General Megaman Rant

[BiscuitSlash]

The main thing that bugged me about MM2 was that the fortress bosses had great concepts but were ruined by little flaws. That Mecha Dragon would kill you easily if you are not on the top block and you had to do half the stage again, and Piko Piko master did way too much damage, even when it hits you right at the moment of appearing.

It's a shame. I would really like Piko Piko master if it didn't so much damage. (Bare in mind that 2-4 made you start half the stage again)

YOU'RE PLAYING IT WRONG

Also, I don't really like MM6 all that much because of how ridiculously easy it is to beat.  It took me several weeks (of on and off playing) to beat MM3, and I beat the entirety of MM6 in under two hours. I actually do like MM8 somewhat

6 was the first game I beat on the NES (with no cheats, even!) as a child. (2 I actually didn't beat for years, because if I cheated I got stuck in the Turret Boss room with no Crash Bombs. Whoops.) Like X4, a "hard mode" would seriously help this thing out. Everything works out pretty well.

8 I have no sympathy for. I've been meaning to try the FC version and see if it holds up better, though. Also, mm3 is too long for a mm game. That's why it took so long. >.>

I really do like MM6 actually! I really do love that new amour thing and all those little gimmicks in it. And that final boss music....yeah....

Only problem I have with it (along with 5 actually) is the fact that the post damage invincibility was a bit too long to bother with attacking them with uncharged shots, making the fights way too easy. But still, I really love 5 and 6!

Roc,  4 is longer than 3 =|
And why do you hate 8? Why?

I would like to give my opinion on 8.

8... is a great Megaman game. I like how its different from the others because of the cool gimmicks.
But, I kinda don't like MM8 for some reasons, like overused weapons used in the other games. What I'm talking about is clone weapons like the Ice Wave which is similar to Bubble Lead, Homing Sniper is similar to Dive Missle, and that Flame Sword is similar to Slash Claw.
Also Swordman isn't very memorable. Whos going to remember a Swordsman that is fire-themed?

Yes, but Bubble Lead isn't good at all :l
And Swordman is totally memorable. His fight was a heck of a lot of fun, and I love his dialogue .

Swordman is cool. Possibly my favorite RM in 8 or Clownman.
Still, no idea why they would make him fire-themed.

And what is really funny is, Why is the Homing Sniper called the "Homing Sniper"??
Its not a sniper at all. I would've called it the Homing Shotgun maybe.

And heres another thing:
In MM8, there are two explosive-themed RMs: Grenademan and Searchman.
WHAT?! Usually, theres only one themed RM that is different for each classic Megaman game!!

Megaman 4 had two aquatic robot masters in it. Toadman and Diveman

I love megaman 8 to be honest. The only thing that really bugged me was the stages being a LITTLE too gimmicky, especially the Wily Stages, and the fact that you can't use the later weapons very much. Also I think Clownman is a bit annoying, mainly due to his voice.

But I really did like all the weapons and stuff. And Grenademan's personality was awesome.

lolwut
Since when is Search Man considered Explosive themed?

Not stage wise, but he does have missles.

Missiles =/= Explosive themed. =|
The main purpose of it is that its HOMING themed.

Let's make everyone happy and say that he's both. One head it homing, other is asplode.

MM3. I FREAKING HATE DAT GAME

It's just not good in any way for me. Except for some of the robot masters, anywho...

MM3 had the MM2 RM, except they were fun to fight this time and less of a push over.

That was Doc Robot.

I don't even like Doc Robot.

And Air Man was still hard!

RM design=good game...
Air Man in MM3 was actually not cheap unlike MM2. After all you can slide through the once unavoidable air shot.

>Air Man
>Hard
Pick one or the other, you can't have both. Anyway, the only thing I hate about Mega Man 3 is the fact that the Doc Robots even exist and that the castle is possible one of the easiest things in Mega Man history. Other than that, and some questionable level design, Mega Man 3 is actually pretty good.

I liked the Docs. They were fun to fight and their stages were more fun.

Slightly edited stages filled with slightly edited bosses... yeah, sounds like fun >.>

That's our Nu *canned laughter, followed by a cheesy 70's sitcom song*

I just hate MM3, all right?

I find it bland.

Roc,  4 is longer than 3 =|
And why do you hate 8? Why?

Lol, most of the stage designs that weren't forgettable were downright aggravating. We have Astro Man's maze, Frost Man's snowboarding, the autoscrolling "Rush Jet" segments, Clown Man's stage, etc. I've been considering giving 8 FC a go to see if it remedies some things, but lol macs prevents me from doing so at the moment. The graphics, plot, and VA are also bad enough to significantly detract from the game. To me it's the "X6" of the franchise.

Oh yes, and given that 3 has 8 RMs, 8 Doc Robots, and Break Man, I'd assume it has more bosses (and more stages) than any of the Classic series games. I don't look very far into it though, so feel free to drop whatever technicalities on me.

The thing I hate about the Doc Robots is that they are not nearly as fun as they were in MM2. I love the concept, but really, crashman no longer has that really awesome explosion anymore, Woodman now does about 8 friggin damage (i think) and is even harder to avoid, the airman one doesn't let you stand behind him anymore (which was fun) and IT COMPLETELY RUINED QUICKMAN!!!!!! Really, the original quickman was hell fun to fight and it was balanced. The Doc Robot version was hell annoying and unfair. Whenever I get to him, I just fire mah lazor without mercy.

IT COMPLETELY RUINED QUICKMAN!!!!!!

I dunno about you, but quick man was easy and boring in the first game (which is why I tackle him first), but Doc Quick was actually fun to fight for me.

I suck at my job.

Damn it korby,  my post was on topic more than it was off =|

[Magnet Dood]

Continuing this rant because yes

The Piko Piko Master didn't do too much damage.

But that Mecha Dragon was annoying as hell -_-

[Korby]

Yes, you're right, Nu, but it spawned a huge derail that lasted a very long time, so I just threw it in here.

I found it to be the opposite, mecha drag wasn't hard. As for piko, he did 1/4 damage. I find that to be a lot. With MM buster he's challenging, with blades, he's too easy.

[Nuy]

....what? Blades and the buster both do one damage to him.

[LlamaHombre]

I hate MM2 for reasons I'll explain when I'm not on a DSi

I hate Mega Man Forever because it's ugly and unoriginal. Once again, I'll explain more later.

Piko Piko Master does ridiculous damage.

I find the Mecha Dragon to be pretty easy myself.

[Mrguy891]

Blades has more directions

[Dark Phil]

The only big complaint that I have about that game is the weapons. Some bosses can't be beaten with the mega buster and metal blade works on almost everyone!

[Bikdark]

Since when is the Mecha Dragon difficult?

[NemZ]

The only time mecha dragon has ever killed me was the very first time he appeared, surprised me enough that I screwed up a jump.

[Mr. Sean Nelson]

I hated that stupid turret, crash bomb trap in Wily's fortress in MM2.
If you screwed it up, you didn't have the weapon energy to do it again.

Other than that, I liked MM2.

[BiscuitSlash]

The Piko Piko Master did 8 damage. Too much. What's annoying is that it could easily hit you when it is appearing from the walls.

I hate Mega Man Forever because it's ugly and unoriginal. Once again, I'll explain more later.

You're opinion....I guess. Looking on the blog, LOTS of people got really annoyed at the cancellation of it.
