I actually have a question. which order should i do the stages in?
Is there any advantage in doing them in a certain order?
Im basically brand new to megaman.

Yes, bosses are weak to certain weapons from other bosses

Generally speaking bosses have weapon weaknesses, so you want to kill a boss, take his weapon and proceed to the next boss weak to the weapon you just took. ALSO some Megaman games have interactive level elements (i.e. the Blocks in OP which can be thrown with Gutsman weapon) which utilize special weapons.

i presume you just started and are taken aback at first. but those first 6 levels are really not hard.

i know that because i've beaten them and i'm probably the worst player of video games here.

willy stage is hard though. and that rock monster guy is fucking tough but you can luck out. or be a speederunner shit and select that shit, if that works on some emulators. i played it on fceux and it didn't work.

completely taken aback.
ive love platformers like shovel knight and super mario world but this seems hard because of the fact that there's no downward pointing attack. you cant jump on things or shoot downwards even diagonally. it's just straight forward.

Are you inmune to cultural osmosis? This is like asking what the mushrooms do in Mario.

[Anonymous No.3735223]

>>3735186
well it seems everyone really has their own order for beating this game. As far as i can tell its
>guts > cut > elec > ice > fire > bomb
or
>fire > bomb > guts > cut > elec > ice

[Anonymous No.3735237]

Start with Guts Man first. His stage kind of sucks with those moving platforms, but you REALLY don't want to try using Bomb Man's weapon on him. Bomb Man's weapon is pretty much impossible to use. Guts Man is not too difficult to buster only.

megaman is easy if you avoid using turbo-fire/mashing the fire buttons like 98% of reddit casuals are doing. learn to time your pea shooter shots!

[Anonymous No.3735259]

cutman then elecman. the rest is elecman pause button exploit

when you kill a boss you get a weapon you can equip

the idea behind mega man games is that you become more powerful - permanently - every time you clear a stage

it's fun as hell once you get good; clearing out a whole screen with an unlocked weapon you can aim or charge is a great feeling

[Anonymous No.3735405]

I'm generally not very good at video games but I found Mega Man 1 to be pretty moderate in terms of difficulty when I played it for the first time a couple years ago.

Pro tip: You only get to figure that out for yourself once. Don't spoil the experience. I'd trade my left nut to be able to play these games fresh again.

as a kid I tried playing mega man games and wasnt getting anywhere, had No Idea that it had a dynamic like this (since games that say you should play a certain way usually made you have to get certain items to proceed).

spoiled all of mega man for me since then and I had no idea why they kept making so many of them

what's wrong with it? I've heard it's pretty good as far as remasters go.

How's it a remastering?

[Anonymous No.3735617]

>>3735603
well i dont know if its really a remastering. more of a preservation?
that's why i was asking what's so bad about it, seeing as how i didnt play the originals. and i really dont feel like tracking down a nes and original games.

I don't know on PS4, but on Steam is unplayable

Pure and unadulterated cancer, you are better of emulating it.

I'm guessing the HD versions are all upscaled. Only one with native resolution is the 3DS one.

[NESfag No.3735653]

Once you get your shit handed to you by Yellow Devil, you'll want to move on to other titles.

You should start with V and VI, they're the easiest, although arguably the worsts too.

When you play II, don't play on easy, it was added in the western release and it sucks. Several enemies lose their purpose for instance

>V and VI

5 and 6. V is a Game Boy game and VI doesn't exist. Mega Man actually has a separate sub-series with roman numerals so you gotta be clear.

[Anonymous No.3736217]

Alright anon, let me help you out as somebody who played this game at a young age and came up with my own M.O. to make it easier

>Start with Cut Man, just run past those blue fuckers. Keep trying, it gets easier. Cut Man dies quick from your buster just be sure to keep dodging.
>Fight Elec Man next, he is weaker to your cutter.
>The game lets you replay stages, so be certain that you immediately after replay Elec Man's stage. Find these blocks and use the elec beam to destroy them, because the elec beam destroys guts blocks. This will give you the magnet beam which makes it faaaaar easier to platform through Guts Man and Ice Man's stages: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgN3JHs-WGg
>Fight Ice Man next
>Fight Fire Man and be sure to freeze his flame pillars, it makes your life so much easier
>Fight Bomb Man
>Finish off with Guts Man
>Since you're a new player, learn the pause glitch for the Yellow Devil's boss fight, it involves spamming the select button: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghoVW-szN4Y
>Use pause glitch again as needed against boss rush/Wily (it works on any enemy in the game)
>USE YOUR ICE BEAM TO FREEZE BIG JUMPER ENEMIES THEN KILL THEM WITH YOUR BUSTER. Trust me, using the ice beam to freeze an enemy before switching weapons to kill them is a godsend (this does not work on bosses however)

Good luck!

That's just a fanmade convention nobody outside hardcore Mega Manchildren used. All the NES Mega Man games (and VII on Super NES) used Roman numerals on their title screens, regardless of what was used on the packaging art.

[Anonymous No.3736259]

you can use the select trick on regular bosses too

Megaman IV is hard even exploiting boss weaknesses.

i think i actually know what you mean. would love to play the original to see the difference but you'd think we would have fixed things like input lag at this point.

I already beat gutsman and cutman. im on elecman's stage now and i cant stand the floating eye robot things that shoot electricity while you're trying to climb a ladder.
>i didnt know you can shoot while on the ladder
i took a break cause i kept falling and got really mad but with this newfound knowledge of shooting while on ladders i think ill give it another shot.

Not him but it's kind of a different situation when they're in succession, and with different room layouts no less.

[NESfag No.3736958]

>>3736210
Nope, it's always been "Mega Man V" in the west even on NES. Although it's "Rockman 5" in Japan and it doesn't help that it's "9" and "10" either.. Basically they dropped the roman numbers with 7.

I've got both Mega Man and Rockman carts here and I had the GB games as a kid, so I know.
