that is the proper way sadly, its just a tedious crawl of a fight because you hit him with the chain then he immediately has those invincibility frames before submerging

if your boss fight makes me wait like 10 seconds to shoot once you get an F (including you crystal snail when i gently caress up my magnet mine shots)

is there a trick to serges 2 that makes him not a total fucker to hit. i know his cannons get destroyed with only a couple of magnet mines and the slicer is his weakness but its still a pain

charge the slicer and fire from under him after the cannons are dead, it'll pierce his lovely little cockpit. there's a sweet spot at the very edge of the standable part of the robot under him where his bullets don't hit you after they explode.

Use the charged slicer and face away from him, it'll hit pretty much every time

He's even worse when you hit him with his weakness because with the buster you can get one or two charged shots off when he resurfaces but with the chain he just repeats the underwater saw attack and jump after every hit.

Megaman X2 was a lot of fun. Felt a bit easier than X but I think that's because everything felt a bit tighter. There were times in X where I was struggling to get an upgrade because a jump had to be done at an exact pixel which I didn't encounter here. A+ pick for the first game of the year.

Silk shot is good for the cannons but for the man himself it was x buster and sub tanks

If you’re really quick with the timing you can hit him twice with the chain before he ducks under but I did it like twice total between both fights with him.

the crusher / desperation attack thing that you get from the armor upgrade will kill all 4 cannons at once and save one of the platforms, which gives you a bit more room to maneuver around and do this

This was... fine. It's just a worse version of X with extremely irritating collectibles and they clearly ran out of time at the end and just repeated a random stage for the final level.

It's still Mega Man so it's still fun, but I don't think I'd ever replay it when I can just replay X.

Except for MM2 I liked every Mega Men a little bit less than the one right before it, which was dire when I skipped 6-8 and went straight to 9.

MM3 is god tier and easily the best classic MM game.

better soundtrack, better stages, better boss fights than MM2. the slide and rush were nice additions. the only dumb thing is that you have to use Top Man's weapon on the final boss lol

MM8, 9, 10 & 11 are awesome. I gave up on the X series after 3, they get so bad so fast. I didn't even really like X3 from what I remember.

Zero 2 is great so far. But i need to pick it back up and probably admit I should just use the cheater save points from teh remaster again. It's definitely more feasible than Zero 1, but I'm still too bad at MM to try to grind out my skills.

the intro stage to zero 2 is still one of the best intro stages (complete with busted-up pause screen from zero 1)
