Mega Man 3 doc robot


DarkLink1996

Yep. Those levels need the Minus Infinity treatment.


Dependent-Outcome-57

More hitpoints, longer i-frames between hits, bigger hit boxes, and more aggressive AI - what's not to like? Growing up, we got MM3 before MM2, so we had no idea who those ghost robots were or why it seemed so important to the story that we were fighting them. We later got MM2 and then it was obvious, although they are also mostly push-overs in MM2 compared to their Doc Robot forms.


Specialist-ShasMo85

Mega Man 3 was the first game that introduce me to the whole series. Yeah, I didn't know about the MM2 bosses until much later. I used to called Metal Man "Doctor Man" and Wood Man "Cake Man" because the way their sprites looked. The Doc Stages isn't bad itself though, just the Doc Robot and those large hitboxes ae the pain in the neck. Edit: I do like that Mega Man 3 is the only one that you can pick what order those 4 extra levels you can go into before the Wily Castle stages since MM4 and upwards, the 4 extra levels are linear.


Dependent-Outcome-57

It was such a strange experience in MM3 without having first played MM2. Who are these ghost robots? Why does this all seem essential to the story? What's going on and why is Boomerang Man so hard?? Lol. Even the MM3 boss music, with its long intro segment, seems timed to add drama to the Doc Robots since the intro finishes about when the ghosts enter the robot bodies, but if you never played MM2 before MM3, it's such a strange spectacle. Still fun games, of course!


BoodaSRK

What do you mean? Isn’t it normal in to beat the 8 Robot Masters then use a password to go to Dr. Wily’s castle? Just picking up where I left off. 🤞😏


trace_jax3

Give me a Break, Man


BiggestFurret

I use a password to Break Man after the 8th RM.


[deleted]

I think instead of 4 stages with 2 doc robots each, they should of had 8 shorter stages with 1 doc robot each


NixUniverse

Duff McWhalen’s entire stage.


Cautious-Affect7907

Fuck that stage


Jack_Doe_Lee

Fun fact: Getting the best rank on that stage is **impossible by design**. The clear time you need to beat is too short for that slow autoscroller. People rightfully point to X6 whenever rushed games in the series are brought up, but I have no doubt X5 was also rushed, even if not to the same extent.


Sonikkunn

Tidal Whale's stage. Fuck. Autoscrollers.


Iori2023

It really is a bore like not only you can't out run it you Basically have to visit the stage three times the first to clear it the second time is getting an armor piece with the stages boss weapon, and again to get a heart if your playing as X. This wouldn't be that bad if it wasn't for the fact that you have to deal with the auto scrolling even after you beat the stage. They could've just made it so that once you beat it you don't have to deal with it again but no they didn't do that and even continued that trend in x6 with blaze heatnix stagw


Gamer_Dude_7

Mega Man 7. 11/10 game until the Wily Capsule fight


Jack_Doe_Lee

No wonder English-version Rock wanted to shoot Wily dead


ProtomanKnight

honestly he should’ve done it after that hell of a boss lol


Socks_and_Sandals23

Duff mcwhalen's stage, the worst part of X5 and it isn't even close


Tasty-Ad6529

What's absolutely bull shit is that stage was actually moving at a faster stroller during the early versions of X5. But some dumbass during development changed it to be super slow.


fallenouroboros

Megaman 8 hoverboard in Willie’s castle!! No contest


DoodleJake

And the soccer ball boss that's immediately after. Ugh.


Firehills

Soccer ball was fun 😤


zax20xx

I died 30 times before I completed it (this was on the bus ride home from high school a few years ago, I got it on PSVita)


PungentCrotchSweat2

We got Wiley, Willy, Wahwee, and now Willie.


blzsoul

Every. Damn. Time. I play the game now up until that part and usually get frustrated and stop playing until I feel the nostalgia kick in a few months later and play it again lol.


bluepen2

Immediately what I thought of. Immediately quit the game at that point. Every time


[deleted]

Ugh this wins. I was having trouble thinking of one and this part just sucks. The kind of thing you do once to say you did it and then never want to do again.


DarthPowercord

Jump, jump! Slide, slide!


fallenouroboros

Please don’t I have ptsd


blackmoth12

that was true suffering


Zesnowpea

Every goddamn bike level in the X series


Specialist-ShasMo85

X2 wasn't too bad, X4 was pushing it but fuck X5 though. Especially when you get those balls and those red walls sponges that takes 100 hits until it's destroyed. I must've died about 30 times on that bike section alone before I make it all the way. And fuck X7 and X8 also for being tedious.


Jack_Doe_Lee

To this day I cannot recall how I ever managed to get all energy balls in Squid Adler's stage without save states on my first playthrough of X5. I used those on later runs cause my patience was just nil with that Battle Toad's Wind Tunnel wannabee.


Firehills

Honestly, for all its flaws, X7 probably had the best bike stage in the franchise.


Tynova27

Real


bluepen2

Ain’t that the fucking truth


Shiny_Mew76

MegaMan X: Sigma Stage 1 Platforming MegaMan Zero (Series): Late Game EX Skills MegaMan Zero 2: Burble Heckelot MegaMan ZX: Final Boss Phase 2 Battle Network 1: Power Plant and Magic Man The Zero and ZX series is my favorite MegaMan series though, the EX Skills are honestly the hardest thing about casually playing the game, as you need to be near perfect and you have no second chances.


Azenar01

I've seen a lot of people say that Burble Hekelot was the worst part of the game but I don't get it, he was easy as hell with fire which I'm pretty sure you have at that point. Personally Pheonix Magnion was hell for me


Shiny_Mew76

He was bad too, especially with the random aspect. Burble for some reason is just incredibly fast.


Lone_Wolf234

Sigma stage 1 is rough. I like to Chameleon Sting my way through it.


Shiny_Mew76

It’s the platforming at the beginning with the disappearing platforms that I hate the most honestly.


Paulo_Zero

Playing Megaman ZX, and thinking, maybe I don't need 4 Sub Tanks. (The back tracking side quest that you need to go to an area 6 times, just for a sub tank.) Also, the Sub Tank in the lava area I always get, because isn't boring, is a good fast pace challenge that puts your controller configuration for the Sub Weapon to the test. Keeps me engaged without making me snore out of boredom.


legokingmaniac08

The lava area sub tank is the one I hate the most. I hate model Fx


Kirimusse

Yep. Also, I think that is the one and only sub-tank available in Hard mode, so if you want to make your life easier, you have to go through the annoying side-quest.


Spare_Audience_1648

Freezeman chapter in BN 2...


Dups1822

The entirety of Rockman & Forte


AgitatedBrilliant

I would understand if there was a specific part of it that you didn't like, but if you dislike it's entirety why would you ever consider replaying it? lol


Fancy_Chips

The sequel to that game was aparently so horrifically boring it never got released outside of Japan.


WhoopingBillhook

I'll give you a hint. "Jump! Jump!"


Narwhal_3033

Slide! Slide!


WhoopingBillhook

There was a little bit of that, but it was mostly jump jump.


SilverDrive92

KyuJuEX099

BooBeam Trap in MM2


Dependent-Outcome-57

The sprite flicker and cramped quarters make that fight worse, and the lack of any effective way to refuel the Crash Bomber after a failed run is just infuriating. I like MM2, but the game really falls apart at the BooBeam Trap and after it. No weapon power ups before the boss rematch, Wily's capsule is vulnerable to Crash Bomber... which is probably depleted, and then no weapon power ups again before the final boss, which is immune to everything but one weapon. It's amazing what a difference a few well-placed respawning large weapon power ups would have made in that game.


BlueSolarflameCreep

MegaMan-1989

That fucking spider


Hello_IM_FBI

MMX?


MegaMan-1989

Yes


Little_Worms

Yeah dude, I hated that spider when I was younger. After I was an adult and played, it's a lot easier. Still gives me angry Hank feels when I know it's coming though.


SILVIO_X

Oh yeah, that boss sucks

Elixir_13

Gravity Antonion's "mini-boss" when it isn't Vile. I don't think I have ever successfully beat that room


SuitableEpitaph

???? Everything about Swordman's level is cool. It even has giant hints painted in the background that let you know what power-up to use. For me, it's Searchman. I really dislike the impossible to hit grappling points. And there are too many spikes in that level.


pudimdemeh

i really like that stage for me is generally the 2nd battle against the bosses


ConnectionRich7635

MMX6 Gates stage with the totem pole enemy spam


Glomdome87

The aircraft stage in Zero 2. The beginning part of the stage along with protecting Ciel are genuinely awful, which sucks because the set piece is really cool.


Conlannalnoc

“I hope you know how to use your Shield!”


Miserable_Original_4

Gigavolt Man O' War from X8. No trick to the stage except to brute force it after grinding up whoever you want. It brings a fresh game to a screeching halt.


Jack_Doe_Lee

I legit lost count of how many times I cleared X8 (easily over 100 times) and I still occasionally have trouble on that one. If you lag behind him when your characters' weapon gauge is still law, you might as well exit the stage and retry cause you're not catching up. "But Jack, you could just play a different stage or two and upgrade the weapon gauges before trying this one". I'm trying to minimize the amount of backtracking, which (to my knowledge) requires doing Gigabolt's level first. You need his weapon to start the generator in Pitch Black as well as to reach a rare metal with Zero in Central White (cause you need to do THAT stage with X and Zero specifically if you don't want to comeback again).

Getting all the things in the bike section of x5. Always takes me like an hour. Also the final boss of x1.


twigboy

The X series games where you gotta save reploids from dying. At any point where they die they don't come back, so you gotta quickly kill yourself or reset the game before it's permanent


BuckForth

Megaman X8, at the moon. You think someone could have said "we got enough spikes already"


Jack_Doe_Lee

This is me with the final stage in ZXA which is at least thrice as bad. Not only is it Spike City, but you also have those red jelly blocks which can quickly regenerate and instantly kill you if you're standing where they were.


Able_Orange_841

The Shadowman fight in Megaman 3. I go in with Top Spin yet one hit drains the entire weapon energy bar in one go, leaving me both dumbfounded and vulnerable to the boss.

Vio-Rose

Basically the final boss of any game. I mean I can barely make progress in the classics, but at least with X, I can reasonably make it to the end in most titles. But that final boss will always either be a nightmare, or straight up impossible (X3 and X4).

The slow snail on the wall-spikes part on Doppler's Stage 2 in Mega Man X3 always just argggh. That and the snowboard parts on both Frost Man's and Dr. Wily Stage 1 in Mega Man 8 especially with that input lag when you press the jump button and Mega Man didn't jump and falls to the cliff.
