With this whole new patch update, I've been thinking about where we can and should go from here. This may sound crazy, stupid to some, but we need to improve and fine-tune our offensive game. Yes, I know; Mega Man's offensive game isn't good compared to the majority of the cast, but if we want to still be a threat and be taken seriously, we need to improve our offensive game. Now, I'm not saying to be purely offensive, because that would be stupid. We need to have a balanced game between defensive and offensive play. We can't be too defensive anymore because of the shield nerfs and making every attack safer out of shield, but we can't be too offensive since that goes against how Mega Man is supposed to be play. However, we shouldn't just give up and say that we are now not viable. I went through a depression phase myself for this update, but I'm not going to let this bring me down. In fact, this allows us to experiment more and find new styles to work with. Me personally, I'm toning down some of my defensive gameplay to add to my offensive play. This would make us less predictable, because both styles in both the extreme directions get predictable after a while.
Basically, my message is "Don't get discouraged, my fellow Mega Mains. This change allows us to experiment in a new direction, one that might seem bad at first, but we need to learn to adapt in order to stand a chance." We can do this, guys. We just gotta practice and keep a positive mindset.
