I think the reason people didn't like this game was because of the huge sprites, which makes it easier to take damage.

That and it's wildly inferior to MMX released a year earlier in every way.

Last time someone did a BoI speedrun on GDQ it ended up being a mess of a swear jar. Quite frankly, I'm not looking forward to this.

someday i will actually play a megaman game other than the half hour i played legends for so i can understand why, for example, this is seen as a lesser game

likewise someday i will actually play castlevania beyond the arcade machine they had at pizza hut that i used to play when i went there in elementary school as a reward for the book it promotion like 25+ years ago

I'm completely uninterested in any Ratchet & Daxter in Collect-a-thon-land type of games to that's my Pepsi break. I'll be sure to watch the Star Wars run after that, though.

The original trilogy of NES games and Mega Man X are classics for a reason. If you can't get the originals they should be in various legacy collections on PC or consoles.

I've only run this game in a very undedicated, casual level but the first time I didn't have a trainwreck time getting through Wily it was a pb by like 20 minutes. That fight is just so disproportionately hard compared to everything else in the game.

if you have a Switch there's the Castlevania Anniversary Collection that has all of the classic games and it's great

I just played through all of them for the first time like a few weeks ago and I'm surprised at how well they hold up (still prefer the metroidvanias tho)

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

When I played MM7 the thing I found frustrating was that a lot of the jumps are very tight. X's wall-slide and dash really add a lot of wiggle room to platforming in that game.

I don't recall particularly enjoying Mega Man 7 the last time I played it (though I liked it enough to finish it), but I really adore the art style.
I'd love an updated game in the same style.

i will prolly just get castlevania 1 for nes and go from there, it's pretty cheap and i generally prefer playing games on original hardware if it isn't absurdly expensive

Same, PJ. Same.

It is also extremely rad that they ARE using pronouns with runner names. I was worried initially that they weren't going to do it since the first run didn't have it, but I'm guessing it's listed per runner's choice to list it, which is good and cool of them.

Is the Shademan theme a homage to Castlevania music? It sounds very similar.

the us version of castlevania 3 is awful tho, which is why it's nice that the anniversary collection has the good jp version. probably the best game of the classics imo
