    its a kids game

      Zero 1 sucks donkey dick, people pretend it's good because they played it as kids.
      The bosses (not the designs) suck ass, the levels suck ass, the music is repetitive and ass, everything sucks.

      The jump in quality from Zero 2 onwards is insane though, Zero 2 is currently one of my favorite GBA games and I played them all recently in a row like 2 years ago because a friend who grew up with them recommended them.
      I was about to skip Zero 1 but he told me suffer through it because Zero 2 would hit different after it and it sure fricking did.
      There is also this whole thing with some franchises making me feel nostalgia towards them without having played them as a kid, dead space does it to me, mmz does as well.

        They tried to do a Metroidvania which is very bold for a first game but I think they should’ve played it safe. The most annoying thing is lives, they are hard to come across and they aren’t as frequent as you think.

        I think Zero 1 is good and I just played it recently. The sequels are way better, but Zero himself feels good to control in any game, and the stages and bosses are just unremarkable in my opinion, for the most part. The whole thing of it being possible to permanently fail a mission and the Elf system, which they unfortunately kept until 3, are the only things about it I particularly don't like. Other than that, it's okay, which still puts it well below its fantastic sequels, but it's still okay.

          4 has a lot of good ideas like the weather system and having the final game being set in the area where Eurasia crashed is fitting. but then there's shit like the Z-Knuckle that's fricking worthless and some of the level designs bring the game down over all.

      Pretty sure Zero 2 was the only one that did that. I don't remember what the system was in Zero 3 but I don't think it was tied solely to your rank. It's been a long time since I ran a fresh save, though. In Zero 4, you got EX skills from beating bosses during disadvantageous weather.

        2/3's EX skills are only given out from A/S ranking stages. Though A ranking tends to be a freebe if you can beat a stage w/o dying regardless of how beat up you gotten doing such. 4 introduced the crafting system, and while you don't -need- A/S ranks to make them, without a guide you only learn the recipes to make such + the better armor bits via such.

Mega Man next to DMC in terms of relevancy, probably more since they at least bother to put effort into the recent Legacy Collections while DMC is basically just going to sit around until what staff isn't currently working on Dragon's Dogma 2 scrounge together a pitch for DMC6.

                It's clear COVID fricked over that leak list since it's from before lockdown, but SF6 was delayed more for the early drafts of the gameplay being dogshit under Ono (like the first two years of V and his original builds of 4 before Seth Killian risked his job to say it sucked), so they refreshed the devteam and delayed it while using an extra season of SFV to experiment.

            I will kindly remind you all that there are over 130 Mega Man games. They ran that shit into the fricking ground and burned out nearly all goodwill and interest towards it.

              Of those how many are actual mainline games though and how much is shit like Soccer or B&C? Like I'm actually curious, MM definitely doesn't have as many spin offs as some franchises but I can't imagine the main releases for each series add up to more than a few dozen.

              idk about other anons I'm an older zoomer so I got into Mega as a secondary through Bob & George and flash games and shit. It was very much a big part of my childhood but I missed out on Mega Man's real heyday, so I've always experienced Mega Man as a franchise kind of neglected by its creators - though I do remember MM9 feeling like a fricking massive deal.

                I think the amount of actual Mega Man games released by Capcom that can be considered canon comes out to forty-something, but when that's divided between several spin-offs it isn't as bad as it sounds.

        Probably has something to do with the mindset behind the game. X1 at the time was considered an experiment and they hit a home run. Meanwhile MM1 and MMZ were taken more seriously and as a result didnt do as well

      Mega Man is a platformer and enemy and stage design are made with you not being able to shoot upwards in mind. Plus with Zero you have angled coverage with the Z-Saber so aerial enemies are actually less of a threat. Not to mention the various weapons Mega Man gets that can cover different angles. Metal Slug on the other hand is purely running and gunning so platformer is, for the most part, ancillary to the experience. The nature of Metal Slug's challenge is different is all.

      Z2 > Z4 > Z3 > Z
      Z3 is just Z2 but worse by almost every metric, Z2's handful of faults in level design don't ruin it. Z4 on the other hand overhauled a lot of the systems for the better; yes Knuckle and the Weather system are good. Zero 1 took a lot of risks that mostly flopped but I respect it for that, the mission-based structure just didn't work.

      Play as Bass then. MM&B and MM10 are underrated.

          Outside of lightening up some on the ranking system, everything it changes in terms of mechanics and level design from 2 is just a little bit worse (underwater library is the worst level in the Zero series easily), and I find the story really unsatisfying despite the big climax since Omega not looking like MMX-era Zero confirming that the MMZ design is a retcon and not a new body was stupid, and the Guardians just being said to have died in the explosion with basically a handwave while Weil lived is a bummer too. Z2 & Z4 have the best plot beats, particularly 2's intro and 4's ending.

          Also Z2 easily has the best OST, Z2 is one of the best OSTs Capcom has ever put out in their history and one of the best of all time. Classic after classic that made you forget the limitations of the GBA soundchip.

            Honestly out of all Inti Creates games I personally only find Mega Man 9 and ZX 1's OSTs and some of the vocal tracks from Gunvolt to be memorable, not that the rest are bad or anything they're just not that catchy or memorable to me.

              MM9 is actually very close, I just think that like much of MM9, sticking to that NES aesthetic too closely held Inti back somewhat. I don't really have an attachment to ZX and Gunvolt as a whole passed me by although I think I'll try a select few at some point. Tracks like Departure, Ice Brain, Sand Triangle, etc. are just top shelf shit personally.

    MMZ is only good once you get the charge shot and sword attacks. The games push you to speedrun stages but you only get the tools later on in MMZ 1. There can be a very frustrating loop in MMZ1 where you just run forward in stages, facetanking enemies coming into the screen too quickly to react but then always getting health pickups since they become more common the lower your health. I think 2-4 improved on these things, as well as making it easier to get special abilities. Also, play with save states or the collection's special checkpoints. Don't bother doing it the hard way unless you specifically want the frustration.

          I got A's and S' doesnt mean i dont like getting stronger as i play instead of being stuck in an unchanging game mode.
          I want to be able to do a spinning saber slash(which they gave you for free in ZX) or a extra attack on the Z saber.

    the GBA's screen real estate is just too small for what Zero wans to be and locking abilities behind the autistic scoregayging shit is annoying, especially since the game score is acumulative so if you really blow it in one level you're fricked the entire game.

      Not really, considering there's several cyber elfs that put you back on A rank in case you frick yourself THAT badly.

    Doesn't that just put you on A for the stage? I thought it was only really good for getting an EX skill for a specific stage rather than bumping you up to A so you can stay there.

      It does the latter if I remember right, you just need to git gud from then on, or use the other ones the game gives you if you continue eating shit.

    1 is unnecessarily tedious. 2 dumbs it down a bit by making the Level up shit a lot smoother at the start of the intro stage.
    3 and 4 are just great, the problem with 4 though is how the Cyber Elf can dumb down gameplay.

      What? Who the frick do you mean, The Guardians? They die at the end of Z3, their deaths aren't randomly established in the opening of Z4.

    Why does the chain feel so fricking bad in Z2, am I missing something? Using it for combat is not fun and having to platform with it feels random as to whether or not your jumps will keep any momentum

      In combat you mainly just use it for combos, though it has some other uses because of how it stunlocks enemies so it's good against the ball and chain guys or other mid-range enemies. The platforming with it is kind of janky but you typically make your jumps so long as you extend the chain to its fullest, which it isn't always at when you attach.

      Bass fricking sucks and the level design is kinda bipolar because it has to be made with both of the characters in mind. Also some of the bosses are kind of shit to fight (looking at you Burner Man).

      >over 130 Mega Man games
      Of those how many are actual mainline games though and how much is shit like Soccer or B&C? Like I'm actually curious, MM definitely doesn't have as many spin offs as some franchises but I can't imagine the main releases for each series add up to more than a few dozen.

      [...]
      idk about other anons I'm an older zoomer so I got into Mega as a secondary through Bob & George and flash games and shit. It was very much a big part of my childhood but I missed out on Mega Man's real heyday, so I've always experienced Mega Man as a franchise kind of neglected by its creators - though I do remember MM9 feeling like a fricking massive deal.

      Tons are weird spinoffs definitely, but it's more to say that the people going on about Capcom milking SF, RE, and MH instead of Mega Man are crazy because Mega Man was milked harder than all of those combined while bringing in less revenue in turn.
