Hard Man

That was clever, very clever - awfully clever.

>>2337550
>Favourite Robot Master: Guts Man - looks awesome and apparently he's one of Willy's favourite pets
>Most Hated Level: don't really hate levels, because design and difficulty is what makes mega man so great, but I guess Wave man - the swimming part pissed me off at first and then there's these cracks with water fountaining from them, which by themselves are ok, but then there are those swinging hammers on the ceilings, which I still don't know how to dodge, but that's all just because I finished it in like 2 continues
>The Hardest Robot Master:
Using weaknesses, Gravity man I guess, cause it's tricky to dodge his shots while reversed, you have just enough weapon energy to kill him and have to be precise with timing. With just mega buster - I only finished every first game's boss and up to 2 in every sequel. Elec man seems to be a problem in his level, and totally unbeatable in Willy 2 - and keep in mind his fight is the second boss fight on the level, after which there's mega man clone. I've got no idea on how to beat megaman 1 buster only because of willy 2.
>Favourite Music: every mega man 1 track is a masterpiece, 9th symphony of the 20th age, no less. I cannot narrow it down further than elec man, ice man and guts man.

Picrelated for remembering - although Crush man is misspelled as Clash man for some reason and bosses from megaman 1 have ugly redrawn icons.

Megaman 6 should have been an SNES/Genesis game. Capcom was being way too cheap.

>>2337659
>Picrelated for remembering - although Crush man is misspelled as Clash man for some reason and bosses from megaman 1 have ugly redrawn icons.
Wrong on four counts.
It's Crash Man, not Crush Man
Clash Man is how Japan spells Crash Man
It's Mega Man, not Megaman
Finally, the Mega Man 1 robot masters are using the mugshots from Mega Man 3's end sequence.

Nice of you to post my wallpaper, though.
I guess I really should make a version with Crash Man's American name. It always seems to get flak for that.

>>2337550
Favourite Robot Master : Air Man
Favourite Level : Gravity Man
Hardest Robot Master : Shadow Man or Magma Man (assuming buster only, because everyone is piss easy with weakness)
Favorite music : later Wily stages on MM3.

>>2337550
Favourite Robot Master: Yamato Man, I love his design
Most Hated Level: Heat Man, fuck the bricks
The Hardest Robot Master: I think... Quick Man... I don't know
Favourite Music: Mega Man II, the best themes!

>Thanks 4 the wallpaper, my Linux distro now looks awesome

>>2337550
>Favourite Robot Master: Deathanz Mantisk

Hardest robot masters, for me, using buster only are ...

Elec Man- can kill you in a 3 hits and he spams his attack

Shadow Man - his attack pattern is hard to memorize and his quick slides often are hard to avoid

Quick Man - since he jumps fast and high on a battle screen with uneven terrain, it isn't easy to hit him with the p shooter. I think you have to hit him at least 3 times for every 1 time he hits you to beat him.

Charge Man - I can beat him now, but as a kid he was hard to beat with buster only, he charged fast, his projectiles came down at random spots, and he was invincible when he fired the projectiles in the air which would have been one of the best times to get a shot in.

Gemini Man - there was a very narrow window for you to be able to shoot him without getting hit back, I think it was right before he jumped on the right side of the screen.

I am only referencing 1 to 6 right now as I haven't played the other 4 enough to remember them well.

>>2338307
> Finally, the Mega Man 1 robot masters are using the mugshots from Mega Man 3's end sequence.
But they are ugly as fuck, couldn't you just use original icons? It'd be totally worth the effort.

Why does everybody (well I realise it's probably always the same person) hate heat man stage block part? It's not even that hard and I play mega man quite casually. It's like I get why you would hate ice man stage for those shooting platform guys you have to jump on, that move however they feel like, but this - it's just being a pussy,

>>2338772
I'm thinking you probably forgot what MM1's stage select screen looked like and why using it's icons wouldn't really work.

Favorite Robot Master: Needle Man
Favorite Level: Ring Man
The Hardest Robot Master: Quick Man
Favorite Music: tie in between Snake Man, Needle Man, Dust man and Stone Man

>>2338992
I remember it alright. I think it would work better. And also I'm kinda surprised you didn't place icons in any sort of order.

>>2337550
Favorite Robot Master: Gravity Man
I can see why he could be considered hard, but for some reason I liked that fight so much I had it down to a science

Most Hated Level: Its been a long while so I can't remember why, but I remember hating Charge Man's level

Hardest Robot Master: Charge Man or Quick Man

Favorite Music: Hardest question, so much good music. But if I have to choose its gonna be Protoman's Stage from megaman 5

If you can't tell I mostly played 2 and 5. Only games I owned back in the day, rented the others a few times but never enough to get familiar. I'm thinking I might go emulate some now

>>2337659
please tell me that picture comes from some rom hack or something. that would be awesome to combine all the stages and powers into one game

>>2339267
Megaman 1 icons are from megaman 3 credits, more than 8 bit megamen had demakes, so that's where the responsive icons are from.
> that would be awesome to combine all the stages and powers into one game
Not really, powers are very similar from game to game.

>>2339087
You're joking, right?
Do you not see how they would look completely out of place?

>>2339267
It would be awesome, and The Wily Wars has something sort of like it in that you can pick from the weapons of the first three Mega Man games for a custom load-out, but it's not from a hack. It's just an image I whipped up.
Wasn't even originally a wallpaper. I made pic related then bolted on additional robot masters from MM&B, then later 10 when it came out, adding Proto Man and Bass to the center, and 8bit versions of the 16/32bit era robot masters to make it look nicer. It came out just the right size to make into a 1920x1080 wallpaper, after adding some padding.

Favorite Robot Master: Pharaoh Man (style for miles)
>Freeze Man if we're talking the rest of the series
Favorite Level: Tomahawk Man (lots of variety, looks cool)
>Otherwise, Pump Man, such a great color scheme and quite challenging
Hardest Robot Master: Quick Man (obviously without the Time Stopper)
Favorite Music: Cossack 2 (Honorable mention for Heat Man)
>Otherwise, Magma Man. Holy shit, that Latin heat

>>2338985
Because they cannot into basic pattern recognition.

>>2339294
Awesome, thanks for making it. Now using it as my wallpaper

>>2338985
I only could beat that part with rocket item ... stupid bricks.

>>2339327
Don't call stupid the bricks, call stupid yourself.

>>2337550
Favourite Robot Master: Napalmman has been my favorite design since the first time I saw him (even though it's stupid that a guy with treads for feet jumps everywhere)
Favourite Level: Shademan's by a wide margin. The branching paths, the enemy designs, the music, the Protoman fight...it's all gold.
The Hardest Robot Master: Dynamoman cheats, but Burnerman's a bigger asshole. Also Commandoman H gold-crown Challenge.
Favourite Music: If I can only pick one, Airman's theme

>>2339413
Just noticed the I-VI restriction. OK, favorite stage in I-VI is probably Waveman, and hardest RM is probably Fireman, oddly enough.

>>2339415
Actually you can just outshoot him, kinda like with hard man except even easier. You deserve at least four pictures with two hot laughing at you women at the very least.

>>2337550
>>Favourite Robot Master: Snake Man
>>Most Hated Level: Pharaoh Man
>>The Hardest Robot Master: Shadow Man
>>Favourite Music: Snake Man Theme

>>2339415
I refuse to believe that anyone's favorite stage is Wave Man's. It's boring as hell, and the jetski segment is absolute garbage.

>>2337550
Favorite Robot Master: Pharoah Man. He's just stylish and badass.
Favorite Level: Flame Man. It's a really unique take on the fire gimmick.
Hardest Robot Master: Fire Man. It's pure luck whether you beat him, because his attacks are literally impossible to dodge for too long.
Favorite Music: Flash Man theme.

So many snakes here.

There are demakes of VII and VIII, so why not count them?

Guys, how do I suck less at Megaman? I have always loved Megaman but am absolutely awful at it. Like, have only ever beaten two robot masters since I was a kid.

>>2343723
Lol, how much did you try in adulthood? Go in order obviously. Megaman is actually on of the easiest games from all of the nintendo classics. Even felix is arguably harder, because when your continues are gone, your arse is fucked and it's like what the fuck. Well, I suppose, super mario bros is easier if you use the A "cheat", but aside from that pretty much every other game either has infinite continues too, but is much harder (castlevania, ninja gaiden, duck tales FFS), or doesn't which makes it harder even if the game itself is much easier. Also most games don't teach you how to play them and you get fucked on every new obstacle or enemy.

>>2343820

I tried a bit as a kid, a lot as a teenager, and am just now revisiting as an adult through Megaman 5, because I'd always heard 4-6 are a bit easier and the robot masters appealed to me. I don't know, I just feel like I never eve have enough time to think about breaking down patterns and figuring out a strategy before I'm dead as hell.

I'll admit I'm not every good at classic sidescrollers, though. I'm pretty young (22), so even though I experienced a decent amount of NES/SNES/Genesis through friends who were broke and outdated, older family members, etc. I never got extensive playtime in my own home until I started emulating as a teen.

>>2343723
git gud

>>2343828
Breaking down patterns and defeating bosses/levels in the first try in 8-16 bit games (probably 32 bit too) is pretty fucking hard and requires a lot of conscious effort, usually you just try until your unconscious got it down and you have some reflexes.

Anyone think a third-person shooter/platformer MegaMan game in the classic setting would work well with wasd/mouselook?

Anything wrong with Wily Wars?

I know the metal blade was nerfed and I'm okay with that.

>>2344306
/vr/ is gonna murder you family if they realize you suggested turning mega man into cod. That's not what I you meant I bet but that would happen for sure.

>>2344323
No it'd still have platforming. I just mean basically a 3d MM platformer with aiming.

I think the original American McGee's Alice or the cancelled Jazz Jackrabbit 3d is closest to what I'm thinking of...

>>2337550
Favourite Robot Master: Spark Man
Favourite Level: Cut Man
The Hardest Robot Master: Quick Man
Favourite Music: Spark Man and Wily Stage 3&4 from Mega Man 3.
Favourite Wily Fights: MM5

Let's try it for the X series 1-6, too.

Favourite Maverick: Storm Eagle
Favourite Level: Storm Owl
The Hardest Maverick: Mattrex ( mainly the 2nd time around )
Favourite Music: Toxic Seahorse
Favourite Sigma Fights: MMX3

Until recently, it had never really occurred to me that Megaman was originally just a lowly helper robot. It's so endearing that such a seemingly pathetic robot could beat much bigger and more powerful robots on his own.

>>2342758
You've got to admit, his theme is pretty catchy.

>>2344314
Slowdown out the ass, looks like garbage.

>Favourite Robot Master
Sheep Man, very unique.
But in regards of retro aspects, it'd be Flash Man. Love stopping time, too bad you can't shoot while it's stopped. They shoul've fixed this and make it like in Megaman Day in the Limelight 2.

>Favourite Level:
Top Man

>The Hardest Robot Master:
Elec Man with Megabuster

>Favourite Music:
Every single MM3 robot master stage music.

>>2337550
>Favourite Robot Master:
Magnet man
>Favourite Level:
Holy shit, I don't remember, I guess I'll have to replay it
>The Hardest Robot Master:
Had a bitch time with Centaur man without the weakness
>Favourite Music:
Call me a plebeian, but still a sucker for Willy's castle in 2

>>2345159
> >The Hardest Robot Master:
> Elec Man with Megabuster
You can either stand low touching cubes with your back and spamming attack waiting for a lucky pattern or attacking at the right time never giving him the opportunity to come to you. He won't shoot. Also you can dodge his waves, you just have to be very careful and it'll take a LONG time. Second fight is hell though. Needle man is easy harder. And then there's fucking quick man.

>>2345283
Quick man is only difficult due to the stage, he falls rather easily to the Mega buster. The only other weapons he has a real weakness to are the Crash Bombs and Flash Stopper. Metal Blade will NOT work on him, he literally deflects them.

>Favourite Robot Master: Tomahawk Man
>Most Hated Level: Plant Man (Only because of those fucking springs near the end: they gave me so much trouble when I was a kid)
>The Hardest Robot Master: Guts Man, Stuns you and crushes you with rocks. You literally have to jump almost every few to prevent getting stunned
>Favourite Music: Wave Man theme

>>2345009
He got rebuilt into a battle robot during megaman 1.

Best music: Proto Castle Stage (MM5)

>>2345450
>5 higher than 4
why

>>2343723
Mega Man games are very simple, so I don't know what to say to you.
There's really not a lot of strategy in them.
>>2345458
I think they're equally good, but 5 is more fun due to the overpowered charge shot.

>>2345450
> 3>2>6>5>4>1
> 1 is the worst
What the fuck? As someone who first played mega man cs in adulthood, mega man 1 is brilliant and has the best music. I could kinda agree on 3>2>1>6>5>4, but this... I just have no idea on what kind of person you are. Probably some sort of sociopath.

>>2345650
Shit controls kill the game for me.

>>2343723

These other guys have given you really bad advice.

What you really just need is a little patience. Take it slow and think carefully and, most importantly, keep at it and don't give up. You can beat these games too.

>>2345656

The controls are fine. Maybe your emulator is lagging.

>>2345656
The controls are exactly the same as the other games. Unless you mean no sliding.
I agree that 1 is one of the best.

>>2345656
Bull-fucking-shit, controls are no different from 2 or 3.

>>2345697
>Unless you mean no sliding.
You act like that's not a big deal
>>2345702
Sorry, but you're wrong.

>Favourite Robot Master: Gemini Man
>Most Hated Level: Quick Man
>The Hardest Robot Master: Quick Man
>Favourite Music: Spark Man

>>2345709
The Hardest Robot Master is quick man in MM3, try to beat that fucker without his weakness, just try, he's at the end of the broken spark man stage waiting for you

>>2345772
You/he just said that. Also in mm3 you can slide, which makes it MUCH easier and in case you don't know mm2 bosses in mm3 still have weaknesses. But yeah, buster-only I get fucked on needle man already, which is basically simplified version of quickman.

>>2337550
Anybody here think that Bubble man should have been weak against the quick boomerang.

>>2345789
No, what is he weak against?

>>2345705
It's not a big deal at all. It's not necessary for the game because the levels weren't designed around having a slide, obviously. And 2 is one of the best NES games ever without having a slide.

>>2345709
Good taste, but I think Quick Man's stage is pretty fun.

>>2345845
Metal Blade. I can see what he means, due to the way Bubble Man jumps over you at the start of his fight, being able to shoot the metal blade in eight directions makes the fight laughably easy even on hard mode.

>>2346130
That's not what I was talking about.
In MM1, Rock slides a bit before stopping, kinda like in Mario 3.
Later games removed that shit, because it was annoying as fuck.

>>2345341
> >The Hardest Robot Master: Guts Man, Stuns you and crushes you with rocks. You literally have to jump almost every few to prevent getting stunned
>> saying that after saying quick man is not that hard buster-only.
Are you fucking kidding? Guts man is the easiest boss ever. Why you have to prevent getting stunned? He won't throw when you're stunned, there's no hard in that. And he's never gonna reach you if you stay in your initial position.
>>2346142
Hm, never really noticed or maybe perceived it as my fuck up. Yeah, I fucking hate super mario bros for DAT steering, it's bullshit. You either go super slowly (which is not even always possible) or super fast and have to learn levels by heart. I see where this is coming from, just looking at how neatly you can collect blocks of coins really fast, but it's just not my cup of tea.

I suck at Mega Man but have always loved them. Giving the games another shot, I just got the anniversary collection for PS2. I'm attempting to beat all of them in order, and I was pretty proud of myself when I finished Mega Man. Now I'm playing through Mega Man 2 and am pulling my hair out at the cannon boss in Wily's Castle. Any tips?

>>2344306
Theres actually a really fun claasic megaman doom mod out there somewhere.

>>2346550
git gud

You just have to conserve your crash bombs until you reach that room, take out as many walls as you can, and when you do it the next life the walls will still be gone. There's a method to do it in one go with some of your gadgets to get around some jumps but you can't fuck up

Where's Wood man?

Anyway
Favourite robot master: Shadow man. He's a cool ninja. Most fun fight is Snake man
Favourite music: Napalm man nobody's saying MM2 Wily castle because fear of being called "pleb"
Favourite level: Snake man
Hardest robot master with no power ups: Shadow man
Least favourite level: Crystal man because of the part where stuff is dropping from the ceiling. Hmm. Or any other level with too much instant death parts.
Favourite weapon: Metal blade, it just wrecks everyone

>>2348230
Dude thank you! I just beat it. Moving onto three. The whole alien thing was weird. Also metal blade is based. What should I expect out of the third installment?

>>2350505
Not him, but MM3 is my personal favourite game in the classic series. Get ready for fun.

>>2350505
I would've probably figured it out on your own, you don't need more than 2 continues. Alien thing, if you'd pay attention, was just a hologram. How can you even miss it?
I also think third is the best.

>>2349735
Second row, last column.

>>2346279
Gustman is easy. Level is so hard (4 me)...

>>2350760
*dustman

>>2351090
What the fuck does dustman has to do with anything? That guy clearly meant gutsman.

>>2351090
Gutsman,,It's Gutsman.

>>2351673
Very well...

>>2343828
You are usually expected to die the first time. Instead, try to use what yo apply to next life.

Here's a hint for 4, 5: Very few of the robot masters actually walk around, most of them jump. If you think to robot master is about to move, your best option is usually to slide towards them, because they'll probably try to jump towards you.

>>2337550

yea, i liek dis thread, k here i go.

Favorite Robot Master: Dynamo man
Favorite Level: Star man
The Hardest Robot Master: Dive man
Favorite Music: Meal man

Favorite Robot Master: Solar man
Favorite Level: Pump Man
The Hardest Robot Master: Nitro man
Favorite Music: we're the robots

>>2353609

LOL i meant metal man not Meal man

>>2353612
Meal Man, a cooking based robot master!
His stage is the world's largest soup kitchen.
His attacks include throwing fried goods about the room, and throwing grease on the ground making it slippery.

>>2350505
The third one is the longest one by far. The robot masters in the third game reach new heights of interesting, with a lot of concepts that don't get revisited in any other game.

The only real complaint about it is that it's real easy to stock up on E-tanks, making dying trivial, and there are couple of near-useless weapons. Nothing nearly as based as metal blade. Finally, unlike the second game, the robot master weaknesses are wholly arbitrary.

start with Top Man.

>>2350760
I can see Gust Man being a new robot master

>>2353695
I can see anything man being a new robot master.

How positively awesome would it be to have 8 robot masters based on psychiatric disorders? They already kinda made Astro man paranoid and sociophobic, Aqua man narcissistic and Clown man is clearly a paedophile. Delighted me to no end.

Just imagine now: anti-social man, anxiety man, obsessive-compulsive man, schizophrenic man, bipolar man, autism man, panic man, depression man. Lots of space for fresh level and boss design, enemies, mini-bosses.
