Mega Man Megathread

[Zeo]

Wily begging is part of his iconic joke, like his white flag of "i give up.... for now!". To the point that they even managed to do an ingame joke with the speed gear begging

Amazing how pathetic that moment was

The enemy weakness become better when his machines in the final fights also gets said weakness. Nothing like giving Megaman a way to beat his machines

Then again, the Mega buster is all that Megaman needs

Wily Capsule 7 is such a headache. I'll try again tomorrow with 4 E Tanks and an S Tank. I watched a few strategy videos, so I think I'll be good.

Lmfaooooo omg the opening of MM8 is crazy. Bass saying "Shut up!" and firing his buster took me out xD

 

[Ikagura]

I kinda like the Shredder style helmet for Protoman in there

The main issue is that it's mega man but it almost looks like a Heavy Metal Magazine cover

This is... interesting

 

[Zeo]

Wily look like an anime ending character there

Will always love the good old covers, they got their style and charm that is no longer a thing

Even if the cover is shit

I've played Mega Man Powered Up. Very nice remake although it has some small flaws.

Big shame neither MM2 nor MM3 got that treatment...

 

[JustLooking456]

I'm having a great time playing Mega Man 8. The action is a lot more fluid, the music is peak and I really love the artstyle. I'm excited to start Mega Man & Bass after this too.

One thing I dislike, though. I'm playing it on MM Collection 2 for the PS4. The sprites are a lot more pixelated than the PS1 version. But, it's still fun.

Edit- Legend of Mana on PS4 suffers from the heavy pixelation too. Idk why these older games get ported and look worse...

They don't do integer scaling like on most emulators?

I also like MM8's style. A shame that no other game tried 7&8's style again.

I do appreciate the remaining use of the powers in this game and Powered Up, too bad they don't do it in other games.

It oozes with charm

The backgrounds in both MM8 and Legend of Mana look better, but the sprites are... jarring, to say the least.

Mega Man and Bass reuses the style, and so does X4 (kinda) but that's about it.

Found a game that kinda sorta has that Mega Man Legends feel to it. I know this is strictly a Mega Man thread but I'm a criminal so I'm going to show the game anyway:

This is like VirutalOn?


Also do you win something by saving every robot masters in Powered Up? I kinda want to try getting most unlocks but I also wanna do the GB games.

I've never heard of Virtual On before, but I just watched a video and yeah! Seems very similar to Pop'n Tanks.

Also, I googled what happens when you save all the robot masters. According to Google, they all become unlockable characters (haven't played Powered Up so can't 100% confirm)

I have 32 Bolts so far in Mega Man 8. Thinking about just completing the game tonight since I'm near the end of it anyway. Idk though, because I'm really sleepy.

Some people calls the genre "mecha arena" or something like that.

I have Cutman and Bombman. You need to defeat them with the Mega Blaster.

Can you get every upgrades? I feel you cannot sadly.

Good luck!

In the OVA Roll wears a kimono (I'm less fan of the lipstick though. Also wouldn't it be hard on a metal shell instead of skin?)

I do like her battle armour more though

OMG YOU CAN'T!!! This whole time I thought you could, but sure enough, 40 Bolts isn't enough.

That sucks!!! Well, I guess I can do without the upgrade to climb ladders really fast.

Either because they don't want you to get overpowered or maybe they haven't planned it...

Wish you could "sell" upgrades to reset them...

Here are the varied costumes of Roll in Powered Up (my favourite is Knight followed by Rainy Day)

 

[Zeo]

You need to get all robot masters in Powered Up mostly to take the alternate paths of the stages and find the pieces used for stage creator since they are blocked by something that only they can pass

Other than that, just to play as other characters and 100% the game

Not that is hard to unlock them, just reduce their HP then change to the mega buster, or just use the mega buster as a finisher

Okay, people may criticise the show but she was quite badass in this one

She kinda reminds me of Coco Bandicoot but as a human in a way.

But let's throw whatever this is in the fire:

"Bad Box Art Roll" unironically looks nice (albeit very american-like)

She looks a bit more like a comic book heroine from the 60's but I'm fine with that.

 

[JustLooking456]

@Ikagura My favorite version of Roll is from the Mr. Mega Man manga:

This manga kicks ass. Begins as a slice of life type, then shit hits the fan and Mega Man has to suit back up and handle business.

There are many mangas?

Also isn't it Enker from the first GB game? Are those actually canonical to the Classic series?

Roll has more outfits than Barbie

I've finished Dr. Wily's Revenge on the Gameboy (via the NSO).

It's a decent downgraded port of Mega Man 1 but I'm a bit confused about why we get to see the MM2 robot masters in the boss rush section right before the true Wily Fortress in space. It feels like they've been added in the last minute just to give Megaman some more abilities against the final boss yet having Fire Man and Heat Man's power feels a bit redundant.

Finished Mega Man II on the Gameboy.

 

[Megarockman _1987 Megarockman _1987]

Finished Mega Man II on the Gameboy.

Hell yeah
I was finished it too

 

[JustLooking456]

I got to the first stage of Wily's Tower in MM8 last night. The snowboarding is tough. I got frustrated, realized it was late as hell and went to bed. Bout to try again after I get some coffee.

 

[Ikagura]

Hell yeah.
I was finished it too.

I'll try doing the remaining ones asap.

Technically I would've finished every canonical Classic Mega Man games.


Unless the two arcade games and that WonderSwan one are canon as well.

Ok, I'm about to fight Wily Capsule 8. Mega Buster for damage, Astro Crush to evade. Wish me luck.

Edit- I BEAT HIM!!! MEGA MAN 8 IS COMPLETE!!! Time to watch the ending and maybe start Mega Man & Bass.
