Is willy wars a good option? there is also a remake of Megaman 1 for the PSP that looks pretty cute

Stay away as if you could contract AIDS.
> there is also a remake of Megaman 1 for the PSP that looks pretty cute
It's fun and worth playing. There's new game with 2 extra bosses and somewhat remade old one, which is significantly harder, than the original. Also you can play as bosses and there are challenges and shit. I should've added it for the sake of completeness.

>>3299519

Wily Wars is shit. The PSP remake of 1 is very good, I'd either suggest playing it over the original unless you want to play the original first to see how the series started and how much the remake improved it.

Can we really discuss 9 and 10?

>>3301475
>9, 10 (> not retro)
What do you think?

> no Megaman 8-Bit Deathmatch
This thread is fail.

>>3299378
Add the Official Comparison, OP:

3 > 4 > 1 > 5 > 6 > 2

Otherwise that recently drowned thread was for nothing.

>>3302253
God, Megaman 3 is just so right.
The slide coupled with amazing stage design, incredible music and a ton of content for a Megaman game makes it the absolute best experience in the series. 4 is great also but the introduction of charge shot is a negative point in my opinion.
2 is incredibly overrated, but I still like it better than 1 just because it is more polished.

For the X series...
X2 > X1, both really great games, but honestly I don't care for the rest. Kinda fun to play but ehh...

>>3302253

>3
>the best

Huge and frequent slowdown, Doc Robot stages (especially the Rush Jet part of Needle Man's DR stage), and the castle being by far the easiest part of the game make it not so.

But it is the only game with the slide and without the charge shot, which sucks for me because I love the slide and don't like the charge shot.

>>3302281
1 is very important as the original game, but also the music is most probably the most powerful, visual component is unique (if you look at the enemies, it's clearly different style from the rest in series) and charming, and weapons are actually more balanced than in 2 and 5. You could argue that 5 is better, but 6 is just too similar to 5 and 4, while 2 is too easy and has very bad weapon balance.

>>3302301
> Doc Robot stages, and the castle being by far the easiest part of the game
What? No.

>>3302313

What? Yes.

>Doc Robot stages are, for the most part, uninteresting rehashed stages with rehashed bosses, except the balance is completely thrown off because of how huge Doc Robot is. Wood Man is ridiculous.
>the castle has easy platforming segments made easier by Rush Jet, easy bosses, and throws so many lives and E tanks at you that you have a retirement fund by the time you're done

>>3302310
I certainly agree with your points about 1. The thing that puts it under 2 for me is the level design, which is primitive and experimental. Considering that a huge part of the game is about traversing the stages, I find that a point too big that is detrimental to my final value of the game.

How do I download Megaman 4 Minus Infinity? It isn't the same as a normal lunar ips file. I tried the command prompt on my japanese rom of Rockman 4 but whenever the game was finished I tried playing the newly made rom but it would only show a black screen.

Who /busteronly/ here?

>>3302562
I buster only through the stages not the bosses.

>>3302591
I've been mustering up the courage to buster only 3, but when Quickman or Woodman come to mind I'm ready to give up the idea. I was almost done clearing buster only X, but my SNES power adapter went bad before I could do it(which I should be able to do before, X is a walk in the park).

>>3302808
5 and 6 are by far the easiest games to do buster only runs on (obviously there are a few required instances where you HAVE to use utilities to get through, but as long as you only use those when it is forced, it counts)

http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/888/

Is it any good?

>>3302591
>>3302808

>There are people that seriously believe Buster Only is actually hard

Do a weapon only run

After your first weapon pick up, you can never use buster again.

>>3303852
Is it? I've never tried but it doesn't seem that difficult. 1 has Thunder Beam, 2 has Metal Blades, 3 has Shadow Blade...

>>3303852
Haha i always buster only when possible. It makes boss battles epic, like how i imagine robot battles. It is hard though

>>3303852
>thinking this is hard

Yeah, Metal Blade is SO MUCH WORSE than the buster.

>>3303852
Does the puzzle piece in that picture represent your autism?

>>3303852
>There are people that seriously believe Buster Only is actually hard
> Implying you just picked up the games and did a buster only with no trouble

However, a true mega man fan or even appreciator absolutely must do buster playthroughs, since otherwise you're missing a great deal. GREAT FUCKING DEAL, I cannot stress this enough.

I remember just downloading rom of it and playing it.

wow what a great general

>general
Go back to /vg/. I bet you plan on copy-pasting your dumb wall o text when this thread dies, but I'm telling you now, don't. In fact, stop making threads and lurk more.

I really wish that every Megaman hack wasn't just kaizo shit. Like, Ultra and No Constancy do some pretty cool things with graphics and level design, and MI's gameplay just seems top notch, but I can't enjoy any of this because they're all more difficult than any of the official games.

>>3299378
>Ultimate
Which one is this? Can't find info.

>>3311786
My mistake, meant Unlimited.

>>3311770
>implying /vr/ doesn't already have several generals going on at once, that have been going on since the board's inception

>>3312054
Oh, in that case you might want to put it under a "fan game" category or something, along with the FC demakes, since it's not really a "mod" or a "hack".

If the thread stays alive, that is.
Not that is bad, mind you, but seems redundant when /vg/ already has an MM general.

>>3312071
>muh argumentum ad antiquitatem
The point is, there is a board for gaming generals. Go use it instead of shitting up /vr/ with template threads.

>>3312079
Do you post that in every other general on the board?

Man, I am sick of all these RPGs.
I don't want to grind.

And I fucking wish the DRM on Blue Guardian would get removed.

>>3311770
Are you normally that delusional or is this coke speaking? Reality check: nobody gives a fuck about your authoritative views.
Let's pretend other anons and OP don't exist. You're against mm general, I'm for it. What makes your word better than mine?

I definitely wouldn't wanna hang out with the vg crowd, not at the current state of affairs.

Excuse me for this one-time off-topic, but I just want to say that man mega man 9 is fucking great. Hard as shit of a turtle, had to use 3 E-tanks.

I wish at the ending it would turn into escape level like in MI or "real boss" stage though, but that's fine.

Also couldn't help but notice:
> credits sequence
> every robot master is helping in some way
> splash woman: just posing
I do strongly respect Capcom for realistic portrayal of minorities.

Anyhow, pls use the latest dolphin with recommended config, it runs perfectly and there's dlc and everything, for 10 too.

>>3313516
Haha Brandon Gay.

>>3313516
Yeah 9 is honestly arguably the best of the series, it's fantastic.

If we have some dope links, this thread is gonna live.

Also anybody ever worked on some mega man project?

I dowloaded 2.5 several times from different links and first time it just didn't launch after installation, after that it would just say "you have another cope of the game installed uninstall it first" or something, I deleted everything but that doesn't help.

Pls help.

Wily Wars is spectacularily bad. It has massive slowdown. Most people play the 50hz PAL version, but even with the 60hz NTSC version it has massive slowdown everywhere.

>>3321069
>>3299524
>>3299821
Is it worth checking out just for the bonus levels and bosses though?

Do any of the recommended emulators in the /vr/ wiki have any issues playing 1-6?

I feel like playing Mega Man today, I think I'll play the Famicom versions.

>>3321087
Why would they, it's fucking NES.

>>3299519
I just launched 1 in WW and they fucking MURDERED the music. It's like trying to play with a dagger twisting in your soul.

How does the psx collections hold up?

I'm aiming to beat every game in the classic series this summer. I've missed a few in my time.

1, 2 and 9 down so far.

I don't know if I'm in the minority here or what, but I think the Legacy Collection is fucking great for the price. The ports seem faithful to the originals and the "TV" filter looks terrific.

I love Mega Man. Brings me comfort when life is getting me down.

>>3321573
Report on GB games if you gonna play them. Not totally sure if I wanna do this.

Eh, gimmicks. Overall it's more of the same. Bosses and weapons are fucking puke provoking at this point.

Flower man with bunch of leaves as a circular shield, huh? They must've been very proud of themselves.

I just don't know if they were afraid to change anything at all or if all of the creative brains were really fucking retarded.

>>3326360
Were you using Doomseeker?

>>3325405
> MM1 has unlimited continues, right?
Up until Wily castle, then it'll start you from the first level on GO. I think the second checkpoint is on the first skull level, with boss rush.

>>3326369
Got it working.

>>3325687
I was told by a mm fan to go for the psx versions if I wanted the best possible releases of the early games, but maybe he was just a weeb.

So where do you play?

Should I feel bad about saving after beating a stage I know I can beat first try every time? Replaying it isn't any added difficulty, it's just time consuming tedium after a while.

>>3326465
I mean, they have enhancements, yes, but you'd be missing nothing by playing any other version of any particular game.

>>3326587
> rationalizations

>>3326676
Well, yeah. I have limited time to play games and every time I boot the system up I have to re-beat a stage at this point I can beat in one try. It's not difficult, so what does it add? Just takes time from me I could be spending perfecting the other stages. If I can't beat a stage without dying more than once I'm not going to save anything

Is it any different from a kid leaving his NES on back in the day?

>>3326948
> Well I know I can EVENTUALLY beat the stage consistently, so why not save after I beat it once
Same as what you're saying.
> Is it any different from a kid leaving his NES on back in the day?
Yes, because you still have to start from where it starts you. You can leave PC on, but no more.

>>3326587
??

Megaman never requires you to replay a level.

>>3326986
No, I just outlined that if I can't beat it in one try multiple times I don't save. You're projecting your thought process on me. I know I can beat cutman without dying once. The others so far I haven't played much of because I keep having to replay cutman every time I turn my system on

>>3326992
If you beat a stage turn off the game you need to beat it again.

>>3326986
What about putting your 3DS into sleep mode? Does that count?

>>3327010
If it's BASICALLY like leaving on a console on, it's fine.
>>3326994
See I used to be a retarded cheater like you, but I understood the wrongs of my ways. The truth is you have to beat the game in one go, unless it has a password system in which case you use it (or save, no difference - unless passwords don't save some items or shit, in which case you obviously can't savestate). If it just has continues or shit - you can only keep PC and game on and not play any other games preferably.

>>3327059
It basically is. Just turns the screens off and puts it in a lower power state. It keeps you at the exact screen you were on. Really, it's not cheating to just save and turn the system off instead of putting it in sleep mode.

>Sleep mode
>Stays on select screen

>Save
>Turn system off to reduce wear/charge faster
>Load and it's the same screen, lives, etc as the sleep mode

Literally the same thing, just reduced wear on the system

Oh man, I get save states being cheap to avoid deaths and game overs, but this is some trite shit here.

On the 3DS legacy collection the music sounds much better to me through the speakers with the "Stereo" system setting instead of "Surround"

Ok, enough shit posting about saving.

I have to say the game design in this first one really is nice.

Elecman's stage introduces you to enemies that are easily beaten by cut man's ability. It goes on to give you circumstances where (I found anyway) that using cutman's weapon is to your benefit. Such as the climbing sections with enemies coming from above.

This all leads up to elecman being weak to cutman as I figured (I have not looked up any boss weaknesses)

No tutorial, no messages, just the overall stage design giving you the idea that cutman's ability works well here so maybe it'll work well on the boss.

I'm sure this has all been said before, but I've never played one of these games before.

>>3326994
>If you beat a stage turn off the game you need to beat it again.
Honestly that's just being anal. If you blame someone for using save states BETWEEN levels, you probably literally have some form of autism.

>>3327143
That's right and I think the weakness thing may be the most pronounced in 1 - and overall it's such a package of brilliant design (I'll admit Wily's levels would be much better if you could do without special weapons at all, like with those fire pillars in Wily 1 where you can actually just jump through them with no ice) that I'm not sure was ever recreated. In 2 and on I feel like these unique challenge segments, couple for each horizontal screen and one for each vertical, are watered down.

This and music make it the best (possibly after 3) one for me.

>>3327181
I just wish Gutsman's weapon were more useful. There's hardly any throwable blocks in the game.

>>3327186
Yeah, guts should have some earthquake attack.

>>3327193
Or an attack that lets you grab enemies and throw 'em. That would be cool.

You monster!

>>3326095

Even when there is a female on vr, it's a lesbian.

>>3329716
What sort of reasons disallow for symbols on the helmet? It's not like christ cross in ff or anything like that. Were they afraid they may accidentally use some religious symbol or something?

>>3329802

He doesn't specify. The translator speculates it might constitute a coypright violation by being too close to Ninja Captor.

DISGUSTING

>>3329989
I actually had a decent version, but lost it and then downloaded this from google without even looking.

>>3318070
> Have you even played 10? From the first moments, literally, it's clear that it's inferior to 9.
Could you explain please? Pump level is fucking classic.
>>3325120
> What an epitome to how the balance in this game sucks a box of dicks. The only reason 2 is technically worse on this is because it has eight weapons and seven of them are fucking useless.
But every weapon aside form guts is very useful throughout the levels.

>>3330957
Oh yeah, bombs suck, but I still used them when first played the game, cause I was scared shitless of dying and used everything I could to help myself.

>>3328279
>> fire man in every single fucking game
Not in 3 though.

>>3331070
Which is why it's the best. Though it does feature heat man.

What's your favorite stage from each games? It can be from both the Classic and X series.

>1. Fire Man
>2. Crash Man
>3. Top Man
>4. Skull Man
>5. Gravity Man
>6. Wind Man
>7. Cloud Man
>Never played 8
>9. Galaxy Man
>10. Sheep Man

>>3331082
1. Ice man easily
2. Air man
3. So many good ones... I'm gonna have to go with Snake man, but the just the visuals in Top man are amazing
4. Dive man
5. Wave man. Gravity gimmick was never really developed - the robot master level wasn't enough, and neither castle featured it for some reason.
6. Tie between Blizzard man and picrel
9. Pump man, no question about it

Having watched speedruns as a reminder, here's my order:

9 > 10 > 3 > 1 > 4 > 6 > Powered Up > 5 > 2 > & Bass > 7 > 8 > Wily Wars

Also, threadly reminder to play 8 through Saturn.

Okay, here's a challenge for you all.

Say something nice about about the Megaman PC games.

>>3331976
They skipped the second one.

>>3331983
I admit it, I laughed at this.

If I can say one positive thing about them, it's that they had some neat robot master designs. Most of them were kind of generic and derivative, but you have to give them credit for not just recycling the NES bosses.

>>3331976
They had the original Blade Man and Wave Man

>>3332005
Oh yeah, that's true.

As far as I know, three of the PC robot masters' names have been used in official games; Shark Man is the third.

>>3329716

Little longer version.

>>3331997
> neat moster design
He looks like a 6 yo kid in a cheap shark costume.

>>3333448
As opposed to a seven year old in a cheap snake costume?

Don't kid yourself, Megaman isn't exactly known for having good character designs.

>>3333578
There's a lot of good ones. Toadman looks properly for one.

>>3333661
Literally just a green airman without the fan in his chest.

>>3333578
>Megaman isn't exactly known for having good character designs.

The Battle Network series has fantastic character designs. I can't think of modernized take on a classic that looks better.

>>3334225
that moe artstyle is disgusting

>>3334225
> monocle
ffs

9 > 10 > 6 > 7 > 4 > 2 > 3 > 1 > 8 > Influenza > 5 > AIDS > R&F > Wily Wars > Leukemia > Mighty No. 9

>>3334367
> 7 > 4 > 2 > 3 > 1 > 8 > Influenza > 5 > AIDS > R&F
I'll let you figure out for yourself where did the miscalculations on your part took place.

Also M#9 is luckily not a mega man game.

Besides, leukemia is pretty op

>>3331082

You finished those?

>>3331976
its better than playing chinese bootlegs maybe
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLAHz2kr4hQ

also mighty no. 9 is an okay game

>>3335568
> also mighty no. 9 is an okay game
HOW FUCKING DARE YOU! GIT OUT

>>3335459
Yeah. DOS isn't that bad overall. It's DOS 3 that's really shit.

>>3336232
Is it better than 7?

>>3335570
>Arabian boss
>level is an oil field

Oh, 90's Japan.

>>3331082
1. Elec Man
2. Quick Man
3. Shadow Man
4. Pharaoh Man
5. Napalm Man
6. Flame Man
7. Slash Man
8. Astro Man

>>3336276
Eh, I wouldn't say so. Better than 5, sure.

Anyone know if there is a patch that replaces all the English in 8 with the original Japanese? I want to play 8 but don't want to hear "POWER SHOT" every five seconds.

>>3337620
this fucking weird deformation on his face doesn't happen on the saturn version. it creeps me out when I see it

>>3337620
>>3337671
Face thing can be turned off, look up the optimal settings or something.
>>3337224
> 7 > 5
> there are people who believe that

>>3321072
I enjoyed it. Genesis arrangements of all the music is interesting, and Wily Tower is fun. It's a decent reason to replay the MM1-3, but the originals are still definitive.

There's a Game Genie code to unlock Wily Tower if that's all you're interested in.

>>3338404
> Genesis arrangements of all the music is interesting
> interesting
That's an interesting euphemism for fucking disgusting.

>>3338149
5 is absolute shit. No redeeming qualities save for Napalm Man's stage theme. 7, at least, has some good in it. Cloud and Freeze's stages were pretty inoffensive.
