Probably 2 or 4.

I had more problems with 2 mostly because >muh slide.

>>1272153
In terms of difficulty : 1>3>4>2>6>5

>>1272162
Actually, yes.

Is all about sliding.

>>1272160
I actually made a typo in the OP, i meant to say that I thought 2 was easiest. You really thought 3 was easier than 2? The Doc Robots fuck me up pretty badly

1 and 3

Imagine all the fractured ass Elecman alone was responsible for, making all those kids swear off the series forever.

>>1272165
This.
>mfw 3 is my favorite NES Mega Man game

>>1272162
I thought that. 3 is a bastard compared to 2.

I'm finding 4 to be a fucking bitch at the minute, what's a good level to start with?

>>1272203
I usually start with Toad Man.

>>1272203
Pharaoh Man IMO.

Dive Man is good too, but he can be a huge cunt with buster only.

I've always had the most trouble with 1, personally.

>>1272203
>>1272206
>>1272207


Toad man, if you place it right he just stands there and takes it like a bitch.

Pharoah man always fucks me up, it was the first time I came across a non flat boss room floor. And he still fucking ruins me occasionally.

>>1272206

>>1272220
Thanks guys, I'm giving Toadman a go. I'm getting my shit slapped by the stage, but I think I'm just rusty because I haven't played video games for a while. And using the keyboard doesn't help either

Well I managed to beat Pharoah Man With 2 Energy Tanks

>>1272251

If it's good enough for the Kacho, it's good enough for you, I guess.

>>1272254
Which Megaman games has Arino played? I know he's done 1, has he done 2/3 as well?

>>1272260

1 through 4. Gratuitous E-Can abuse ensued in 3 and 4.

>>1272265
Truly only the Japanese can play like this, the guy kept killing himself and maxing them out.

>IKAN

I was watching a 24 hour megaman stream earlier http://www.twitchtv/energytank01

On Megaman 3 if anyone is interested and wants something to watch, they suck though.

1 was a joke.

Yes I cheated.

>>1272302
>He's being um-unusual
>Oh wow, fuck you too
Such charisma

For me, 1 is the hardest. I've never beaten it, I can't beat a single stage.

I've beaten 2 around 50 times and I can beat it in under an hour. I've beaten it on difficult once.

I beat 3 once, but I don't count it because I was using save states. I tried again recently to beat it and I couldn't. I think I got to the Dr. Wily stages but could pass them.

Of the others for NES, the only one I've beaten is 6. It was really, REALLY easy. My friend and I beat it in a day and it was the first time we had played it.

Come on anon, Cut Man isn't so bad is he

>>1272872
>I can't beat a single stage.
Bomb Man, nigga.

>>1272872
>I can't beat a single stage
I was you a couple months ago. Now I can beat them all. It's just this bastard between me and victory.

Personally I always struggle the most on 1, but that's because it feels kind of janky to me compared to the later games which I played first.

>>1272983
What the fuck did you just say, nigger?

>>1273139
You're not even a real doctor.

>>1273150
Don't talk shit.

You didn't think I was gonna come see you, faggot? After that shit you said?

Alright.

>>1272203
I like to start with Pharaoh Man and then Skull Man to load up on E's.

I don't really think any of them are very hard. 3 is pretty long so that could be a problem. 1 has some tough spots. Going through the gauntlet of Robot Masters towards the end can be rough.

>>1272153
Megaman 1 is definitely by far the hardest: besides the obvious lack of E tanks and save features; there's also things like enemy placement, faster falling, insta kill spikes (even with post-hit invincibility), and the footholder glitch peppered in as well.

1.
All the other games have workarounds in the forms of Rush assists or E-Tanks. 1 has that shitty magnet beam that runs out after 1 attempt and can fuck you over easily compared to Rush Jet or even Item No. 2.

And there's also those boss rushes, unless you abuse the elec beam like the little bitch that you are.

2 is a close comparison, but it's a lot fair in it's mechanics and trick areas, plus, it has e-tanks.

Everything after 2 is a joke.

I feel like Im the only person who likes 4. Its my favorite. best stages, best power ups, best bosses, best wiley stages.

2 is good but the wiley stages were fucking terrible and ruin the last part of the game for me

>>1274626
4 is my fav as well of the original ones. Only 9 beat it.

>>1274626
4's my 2nd favorite classic Mega Man game.

I'm really struggling with Toad Man guys, any tips?

>>1277490
Everytime his stomach lights up hes going to use rain flush. You can cancel it with a charged shot. Once you get the timing down you canto beat him without him ever getting an attack off

>>1277496
I was having a giggle, I beat him first time. The other bosses are actually slapping my shit though, what level should I do after Pharoah/Toad Man? I'm clearing Skull Mans stage pretty easily but having trouble killing him

>>1277516
>Barrier Bosses
Truly worse than Hitler, or at least grater than a Microhitler S.I.

I did Dive Man after Pharaoh Man, he's a prick though but at least he has the decency of not using a barrier.

>>1273086
I had to use the pause glitch to beat him. When I think about it now it's more of a memorization thing for when he moves from one side to another but I just didn't have the patience at the time after getting killed a million times.

>>1277516
Gotcha gotcha.
Bright mans stage is a bitch but he himself is a joke. I usually do him after toad man if you havent yet

The boss energy fill-up sequences in MM4 are so ridiculously long they they feel like borderline-parody.

Definitely 1. I beat 3 (bought when it came out) and got to dr. wily in 2 (rented from blockbuster) when I was little. With 1, I got no where close to the end of the game until just recently

>>1277543
I've never noticed this
No doubt I will when I next play it though

>>1277675
It didn't occur to me until I was in my 20s. Just something always seemed off until I realized that the meters take forever to fill up in relation to all of the other Mega Man games.

It's not an NES one, but Megaman and Bass was pretty fucking hard too.

>MFW 5 bosses in one stage

>>1277995
>Burner Man
>King Stage 2
Fuck this shit, man.

>>1274626
The soundtrack is fantastic. I feel it's underrated since everyone only remembers 2 and 3's OST.

I've beat all 6 on the NES, no savestates (that makes difficulty simple as hell) and I'd say 2 is the easiest, 1 is a bit of a bitch, and for some reason, 4 gave me a bit of trouble too.

>>1277490
with toadman, literally stand next to him, and shoot him. he'll jump over you. change directions, shoot, he'll jump to the opposite side of you. shoot. he'll jump again to the opposite side. it's simple as hell. you don't even have to move.

>>1277490
as soon as the battle starts, start shooting. when he gets hit, he jumps over you and lands. turn and shoot him. he'll jump over you again and land on the other side. shoot him immediately. he'll repeat this pattern of jumping over you, just make sure you turn and start shooting the second he jumps and his life will drop like the bitch he is.

>>1278139
I was joking dude, thanks though
I remember seeing this video on Youtube called "15 hardest boss battles" or something and it was 15 minutes of the Toad Man fight on loop, was pretty funny

Pro tip for folks playing the first Mega Man:

If you hold down the fire key, you can extend your Magnet Beam to any distance at no extra cost! Careful though, it lasts for the same amount of time as it would if you only pressed the button for a moment!

I actually did have a little difficulty with Toadman because he was so hyped up on being easy. I assumed he would jump a distance after being hit, but he jumped right on me and hit like a tank.

>>1278170
>I actually did have a little difficulty with Toadman

>>1274626
4 is my favorite one too.

It's so sad that most people act like 1-3 are the only ones worth playing.

>>1277543
The screen transitions are a bit slower in MM4 too. Something is slightly off with the game's programming.

>Jumping to the next screen on Dive Mans stage and you get scrolled into instakill spikes

>>1277543

Always thought it was kinda funny.

>>1278170
He's objectively the easiest Megaman boss. He can't even attack you if you keep hurting him.

>>1277995
I fucking hated the King bosses. That floating platform nonsense, the tank that you have to attack precisely in different areas, King's final fight. That was very hard, yes.

>>1277995
It was awesome. I just wish they saved your progress in the fortress stages. I know it's Mega Man tradition or something but Jesus Christ.

>>1278170
That's why you have to slide underneath him once he jumps, rather than just running. Being able to turn and slide very quickly are the key to getting a 0 damage clear.

>>1281750
Those devs at Capcom were sly bastards

>>1282561
I always fucking mess this jump up, and the times I finally do manage to nail it I jump into the next screen and get spiked
Whats a good weapon to use against Dive Man? I noticed Skull Barrier does a lot of damage but you have to get up close to him and contact does a lot of damage

>>1283493
come on I beat this game 21 years ago, easy

>>1283493

Don't jump that, slide forward and hold right, you fall slowly enough that you make it. Also, to get Dive Man jump high, use Skull Shield, graze him on the falldown and then repeat. You'll go right over his charge.

>>1283510
You had a 21 year head start on me motherfucker
>>1283523
Thanks, I'm never very good at getting the patterns down for the Robot Masters, I guess I just need more practice

>>1283551
It's all about practice. Nothing wrong with facing down a robot master half a dozen times to learn the best methods.

>>1283551
Dive man is actually extremely easy to no-damage with just the buster when you get his pattern down.

>>1277995
I love MM&B, despite all that. The King Tank can go die though. Not because it's hard, but just so dull.
