The threads got merged with Gaming Discussion when console integrated leaderboards made new additions generally useless.

I loved that part of MM1 [WITHOUT CHEATING].

Also, IIRC the Yashichi isn't exactly easy to find and you can't save it for later. If you get to it with everything full already then it does nothing. So I wouldn't say it counts as a "cheat".

Speaking of doofy oversights, when you run as protoman, if you play with the Coil selected, you get your three-shot rapid fire back and lose your charging.

*the more you know.jpg*

That's the way it was with every MegaMan game that had the charge buster, too.

yeah, but you always had your 3-shot. Well, actually I think megaman went down to 2-shot when Rush was on. protoman only gets 2-shot as standard. not good during say, first Wily boss fight.

Here's what i'm thinking of right now.

Enemies: (shooting) Doot doot doot doot.

Megaman: (shoots) Pik pik pik! (gets his with only a bar of life left) <pause> BWOO BWOO BWOO BWOO

Enemies: (keep shooting anyway) Doot doot doot doot.

Doot doot doot doot.

I think the Jewel Barrier is the greatest shield in any MM game, it stays on forever and even deflects bullets back and makes them harm enemies.

It's kind of crazy.

Also, would the b-hole bomb (lol) even be possible on the original NES? It's pretty much the greatest weapon of all time. Sucking up all types of bullets, even from Dr. Wily is all kinds of crazy.

This game is tight as shit, the more you play it the more you realize how well put-together it is. The only really hard thing in the game is beating Dr. Wily stage taking no damage... if you could save in between it might be easier, since it takes forever to clear all the easy shit only to get hit by fucking stupid Magma Man.

Got all the way to Wily last night got my ass kicked by some egg spitting dousche bag an went to sleep got a bunch of M tanks though :).

You can only carry one M tank at a time.
