Inspired by the newest expansion, I just finished playing Mega Man 7 again.
Personally, I always thought that Mega Man 7 had the best ending in the series.
This got me to wondering which ones others prefer.
So, what's you favorite Mega Man ending and why?
You can include X, BN, Zero, and Star Force if you want.
I liked Mega Man 7's ending the best because it was very reminiscent of The Empire Strikes Back.
Mega Man 6 ended on a high note, Wily had been captured and sent to jail.
In MM7, Wily escapes and Mega Man is forced to take care of a whole new set of robot masters with his new ally, Bass.
However, Bass viciously betrays Mega Man by not only decimating Dr. Light's Laboratory, but stealing the enhancement parts that would have made Mega Man a total badass.
After making it through the fortress, and fighting two difficult battles with Bass, Mega Man defeats a quite difficult (in my opinion) Wily Capsule.
Mega Man is so frustrated that he is still forced to clean up Wily's messes that he is prepared to kill Dr. Wily, until Bass rescues him while mocking Mega Man and ensuring him that he would return.
It cuts to Mega Man making the long walk home from Wily's burning fortress.
The whole walk, he either looks sad or frowns.
When he gets back, a picture is taken with the others, and no one looks all too happy.
It seems Mega Man has finally realized the gravity of his situation.
He'll be fighting until the day he dies, and the everlasting peace he was working towards will most likely never be achieved.
He knows that despite how hard he had worked, he's all the way back to square one.

Mega Man 7.
Cool guys don't look at explosions.
Cool guys turn around and walk away.

MMV. Its the only one I didn't really think is lame. Yeah Mega Man 7's is cool, but its just drags on and on and on. 1-3 didn't even really have endings, 4 and 5 were just like "Oh no, Dr. Wily got away" and 6 also just dragged on way too much. 8's sucked for obvious reasons despite me actually LIKING the game. 9.. well I hate Mega Man 9 >.<. Mega Man 10 probably has the worst because its like, as long as the game itself. And I haven't seen Rockman & Forte's in a while so I can't make a judgement on that. V's was just.. differnt somehow. Although that could just be a bias being MMV is my favorite in the series >.> <.<

I'm going to go into a bit more detail, if that's okay!

MM7
Exploding Castles look cool.
-
If this counts everything after the final boss fight...I'd say I enjoy a lot of them.
1 had good music, and it revealed that Mega Man wasn't just some weird robot.
3 because...yeah, I'm a sucker for Proto Man.
4 because it was kind of cool to watch them both escape the exploding castle.
9 for Wily's epic failure montage (Quote Cop Show Guy on that one, not me) .
2's was pretty much nonexistent, though, and 10 was sad for not showing if Roll was okay. They could legitimately finish Roll off as a character right now, and that's just sad to me.

Mega Man 7. Shame what followed was NOT what I was expecting.
-
MM10 could be the last game in the series, actually.

I know, right?

I would say that the length of time in the credits is certainly the biggest problem with the MM7 ending. Also, if you play the Mega Man Collectors Edition for PS2, the ending is changed so that is SUCKS!
Also, if I had a #2 favorite, it would certainly be MM5. Great tune, and decent overall ending with Protoman looking good!
-
Megaman 7 (Ist mah favrit :D )
And also... Pretty much what the others said about MM7 apply's to my oppinion aswell.
And yes.Cool guys don't look at explosions.
-
MM3: I just think it's prty cool beans.( And cuz ProtoMan is mah fav)
MM5: Pretty good and sorry if I break the whole ending part but...... DarkMan=Pretty badass and ProtoMan says......."W-Wow! A copy of me has appeared! T-That means.....I'M A REAL HERO!!!"
-
MMV, not MM5 =/ RMW5
-
I agree with Nu, I liked MMV (GB) ending, I also liked MM7/&bass as much too.
I liked how there were two ways the game ends depending on the character.
-
Despite MM10
probably being my favorite in the series, the ending was just....bad....I mean, for Bass it doesn't even make sense. Bass leaves him there and next thing you know Wily is better after a good few days in hospital. How the hell does he get to the hospital with some kind of flu WHEN HE'S IN SPACE???
Anyway, MM1 had some awesome music. MM6 showed up Wily finally getting jailed which is awesome. MM7 was [look at previous posts] and MM9 was great for mocking Wily and Megaman's close death encounter.
But MM10's ending is a letdown -_-
-
I agree that MM10's ending was a let-down for Bass, but I didn't think it was that bad for Mega Man or Proto Man.
I would say that Mega Man 9's ending is most likely my least favorite.
I thought it was absolutely atrocious for the following reasons:
1.) Length: It took for-ever! The credits went by at a crawl. Moveover, you couldn't skip it.
2.) Expiration dates: This made no sense at all. It seems that Proto Man, Mega Man, Roll, Eddie, Rush, Beat, and maybe even Bass, Treble, and Auto are far older than the Robot Masters in MM9. I know that technically they aren't Robot Masters themselves, but Proto Man was the first robot! His expiration date should come up first!
3.) Put to Work: After they are defeated, Dr. Light reconstructs the robots and puts them to work. But most of the pictures showing what they do now don't make much sense. Sure, Hornet Man is a gardener, Jewel Man makes jewels, and Concrete Man searches for Dr. Wily. But honestly, Magma Man fires up a bath drum for Dr. Light? Splash Woman gets her picture taken? Plug Man goes shopping? Galaxy Man arbitrarily flies around in the distance with Proto Man in frame? Tornado Man poses with Mega Man? What are they doing the other 99.9% of the time?!?
-
MM9's ending was just showing the robot masters hanging out, not necessarily doing their work.
-
I like MM3/4/7's ending.
Favorite Ending Song: MM3 (Learned it on the piano too)!
-
From ANY Mega Man franchise?
X5, easily the most dramatic and emotional ending of the series (and I would dare say any Mega Man game ever). The three pieces used in the ending in America (including the credits music) are just wrought with sadness and despair that really create an atmosphere not really replicated in (and especially the opposite of the go-lucky X4 and the total non-seriousness of X6).

*Puts on hipster glasses* I like mm2 for it's enigmatic ending, walking home for a year (or through 4 seasons as explained in the OVA) then at the end leaves his expensive helmet on a hill.
Dr.Light: Megaman, where's your helmet?
Megaman: On a hill a mile away
Dr.Light: Boy I dont have money to keep making helmets, walk your little blue butt out there and get it
*Title screen apears*
MEGAMAN 2.5 The search for your lost helmet
That SO needs to be a game
-
OH MAN.
I completely forgot about X5!
I'd assume it was like that because it was supposed to be the last game in the series.
......FUCK YOU X SIIIIIIIIX

You sir, have just inspired me to want to make this fan game myself.

Yeah, I didn't get that at all.
I was like, "Take the bus, Mega Man!!!".
Also, helmets don't grow on trees.
Don't be a dink, hold onto it.
-
It's funny how Megaman can instantly teleport in and out of robot master bases but he has to walk all the way home after beating Wily
-
That's a good point.
He's always walking or taking that bullet train (MM4).
-
I like MM9's ending...i never got Bass's ending in MM10 as said
-
Megaman 7 like everyone else.
yeah sure it went on for a while but i think an ending is allowed to! you can turn off the game and it won't matter! long ass cutscenes in the middle of games that you can't skip however aren't so cool.
but i like watchin endings because after beating the horrible wily capsule i think i deserve a long ending!
-
No kidding!
After the Wily Capsule, we deserved the best Mega Man ending!
-
I love 1's credit music to death, the sad part of 2 followed by the upbeat extended 'Mega Man theme', 3's ProtoMan whistle and upbeat + really cool credit song, 4's sad and nostalgic song, 5's return to the opening music but changed up, 6's medley, 7's jus overall coolness, 8 showing off the original entry drawings for robot masters, 9's pics and beautiful song, 10....is probably my least favorite but I do like the Wily leaving behind medicine scene.
I LIKE A LOT OF EM but I'll post III's music because it's pretty awesome:
-
i love that box art, megamans flying towards wily's castle, and he suddenly notices this centipede serpent monster and he's like "lol what the fuck are you" and just keeps on going
-
I think that's supposed to be Snakey.
-
That green serpent thing needs to be a skin :cool:
-
MMBN3...Just...BN3, Or Maybe 6.
-
I like the ending of Rock Man X: Cyber Mission (Mega Man Xtreme).
I also like the dialog of X finding Techno. When Techno fell on the ground and later disappeared, and when I dont reed the text at that part, I imagine, that Techno's playing dead.
-
Old MM8BDM ending with the old credit sequence...
-
Megaman 2 had the best ending.
-
Megaman 2 had the best ending.
lies >.>
Unless thats sarcasm in which case, carry on~
-
Can't tell....
I also suck at megaman and I never beaten it :cry:
I fail it <!>
-
Megaman 10, but only for the credits theme.
-
my endings :mm3/mm4/mm7/mm8
and my credits bec of great musics:mm3/mm4/mm5/mm6/mm8
I know its a lot but I am a big fan of mega man
-
4 and 7 had the best endings in my opinion. 6 had neat credits as well with the bosses flailing about
