The Official Mega Man 9 Topic

[Chron]

Aside from the E and M tanks, that's the only item worth nabbing.

[Mikero]

:-(

I want to play, too...

[Xero]

Yeah the Energy Balancer is handy.

[TheRedPriest]

The trick to the eggs is to shoot them on the ground.  It pops them back up in an arc that will hit the mouth easily.  Also, just doge them when he's closer, it's too tricky to try to bounce them then because you have so little room to dodge.

This works 100% of the time. Thanks, Rez.
I finally beat the game.

That's why I'm so popular with the ladies!

Whats your deal? Why can't you get the game?

And I finished the game a second time, timing in with about 49 minutes. Too bad I didn't get on the list, I was expecting it to make at least 10th place.. I also beat some of the challenges, anybody going for the whole list? I'll just go for a couple, the stuff that makes me NOT look like MM9's bitch.

[Mikero]

PC is thrashed, so I can't get the Wii online. I want to get a classic controller first anyway, and I haven't bothered.

Note: I will never try to get all the challenges done or get it done super quick. I just won't.

[Fatso]

Ha-ha, I just learned that concrete shot can freeze the lava.



Almost a day AFTER beating the game.



Where there's a puzzle that REQUIRES YOU TO KNOW THAT.



I am #####in good.

[Mikero]

Yes. It's "offical". You are good.

[preventerWIND]

I knew that from the beginning. I saw it in the video, which you really should have watched. I beat the game easily the first try because of them.

[Fatso]

I refused to watch any videos pertaining to MM9, except for the one or two promotional ones that came out ages ago.

[Chron]

I knew that from the beginning. I saw it in the video, which you really should have watched. I beat the game easily the first try because of them.

I figured it out by fluke.

I beat Concrete Man first. I usually tool around with whatever weapon I have, and by happy accident in Magma Man's stage I discovered the trick.

Not sure how else you'd do it. It doesn't make any sense (although it makes Mega Man sense).

[ASR]

I want to get a classic controller first anyway

Why?! This game works blissfully perfect with a sideways Wii Remote and I can't IMAGINE playing it any other way.

I mean, by all means get a Classic Controller, it's fabulous. But don't use it on MM9.

[NovaMan XP]

I figured it out by myself. Speaking of the magma beams, if you stand near one (without killing yourself), you'll see sparks coming off of MegaMan.

I also finally beat the game today. The ending was great.

I played half the game with the Wii remote sideways, but after failing at the Wily Levels, I switched to the classic controller. I like it just as much.

[ASR]

Did anyone else notice that if MegaMan gets hit by an ink blot for a pot-octopus in Splash Woman's level, he turns black? You can switch him back by changing your weapon, or just re-selecting MegaBuster from the menu.

But if you don't, he'll stay that way for the rest of the stage. It's pretty cool, actually. It has no other effect.

[Chron]

Never got hit by the octopi.
The sparks I have to see, though (ah, I feel some stupid deaths coming in attempt to do so).

[NovaMan XP]

Heh heh, if you're equipped with Rush or a weapon when it happens they turn black too.

Oh and

[spoiler]Those #####ing 1-Up fake mets pissed me off BIG time in Wily Stage 3. Especially the one that will knock you into a pit when you try to get it.

In fact, EVERYTHING in Wily Stage 3 was ridiculously cheap. Including the Boss.[/spoiler]

[Vinchenz Rock]

Yeah, I accidentally got hit by by the octopi because they're annoying to hit (you have to tap the jump button ever so slightly to be at the right height) and then I was Mega Black.

[Xero]

HAHAHAHA!!!

Yeah I know.  That was gold though.

Oh, man. I laughed so hard when I saw those.
Made me wary of lives for the rest of the game.

I want it for other reasons. But I don't see the sideways Wii remote working "blissfully" well on anything. It's OK though.

[preventerWIND]

Now that I beat the game, Wily stage 3 is a cinch for me.

[NovaMan XP]

Oh, and since this game seems to be selling really well (60,000 right?), I think that means we're gonna get MegaMan 10.

Hell, if Capcom makes enough money they may even let Inafune make Legends 3.

[Vinchenz Rock]

LEGENDS 3 FOUR WII

[NovaMan XP]

NO IT'S LEGENDS 3 NOT LEGENDS 34 DUMB FACE

Yes I know you mean 'for'.

[ASR]

By the time we get to MegaMan 12 he'll have enough funding for MML3.

I didn't know it could do that either, and still got past the room.

... after 40 minutes.

[NovaMan XP]

Did you get past it using Rush Coil?

[TheRedPriest]

Rush Coil/Rush Jet, yes.

[Vinchenz Rock]

What, the room with the fire shooting things on the wall?

Because I'm stuck in there right now.

SERIOUSLY, WTF HOW DO I GET PASSED IT

[TheRedPriest]

Aparently Concrete Shot will solidify the beams.  Or you can do it the hard way and use the Rush Coil and Rush Jet.

[Fatso]

I've got a graphical demonstration for you.

[spoiler]http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k163/Cnl_Fatso/mm9.png[/spoiler]

[NovaMan XP]

[spoiler]First, climb up the ladder quickly and jump to the middle to avoid getting hit.

When the first beam is done, run quickly to the right and equip Concrete Shot.

Freeze the lava with the Concrete Shot, jump on it and quickly turn around and freeze the second one before it kills you... if you don't make it on top of the second one after your first jump, don't jump again. Just keep shooting the two beams until the top one goes away again.

Then finally, jump on the second one and shoot the third one. Go to the left for an E-tank, go to the right to move on. The middle leads to nowhere.[/spoiler]

I don't know why I mark this as a spoiler.

[Fatso]

Well, maybe mike doesn't want to know.

[preventerWIND]

Awesome route? More like NOT Awesome route! HA!

[Vinchenz Rock]

Well you get an E-Tank on that route..

ARRRGGH WILY STAGE 3 BOSS IS PISSING ME OFF

WHAT BE HIS WEAKNESS

[Xero]

Black Hole Bomb.

[NovaMan XP]

After using it, switch to the Mega Buster and score a few more hits to kill it faster.

[ChaosVortex]

That's why I'm so popular with the ladies!

Rez knows how to shoot the eggs.

[Mikero]

Well, maybe mike doesn't want to know.

You missed the part where I said I've been reading every spoiler tag anyway.

[Vinchenz Rock]

YATTA! I BEAT THE GAME! AND I'VE RECORDED EVERY MINUTE OF IT

The last cutscene was great. I also somehow beat Wily under the 180 second limit for that one challenge, somehow. Also, because I had to do the last stage twice, I managed to get the Quick Draw challenges done for all but two of the robot masters (Jewel and Galaxy).

As it stands, I have 34% of the challenges complete. But... some of these challenges seem like a bitch. x_x

Also, HOW THE ##### DO YOU BEAT THIS GAME IN 28 MINUTES AND 51 SECONDS

[Chron]

Steroids and bullet time.

[Mikero]

Did he really just say "Yatta" seriously?

Yes I know those aren't the real lyrics.

[Vinchenz Rock]

I said it as a joke and because I knew people here would know what it means.

[preventerWIND]

This is a spoiler for anyone who hasn't played MM9 and maybe for people who have beat it. People who do know will recognize this as the sprite that was shown on the computer screen when you beat the final boss.

[spoiler]

BASS! I recreated the sprite as best as I could, and added color. This may not be perfect but I'm certain it should look something like this.

[/spoiler]

[Chron]

I always wondered why his headgear is so cobra-like.

[ASR]

I definitely think the colors will be a little... less bright. Maybe a much paler yellow.

[preventerWIND]

They most likely will, but I didn't care when colouring it.

[Mikero]

I'm sure his yellow is more orange, or more... More like a canary yellow? The one there is very bright and obnoxious. But I suppose 8bit colour is always obnoxious.
