Unofficial Official Mega Man Thread

Aile mode is almost strictly better, as the only difference is one mission, which lets you change her palette while Vent's equivalent mission just gets you a one-time-use item.

My Sister plays Vent so we're both Cross Playing, So Yeah.

So I just went onto Twitter for the first time ever. I mostly went there just to see what the people of Neo GAF were talking about when they meant 'meltdowns over at Twitter regarding the Health Care Reform'.

The meltdowns were indeed crazy, but then I decided to search 'Rockman' for the heck of it.

...I think I just stumbled upon some massive Twitter RP, with people using accounts named after EXE characters. So far, I see Rockman.EXE, Netto, Serenade.EXE, Numberman.EXE. Starman.EXE, Dark Rockman, and Higure (Higsby). And those are just the people who have accounts named after EXE characters. I see several others who aren't using such accounts. The person running the Rockman EXE account in particular appears to be tweeting something every 10 minutes or so.

It's all in Japanese though, but these people are crazy awesome.

Or just crazy.

So I beat Advent a while ago, the Final Boss was indeed awesome.

Also HOLY CRAP EXPERT MODE IS INSANE!

There was a port to the Mobile that was much better than the first port, and it had Roll as a playable character.

I now want those Roll Sprites.

So I'm sure you all have heard about the new Nintendo handheld by now. Especially the part where it supposedly has 3D capabilities.

New Network timeline series is extremely likely. I hope to god that the EXE/SF development team had been working on something else alongside OSS, because I highly doubt OSS would have required the attention of the entire team.

Perhaps even Legends 3 too, as I would think Legends 3 would sell lots more on a handheld than on a Wii at the moment.

Hmm... Only played a little bit of Legends as a kid, but perhaps I should give it a chance should I find a copy (Ha!).

In other Mega Man related news, finally defeated all the bosses in Mega Man 10, Solar Man made this one a huge pain in the ass for me, but finally managed to kill him using only the Buster.

They'd have to re-release Legends 1 and 2 first, Alilatias.

I thought they already did that through the PSN and PSP though. Multiple times. In Japan at least.

...So Yeah.

(ducks under the barrage of buster shots)

I played megaman 2 I believe it was. never got past devil dragon sadly.

Old-school time, tropers! How many of you have played the Gameboy Mega Man V? Those Stardroids were awesome bosses.

Yes! I played through that game not too long ago. I got to the second Wily Hand right before my computer exploded. <_<

I beat it on my Gameboy Color. It's deliciously challenging, and Wily Machine V is quite a chage from the norm.

All the stardroids had some pretty nifty abilities though. Pluto's Strike Dash in particular puts me in mind of the Nova Strike...

Oh, yes. Mega Man V for GB was one of the more refreshing Mega Man titles out there. Sadly my GBA's a bit broken and I can't play it anymore. ;_;

It wasn't that challenging. The only level that gave me huge trouble was Venus's stage. I mean geeze...

Okay, managed to download Special Stage 1 Enker this afternoon.

I admit I died quite a bit the first few times I played it, but once you practice for a while and know what's coming and when, it's still not that much of a threat. The Mole segment at the end is more annoying than difficult.

As for Enker himself, his AI got quite an upgrade and is now somewhat challenging but still pretty easy once you know how to deal with him. Most of my troubles with him is trying to figure if he's going to jump or not and delaying the Mirror Buster to throw off my timing.

Quint is not amused.

I am also not amused. Do you know why? (Hint: You'll have to know me well.)

^^Nitro Rider, not Nitro Spirit. Apparently they were trying to reference Kamen Rider or something.

^^ I don't know you.

Anyway, after beating both ZX's I tried to go back to Castlevania, but I couldn't do it. I've become addicted to dashes and wall jumping.

Don't the newer Castlevania games have dash moves?

It's a backdash actually. I keep hitting the button on reflex and moving backwards, usually resulting in a hit. D:

After playing Castlevania, I tried to double-jump in Metroid.

After playing Metroid, I tried to single-wall-jump in Castlevania.

I just beat Mega Man 2 for the first time in my life. Fucking...hell yes.

I beat the first game a few days ago, and I even beat the Yellow Devil without the Pause trick. I really do believe I'm getting better at these games.
