The half energy consumption upgrade seems like it would really benefit Salt Water's low ammo count, but is it really useful for the other weapons?

I'm pretty sure doubling the amount of shots you have is great for any weapon.

That new weapon looks like Megaman's shooting confetti out of his hand.

Couldn't you also Break Dash to get the shiny, or can you not make it over that gap?

You can't break dash in the air, and you can't jump while doing the animation.

Is there anything going for Electric Shock other than the fact that it's a melee weapon?

Kind of funny to me that Jupiter is the stage with low gravity, despite it having the highest gravity of any planet of our Solar System by far.

They have low gravity systems in place to stop robots from being crushed. Cranking up their power is their idea of planetary defenses against Megaman. It doesn't work too well?

Supposedly a lot of the Stardroids take inspiration from Greek/Roman gods. Mercury: Wikipedia posted:He is the patron god of financial gain, commerce, eloquence (and thus poetry), messages/communication (including divination), travelers, boundaries, luck, trickery and thieves Mars, of course, is the god of war. The fact he has missiles, mines, and bullets as attacks makes sense. The only real thing linking Venus with the Stardroid counterpart is mainly in the stage. In mythology, Venus was born of sea foam and this is heavily apparent in the stage. You could also argue the bubble bomb could go hand-in-hand with that as well. His design is crab-like too, and of course crabs are very much associated with the sea. I really shouldn't have to explain Neptune at all. Jupiter is the god of the sky and lightning. He has a lightning weapon and he stays airborne throughout the entire battle. Pluto is another tricky one. He's associated with the underworld, but there's also this: Wikipedia posted:...a god of wealth, because mineral wealth was found underground, and because as a chthonic god Pluto ruled the deep earth that contained the seeds necessary for a bountiful harvest. I'll hold off on explaining the others seeing as how we haven't seen them yet.

Oh man, Quintum. How did I miss this thread being here for two months. This is my favorite GB Megaman. Incidentally, awhile back somebody in the Megaman thread posted this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIeRzAV7Ah0 It's a fan animation based off of the opening for Tatsunoko vs Capcom (I think? One of those Capcom vs. *franchise* fighting games), that's supposed to be a potential OP for an anime based on the Megaman Megamix manga. I'm linking it because the main badguys in the last few chapters of the comic are the Stardroids, and I thought it would be appropriate to post in this thread.

I'm kind of amazed that a boss fight has weird repercussions because the screen is too big for it.

Seemed like they were really running out of ideas for boss weapons there. "Hey, it's been 7 years since Guts Man, just call this one "Deep Digger" and let's call it a day.

Deep Digger is more or less a weapon for exploration in this game. Outside of getting those gem things, I don't seem to recall using it a lot. Maybe it gets used in the later levels- Saturn is where my ROM kept freezing so I could be wrong.

That gravity mechanic was pretty interesting. I noticed something. When you shoot out Mega Man's arm and then slide the sliding sprite still has his arm when the running sprite does not. A bit of an over sight on their part.

Fun fact for the day: Saturn is the Roman god of Time, which should explain Saturn's time stopping.

I think they had to leave it because during the video you can also see Mega can slide while holding a block to throw.

This is the best stage. So many parts of it are what sold me on V being my favorite GB megaman. The reveal after Terra, the zoom-out in the rush level, all of it. It just does a lot of things other MM games did not, which is fun, even if it's not "technically" the best level. Whatever.

That side-scroller shooting section reminded me a lot of Kirby Super Star, with the sudden change in genres and all. Since Kirby Super Star is a great game, this is a good thing. It looked fun, at least.

I had real trouble with this stage and thus don't like it. But I recognize that it's a nice change to the usual formula.

A very short, unconventional level, but a pretty cool change-up of the usually very typical Mega Man formula. Looking forward to the final section of the game, especially seeing as how I didn't watch this at SGDQ when they ran it!
