Mega Man Megathread

[χKai]

Hey, at least you know that Mega Man & Bass is a peak Mega Man, unlike some people.

I have a Youtube video about it
I honestly forgot about it until yesterday, if you want to see it you'll have to Discord me.

I hate Discord and refuse to use it on principle, so no video for me, I guess.

Alright I'll post it; but it's embarrassing AF.

I like to keep the battle from being one-sided in my videos, so that the viewer is not sure who will win until the very end.
That said, about halfway through you can kinda tell when I finally get pissed and stop taking damage.

Oh hey, I guess I did get hit again after that. Maybe I was thinking of my other video.

Nice video, but if you wanted to show off, you should've use Mega Man. After all, everybody knows MM&B is literally impossible with him /j

If I wanted to show off, I'd do it without getting hit.

But I learned a long time ago that if I were to display any sort of talent or skill, even without the intention to show off or brag, that divine intervention will come down and smite my ass for trying.

Hey, you can beat Magic Man buster-only. I'd say most people (myself included) can't do that.

Wanna see a real challenge? Play Megaman X3 with the beam saber as your only upgrade.

As soon as I find a way to get the Beam Saber at the start of the game, I'll record a playthrough. It's a lot of fun, but the saber is very limiting to your options for charging or dodging attacks swiftly.

I'll forever be a Mega Man Legends apologist.

Game was awesome through and through, and so was The Misadventures Of Tron Bonne.

Same here, such a clean and great looking graphics, beautiful music, fun and easy to understand gameplay, cool story, is one of few games that give me a cozy feeling of belonging in a digital world (as crazy as it sounds).
As a non native english speaker the voice acting help me to learn a lot when i was a child that is a big plus to me

Maybe I'm mistaken but I thought being an apologist meant you were sorry they made it? (In this case, apologizing for the existence of MML on behalf of the Megaman community)

No, "apologist" means you defend something from criticism.

Ohhh. Suddenly a lot of things make sense

Why the X2 disrespect

 

[DRAKKO]

This list sucks.

thanks man, hopefully you learned something. ( @ _ @ )

Why the X2 disrespect

its not bad, i like 2, i just dont like the levels as much as 1, and i dont like 1 and 2 compared to 3 and forward. (except 7)

Honestly the list doesn’t suck. Seemed pretty normal to me. I enjoyed 3 and 5 so I see why they’d be placed so high, and 4 is obviously pretty similar to 5 already.
X1 being so low is also not a huge deal because i replayed that game so many times that the flaws begun to stand out to me.
Decent list, I think X2 is my favorite (but I get if someone doesn’t like it)

thanks man, i choose my favorites based on my list of preferences, from important to not that important, it goes

- Gameplay.
- Level design.
- Weapons.
- Bosses.
- Armors.
- Playable Zero.
- Music.

btw have you played 8, if yes whats your opinion of it?

I think 8 was decent. Best controlling game in the series for me and best “game-feel”. Level design is hit and miss, thered both good and meh levels and some levels are a little too short and lack weight.
Icarus armor is my favorite in the series. Really customizable. Each part can swapped separately which is really handy.
Music is ok-ish. Zero in my opinion is the best he’s been but Axl is no slouch. Axl is honestly my favorite in the series to control but X is also really damn refined and he’s fun to control.

Bosses are sadly a bit meh. Their patterns are extremely basic and have next to no learning curve, their invulnerabilities are unnecessarily long.

Level design’s best aspect is the collectibles. They’re hidden in creative ways.

 

[χKai]

Had anyone gotten to play Megaman X Online Deathmatch? I was on it a lot before the servers were taken down. Amazing game, feels just like the SNES ones.

so the game is a 7 or 6.5, just really mid?

its sad to hear the levels are mid, their are usually my favorite part minus the ice leves (fuck them).

bosses are not big loss, i just get to them, hit them with their weaknes and im on my merry way.

icarus armor sounds really cool, its kinda like skills in X5.

im honestly just happy to play as Zero. ngl

 

[fake-kun]

One complaint I often hear about the Classic and X series is that they overuse Dr. Wily and Sigma as the main villains.

I both agree and disagree with this, depending on which series we're talking about. In the Classic series, because of barebones stories, it doesn't really matter who's the villain, so I don't mind Dr. Wily's constant presence.

The X series, however, is a different matter. In the beginning, Sigma was presented as a much more nuanced villain than Dr. Wily, wanting to "evolve" Reploids, even if it meant great sacrifices. Starting with X4, however, Sigma lost those qualities and became a crazed lunatic who wanted to kill everyone just 'cause. This would be a problem all on its own, but the X series also tried to sell itself on being mature and story-based. Having some genocidal wacko appear just to serve as the final boss, while also hijacking other antagonists, doesn't really mesh with this premise. This is compounded by the series's refusal to advance the plot in any meaningful way until the literal end.

But what do you guys think?

In my honest opinion it’s closer to a 7.5, just with flaws that I felt were somewhat forgivable.

I’m genuinely against the whole “change Wily and Sigma”, because they did change and I didn’t like their replacements.

Lumanines is by far the worst Megaman villain period.
Dr Cossack simply does not work as a villain.
Fake protomon and Dr X were also godawful
To be completely blunt, this format cannot really work with changing villains. Having the same villain is better.

Although I would say it’s more fine in X’s case. I was kinda ok with the “supposed” replacements in X3, X4 and X6

 

[χKai]

Well, it's like this..

Megaman
Dr. Wily kept coming back because Megaman can't harm human beings.

Megaman X
Sigma kept coming back because he became a computer virus.

Megaman Zero
I honestly have no explanation for the ending or the bastardization of Mah Boi

To be fair, Dr. Cossack, fake (hehe) Proto Man, and Mr. X exist just to be fake-out villains. Naturally, they wouldn't work on their own.

I used to main Fake Zero in Megaman X Online Deathmatch.
