If anything the PS1 games are a hair slower than the SNES titles, not to mention the artstyle doesn't get in the way of the platforming on them.

It's a return to sound form but it's not the best in the series. Hell, any game that has a stage as bad as Manowar's is invalidated from top billing out of sheer principle.

Higher quality audio, and some slight differences in certain tracks.
To be specific, the beginning of Eregion has a jingle there that isn't in the PS1/PS1-derived versions, and Frost Walrus pt2 has a slight change at the beginning. I've heard claims of there being some differences in Cyber Peacock's music as well, but this one I can't confirm first hand.
The audio also loops nicely rather than the little break->repeat that comes with the PS1 version.

>>344338071

You're right on the dithering bit and lack of transparencies, but you do get a neat heat haze effect in the background of Sky Lagoon pt2 that isn't there in the PS1 derived versions.

It wouldn't be surprising, but I haven't done any direct comparisons for stuff like that. The music quality is immediately recognizable for anyone who has played a decent amount of X4 or listened to the OST enough.

In turn, it seems like a select few of the sound effects(specifically ones that apply to the title screen and save menus) end before they're intended to.


Another difference the Saturn versions of the Mega Man games have is the absolutely abysmal FMV quality over the PS1 version due to a lack of hardware mpeg decoding, but this is a problem with MANY Saturn games and not specific to just Capcom's offerings.
>>
In terms of special weapons, I think X4 was kind of lame. X's special weapons were all weird and not very useful. Zero's special weapons were just basic abilities like double jump or slashing while dashing.

That being said, I can never play as Zero in an X game anymore. The Zero series spoiled me. Zero's movements and attacks are all so fucking smooth and perfect that X-series Zero feels like a so, clunky toaster to me.
>>
This is probably bait, but I agree.
>>
>>344342394

Yeah, what I read was that the Saturn version had slightly less impressive graphics, didn't handle the pseudo-3D stuff or Animu clips as well and had certain sound effects get clipped in exchange for a better soundtrack and less slowdown overall.

Starting from Z2, you can. But only if you get an A-rank or better.

>swordplay is downgraded from the 32-bit games
Bull-fucking-shit. He has the basic triple-strike. He can jump-slash and has dash-slash as a basic move from the very start. He can unlock rolling slashes, an alternate dash-slash, rising, downward and a sword beam. His dash is insanely smooth, everything connects really well. Zero series Zero is a perfect, well-oiled machine of death and destruction.

Git gud. Besides, the only Ex-skills that really make even slightly easier are the rising and dash attacks. The rest are just nice to look at, but most of them are pretty impractical.

To begin with, in the X-series games, most of Zero's learned skills are just basic maneuvers, like double-jump or a sword that reflects small bullets.

X3's bosses were weak and the weapons weren't the best. But it had the best playground for extra items, and a divergent castle stage to use them in.

>>344353531

The main thing I liked about X3 was the conditionals. Like having to defeat Vile with something that obviously killed the fucker instead of just shooting him, to set up the saber chance, or the stage changes like enemies losing armanents after hornet's supply depot is taken. That stuff has always made X games interesting.

Ride armor can fucking blow me though. There's no reason it's ever been in any game that's used it. You can take it out, and you lose literally nothing except a few mecha fags screaming. Even less of a fan of shit they shoehorn in just to get one or two items.
