I'm currently emulating Mega Men 1 for the NES. I've played video gameas my whole life and this boss just rekt me like 100 times. I didn't savescum through the fight, but without the quicksave before the start of the fight, I wouldn't even try. Holy fuck. Am I a brainlet, retarded or just shit at vidya?
The platforms are 100x harder than the actual bosses
Cooper Torres
Which game?
Blake Nelson
I agree OP, I too lack a brain stem. Surprised you were even able to type that post.
Colton Evans
Mario 4
Elijah Gonzalez
How long did you try until you could beat him? You have to do the whole fucking game again if you lose all your lifes. I would never beat him without quicksave
Mega Men for the NES
Jace Wilson
Dark Souls 2D
Joseph Peterson
Like 4 tries I was doing it on the pc bundle version so there were no quick saves
Thomas Anderson
Same here. I've beat every souls game without a problem but I'm shit at MM
Austin Wright
I needed like 30 to be honest. Fuck
Kevin Parker
will this be the day Sup Forums becomes self-aware
Jason Garcia
lmao just use the pause trick
Bentley Mitchell
Just close your eyes for a few before you try it again. The pattern is like playing simon says.
Bentley Walker
btw here is proof that I beat him
Jaxson Anderson
Facing against Final Form Frieza in Xenoverse two. I don't understand quite how to recover from a toss. I uninstalled it but I'm willing to try again if I could just fucking learn how.
Anthony Diaz
Which pause trick?
James Martinez
I left games like a year ago because muh studies, then now that i'm on vacation i tried to play some Touhou and trying to do 1cc again
I fucking failed at the stage 3
I can't see some bullets because my eyes are fucked by no sleeping (doing models, architect), and i can't difference some colors, even in real life
I miss not having responsabilities
Tyler Clark
Not that hard really. You just have to learn the pattern to jumping over the blocks he throws out. And this is coming from someone who beat 1-3 for the first time on the Legacy Collection like 3 years ago.
Ryan Clark
Megaman 1-3 are a special kind of difficult for me, I've beaten plenty of other hard games, even other Megaman games that are supposed to be equal in diffficulty or even harder, like the Zero games for example, but these 3 are just practically impossible for me.
Everyone of these anons who say this boss is fucking ez does the pause glitch i garuntee it
Liam Diaz
Just memorize the pattern, if you're too much of a scrub you can kill him really quick if you shoot the lightning attack and mash pause.
You wouldn't have to do the entire game again, you'd just have to utilize the ever tedious password system.
Asher Allen
MM1 have some program issues and yellow devil is a tricky boss the first time, don't worry you'll git gud.
Every time when playing online btw.
Gavin Ramirez
>Mega Man 1 >Password system
Parker Rogers
I think in mega man games you're supposed to do the bosses in a certain order because they're all weak to certain power ups. I've only played 9 though so it's just a guess.
Caleb Evans
when I couldn't get past the guards in sunny villa of spyro 3 because I was afraid of dying so like when i was 4
Michael Bell
>The moment you learned you're shit at video games
I haven't met her yet. I'm sure she will show up when my reaction time goes to crap.
Josiah Hernandez
>Game give you take a boss in any order you want >in mega man games you're supposed to do the bosses in a certain order
Just no. The correct order is the one you want to do, bosses weakness chain is part of learning the game wich you do by playing it.
Josiah Reyes
You only get to this boss AFTER you beat all the other bosses. You have all boss power ups at this point. They don't really help here though
Angel Flores
I'm also bad at video games, but I eventually got him down. It's all in memorizing the pattern. He repeats it regularly, so your muscle memory will eventually pick it up even if you don't I also eased in with a progressive challenge, started by using elecman's weapon so I didn't really have to worry about aiming, then I tried with the default blaster.
Joseph Sanders
>not with the buster
Jace Sullivan
>I didn't savescum through the fight >but i quicksaved right before it
there's your problem, You quicksaved at all. You probably abused quicksaves to get through most of the levels, denying yourself the experience of getting better. You're trying to rush through the game to claim you've "beaten it" but you'll never have beaten it if you used savestates. You might as well savescum through the boss fight so you can see the ending, or save yourself some time and watch someone beat it on youtube.
Liam Ortiz
Iceman with the buster is tough
Austin Scott
MM1 is my favorite in the whole series. And yes, this boss is ridiculously difficult compared to the rest.
If you attack with the Thunder Beam (the boss weakness) and quickly pause/unpause the game, you deal damage multiple times and can even finish the fight with one blow.
Caleb Ross
Did you used the pause glitch?
Samuel Watson
>Mfw played this without knowing about the glitch
William Hernandez
Depends on how you want to play the game. Using all the weaknesses is easy mode, buster only is for those who want extra challenge.
Jacob Walker
>image of anime girl drooling we other ???s around her What?
Joseph Mitchell
Good, you beat it like a man.
Nathaniel Wilson
That's a good thing, though. On my first 3 playthroughs i was pausefagging, but now i don't need it anymore.
Jaxson Evans
>image of anime girl drooling we other ???s around her The fuck?
Gabriel Garcia
>You're trying to rush through the game to claim you've "beaten it" but you'll never have beaten it if you used savestates. Reading comprehension? >without the quicksave before the start of the fight, I wouldn't even try
I'm not claiming anything. This is the thread where I ADMIT to be shit. Atleast I'm not the only brainlet here
Michael Collins
is the collection on ps2 easier or something? i only ever beat the 8 first megaman games there some years ago and didn't think it was really hard
Jonathan Brooks
Sorry I had a stroke
Jonathan Thompson
The moment I tried twin snakes and found out I am too shit to do anything and keep dying nad getting caught in every fucking room I am so fucking bad fuck shit FUCK
Leo Robinson
He probably doesn't have the image, I know what he's talking about
>If you attack with the Thunder Beam (the boss weakness) and quickly pause/unpause the game, you deal damage multiple times and can even finish the fight with one blow. HOW should a new player know about this? And WHY should he use this unintended glitch? Why not just use cheats at this point?
Jordan Cooper
I can no longer beat most NES games I beat as a kid. Worse, I no longer understand how the hell I beat them then. Getting old sucks.
Levi Ross
And buster only, except for that part.
Samuel Rodriguez
Me too, and went all out with only the buster the entire game.
Jaxon Thomas
Back then you had the time, patience, and will to get through them. The bodies kept piling up but you didn't quit. You got this anons.
Owen Thompson
>no longer understand how the hell I beat them then. Getting old sucks. Older games had more trial and error. You literally had to play the same game dozens and dozens of times until learning all the tricks and being able to just muscle memory your way to the ending. Even folks here on their 20s won't have the attention spam to deal with this shit, they will stop after dying once or twice them come back to shitpost on Sup Forums because they lost the desire to play
Them again it could just be me projecting but that is how it usually goes for me when I play most NES games.
John Sanchez
It's a notorious glitch, but by no means is a normal player expected to discover and exploit it. Capcom obviously didn't.
Jayden Ward
>You have to do the whole fucking game again if you lose all your lifes What, no you don't. You've got unlimited continues to start from Wily stage 1 again.
Hudson Bell
A normal Mega Man 1 run isn't too hard but if you bustered Elec Man I'm impressed
Evan Reyes
>equal in diffficulty or even harder, like the Zero games You kidding?
Jonathan Brown
>Yellow Devil >is actually orange Why not just call him Orange Devil?
Luke Butler
I love the games but Zero 1 will always kick my shit in.
William Campbell
Elec man is a joke with buster. Step forward, wait until he raises his arms, then shoot. Wait for him to walk back into place and raise his arms, then shoot him again. Repeat until he's dead
Carter Davis
He wasn't supposed to be orange but there's no yellow on the NES palette
Brody Bailey
What a pussy.
>Getting hit even.
MM games aren't really hard, perfectly beatable with the default weapon. Wily is the only one where you need weapons.
William Howard
>He wasn't supposed to be orange but there's no yellow on the NES palette wtf I hate Nintendo now
Jack Jones
I read what you typed. I'm saying everything you are doing is pointless. you tell yourself shit like "at least i didn't savescum the boss" but you've already tainted your playthrough so it's a meaningless distinction. Using savestates at all means you're getting the same quality of experience as the people who watch people play through the game on youtube.
Josiah Roberts
No yellow on the NES palette. Just a spectrum from Beige to Orange to Brown.
Caleb Morales
How does a normal player discover this playing by himself? There is just so much shit and arbitrary stuff you have to know to play Mega Men games. You can't just jump in and have fun
Gabriel Price
who cares get a life nerd
Nathan Phillips
Something like this?
Brandon Morgan
why do you care so much if i care?
Ryan Ortiz
If you're talking about me then I discovered it by accident. But it's not essential, especially when his weakness is the easiest robot master in the game
Jonathan Walker
By playing the game and paying attention to overcome the presented challenge, like good videogames, doing what regular millenials can't do. By literally getting gud.
Connor Phillips
Because this was normal. You threw yourself at whatever came your way, fought your hardest, and learned from your mistakes. Or you threw bodies at the problem until you won, then figured shit out later.
Ethan Garcia
>try to buster only MM1 >freak out when the boss walks towards you >can't tell when you are supposed to jump through him or not Yet somehow I managed to beat fucking Enker in the GB games, I don't get it.
Easton Flores
He's not that bad. I'd argue he's not even the hardest "Devil" fight in the Mega Man games. plus as far as I know, he's also the only one with a glitch that makes it super easy to cheese through, if you can't do the fight legit.
Jaxson Sanchez
Only if you fuck up the jumps, doesn't help that Iceman can kill you in 3 hits justs like Elecman.
Isaac Jones
>Iceman with the buster is tough This. Timing for him is pretty strict if you want to jump between his projectiles just right.
Angel Martinez
right there with you buddy this, I still refuse to give up, but games that put a shitton of puzzles and shit in the way or have really cryptic level design, i end up just giving up and noclipping through them looking at you Jedi Outcast
I hate getting older, I wouldn't even have tried to do this as a kid.
Joseph Cruz
this
Joseph Green
>Because this was normal. You threw yourself at whatever came your way, fought your hardest, and learned from your mistakes
>make small mistake >another small mistake >die >repeat
It would literally take hours and hours to figure something out by yourself
Alexander Gray
If you haven't played a lot of games like these before then it's a huge change from most modern ones. Jumping and dodging doesn't translate the same way when going from 2D to 3D so if you're used to 3D games it's a lot to learn.
You just need to memorize the pattern of him moving across the screen though, if you have the controls down once you do that it's pretty easy.
Grayson Peterson
If you can't beat one boss then go back to the level select screen and see if you can beat any of the other stages. Eventually something's gonna give somewhere and once you come back you'll be more skilled and have more weapons too. It's part of what makes playing a Mega Man you haven't played before so much fun.
Adam Reyes
how old are you? I was pretty shit at Megaman games and other sidescrollers that weren't Sonic or Mario when I was a kid, but had a big renaissance in my early adult years where I got good at them.
Megaman just comes down to patience and learning patterns. Yellow Devil is, in fact, easy to dodge, just jump when the bottom two squares are thrown at you.
Austin Gonzalez
>You now realize that procs ruined your reflexes
Back in the day there was no shine/exclamation sign/whatever to warn you of an incoming attack, all you had was your own instinct to recognize patterns/animations and react accordingly.
Nobody told you you had to jump on the goomba.
Aiden Taylor
Consider the following: people from previous generations weren't as brainlet like the actual generation.
Reminder; kids were able to beat this.
Sebastian Diaz
What would be the hardest in megaman? I always hated the block devil in 10
Nolan Wilson
>he gets fucking knocked out of thunder beam and stunlocked god damn it
Joshua Jenkins
No shame in mashing Start, my friend
Blake Baker
Beat the original Zelda not long ago and I just used a guide for everything except the dungeons (the last one being an exception). Turned out to still be a very challenging game and the amount of Rupee farming made me wonder how people would even get through that blind back in the day.
Ryan Morgan

I can understand your point. And it's cool that there are so many Mega Men games for fans who like exactly this gamedesign. It's just not fun for me to just do the same over and over and over and over again until i find something out by accident. I hope you understand. I'm not talking shit about this game though
Jose Perez
I can beat this boss with only the buster. I can beat all the robot masters from 1, 2, and 3 with the buster consistently and that's playing 2 on the real difficulty. I did the Mega Man 9 boss rush as fucking Proto Man, buster only no e-tanks. Yellow Devil is child's play git gud and catch up
Josiah Foster
I always held that Shadow Devil in X5 was the biggest bitch to deal with
Liam Ortiz
we were those kids we beat it because we had infinite time and patience to do so, now I'm in my fucking mid 20s, have no time, no patience and no willpower to deal with horseshit anymore.
there's nothing wrong with using a guide since there isn't a proper map for you to use.
Joseph Lewis
Is it just me being shit or is Megaman & Bass fairly difficult compared to the rest of the series
Cameron Hill
mid 20s
Jose Brooks
The moment I tried playing fighting games. It's multilayered
>I'm mediocre to begin with >the community at large says my favorite games are shit >I don't understand the mechanics behind the popular games
Adrian Campbell
>since there isn't a proper map for you to use. Zelda has, sorta of. The map isn't that hard to memorize anyways.
Hunter Cook
Apparently I only beat this on easy mode with the GCN collection. I guess you can try that version.
Ian Stewart
Over 160 hours in SFV, cant get out of bronze I just don't get how to play the game
Gabriel Anderson
Even now people is still arguing about wether you should tackle the original Zelda blindly, many argue that you are supossed to be guided by the map included with the game.
Really? I'd rank it among the easiest games in the series if not the easiest one.
