X2 is great but falls just short of X1 in some regards

Last level is bizarre with how its just a copy+paste of regular level. I've always wondered if there's a lore justification; Like, is it literally the same place, or is one modeled after the other? Real answer is likely just that Capcom ran out of time ofc, but regardless it feels cheap and is a blemish on an otherwise great game

Wheel Gator is a boring boss and I hate having to fight him

Most subweapons aren't nearly as fun to use as in X1

Otherwise X2 does a lot of great shit - Sound and presentation are on par with X1, starting you off with the dash means level design can properly make use of it, and the X hunters gives it a nice little extra replayability since it encourages breaking boss weakness patterns

Overall its not quite as good as X1 imo but its damn close, easily my second favorite in the series

Unironically a top-tier MM game, but I'm probably biased since its the first one I played. Its tied with 9 and 10 for me as the best classic entry.

Besides, there's nothing in MM&B thats harder than the Wily Machine in 7

Probably, but I don't even see it needing 8s engine; Just having it officially be a mainline game on a home console would have made it more notorious. Hell, if it had been officially released for the SNES in the west as is I imagine it would be a fan favorite. To this day it only officially exists in the west as a GBA port.

>Larger FOV
Game is designed around the smaller FOV in the first place so this is redundant.

>Redbook audio and richer color palette
mite b cool but its not like the SNES version sounds or looks bad - If anything its an end of generation showstopper for the machine

>Anime cutscenes and voice acting
Considering Capcom only ever did this for X4 and 8 + I imagine M&B was a more budget title this probably wouldn't have happened

I really can't bring myself to hate X6. Sure, its hard and some of its level design is downright Romhack tier, but something about it just makes me enjoy the fuck out of it

I don't even go out of my way to do any exploits, I just play it normally and have a great time

I understand some might perceive it as trolling, but I genuinely prefer it to X4 and X5.

Its weird, I get that X6 has all this hate towards it but I genuinely can't bring myself to dislike it - In fact, its unironically my favorite of the PSX games

I recently replayed it. Sure, some level design is a bit lazy, but its never Kaizo levels of autism outside of that one bit in the first fortress level
