I noticed theres no Megaman thread yet, so here it is. Feel free to give your worst takes or to keep yelling pleb opinions such as liking MM2 the best.
I felt like bossfights in X2 specifically, were an overall improvement upon X1, shame the game drops its balls when you hit the x hunter fortressAs a SNES kid, I remember Mega Man X 1-2-3 being super coveted among kids. And with good reason, they are excellent games with astonishing production values. I could never pull off the Street Fighter moves but then again I was a dumb 8yo with poor coordination. X-2 was a favorite mostly because I got to play it the most.
All games fuck up up to a certain point. The SNES megaman games were evenly good all across the board. As I said, the praise is justified.I felt like bossfights in X2 specifically, were an overall improvement upon X1, shame the game drops its balls when you hit the x hunter fortressAs a SNES kid, I remember Mega Man X 1-2-3 being super coveted among kids.

I feel like X1 maintained the quality all the way throught the endgame, it has its flaws but it isnt on stage design itselfAll games fuck up up to a certain point.

In case someone is wondering why people say that: It's because Mega Man 2 is the easiest game in the series by far.Feel free to give your worst takes or to keep yelling pleb opinions such as liking MM2 the best.

When us nerdy kids at school tried to beat the first three Mega Man-games, we had to work together to beat the first game, but each of us could solo the second game without hassle. We teamed up to try to beat the third game, but we couldn't beat it in time before the only kid who owned it moved away. We lost interest in the Mega Man-games after that.
MM2 has an easy mode. Is it still the easiest game when played on normal mode? I don't remember.
X1 killed the entire point of a Mega Man game by putting the dash boots in Chill Penguin's stage, invalidating any order that doesn't start with Chill Penguin and leaving only two (strict weakness, or least backtracking). Should have had the capsule appear in whatever stage the player does first.
Mega Man 1 laughs at you with its Magnet Beam.X1 killed the entire point of a Mega Man game by putting the dash boots in Chill Penguin's stage, invalidating any order that doesn't start with Chill Penguin and leaving only two (strict weakness, or least backtracking).

I have to agree. I'm actually surprised Maverick Hunter X didn't change that.X1 killed the entire point of a Mega Man game by putting the dash boots in Chill Penguin's stage, invalidating any order that doesn't start with Chill Penguin and leaving only two (strict weakness, or least backtracking).

X2 drops the ball with a lack of a Violen 2nd Form, the game instead just gives you another lame Violen fight. Like, lol, lmao even.I felt like bossfights in X2 specifically, were an overall improvement upon X1, shame the game drops its balls when you hit the x hunter fortress
Except 1: the Magnet Beam requires Guts Man's weapon or redoing Elec Man's stage 2: Ice Man and Guts Man are the main stages that it's useful in, and Ice Man is weak to Elec Man's weapon anyways so you aren't as limited so if you're willing to do Guts Man's stage without the magnet beam the only limit is just "Don't do Elec Man before Guts Man if you don't want to redo his stage" 3: MM1 is universally recognized as deeply flawed and early enough they didn't know better.

I actually like NOT to get all of Zero's parts in X2, because I love the Zero fight AKA the OG X vs Zero. It really makes it more challenge to have to fight Zero, and THEN fight Sigma's two forms.
Neo-Sigma (AKA Wolverine Sigma) also dunks over OG Sigma hard. OG Sigma is so lame, Neo-Sigma teleports around the screen, fires electricity balls and tries to claw you. Probably the best 1st form Sigma fight in the SNES games.
Yes, in Wily 1, after you've defeated all the bosses. It doesn't force a particular boss order nearly as much as the dash in X1 did.Except 1: the Magnet Beam requires Guts Man's weapon or redoing Elec Man's stage 2: Ice Man and Guts Man are the main stages that it's useful in, and Ice Man is weak to Elec Man's weapon anyways so you aren't as limited so if you're willing to do Guts Man's stage without the magnet beam the only limit is just "Don't do Elec Man before Guts Man if you don't want to redo his stage" 3: MM1 is universally recognized as deeply flawed and early enough they didn't know better.
You need magnet beam in wily 1, so its not optional
I do recognize the flaw in X1 tho hence why i mentioned it has its flaws, but they arent in the levels themselves
It also presents a bug that makes the upgraded charged buster worse, some bosses are heavily designed around dashing even tho dashing is only obtained going throught chill penguin, it lacks in the enemy variety department a bit,etc...
Its still the most consistent all the way throught.

MM&B is pretty hard but pretty cool.I think I liked Mega Man & Bass best because of the increased mobility and edginess of Bass.
I love that song too, its a perfect cold day theme for me.When I was a kid I thought I did not like music at all, something that mostly held until my teens, but I had a big moment when one of the ice stage tracks from Megaman really hit me hard one day. I'm guessing it must've been the one from 7
