>What's your favorite platformer?
Mega Man Zero 4
>What's your favorite levels or segments in levels?
The opening of above, I like pretty much any level where the set is moving, aside from forced scrolling shit
>Who's your favorite platformer dude and what makes his jumping so cool?
Zero and afterimages when you dash before a jump
>Which has the best platforms and scenery and why is jumping on stuff so comfy?
Yoshi's Island always had nice sets

I've never played a platformer as tight as Z3+Z4 and likely never will. Having point defense with the saber and the buster for long range is a world of difference from anything else. Basically you can constantly be on the move and attacking, Zero isn't slow and he doesn't need a wind up to put hits in.

BN is good until 2. Used to love 3 back in the day but it's just a huge grind to do anything in. Each entry reducing your chips to zilch and acting like you never played the series before is also a criminal shame.

>Classic
Capcom too dumb to continue releasing them yearly in Classic style (or a Mega Man Maker)
>X
Doesn't build on last game's weapons/armor naturally, have to use cheats to unlock what you should already have, inconsistent plotlines
>Zero
First two games stumble all over the place, series is cancelled when 3+4 finally ramp things up. Best combat and movement system never used again.
>ZX
"Let's take the best combat system and make it retarded!"/play as Omega, but he controls like shit!
>Legends
Actually good series with lots of potential, doesn't sell like SF2, cancelled
>Battle Network
Make perfect game in 2, continue to make sequels that force the player through the same tutorials and act like last game(s) didn't happen, while having ungodly levels of grind
>SF
"Let's take a nearly perfect battle system and make it retarded!"
