Unofficial Official Mega Man Thread

The Mega Man 4 remake has so many cool options. 3 playables, infinite lives toggle, can air dash, you can even swap between a Sega Genesis soundtrack done with custom instruments by artists, or a more faithful OST done in the style of Wily Wars' twangy music.

I'm nearing the endgame of BN6. What are Gregar and Falzar's weak spots (how do I know when I can attack?)

I heard somewhere that Gregar has two hurt boxes, so Corn Fiesta is useful on him.

I typically go for whenever Gregar does a breath attack (been too long since I’ve played Falzar to weigh in there).

Also, Reflector is king against Gregar. It does twice as much damage and can give a counter on the breath attacks. Even better is that Rare variants of Mettaur can give * Code for 2 and 3.

Managed to defeat Duo. Not sure what I would have done if I didn't have ThunderMan's Soul Unison, like if I were playing Blue Moon.

Is Mega Man: The Wily Wars on Genesis the definitive way to play the first 3 games that were on NES?

Funny you should ask, I was just playing the Wily Wars version of MM1 yesterday. There are oddities (the Yellow Devil and Wily Machine I found to be much easier despite the absence of classic glitches, while Cut Man is a legitimate with just the buster due to him taking only one damage per hit from it in that version) but it was much better than dealing with the input lag on Legacy Collection.

The one for 4 is awesome.

Finally encountered the Night Rare virus and recruited Nightmare for the Virus Battler.

I fulfilled the request that rewards the Number Open program. I'm considering loading a folder with program advances. And any tips for the Graveyard?

The only PAs I would run are ones that help you do sub-10 second deletions on bosses, such as Bodyguard. Most are Awesome, but Impractical otherwise. Unless you're trying to fill out the PA memo, then go nuts.

I don't really have much to say about the Graveyard since the RV Navis are optional even in the context of 100%. Just run a good general folder for quick virus deletions and avoid the very obvious Bass boss trigger until you're ready.

Rockman X DiVE is shutting down on September 27. The global Mega Man X DiVE is going to be online after the Taiwan/Japan servers shut down, but probably not for that much longer.

That is the Megaman franchise gatcha right?

RIP. Always sad to see all the hard work just go up in smoke.

Yes.

Hopefully some of this can survive in a single player game.

Like there's so much good stuff here.

What do I need to do to enter Graveyard 2? The gate says "Mark of M". I'm guessing that means Mega Chips, but my library is full.

I rescued Otenko, how would I go about fighting that Boktai boss?

Do you have all the Django chips and the Count chips? Django 3 can be easily missed due to a stupid oversight.

Also, just go back to the place you find the Count after rescuing Otenko.

I know about the Django 3 problem. I just haven't done any of the Virus Battlers after the second one. The pufferfish viruses were giving me trouble and I know the remaining Virus Battlers have the Pulse Bulb viruses.

I personally used an old GameFAQs guide to beat the Virus Battler. It was (mostly) consistent and required fairly little investment.

Apparently it’s Lan’s birthday today.

Lan and Hub's birthday you mean.

I've been working on the anime's recap pages. Anybody feel like helping out?

I tried Sky Town's Virus Battler and ran out of time on the last battle.

All other attempts ended in failure on the second round alone thanks to the Pulse Bulb.

This GameFAQ should help. It's what I used.

I tried that guide from your previous post.

It said to use Star Fish and Honey Bomber for Round 2. Unfortunately, the Pulse Bulb constantly paralyzes them, which is not good since Pulse Bulb has elemental advantage over Star Fish.

In general, the problem with Pulse Bulbs is their free movement and go straight to their opponents.

I remember those Armadillo viruses' ability to block stuff when attacking being useful.

x2 There's a degree of luck involved, but as long as you placed the viruses correctly it should work a decent amount of the time.
