this apparently

Is that image filtered at all? It certainly doesn't look like SuperSai or other casual shit.

Not getting trolled by this post is the /vr/ casual filter.

>>4073514
Are you actually using SuperSai?

Tell me more about this SuperSai. If I use it, will the game become easier?

>>4073842
Maybe you'll finish faster because of how horrible it looks.

I saved this screenshot just to post in a casual filter thread!

More like a pussy filter.

>>4073416
This wasn't hard at all, it was just tedious as fuck. As a kid, I figured it out because what the fuck else was I gonna do? Now, I'll just play a better game instead.

Mega Man 8 sucks, but this isn't why.

The real bullshit part for me on lion king was the lava stage. Most of the levels on that game are annoying though, and the controls are so-so.
I feel like the only enjoyable levels are the first one, and the first one as adult kimba (that one probably being the best one, also in terms of atmosphere).
Level 3 is also enjoyable, but I don't really care for the rest.

This is not a casual filter.
This is a "guy who plays games without constantly checking a guide like a faggot" filter.

>>4076546
There's a pleb-accomodating spot that makes that stage super easy; thus, it effectively fails to filter plebs. Plebs are NOT getting filtered there. They go about their plebby business unfiltered it's what I'm getting at

Play a real men game like Gradius 3 you scrub.

>>4073416
I could do the monkeys and ostrich blindfolded.
Don't get me started on pic related though.

>>4076652
I don't think a final boss qualifies as a casual filter. Dynamite Heady ain't that hard anyways.

The problem was I couldn't understand which was the background or the platforms. It was pretty confusing in the running part, even in later levels it is.
The graveyard, i think, you can barely see shit because it is way too dark. And there is a later level where bats start flying and then some tiny lava dropping out of nowhere.

Always thought that master system was better experience though and the soundtrack even more.

Manchildren game.

>>4076714
The issue with the monkeys was KNOWING that they change position when you roar at them. The game gives no indication that this is possible.

The second roadblock was the giant rocks on level 5, where you have to perform an obscure maneuver that involves a combination of buttons (rolling), that most players only triggered randomly and had no clue how to do it at will.

The third obstacle for progress was what you mentioned, the fucking logs on the waterfall, followed by a boss fight with that fucking ape. I still get angry just remembering, I hated that bastard so much, eating his banana, looking at you with a smug smile, and backhanding you if you got close.

The final roadblock is one that held me back for years, on level 8, you were supposed to let a falling rock destroy the ground to proceed, but for it to work, you had to remain on the same screen as it.

>>4076846
It's been a while, but doesn't it say "ROAR AT MONKEYS" right when the level starts?

>>4076854
It's useless advice for people that don't know English, especially kids.

>>4075471
Casuals wouldn't even make it past e2m2.

>>4076860
Ok, I get it, but saying there's "no indication" is inaccurate. If anything, it just proves failure of text-based tutorials over gameplay-based ones.

>>4076887
What's exactly hard about E2M2? Imps in a maze isn't hard if you realize berserk fist can kill them in one hit most of the time. And aside from the maze, I don't recall anything too hard?

>>4076723
Dark Demon is the final boss of Headdy though.

>>4076714

I thought the problem with that level were the fucking rhino tails.

>>4073429
I believe the roller coaster was even harder than the turbo tunnel

>>4076549
Why does MM8 suck, though?

>>4076568
I always hated the fight with the full sized King with Megaman, because you have to jump on this platform and shoot nearly perfect charged shots at his fucking face for what seemed to be like hours.
Maybe I'm just stupid and I missed something that makes the fight easier, but back when I was 10 this was the reason I played most of the time as Bass.

>>4073805
This is more "sane person" filter but technically a casual would go nowhere near it, yes.

>I believe the roller coaster was even harder than the turbo tunnel

It's not really "harder" as such; it's an unforgiving, 1-mistake-and-you-are-dead completely new game mechanic totally disconnected from any experience or skills gained during the rest of the game. In the SECOND TO LAST level.

It's bullshit. Turbo tunnel gets memed as fucking impossible for "regular" players, but not only it's perfectly doable with a little practice, it's actually fun as well

>>4073416

>>4077569
And you get to fight a tough boss at the end.

Heh, freudian slip.

>Why does MM8 suck, though?

MM8 is my favorite of the "classic" series, but I can see why people don't like it.

For one, the robot masters are way too easy, especially when using the weapon they're weak against - you can essentially stunlock half of them to the point where they can't even touch you. In (most) previous games, they did extra damage but didn't give you such a gigantic advantage.
Another point of argument is the voice acting. Dear god, it's terrible. I never let it bother me myself, but a lot of people are turned off by it. Sure you can skip the cutscenes, but Mega Man and the robot masters never shut the fuck up.
Finally, there's too many auto-scrolling sections. I don't mind the JUMP JUMP SLIDE SLIDE sections - at least there's actual platforming to be had, and most people complaining about them just suck at videogames. It's everything else that's a chore to get through (like the flying Rush sections that take an eternity - Tengu Man's stage is so goddamn boring because of it).

I'm not usually the guy who's genuinely entertained by bad movies or cringe compilations, but I enjoy the shit out of that era of Capcom's VA. MMX4 is also quite good. RE4 has its moments too.

I agree with you about the bosses.

The thing I really like about MM8 is you have a lot of upgrades to choose from. Why they didn't implement this in X4 is beyond me. Yeah, you can pick between 2 different buster upgrades for X, but it's the only real choice you have. I could fantasize all day about what kinds of things would improve the formula of the X series, like randomizing where upgrades/heart tanks/e-tanks are, but we'd be here all day.

At least you can make every MM8 playthrough a little different.

This whole fucking level had me stumped for a week.

F-Zero GX was the first (and for many years, only) racing game I ever owned. So for the longest time I assumed I wasn't good at racing games.

>>4080696
but...its the second level. Although I suppose OP's is too...

>>4076860
I guess you lived in an abusive household were you parents never taught you to read until you were 12.

"Roar at Monkeys" is something a 4 year old would know how to read; even more so if they had parents they could just go ask to read it to them.

Don't blame the devs for you having shitty parents.
