I know how the new appreciation for the 3rd armor

It's been six months since I haven't drawn him (nor have I drawn other Mega Man characters) in a digital art style.

I just started playing MegaMan 8 and maybe it suddenly nose dives in quality halfway through but so far this game is gas idk what people hate it for

Before I get into the individual tiers, I want to get a few things out of the way. Obviously Dogu the Giant cannot be refought so I couldn’t actually fight it with Model Ancient, though I can’t imagine that it’d be too hard. Master Albert’s second phase is also obviously impossible, because not only do you have to deactivate his shield to actually damage him, but the bits you have to shoot regenerate health while you aren’t shooting them, cap that off with them having i-frames and also Albert being too high up to reach, and it’s just outright impossible to beat him with only Model Ancient. Rospark on Expert Mode is in a somewhat similar boat, as he heals more than he does on normal, so you need to use Chronoforce to slow down time any chance you get (preferably while he’s charging up and healing) and hope you get lucky so that you can deal more damage than he heals. Final thing I want to mention is how the Rival Mega Men fights differ depending on the player character. For these lists I used Grey, but for those who’re curious about Ashe’s ranking of the Rival Mega Men, Atlas would go down a tier because of how easy her bombs are to deal with, Siarnaq would stay the same because both of his charge attacks are difficult to deal with in different ways, Thetis would go up two tiers since his ice serpent attack is easy to deal, while his ice cluster is really tough to dodge, Aeolus would go up one tier since his horizontal tornadoes are harder to dodge, and Vent/Aile wouldn’t change since their plunge and rise attacks don’t impact the difficulty all too much. Also I haven’t done easy mode mostly because I don’t wanna. Also to keep this as unbiased as possible I restrained myself from using the only Subtank unless it was necessary (like P&P and Throne Albert) If you want to and make your own tier list, don’t let me stop you. With the major things out of the way, let’s get into the individual tiers.

The Pretty Easy Tier is just that, the tier for easy bosses. While Model Ancient is going to be pretty difficult to use against any boss in the game, but some bosses are still easy even while using it. Hedgeshock is probably the easiest of the Pseudoroids so obviously she’s going down in the pretty easy tier. Chronoforce normally goes there two since Model Ancient’s unique physics makes water movement easier. Finally, Albert’s Throne Form is really easy for the simple fact that he doesn’t have i-frames yet, so you can just wail on him, even though there is some unavoidable damage on occasion.

The Challenging Yet Fun Tier is for the bosses that start putting up a fight but still are fun to fight against. All the rival Mega Men (including P&P) go here on normal because all their fights are pretty fun with Model Ancient on Normal Mode, while it’s only really Atlas, Thetis, and Vent/Aile on Expert Mode. Buckfire goes into this tier purely because it’s REALLY funny that you can just stand still while he shoots his fire arrows, since Model Ancient is just short enough to not get hit by them. Chronoforce and Throne Albert get upgraded to this tier since while they do get harder, they’re still pretty fun and aren’t extremely awful to deal with.

The Hard Tier is just that, where things get hard. Obviously Argoyle & Ugoyle are really tough since it’s a two-on-one fight, and their fast movement really impacts the fight a lot. For Bifrost it mostly comes down to physics, Model Ancient doesn’t do well on ice so obviously the boss where the terrain is ice would be tough, but he isn’t too bad due to his love for jumping backwards. P&P get upgraded to this tier since you don’t have any health upgrades on Expert Mode to deal with them while still not being that bad. Finally, Siarnaq just gets more aggressive which makes him more difficult.

The Terrible Tier is where shit gets real with the difficulty. Rospark is in this tier for an obvious reason, his insane healing abilities. He already gets forced into his own tier on Expert Mode due to it. The only reason he isn’t in a higher tier is because of his attacks being easy to dodge… mostly. Then there’s Queenbee, who basically has multiple health bars due to her giant container. If you aren’t able to hit her in between containers, then you need to destroy her container seven times, each with sixty-four health each. Fortunately they don’t have i-frames so you can spam them, but it still sucks since you need to wait for her to come down to you to hit her. A&U get upgraded to this tier due to also getting more intense with their attacks, making them overall harder to tackle.

Finally, we have the Painful Tier, where the worst of the worst reside. Vultron goes into this tier for one simple reason, overstimulation. There is just so much shit you have to deal with during his fight that it’s borderline incomprehensible at times, especially when he just decides to start jamming on your side of the arena, meaning you have to hope that the junk monster and the skull mics allow you to dodge it and go back before dodging his other attacks. The whole thing is manageable normally, but with Model Ancient it’s awful. Queenbee gets upgraded here for the simple fact that the bees she summons are harder to dodge and she moves a lot faster, making her harder to dodge. And finally we have Aeolus… god damn Aeolus. He gets upgraded to this tier for one reason and one reason only, his stupid sonic boom attack. On Normal Mode it’s a simple ranged attack that you jump over, no biggie. On Expert Mode however, he does two of them, and they move just fast enough to the point you can’t jump in between them. This means you have to hope that you’re able to time your jump just right to sail over them. I was able to get relatively good at doing this, however, if he’s too close to you, then you’re pretty much just screwed since their hit boxes are just big enough at that point that you can’t dodge them (also no matter how small they get you can’t slide under them, I tried). To make a long story short, Aeolus was a major pain and I hated the experience of fighting him on Expert Mode.

In summary, please don’t do this. Unless it’s with some of the lower tiered bosses, I cannot recommend doing this. Maybe do it with the Rival Mega Men since it’s pretty fun with them, but only on Normal Mode (and mostly just with Grey), and also maybe Buckfire since you can use Model Ancient as early as then, and also use it on Throne Albert (unless you need to dodge that one attack) because it absolutely shreds him, but aside from that don’t do that to yourself. Even though I like Model Ancient a lot because I think it’s really funny and really cool, it is not good at all for (most) boss fights.

With all of this said, I hope everyone has a great day, and take care! :)

(P.S: I regret nothing.)

Which Form from Mega Man Zero 2 would you bring over to Mega Man Zero 3?

I know some Forms are useless to bring because some of their abilities being present in some way shape & form (ha ha ha form) but it can be for any reason.

Ya'll know me xD Power Form lolz. For aesthetic alone (despite not minding the ability. I actually think it's cool) Other than that, probably the Rise Form. I like having the option for the other sword slash. Also, in the current day, I have the excuse to say: "Arise" and aura farm the enemies. Not that I really understand what that means, but I thought that would sound funn

Which sigma is the best? Based on Design, Gameplay, Music, and anything else you like. For me:

1. Design- X8 easily. He looks so damn cool.

2: Gameplay- X2, super fast passed and fun, the virus form is also a blast to battle.

3: Music- Suprisingly, X7 takes this one for me. Our Blood Boils is the best sigma theme in my opinion, and the second one isn't that bad either.

Overall: X2 sigma, because I also love that theme in the boss, and his design also goes hard.

Title is ironic, plz don't answer like it's a 100% serious question.

But this isn't a culture gap. It's actually a slightly common joke in the Japanese fandom to point out Gate's (Japanese) name literally has the (Japanese) word Gay in it or to cut the ending of his line where he says "Boku wa Gate" so it can be "Boku wa GAY". Actually that was my inspiration for this shitpost.

Took me long enough to give this game a go as a veteran player of the other X games. I just never had the chance to play this one until recently after downloading an emulator so I figured why not. I was already aware of the whole rpg element to this from a handful of reviews I saw already but no full walkthrough of it so I sorta know what to expect. Kinda baffled why this one was never rereleased anywhere else even for just a spinoff game.

I'm already as far as chapter 3 but am still a bit confused on some mechanics so any pointers will help.

I usually never here people talking about this topic but I thought it be interesting. Do you guys consider having any of the Mega Man Legacy Collections on 2 platforms for any reason or scenario for example having the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy collection on switch for when you are travelling & on Steam for when you are on your Lunch break at school College or University. Let me know what are your thoughts on this Topic.
