions. They have a slightly altered soundtrack. it's really kickass. identical gameplay though.

It genuinely is the worst part of the overarching series by far though.

How is the Megaman x7 and onward games?

I did that years ago and it works

>>333458775
>megaman game where he has to fight all the bosses previously at the end at once


think about it.

>>333476709
Could be fun, especially if they can hurt between themselves with their weakness
>>
>>333477378
no, see, they would have different weaknesses, new skills, new weapons, and be much faster/stronger.

basically supercharged versions of their past selves, and all at once.
