Nigga, that's babby stuff. Git gud or don't play Mega Man.

>>1993794
Every other level as easy as shit tho I just suck at this part. ;_;

just item-2 past it
if they wanted you to do it legitimately they wouldn't give you item-2
it's what the developers intended
you could be all "oh no i wanna do it for real like a man" but its secretly a test of your critical thinking
you see something hard in life you can tackle it head on the difficult way or you can take an easy way out
if they both get to the same place what's the difference?
dont be headstrong, think before you act
then you can be a true mega man

This is MM2 right? Just use Item-2 you babby

oh shit I'm a dumbass. I didn't know that's what item2 was. I just used it on the floor and it didn't do shit and just forgot about it.

Just use the what's his face flying dog thing.

>>1993805
I bet you're the kind of man who uses boss weaknesses too. Come on, that's just bad advice. The disappearing blocks are a staple in the series, so the sooner you get used to them the better.

>>1993768
I love how MM's eyes are closed and he's making a "If these blocks don't fucking stop, I'm going home and drinking an entire Energy Tank."

But yeah, it's already been said to item 2 across that shit. Out of all the times I've wrecked MM2, I never bothered to learn that block pattern.

>>1993878
>I bet you're the kind of man who uses boss weaknesses too.

...that's what they're there for.

Like, as a general rule? You learn by taking the hard way, gain an inherent understanding of how it works. Through that, you learn how to refine the system so that you don't have to do things the hard way every single time. The way I put it, if you wanna cut corners, you need to know *where* the corners are.

In videogames? The above can sometimes be applied if the developers make the game working off the principle that some curveballs are thrown at you in the early stages of the game to get you ready for when they fuck you raw in the endgame. Otherwise, there is no difference.

>>1993884
Only for the boss rush. Do you not enjoy a challenge, anon? I mean why pick hard mode if easy mode will get you to the ending faster, right?

>>1993892
>Only for the boss rush.

So why do they work outside of the boss rush...?

Do you people responding to the "HURR HURR U EASY MODO BRO" trolls understand what makes a shitpost? Clearly you don't, because if you did you wouldn't encourage them.

>>1993901
For people who either don't have the skills or patience to fight them properly. Using their weaknesses pretty much takes out everything interesting about the boss battles and turns them into a DPS race.

>>1993768
In Mega Man 3 just use Rush Jet to get past it.

>>1993886
You take the easy way out all the way to the end. I use Top Man's ability at the end of Mega Man 3.

>>1993916
the boss battles aren't that exciting. RM jumps at you, shoots its weapon, changes position, shoots his weapon.

the stages are my favorite part of classic megaman. Megaman X is awesome if regulated to only buster tho.

>>1993768
After a small amount of trial and error, I managed that part without Item-2 on my first playthrough when I was 13.

Now I'm 21 and I don't have anywhere near as much patience as I used to. Halp.

jump holding back slightly and tap forward a bit if your timing is off and you keep bonking your head on the blocks that appear above you.

It's good to learn how to do the block puzzle, it's not even a complicated pattern. Besides, it's faster if you have Item-1 for Air Man's stage instead.

I remember some jap dude made a song out of this. He can't get past the level because he needs item-2. But he's having a shit time defeating AirMan. Well worth the watch.

Just take a bit of time to learn the pattern, otherwise you will just get frustrated.

>>1995448
Dude this brings me back

>>1995453
>otherwise you will just get frustrated

Mega Man is frustration
All those old side scrollers are

Its why I cant play them anymore
I play games to relax, that shit makes me too angry lol.

thanks for posting this, based anon

Can we just talk about the use of the term "based" for a second? Am the only one that this drives crazy? The rapper himself, Lil' Dick or what ever, that popularized this term in the context in which it's used lately, said that nabbed it from negative terms like "base head". He wanted to take a negative insult and turn it positive. Lil' Dick didn't mention that "base" in it's original context is short for "free base", as in cocaine. So when ever you call someone "based", regardless of what Lil' Dick tells you it means, you're telling that person that they're high on freebase coke.

Dre: Slim Shady, you a base head
Eminem: Nuh uh!
Dre: Then why's your face red? Man, you wasted.

>>1995643

Lil' Dick also just raps about cooking his main bitch in a skillet or some shit, is he actually going to eat his main bitch?

>>1993768
It's ez pz as long as you have a better memorisation than a 9 year old.

Do you like retro vidya at all?

A metaphor isn't the same thing as calling someone a crack head as a compliment retard.

>>1995757

Oh you were serious.

>>1995760
Your point?

>>1995763

I'm sure you can use your already established godlike comprehension to figure out the point.

>>1993878
>I bet you're the kind of man who uses boss weaknesses too.
>I bet you're the kind of man who uses a controller too.

>>1995770
The thing about comprehension is that it only works when there's a concept to comprehend.

>>1994029
This. Buster-only challenges aren't that exciting in the classic series unless you purely want to challenge yourself. In MMX, however, everything is much more fast-paced, making the boss battles more enjoyable.

>>1995772
>Not wiring the console directly to your nervous system
You a base head.
