Yep, the pinnacle of the series right here.
I don't like 10. 9 is very good though. I have the best game as Mega Man 11 even if it's levels are long.
>>74018405310 is as good as 911 loses point for the weak music and Wily stages
>>740184734why do you like 10 so much
>>740184916While the base game isn't on par with 9, 10 has better extra modes. A lot more effort went into the hard mode of 10 compared to hero/superhero modes of 9, all robot masters have new attacks, enemies are faster, levels have new/tweaked gimmicks and less cheap gotcha. Also the game has more use for Proto Man's slide and Bass is a lot of fun.
>>7401827509 is peak.10 is good.
>>740182750>the pinnacle of the series...is MMX
>>740182750Inti never made good games.
>regression is... le good
>>740187914Honestly this4 = 8 = 9 > 10 > 6 > 5 = 7 > 2 > 3 > Bass > 1X1 > X2 = X3 > X4 = X6 > X5 = X8 > X7
>>740182750i regret buying these on wiiware
>>740184916Good music, fun robot masters and the Megaman killer bonus levels are awesome, especially getting their weapons.Also has my single favorite Wily stage boss theme in the serieshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjzYS68bVXk
>>740182750Inti made the best megaman and castlevania games how do they do it and then put out dogshit original games?
>>740189829for me its9 >7 >4 >8 >10 > 2 > 3 > 6 > 5 >11 > Bass > 1X4 = X1 > X3 > X2 > X6 > X8 > X5 >= X7Fuck the Zero series and their dogshit boring levels with screen crunch
I wonder how many people still don't know about the free music DLC for MM11.
>>740190212That's still meh
>>740182750>8-Bit Slop
>>740190212its not that good. For every bad track it replaces, it adds an equal ammount
>>740190514>Legends fan excited to play it for the first time!
>>740190514>janky early 3D adventure games
>>740190109At least we agree on X5 being the worst of the PS1 games
>>740182750As a fan of 8, the downgrade in visuals was shit
8 is the worst Classic game
>>740190684The Legacy collection's version of X7 improved my idea on it since its when i learned the PS2 US version was gimped.In that version, ALL weapons do half damage, to make the game """harder""". This retardation was only on the PS2 us version, Europe and every other release after dialed down the damage to the normal JP numbers.That said, it's still slightly worse than X5 to me, but it's way closer now. Fuck the stupid ass backtracking and RNG ending + Zero
>>740190813it stings, but at least you got MM&Bass with the same style. Capcom across the board dropped the expensive spriteworks after SF3 bombed
>>740191309I grew up with X5 and I know it front to back. I should love it. I played it as part of the LC and then I played the improvement hack and I just don't like it.
>>740191309The funniest thing about X7 to me is how both phases of Sigma have exploits that Zero specifically can abuse to take him down with zero effort.
>>740191819Charged (whatever the fuck splash warfly's weapon was) makes a complete joke of his second phase, and you can just crouch behind the little steps in the first phase and he can't hit you with most attacks.
>>740191949Nah, it's not even that.In his first phase, Sigma is vulnerable to the V-hanger. All you need to do is have Zero stand in the center of the stage. Every time Sigma appears, launch the V-Hangers. They'll home in on Sigma no matter where he is, stun him, and cause him to teleport. When he reappears, just launch the V-Hangers again. Repeat until the phase ends. He LITERALLY can't do anything. All Zero has to do is stand it place and spam that one attack.In the second phase, there's this one spot on the southwestern part of the stage where if you stand right at the edge, half of Sigma's attacks cannot hit you. Literally, two of his attacks are rendered completely ineffective just by standing in place on that spot. The other half can be negated by Zero's defense skill, or by just swinging the Z-Saber. As long as you stand on that one spot and use Zero's skill at appropriate times, it's impossible for Sigma to hurt you.
>>740192287Sigma is such a little bitch. Except for in X4
>>740182750>Best game in the series followed by one that made to be like mm3 but didn't work as good as mm9Odd. Anyway, 9 was peak but 10 still had its moments with the old robot master fights
>>740192287>>740191819You don't even need to do that funny enoughthere's a spot in phase 2 that you can stand with either X or Axl and none of Sigma's attacks can ever hit you, and you just shoot him down forever
>>740193157to specify it better, it's the second to last platform on top, you can nudge yourself in a spot and just shoot with everything missing you
Never saw such a big gap between 9 and 10. The weapons aren't as solid and the game is easier, but that's about it.
>>740192485I personally think the one in X3 is the hardest. He hits like an isekai truck and takes up 2/3 of the arena. Not that I'd ever choose to replay X3.
Why were the first, second and third final Wily Bosses unique?Well then again to be fair, Wily Capsule is seldom the full boss fight. It's just the final form and the previous forms are very varied and fun.
>>740190514>Series born in 8bit era staying in 8bit looks>this is somehow bad
>>740193339It wouldn't be hard if the X3 arm upgrade didn't suck so much ass that hitting his weak point with a charged shot is almost impossible
>>740193445Wily capsule just works. The alien and especially Gamma were really shitty fights
>>740193487>Staying More like regressing. It really had no business being titled 9 when it barely offered anything new.
>>740190813Imagine the alternate timeline where Capcom reused the MVC sprite for Mega Man 9. Yes I know the Mega Man 7 sprite is missing but I just stole this from somewhere.
>>740193719>Imagine the alternate timeline where Capcom used a sprite that has no business being in a platformer Nah I'm good
10 > 4 > 11 > &Bass = 9 > 3 > World 5/V > Powered Up > everything else>>740184916Everything in 10 is excellent except for nearly every miniboss being a chore to fight. Its OST and weapon lineup isn't as perfect as 9's but having the best Wily Castle in the series balances that out and then some.
>>740193487Guess we gotta do the same for Mario and Sonic,OH WAIT!
>>740192485X3 he is almost impossible without the saber and all upgrades.X4's pattern is very satisfying and telegraphed.
>>740193339>>740193601>>740194092I thought Kaiser Sigma was hard as shit at first, but then I figured out that his attacks really aren't that hard to dodge, and to hit his head, you have to aim for his shoulder. I figured it out and I was able to pretty reliably beat him without using any tanks.X4 on the other hand is hard as fucking shit specifically because of the head's suction attack (and because I didn't know about Zero's slash dash cancel thing).
>>740182750The capstone, you might say.
>>740194192>the head's suction attackThat sucks but if you spam its weakness it's dead in no time
TIME TO GET SEWIOUS
>>740194192nowdays i actually think his captain america form is harder. his rapid fire pistol shot kills in 2 hits without any upgrades
>>740194382IT'S NOT OVER YET
>>740193445Why does Megaman fight an alien?
>>740195351He hates non americans
>>740193445>unique>Wily Machine that appears in basically every MM games as phase 1retard
>>740193712>More like regressingNo, the formula was perfected between 2, 3 and 4. Also; series =/= IP and for that megaman expanded with more series.
>>740184734>10 is as good as 9No.
>>740194070>both fucked up by straying away from spritesI'm seeing a pattern here...
>>7401827509 was way better but 10 was still good
>>740187914We know, why do you think this thread was made
>>740198676X never meant 10The year 20XX isnt the year 2110
>>740193719Sprite is way too big for a proper game. Maybe if the resolution was closer to 640x480 so that it can scale closely to the NES games.You may now proceed to green text>AI slopIt's just a shitty mock up for the people that can't rotate an apple in their head.
>>740194070YesThat was, in fact, the takeaway after 4
>>740198752>>740198676There’s probably a reason why Capcom stopped using Roman Numerals after Mega Man 7. I’m glad Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest still use them I think they’re cool. And now Dual Override dropped the numbering altogether for better or worse.
>>740199258>maniathat shit was nostalgia bait instead its own thing, anon
>>740198923This is cool and I don’t care if something is AI, I’m neutral about it. I’m not gonna cry myself to sleep about it like the bunch of internet NPCs do.
>>740182750Both those games are forgettable trash.
I never really played megaman but I bought the first X legacy collection because I like shmups and 16 bit shitAre any of the others worth getting
Fun Fact: Dual Override isn’t the first time the series used subtitles>Rockman 2: The Mystery of Dr. Wily!!>Rockman 3: The End of Dr. Wily?!>Rockman 4: A New Evil Ambition!!>Rockman 5: Blues' Trap?!>Rockman 6: The Greatest Battle of All Time!!>Rockman 7: Showdown of Destiny!!>Rockman 8: Metal Heroes!!>Rockman 9: The Ambition's Revival!!>Rockman 10: Threat from Outer Space!!>Rockman 11: Gears of Fate!!Which Subtitle is your favorite?
>>740199568did you try the zx collection for aile?
>>740199638noshould I
>>740199702yeah. the games play like x but more open and later like a metroid
>>740199568If you liked X, try ZXClassic is fun, but it's completely separate from those games. They don't have a lot of movement mechanics. It's jump and shoot in its purest form. They're fun, but if you're looking for speed, Classic won't give it to you. Gravity Circuit is free right now.
>>740199542>over a decade old and still fondly remembered>forgettable
>>74018275010 is probably the most balanced Mega Man game and one of the best entry points to the Classic series>Multiple playable characters, the most of any single main Classic game>Multiple difficulty selections that actually matter as opposed to making everything a damage sponge>Levels are solid and straightforward affairs with great music and a good selection of minibosses>Robot Masters are difficult, but not to a ridiculous degree>Boss Weapons aren't as good as 9, but are mostly fine outside of a few duds, plus the Mega Man Killers weapons are a great bonus>Challenge Mode and Endless Mode are both welcome additions and offer a great challenge for those seeking it, and the Mega Man Killers levels are nice bits of fanservice
>>740182750battle network mogs everything else
>>740199789I like jumping and shooting but I don't see why I would play megaman for that when I could play metal slug or some other arcade shmupI like running and gunning more than jumping and shooting
>>740199727>>740199789is the second X legacy collection worth it or do those games suck?the zero collection is 10 bucks right nowyou're telling me it has cute girls?
>>7401996053 and 7 should have had their names swapped
>>740200297I mean, Metal Slug and Shmups play absolutely nothing like Mega Man. They don't share anything in their design philosophy. Those games are more frantic with a lot more going on. Mega Man is slower paced and more focused on level layouts, enemy layouts and stage hazards.
>>74018491610 doesn't have bullshit death traps that are glossed over because "m-muh nostalgia!!!"
>>740200343Only X5 and X6 play like thebother X games and those took a dip in production quality. X7 was an attempt at doing the game in 3D with abysmal execution and X8 was a return to 2D, but the physics are all fucked up and most of the stages are gimmick stages rather than proper stages. You would really only be picking up the collection to play 2 mid games and 2 different feeling games. There's also C Challenge Vol 2.X6 is worth a try though. It's still based of X4's core movement system but with some minor tweaks and the rest of the game is designed by developers who clearly hate the player and don't want them to succeed, and if they do, not have a good time while doing it.
>>740200537They are frantic but they are deliberate in how the levels are designed and where they put the enemies The main difference is they are a lot more fun
>>740200682But 9 is full of those...
>>740200751what about zero and zxyou are convincing me to not get the second X collection
>>740200893>left thumb glued to forward on the d-padThese kind of retards still exist?
>>740200809>The main difference is they are a lot more funI disagree but respect your view. I don't see them as comparable to make that claim.
>>740200893...exactly?
>>740200927zero series good, later entrys easier and funzx series fun. learning how to use the model forms make going through random generated maps fun
>>740200927Skip Vol 2Get Zero/ZX Collection if you liked X Vol 1.
>>740201026You should play more metal slugthere's sections like the train level in X that have enemies behind cover, where the only way to kill them is either pick up the drop shot that spawns before that section or duck under their shots to lob grenades over their coverall of the metal slug games are deliberately designed like that, they don't just spam enemies at you to overwhelm you with cheap bullshit for the most partalso metal slug has fio
>>740199789>gravity circuit is free on steam >on sale for 8 dollars on the eshopfor what purpose
>>740201267I never said I don't enjoy them anon. I said they're not comparable. I don't think one is greater than the other because they have vastly different approaches in the action genre.
>>740182750Just had a shower thought, Mega Man wasn’t the only series to return to its roots on the 9th entry. Final Fantasy did it too.If only FF9 returned to 8-bit or 16-bit sprites then that would’ve been even funnier.
>>740201056>>740201080can i play as a cute girl
>>740201645in za yeah. alie has better booty than ashe
>>740201409some approaches are better than others
>>740201645Yes
>>740201701>>740201765do I have to play zx after all the zero games or does it not matter
>>740202145Doesn't matter. There's references to characters and events but you can get the gist of it by just going straight into ZX.
>>740199568What are you waiting for anon?DO IT FOR HER
>>740202979I can't say no to cute girls shooting thingsor a 66% sale
>>740199442Only because SEGA told them to put in old levels. The original pitch was just the new stuff.
>>740199838I played them a decade ago and I barely remember them. I remember every detail of Megaman 1-5, 7 & 8. Never played Mega Man 6 when it originally released because it was an original Mega Man game and I have no strong memories of that one either even though I've played it before.
>>740201530It was less returning to its roots and more trying to use nostalgia for a buck. That's why Inafune had Inti go with MM2 as the base with 9/10 because it was the money maker at the time.
>>740203609It means it's a (You) problem.
>>740204251>at the timeStill is. Wasn't there some kind of MM2 watch recently
>>740204498The watch is more like nostalgiabaiting since MM11 took the top spot.
>>740204693
>>740204809You heard me Inafune.
i just wish we got legends 3
>>740204269Nah, it means those games are forgettable trash. I played La Mulana and Cave Story at least 10 years ago and those were unforgettable.
>>740205342I played all those and can't recall much from megaman 4 and 5; it's a (You) problem.
next BN when capcom
>>740200343XLC2 is half suck games, half ok ones
>>740199914true
X > Classic > Legends > Zero > ZX > RPGshite
>>740208087>> RPGshiteWell fuck you too.
>>740208253You heard me
>>740208475Then X can't be on the top
>>740193719why is volnutt in a sea of rocks
>>740190212Wtf do you mean free, I thought that was a preorder thing
>>740202560
Megaman 2 is genuinely the best Classic Megaman game and I'm tired of pretending it's not.
>>740189964Out of the MM10 OST?it's this balladhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_F9q6_pYBfI
>>740213275everyone says this
>>740182750mm9 is easily superior to any other megaman game from that series.
