It's okayyyy.... Its got load times but that's it. If you want metal slug on the go then that's your best bet.

Either that or Metal slug 1 and 3 on the Switch.

>>379114985
Eh, I'll just go ps2. Thanks though for the info.

>>379114812
The PSP version is actually the one with the most content. Comes with soundtrack unlockables, wallpapers, tons of concept art, and more. It ran just fine when I played it, but I stuck to 1 x 3 and 5.

>>379114184
Worse art style but whatever keeps Metal Slug relevant I suppose.

IF POSSIBLE, get the japanese version of the PS2 metal slug anthology. I have no idea why, but the U.S. release has load times out the ass, whereas the japanese version does not. Even more confusing, if you play the japanese version on an american PS2 it boot up in english. I have no idea why, but it is what it is. Get the JP version.

Nah. The mobile games are playable to us, and plenty of people aren't satisfied. Pachinko is lower on the "actual video game" scale than mobile games.

No problem. It's really baffling. I mean, the japanese version even has the same english translated interviews with the developers. I have no idea why the english version has those bad load times. Maybe I should ask the neo geo forums, they're autistic enough about these things that they might know why.

I remember 2 things I hated about 6. You couldn't play the last level unless you played on hard, & that the level design was shit. It was too flat without enough platforms.

You could just burn a disc patched with freemcboot. Would be a better option in the longrun. You wouldn't even need a mod chip if you do that, just a memorycard with freemcboot on it. If you have to own a physical copy though I guess eBay? There's one for sale at $35, no pictures though.

My main complaint with Metal slug 7 (XX is basically the same shit just with a few enemy placements moved around, and a few new, not a lot, secret paths ala Metal Slug 3 but much more hidden, and co-op and Leona but c'mon) is that it's the most boringest of metal slugs to look at.

It takes place on "trash island" or something and every stage definitely looks the part. Most of the missions are super dull looking dark brown nonsense that doesn't really make you feel like you're in one of those awesome iconic action movies like the other games did, but rather in one of those lame b-movies that have a tight budget and can't really film in any cool places... There's three exceptions being the snow mission, the final mission's volcano segment, and the waterfall mission... Everything else is so boring to look at.

You know how in previous metal slugs there were enemies placed in exclusive missions, not really being reused anywhere else with the one exception being Morden's grunts? Well Morden's grunts are used here quite a bit. Not a lot of variety in enemies. But wait, there's NEW enemies introduced in this game- Morden's grunts but from the future!!! They don't serve any purpose besides you being able to fight them towards the end of the game for just a little bit. No cool futuristic boss or anything.

Metal slug has certain things going for it:
1. Cool graphics
2. Exciting scenarios
3. Simple controls
4. Difficulty

Metal Slug's cool graphics are still the coolest but they lose some of that coolness if they're not used in a way that makes them shine like in previous games. Putting them against a dull background really ruins it.

The scenarios in Metal slug are not exciting, and they do not sound exciting if you're talking about it.

Metal slug has lost the appeal of it's simple controls with 6 by introducing mechanics that were never really needed.

And you won't tolerate the difficulty of a 1cc if you don't even like the game.

>Previous Metal slugs definitely had exciting scenarios
Some fun parodies/references too. Like Independence Day and Starship Troopers.

Have they done a "Dinosaurs on an exotic island/laboratory" scenario yet? I think some blatant Jurassic Park parallels would suit the series.

As for other units, don't waste medals on cranks until an event or other special event crank happens. The Medal Crank ain't worth it.

Well, there's still several other enemies who use her sprite in them, like the Pharaoh who has his own portable harem. Also, palette swaps of her that are basically "Mummy Cat except Red."

But if all you want is fanservice, basically all the original units are fap fodder.

If they haven't seen the light of day, what the fuck are we supposed to do about it?

Also, some of us play mobile trash because we spend so little time at home, and it's not socially acceptable to whip out a 3DS in public.

I also had to really think about whether or not Scotia was a good character or not and I've come to the conclusion that she's not.

If you were to put her in an ajirabian mission in a legit metal slug it would probably have to center around her because she's such a protag-looking bitch.

I wondered if changing her outfit, maybe just her white skirt, would change that but she would still have her green anime hair and at that point why wouldn't you just make a completely different character for background jokes?

Unfortunately that's true of most the original characters introduced by the game. Designs that look like they were made to be the center of attention and less generic grunts who can die for you en masse.

But I understand why they did it. There's a story mode, and each of these OC DO NOT STEALS do stand center stage for a LITTLE while. They just don't really deserve that much attention once it comes back to the main game.

You don't need to get guild points for mummy cat, its an automatic reward for beating Mars People's Another Story 1.

Albein that's actually quite difficult to beat, but theres at least a concrete, non-random way to get Mummy Cat.

>>379119538
Because placing her in your team powers up other, more useful Mummy units

Do you mean you get unit parts for it so you have to keep beating it again and again to get enough or that you get the whole unit all at once?

>>379124189
you get the whole unit

Bad news, the boss you need to beat to get her, Sol Dae Rokker, is very hard.

I say Metal Slug Attack as it is more alive. But beware, both games are very p2w since they continuously release OP units gated by premium currency.

She's not the worst, she just gets results differently.

>>379124918
attack is the one that's currently supported with events, and Defense is dead, so get Attack. You probably will not have to pay money, the game is pretty generous in the early run and the game gives you infinite retries on most until level 19, and when you retry you get a power boost, making it easy to get the very strong event-related units to proceed to rely on until your regular units can catch up.

Instead of Metal slug Attack you should just get Metal slug 3 for the switch or the psp/vita version of anthology and go for a 1cc. It'll make you feel better in the end rather than the mobile garbage that'll leave you feeling hollow

>>379114119

You could play both. I really enjoy being able to field the various kinds of former enemy tanks to do my bidding.

>>379126196
I played defense for a long time, it is insane how many variables are not in your control. It is also insane how unviable your starting units become, making any investment in them worthless. The p2w-ness of the game is a lot worse too, and the game doesn't provide a good way to get units for events you missed. Attack is way, way less frustrating

>>379125963
>the only game that's come even close to MS is vore porn
What game, and is it good?

>>379125621
Oh, I have all three Anthology versions but play the PSP version the most. I ripped it from the UMD to play from the memory card and it eliminated most of the loading times.

>>379126415
I never played Defense, but by the sound of things, I like Attack's approach more. Upgrading your units to stay viable if you really like them is a great feature. Because I always get attached to certain tanks and love how they learn extra attacks and whatnot.

From my experience I would not recommend metal slug attack at all.

You start with units and you've gotta get those units buffed with items you've gotta go and look for and even then those units aren't the very best ever but you've still gotta buff 'em up... After being spoiled by Fire Emblem Heroes (another mobile game I stopped playing) I was really distraught that not a lot of medals were coming in when I needed to get more unit parts for Lightning Fio and pocket Marco making getting them seem like a faraway dream I would never be able to make a reality unless I forked over some cash which is far less encouraging here since Nintendos made it so that even if you do uninstall Heroes all of your progress is backed up to your My Nintendo account so if you ever wanna get back into it all of your progress (and money you've spent) is there. If something goes wrong with your phone you are SOL it looks like. Not that I would even WANT to pay any money for a mobile game but if I were that monthly card seems like the best deal but even then it's torture.

>>379126679
Defense and Attack both provides ways to upgrade your units to stay viable, but in Defense even upgrading them they're very poor. Attack includes "Skills" that can really improve a formerly-poor unit. For example, Marco, Eri, Fio, and Tarma's final skills have their mere presence increase a stat of your team as a whole, which alone makes them far more powerful

I've been playing for about a week or two, personally. And I immediately got a couple extremely good units who have carried me pretty dramatically.

The sucky thing about the events is you absolutely need to have been saving medals if you want to win enough parts in the machine or it comes out to be a total waste. If you have enough for the 10 pulls option 3 times, you'll probably get whatever unit is currently being promoted. I wouldn't recommend doing single pulls though. It penalizes you both in medal cost AND special drop frequency.

Thankfully climbing the ranks of Battle and Team Battle mode DUMP medals on you, the first time you do it. As did the recently ended anniversary event.

>>379126916
They made veryr clever use of already available resources, for example I appreciated the multiple scenarioes where the Iron Lizard actually became best weapon. or things like buting the enemy rocket tanks in high up, difficult to attack spaces to take advantage of the downward arc of their rockets. I liked the added difficulty of playing as Trevor, as well

It is complete bullshit with no signs of where you've gotta go to dodge an attack. You know those turrets that shoot fireballs into the air? They don't fucking turn when they intend on shooting their fireballs in a different arc.

I also do not appreciate how many of the enemies they transmogrified... It makes it feel like a knock-off.

I have been playing it recently. It's OK? The difficulty curve seems pretty fucked though. The current event ops on hard is like "recommended level 20", but part way through I just get tanks rammed up my ass before I even have 150 AP - and that is with every upgrade I can get at this point.

Dumped enough medals into a couple 10 pulls of the medal crank, got some decent units (I think?). Going to try and unlock their skills and see what happens.

If you wanna tackle the 1cc challenge the difficulty of doing so goes like this

You can forget about 1ccing any of the games after that, probably not worth it since they're just not as good. 6 would be pretty easy to do so though.

1 is easily the best place to start. Boss patterns are the most fair, learning controls and simpler elements without focusing on crazy shit like becoming fat or becoming a zombie, plus the fact there's only one "Slug" to learn makes the game easier to figure out.

>>379127884

I think the nintendo switch versions are okay... The steam versions are bad. Just bad. If you wanna emulate then do the neo geo versions, not the ps1 versions since those have nerfed the graphics by quite a bit... Though the extras are nice to have.

If there's an english language option for the Neo Geo CD version of Metal Slug 1 then go for that.

To cheese your way through hard mode, pick one of the lower-cost mercenary units SNK provides and spam the hell out of it, while filling your deck with defensively-minded units. If you have Mummy, Hazmat Soldier, or Jet Clark, use those; if you don't you can make do with any shielded infantries you have.

You mean the tower? I got a good strategy to getting through it.

Step 0. Make sure you come in while you still have your Metal slug

1. Soon as the battle starts, jump out of your Metal Slug, leave it right next to the base of the tower. Note that sector 5, on the bottom, shoots to high to actually hit your character. But CAN hit you when you're in your metal slug.

2. Jump on top of the platform provided you and edge yourself to the right of it. It's just high enough that Sector 5's bullets will go under you.

3. Shoot ONLY at sector 4. Just jump straght up over the soldier's cannonballs, don't move left or right and the soldier will fire in a predictible pattern for you to die. Keep doing this until sector 4 dies.

4. Once sector 4 dies, let sector 3 fall down. Jump onto the ground, being careful not to get hit by sector 5's cannon. Get all the way on the left side of the screen, meaning run a bit to the right to fall off the platform, then drift left so you don't accidentally jump into your own Slug.

5. As soon as Sector 3 fires (that's the one with the fireballs that you mentioned), run all the way to the right. Get right up to the tower so you can start shooting upward, and you'll be able to hit sector 3. As soon as it fires again, run back to the left.

6. Keep running left and right, while shooting when you're all the way to the right, until sector 3 dies. Make sure to ONLY move when sector 3 fires, while ignoring the fire from sector 5, which will fly right over you. Feel free to put some damage onto sector 5, but be very careful not to kill it

3 > X/2 > 1 > XX/7 > 5 > 6 > 4

None of them I dislike. I always flip flop between liking 3 and X the most, but 3 is what introduced me to the series.

>>379132541
7. Now, sectors 5 and 2 should be on screen. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until sector 2 is destroyed- as in jump onto the platform on the right side and jump keep blasting away. Grab a Rocket Launcher or Iron Lizard if you can to kill the soldier and make your life easier.

8. When its sectors 1 and 5 on screen, jump in your slug and spam all your grenades while ducking in the slug, and destroy 5 as fast as possible. Hopefully during step 6 you will have accumulated a decent amount of damage onto sector 5., and this will go quickly. Just let your slug tank the hits.

9. With only sector 1 left, move back to the left side of the screen, the cannon's range isn't enough to hit you on the leftmost edge. The parachute bombs can be destoryed by your own bullets. This last part should be very easy, just stay in one spot.

>>379133402
Alternatively, cheese through the fight by jumping in and our of your metal slug repeatedly. When you jump in, you're invincible for a second even though you can already shoot. When you jump out, you're invincible again. This is very boring, but easy to do, like beat the Yellow Devil in Mega Man with the pause trick then going "yes, I'm good at this game"

Here's some tips:

1. ducking is really useful, your hitbox when ducking is a lot smaller that it looks
2. If a missile comes at you from a diagonal angle, you can use a grenade to block it
3. your grenade's explosions also have a hitbox, and they eat through shields
4. cancel your shooting animation by ducking
5. you move faster by jumping than walking
6. you can change how far your throw a grenade by jumping
7. You turn around faster while shooting

8. Opening up a skirimish with a grenade is usually a good idea, since the enemies biggest weapon is confusion. Kill them before they even fire a shot.

How would that work? What would be disadvantageous or different? Sounds kinda' cheap.

>>379137703
It's brilliant, I love it. I can see it now, it's harder to control your character now but you've got three hits before you die just like your regular slugs only if you do take those three hits there's no way to eject! Maybe your pistol could turn into a vulcan cannon, I LOVE IT.

slower walking speed, big obnoxious jumps, melee replaced with some kind of tongue related attack.
throwing knives or shurikens as weapons because there's probably some shinto frog with ninja powers in folklore

I have a feeling they ALWAYS had the rights to use her and Trevor, they probably just don't like them.

>>379138420
That's pretty clever actually, anon.

I heard somewhere that since 4 was made by whatever company bought out SNK they owned the rights to the characters in 4 despite SNK reforming later

Probably from a rumor mill or something. I imagine since they bought Metal Slug back they bought everything, not just disincluding 4 for whetever reason.
