History Awesome / MegaManBattleNetwork

* After you defeat Flameman, Bass shows up, intending to face the strong. Match orders Flameman to face him, upon which Bass ''obliterates'' Flameman in a single strike, leaving a crater where he stood. He then turns to Megaman, his intended opponent, [[HopelessBossFight and you can't defeat him.]] It's a pretty frightening demonstration of how big a threat he is.
* When Megaman gets ambushed and cornered by the rank 6, 5 and 4 Navis and they throw a boulder at him when he has no room to dodge, Gutsman appears and shows off the fruits of his training by punching the rock into pieces and then finishing all 3 Navis with a Gutshammer. Rank 3 is impressed enough that he takes on Gutsman's appearance to fight Megaman.
* After Drillman's defeat, Bass swoops in and swipes Alpha. Megaman and Lan decide to unleash the Giga Freeze, only for Bass to catch it mid-air, revealing himself to be the other Chosen One that S alluded to. This builds on the hype for the eventual showdown at the end of the game, and later into the postgame.

* Cossak helps unlock the elevator for the cast to proceed through the WWW base, but encounters Bass on the way out. Despite just being a few steps from the exit, he instead turns to face Bass, and attempts to delete him ''with his own hands''.
* One of the modified tanks in the WWW base is firing bubbles at Lan that are preventing him from pressing forward. Lan can't reach the tank to jack in because of the constant bubbles being fired by the canon. [[BigDamnHeroes Enter Dex]], who throws a boulder on the tank that plugs the bubble cannon.

* The postgame content for both the third and fifth games are each minor story arcs unto themselves, each culminating with a FinalBattle against a {{Superboss}} with some of the heaviest SuperWeight in the entire plot. As tough as it is to get there, the payoff is entirely worth it.

** Lifesword: The three different sword chips combine into a giant sword.
** Master Cross: In Battle Network 6, by selecting [=FireHit3A, AquaNdle3A, ElecPuls3A, and RskyHny3A=], this gives an advance that summons every cross form to appear and attack the enemy in a barrage

* The [=PlantMan=] scenario, where Lan and Mega Man are kicking viral ass to save Mamoru from dying, was so ManlyTears inspiring that the whole scenario is a gigantic CMOA for the series in general!

* Mega Man does something selflessly heroic and suicidally stupid at the drop of a hat to the point where it stops being awesome sometime around game 2. That said, the ending of [=BN3=] felt like they finally figured out how to do a proper Heroic Sacrifice with all the awesome due to such a moment. Even his resurrection after the credits is so well done as a [=CMOH=] that finally, FINALLY Mega has some Awesome in his pants. And then they hit us with [=BN4=]...

-->'''Colonel''': ''[[BadassBaritone Let's go, Lan Hikari!]]''

* [[BonusBoss Bass.EXE]] is a recurring boss throughout the series, and is without fail one of the most difficult fights the game has in store for you. Since you have to use everything at your disposal to win, each victory you score against him is satisfying, and some players will [[BestBossEver challenge him again for sport]].

* The postgame content for both the third and fifth games are each minor story arcs unto themselves, each culminating with a FinalBattle against a BonusBoss with some of the heaviest SuperWeight in the entire plot. As tough as it is to get there, the payoff is entirely worth it.

* The fight against [=Serenade.EXE=] has plenty of hype for it, as Serenade has been TheGhost and TheUnfought up to this point, and the BonusDungeon area bosses before have drummed them up as an imposing figure. When you finally come face-to-face with Serenade, you realize that they don't look the part... and then the fight starts and Serenade shows you how they got there. Figuring out the strategy and prevailing takes more than just brute force, and getting [=MegaMan=] crowned ''[[AsskickingEqualsAuthority King of the Undernet]]'' for winning is the cherry on top.

* [=ShadeMan=], who's completely immune to [=MegaMan=]'s attacks, demands that he and Lan return the [=DarkChip=] they found. Out of options, [=MegaMan=] tosses him the chip... and then ''shoots it in mid-air'', destroying it. [=ShadeMan=] is not pleased. (Fortunately, [=MegaMan=] gets a way to damage him in the ensuing battle.)
** The awesomeness of said moment is somewhat lessened, however, by the fact that the cutscene shows that [=MegaMan=] could have destroyed the Dark Chip earlier at any time after Higsby warned him to get rid of it, but didn't because... because.

* In the second tournament, Lan's opponent, Riki, is a member of the mafia has his Navi, Crusher, kidnapped by his boss when it becomes apparent he wants to drop out. On the way to rescuing Crusher, Lan and [=MegaMan=] find out about other members of the mafia planning to bump off the boss in order to take control for themselves. The boss has a change of heart about Riki and confronts the traitors when they attempt to kill him and Lan. When they go to attack her, the screen goes dark for half a second, followed by the sound effect for the '''''[[StreetFighter Shun Goku Satsu]]'''''. The screen then returns to normal, with both attackers on the ground. [[NeverMessWithGranny Not bad for an old lady]].
