XD hehehe

^^

true metal blade was the shit

Indeed it was.

They had a hugely nerfed metal blade in Megaman 3 called Shadow Blade... and it was still easily the best weapon in that game too.

My favorite in Mega Man 3 personally was the Magnet Missle. Still, with things like Hard Knuckle and Top Spin, it's not very hard for something that's even halfway decent to come out on top in that game. XP

Magnet missile was nice, but it depleted it's power too fast for my tastes. It was more of situational weapon. Shadow Blade had some staying power.

That's true. I'm more of a situational player though, I guess you could say. I generally use the Mega Buster unless I'm in a situation where I can take full advantage of the special traits of a weapon to better handle a situation, so the amount of weapon energy available usually isn't much of an issue for me.

With Hard Knuckle gradually becoming one of my favorite MM3 weapons over the years, that comment of mind hasn't aged well.

#1 though is still Magnet Missile.

Mega Man 10 tried to put it back in there, but they failed.

Yeah, but oh well.

Me: ^^;

Well it's hard to argue.

....

?

THIS IS FUCKING METAL!!!

If that's supposed to be a joke of some sort, I don't get it.

i'm surprised you haven't seen that before

Well if I have, then I forget.

Aaaah, the goold 'ol metal blades. No other weapon is as overpowered as this one

Yeah... Unless of course they were to give something like Rain Flush the same amount of weapon energy. ^^;

But since Rain Flush has less amounts of energy... Metal Blade for the win
And yay for Mega Man fans~

Yeah. As I said in an above comment though, I tend to be more of a situational player, so lasting power usually isn't as important for me as how effective the weapon is when I do use it.

That makes two of us then. I usually just go with the Mega Buster and ocassionally change to a different weapon for a difficult boss.

Yeah, same. I also use certain special weapons at certain parts if I can take full advantage of the weapon. Such as if I'm at a part where I have to stand on a small, moving platform while being attacked by flying enemies. If I have one, I'll equip something like a homing weapon, or a barrier one, to defend myself without much worry for falling off into a likely spike floor or pit.

Skull Barrier!! haha, yeah, I know what you mean.

Those shields. You first look at them and think, "This weapon is totally useless." Then you get to that one point in the game where it's the perfect choice, and you're like, "Best weapon ever!"

We all wish we could just do that and storm the place, if only we could...

Personally, Metal Blade is one of the reasons why Mega Man 2 is my least favorite of the classic series titles. One of the most fun aspects of any Mega Man game is utilizing all the various weapons' unique attributes to solve challenges. A gameplay trait that's completely stripped away when one weapon does it all better than any other alternative.

At least it’s not like, like, *shudders* mega man....8. Duh duh duh! You know? Where all the weapons are either useless, situational, or only useful against certain bossses their weakness.

If you asked me, I’d Say the most useful mega man 2 weapon, is the leaf shield.

Leaf Shield's also good.

The leaf shield makes for excellent grinding.
