There is only ONE correct answer

There is only ONE correct answer.

Fio

TREVOR

The one that has big boobs in concept and fan art right?

Didnt the guy who did the art for this game go insane

How can I replay this without getting that shit anthology on the Wii?

Tarma

Idea! Fallout metroidvania that plays like a Metal Slug game. Would you play it?

fio is for waifu fags (with taste)
tarma is the patrician choice
marco is normal fags
eri is.....

neo geo emulator. you can even play online with a buddy

Tarma

all mine!

Is Cuphead harder then this

they all rook same

Tarma is the cool guys' choice.

they look like theyve seen some shit

This.

Cuphead is harder than DoDonpachi DaiOuJou Death Label

Eri so when you're playing Metal Slug 3 she can get captured and you have to fight all the clones of her where when they die their clothes melt off and you can see their boobs.

The perfect answer

Nothing is harder than DOJ Death Label except maybe 陰蜂

Story escalated quickly in these games

>Age 20
>Looks 27

Eri all day every day.

Marco when you just want to play and don't care who you play as
Tarma when you want to play with style
Fio when you tell your friends that you aren't gay and just want to look at a girl
Eri for contrarians

>contrarians contrarians contrarians
being an snk fag is a contrarian when there's a better game developer capcom out there

Why has there not been a 2D platform shooter as good as MS3?
Cuphead is OK, merely decent, it's mostly carried by a unique artstyle and multi-phase bosses

Depends on the game. In 6 you have to use Fio because she's the only one who gets enough boolets to keep up with the enemy density without dying to refill grenades or mashing your finger off shooting the pistol.

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

A METAL SLUG THREAD

YEAH

Favorite character? Favorite mission? How's your 1cc coming along?

>hiroshima
>bomber girl
Is this what that Muslim girl in Hunie pop is an omage to?

will we ever get a 2d platform shooter as good as metal slug x and ms 3?

>OKAY
>OKAY
>ROCKET LAWNCHAIR

Marco, then Fio, then Tarma, then Eri, then Marco again.
Can't 1cc to save my life.

Is slug X good?

DUMPAN MAGAZINE SCANS FROM NEO GEO FREAK I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT FOR THE LONGEST TIME AND YOU PROBABLY HAVEN'T EITHER

I really wish these games had a checkpoint system. I don't like the idea of spawning right where I died

...

For waifu fags with actual taste.

FIO
I
O

...

...

AND THAT'S IT

cool, huh?

A lot of thought and detail went into these games. Did it ever get a proper arcade cabinet in Japan or something?

NOPE! The whole appeal of the neo geo cabinet was that it had more games in it with less space to take up.

Also the next time you see anyone complaining about how they CAN'T make the next metal slug because they don't have a large group of people to make the graphics then you just show them the credits:

SIX PEOPLE FOR DESIGN. SIX.

Fio solo
Tarma bro-op

No other way.

Fio

They clearly put their soul into that fucking spritework man. Blood, sweat, and tears. Also, tarma a best

>Hamster has released Metal Slug 2 on PS4 but not Metal Slug X
WHY, MSX IS THE BETTER VERSION OF THE GAME

Never could take this character seriously, his name literally means "ass" in arabic ...

Only eleven more years until Metal Slug is a reality.

Best girl, muh nigga

It's okay, his real name is - the even more absurd - Tarmicle.

>that feeling when you first 1CC a level

I can consistently get to the end of MS3 o a single credit, but the last corridor always breaks me.

I just started practicing MS1 1CC. I can get up to stage three without needing to use a continue. Not great, but.

Also, great artist.

it's nice isn't it?
the last corridor is easy but it's more of a stamina thing at that point.

I wonder what those design gods are up to now...

It's wild how different Eri and Fio look on this than in other official art.

>not going Fio and masturbating to the death animations

So fast, so true

Tarma is the only obvious choice, the thinking mans choice.

Leona

O_o

7 blows.

But Leona is in XX.

You know what I mean!

*wwalks into thread*

hey guys its me, eri

Eri is also good.

All of the metal sluggers are great. They're the best. Not Nadia and Trevor though, they are just not as cool!

Back in highschool I got to a point where I was 1cc'ing MS1 daily. I'd die once to the last boss, but that's it. The entire high score board was mine. Keep in mind it took months and silly amounts of quarters to get that good. First time I beat the game it cost me 5 bucks.
Nowadays I can make it to the boss of lvl 3 consistently, and can make it deep into lvl 4 on a good day.

I understood that reference.
*hangs self*

MS2/X > MS = MS5 > MS3 = MS7/XX >> MS4 >>>>>>>>>> MS6

No.

Metal Slug has consumed more digital lives than Cuphead ever will.

MSX > MS > MS3 > Haven't played the other MS games in so long that I can't really rank them

Tarma is the best boy. Look at those shades man.

>No reload animation

>Tarma
>Metal Slug: X
>Act 3 on one credit

Act 4 always fucked me.

When the Metal Slug collection released on PS2 me and my older brother 1CC'd Metal Slug 3. Shit was intense man.

Does everyone play with autofire on? My finger feels like it's about to drop off

MS3 > MSX > MS2 > MS1 > MS6 > MS4/MS5 > MS7/XX

Metal Slug 3 is literally the BEST Metal Slug with the most stuff in it and the best finale in video games ever. It's only weak point is how fugging LONG and tiring it is but besides that it's the best game ever.

I personally don't care for how WACKY MS3 gets at times, and the last stage is way too fucking long. MS2/MSX had a great balance of silly stuff like the zombies and aliens with the military, but MS3 is all crazy all the time. The first Metal Slug is also much more fun to play to me for whatever reason. I like how it's more of a military-styled run and gun without all the superfluous shit that shows up in later MS games.

no

FPBP

Tarma is for player 2

3 > X > 1 > 5 > who cares
Special mention to Gun Force 2 for being better than everything post-MS3.

This. I was only ever Tarma if I was in 2p and Fio was taken

this

Are any of the post-3 games worth playing? I've played 1/2 /3 /X a ton but stopped there.

Huh. That big thing that chases you up the stone tower in 2 and X is like a big mechanical snake thing.

6 is good. easy but the most competent past 3.

Yeah! Fits with the level and everything

MS5 has great music

5 even if it was rushed and the slide fucks up your jump shooting.
7/XX only for combat school and Cindy. Rest of it is boring.

>liam is gone
>woolie will never finish the metal slug series

>1CC a level
Do you also feel proud when you manage to dress your autistic self every morning?

you guys are shit. Metal Slug 1 is by the far the easiest. I can beat Metal Slug 3 with out dying. Get good faggots.

I don't think it's that big of a loss, e-celebs can't fully appreciate something like Metal Slug without actually trying to get good at it.
