Mega Man Megathread

[Yousef Yousef]

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

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

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?


Never heard of it.

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

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. ?

Fair enough.

So, I take it, you don't like Mega Man Zero's story?

 

[χKai]

It ain't about that.
It's, I don't like that they made X an asshole and a coward.
Also his design sucks. Sorry to have to be the one to say it.

An asshole and a coward? I didn't get that impression from X when playing the games.

 

[thanonyx thanonyx]

My favorite version of Mega Man will always be .exe.

My favorite version of Mega Man will always be .exe.

Why?

 

[Yousef Yousef]

I agree he isn’t. X is awasome.

My favorite version of Mega Man will always be .exe.

Awesome.

I agree he isn’t. X is awesome.

I think you guys are misunderstanding here; I meant what they did to him in the Megaman Zero series, not the original Megaman X.

I've undestood your original point perfectly. I was also talking about MMZ!X.

You mean ZX?
I didn't think the character  himself was an asshole; just that they made him into one throughout the progression of the story. But wait, that was Copy X wasn't it?

No, I meant Mega Man Zero, a.k.a. MMZ.

 

[MasterEn]

I’ve decided to include X. Not only would this be a nice way to state my position on both given that I love both (and they also belong in the same conversation due to similar structure that zero doesn’t have because his games are more exploration and lite rpg based) but it will also make some games that will rank low look better considering I love nearly all classic games, but I bet the bottom one will seem like I hate it which I don’t. Anyways here goes.
1- Megaman & Bass

you left out megaman x: command mission.

 

[fake-chan]

you left out megaman x: command mission.

Command Mission is a RPG, not a platformer.

 

[Yousef Yousef]

you left out megaman x: command mission.

To be completely honest I forgot I even wrote that list xD

 

[MasterEn]

Command Mission is a RPG, not a platformer.

it still counts as a mega man x game.

 

[fake-chan]

it still counts as a mega man x game.

So are the Xtreme games, which are also not in the list.

 

[MasterEn]

the x in mega man zero 1 is a copy. the little fairy that shows up early is the soul of the real x. the one you fight at the end is a fake copy of him.

oh, i didn't notice that. they should be ranked as well.

to be fair; the person who made the tier list on page one was only doing mega man classic and mega man x. granted, several of these need to be added, but it would probably be best to separate them by genre, rather than the series section. you can't really compare an rpg to a platformer unless you only compare specific elements like story, character, or music.

you could also just copy a list of the mobile mega man games off of Wikipedia if you don't want to type all of them out.
