Yeah I kind of agree. I think they are slowly getting back into the thick of things for Mega Man. I think the hiatus might actually a blessing in disguise. Hopefully this means Mega Man will make a major comeback in some form. On a personal level, I'd like whatever game comes next to have gameplay aspects of the Mega Man X series. Namely the Dashing and Armors. I guess collecting Heart Tanks is alright too, but starting at full health and just buffing defense is fine by me.
It seems pretty clear to me he tried to beat you in the real world if he can't handle your skills as Zero. I finished my first run of X4 as Zero not that long ago, I think the fight is a bit easier with him as Zero rather than Mega Man X. But every other boss is certainly easier as Mega Man X. Though that might be because most of Sigma's forms don't require any special weapon to best him, so you can just rush in.
*as X. I'm currently running through with Zero, though. Slash Dash Cancel is fun to pull off.
Even better. I always did like Mega Man X more. With Zero I tried doing the 3 hit combo into Ryuenjin into Ice Stab. It's a bit slower though. Something about that combo looks cool to me.
You can stand right behind him when he's in the air, and your slashes will hit him iirc.
Hump the wall or like right below him? I'll try it next time I play.
Below him.
I wish I knew that earlier. Oh well, I still managed to kick his ass.
Dude, I get you. While Mega Man 9 and 10 were really good games, They shouldn't rely solely on the older artstyle if they can bring the series to new heights. I do think a lot of the classic gameplay elements should still be remembered, including the charge shot and slide. The collection might not sell too well on the 3DS given the E-Shop has these same games.
I might get it. It's 15 bucks and I only have one the classic games on me. I don't know, I'll have to think it over.
Out of all the Classic Mega Man games(not counting spinoffs or the GB games)the only one I don't have is the first game. That can be easily remedied, though. Speaking of collections, what did the Anniversary Collection have other than MM1 - 8?
Mega Man Power Fighter iirc
To be fair, the ones in the collection (1-6) are being remade on a new engine and I could see difficulties having 7 and 8 on there due to differences in gameplay and mechanics whereas 1-6 shared theirs.
It had the two arcade fighters in it. The MMX collection had the racing game(which needed to be translated). And somehow, neither bothered to add Mega Man and Bass, but the GBA version might've been out at the time.
Could it really be that hard? I mean, there isn't THAT much of a difference between the generations, is there? Or is it possible that Capcom opted out of springing for the extra development to include them?
Actually bumped into the original Arcade version while on vacation at Mackinaw Island. lol
MM&B got it's GBA port in 2003. Both Anniversary Collections came out in 2004/5. Personally I'm more bummed the GB Anniversary Collection for the GBA was cancelled.
IIRC Mega Man moves slower in 7 and all the sprites are bigger compared to 1-6? I know 8 has things like swimming and the shoot-em-up sections that use different mechanics compared to how water/Rush Jet work in 1-6.
Graphical differences are one thing, but as far as mechanics go, it doesn't feel as if there's a major difference in the usual mechanics between, say, 6 and 7. 8 just has a few more actions you can perform under certain circumstances(swimming, Rush Jet and whatnot), but otherwise feels pretty much like any of the older games.
A downgrade? How so?
Like, mechanics-wise, such as having virtually nothing in terms of gameplay or features that hadn't already appeared in previous installments of the series, and very little change in the gameplay formula that had been used since the first game. To me, at least, it feels lacking compared to 7.
I don't think there could've been any significant changes at that point due to being the same series. MM8 didn't feel much different from 7 most likely due not being as big a jump from 7 as 7 was from 6. Not that it's a problem, I mean, what changes did the series warrant that wouldn't be wasted? Mega Man has a stable gameplay formula, so there's no real need to alter it in any major way. The only real changes he's had over the years were various gadgets(Rush, Beat and so on) and improved abilities(sliding, Charge Buster, swimming)to help him navigate the many stages, but nothing that's a real game-changer in the grand scheme of it all.
I think this "floatiness" happens to many characters when moving to newer hardware, but other than that he felt more or less the same as in previous games. As for why E-Tanks were gone, I have no idea. Rush Medic was there, so you could still get health and energy in a pinch, though it would've been easier to just have the E and W-Tanks to begin with.
MM8 is still one of my favorites of the Classic series, but I don't know if it really stands out. It seems like just any other MM game to me.
Wait, really? What's the source of that?
The leaker tweeted it, RandomTBush iirc
Someone named RandomTBush posted the leaked costumes. It's nice to see Mega Man get all this attention, not just the original series, but multiple facets of the franchise. With this and the new Cartoon on the way, I wonder if Capcom's gearing up for something cool.
