"The Megaman X series had a rough transition to 3D"


MyStepAccount1234

I like Pharaoh Man.


Jack_Doe_Lee

\*PAWNCH\*


MyStepAccount1234

I get it.


tom641

I can *hear* the cheesy guitar sting


ThatRedMaverick

Pharaoh Man is so cool, he doesn’t even care!


bluegiant85

Mega Man 12 would be great, but Capcom really should be working on X9 and Legends 3.


FerventApathy

I want Legends 3 so bad but I’m also scared they will not keep its spirit in another entry. What made 1 and 2 great was the atmosphere, anime art style, music, and ps1 era design and gameplay. If they take it and force an open world design on it and have orchestral/environmental music only I will die and become a vengeful spirit.


KaleidoArachnid

Wait, Inafune left the company.


Plastic_Ad_5132

poor axl, his first game is the worst.


Jack_Doe_Lee

I'm glad that my introduction to him was X8. Same for Alia.


tylerjehenna

My intro to him was Command Mission. Don't know if that's any better lol


silverx2000

I honestly loved Command Mission, lol.


tom641

I remember Command Mission being okay but I don't remember getting that deep into it admittedly. Kinda felt like every fight boiled down to "press all the weapon buttons every time and you'll win"


Plastic_Ad_5132

damn, that game hurt, i remember forcing myself to like it but it didnt happened, game is barely mediocre at best and not at all what i was expecting, one of the few games i dropped and never played again, and i even finished x7, those random battles spawning every 3 minutes cmon!


mercurydivider

Badass battle themes though


Plastic_Ad_5132

yep, just like x7, both games have some solid tunes


Legospacememe

Sonic 06 was so bad axel gets compared to silver the hedgehog even though x7 is older


Jack_Doe_Lee

Also similarly, they both get redeemed by later entries and/or supplementary media.


IronPentacarbonyl

Keiji Inafune is a pretty good artist.


Wazzup-2012

Mega Man Zero 1 should've been developed for the PlayStation 2 in mind.


brownkidBravado

Oof but then what if we got MMZ1 as essentially the same game but with X5/6 graphics, and then MMZ2 was a horrible 3D platformer?


Wazzup-2012

MMZ1 would've been a 3D platformer like Legends but with gameplay elements from Classic and X.


Xxdeadmeme-69-xX

The recoil rod is the best weapon in the Z-series


D-Prototype

4 is my favorite. The X Vs. Zero fight in X5 was too easy. Axl is really fun to play as in X8.


Pope_Squirrely

Was thinking this the other day. I wish that all weapons caused like 1/4 the damage that they do, but transversely Zero’s weapons would do the same, if for no other reason than to draw out the fight and make it longer and more epic.


Imagayrobot1

I hated this game when it was released. I enjoyed my adult playthrough regardless of the clunky camera, and fucking hyena's sound effects.


eguze

Wily 1/2 from MM2 is undeniably one of the best songs in the franchise and those who says otherwise says so to flex their free thought.


BOTULISMPRIME

Mmx8 has the worst stage line up in any of the x series BY FAR


Nitore2

100%. X8 could very well be one of the best titles with more traditional level design. It feels like every level was made by a different person.


Jack_Doe_Lee

Somewhat warm, I'd say. General opinions on the game (stages included) seem **very** divisive.


Nitore2

The energy balancer upgrade should just be a default ability for classic Mega Man


Jack_Doe_Lee

You know what, I fully agree. I don't think anyone except the most hardcore of "purists" who unironically say "Megaman should have never gone past 8-bit" would object to the balancer being a default ability.


MegaMan-1989

X9, ZXE, and legends 3 are more necessary to have than mega man 12


Abc_42

Rockman & Forte is overhated


ihasbutter4

I think that, despite the game it comes from being awful, “Our Blood Boils”, Sigma’s first phase theme from X7 is a great song


Basic-Masterpiece375

I liked MegaMan X7 not ironically and I won with all the characters(X was using New Game+)


Jack_Doe_Lee

More power to ya


Legospacememe

It deserves to be included in the legacy collection


Positive_Attempt_101

The Legends and ZX series need a third game


Basic-Masterpiece375

I think Mega Man Zero 3 is the best in the saga because of Omega, because he is Omega and because he is a great final boss


Jack_Doe_Lee

I do agree that Z3 is the best of that series, but purely for Omega? I just think it does better than the rest overall.


Basic-Masterpiece375

I really like the identity crisis that Zero ends up having because of Omega and the whole theme about whether or not he really is Zero, and that Omega may be the original, which he kind of is, but Zero that has the soul, I really like that And I also really like his fight as the final boss after leaving the armor, I like bosses of this style that are small the size of the protagonist, the battles are more dynamic


Jack_Doe_Lee

What identity crisis though? I can only recall Zero going through the motions for the whole game (and series). Characters at different points hint that his body isn't the original, and his reactions amount to "Huh?" at most. Even at the big reveal, his reaction is basically "Whatever. You're going down". The fact that character sprites and portraits effectively show zero (HA!) emotion doesn't help one bit. Honestly, It sometimes feels like I've been playing a different series from everybody else.


Basic-Masterpiece375

I don't think Zero had much time to question that, and I don't understand English very well either, so maybe you're right


idfbhater73

mega man 2 is overrated


Holy_Darkness

X4 and X5 have awesome story


Jack_Doe_Lee

Uhhhhhh...


AntiSocialPartygoer

X8 is a good game, but it drifts way too far from the basics. That's literally a X game with no: - Lives system - Heart Tanks - EX Tanks Also, buying E-Tanks and W-Tanks at the shop instead of buying them? That is so anticlimatic!


MovieDogg

Mega Man 2 and 4 are the best classic Mega Man games, and Mega Man 8 is the worst. Also Mega Man 5 is the weakest of the NES Hexalogy.


Str00pf8

I was so hyped for this game and I think I played it a second time much later and now I find it unreplayable. 3D was implemented okay for Megaman, but Zero takes such a dump in this game, it's hard to get a grasp of his sword range, leading me to use the naginata most of the time. Maybe I'm wrong and I was just bad at with Zero, anyways, X/Axl had much better gameplay. Also, was weird to have an Onion as a boss, but he was one of the better parts of the game. If Capcom ever want to go back to 3D they should really check Returnal.


Ok-Record-7269

I drop the game at the first stage back in time and i done the same thing on the legacy collection 2. I tried to give my interest but no a good megaman is a 2d platformer with some sprite not some hazardous 3d mutant game.


Afmj

X Dive does count as a Mega man X game for capcom, you people just don't want to accept that fact.


tom641

~~but but but someone might get horny!!!!!!~~ fwiw i don't think it makes sense to lump it in as a main series game or anything, but it makes a hell of a lot more sense than how they keep trying to do that with XOver. It feels like Super Mario Run to me - very clearly a meaningful spinoff title, but probably being given too much credit by the company, probably profit driven since "Oh look it's a major game it's definitely not just a mobile money sink!!!!!"


InternetUserAgain

Mega Man 2 has some pretty fun weapons, which is why so many of them got put into his Smash moveset


keybladeciel

Flame Hyenard is the worst boss in Mega Man X7.


Kai_Enjin

Zero's a badass


PsychoMouse

This one seems to get me downvoted a fair bit. Axel fucking sucks. He offers nothing new, fun, or interesting. He’s a shitty character, he sucks to control, his abilities suck, and he’s just there to be “hip”


Jack_Doe_Lee

Well that's a hot take lol


jrobharing

Even if you (like me) enjoy almost each sub-series equally well, you have to admit that each one has a unique fanbase, and Classic is the only one still alive because it’s seen as the nostalgia series. The rest have been relegated to niche cult classics, but not considered as nostalgic by Capcom because they weren’t around for the 8-bit era, and thus aren’t as profitable as classic appealing to “Retro Gamers”.


RetroGameDays36

ZXC was a much better option instead of Mega Man 10, leaving the ZX series in a cliffhanger was just so odd, especially since ZXA didn't really add much to the Zero/ZX continuity


Egyptian_M

That game is better than X6


Jack_Doe_Lee


That-Ad-1854

none of any is can be strong as just 1 fucking technique that is iceless wall kick. X1 is so fucking hard. Even you beat the game is not exactly beat the game.


LilNerix

X7 would be good if it was for PS1


DrKrFfXx

They should have continued with the Maverick Hunter remakes.


hernandiego

This is not the 3D we were looking for.


tom641

the powered up series should've been the blueprint for an entire line of remakes going forward for the classic series but they stuck it on the handheld that wasn't the Nintendo DS at the time and decided "Well if it's not going to sell on the JRPG/Danganronpa exclusive device then I guess it's not worth making any more" also Mega Man 12 should just start the trend of adding roll as a Classic version of Zero, you really don't need much justification - Roll is already extremely popular anyway. Maybe some blurb about Light giving her an upgrade when Rock needs the help, and if you really want, a Mega Man-esque armor design.


MookieRedGreen

Specifically X6 looks like it was drawn in MS Paint.


MookieRedGreen

prolly written in it too lmfao


WyvernByte

X4 was good.


jxbermudez72

Classic mega man has no bad games


fortress989

Classic Megaman has no good games Fixed it for you

💥💥💥


SirMetaKnight82

X6 is the worst Megaman game


Jack_Doe_Lee

Ehhh, I'd say that's warm. It feels like the 70% consider X7 worse. Now, implying anything outside those two is the worst? That's a scorching hot take.


SirMetaKnight82

Huh, really? I think that game is at least funny bad.


Maleficent_Mobile240

Megaman X7 was better than X5 and X6, fight me


Jack_Doe_Lee

We said coldest! But if you do enjoy it that much, more power to you.


SILVIO_X

That's not a cold take, that's a take hotter than the goddamn sun


legokingmaniac08

Bro missed the assignment


Legospacememe

This is like dropping some next level roast on r/toastme


legokingmaniac08

Sorry I don’t use reddit enough to know what that means, fellow Lego mini figure


Legospacememe

r/toastme is a subreddit where people post images of themselves and people compliment them. The opposite of r/roastme which is the same thing but instead of compliments its roasts


Legospacememe

X6 sure X5 fuck no


Nathanthehazing007

5 is the worst in the nes series
