Use the small break to shoot him from afar, or attack after you dodged the tornadoes. Get in as many shots as you can during this. Some players choose to challenge Air Man first, as he's also beatable with the Mega Buster cannon.
When he's defeated, you'll receive his weapon, the Air Shooter, and an important item: Transport Item 2
>idk how to play video games >your retort?
Then stop playing them.
Games in the 80s are absolutely balanced to take fricking huge amounts of time to complete by design since there were no alternatives. It was beat the game or go out and buy a new game, of which there were only like 20 total.
Nowadays, in a world where millions of games are a click away, there is no excuse to suffer through game overs sending you back to the beginning of the level.
Game developers know this and add save states and infinite lives cheats in re-releases of old games.
only games it's ok to save-state in are old PC games like Wizardry because you were EXPECTED to back-up your party into some other drive (which is why so many enemies insta-kill you with troll attacks)
Now, NES platformers? No excuse. Just use Woodman's weapon on him.
Yeah there are sometimes it’s literally impossible to jump over a wind attack without hitting another. It’s just random. Shit game design. Actually now that I think about it basically every boss in this game is this hard and annoying
Look up in the sky
It's a bird
It's a plane
It's Airman b***h you know I'm bringing the pain
I got a fan installed in my grill no lie
Gonna blow your ass straight off the map
Goodbye
I use to think save states were cheating, but then I realized I'm not competing with anyone, so it doesn't matter. Play the game the way tha you feel is the most fun.
But getting to the boss with enough lifes to be able to beat him is part of the challenge. The goal of playing a stage is not to be able beat it, but to be able to beat it consistently.
They had a pretty crazy falling out and Duane was a piece of shit and ran off with a bunch of charity money they had raised
But then Brando started getting weird and dressing up as a woman I think
I dunno, I haven't followed much since
why the frick cant people just be normal.
i hope if i ever get e-famous (or famous in general) i dont wind up a washed out deadbeat or doing really dumb buttholey crap that winds up boning my career
I can't beat Air Man!
I can't dodge his tornadoes no matter how many times I try.
Even when I get behind him and keep shooting, I still end up getting blown away by his wind.
I have also tried the often-abused repeated pause technique, but it's kinda meaningless against the tornadoes.
So in order to win for sure the next time, I'll be stocking up on nothing but Energy Tanks.
Run/jump up behind him, just eat the hit. Follow by laying as many shots as possible into his back. Stop trying and failing to dodge his air and watching your shots get bounced away.
>this generation can't play megaman
It's just a downward spiral of inabilities isn't it? The lack of a forced tutorial frick you up? Maybe infinite lives would be a better diaper for you.

2003 zoomer here
Air Man is literally the first boss in Mega Man i ever remember actually beating
It's really easy if you use another power. It has been so fricking long but I never forgot that shit after doing it so many times as a kid because I never botherted with these shitty passwords. >the first two: Metalman and Woodman >kill Airman with the leaf power >metal (IIRC) makes waterman fight trivial >water makes fireman trivial >the guy who jumps around and throws bomb is easily killed with airman power >then there is the guy who stops times, I think metalman power is the best here, not sure tbh >finally for quick dude use the time stopper power (you can also use it to avoid the lasers in his level)
For the rest I'm not sure. I think there is a fricking annoying fight where you need to break walls and you have to be really careful with your bomb power use or you're fricked.
i thought you fight air man on an open platform.
>2024
>He still can't beat airman

>save state
I’m not playing through the same stage over and over just to beat this moronic boss
>save state
If my 6 year old brother could do it on the NES back in the early 90s so can you.
>le you have to do it like in the 80s
okay but what if i dont. your retort?
Then you're a homosexual and a pussy and you will absolutely never be a woman.
have fun wasting your time while i have fun with the game unlike you competing with and proving pointless shit to yourself alone in your basement.
>you will absolutely never be a woman.
good. why the frick would i want to be a woman.
Why wouldn’t you?
>idk how to play video games
>your retort?

If you save state then you didn't really beat the boss

Now, NES platformers? No excuse. Just use Woodman's weapon on him.
This has gotta be bait but if it isn't, how the frick do you have trouble with Air Man? He's second to Metal Man one of the easiest ones to kill.
Unless you ran out of lives, you'll start at the boss gate if you die to him.
beat woodman first
With ease. Stop being a braindead shitter.
A fricking leaf
Are there some patterns from his opening attack that are impossible to dodge?
Yeah there are sometimes it’s literally impossible to jump over a wind attack without hitting another. It’s just random. Shit game design. Actually now that I think about it basically every boss in this game is this hard and annoying
Let him use the wind attack 3 times, stay on the left when he jumps over there, and use the leaf shield until he's defeated.

Just keep running and shooting at him. When starts to move, immediately turn around and start running and shooting again
I use to think save states were cheating, but then I realized I'm not competing with anyone, so it doesn't matter. Play the game the way tha you feel is the most fun.
Saving right before the boss is not cheating, it just saves time. Save stating after every successful hit is cheating.
But getting to the boss with enough lifes to be able to beat him is part of the challenge. The goal of playing a stage is not to be able beat it, but to be able to beat it consistently.
You Can (Not) Beat Airman
My leaves jammed your fan.
DEAD
Flash Man part was underrated
I prefer their Final Fantasy rap personally. Shame what happened to them.
The FF one is what gave me such a fondness for naming a lot of my casters Leo in RPGs
SHIT--
THERE BETTER'VE BEEN PIZZA 2,000 YEARS AGO!
yea you butthole
what happened
They had a pretty crazy falling out and Duane was a piece of shit and ran off with a bunch of charity money they had raised
But then Brando started getting weird and dressing up as a woman I think
I dunno, I haven't followed much since

You need to get some fresh air, man
jump over the non moving air thing and shoot him. He's like the easiest boss in MM2.
Didn't you watch the music video, you have to beat Wood Man first to beat Air Man. If you can't defeat Wood Man, then you have to go defeat Heat Man.
Go ahead and use savestates but don't pretend you beat him, you simply cheated to get past him.
Run/jump up behind him, just eat the hit. Follow by laying as many shots as possible into his back. Stop trying and failing to dodge his air and watching your shots get bounced away.
Roll, my beloved.

Megaman being hard and airman being a tough boss are memes that predate your birth

quit pretending to play Fair
you have no Reason to be bound by the rules
give in to your truE desires
be done with it, and move on to the nExt
>Step 1: beat Metal Man
>Step 2: spam Metal Blades. FOREVER.
I assume you're doing this on difficult because on normal he's a fricking pushover with the normal buster.
