Wily Stage difficulty? (Protoman and Dr.s Crossack and X included)

[GMG]

I'm either at or almost at all of the final stages in Megaman anniversary collection, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how difficult the highest points in the stages are compared to the others. I've already completed 1-3 and 8, but I'm clueless as to which Final Stages I should warm up with from 4-7, and I don't want to have to go from the hardest to one that will provide little challenge. So, does anyone know the difficulty order?

[Mikero]

Why don't you just play the games in order?
Who cares?

[ASR]

You're weird.

[NovaMan XP]

Just play them in order, you'll have to eventually play all of them anyway.

[Fatso]

I find 4 the easiest of 4-7, but that's just because it's the only one of those I owned on the original hardware so I have lots more experience with it.

1 had the hardest fortress stages hands down.  You've alreday cleared the hardest.  4-7 were all about on par as far as I'm concerned, though 7's are the easiest of that bunch.

OK, I'll start with that, thanks. I don't want another stupid 1-8 difficulty drop. I went from fighting the yellow devil to fighting some fricked up version of it! HOW is jello supposed to be fearsome?

[ChaosVortex]

The first two games had the hardest difficulty, along with MM9. The rest just had some bit of creative stage design, but nothing really hard.

I do absolutely love Cossack's stages  though, both the design and graphics.

[Mikero]

Have you ever HAD Jello? It's disgusting.

You really don't like MM8, do you? I thought that fight was pretty fun to be honest...

Nope. 8 is on the hate list along with Battle Network 6, Sonic Eraser music, Nintendogs fans, some guy called xxJoesusxx, and various 3rd party Wii and Gameboy games.

[ASR]

Regardless of your hate-list, MegaMan 8 is a quality game.

[ChaosVortex]

It's still fun, although a bit gimmicky and the easiest of the series.

[Mikero]

I like that it has cutscenes, even though the dialogue is poorly written and acted. But other than at it's just an alright game, which is also fine.

[TheRedPriest]

8's far from bad (or even BN4-6 bad), but it's also last on my list in quality for normal Classic games (MM&B is the WORST "classic" game in my opinion, but it doesn't really fit into the normal mode so I don't count it with the properly numbered games).

[GMG]

MM&B is the WORST "classic" game in my opinion

Then check VthisV out.

[Mikero]

What does ^that^ have to do with MM&B being the worst classic game (and it is)?

[ASR]

I think he was saying that it's worse.

But I want to pretend he's just clinically retarded.

[Mikero]

I didn't really think anyone counted Wonderswan.

[TheRedPriest]

Handheld classic games were not included, no, and generally because they ARE awful.

[ChaosVortex]

And that game is foreign.

Let's include the five gameboy games if you're gonna be picky then! Let's play some Mega Man II!

[Xero]

1:  Hardest
2:  Medium
3:  Easy
4:  Medium
5:  Medium
6:  Medium
7:  Easy
8:  Hard
9:  Medium

[NovaMan XP]

I always found 7's to be hard whereas 8's was pretty easy.

1 is easy for me now but a little over 10 years ago the Yellow Devil would always stop me...

[Mikero]

Yeah I find 7's Wily Stages a lot harder than 8's too.

[GMG]

7's final boss sure as hell is at least 10 times harder than 8's!

[ChaosVortex]

Definitely easier.

So if I could redo that list myself:

1:  Very Hard
2:  Hard
3:  Very Easy
4:  Medium
5:  Medium
6:  Easy
7:  Medium
8:  Easy
9:  Hard
