>Which was your favorite robot master?
The one where you use the powerup from another boss to defeat. That was my favorite.

>>5103369
Because the x series started out good and got bad midway through. The original was just bad from the beginning.

>>5103369
The reason why the original Megaman series was so consistent was because of its narrative simplicity and a reliable gameplay formula. Dr. Wily is out causing trouble, go stop him, that's it. It's not a surprise that the more they injected story into the Megaman X games, they started degrading in quality despite having a great gameplay formula working for them. Capcom only figured out how to do long-winded story pacing properly when Mega Man Zero came around.

My favorite robot master will be Skull Man. He's got a kickass stage theme too.

this guy right here is the best robot master

>despite having a great gameplay formula working for them.

Yeah but they start really shitting the bed on level design and forced story by X5 on. At least 1-4 were good but I see many say not consistently good like with the NES MM series. Maybe Capcom should have made 6 X games for SNES like they did MM for NES?

You should play 7,8,9,10 and 11. They're all good too, especially 9.

The spin off games are also good: notably Power Fighters and Power Battles but also Battle & Chase (play the Jap version, I can help with the translation if you want I have some screenshots, the western release have less content)

The game boy games are also good, especially V, although II kinda suck especially due to the musics.

tl;dr it's more than 6 games that were constantly good, it's all of them.

As for X, pic and quote related...

There is also Powered Up though I don't personally like it, it's not "bad" per se.

>classic
if it ain't broke, don't fix it
>x
let's break what didn't need fixing to "mix it up"

Mega Man 7 pointless broke a bunch of shit most notably the fucking size of the main sprite itself and subsequently the scale of the game.

>>5103369
>I beat these six games for the first time this past week
Jesus christ mate, they're awful.

>Mega Man 7 is bad meme
There are only two bad things in this game:
- close to no iframes at all
- the rest of the second Wily stage after the second Bass fight

>>5104547
Based and redpilled robot

Can we all agree that nobody ever really refers to him as "The Blue Bomber".

>>5104943
I don't think the game is bad by any means but the scale is a bit ridiculous in 7. He's huge

>>5103369
If i were to guess why
>X is a literal masterpiece, even MM is shit compared to it
>Spans 3 different consoles, so things varied more through X's lifespan

>>5104487
X5 was a shitty game though. If it were to truly be the last X game as it currently is then it very clearly would be the worst of the X games.

>his favorite robot master isn't skull man
How does it feel to be factually wrong?

>>5104585
The problem isn't 'the size of the main sprite', the problem is the low FOV. This doesn't come from the 'main sprite', it comes from everything.

My guess is they wanted to make him more detailed since it's "16 bit".

Either way, it's not a problem all the time, only in some key places, and it stops being a problem once you've played the game a couple times, then it starts to become really fun.
