Mega Man 10!

There was a topic for this a while ago but it was old and I was feeling lazy so I made a new one. S'alright?

Anyway, got the game the day it came out for I am a sucker for Mega Man Classic. I like it better than 9 so far, and that one was pretty nifty so this one is definitely great.

Proto Man is playable from the start now and he's the same as he was in 9 - he can block projectiles by jumping, slide, and charge his laz0r, but he takes hits like wet cardboard and has less options in the shop (he can't get M-tanks, for example)...although I guess he didn't even have a shop in 9 so it's all good! Also: Tango cameo in his shop. No joke. <3 Apparently Bass's shop will have Reggae in it.

Speaking of Bass, he isn't playable yet (his DLC will be out in April) but we do know a fair about him; he uses Treble (natch) and for the first time in an 8-bit Mega Man game we can shoot upwards with the default weapon! THANK YOU INAFUNE, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE DREAMS OF FORCING YOU TO PLAY THROUGH YOUR GAMES UNTIL THE END OF TIME WHILE ON A UNICYCLE.

Easy Mode is slightly easier than Mega Man 2. While 2 had harder stages (10-e seems like it's hand-holding a lot of the time until the Wily levels when it decides "hey, screw you" and becomes quite a bit more difficult) 10-e has harder bosses (the only bosses in 2 that put up a fight were Flash Man and Quick Man). Except for the dragon in Wily Stage 1 from 2. That godamned dragon. Easy Mode also has less cheap deaths; it is rare that a suicidal Mettool will knock you off a cliff or into spikes.

tl;dr Mega Man 10 is awesome.

Oh, bring like eleven billion Spike Guards for Wily's Fortress. YOU WILL NEED THEM. Remember to keep Triple Blade high too, you'll need it for the first part of the final boss (the second part is immune to it, unfortunately)

And to help you guys out:

Commando Man > Blade Man > Strike Man > Sheep Man > Pump Man > Solar Man (natch) > Chill Man (also natch) > Nitro Man > Commando Man.

Try to start with Blade Man if possible, Triple Blade is awesome. It's no Metal Blade, but still.

SUPER TL;DR I AM A NERD.
 
Aw man, why did you have to tell us the order of the bosses? Put that in a spoiler tag! I want to figure it out on my own...
 
WELL YOU COULD HAVE STOPPED READING

GOD.

There's also the fact every like every forum does spoiler tags a different way and I am too lazy to care how this one does it. It's the same way with strike.
 
Eh, that's fine. I just wanted to give a heads-up. I averted my eyes in time when I saw where your list was located. But it would've been ncie to have a warning.

But I have noticed a lot of discussions about Mega Man games where people casually list off the Robot Masters weaknesses like as if it's required knowledge getting into the game. I remember on my videos of Mega Man 9 where I tried to figure them out, I had comments yelling at me for not having learned them beforehand. Is this a normal thing?
 
It is a normal thing for people to look them up beforehand, but that's mostly because a lot of people (such as myself) have huge amounts of difficulty with the series.

This game I actually figured most of them out on my own, but that's only because there is an easy mode.

I am very bad at the Mega Man series.
 
I'm not too good at the series either. I try not to learn any of the Robot Masters' weaknesses beforehand, though, because I like to see what works and what doesn't, and to figure out how they move and attack. Knowing their weaknesses, I just blast them nonstop with the weakness weapon without paying attention to what they're capable of.

I died many times to all of the Robot Masters in Mega Man 9, even Galaxy Man. But I decided to try using just the Mega Buster to defeat them this time, and I had a lot more fun fighting them. I got to learn their tricks and intricacies, and developed strategies to take them out with little effort. (For instance, Magma Man is lousy at close-range combat, and there are a few areas Plug Man never jumps to.)
 
Yeah, I just suck so badly that even knowing the weaknesses often doesn't help me.

I'm very very bad at boss fights.
