History YMMV / MegaManXCommandMission

** Epsilon's Metacrush. A HPToOne attack where you can only watch helplessly as someone is dragged into point-blank range of Epsilon's cannons and then sent flying... should not look like a butt-check.

** Axl can copy the abilities of certain bosses, and one of those bosses he can copy is the last of the Ninetails clan. However, instead of copying his Annihilator Hadouken, he copies the much weaker Nine Fragments attack[[note]]which deals 999 damage 9 times, for a total of 8991 damage[[/note]] - admittedly, considering how powerful this is, it would've been a huge GameBreaker[[note]]not to mention that by the time you face him, he's the strongest enemy in the game, since he's a BonusBoss only available after beating the game[[/note]], but it would be sweet to use that attack - plus, by the time you can challenge said boss, you've already beaten the game anyways, so it's not like doing so would make the game too easy.

** Among the bosses (Depth Dragoon, Duckbill Mole and Rafflesian) that were planned to have bigger role as chapter boss, Rafflesian (alongside her Belladonnas) is the one who got hit the hardest by the story-cutting. Not only she got demoted to a secret boss, she has no relevance to the villains and the story whatsoever other than to give the player a challenging battle to obtain X's Ultimate Armor (at the very least, Duckbill Mole is Rebellion Army's accomplice and Depth Dragoon is [[spoiler:Redips's]] henchman). Her ''extremely'' petty and childish reasoning for attacking X's team certainly doesn't help things.

* FanonDiscontinuity: Some players like to ignore the final chapter [[spoiler:and the AssPull plot twists it makes, particularly in regards to [[HijackedByGanon Spider and Redips]], preferring to believe the game ended with Epsilon's defeat.]]

* EnsembleDarkHorse: Nana gets a surprising amount of love from fans despite her somewhat removed role in the story. Marino and Ferham are also quite popular for... [[BoobsOfSteel reasons]].

*** When using Cinnamon's Action Trigger, she lets out a whiny "Pleaaase~" that sounds oddly pathetic and out of place.

* TierInducedScrappy: Gameplay-wise, Massimo is the ''worst'' party member. In his basic form, he takes ''150%'' damage from ''all'' sources, meaning despite his slightly higher than normal HP, he's incredibly vulnerable. [[MightyGlacier His enhanced attack is offset by his very slow speed]]. His trigger into Golden Armor Massimo makes him take 50% damage from all sources, but it's limited in how much he can use it. On top of that, Massimo can only equip two Force Metals (the lowest out of the playable characters). As soon as you get ''anyone else'', you'll probably end up pulling him out of your party and never using him again.

* SpiritualLicensee: To the ''Franchise/BreathOfFire'' series, also created by Creator/{{Capcom}}. This game looks more like a ''[=BoF=]'' game released for sixth-generation consoles than [[VideoGame/BreathOfFireDragonQuarter the actual]] ''[[VideoGame/BreathOfFireDragonQuarter BoF]]'' [[VideoGame/BreathOfFireDragonQuarter game]] released for a sixth-generation console.

* WhatAnIdiot: Scarface storming Central Tower was a reckless rookie mistake. To make matters worse, after his defeat he flees back to the Grave Ruins Base, allowing Nana to easily trace his location and discover Epsilon's hideout. Without this blunder, X's party would have had a much harder time finding Epsilon. Thanks, Scarface.

* TierInducedScrappy: Gameplay-wise, ''Massimo'' is [[TierInducedScrappy/LowTiers the worst party member]].

** A lot of reviewers in more recent years have lamented that the entire game's design is this. It's touted as a role-playing game, but the reality of the matter is that only covers gearing your characters and the turn-based combat; the game itself focuses ''very little'' on character interactions and story, only having obligatory cutscenes to drive the plot forwards as several party members dip OutOfFocus once their introduction arc is finished. Rather than having the whole of Giga City to explore and a world to really delve into, everything is largely glossed over and instead you just go from area to area like they instead wrapped the RPG formula around a linear Mega Man game. In a series with a massive pool of lore and character detail squirreled away behind platformers that can't really spare the capability to develop them, this ends up feeling like a totally wasted opportunity.

** The fact that you only fight Wild Jango, Silver Horn, Mad Nautilus (and not his inferior form Dr Psyche), Mach Jentra and Incentias in the final chapter's BossRush isn't just a gameplay thing but also has some basis in the story. They're the only Mavericks that could easily have their data copied unlike Epsilon and his henchmen Shadow, Scarface and Botos who are all dead, [[spoiler: Ferham hasn't returned yet]] and they were Redip's main opposition, additionally Redips knew nothing about Hippopressor hence why Depth Dragoon serves the same purpose as it does.

* ThatOneBoss: Botos in Chapter 7 can be a real pain in the neck, hitting your party with annoying status effects and constantly summoning helpers that need to be disposed of.
