How would you nerf it?Hard mode: no increasing its ammo bar usage.
>>12589013Using it does 1 point of damage to yourself.
Diagonal-up and horizontals only.
>>12589013MM3 already nerfed it
>>12589013Not exactly a nerf but we could make the rest of the weapons better. Most weapons in 2 are kinda bad
>>12589013Just make it slower.
>>12589013Give it a short cooldown after you fire it.
Make it 1-shot every enemy and boss in the game, and have infinite ammo. And if you use it even once, you can't fight the final boss and Wily escapes in a bad end.
>>12589013>Hard mode: no increasing its ammo bar usage.If you know the reset trick, it literally has infinite ammo. Thats like saying to nerf the elec shot without removing the pause trick.
>>12589013Give it forced windup/cooldown animations like the boss has, but in exchange you can hold the button down like Quick Boomerang does
>>12589103That's actually a buff.
>>12589013Toning down the damage is obvious but also make it function exactly like it does for Metal Man; can only be used while jumping, always auto targets the nearest enemy and has a short windup period similar to using the whip in Castlevania.
>>12589013Why would you nerf it? You already can't fire it while moving, which makes it effectively useless when actually trying to play the game well. Nerfing it would just make the game harder for retarded casuals.
>>12589013the game doesn't tell you that you can shoot in any direction
baby mario starts crying everytime you use one
>>12589013It loses its ability to travel through walls/objects, getting embedded into the wall/target instead. You're also only allowed to have only one blade on screen at a time.
>>12589818>What is jumping
>balance in a single player gameKys
Add gravity. Make it shoot in arcs for no reason. It doesn't make sense but it nerfs it.
>>12591541what's wrong with his jaw
>>12591562Megaman is a Habsburg
>>12591541They did that too.
>>12591565more like an Inoki
>>12589085MM3 also nerfed everything else too. Shadow Blade would probably be the worst weapon in MM2, or at least second-worst behind Bubble Lead.
>>12589013Most megaman weapons suck, why do you want to nerf one of the few decent ones?
>>12589013From the Megaman 2 Atari De-make fangame"Metal Blades can no longer be thrown straight up or straight down and are thrown at a less steeper angle when aimed diagonally. The blades deal much less damage and has a maximum of 2 uses per bar of weapon energy."You could take all that without the weapon energy increase. It also rebalances the other weapons.
>>12591478You are a retard and you should not post for a year, starting now
>>12589013Use an extra hardware gimmick, built into the cartridge, that kills the person playing the game when a single metal blade fails to hit any enemy
