Topic: The Mega Man Fan Club

Yeah I figured that the Drill Bombs could be blown up by pressing the shoot button again, but the only reason I found that out was cause of a walkthrough I looked up online cause I was having the same problem at first with the Second Wily machine. Once you get the timing down though Dragoon it wont be hard at all, heck I dont even use an energy tank.

@StuffyStuff: Yeah I noticed that two that alot of the bosses in the Castles were weak against either Ring Boomerang and Dust Crusher but that is pretty much the same with most MM games. In MM2 most of the Castle bosses are weak to the Quick Boomerang, The Dragon, The Gutsdozer just to name two of them.

@MegaStoneSmash91 Yep agree MM4 has some of the best and most unique weapons of any of the original series. I use Rain Flush alot when I just want to clear out a room mainly when its full of the Bubble Bats or in the one section of Cossacks castle I think it is where theres a couple ladders that you have to go up but those spinning robots are on the platforms. I also use the Skull barrier in the first level of Cossacks castle where you jump across the gaps and those things shoot up from the pits.

True about multiple Wily bosses being defeated with the same weapon. I don't understand the reasoning behind the creators not mixing it up. It's not like it makes logical sense to kill things with bubbles and compacted garbage. It's funny how, for me anyway, some games have weapons you can use throughout the game, but other games like MM5 I pretty much only use the Mega Buster the entire time, even on the bosses. I use the Needle Cannon and Elec Beam until it runs out in every level, but I can't find a use for any weapon in MM5 other than Gyro Attack.

So I finally started playing MM6. I've played all the robot master stages so far, beat three of the masters, and...

...I'm pretty sure this is my vote for weakest link in the classic series. I can't say I'm really enjoying it as much as the others. Not a bad game, but it's making me want to just play MM5 again instead.

@Chicken_Brutus: Wow thats different than me I thought MM5 was the weakest link of the classic series. MM5 seemed almost like a rushed job to me and I liked MM6 alot better.

Agreed. I think MM6 is a pretty good game. Plant Man is stupid as hell but his level is one of the more fun ones in the game. I hate switching between Rush Adapters and being forced to see the little cut scene they give you when they're chosen.

I won't deny that 5 felt a little like they phoned it in, but it's still a fan game, and I was surprised by how much I liked it. It's a little cut-and-paste, but, hey, it worked for what it was.

With 6 though, it's obvious that they put a lot of additional effort into the game...but it's all just tying some bows and ribbons to things we had anyway. (I'm thinking specifically of the "deluxe" boss title screens, and the dramatic thunderclap when you make it to a boss room.) Other things that they added for this game actually make routine features seem irritating (such as the cutscenes when switching adapters).

I don't doubt that 6 got a lot of effort. It's just effort that either doesn't do much for me, or makes the game less fun to play. 5 was a good game overall, even if the fortress stages kind of sucked. And I loved the Gravity Man and Wave Man stages.

You can skip the cutscenes when you switch adapters by pressing a button which I usually do after the millionth time seeing it. I do like how the added the specs for the robot masters when you selected them kinda interesting see them. I do like Wavemans stage in MM5 especially the jet ski part I thought that was original, but everything else felt kinda blah in MM5 to me but as they say to each their own.

Overall how are you liking the AC their Chicken Brutus?

Yeah, some weapons are just great to run around with, like the Thunder Beam, Metal Blade, Needle Cannon, Shadow Blade, Pharaoh Shot, and so many others. I know what you mean about the weapons in 5, too. The weapons in MM5 are pretty boring and most of them aren't nearly as useful as the Mega Buster. Once in a while, though, I'll just think: "Hey, I think I'll bring out (insert weapon name) and play around with it for a while", even though using the Buster is usually a better idea. I can't think of good uses for the weapons either. Crystal Eye is almost pointless, Power Stone is extremely hard to hit enemies with and it isn't as powerful as the name suggests. Napalm Bombs are kind of cool, but they drop right in front of you and move along the ground too slowly. Gravity Hold could have been useful, but it runs out too fast and some enemies aren't affected by it unless you use it more than once. Since there are quite a few airborn enemies in the game, the usefulness of Charge Kick and Water Wave is limited (although Water Wave isn't too bad of a weapon). Star Crash is just as useful as Skull Barrier in MM4, except you can fire this one.

Or you can just skip the cutscene altogether by using the C-stick! THis is one of the better things about the AC, and it goes for the other games, too. You can use the C-stick to cycle through Rush Forms, and even the Balloon and Wire Adapters in MM4.

I love Mega Man 6, and anyone who likes the other ones should like it too, since it's just more Mega-Goodness. I like the music better in 6, 5 was kind of a letdown on most of the music. The weapons are better than the ones in 5, too. It's too bad that a lot of people don't like MM6. And again, if you're playing on the AC (Not sure if you are), you can use the C-stick to cycle through adapters. Unless of course you're playing the PS2 or XBox versions, but the right stick should work on PS2 as well (not sure about XBox).

Huh, I'll be damned. I had no idea you could use the C-Stick to cycle the adapters. xD

Awesome!

First thread on the page, how ironic.

The MM game I owned was MM4, and my favorite? SkullMan obviously. For me MM 1 through 4 represent the glory days. And Mega Man X is the best MM game ever made.

@WaveBoy: I'm not good at picking favorites, so I'm not really sure which is my favorite. I like them all, and saying that MM2 is my favorite would be too simple since it's everyones favorite. Anything negative I have to say about any of the games would be nitpicking on my part because I don't really hate anything about them other than small details. 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, & 10 are probably all the ones I like the best, but I suppose I should narrow it down a bit. Remember that I think they're all good, so this list is just of the ones I like the best (and it may not be entirely accurate, but It's basically correct):

Top 5
1: Mega Man 4
2: Mega Man 2
3: Mega Man 7
4: Mega Man 8
5: Mega Man 6

In reality, I like them all enough to not pick any favorites because it's difficult. They're all good games. Maybe I should just say that they're all my favorites. My lists would be totally different if I was picking out favs according to music or weapons. As for my least favorite? In terms of weapons and music: Mega Man 5. Yes I do love it for the gameplay and just being a Mega Man game, but the weapons and music are not that good compared to other titles in the series. If I had to pick a least favorite based on the game itself, it would be either MM1 or MM5. Again, I like them all, so saying that one is my least favorite isn't actually saying as much as it should.

Wow no mention of MM3 at all in that post MegaStoneSmash91. So is that one not as much liked as the other ones? If I had a list of which one I liked the best overall it would probably look something this.

Megaman 3
Megaman 2
Megaman 4
Megaman 6
Megaman
Megaman 7
Megaman 5
Megaman 8

I know its kinda cliche making MM3 my number one but I just cant help enjoy the music and level designs the most out of the other Megaman games. In truth I am like MegaStoneSmash and it is hard for me to choose. Even though I have MM9 and 10 downloaded on my Wii I just havent got to them yet so I cant add them on the list yet.

I'll just put this here.

I look forward to one of Megaman's incarnations in this game too!

I've been skipping the cut scene by pressing the fire button, but it's still annoying because the cut scene has to reach a certain point before you can skip it, so it still breaks the flow of the action. I didn't know you could cycle through items with the C-Stick, and I may start doing that, but using the C-Stick to select items instead of pausing is going to be tough to remember to do. I'm used to pausing to switch items, and never bothered to unlearn that for 7, 8 or 10.

Oh well.

As of right now...

2 > 9 > 4 > 7 > 10 > 3 > 5 > 1 > 8 > 6

Oh man MM4 has my favorite music of the series.

@Tasuki - Mega Man 3 is the cliche thing to say, but who cares, most people like the game. The Wily music is the best in the series and I like how the music for the castle cutscene goes right into the song of the level.

Nobody asked but my favorite games in order are 2, 9, 4, 10, 1, 6, 3, 5, 8, 7. Even then, I still really like 7 and 8, I just really hate how the first Wily stage starts you out on that damn snowboard in 8. The only reason 3 is so low on my list is that it's by far the easiest game in the series.

To answer a previous question, I don't play 6 on the AC, I have the original cartridge.

@StuffyStuff: I never noticed that the Wily music goes from the cutscene right into the level in MM3. My favorite Wily music is the first Wily stage in MM2. I know once again its cliche but that song always gets me pumped up when I hear it.

I would play 6 on the NES but I dont own the cartridge or a NES, but if I did I would be playing the original cartridges more than the AC. I could download MM1-4 on the Wii but I dont see the point since I own the AC and I can use that money on other games or things. The only reason I have the AC is cause I bought it when it first came out on the GC because it had all the MM games on it that I had played in years. And considering even with all the faults and differences I still say its one of the best and well done collections around.

I would agree that the collection is done well, it's just the damn A/B swap. I had it originally on the Xbox and the controls were better. Nothing beats playing it with the original controller and the Wii Remote is as close as you can get. First Wily in MM2 has an awesome song too. Come to think of it, there aren't many bad songs with the original six games. I'm struggling to think of one. Even the last level in MM2 where there's no music is cool.
