Mega Man Thread

Why did no Mega Man X game after the first one include the stage changing mechanic? That was one of my favorite things about MMX.

MMX6 had nightmare effects that changed other stages.

After beating (or exiting) Blaze Heatnix's stage, there would be fireballs appearing in Blizzard Wolfang and Infinity Mijinion.

Sorry, I should have clarified. Why is Mega Man X the only one that does the stage changing mechanic in a way that isn't terrible or pointless?

Megaman is dead.
Hell yeah we can't even all agreed which game is worst MMX game.
I would say X6 is worst, though.

Terrible absolutely, but it's the only way to get parts like Jumper.

The one redeemable factor about this is don't have to worry about losing that Reploid to a Nightmare.

I never played X4 as a kid so I tried it with Zero and reached a spider boss that was insanely hard to defeat without using his weakness, yet the level right before was INSANELY easy

Is the game full of stuff like this or should I just face a different boss?

Was I playing wrong or does he really take that much damage?

Web spider is pretty easy even without his weakness.

But for beginner, I suggest you to play Magma Dragon stage first.
Protip: keep your Ride Armor safe and use it to fight the boss.

All Mega Man X games feel extremely hard when you start but become easier as you collect upgrades. You can find a heart container in the stages of S. Owl, J. Stingray, S. Mushroom, and C. Peacock that don't require a power or upgrade. You can also find a subtank in Jet Stingrays level and the leg parts in Web Spiders stage which can help too. You shouldn't have much trouble beating Frost Walrus with just the buster, but a lot opens up when you get Web Spiders weapon.

>so I tried it with Zero and reached a spider boss that was insanely hard to defeat
Get better. His first phase is easy and you can easily out-DPS his second phase.
>does he really take that much damage?
He takes as much damage as unarmored X.

If you want the opposite experience, play Jet Stingray's stage for a difficult level with an easy boss.

Sorry, didn't see the zero part, this only works with x

I love those Megaman threads lately.

Just received my Megaman Zero collection and just finished the first one and it was a "meh" ride till Neo Arcadia, I liked beating the shit out of copy x.

What about the others, are they better ? Musically and gameplay wise ?

The Zero games?
They definitely improve gameplay wise as the series goes on. Musically as well, I suppose.

Visually, too. The mugshots for characters get much better with each new entry. Zero's saber also changes from that weird thin beam into the triangular shape you see in promo art by the time you hit the third game.

Zero 2 is great. Keep going.

i wont deny what you say about the series improving but i feel like the first two games offered more of a challenge in comparison to 3 and especially 4.

nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=768663

For those who missed it yesterday, the big ass megaman musics torrent

Oh in terms of challenge, 1 and 2 are harder, for sure. 3 and 4 lean on the much more forgiving side.

megaman x collection on Steam when

this.
I want to play through all the X series.
Can i just emulate the ps2 version?

>running a snes emulator inside a ps2 emulator
>when you could be emulating the snes roms directly

Literally for what reason

Because im lazy. Is there some rom pack i can torrent all at once? i don't want to go to some shady rom site and get 10 viruses per megaman X game i download

>lazy
You are not suitable for MegaMan game.

What are you talking about? X3 did that with Sting Hornet. When you beat him and cutoff the supplies, Toxic Seahorse's and Gravity Beetle's stages became easier. Oh and don't forget that Volt Catfish had control over power to Blizzard Buffalo's sector.

Anyway, one could argue that Sigma got smart and spaced out the attacks, or the humans/Reploids safeguarded systems so the Mavericks wouldn't do the reverse to you.

nice one faggot

Are you an idiot? Most rom sites are well established, they don't give viruses. Go to emuparadise you idiot.

It's shit. I'm using it now.

Honestly i thought the older generation who look for this stuff would have better resources than shitty third rate jew scams

is there a difference between X4/5 and X6 Z-saber or is it just graphical? I mean gameplay-wise.

because I always felt the X6 saber performed worse.

the PS2 version has less slowdown

Refresh my memory here. I don't remember.

They realized it would be shit in sequels and changing stage layouts all the time would require a lot of work, especially in regards to balance for newer players.

X6 Saber is the best in the PS1 games. It performs differently, but you get massive damage as a result.

>X6 Saber is the best in the PS1 games. It performs differently, but you get massive damage as a result.

how so?

It's the range.
X6 has better vertical range but X4-5 has better horizontal.
Also I think Z-saber in X6 is slower than X4-5.

It was in X3, but a lot weaker and less noticeable.

Everything (save for bosses) is weak to the saber in X6, Zero or otherwise. Zero makes Xtreme easy in X6.

About why they didn't do it again? Who knows, but probably because it takes a lot of work.

About why X6's was terrible and pointless? Most of the effects were annoying in an already annoying game. The light hazard from Infinity Mijinion's stage makes Rainy Turtloid's unplayable.

not him but
>beat chill penguin, flame mammoth's stage gets frozen
>beat storm eagle, spark mandrill's stage gets fucked by the former's ship

Thanks for reply but I meant what said. I now remember. That was a pretty cool thing but doesn't seem like too big of a loss.

Oh, my mistake then. The other one is that Launch Octopus' stage floods Sting Chameleon's stage.

Zero 3 is only noticeably easy compared to 2 if you equip parts like a casual. Real men beat it naked. Omega is also the hardest final boss in the series.

X5 z saber has the armageddon slash so its actually better.

Megaman X has been dead since X5 in my opinion and the series is more hit than miss

X5 has a terrible presentation considering how good X4's was (It had good production values outside the shitty voice acting) and the backtraking makes it a chore to play

X3 is fucking boring and nothing happens plotwise, all the bosses have the same pattern and the game goes from laughably easy to stupidly hard in many sections

X6 is a terrible game with redeeming qualities, i had more fun with it than i had with X3 for example but i wouldn't recommend it to anyone

X7 is hideous to look at and plays like shit

X8 may be the last good game in the X series, but it was a dead series at that point. I haven't played X2 so i can't comment on it

I meant to say more MISS than HIT

>reminder that you can do this to him with the Twin Slasher: youtube.com/watch?v=72jPnfy6v4s

What the fuck were they thinking?

They weren't

That's right, X3 did do that. How do you trigger the ship that arrives in Blast Hornet's stage, though? I remember doing that once or twice, the second time wrecking the supplies with the Ride Armor you freed after getting Tunnel Rhino's weapon.

Man, that shit was cool.

Try Romnation.net or coolroms.com

To add on to this, the elevator in Vile's factory is powered if you beat Volt Catfish first. Plus, if you defeat Vile with his weakness, Doppler stage 2 is flooded and the enemy layout is changed.

Post chill Christmas music.

It's the little things that count, though.

Little things grow into bigger things.

Is it just me or is this series hard? I know it's not as hard as the megaman games, I think I suck though. I have the collection for gamecube collecting dust. Any tips to get better at this game?

>X3 is fucking boring and nothing happens plotwise
>playing for the plot

Practice and patience. There's not much to it more than that.

The Classic games are arguably harder for not having the dash or wall-kicking, and the Zero games are arguably harder for the overall design and smaller screen.

>all the bosses have the same pattern and the game goes from laughably easy to stupidly hard in many sections
If it keeps you on your toes like that, then I'd hardly call it boring.

Yes i'm still mad, nothing fucking happens until X4

you are too idiot for download roms user

>3 megaman threads in 24 hours
man this has been a fun fuckin time

in the first thread i dropped prototype versions of the x series for anons to experience

user playing X3 was blown away at some shit in it

If anyone would like to experience them I have the following
>Command Mission E3 Demo
>X7 Trail Build (dont play if youre epileptic, im warning you)
>X6 Prototype (most content complete but has some fucked up oddities. no armors, still buggy, high max cannot be damaged by zero at al)
>X5 Trial Build (no alia yet so this is enough reason to play)
>X4 Sample Build (minor changes, only 2 bosses implemented
>X3 Sample Build (so much bullshit that i'll just link the tcrf page tcrf.net/Proto:Mega_Man_X3_(SNES) )

>following storm eagle's ship while you evade the destruction it causes in the city
that would have been cool as fuck

Wait, is the ship in the intro stage the one Storm Eagle rides?

>The big surprise that Dr. Wily is not included!
Oh you sweet summer child.

Depends on the game, but even if you're a scrub as long as you start with the right boss you can get powerful enough to tank everything. Any specific one you are having trouble with?

How much the X5 trial build cover?

Speaking of cool as fuck: youtube.com/watch?v=w_cALNP0pFM

intro, grizzly, squid, rex, whale

X or Zero - Zero being still broken as all fuck, which in this case is the direct reason hes broken in x6.

Also no Alia

mediafire.com/file/mwksvbk0jps0g08/Rockman_X5_Pre-release_Trial.rar

I like X7, though. It has many flaws but also bring some new experiment and pretty fun to play on some stages.
The music is better than X8.

Which is the first X game where the series really jumped the shark?

X2.

Either 3 or 4.

X7 for me

x5 was supposed to be the last X game. That's why we get Black Devil and Ranga Banga. Also, its heavily implied that Wily was the virus the entire time, and killing Sigma destroys the virus.

X6, due to hilarious translation errors and almost fucking up the entire canon.

youtube.com/watch?v=CaRwxM_OiG8

FINISH THE GAME,DAMN YOU. I WANT MY COOL SEMI-OPEN WORLD MEGAMAN X RPG

So what the fuck happened to Axl and other Maverick Hunters during the "Elf war"?

No matter how much they tried to force MMZ plot, I always has feeling that X7 and forward is different universe.

>Blizzard Buffalo doesn't seem to have his infamous wall-hugging glitch in this build.
Oh boy.

>if hit for damage that takes 6 bars
>they take a knee for 3.77 seconds

He probably died. Simple as that.

>BR is the main guy in charge of the game
>BR MMX fans are happy a fellow countryman is doing something good that people from the entire world are excited about
>Ends up sperging about how this isn't a BR game and wants nothing to do with the country

Kek. BRs are such self hating pussies.

What the fuck? I've never seen anyone do this before. Those sprites of Web Spider on the ground are completely new to me. Pretty awesome, though I'm happy you can still use Twin Slasher on him and not have to wait for the incredibly long animation to finish

That's kind of a neat thing, reminds me of Rondo of Blood or Symphony of the Night. However, 3.77 seconds is a little too much.

yeah pretty much what said, he got a fragment of lumine's tentacle thing on his crystal, so the next course of action would have been him turning maverick.
probably his death was the last fight before the elf-wars, maybe the tentacle mutated and form something that it later turned into a cyber elf which killed the sigma/maverick virus, then zero went to sleep, and then weil enters the stage

In memoriam: youtube.com/watch?v=6e94MruCupg

Eclipse could've been a decent MMX fangame. It didn't deserve to die with the OUYA. At least it had a demo.

YOU DONT SAY

i can't find anything about that story, the closest thing it has is that the first build will only be in english.
yes i'm BR if it's in portugese show it to me

Holy shit is that how you're supposed to use Twin Slasher on him? I should've known I was doing something wrong long ago.

Actually, it's not that bad. There are few enemies that can do that much damage to you in one hit (the only one I found were those bouncing golems in Blizzard Buffalo and Tunnel Rhino's stage), and
>Some bosses, like Gravity Beetle or Blizzard Buffalo, will pause their assault and let X/Zero recover, should they take a knee in their presence.

I'm Br too and unfortunately can't show you proof since it was years ago and I'm not sure where I saw it happening. Maybe it was on the facebook page or comments from some of the videos.

But you probably know I'm being legit because we're naturally self hating enough to pull dumb shit like this off.

>mavericks being kind
ITS A TRICK
DONT LET THE MAVERICKS FOOL YOU

Would Megaman 8 be considered good if it wasn't for the awkwardly hilarious english dub?

This explain is not satisfied at all.

But I guess that is everything we got (or assuming). I still keep my oppinion that X7 X8 and XCM is another universe. They fucked storyline since X6, though, so I don't care.

It's decent, but I don't think a better dub would have saved it. I'd rather argue that it's more fondly remembered BECAUSE of the dub.

I consider it good because the weapons are well-rounded and strong, and that's what I look for in a Megaman game. I definitely like it more than 7.

Yeah, you're right. I think it's a great W-Megaman.

>I definitely like it more than 7.
It wasn't that bad. Although. Pretty much most the special weapons were kinda useless.

>over 10 thousand views
>but 1/3 of the likes are dislikes
Jeez, what happened here?

You can also do this to him. It's not even a TAS-specific thing, you can do it with a quick finger. Start at 36:55

>Megaman Legends came out right around this same time
>had infinitely better voice acting

The fug happened?

different teams of capcom

MM8 and X4 had the same people doing voices as I recall, both coming out in 1997 in NA. Legends' NA release was in 1998, a full year after X4.

>W-Megaman
Heh.

I'm not saying Megaman 7 was bad, I liked it too. I just remember liking 8 more, regardless of the occasional bad gimmick.

>>Megaman Legends came out right around this same time
It came out a year after, but I forgot about how fucking frequently Megaman games used to come out.

It just seems weird. Legends was the 3D game that sony mandated to show off their playstation hardware, while Capcom wanted to continue traditional sidescrollers. Seems weird they'd put more effort into the mandated project.

>I forgot about how fucking frequently Megaman games used to come out.

Reminder that G4 Icons had a Megaman Segment

Watch it and compare it to now

youtube.com/watch?v=gqWdTgRy0Cc

Sony just wanted a reason to have special versions for their systems

Inafune himself said he had the most fun working on Legends, so I imagine it meant more to them than just a mandated thing.

Not only that, but Sony basically asked Capcom to release 8 and X4 on PS1, and not just Saturn.

It sucks because, for the most part, I think the Saturn had the better version of MM8. Especially the music.
