Glitchy messes aren't better than timeless classics, no.

Pretty much, people who disagree are covert spies from reddit.

It is objectively better.

It had shittier Wily Castle stages, a more broken Item-2, 9 e-tanks instead of 4, shittier music than 2, slowdown out the ass, and was rushed out the door in only 6 months. It also wasn't a huge improvement over its predecessor like 2 was to 1. So, disagree.

No.

most memorable childhood Megaman.

I liked 2 more but I have a woody for Wood Man as a boss. He is my favorite.

I was more of a fan of 4 and 5, but 3 is also very good

>Let's be real here /vr/. Everyone believes that Mega Man 3 was superior to 2 in every way, right?
Ugh, no. Just... no.

Let's get the obvious stuff out of the way: the glitches, the slowdown, the weird developer cheats left in the game. Sure, hacks have fixed all that up, but...

... the level design is still terrible. Too many big, open areas with very little interesting platforming. Most of the spots in the game requiring sliding are there just to remind you that you can slide and add nothing else to the game. I think Needle Man's stage is the most "complete" stage in the game, and even that has issues with those giant extending spikes that are clearly an invitation to use your awesome new slide ability yet are pretty much a deathtrap unless you slowly work you way between each one.

... the weapons are... eh. The Spark Shot doesn't do much except make moving enemies into static obstacles. The Magnet Missile is boring. Top Spin would actually be okay if it weren't so likely to screw you over by making you take a hit or lose all of your weapon energy. The Gemini Laser (aside from being a boring idea for a weapon from a character who splits into two) is slow and difficult to aim properly. The Hard Knuckle feels like it should be the big bruiser weapon of the game, but it's rarely useful. The only real workhorses are the Search Snake and the Needle Cannon.

... the Proto Man fights are clearly placeholders. I refuse to believe that the programmers said "Okay, he jumps back and forth and shoots with no variation to his pattern" and were okay with it.

I mean, really, if you want a solid Mega Man game, you've got to go with MM4, or even MM2 if you're willing to deal with its relatively primitive design issues. Hell, even MM7 is a more satisfying game to me than MM3.

I used a chair leg instead of a brother. It was much more dependable.

I like them both, but Mega Man 3 has a bit more to it in terms of Mega Man-iness.

Dis nigga is serious?

mega man 3

second-worst game in the series after mega man 7

...however, spark man and snake man are awesome

wait how could i forget
>TWO fucking boss loops for no reason
like seriously why

>>2793882
I like megaman 7 and I like megaman 3.
Fuck you.

>>2793865
2 had the best music hands fucking down.

>>2793882
Half of your problems can be solved by getting good.

Poor design is poor design regardless of how much difficulty it presents.

I just wanted this guy to come back for another game, coolest part of 3 right here

>>2793971
but none of the game's problems, huh

I like 5 most outside of the 1-up meme.

But to be honest overall I like X series much more.

>>2793485
no fucking way m8

>which one of these countless virtually identical games is the best
welp let's saddle in for 500 replies

Mega Man 2 was kinda eh too
>too easy
>Beat most bosses by going braindead and spamming metal blades

Mega Man 4 is the best

I don't like Mega Man without sliding

Why play Megamans when you could play superior Sonic 1-3?

>>2793982

Agreed. Always my favorite to draw.

>>2794474
>2 is too easy
>4 is the best

Isn't 4 considered one of the easiest?

Mega Man 2 is probably the only Mega Man game that's a complete package. The other games may have outdone individual things about 2, but none of them were as good as 2 at being a comprehensive experience.

>>2794513
Nope, 2,5 and 6 are the easiest ones, 2 because the metal blades, 5 for its ridiculous 1-up drops and broken mega buster, and 6 overall isn't that hard.

>>2794067
and this.

I still contend that 1 was the best.

I'm really fond of 4, but 3 is probably my second favorite.

I used to be into 2 like everyone else, but playing it through again the weapon balance bothered me and a handful of things about the Wily stages really killed the game for me.

>>2793927
Nah, but MM2 is easily the second best OST in the series behind MM3. Too bad so many of the other games in the series had such forgettable tunes.

as always I expect people who suck at video games to complain mega man 1 and 7 are too hard and poop their pants because 7 is "too zoomed-in to see enemies" which is my favorite excuse for sucking at a simple mega man game

Played megaman 2 constantly as a child because it was what I had.

Didn't have access to mm3 and emulators til much later. And RPGs like chronotrigger and smrpg took precedent instead.

Platformers were high unplayable sans controller so years later I still haven't really played the other mega games much besides the recent releases. As such, MM2 is still best for me.

>he doesn't like 6

Shit taste

>>2795040
MM3 had the Break Man theme. That right there is a crime against humanity, there's no way you can put that soundtrack in first place with a track that can shatter glass and kill your dog.
