Rate the megaman series' from first to last
 

Zero>X>Classic>Battle Network>Legends

X vs Classic was REALLY tough to decide. And even though x7 was awful, and there were no bad games in the classic series, X's jump to ps1 and the games for that system edge it out a bit. Even if no x game captured the magic of 2.(although the first x game came close)

And speaking of capturing the magic of 2, that brings me to my top pic. Zero. I beat the game in 2 days, the second staying up till 3 a.m. to accomplish the task. I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN. Seriously thought I was going to have a seizure the next day. It takes a major departure from the norm by adding upgradable weapons, missions as opposed to 8 robot bosses, and the cyber-elf system. But it adds SO MUCH depth to a franchise that never had a whole lot. All while retaining the amazing gameplay that makes megaman so awesome in the first place.

COME ON PEOPLE

Damn it, where the hell are funky and rdd. They'd be all over this shit.

Classic>X>Zero>Whatever the fuck is left

I dunno, come on. I LOVED Legends, and think it should be higher than the Zero series.

Or not, I dunno. Zero series is amazingly awesome too. And while some of the X games (I'm looking at you, X7) seem a bit rehashed, I still loved it with every fiber of my being.

So I'm gonna have to go:

X > Classic /Legends (if nothing more than the Tron Bonne spinoff game) > Zero > Battle Network (even then being last, I don't see BN as being a bad series at all, as it completely amazed me. Megaman is the only series in which I have loved EVERY game, aside from RE. Thank you, Capcom.).

Classic owns it all. X was just too dark, Legends and Battle Network practically had nothing to do with Mega Man and I never bothered with the Zero series.

You should. Its awesome, albeit crazy hard. I like challenges though. Maybe thats why zero is my favorite.

And FYI: Protoman = Best Robot Ever.

Bass>Protoman

Haha, Bass always gets his ass kicked.

Although when you're talking awesome robots, look no further than my avatar.

<------

classic>*

The X series. And Sigma would kill Bass and Protoman.

Then the Classic, then battle network, then Zero, then Legends.

Only ever played classic and X, not any of the other 3.

The only problem I had with the X series, was Sigma coming back every game. It was like, "oh, Sigma is back again....... how many times do we have to destroy this guy?". Actually, I think it was X5 or 6 that didn't have Sigma, but at the end of the game, it hinted that he was alive. I may be mistaken, been years since I play any of them, and never played the newest X game.

Classic. For it's time it was amazing. I still find 2 and 3 awesome to this day. I played X, found it ok. Never played any of the other ones due to no interest.

X>Classic>Zero>Legends> B.N.

again, REALLY CLOSE between the X series and Classic

To me, the deciding factor is the X series being slightly more challenging than the original. Otherwise they're basically even, about 4 good games or so in each series. I don't consider MM5 or MM6 to be anything more than average while MM1-MM4 ranged from great to excellent.

MMX-MMX4 were also great (X3 is a TOUGH game early on) X5 and X6 were mediocre. I won't talk about X7 because as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't even exist.

Zero is a good series and Legends had its moments. Never really got into B.N.

Yeah being that zero is such a departure from the normal formula, I knew I'd be in the minority. I mainly like it most because out of all of them it is the most challenging. But not to the point where its not fun. Its perfect. The boss fights are better than any other megaman game, with the exception of megaman 2.

Dr. Wily anyone? Even when it would've been good or wasn't supposed to be Wily, it was Wily. Mega Man and Bass was the worst offender of this.

yo megaman 2 on NES was hard as krap. i forget the level but it was the one where you were constantly falling and you had to dodge the beams coming in from the side. Could anybody seriously beat that level.

Quick Man

What dablackguy said. It was that *@&(@(!*@#* robot named Quick Man. You could either beat the level by trying to land close to the next ledge you need to drop off or use Flash Man's Time Stopper to prevent the beams from firing.

Which meant you couldn't use it on quick man. Who is a bastard even WITH time stopper.

Classic > X > Anything Else

Mega Man 2 had the G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time) soundtrack.

Classic is way too easy for me to consider it the best. I am a masochistic game player.

I loved the Legends series also. I haven't played any other besides the classic series though.

Ideally, you should be able to refill the Time Stopper before you get to him. My trick is whittling him down to about half his energy with the regular blaster and then just switching to the Time Stopper to clean up.

I don't know, man. The fortress stages and Crash Man's stage kinda grated on me. I'd go with 4 or 5 as far as good music. Gyro Man, Crystal Man, Ring Man, Bright Man, and Stone Man had some nice tunes.

WHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

While I agree about crash man, The first fortress stage is one of the best Megaman tunes ever. There should be no debate that 2 had the best music.

Also, I want to try XZ. I guess the gameplay is like Zero except the story is set another 1000 years in the future, and it has a lighter tone to it. Which sucks, because i was really enjoying the story in Zero as well as the atmosphere.

Oh and M-A-G...Bubbleman is nothing compared to the awesomeness of Metal Man.

Proto > Metal > Rush > Guts&Cuts (only for the cartoon) > Mega > The rest... (with Bubble ending up average at best)

And what the fuck was with turning GRAY for bubbleman? How dumb.

Woodman alread called green.

Dude, just whack Metal Man with one of his own blades and he's toast. Hardly 'awesomeness' if you ask me. Bubble Man's got the bubbles. THE BUBBLES, BY GAWD!!!

Despite being brown. :wtf:

Mega Man 2 is the greatest NES game of all-time

Quickman #1

It's Quick Man. We're in America. :p

OK, let's look at the top three contenders here. First, there's Metal Man. Sure, he looks rather pissed and evil and ready to cut you a new one and yeah, Quick Man below him ready to dazzle you with annoying as hell superior speed but just check out Bubble Man! He's got that nasty look in his eye and his cannon locked and loaded ready to pop a bubble in your ass if you're not careful. And if he's out of ammo, he'll beat the sh*t out of you with that surfboard thing on his back. I rest my case.

Crash man was always my favorite.

Shadow Man.

Followed very closely by Tornado Tonion.

The X Masters can suck it. I mean, Split Mushroom? Wire Sponge? Overdrive OSTRICH? WTF?
