4 is way too easy, though.

People who hate 3 aren't good at games. And there's nothing wrong with that, some people prefer more casual games like MM2 and 4, and some prefer challenging ones like 1 and 3.

The only shitty retro mega mans are 6 and 8, IMO. Though 6 at least gave us the best track in the series (Flame Man).

>> No.3288643

>>3287406
The music and slide are awesome.

Only things I dislike about it are the menu which I feel is worse than in MM2 and the Doc Robot stages. They're really well done in terms of challenge but the game has such a weird difficulty curve to me

8 Robot Masters: Cakewake, like Mega Man 2 on American Easy
Doc Robot: Borderline "Lost Levels" shit (Note: Mega Man The Lost Levels would have been a great game, it just hurts this one)
Wily Stages: Pretty chill all in all

If the game was just a little more smoothed out in this regard I think there's no question it'd be the best MM on NES but I like 2 and probably 4 better.

Yeah, let's put the game that gave Megaman nine e-tanks and an overpowered Rush Jet, rehashed 4 of its own levels and the bosses from 2, has the worst slowdown of the NES games, and has terrible endgame level designs in first place.

Harder level versions is one of the best ideas in the original serial, well done too. If you don't see it as a cool feature that it is, you are retarded or trolling, or both.

Goes with having more shit. K

Still better than 4 just because of the levels alone. Although you did convince me to replay 3, 4 and 5.

>> No.3289265

It's got the best balance of difficulty/polished mechanics out of the first 6 games but I still can't bring myself to feel like it's the best one in the series for some reason. Might be because I don't feel any attachment to it since 3 and 4 were the only ones I didn't own growing up.

ok 2 is better than 5.

6 is worse by having that retarded fucking unskippable animation of rush shit (rush shit itself is controversial), which breaks the whole flow of the game. Aside from that it's better tho. So I guess the ultimate comparison would be

1 has got that thing on the first doc level where you need to farm if you fuck up, also glitches, making 4 more solid overall. However design and music in 1 are unforgettable with music being the best in serial by a mile.

>>3289406
My problem with 6 is that it forces you to choose levels. You need all three rush armors to get the beat parts so you either have to do whichever robot masters give you the rush armors first or be ready to backtrack. Still I would say its far better then 5, its amazing soundtrack helps. 6's wily battle theme is fucking phenomenal.

arguable, MM6 bosses are worse and mm3 bosses were a damn joke
>useless weapons
The only useless weapons from this game are the star crash and water wave, power stone isn't that bad, And besides, MM5 was the only game that balanced the charged mega buster, in other megaman games you could hold the charge even if you were hit but in MM5 if you get hit, you have to charge the buster again, meanwhile in the other games of the franchise that had it let you keep the charge, which debunks the argument of "waaah mega buster was op and outclassed the weapons when it got introduced!" [in 4 it was shit and outclassed by pharaoh shot]

>> No.3290791

>>3290776
Oh and about weapons, its the ONLY FUCKING MEGAMAN GAME WHERE BEAT IS USEFUL ONCE YOU GET IT.
In MM6, MMIV and MMV (gameboy), Beat was useless and couldn't hurt bosses, MM7 didn't had Beat as far as i know, and in MM8, Beat was just a power up on Tenguman and Wily Tower 2 flight sections.
You could say that in MM&Bass, Beat was the strongest thing because it gave you invulnerability (you'd lose ammo if you get hit but this is fixed with the energy saver) but the only thing you had was the pew pew buster and let's be honest, everyone knows that game was designed with Bass in mind, megaman is a bit irrelevant in this case.

But still, MM5 was probably the only megaman game where you had the strongest loadout of weapons, you have a bigger and better charge buster, a rush coil with double the height of the original and that you also had from the beginning of the game, Gyro attack which can kill Metools with their helmets on, Charge Kick which is basically slide + i-frame + damage, Gravity Hold, the first screen cleaner weapon, the Napalm bomb which is probably MM5's metal blade (no reason to not use something that hits as hard as the charge buster and that you can spam fast) and the Super Arrow which is a super fast Item-2. Crystal Eye, Power stone and Star Crash were very situational and Water Wave was plain useless.

What's wrong with Doc Robots? Are you people autistic or something? OCD makes you intolerable to boss osmosis?
>>3290776
Thing with 5 (and perhaps to a lesser degree 4) is it ends up being the "middle" game, making people forget it and thus qualify as the worst. 1 is 1, 2 is 2, 3 is slide and protoman, 4 is - well - buster charge, 6 is the last and 5... eh, gravity?..

Most of these people played through the series once; twice at most.

> MM6 bosses are worse
How? They look the most original, even though their powers are pretty generic and repetitive - understandably, being 6th game and all. Still, I remember them more just for their looks.
> mm3 bosses were a damn joke
Wtf does this even mean? At the very least they are as good as in 2, I'd say significantly better.
> in 4 it was shit
In 4 it was OP, making everything else unnecessary.

> MM5 was probably the only megaman game where you had the strongest loadout of weapons

> Charge Kick which is basically slide + i-frame + damage

You said it.
> and the Super Arrow which is a super fast Item-2
In a way even better than 3's rush jet and is a weakness of like 3 high tier bosses. O-fucking-P.

MM3 gets a lot of hate from the fans and even Inafune himself said he disappointed with it but the game holds a lot of nostalgic value for me since it was the first Mega Man game that got me hooked to the series

Another thing I loved about it was the soundtrack, hands down it was the best I've ever heard in an 8-bit game. Specially the title screen intro. It starts out all jazzy and rocks out half-way.
