What was the best weapon and why was it the Flash Bomb, followed by Tornado Hold?
CRUSH EVERYONE HA HA
>>343027891
Clown, Search, and Swordman were all fan designs.
They gave them a skeleton and told them to design around that. The credits actually show a lot of the shit they turned down.

Blew my mind.
>>343028279
I was legit worried coming off of 7 because I wasn't much of a fan of the giant sprites and the similarities to X4-6 were also a turn off.
>>343028190
Jump jump slide slide was the bane of my fucking existence as a kid.
That and that circular red guy with the green gems from...X6(?) are true vidya PTSD.

>>343028563
Wait, people hated Megaman 8? How the fuck?
>>343028268
The entirety of the MM8 soundtrack is amazing really.
also where do people stand on the PS1 megaman games? I thought 8 and X4 caught a lot of shit for years but they seem to catch some fair praise here. Plus Legends has a solid cult following.
Anyone who did not start with Tengu Man was objectively wrong
>mfw years later we find out Frostman had brain damage
We all said he sounded retarded for years, and we did nothing about it.
Poor guy, RIP.
Can we all agree the designs in 8 were bretty gud?
>>343028679
Acquire the Homing Missile first, his fight becomes a fucking joke
>>343028763
I would usually start out with Tengu Man or Grenade Man.
>>343028702
Legends and Legends 2 are top tier games in general.
The first predated OoT and had some revolutionary stuff going for it at the time and has aged fairly well.
>>343028096
>>343028035
>Kid, you're almost not worth the effort!
Tengu Man had some good trash talk
>>343028832
Hideki Ishikawa in general is a fantastic artist and if you ask me, drew Classic Mega Man the best.
I really liked megaman 8 except for fucking frost mans stage. That board segment pissed me the fuck off.
>>343028647
Exactly. That and the slow walk speed and weird walk clinging physics brought done X4-6 in my eyes. I've since come around to enjoy X4 and 5, but those three simply pale to their predecessors. As far as I'm concerned X3 is followed up by the Zero series.

>>343029102
His VA was shit, but goddamn, dat battle yell.
>>343029024JUMP! JUMP!SLIDE! SLIDE!
And for fuck's sake, THE FUCKING PENGUINS
Nobody fucking liked Frost Man's stage. It made fighting him as a kid even more intense because I would always get to him with only one or two lives left and I thought "if I lose I'm gonna have to redo that shit again"
Also, did anyone else instantly default to Flash Bomb when you absolutely want something dead? I remember not even knowing what worked well on the boss as a kid, but using Flash Bomb anyway because I thought it did the most damage and I just wanted Frost Man dead
Same thing with Duo. I'd go "Holy shit this guy is wrecking me" and spam flash bomb because I thought it was the only way to take him down before getting destroyed
Objectively the gayest Mega Man character ever created.
Contender for gayest character of the era and probably top 20 gayest in video games.
He literally creates a rainbow and strikes a pose to taunt you.
>>343028563
I don't hate MM8, it's a fun platformer. I just think it has a lot of gimmicks in its stages that make it feel like it's not much of a Mega Man game at all.
I mean shit, MM8 has more autoscrollers than the rest of the Classic series combined.
>>343029269
Tru but dat animation doh.

>>343028891
I didn't know Legends was that old, the game is a personal favorite of mine. I really feel like it doesn't get the respect it deserves, it has a fairly niche following all things considered. Plus the Bunnyhop video on MML1 irked me hard, more so when he criticized circle strafing combat and never mentioned the interconnected dungeons.
>>343029070
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGq0X2cjWpg
Probably the two best themes, shit's chill~
>>343028647
Those auto scrolling parts were fucked. If you stood still at the back of the scrolling segment and didn't hold forward on jumps you'd fall and die. You had to hold forward on every jump and then hold back to make sure you still had space for the jumps coming up. Plus they were lengthy segments with no checkpoints in them.
>>343029847
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGq0X2cjWpg
Jesus fuck anon, you just sent some nostalgia down my spine
Thinking back, going by how intense that level got, it wasn't fair that the music was this chill.
>>343029120
That IS the canon design, whether butthurt Smashfags like it or not.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAaI5cp15sAgood luck megaman
>>343030052
I actually wanted his megaman 8 design instead of the one we have now.
I wanted to fuck that clown.

>>343028563
Pretty much this. It wasn't my first but I fucking loved it as a kid and it fucked me up to discover it's held in such low regard.
>>343030701
There's like 50 different Megaman games, As much as I love the series it's fine for it to stop.
>>343030437
What exactly is so different in MM8 from the rest of the series?
I'm not very familiar with the rest of the classic series, hard to get a hold off as a kid where I grew up, and then I ended up going straigth to X and the Zero series
If I emulate the classics what should I expect to be different?
did you guys liked that 8bit remix those asian guys did for megaman 7 and 8?
>>343028702
I love pretty much all the PS1 Megaman games aside from X6. Legends 1 and Megaman 8 being my particular favorites.
MM8's soundtrack pretty much exemplifies everything I love about game music from that era. It fucking sucks that all of these modern throwbacks are so focused on copying the NES era and Megaman X that none of them go for that chill as fuck style.
>>343031553
>Zero in that picture
Why didn't they just put X from MMZero? seems kinda odd that being the only incarnation of Zero there.

>>343032692
Doesn't Megaman have a cartoon coming out?
And I am almost certain that Capcom was recently polling for interest in new games.

Capcom of America is getting the ball rolling, but CoJ has to pull the trigger on a game. Even if the show takes off, CoJ are spiteful pricks that want to bury good ol Rockman.
This is mostly conjecture, but I'll still believe a new game when I see it.

nm fuck my theory. zero should be there too.
>>343031553
>>343034083
It's just the primary protags of each series. Zero would be weird to have next to MMZ Zero.
>>343028523
I always hoped they'd do robot masters based on some of the navis that weren't based on robot masters.
Gateman, Numberman, Planetman, Laserman, Elementman, etc...
>>343028379
Is Grenade man chilean?
>>343034274
Wouldn't Gateman already be represented by MMX6's Gate?
>>343033983
>but I don't know the Tiesel-like in the background.
Nigga what. That's Omega-Xis, a wireless signal alien who fuses with Geo Stellar to make Shooting Star Megaman.
>>343034415
No, I'd say he has quite a temper.
Oh, hello there.
I am the best interpretation of mega man ever created.
>>343034439
I don't think anything in the MMBN universe, aside from the Zero Virus and Iris/Colonel, is based on X Series characters. And I really don't see any real overlap between Gateman.EXE and Gate.
>>343028035
They sucked and MM8 is complete garbage.
>>343034848
Well, Zero, Iris and Colonel proved it isn't off-limits. Besides, I wouldn't really say Glyde.EXE had much to do with Glyde.
>nobody ever talks about Searchman
>>343028679
>Wait, people hated Megaman 8? How the fuck?
Easy as fuck, garbage boss designs, shit weapons, shit auto-scrolling stages, slow, completely unremarkable soundtrack. A lot of the same problems the PSX X games have really.
>>343035101
I somewhat like the design, but I hate everything else about his level, his music, his weapon... all terrible.
>>343035101
Best music imho
>>343035134
This. You also forgot garbage voice acting, stupid plot about evil energy from space? What is this out of the blue? And ugly color palette. I'm shocked someone could be oblivious to MM8's hate.
>Wily's snowboarding stage

>Megaman 8 was the first megaman I ever played.
You know that makes you biased as fuck, right? I'm guessing you didn't even get a hold of the others til years later? Nostalgia for the PS era isn't really letting you evaluate the games as evenly as if you had played them in order.
>>343035207

I just feel like if Gateman.EXE was meant to be a take on Gate, then he'd have just been Gate.EXE, like with Glyde/Glyde.EXE. Yaito is also from Legends.
>>343035516
why did you post a brick wall?
There's someone samefag hating MM8 hard.
>>343035545
I hate the majority of MM8's bubbly music. It doesn't leave a very good lasting impression.
>>343035395
JUMP JUMP
SLIDE SLIDE
DIE DIE
CRY CRY
>>343035545
The weird random-ish tones sound at home in EXE's soundtrack, just not in Megaman Classic.
>>343033626
Not particularly fun but some of the CPS2 remakes of the music is pretty good, especially Gyro Man's.
>>343035613
I kinda doubt it. MM7 and 8 have long taken flakk as poor examples of the series. I'm inclined to agree, although I tend to reserve my actual hate for 7.
Also Rockman & Forte is a better game than 8.
MMV is a batter game than 8.
I need more of the Stardroids in my life.
Fuck, I wish they'd done EXE versions of the Stardroids to go with Duo in the BN games...
>>343035613
>Around 90 posts of calm discussion about the good points of the game
>Suddenly every other post is calling it shit
Yeah that's a samefag.
>>343035607
Just setting some ambiance.
>>343036012
A circlejerk doesn't last forever, anon. Most people who started on the NES games probably resent how bizarre and different MM8 is.
>people say Megaman 8 was easymodo
>never managed to fully beat it
I-i was pretty good at Zero and ZX though, I should be able to handle the rest of the classic series.
Right?
>>343036116
MM1 is harder than anything, IMO. Energy tanks weren't invented yet, the boss rush was especially brutal (I don't think it checkpoints after every one, and you can't pick the order) and the enemy placement is more of a dickpunch than most games.
>>343035542
Megaman X and X 2 were some of my favorite games ever as a kid and I fucking loved 8.
>>343036075
>A circlejerk doesn't last forever, anon
And the odds that so many people who don't like the game come in at the exact same time after so long is a pretty damn long shot.
>>343036116
>>343036270
I dont know guys but i consider Megaman&Bass the hardest megaman game
>>343035389
>out of the blue
oh, i get it
>>343036391
The King Stages are definitely one of the biggest thorns in my side over the course of the entire series. Seriously, fuck that shit.
>>343036387
I also don't like MM8 as much as the rest of the classic series. I still like it, since I love all MM classic games, but it's my least favorite by far.
Does this make me a samefag too? You seem to be the expert.
>>343036387
I've been in this thread for a while and I tried to hold my tongue because anons were enjoying themselves, but yeah. I don't like MM8 much at all. I never once tried to pass myself off as multiple people though.
>>343036391
MM1 is hard mainly becaue it's a poorly designed piece of shit with X6 levels of terrible stage design and the sliding and shitting controls and whatnot make the game borderline unplayable.
So am I in the minority in saying MM&B is fantastic and one of my favorites?
>looks great
>good soundtrack
>good robot masters and fights even if two are repeats of robot masters in 8
>actually somewhat difficult moments
I've played through it three times and loved it.All three playthroughes were with mega man too.
>
>>343037021
I gotta agree. I tried to play it again after marathoning the others just a few days ago and it's really not worth the time. Too many cheap deaths. Too slidey controls.
>>343037160
It has the best boss weapons. Really, the only problem is that the fortress stages are some romhack shit.
>>343037205
I just play Powered Up if I feel the itch for the original bosses.
>>343037160
I like MMNB, and I think it's a solid improvement over just about every aspect of 8, but I hate certain parts more than I hate anything else in the classic series.
>Dynamo Man healing himself so fast Bass can hardly overpower him
>the ridiculous King stage bosses
>the hitflashes don't compensate for Bass, so he just has to deal with invulnerability frames despite his rapidfire low-damage weapon
Probably other stuff I'm forgetting.
>>343037021
1 isn't that hard though? Only honestly difficult part is the yellow devil, he's basically the epitome of casual filter. Now buster only, that is a different story.
>elec man buster only
>fire man buster
>fucking yellow devil buster only
>buster does ONE bar of damage
Only NES mega man I can't buster only.
>>343037160
See if you feel the same way after trying to do Bass' route. Megaman's support friends like Beat really elevate him in everything except platforming segments with Bass' double jump. He has a disadvantage in everything else, and it's maddening as fuck.
>>343037485
I'd say the low damage Bass does on bosses compensates for his ridiculous movement options. I mean, being able to double jump out of a dash outright breaks the platforming.
Additionally I find Dynamo Man kind of easier to deal with as Bass, because he can just shoot the healing things from the ground level unlike Mega Man who has to rely more on the weakness weapon.
>>343037485
As I said I have only done mega man playthroughes. I hear for bass levels are easier but boss fights are much tougher. Does bass take more damage? I know he has the double jump and weak shot in eight directions.
Best robot master from that game, such a cool design.
>>343037965
Burnerman is fucking rad.
>>343037912
Maybe the extra maneuverability is hindered by the GBA's small screen, because that's the way I played it.
>>343037726
Bass mode is way easier though, at least that's how I always felt. Double jump is stupidly safe and makes a lot situations where you would die as mega man avoidable.
>>343037646
Don't lie. You can't buster-only MM2.
>>343037965
Bass' buster does one point of damage before the boss goes into hit invulnerable flashing state. However, he can buy upgrades from the shop after a few bosses that turns his damage output into a monster, even beating Mega Man because no need for charging shots.
>>343038071
I've only ever played the SNES version, I wouldn't know about the GBA one.
>>343038172
In the stages, absolutely. But you probably aren't going to die a lot in the stages as Megaman anyways.
>>343038071
The GBA fucks the entire experience of MM&B.
Go grab a translated ROM of Rockman & Forte instead and play it the way it's supposed to be.
>>343038287
I think I'll do just that.
>>343038192
You know what I meant, obviously for him and the goo beam wall boss you need sub weapons but for everything else I have beaten with the buster only. Quick man and crash man are the hardest bosses in my opinion in buster only runs of 2.
>>343034415
According to the map on the select screen, his stage must take place somewhere on the south of Chile Not sure if this makes Grenade Man himself chilean or not.I like to think it does because I've never seen a chilean character in a videogame
>>343037965
>Fighting Burner Man as Mega Man
Frustrating as fucking hell, I've never been so pissed off at a boss before other than King phase 3.
>>343038287
Huh, now I have to give it another shot too. I didn't know this.
>>343038375
Pretty much. I tried to buster Crashman, but he aims so high on your sprite with that damn bomb, makes vaulting over it a real pain.
>>343038482
Even his weakness is pretty finnicky to use since he is vulnerable to it only during specific moments of his pattern.
He's kind of an annoying boss all around.
>>343037646
fireman is the easiest boss, he only attacks when you attack
>>343038362
You should, playing the original snes version is a much more enjoyable experience. I honestly feel that the only reason mm&b was ported to gba was capcom wanted to have a classic mega man on the gba and realized they can just port mm&b since "those dumbass americans never got this, they'll eat this up". The gba version has a hilarious translation though.
>>343038628
And he may not be that hard, but I really hate that you are pretty much forced to tank hits with Airman. That's pretty shitty. Thankfully his health falls pretty fast.
>>343038729
When I was younger I had the option choosing between MMZ2 and MM&B. Went with former, even though the cover art looked like this in the PAL release.
>>343028035
Much better than the MM7 designs.
You can tell they were still in a Megaman X phase
>>343027608
>>343031032
>>343033927
>His only clothe is that skinsuit and nothing is covering his butt and crotch.
He's asking for it.
>>343030052
what's different? Without looking it up that's what he looks like in my mind, from cover/manual/cutscene/MvC art and all
Unless you mean the more nes-game dimensions
>>343038970
Yeah PAL really got fucked in terms of their zero 2 and zero 3 boxart.
Am I the only one that got worse and worse at Mega Man games? I have no idea how I beat all 4 Zero games as a kid with ease. It's hard as balls now that I'm revisiting them now.
>>343039049
Cherry picking, anon.
Compare shit like Astroman.
>>343028679
Covered in ugly multicolor greebles like a child was handed a watercolor set and tried to make the most out of all of it.
Actually both MM7 and 8 suffer from that.
>>343037021
>borderline unplayable
maybe you're just bad then? are you just unable to adapt?
I regularly 100% X6 but wont dare touch X5 because it's an easy piece of shit
>>343039161
X8 and Command Mission were also hurt in the process, unfortunately. X7 too, but who cares.
Luckily those Mega Man Central people have been driven out long ago.
>>343033169

I like Astroman. He looks silly in a good way.
>Cherrypicking
Nah, most of the MM7 masters look pretty bad.
>>343030052
wait, what?
what the fuck is there even to oppose? it's objectively, and obviously, the canon design
also what's the difference between that and smash's
>>343030052
Why would Smashfags be butthurt about anything? They got what they got. I've never seen them try to convince Megaman fans that's what he looks like in his own series.
>>343039459
Freeze Man looks great, shut yer trap.
>>343039217
Whenever a new game approached I tended to replay the previous ones, so my skill level was primed to normal. Jumping into Zero without doing that is jarring.
>>343039116
Smash Mega has a stockier torso and some additional line details were added which changes my impression of the character. Also a squary head. I like it a lot though. Cool reimagining.
>>343039459
OK, now you lost me. Because you picked one of the best looking MM7 robot masters, and frankly he's a million times better than anything in 8. Except maybe Grenade man.
>>343039459
Hey now, I like Freezeman's design a lot.
>>343039379
>if the cartoon is successful
Shit is going to bomb. Aimed at kids ages 6-9, unfortunately I can't imagine kids that age caring about mega man and actual fans won't even watch as its obviously not meant for them and couldn't even be good to them.
>>343039459
Whoa now, Freeze Man was pretty rad.
>>343039459
what the fuck
he looks like a south park character inside of an ugly poorly designed robot
>>343039459
Freeze man is probably the best design in 7, pick a generic design like cloud man ateast.
>>343031987
Or Vent/Aile's older incarnation, using the young ones just seems off.
>>343038970
>That cross-eyed Zero on 3's cover
What the fuck was going on at Capcom Europe at the time for them to think this shit was acceptable? Even Battle Network and X weren't safe.
>>343030701
mm8 looked fantastic, but something just feels right about classic megaman being 8-bit.
>>343039685
>he looks like a south park character
You're going to have to point this out to me, because I'm not seeing it.

I think they should do exactly one in a SNES 16-bit style. But no more. They can do more games, but figure out how to do it now.
I honestly wished that Megaman 8 could have been the continuation design for the next upcoming games. Not that disgusting 8-bit shit.
I wonder if Megaman 8 would get sold on the handhelds. I know I would buy it in a heart beat.
It sucks that MM7 and MM8 are so goddamn slow. It was probably to contrast with the X series, but goddamn.
I didn't mind it as much in MM7, but MM8 just feels so boring and gimmicky. R&F is probably my favorite of the modern classic Mega Man games.
>>343040359
>Not that disgusting 8-bit shit.
I'm sorry, but you're not a Megaman fan if you only liked 8.
>>343039049
Shit, 7 felt like it was trying to copy Megaman X's tone
>Bass in general
>Megaman actually considered killing Wily
>Dat opening
>The boss battle theme sounded slightly threatening
There is nothing wrong with X6
>>343040359
8-bit was how everyone knew him and it was cheaper, win win situation for capcom. I agree with you though.
>>343040627
>Megaman actually considered killing Wily
That line was actually added in by the localization crew.
>>343040432
Listen I love the older entries but shit was suppose to be progressing in terms of visuals and a lot of stuff. And it was.
Lo and behold the last fucking entries were the 8-bit designs again complete with all the glitches of the old games.
Can you honestly say that you don't want to see 9 and 10 in 8's artstyle or even something better?
>>343040627
>>343040736
In the original when wily says mega man can't kill him because he's a robot all mega man says is "..........".
The "I am more then a robot, die wily!" was added in the US release.
As corny as it sounds I actually like the "I am more then a robot" part but the "die wily!" is stupid.
>>343040736
I know about that, but he actually did raise his Buster towards Wily in the Jap version and backed off after Wily pulled that Law of Robotics shit on him.
>>343040853
Yes, I honestly loved that MM9 was a return to form of the Megaman I knew growing up. His NES form is iconic. Higher res sprites don't change anything except distract the designers from making the controls tight.
>complete with all the glitches of the old games.
What glitches?
>>343040853
Not him, but I think the reason why 9 and 10 were so good was because the artstyle is so strongly associated with the classic gameplay. By upping design and resolution, by necessity you make a new type of mega man game like 7 or 8. The artstyle affects the gameplay in that instance. Sure you can make a mega man game with high rez sprites, but plays like classic mechanically. But something with definently feel off. The physics would need to be tweaked.
trust me anons, if you think x6 was bad, you should know that things were a lot harder in the development phases.
X5 was too easy so when X6 came around they were pulling out all the stops, but it got too hard and were told to tone shit down
webm related, fuck sheldon in the dev builds
>>343039826
>>343040238
The European covers for Mega Man games were handled by Mega Man Central at the time, which was some kind of a separate branch of Capcom Europe that specifically handled the series' games here. In their infinite wisdom, they decided to make similar cover art for all games (even using the exact same background for each and every one), but it simply made them look like second-hand copies.
Still nothing wrong

There are a million things wrong with it, anon. I just don't have the energy to argue with you every time you willingly forget.
PS1 or Saturn?
>>343040017
16 bit snes style.
>>343041547
At least he's not even on the X7 and X8 covers. As badly as they need more excitement on them.
>>343041548
i argue every thread that X5 is shit and X6 is on par with X1 and X4
You can argue all you want. I'll remember it, but in the end X5 is the worst. I'll even defend X7 before X5
>>343041615
PS1. Saturn for collecting reasons
>>343041135
Why does zero need to breathe
>>343028379
>THAT FELT GOOOOOD
>>343041615
Saturn. It was a god tier system for 2D games.
>>343041724
X5 is forgettable and below average. But it is in no way worse than X6, which is actively horrible and has many bad gameplay decisions.
But like you said, there's no point in arguing with you.
>>343041724
X6 is my favorite PS1 X title simply due how broken it is. Sure, I wish it had better stages for Infinity Mijinion or Blaze Heatnix, or harder Sigma final fight, but I can't help but love it all the same.
>>343041724
>X6 is on par with X1
X1 is the best game in the franchise. Get the fuck out of here with that shit.
>>343034798
you're fuckingcorrect
>>343041834
Well, the countdown timer and random results of taking out the station were a couple ways in which X5 was worse. I'll grant you that.
>>343041790
does zero even breath at all?
do reploids even breathe? You have me thinking now
>>343041834
X5 is far too easy and holding your hand the whole way
>has many bad gameplay decisions.
I bet you can argue why X5's Duff McWhalen's stage is good design
Speaking of which, I bet you're also in favor of X5's reploid saving over the X6 reploid saving, or the powerups at that. But no you have to wait for those powerups since theyre not instant after beating the levels, while X6 just relies on you doing the right thing and helping those who are close to death for your powerups.
>>343041859

I'm rather lukewarm on MM8 in general, but its weapon selection was definitely one of the most fun to screw around with.
>>343027608
i used to think he had one really long arm that wrapped around his head
>>343042114
>>343041615
Saturn version is best. Anyone that says otherwise hasn't played it.
Wood Man and Cut Man fights, enhanced instruments in some songs, better Tengu Man theme, and a little bonus room with a sound test and art.
>>343042114
I guess the design isn't too bad, just that the art they chose for this pitch is very, very bad.
>>343042128
So how come they never made an anime just like the intro here?
>>343042096
>i didnt say it was better
you said it was on par which is so fucking wrong.
>>343042096
>X5's Duff McWhalen's stage is good design
Sure, just let me figure out how Blaze Heatnix is a good level design. Or random fireballs in Wolfang's stage. Or constant fucking eagles in Mijinions stage. Or... the list goes on, anon. The levels in X6 are awful, while X5 mostly just has a few annoyances.
>But no you have to wait for those powerups since theyre not instant after beating the levels, while X6 just relies on you doing the right thing and helping those who are close to death for your powerups.
That is a minor fucking complaint consider X6 KILLS the reploids carrying the powerups and they are GONE FOREVER. And OH HEY don't forget that that compounds with the low-visibilty nightmare effect so they can die and you often times won't even see it.
>>343042306
The original ruby spears cartoon was going to have an anime look, but they chose to beef everyone up to make it more appealing to American audiences.
>>343042114
It's the fucking mouth and nose.
Fix that and it's a passable Megaman.
>>343042419
That armor is trash m8
>>343027608

>>343042498

>>343042419
Man, If you didn't tell me that was megaman, I wouldve thought that was some kind of Tron related cartoon.
>>343042306
Honestly I'm surprised we never got a proper Megaman anime until Battle Network came along, Inafune had clearly been interested in making one for years. Hell half the armors in the later X games were designed to sell toys.
The real fucking kicker is that the Ruby-Spears cartoon originally was made to look just like the concept and promotional artwork, and they changed the whole damn thing to appease focus groups.
>>343042591
It's overdesigned shit.
>>343042419
>there is a tiny robot that lives in his head or some shit called "Mini Mega"
Why is researching a character too much to ask? Do they feel obligated to completely miss the reasons why something is beloved?
>>343042252
I like both of the soundtracks, but I was always jealous of the extra bosses. I even tried glitching my way into the entrance of cut man's battle because apparently I thought that would fucking work.
I don't even think the anniversary collection has the extra bosses.

If you dont kill the nightmare viruses or if you dont save them in time. You fucked up? They got infected? well they arent getting uninfected. If you kill someone in real life would they come back? should you expect them to come back? if they die from a virus and not by your hands, should you still get a reward or second chance? fuck no
>And OH HEY don't forget that that compounds with the low-visibilty nightmare effect so they can die and you often times won't even see it.
>heatnix donuts with the ledges going up
>the nightmare right next to one
>if you dont act fast theyre gone
its almost like its trying to be realistic about how important it is to act fast and not hesitate - a common point made by sigma in these games
>>343042583YO, GEEKY!
>>343042839
>If you kill someone in real life would they come back? should you expect them to come back? if they die from a virus and not by your hands, should you still get a reward or second chance? fuck no
This is a videogame you stupid fuck
>>343042962
A game where the common theme is "just fucking do it" instead of hesitating.
I cant think of any other X game aside from X4 that has this theme done correctly.
>>343042750
Why were the extra bosses cut out again?
>>343042890
Knew one of you would be here. But what would be wrong with using the original megaman design? Or something a little less busy?
>>343027608
I can't play the localized version.
>>343042839
For starters, none of the stages you listed rely on RANDOM FUCKING SPAWNS. And they feature enemy designs that aren't stupid shit like circles and squares, or gray rectangles. One look at Ground Scaravich's stage should tell you this game is fucking stupid. Also:
>Area visited is fucking random
Random is bad game design. Results should be controllable.
>If you dont kill the nightmare viruses or if you dont save them in time. You fucked up? They got infected? well they arent getting uninfected. If you kill someone in real life would they come back?
Because it's bad game design. Fuck your "B-BUT MUH REALITY!" That is of minimal consequence when designing a game.
>>343043014
X6's theme is "random bullshit will fuck you up." And "we didn't have time to design something well so here's a bunch of shit thrown in your path."
http://bootleggames.wikia.com/wiki/Rockman_8_(GB)
?!?! Has anyone played this? I was just scrubbing through a wiki and found it.
>>343043107
>random spawns
if thats all you're bitching about then the only stage that has random spawns is Mijinion. Exceptions only exist if it's in nightmare mode when you have shadows of x or zero attacking at you at random
>ground scaravich
thats a legitimate complaint only if youre looking to get the capsule, heart container, and all reploids. otherwise it doesnt matter.
RNG may be a big theme, but it's only present in a few stages. everything else spawns in a static manner like all prior X games.
>Fuck your "B-BUT MUH REALITY!"
>gate's base unlocked after you beat the 8 bosses or alt boss high max
>oh look a big wall of spikes thats too high to get past
>maybe if i saved the reploids i could have gotten the jumper upgrade to jump higher
>or maybe i should have gotten the capsule for shadow armor
have you considered just getting the objectives so you dont get fucked?
>>343042839
Iunno man. What if somebody wanted to 100% the game and get everything?
If they fuck up once, they are pretty much locked out of it. Also, It just seems to me that X6 in general seems poorly put together. Some areas just seem so unplanned not very thought out. As if they were running out of time so they just put a random series of obstacles and some platforming sections and hoped it was beatable.
>>343043052
I would have definitely preferred using the classic design. I just think, face aside, it's alright.
>>343043525
because maybe i do 100% runs so i can get ready for *GDQ
X6 is not that bad even when you 100% run it.
i dont enjoy how nothing is in your way for X5 or how there's little to no challenge. You can just shoot the laser and then crash the shuttle, and your RNG chances of having zero still playable after it are 1/3 if you start as X in it, and then since you have the final stage unlocked you can just beat the game with out even having to do a fucking thing
maybe i want to play a game to get to the end.
but yes, 100% runs can get fucked up in a single mistake and thats what i like about it. if im not performing up to par it will show
>>343043431
Wolfang has random fireballs falling. Scaravich has random geometric shapes spawning (and if memory serves, they return for a Gate stage).
Also, you can get trapped in a dead end (with 9 lives because reploids are worth a life and fucking everywhere) and be forced to waste them all because you don't have the shit that hurts High Max. Try and defend that game design. You can't, because it's objectively terrible.
The entire game reeks of low budget and last-minute assembly. The aforementioned geometric enemy designs in Scaravich's stage, the constant eagles, the constant recycling of the Heatnix miniboss. Shield Sheldon's stage ending moments after it starts. It's a mess and I have no idea why you can forgive so much.
I have to assume it was your first game in the series or something.
>>343043267
I was never able to find a rom of this. I want to see just how bad it is firsthand.
>>343043809
>Wolfang has random fireballs falling
in nightmare mode
>Scaravich has random geometric shapes spawning (and if memory serves, they return for a Gate stage).
Yes and yes but what would be the point of the level if it was just RNG rooms with nothing to deal with?
>be forced to waste them all because you don't have the shit that hurts High Max
And you know what, that should be pretty fucking obvious if you pay attention to the introduction he has in the intro stage when he first appears and you CANT DAMAGE HIM. its your own fault if you dont fucking pay attention to this
>The entire game reeks of low budget and last-minute assembly
it had a rushed as shit development timeframe, many of which caused bugs that are present but hidden in X6. It didn't have the graceful development like X6 had.
>I have to assume it was your first game in the series or something.
I played the series backwards, but even then I still would defend X7 over X5.
The only reason X6 gets so much flack is because people expect more of the same when its pushing people out of their comfort zone and cant adapt. If you can tolerate it then you realize theres no real problem with it aside from getting good
>>343028008
Fucking love everything about this. The slick transition, the cacthy electrical track, colors and animation.
