The Official Mega Man 9 Topic

[Someguy]

This game is great, I just killed Galaxy Man and I'm at Hornet Man now. I noticed though when you use the hair styles book (which costs 20 bolts to get, then another 20 if you want your helmet back -_-) you take double the damage from enemies, when you die, you have your helmet back

[Fatso]

I don't see it, and it's 11:30. Maybe it'll pop-up in 30-45 minutes.

Oh yeah. Yesterday at Ikeoko's house, I was playing Mega Man 2. In the middle of a boss fight with Bubble Man, I jumped up near the boss door to dodge an attack and I got hit.

A boss door appeared on the other side of the room and sent me through it. I was in a glitchy underwater version of Wily Stage 3.

YOU CAN'T GET OUT. THERE'S A LADDER, TWO WEAPON ENERGY THINGS, AND THAT'S IT. YOU CAN'T CLIMB LADDERS.

I had to reset.

Happened to me once too, probably a holdover from testing.

Poo-poo to you guys for being home right now, I have to wait 'till 3PM for my MM9 goodness.

[Vinchenz Rock]

YAY I DOWNLOADED THE GAME

And I've failed horribly at Tornado Man's stage, but I only died once on Concrete Man's stage and even though I started the battle with low HP, I managed to defeat him on my first time.

I've recorded my playing and will be put on YouTube after class is over.

Also when I beat Concrete Man, I got a message saying "Eco Challenge Completed"

Did anyone else get that? >_>

[Fatso]

Go look it up on your challenge list and find out what it was about.

[Morgan Guyer]

Go look it up on your challenge list and find out what it was about.

I remember why I hate elephants...

Killed Splash Woman and Concrete Man.

[ASR]

I JUST BEAT TORNADO MAN

HOLY ##### THIS GAME IS THE #####

[Chron]

Just downloaded the game a bit ago.
I've decided to play it in short bursts since it is, as expected, frustratingly hard for me.

I decided to knock out Concrete Man first. The stage was meh, and he's a mediocre boss. Simple attack pattern, so I was lucky I started with him. "Eco Challenge" means to beat a boss without using any special weapons; invariably this will happen with you beat the first boss.

I then tried Plug Man. Stage has some infuriating block bits in it, and one strategically placed met that I hate with a fiery passion. When I finally got to Plug Man, he killed me nicely.
Same thing with Tornado Man, although the stage is pretty cool. It is hard, though.

Out of ideas for what to use my concrete block on, I went to Galaxy Man's stage.
Easy stage with some cool effects. Managed to be Galaxy Man, too.

Went off to Hornet Man's stage on a hunch. Once again a tough stage (%&!%ING SCISSORS, but Hornet Man himself has an easy pattern.
Stopped there.

[spoiler]Galaxy Man is weak to the concrete block, and Hornet Man's bees can be diverted by the black hole bomb (which surprised me), although hornet man himself is barely scratched by it.[/spoiler]

So far, so good.

[ASR]

So far I've beaten Tornado Man, Splash Woman, Concrete Man, and Galaxy Man in that order.

This game is way easier than they were toting it as.

Doing Hornet Man next.

[Abominator]

It's not out here yet... I'm so sad...!

*DOES A CRY*

[ChaosVortex]

I'm already at the Wily Stages. Like an hour ago. You guys...

YOU'RE TOO SLOW!

Surprisingly enough, I just attacked the Robot Masters without  a hint of strategy, and I most of the time had a weakness weapon on hand.

[Morgan Guyer]

Anyone figure out what weapon beats Plug Man? Need an answer quick (last boss fight before wily castle)

[ASR]

[spoiler]I think it's Jewel Man's weapon.[/spoiler]

[Morgan Guyer]

[spoiler]I think it's Jewel Man's weapon.[/spoiler]

Thanks, chap.

[ASR]

No problem. Plug Man was hard as hell. I think he wins the award for hardest RM in this game.

I'm at Wily's Castle finally!

[Snare]

Hornetman's level made me really happy.

But I REALLY suck at this game.

[Morgan Guyer]

No problem. Plug Man was hard as hell. I think he wins the award for hardest RM in this game.

I'm at Wily's Castle finally!

Same, I don't want to shuffle through master weapons to find out what defeats boss 1. T_T

[Mikero]

I don't have this game! :-D

Because they are stupid and don't sell it in a store and I can't get it any other way right now.

[Fatso]

I wonder how hard it would have been to sell little SD cards with the game on them that you could just plug into your Wii and copy the game over and then it would delete the game from the SD card.

[Mikero]

Or like, make it a disc. With a case. And a little book. That could be sold. In many stores. Worldwide. Like normal people. Since not everyone can connect their Wii to the internet.

[Xero]

Holy hell this game is good!

Concrete and Plug man were easy only cause of watching the youtube videos. 

Tornado man was a bit tough but once you figure out how the magnetic things work then it can go simple from there.

I think Splash Woman is the easiest boss to beat since her fishes are destructable and her attack pattern is the same.  There is no change up.

[NovaMan XP]

I was at Wily Stage 2. I got owned. And now I'm taking a break.

The game's great, but there are some annoying parts.

Wily Stages feel like living hell right now.

[Fatso]

Downloaded the game three minutes ago.

I love how they reused the Rock sprite from MM4 for the opening.

[NovaMan XP]

They did? I think it was actually a bit different.

Also, did anyone else buy the Roll Costume thinking it'd let you play as her? As soon as I bought it and saw her change, I reset the game. >_>

Waste of 200 bolts. Just like the hairstyle book.

[ASR]

Yeah, what did the Roll Costume do? I bought it and I have no idea what it did.

[NovaMan XP]

It changes Roll's sprite "costume" to another costume.

For me it changed it to her MM8 costume.

[ChaosVortex]

I just beat Mega Man 9. Viewing the credits.

That was excellent.

[spoiler]
"This is where you went wrong Wily..."

"And this time..."

"And this time..."

"AND THIS TIME..."

"AAAAND THIS TIME..."[/spoiler]

Credits are nice.

[NovaMan XP]

Geez. How could you beat the game so fast? YOU SHOULD'VE ENJOYED IT!

Now you'll get bored by tomorrow. Not really. But damn.

[ChaosVortex]

I enjoyed it. Had I rushed it really, I would've beat it in 3 hours.

That was incredibly fun, and pretty difficult. Not overwhelming, but it satisfies.

I sorta wish it was longer. MM4-6 had four "final" stages and then four Wily Stages. I was expecting four Light stages or something.

EDIT: Also, yeah. I actually bought the Roll Costume. That was incredibly stupid. I didn't bother with the hairstyle book.

Just use your monies on E-Tanks and stuff.

[Chron]

Yeah, that, the energy balancer (which is only useful as a side note), M Tank and all the E Tanks you can hold are all that it's worth spending bolts on.

I Game Over'd at Wily 3 and decided to break again. Can't remember what got me, but it was stupid and I was on 0 lives for the past two stages.

I'm finding the level design to be pretty clever so far. Maybe not MM2 or MM3 good, but it's in there with the big boys. It's NES Megaman, through and through.

[Morgan Guyer]

I'm calling rape on this game...

[NovaMan XP]

Wily Stage 3's boss is giving me nightmares to MM1.  In a whole new way.

WHAT'S ITS WEAKNESS?! D:

The vortex thingie. You have to wait till the eye moves away from the green dude then use it (plop it right on him before he moves).

[ChaosVortex]

Yeah, that boss fight made me think, "Dear God, not again..."

It's the Black Hole Bomb. Use anything else, and that fight will take forever.

[NovaMan XP]

Beat it. Now I'm stuck on teh next boss. I have 2 lives left.

>_>

Weakness?

[Xero]

I just blew my bolts on E-tanks and an M-tank and energy balancer.

E-tanks are scarce in this game.

[ChaosVortex]

That's the last one. For the Wily battles, it's...

[spoiler]
Mega Buster

Mega Buster

Plug Ball[/spoiler]

But I mostly used the above mentioned along with my Buster and Hornet Chaser.

[Xero]

I think I'm gonna do the Wily stages tomorrow.

Since I have off that day....hopefully.

[Morgan Guyer]

Finally beat it...

[spoiler]LOVED the ending...

Mega Man: "This is where you failed, Wily..."

"... and this"

"... and this"

"... and this"

Also, for those expecting Bass, he's not in it. But his blue prints do show up on Wily's computer in the background.[/spoiler]

[NovaMan XP]

[spoiler]
I'll assume the 2nd Wily form weakness is Concrete Shot, Jewel Satellite, or Tornado blow, because I'm always out of that and nothing else works.

I #####ING LOST TO 2nd WILY AND HE HAD 1 PELLET LEFT. >_<;
[/spoiler]

*sigh*

Seems I have to go through all the stages... AGAIN... because I need to restock on E-tanks. God, why couldn't they have put at least ONE E-tank in the final level?!

[Morgan Guyer]

I know, I made the mistake of leaving the second stage in Wily's Fortress to fill up on E-tanks. To my surprise, went right back to stage one (I thought we were past this, Capcom).

Also, BUY THE 1/2 DAMAGE ITEM AND SAVE IT FOR THE [spoiler]Yellow/Green Devil Fight.[/spoiler]

[ASR]

Finally beat it, yeah.

On Wily, I used
[spoiler]Mega Buster, Mega Buster, Hornet Chase/Magma Bazooka.[/spoiler]

I loved the ending.

Did anyone else catch this in the credits? At the very end:
[spoiler]PRODUCER: INAFKING[/spoiler]

I laughed pretty hard.

[NovaMan XP]

[spoiler]
Also, for those expecting Bass, he's not in it. But his blue prints do show up on Wily's computer in the background.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]That actually might prove he's gonna be a downloadable character like ProtoMan... because unless ProtoMan appears at the end, he's not in the game either.[/spoiler]

Theres a new boss available for the last thing, It'll probably be Bass.

And yeah, I beat it too.

WOOOHHH! #####ING ACE #####!

[Fatso]

Well, that was a pretty damn good game.

Now to play it again

[NovaMan XP]

Tch.

That's like making X9 and not having Zero in it.

[Vinchenz Rock]

I've beat 7 of the 8 Robot Masters in 2 hours.

I CAN'T BEAT TORNADO MAN'S STAGE. I MUST HAVE ATTEMPTED IT TWENTY TIMES ALREADY.

[NovaMan XP]

I feel your pain.

If you're stuck at the part with the rain and really want to just get done with it, use Rush Jet.
