Anyone ever find a guide that covers some of the specifics of the Metal Slug series? (or any of the main four games).
Weapon damage would be a good example of what i am talking about. Can't seem to find much information about this. I have always wanted to know if all enemies take the same level of damage or if some have more/less armor towards bullets vs explosives (doubt this happens but sometimes i wonder) Also trying to find out if there is a "cap" on the amount of damage an enemy can take at once. It feels like if i toss 6 grenades very quickly at a vulnerable boss the damage that results is less than if i were to toss em a little slower. The amount of damage done with a direct shell from the slug cannon vs hitting an enemy with the explosion plume is another curiosity.
I feel like i saw a damage chart 8-10 years ago on this Metal Slug fan-site, it was the largest of them all at the time. Almost positive it was called something like metalslugarsenal.(jp, kr or ru). Can't seem to find the actual name or an archive.
Regardless, Metal Slug thread.

I'm with you. I loved the fuck out of this game, but never really understood the stats behind it.
My main was Fio, how bout you?
Tarma is the best easily because he always yells fuck when he dies

Nope, the girls are the best because you can see their butt when they're killed by acid.
my favorite character was also Tarma. he just looks badass.
I think the damage and health stats are probably more basic than we imagine.
Also, did someone really find the lastest metal slug games lacking? I mean, I love them all but there still not a MS that can top the 3rd one.
I still have MS6 and MSXX installed on my pc, I got them not to long ago and still playing them every now and then. MSXX is frustratingly hard.

Also, I prefer the characters not having special habilities.
I always wanted a MS8 that continued the MS5 story/theme. While I like it a lot, it had a lot of potential
>>3105918
Marco now because he is easy to see and i can chose him while taking a drink because he is selected by default.
Other than that, Eri is best.

Metal slug X is the best one though

What's wrong with knocking back a few cold ones after work?

>he always yells fuck when he dies
bullshit
Why does the rocket launcher suck so much dick compared to a lot of the weapons.

you have to fire up close
This is for metal slug ds but should give you a good basis. Remember to always shoot while crouching to fire faster.

Doesn't apply in Metal Slug 2, X. However, it does when you have a weapon powerup.
