Megaman & Bass

Was this game even designed with Megaman in mind? With Bass everything feels right

Sure I do love dealing 1 point of damage per 3-4 seconds on bosses.

I don't think this game was designed with anything in mind other then trying to sell Mega Man 8 again to poor kids who couldn't afford a Playstation without spending any actual money on the game.

I never got why people felt this way, playing it with Bass always felt so awkward to me. I've only ever completed it as Megaman. It's actually one of my favorite games in the series, it has a nice challenge curve to it and great art and music.

It's a trade off. Mega Man has an easier time with the bosses while Bass has an easier time with the stages. The problem with this is that Mega Man's easier bosses are negated with the weaknesses, which are the same for both characters. This essentially means that once you beat a Robot Master with Bass, as long as you stay in weakness order the game becomes much easier than with Mega Man, who has no alternatives for the stages.

The game is way easier with Mega Man, especially King's Fortress.

I feel the same with Megaman X4. The game is super bland as Mega man, but with Zero the levels flow a lot better

X4 with Zero feels so fucking good

Even the tank and jet?

Yes. Megaman's ability to move while shooting makes him feel much smoother than Bass.
Also, use the fucking Ice Wall. It's this game's Rush Coil/Mega Ball. Even better, use and equip items and use all of the weapons.
The weapons are clearly made with MM in mind, and if you didn't know, they have some powerful properties. Wave Burner is one of the very few weapons that can kill the moving spike enemies, Copy Vision redirects the enemies attention to it, Magic Card guarantees the item dropped will be a large health capsule, etc.
Don't be one of those Youtubers that cry about how hard the game is while ignoring the tools they're given.

It don't play much like MM8.

Holy shit a fellow MM&B bro

Based taste user. I think I prefer 9 to it by a hair, but its a tremendous game. Never really got why it doesn't place higher on peoples lists.

>Mega Man = Easier bosses
>Bass = Easier levels

That's the trade off. I think it worked out better than I originally thought when I first played the game, since I realized that I actually had to utilize Mega Man's weapons and not just rely on the Mega Buster like most of the games let you do. Definitely one of the more unique entries into the series, I think.

because they're brainlets

best shop and one of the best set of weapons in the series.

Probably because the GBA version is how a large number of people played it, and you can see less than you can on the SNES version due to the screen size, which just leads to a more irritating experience.

My top three are 4, 9, and MM&B. I never got the hate for it really. I feel most people may have tried it using the gba port which really isn't a good way to play it, it really does make the game feel a bit more obtuse. With the snes version I never had any serious problems. Even stages like King's Fortress 2, which people seem to despise with a passion, never felt particularly bad to me.

It's mostly because enemies are bulky as fuck. And god helps you if you try get all the CDs.

>And god helps you if you try get all the CDs.

Never gave ME any help.

>t. too shit to stunlock Coldman and Green Devil

Bassbuster trigger bosses i frame every single shot.

>Mega Man has an easier time with the bosses
Objectively untrue for All you have to do for Green Devil is stand in one place and fire, all you have to do for Cold Man is stand in one place and switch aiming between Cold Man and the cloud while occasionally jumping over Ice Walls. Mega Man has to use uncharged shots for Green Devil and waste charge shots dealing with Cold Man's clouds while using uncharged shots on Cold Man himself.

Still has a higher DPS when you factor in the charge time for the Mega Buster, and that's WITHOUT the item that powers up Bass's shots.

I fucking love this game, and it's complete shit it's missing from compilations. The GBA port is a fucking joke too.

Is there a MM game with a stronger weapon selection? Ice wall alone is ludicrously good

Tank is fine with Mega Man though
These weapons are really good, but aren't 9 and 11's weapons strong enough?

3's was pretty decent, but yeah MM&B had something for every situation.

This

Whats the best version?
SFC or GBA?
