Why is Mega Man V the best Mega Man game and the best 8-bit platformer ever made?

Mega Man 4 is my favorite, but it was the downfall of the series' original concept. Which is to collect weapons and use them to complete stages.

MM 4 gives you the charge buster, so why would you need special weapons to complete stages? You can still use the weapons you obtain, sure, but there's no demand that you do so because you already have the charge buster.

Still think Mega Man 4 is one of the best action games for the NES. It's just not the best "Mega Man" game, because the original concept--to collect and use weapons in situations that demands them--is lost.

Pound-for-pound, I'd rank the Mega Man games like this

2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > 1 > 6

Though it's just my opinion. And also, I found MM 6 to be annoying and have forgettable robot masters.

Mega Man 5 is garbage compared to 1,2,3,9 and 10. The rest don't have the same feel, although got harder starting with 5. People don't rate the first game higher because they suck at it. Get good. My Mega Man universe contains the first three and then 9 and 10.

it's vr...what else is there to talk about?
You play a game and then you feel its the best. It's a way to start-up a conversation.

That said, I think the music sets it apart.
I also think the production is great.

Also, the music in Mega Man games stopped being memorable after 3, but stopped being masterpieces with the arrival of 3.

4 is still very much balanced. The charge shot isn't always the best thing and there are plenty of uses for weapons you collect, including during stages.

5 is where it went downhill. The charge shot is way too powerful, out of the classic series it's the charge shot with the biggest size and the lower charge time, and on top of that all the enemies are weak to it, including all the bosses. On top of that, weapons are either too OP (gyro, gravity) or useless (power stone).

When I made Protoman edition for MM5 I tried my best to rebalance the charge shot, making it more like 4's, and I think it was for the better.

The problem is that in 5 they made the buster strong but the supposed downside is you lose the charge if hit. This barely matters though seeing how strong it is.

I like 3 but people circlejerk way too much. It's glitchy, everything after the robot masters is poorly designed, and the sub weapons are nearly useless while rush jet is stuoid broken.

If 3 is part of your "universe" but not great games like 4 or MM&B then you have shit taste.

Also reminder this is the ideal megaman interpretation.

Idk bruh, I fired it up for the first time last week and was able to not only beat the first stage I tried without a game over, but finish with like 8 extra lives. I think I beat the robot master at the end on my first try, too. This is unheard of for a megaman game
