Megaman 2
The game everyone remembers.
Harder than they remember. 8/10 difficulty.
Bubbleman-Medium
Frag limit-20?
Recommended weapon-Air shooter.
In this stage there are spikes that insta-kill you,
as well as bottomless pits.
Tread lightly.
Were it not for these, this would be the easiest mm2 stage.
Air Man-Medium (Yes, you can defeat him.)
Frag limit-25?
Recommended weapons-Air shooter, Metal blade
(Warning- Opengl resource hog.)
This stage is painful to look at.
There are many bottomless pits.
Always watch your step.
The fan men things have various items, but they will blow you away if you
get close.
Heatman-Hard
Frag limit-25?
Any weapons will do.
This requires some strategy.
There ARE good weapons in the lava and by the vanishing blocks,
but getting is either painful or too time consuming.
To rack up kills, let the bots get into fights, and shoot them while they are fighting.
Eventually you should win.
Oh, and don't trip into lava.
Quickman- V1- Hard. V2-Medium.
Frag limit-30
Any weapons will do.
This requires patience.
There are many black areas.
If an arrow appears on one, GET OFF.
Force beams will come in the direction of the arrow.
These are OHKOS.
Fortunately, the bots walk right into them.
You have to slowly pick them off.
Usually the bots have trouble fragging in this stage.
This stage's difficulty depends on which version of MM8BDM you have.
V1-Hard because Frags for bots stay the same if hit by force beams.
V2-Medium because bot frags are -1 for each force beam that hits them.
Thus, you must take it slow, in Quickman's stage.
The force beams also lag Opengl, but not by a lot.
Flashman-Easy-Medium
Frag limit-30
Recommend weapons-Quick boomerang, Napalm grenade.
This stage is a free for all.
Bots will rack up kills quickly if you let them.
So back up a bit and shoot at them.
Sometimes when you die, you will spawn next to the napalm grenade.
This make killing large numbers of bots very easy from a range.
However, beating this stage in 5 minutes is fairly hard, so don't try it on your first
playthrough.
If you do however...
Special-ENKER-Hard.
You only have ONE life in this stage.
You will fight Enker.
The trick here is to wait until Enker shines and then open fire.
However, DO NOT stand still.
He can absorb and reflect your attacks.
When he is not doing this, he will chase you across the ring.
Try not to fall.
Each corner has either a weapon or large health.
The healths respawn every few seconds.
Use these to beat him.
If you do, his mirror buster is yours for the rest of your current MM2 play through.
Wood man-Medium
Frag limit-30?
Recommend weapons-Air shooter, Rolling cutter.
Fairly straight forward.
Just use the weapons and avoid the bots.
Really quite average.
How ever, it's nothing compared to
Crashman-Very hard.
This stage..
Frag limit-35
Recommended weapons-Crash Bomb, Hyper bomb.
You WILL lose the first few times.
This stage must give crash some special AI or something,
because his strategy is the right one.
The strategy is to stay away and spam bomb weapons.
And you know what?
It usually works better for Crashman.
The worst part about this stage is the lack of a warning siren.
That is, if some one is less than five kills away, the music will NOT change.
So watch your frags.
This is one of the hardest stages in the game IMO.
Metal man-Hard(Easy compared to Crashman.)
Frag limit-30
Recommended weapons-Metal Blade, Junk shield(V2 and up)
In this stage there are many conveyor belts,
some leading to weapons, some to other sides.
Watch your footing here.
In V2 this is easier because of Junk shield.
If you just fire junk shield without throwing it,
you can switch weapons with JS still on and use it as armor.
Skull Castle Entrance-Medium-Hard
Frag limit-30
Recommended weapons-Air shooter, Metal Blade.
Here, all you do is grab air shooter or metal blade and hit bots that are
fighting one another.
You should win with relative ease.
Boss-Guts Dozer-Hard(Buster only) Easy(Quick boomerang)
Recommended weapon-Quick Boomerang
Guts Dozers' tires are insta-kill.
Remember that.
His weak spot is the head jewel.
However the buster does little damage.
To bypass this, sometimes mets will be flung at you from the head jewel.
When shot they will reveal one of the following:
Small health
Small Energy
Quick Boomerang
Item-1
First, get an item 1.
(Be sure to have the item use key mapped.)
Second get quick boomerang.
Now use item one to jump onto the front
of Guts Dozer.
You may fail the first few times, but keep trying.
Once you board him, spam quick boomerang at the jewel,
and he'll go down quicker than Gravityman.
