[Expansion] Mission Mode V1D Released! (v4 working)

[Beed28]

Yes, easily the worst boss in the entire Mega Man franchise ever. What were you thinking, making it so that a no damage run is impossible without exploiting the pause glitch, and then making it vulnerable only to a weapon with VERY finite ammo.

Anyway, we're going way offtopic here. Has anyone tried my custom Boss Rush map over in the co-op fan maps thread?

You all do realize it is near impossible to beat Boobeam trap in one life.
The ONLY way to do it is to place the bombs in an exact spot that it destroys a turret and a wall at once. And it only works for 2. Which would result in having just enough ammo. Thats why it doesn't have a shutter door, so you CAN get ammo before returning to it.

[Magnet Dood]

Yes, because having a difficult boss in a game isn't fun.

Seriously, everyone complains that Mega Man 2 is too easy, and yet when they hit the Buebeam Trap, they go ballistic and say the boss is almost impossible. It isn't that hard, and losing a life and regaining energy isn't the end of the world.

But anyway, to answer Stardust's question, no, any fanmade co-op map will not be added to the core. Mike made this clear quite a few times.

It's not the fact that it's difficult, and it's not just that you die that makes the boss so frustrating. First off, the only way to can kill it is to use an already sorta awful weapon with very limited ammo, combine the crazy amount of sprite flicker that comes with the boss leads to attacks you can't possibly see coming until there's one or two cannons left.

That and dying is fine, farming for Crash Bomb ammo against Rider Joes (or whatever they're called) is not fun.
Farming for ammo is never fun in any game. Unless tellies show up or something, and you have a energy balancer.
And Jewel Satellite.

I think there should be a reward for slaying a boss in that map. Maybe refill all their weapons? Besides that, works fine for me. (I have a server up with the boss rush if anyone is interested)

[Knux]

Am I the only one that ever ran out of crash bombs at the boobeam trap? It's enough to scar you for life!

Just one of the reasons why MM2 is my least favorite of the series.

[TailsMK4]

Great...I tried to solo run Toad Man as Roll (on v1b since survival does not work on v1c), and when I destroyed the Escargoo in the area with the second secondary switch (not the one in the waterfall), the teleporter did not work for me. A great run was wasted...

Charging proton cannon, stand still a sec.

Hey, MM2 is pretty up there with my least favorite games of the series too.

Still charging.
Go stand infront of him would ya?  

[Tengu]

Me three. I think its the fact that 2 is so.... I don't know what the word is. Say Megaman to someone and they immediately say "Megaman 2 is my childhood!!" Its like saying Pokemon to someone and they say "Pikachu bulbasaur omg!!"

[LlamaHombre]

MM2 had a lot of great ideas but a lot of them were poorly executed in the grand scheme of things. Wily 4 in that game is easily my least favorite part of every single video game I've ever played combined, so it's not a downright broken game but it's not one that deserves the mounds of praise it does. It still beats out MM4 and X5 in terms of which one I'd go back to replay first, but only for the novelty of it. Every time I play it, it just seems to cram more things I find irritating in my face.

Heat Man ironically enough is my favorite stage in this mod because of the various ways the lava level changes the situation and how satisfying it is both to go through as a speed run and as a collector's run.

[Gumballtoid]

Mega Man 2 is overrated and, aside from the diversity of the Robot Master roster, isn't all that noteworthy to me. I prefer Mega Man 3 far more.

I would always do Needle Man's stage first in Mega Man 3, and I especially love his stage in this mod as it takes the linearity of the original stage and throws it out the window, emphasizing more on exploration in a large, maze-like city, throwing switches to allow the party to proceed.

[Dr. Freeman]

I basically agree with everything Labada said. Except I like Megaman 4, but opinions whoa.

[Ivory]

I give MM2 the respect it deserves. It did refine the system that MM1 started. It was the reason why the series didn't get canned by Capcom, but that's about it. Every other game refined what MM2 started and progressed further. Stupid crap like the boobeam trap and alien wily only being weak to a single special weapon with no way of gaining more ammo in battle is extremely poor game design. Which is basically the problem, MM2 was full of poor design. That's why I'm not fond of it.

MM2 is fine for what it is, and if it's your favorite game of the series, kudos to you. If someone doesn't like it, no reason to threaten anyone with charging your proton cannon.
