Playing Megaman 3 for the first time and picked snake man first because I heard he was a pretty easy boss.

No he isn't. I'm getting my ass kicked by him. Should I just move on to a different boss stage, and if so, which one?

>> No.417064

Stay on the middle platform. When he approaches, jump over him.

Also, Top man, Magnet man and Hard man are pretty easy.

thanks, staying on the middle made it really easy. dont know why I didnt do that before.

>> No.417101

Magnet Man has a simple flow, he jumps across the room, and either goes into the air and shoots 3 magnets, which are easy to avoid by walking and sliding or he stops and does a move that pulls you closer to him, keep away by sliding.

After that. Hard Man > Top Man > Shadow Man > Spark Man > Needle Man > Snake Man > Gemini Man

Three's bosses are pretty hard in general. Snake is only 'easy' after you know what to do because you don't need much precision to dodge him.

Fight top, then use his power against shadow. Shadow blades are the best weapons in the game.

are they as easy as Megaman 2's bosses? because those bosses were casual easy after you know their weaknesses, and a lot were easy with the mega buster anyways.

Magnet Man and Hard Man are the easiest to take out with just the buster, Magnet Man's stage is harder though and it's possible to beat Hard Man easily with the buster and move straight to top man.

You have to hold buttons on controller two. Down for high jump and start for invincibility, I think. Debug stuff they forgot to remove.

yeah, but if you're having trouble, shadow blade is the weapon to use against him.

another thing.. hard knuckle can also be aimed slightly mid flight up or down a bit.

I think it was right on the second controller to high jump, up for invincibility once you got out of a pit, and down to slow the entire game down or something like that.

it's useful, but I think I remember it consuming a ton of energy per shot.

Mega Man 3's weapons aren't set up like 2's where 1 weapon is just a straight up upgrade from the buster (like Metal Blade). The usefulness in each weapon is based on its firing patterns, Gemini to bounce off walls, spark to freeze enemies in place temporarily, hard knuckle to steer mid flight, shadow blade for 7 directional aim, snake for targets that are on the ground below you, and magnet to hit enemies in the air. Never found a use for needle outside of snakeman I don't think.

it's the one from the classic series that holds the most nostalgia for me. I didn't play the original Mega Man until the mid 90's honestly, Mega Man 2 was my first, and it was good, but MM3 was just so much better and Mega Man 4 was.. well not quite as big of a deal as 3. By Mega Man 5 the series was actually feeling a bit long in the tooth, then Mega Man X came out and blew me away.

Mega Man 3 and Mega Man X are the GOAT.

The story's in the manual.
Wily claims to have gone good and teams up with Light to make Gamma, the ultimate peace-keeping robot so powerful that no one would possibly commit a crime.

The story also makes more sense in context after playing 8. Wily was infected with Evil Energy, which multiplies and grows more powerful over time. He starts by reprogramming Light's early bots out of jealousy, then building 8 of his own. He then deceives him in 3, kidnaps Cossack's daughter to make him fight against his friend in 4, kidnaps him directly and frames Proto Man to pit him against his own brother in 5. 6 was just shit, though (Mr. X?
