How are you supposed to know the boss weaknesses? How on earth

>>376551870
>having boss powers
>not trying them on other bosses

Its a pretty simple concept, pham. You get a sick new power and you use it on your enemies, including the rest of the bosses.

>>376551870
It's called trial and error. You are assuming that the first time you sit down and play a game you are supposed to beat it.

>>376551870
If you were really hardcore you'd stick with whatever stage you picked and wouldn't repeat them for more pickups anyway. Weaknesses are a bone to trick casuals into thinking stage select is better than fixed path.

>>376551870
You figure them out. The game clues you in with which bosses are dead easy even with the peashooter using stage difficulty and upgrades.

"Good design" isn't "player shouldn't have to try things", despite what bad designers would have you think.

Aside from Crash Bomb healing Heat Man in Mega Man 2, there's hardly any negative consequence on trying what works on each boss, aside from losing some weapon energy in doing so.

All bosses and stages in X1 can be beaten without any upgrades (including dash), although admittedly final sigma can feel like a grind to beat.

>>376552829

Well there's also hitting Spring Man with Thunder Bolt in Mega Man 7 for a negative consequence.

It turns him into an electro-magnet.

>>376553068
I knew I was missing something, but couldn't remember it.

If the weaknesses were more organic or logical (aside from obvious cases like Fire Wave on Chill Penguin), it could have been an interesting idea to mix in more weapons that buff bosses if you're not careful. Admittedly though, it's not a worthwhile idea to do since players would only fall for it once and never do it again.

>>376553068

Burst Man also had two weaknesses: Freeze Man and Turbo Man.

>game has a system for exploiting elemental weaknesses in boss fights
>can't use it, or anything more than basic attacks for that matter in hard mode (unless you use the weapon that cripples your abilities in other ways)
Why was the hard mode in the Zero series games so dull? What kind of game designer thinks it's a good idea to take away basic abilities from the player, instead of introducing more difficulty in other ways? ZX did it so much better.

>>376554918
It was tacked on, that and limitations of the GBA.
ZX actually makes the attack patterns faster and doesn't just cripple the player and call it a day.

>>376552553
Wat? You serious? What clues does the game give?

>>376551870

When I first played this game, I found the boss weaknesses by trying every power on every boss. And if the powers I had at that point didn't work, I just used the default X Buster.

Its just a matter of trial and error. Its not a difficult concept in the slightest.

finally lemon'd down the 1st boss (gravity). Then proceed to uncover all of the boss weaknesses.

>>376552240
This. Then you complain about the length.

If you need to use their weakness to win you're shit.

>>376555025
I still think that they could've let the player pick up health upgrades. Since they're not mandatory to pick up I think just outright removing them is not too interesting for a hard mode. Just making the bosses and such harder to deal with should be enough; player can just choose to do a challenge run if they so wish.

>>376552240
This.

Which, in this case, is okay since it's reasonable to beat the bosses with just the buster.

>>376555972
Why are you paying money if you're gonna be the designer? It's not a challenge if you get to choose.

>>376552221
Nobody has the time for that

>>376556546
>Why are you paying money if you're gonna be the designer?
I like the games, but I don't have to necessarily agree with the design decisions. Just take a gander at the Zero series' hard difficulty and how it strips player abilities and slightly increases damage taken and calls it a day.

>It's not a challenge if you get to choose.
That's an odd way to put it.

So don't play hard mode.

Why don't name it Boomer Beetle?

Has a nice ring to it don't ya' think?

Most weaknesses in Mega Man make sense, but it really holds true in the original game.

Cut Man: rock beats scissors
Elec Man: a robot that uses high amounts of eletricity needs to be shielded from all that power. Pierce his body and sever that shielding. Also, stuffing a robot filled with electricity like that with extra metal would be bad
Ice Man: a robot that generates ice likely has a supply of water within. Hitting that with electricity would cause some damage.
Fire Man: a drastic and sudden temperature drop would cause his heating system to fuck up
Bomb Man: fire + explosives = bad
Guts Man: a massive, powerful, brute. Brute force your way to victory with explosives.

OP is a fag but can we agree that them not giving the leg upgrade, an important gameplay mechanic, to you in the intro and basically forcing you to do chill penguin first is an actual flaw.

Not really, because the first stage you go to that has an upgrade will give it to you for free, while forcing you to look for the others.

Yeah, because they expect the player to figure shit out on their own with no direction rather than having the game spoonfeed you information by default.

You couldn't even say that you had no way of knowing where to go either because you had shit like the Nintendo hotline or Nintendo Power to help you out as well with detailed maps or tips.q

You can beat them quite easily without weakpoints or health upgrades, weakpoints are like cheating since they become so easy.

>>376565160
Hitting Freezeman with his own attack will cause him to freeze the entire game for a moment and pose at the camera
Also hitting Shademan with his own attack will instantly charge him up and cause him to fire his full power attack at you.

>>376551870
Boss weaknesses having visible effects on the boss was cool, but the stunlocks make it feel llike it made them even easier than using boss weaknesses in the classic series.

But I guess that's preferable over the way Megaman and Bass did weaknesses, making a some of them the most pain in the ass things to hit the boss with, like the ice block on Burner Man or the flamethrower on King's final form.

artificial difficulty. it's just a chore at that point, you already proved you could do it, the boss is the section you need to practice but it's at the end. well not even practice, they're mostly easy to dodge, but always have one bullshit attack that will chip away at you while you try to find the timing they won't shrug off your attack, and which power will work.

>>376551870

Puzzle games are games, are they not? The truth is that platformers where you have to figure out move patterns and weaknesses are just puzzle games with a bit of timing mixed in. They can be made more fair by giving you some kind of wind-up animation before the enemy executes an attack or some kind of hint prior to the battle for weaknesses, but it's not really necessary, as you should be on the defensive until you know what is going on. Not all games have to be pure timing or pure strategy.

And X4 has short half-stage checkpoints that heal you and refill weapon energy, and the only hard parts of the entire game are the boss fights which crumble like dominoes once you get weaknesses. Unless you're playing as Zero in general or facing hungry hungry Sigma head, who is downright my most hated final boss form in the series due to how inconsistent it is to even avoid damage when he spits while having way too much damn health of his own.

I mean, in comparison's sake, X4 is like riding a roller coaster, while X6 is like going to the dentist with no anesthetic.

"Armored" rolling shields against homing explosives. Think bombs vs fall out bunker, only you're firing the bunkers. To be honest I never really thought about this one, I figure it's similar to punching a pillow in some sense and you're firing solidified kinetic energy causing the explosives inside him to go off. I think this will be my head canon now.

And ice is an extremely poor conductor, electricity in general doesn't fair well in the cold.

>>376572162
A run I saw earlier this year tried to mitigate the problem somewhat; turns out the game does not give a shit if you're fully stocked on each and every death, only for when you finally approach the capsule on the last go. So while making the run the first time through, they'd jump up to the capsule spot and then die intentionally to cut down on the death count and make it less dull when they inevitably revisit.

Besides, all it requires is having everything and then dying 9 times after checking the capsule spot each time.

>>376572151
>while X6 is like going to the dentist with no anesthetic.
X6 is only hard on the xtreme difficulty and even then it's thanks to bullshit moments. Game's cluttered with enemies but this also means more hp drops, also Zero is broken and X can do a lot of damage easily with the sword.

especially with all the blood spray effects in the japanese versions. if the games were more detailed the resistance would've been having some pretty gory deaths in the first game alone.

Classic was marketed towards young kids.
X, towards early teens, Zero had more blood and a darker plot so it's likely that one was targeted towards teenagers.

Hitting final Wily with Thunder Bolt would cause him to to get shocked, then retaliate with his own lightning attack. It's what I always used to cheese the boss since the lightning attack was easily avoidable so I used it to lock his attack pattern down to mostly just that.

Only in the US version.

It's not incredible game design. It should never be spoonfed of course, but the logic behind them is kinda weird when you get past the 1st X game.

At the same time, using the weap they are weak to is satisfying but also makes it too easy. They most likely knew this, so didn't want to make it obvious.

What part of Ring Man's stage is giving you so much trouble?

>>376573979
unless you're packing elemental chips for the occasion (and even then it goes both ways if you charge the saber or use specific skills you can earn in the later games), the Z-Saber is actually very effective at racking up damage and cutting down boss health bars. a bit of risk and reward if you're willing to pull it off

Game is unbalanced as fuck.
Levels are piss easy.
Bosses beaten using their weaknesses is piss easy.
Bosses beating with lemons is FUCKING HARD.

I still love it.

>>376574019
the platforming. Especially the yellow platforms that move left when lil saturn bois are trying to knock you off. I can get through it, but getting through it while not dying 3 times is rough.

>>376574729
You trigger it, THEN run when it's on the way back, right? You don't try to outrun the beam needlessly, do you?

I actually don't know the differences on Normal and Xtreme. I already dislike X6 so I just play Xtreme every single time for maximum suffering. One day I got tired of hating X6 so I practiced the hell out of it and beat it once every day for a week straight. It worked out because I got fairly decent at the game and I stopped hating it.

>>376574146
Donuts are shit but they can be trivialized with the charged anchor weapon. Otherwise I'd have included them too.

Nightmare Mother can also be made much, much easier with the charged anchor weapon, but that comes with the catch that you need (Falcon Armor) X for it, and to get X to that boss fight at all requires the Jumper and Hyper Dash parts (the former definitely, the latter I'm only pretty sure), which 95% of people playing without prior knowledge probably won't have at that point. I'm sure a lot of people just used Zero instead, who has a much harder time with the boss than X does.

i forget what made that boss so hard

>>376576753
nothing, he just couldnt be hurt without a certain power.

I remember laughing when I figured out you can cut off Octopus' tentacles and especially Mammoth's trunk with the Cutter.

>>376551870
Worst design in X1 was dash not being automatic. If it's important enough to be unskipable in the "first" level just include it to begin with.

New players who happen to try Chill Penguin late or last get jobbed hard here.

>>376574870
yeah I trigger then go. It's just difficult yo.
Gonna be back on it when I have time

Pharaoh shot can help with enemies at annoying angles, and even forms a protective roof over you that won't go away when fully charged, as long as a big enemy doesn't touch it.

>>376571787
not him, but

> X3>X2

In my personal opinion, X1 is better than X4, but it's general consensus that X2, while weaker than X1, is still better than X3.

Are you kidding? AA is no big deal buster-only. Just maintain a first level charge. If he blocks it, he charges an easy to dodge attack that you can easily retaliate on.

Launch is the pain in the ass.

>>376579804
I did a buster-only run of X1 but I don't remember Launch Octopus being hard. Spark Mandrill fucked my shit up because I was so used to stunlocking him that I had no clue how he moved.

>>376579804
I actually never have trouble with Launch Octopus. You can shoot and jump over his straight missiles fairly easily, and if you stay near the walls it's easy to avoid/destroy his homing shots. You just have to be ready to dodge if he tries to jump above you. Meanwhile AA gives me trouble than Velguarder and both Sigma phases combined.

You realize Tezuka died around right when Mega Man was made right? He died in 1989, never had much of a chance.

I always wondered what his thoughts on videogames would be. Also metropolis is fucking amazing.
