Title: Worst boss designs
Post by: Blackhook on July 12, 2010, 05:22:44 PM
Exactly what the tittle says. I like the Megaman franchise especially for their creative bosses and boss fights. But to be honest not all of the desings look that great and not to mention some boss fights are horrible.
 I want you to list what you think are the worst looking bosses of any of the Megaman games and explain you choices.
Here is my list:

1. Leganchor (Megaman ZX)

I like the overall style of the game. I love the enemies and bosses. except for one. This fugly thing that dares to possess one half of model L. He looks just weird. Was there really a need for another huge ice pseudoroid? Lurrene is awesome, but this thing is pathetic.
 He takes up the entire room and doesn´t move one bit. His attacks are pathetic. The sub bosses of the game are more threatening than him.

2. Fortress bosses (MM6)

This. Things. Are. Ugly.

I liked Leganchor's design. :c

But I wished he could move a little bit more.

Definitely Strike Man. Guess they ran out of ideas. In fact, most of MM10 robot masters look awkward in design too.

Which are basically identical to the ones in MM8.

For the worst RM designs in history, one must not look further than Rockman & Forte: Challenger From The Future.

Aircon Man, Konro Man, Clock Men and Dangan Man, mainly. Especially the latter. :o

Though, I must admit that I have some sort of morbid fascination, with them. I might give them a redesign, some day...[eyebrow]

But I like his design. ._.

As do I. In Junk Man's defense, it suits his name. ;)

Inti was going for generic animals to portray the Model L bosses. Lurre represented the Angler and Leghancor represented the almighty Giga Squid. And Junkman, they were all supposed to look fugly.

What about choo-choo man?  8D

Nah, but they pushed their luck with Splash, not fond with the siren design, it was awfully generic in my opinion. :P
However.. Ragna Bagna's the epitome of ugly, it's litterally.. a face.

Ragna Bagna
"Rangda Bangda"?

remember hes got at least 3 different forms. which one? X1, X5, or Z4?

Fafnir. "HURR DURR LOOK AT ME! I'M SO HOT-BLOODED! I ALWAYS COMMUNICATE BY YELLING IN A SHRILL TONE OF VOICE AND JUST BEING AN ANNOYING [Top Spin] IN GENERAL, YET PEOPLE STILL LOVE ME BECAUSE THEY ARE ALSO SHALLOW AND STUPID INDIVIDUALS, LIKE ME!"

He's also [acid burst] easy regardless of how you fight him. But I always do with it with a charged thunder chip just to shut him up faster.
Title: Re: Worst boss designs
Post by: Hypershell on July 14, 2010, 12:47:05 AM
The entire Zero series is [acid burst] easy unless you fear the almighty wrath of Rank.

1. Leganchor (Megaman ZX)
Hey, we needed SOMEBODY to be Screw Halberd bait!
And yeah, I happen to love Leganchor's design, too.  If you want to talk ugly giant ice bosses, I'd start with Bifrost.  At least with Leganchor, no matter how easy he is, you do have to actually move.

Heh, if that's the case then Zero 2's ranking system is more bullshit than anything else those babies can name in X6. Ever get graded a B for a score of 95? I did. On Poler Kamrous's stage. After that, I stopped caring over whether I got the EX skills or not.

What's wrong with his design, other than the fact that he's abhorrently tall?
I didn't like his "dark side" thing, though. What are you talking about, you pinhead?

Godkarmachine O Inary. Just strange design... And name
Title: Re: Worst boss designs
Post by: Hypershell on July 15, 2010, 12:56:59 AM
Godkarmachine looks a lot better in sprite work than he does in artwork, if you ask me (kinda the inverse of Blaze Heatnix).  Once you realize that red thing on his neck is actually his face, it's just creepy.

Heh, if that's the case then Zero 2's ranking system is more bullshit than anything else those babies can name in X6. Ever get graded a B for a score of 95? I did. On Poler Kamrous's stage. After that, I stopped caring over whether I got the EX skills or not.
It's because the Rank reflects your average across all missions, not the most recent.

You want to talk bullshit ranks, check out Mario Kart Wii.  B Grade for a freaking perfect score.

Mission average wasn't until zero3...

Zero3 was merely the first game to DISPLAY your average.  Your average was always tracked by the game, and was always the basis for Rank.  It's the same method across all four games.

bad design? well, Spiral Pegacion had a nice design artwork wise, but his sprite was pretty awkward. Especially his attack one. (when he throws the tornado at you. that one was his worst sprite) and the fact that he was worse animated than even Storm Eagle.

Huh. That's really odd. I managed to keep a consistent A rank in Z1 despite having some sloppy runs on a few stages there as well. (Most notably the bomb defusing mission; got sick of fighting Phantom because at the time I didn't realize you were actually able to hit him during his desperation move like Leviathan and Harpuia, yet still got an A rank anyway.)

Also, lol @ Mario Kart Wii; all the more reason why you should stick to F-Zero X for your racing fix. :V

Comparing F-Zero to Mario Kart is like comparing Street Fighter to Smash Bros.  Genres be damned, they are not interchangeable.

I'm not even going to ask in what context that image is considered mentally traumatizing.  To me it looks like an Animorphs alien spliced with a plant.

That was disgusting.

Meanwhile, how about the 8 mavericks from X3?  All of them Neon Tiger and maybe Crush Crawfish were either ugly or stupid looking.  ESPECIALLY Big-Mouth Catfish.

I never really had a problem with X3's bosses honestly.

Volt Man would've been a pretty good design if it would've got a lot of polish IMO.

As for my least favorite design:
(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Y0rCYCJsEYQ/SyqBFf2O38I/AAAAAAAABns/5KEyk70oPd0/s320/Plantman.png)

A flower robot ... a robot flower ... an artificial being made to look like something natural ... they could've named him Oxymoron Man for all I care.

Plant Man? a bad boss design? I always thought he looked pretty cool.

I don't think there's a robot master who has a bad design.

Yellow Devil takes skills, this one takes nothing.  This boss is a big slap to the face of first time players.
