Lets talk battle network!
I'm currently replaying 5 and 6 myself. I forgot just how much of a pain in the ass 5 was. None of the chip codes work well together, erratic difficulty, and so many annoying challenges like the 100 robots or that code on the ship. The postgame and huge amount of content make up for all of those though, plus even thought it's kinda frustrating it's still lots of fun.
>>321601269
stuck replaying 3. stopped at pic related.
>>321601913
What're you stuck on?
>>321602153
Don't have enough water element chips to put out all 20 fires all around the net with energy converter.
>>321602360
Go to beach one and take some hits to get down to the red. That should make bubbleman attack you, then just use some enemyloc subchips and farm him.
In still playing one, where the fuck is the WWW server entrance, also FUCK THE POWER STATION HOLY SHIT THAT CRAP WAS HORRIBLE
>>321602815
One did not age well. Also you did check the statue at the metro, right?
>>321602360
Oh I forgot to mention, the bubbleman fight will only be farmable if you've already fought v2. If you haven't just look around beach area, I forget where he is exactly. You'll need to beat v3 anyways later on so farming him now for his chip kills 2 birds with one stone.
Worst scenarios in each game:
BN1: Elecman
BN2: Freezeman's
BN3: Flameman's
BN4: Water God bullshit in Netfrica/Coldman's bullshit
BN5: Any Liberation mission. Alternatively: The ship computer full of water viruses as Napalmman
BN6: Post Game where the crisis music never turns off
>>321603172
Oh god the ship in 5 was godawful. That goddamned riddle was the worst. I assume it actually is a play on words in japanese that was just impossible to translate.
>>321603146
>Bubbleman γ
>only shows up when you're in critical health
you little fuck
>>321603373
I'm assuming the ship is way more tolerable in Colonel because you use Tomahawkman, who would have an elemental advantage, right?
>>321603146
Dont think so, although isnt the WWW server on the net through Lan's house?
Aside power station this game is fantastic, im really enjoying it, S chips seem OP as hell
>>321603514
S Chip is just a standard go-to because it's the most common chip code, and a lot of sword chips end up there. B and F are also pretty common.
>>321603509
It helps that wood is OP in all the games with undersht. Colonel basically just has flat out better Navis than protoman, which I guess kinda makes sense considering it's the canon version.
>>321603514
Wait are you still following the memo? Also if you think S chips are OP now wait until 5 when they're basically the only common chip code for most of the game.
>>321603430
Bubbleman is a little shit but if you have some good elec chips he's pretty easy to farm. He's just kinda impossible to find if you don't know the trick.
>>321601269
>inb4 it dies in under 200 posts
>>321604087
Normally we only make it to like 150. 200 is a good thread.
>>321604083
Already got all of the memos, been keeping faqs to a minimum so far but exploring the net is annoying as hell
>>321604343
Gotten the memos, or used them?
>>321604173
We used to hit bump limit pretty consistently until a few months ago.
>>321604429
Yeah, but lately we've barely made 150. Don't know why, especially since the games are now out on eshop so more people should be playing them. I'm just thankful the threads don't die on posting like threads for a series thats over a decade old tend to do.
>tfw no sunstar,exe
>>321603373
Yeah in the jap version the code was a phrase spelled out with numbers (cause numbers have their own words)
"Good countries have good meat"
>>321605075
I seriously wish they'd just had him say "I know I wrote the code down somewhere" and just added the code to the end of the flavor text of one of the deckchairs or something. That riddle just didn't work in english.
>the canon version is the one that got released AFTER Team Protoman in japan
nigga, what?
>>321605372
Have you played 6, watched the anime, or read the manga? Colonel is canonically the one who ran the anti-nebula team. Protoman just released first in japan because he had more name recognition.
>>321605602
That doesn't make sense. Colonel appears in Team Protoman as well. The only thing canon is that Lan and a team of Navi defeated Nebula, and Colonel and Barryl showed up at least two times to bail out Mega Man when the shit hit the fan.
I will admit that I never read the manga but why would i come into this thread not hving played the best game in the franchise?
>>321603172
>BN6 post-game
NOW IT'S PLAYING IN MY HEAD, AAAAAAAAAA
>>321605778
The manga basically has an entire arc about the team and it's lead by colonel. It also just makes the most sense that he was the official leader because in protoman he only shows up for like 2 minutes and megaman never really gets a chance to know him.
Also 3 is the best game in the series, 6 is just a close second.
>>321606150
>alleged canon version doesn't have gyroman, who is literally the best navi
>>321606730
> helicopter who feels the need to sometimes turn into a dude
> not a fucking train who never feels the need to not be a motherfucking train
Chargeman is best navi, shit taste can leave.actually numberman is my favorite navi. Seeing his design was what got me to play these games in the first place. Too bad he's shit in the one game he's playable.
>>321602360
Just install the Fish program and hang out in a Shrimpy-oriented area. You'll be swimming in aqua chips, pun intended because fuck you.
>>321602704
>Recommending farming a difficult boss for a chip that will be destroyed
Get out.
>>321606150
>3
>better than 6
literally how
I have succumbed to the dark chips, I am now more powerful than any of you.
>>321607185
That's not how you say Searchman.
>>321607571
by not having a chopped up post-game with never ending crisis music
3 has the best post-game out of any game by far
>>321607571
>Incredible amount of content
>Huge post game
>Tons of viable strategies
>Great boss fights
>Isn't butchered by CoA
>>321607601
Dark chips were cool but I didn't like how they were all-or-nothing.
>use a dark chip
>PERMANENT 1 HP loss
It'd be better if your max HP was tied to karma
>use dark chips some
>reach a karma flagpoint
>-10% max health
>reach a lower flagpoint
>-30% max health
>then -50%
>-70%
>-90%
and if you decide to change your mind and accrue good Karma, going back up will give you back your health.
>>321607571
6 has a win button.
>>321607849
Evade, nigger.

definitely the best mega man form but he still isn't a transformerground man is a close 2nd
>>321607930
>folder back
>sensor, flash man, chain para
>elec balls
>plant man
>rook
>not win buttons
>>321608032
not the point.
Once you go dark you can't go back. 1HP strategy works for dark megaman but that's not the case with regular megaman who can't use dark soul.
>>321607571
6 was unneeded and didn't add much at all.
Should have died with GOAT 5.
>>321607930
>needing beast over to win at all
the same could be said of folderbak
>>321604087
>that fucking Roll picture
I just see Gutsman's ass every time
>>321607849
Why do people hate the -1 HP penalty? Even if you only use the HP Ups with no NaviCust ones, it never becomes an issue. That is, unless you're being retarded and using a Dark Chip in every random encounter (which is what I assume most people who complain about the penalty do).
>>321608343
permanent stat losses is fucking dreadful no matter how tiny.
>>321608343
because it's permanent. And you're expected to basically have no HP for dark megaman.
You die and Dark Soul cheeses the fuck out of the enemy before you're brought back in an exhausted state.
>>321608343
Triggers my ocd when I want full health and i see 499 instead of 500
>>321608474
>>321608534
You just want the power with none of the consequences which is the entire reason why you lose 1 HP per use. Anything else wouldn't deter you.
>>321608717
but having a 99 is good for number ball chips
>>321608832
Well yeah, obviously, but just saying.
Personally though they could have thought of something better than just HP loss.
Would have been cool if your whole folder started to degrade and all your chips become buggy or degrade in power.
But
>capcom
>effort
>>321608832
I'd be okay with consequences if it wasn't permanent
Maybe I want to do a dark soul run for a while. Maybe I want to go back and do a regular build? I can't do that. because dark chips mean permanent HP loss.
Dark chips already have significant penalties anyways with the bugs they give you.
What do I need to get gold Bass Cross in Double Team DS? Do I need Team Protoman on the GBA, or can I have Colonel on GBA but play Protoman on DS?
>>321608986
The bugs only last during the battle which, again, wouldn't deter you from using them since they're basically going to win you the battle when you use them. Using them during a boss battle is another thing but you'd want to use them as finishers most of the time.
>>321609215
beat Bass SP in the gba Team Protoman
>>321609321
except Dark Karma builds involve using dark chips often, as they are given Dark chips off the bat instead of as a pinch strategy.
>>321609871
Yes, because once you start using Dark Chips, you'll eventually always get one starting off. It's because of Megaman's "addiction" to them which is told to you in-game.
