I've never played a Mega Man game before. Any tips or anything I should know before I start?

Should I look up optimal boss orders or just figure it out through trial and order?

Should I use CPU overclock to remove slowdown or just play it with slowdown "as intended"?

[Anonymous No.8840473]

>Should I look up optimal boss orders or just figure it out through trial and order?
yes, because it's a guessing game
>Should I look up optimal boss orders or just figure it out through trial and order?
yes, anyone who is saying that it was intended is a delusional faggot

[Anonymous No.8840476]

Nevermind I'm dropping this trash. Now I remember why I never played this shit. Pure trial and error disappearing block dogshit where if you make one misstep (before you even know the spawns) you die and get sent back to the beginning of the stage.

Occasionally it changes the timing or location just fucking you over and making it purely obnoxious muscle memory. I'm jumping blindly across a pit and just guessing where the platform should be (because there's literally no possible way to know since this is the first time I've seen these off-screen platforms spawn), and then all of a sudden it decides to throw the next platform above me instead of horizontally, just to spit in my face and waste my fucking time.

This is just horribly fucking incompetent level design that goes beyond just unforgiving or "Nintendo hard' but is just fucking obnoxious and irredeemable and really makes the player question what the fuck they are doing with their life.

[Anonymous No.8840481]

>>8840476
Just wanted to add: disappearing blocks is a common trope in a massive amount of games, and it's not bad in majority of them. What makes basically every single one of those games better implemented than Mega Man is that they use *rhythm and a consistent timing*. Mega Man doesn't make it about platforming to a rhythm, but rather about making some haphazard random fucking placement and timing and then you must brute force it through pure trial and error memorization.

I usually blame anything but myself when I die in a video game (I shit you not I would be like DSP if I was a streamer) but not even I remember that part from MM2 to be unfair. I don't treat Mega Man 2 as the second coming of Christ like the majority of the fanbase and thus don't replay it religiously and I've also beaten like 30 MM games if not more while being really forgetful in general about various stuff, not only video games. When I played MM1 years ago I beat Yellow Devil on like my third try and don't remember his pattern as well. Are you trying to tell me it's not really one of my favorite franchises just because I don't remember some easy part I usually breeze through?

I actually don't like boss orders most guides recommend. For Mega Man 2 a good beginner boss order is:
Metal>Flash>Air>Crash>Quick>Bubble>Heat>Wood

Metal to beat Flash, Flash because its piss easy and to skip 1/3 of air stage, Air to beat Crash, Crash to get Quick down to Flash death threshold in 2 shots, (more helpful in his stage, he's easier in boss rush and can and should be consistently downed with lemons/flash) then after that its just mopping up as you have all the tools to get through everything easily.

Yeah, in 2 in particular there is no reason to ever not use metal blade because the ammo usage is low. Air also kills chicken walkers in 1 hit so it's pretty important. In general the best mega man games encourage you to use special weapons throughout the levels which is why 9 and 11 are praised so much because doing so is fairly intuitive due to how powerful the shot types are.

What's crazy to me is Mega Man 2 was shat out in three months including testing/debugging, and yet people still defend it like it's a masterpiece and every decision was intentional and not like it was an absurdly rushed shitshow that it's a miracle they even had a product. With that in mind, the shortcomings become more excusable, and it's even a bit impressive what they did in such a short time, but still not a good game, and you shouldn't give brownie points for publishers churning out games as fast as humanly possible for quick buck.

[Anonymous No.8845324]

>>8845304
Journalist mode is reducing enemy damage or movement speed.
IMO, save states are an indication of what was missing from these games.

The idea that if you die, you lose all the weapon resource plus any E tanks -- and have to repeat part of the stage (or if game over, the whole stage) is asinine.

You get punished for not getting the finish on your first try and end up underequipped for subsequent fights.

Save states, if not used to literally save state after each time you damage the boss without you, yourself taking damage -- is fine. Saving before a boss is a snapshot of "I accumulated resources and am accepting the weapon consumption/damage taken up to this point" is just getting right of artificial fluff to pad the game. You get to go up against the challenge again sooner with the level of resources you were able to accumulate.

If you show up at 0 lives, 1 HP bar left, and all ammo consumed, save states aren't gonna get you past that encounter.

IMO, save states were an easy band aid over suboptimal game design, and reimagined indie games of old NES esque platformers ( think Super Meat Boy ) acknowledge the shortcomings and improve the gameplay loop while still being difficult.

[Anonymous No.8845338]

>>8845324
Save states are resources for perfecting your play. Used in actual runs they are basically playing with God Mode enabled. 11 removes the need for save states by having time attack, much like a shmup. Previously you had passwords for trying specific areas under certain conditions over and over. Losing resources is a punishment for failing, now you have to play through the game with less tools and actually learn the stage. Things like le ebin dark souls use the same formula.

That's not how mega man works. If you game over you get your resources back and start at the beginning of the stage you are currently on. The difference is if you can blow a boss to bits with its weakness you either have to learn to do it with your buster now or go play the stage over. This also leads to resource management like taking a death to go into a boss fight with full health should you so choose or gambling that you can beat the boss at less than 100%.

This is fine if you have no Etanks. Kind of forced to burn those if you haven't yet, and you can end up having to use or lose at inopportune times.

Yeah because those are the end of the game. You are supposed to figure out how to get through them with what you have. That is the challenge. And yes, if you game over in a wily stage you will get your weapon energy back and continue at the wily stage. E-tanks also carry over from a game over if you continue.

Please be bait.

> suboptimal game design
Going through an entire stage without checkpoints creates tension which is part of the difficulty. Making save states removes tension, it's cheating even if you don't load them. And obviously being on your toes towards the end, especially when you are fighting a level boss, is fun. FUN

2 might legitimately be the worst in the series, but not for this reason. Get good.

Zoomers' entire generation is dead on arrival.

I knew there was something wrong with them.
Good thing it's just an optional challenge you can skip like those garbage random-moving platforms in Ice Man's stage in MM1. Of course zoomies would have to play the series for longer than 2 minutes to find that out.

Mega Man 1 and 2 are not that good, yet MM2 is the crowdpleaser and what Clapcom went with with MM9 and 10 when they wanted to appeal to the nostalgia crowd.

Don't act like it didn't filter us too. Don't bullshit the younger generation too hard my friend or it'll come back on you.

I think they wanted to throw a bone to the people who cry about the Mega Buster's existence.

I shit you not it never filter'd me. Wily 4 though, one of the hardest stages in Mega Man history. And I'm not even talking about the boss, the stage itself is just insane

You used the bubble lead to check for fake floors, right? And use the leaf shield at those parts with the flying barrel dudes. Use the Air Shooter on the Sniper Joe mechs.

They also usually give you a spot where you can sit and watch the full pattern BEFORE executing it, whereas Heat Man's stage throws that one block out at you as a curveball. I think there's at least one other section in the series with a block that will blindside you on your first go through it but I don't think there's any that penalize you with death, you just fall to the ground.

this thread perfectly highlights the difference between older gamers and newer gamers.
