This game is completely flawless, arguably the best out of the 6 in my opinion. Just the right amount of difficult, no insanely overpowered meta weapon, as pure as it gets.

Stupid contrarian opinion
>>12569264What's contrarian about my opinion?
>>12569265Mega Man 1 is a fucking glitched out mess with an unnecessary scoring system, wildly inconsistent special weapons, and some horrendous level design. Like going through the exact same layout and hazards multiple times in a stage. Calling it good is one thing, “completely flawless” is just being retarded.
>>12569308>Glitched outWell it's the first game in the series, not every game can be a home run>Unnecessary scoring systemConsidering it was originally a japanese game, this one didn't shock me. >wildly inconsistent special weaponsI disagree, could you expand on that?>some horrendous level designthis is parroted a lot but it's fine, a lot of the level design ensures you're constantly at your toes and not playing on autopilot.
>>12569251Retard
>>12569246>no insanely overpowered meta weaponPretty sure that would be the Thunder Beam, even without the pause glitch.
>>12569324Using the pause glitch is cheating, you didn't beat the game. It wasn't that good though, think I only used it on ice man.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Just the right amount of difficult>Fire Man can literally be defeated by mashing Buster on him>Guts Man's gimmick can be ignored, just mashing Buster and jumping can defeat him>Cut Man is trivial>Bomb Man, while fun, is easy>...>Elec Man either BTFOs you in 3 hits or you learn how to stunlock him, making him trivial>Ice Man requires somewhat precise jumps or you die in 3 hitsNah.
>>12569332>*Buster and jumping over the rocks only
>>12569332okay, now use the buster only.
>>12569339...yes, that's about only using the buster. What do you think I was talking about?
>>12569340No. You can only use the buster. No jumping.
>>12569325>weapon that has a giant hitbox>Not that goodIt's easily a top tier weapon in the whole series
>>12569309Fire Storm and Thunder Beam are terrific weapons. Hyper Bomb and Super Arm are basically useless. Ice Slasher is a contender for worst weapon in the franchise.
>>12569356Ice slasher can freeze fire walls and the big jumping fuckers so it's instantly better than super arm and hyper bomb because it actually has an use
>>12569368>an use
>Ice Slasher hater is an ESL
The great thing about 1 is how well balanced the weapons are, ouside of Guts which is only situational, they all have their uses and ups and downs. Most MM afterwards have weapons that are either useless or OP; I also particularly dislike the amount of weapon invicibility enemies in 2 have. They should make it so they at least always take 1 damage unless special circumstance like using fire against a fire based enemy; otherwise it's really shitty.
>>12569246I think it’s good overall but the yellow devil is a pretty cruel boss, i only find mm7 wily and mmx3 sigma harder. It might be better than 5 but 2,3,4 and 6 are all better games
>>12569368You would say a use instead an use. Despite u being a vowel it uses a y sound here and since that sound is at the start of a word it's treated as a consonant so a would be proper instead of an.
>>12569492>Despite u being a vowel it uses a y sound here and since that sound is at the start of a word it's treated as a consonant so a would be proper instead of an.The term you're looking for is phonetic consonant.
>>12569496Thanks bro
>>12569246MM1 is the one I have the most experience with playing so it's my favorite for that reason.
>flawlessIf you get to Wily's Fortress and missed the Magnet Beam you're shit out of luck and have to start the entire game over
>>12569825noob ?you can leave to stage select after a game over on wily 1, pay elec man a quick visit then return to wily stages right after
I wouldn't say it's flawless but it has been consistently underrated throughout the fandom. I wouldn't say 2-6 are perfect games either, especially not 4-6 where it's a completely sterile experience. 2 is like a punk rock game where it's rough around the edges but you can tell they were trying really hard to make something cool. 1 is honestly so different in design philosophy that you can't really compare it to the other games in the first place
How would you guys improve the bomb, guts, and ice weapons? I think for bomb just making it explode on contact with an enemy would have made it really good (while having it function the usual way only if it doesn't hit an enemy and lands on the ground). No idea how I'd make guts better though. Ice I guess could do a small amount of damage but as someone else mentioned at least it's already useful for fire pillars and big eyes.
>>12569881I think despite all its glitchy flaws it really does the rock/paper/scissors thing best and that's basically the essence of Mega Man games. The weaknesses are all intuitive and pretty easy to guess, and actually do a lot of damage. I get that it has the advantage of being the first game thus the themes are all basic and easy to work with (as opposed to weird shit like gemini and yamato lol where it's hard to even imagine what the weakness would be let alone figure one out from the 7 other robot masters).
>>12570153>Super ArmMake it spawn a boulder to pick up if there isn't one in front of it>Ice SlasherMake it so frozen enemies can't hurt you and can be stood on, or remove the freezing and just make it very strong.
>>12569246>MM1>no meta weapongo to elec man's stage with gutsman's weapon, and go grab the magnet beam. There's your fucking speedrunner meta weapon.
Beaten it a couple of times, I know this game like the back of my hand.
>>12569836/vr/ don't play the games they talk about.
>>12569246It’s okay, I prefer 4/5/6 because they are more polished. The first is probably my favorite of the original trilogy though. Yellow devil is one of my favorite bosses in any mega man, once you get the pattern down to avoid him it’s so satisfying to fight him(not with pause glitch tho, you didn’t beat the game)
