Title: It always the little things.....
Post by: Waifu on January 12, 2009, 09:50:54 PM
I played MM games for along while now and while they may be fun to play, there just some parts in the games that are a little [tornado fang]ing that makes you want to smash your controller. Some parts in the games (ex. spikes, getting pushedback when hit and Quick Man's insta death laser things) just irritate but after replaying the stages over and over again, they annoy me less. What are the little things in any MM game that annoy that use to or still annoy you?

ENEMIES. GRRRRR. HOW DARE THEY STAND IN MY WAY?

Actually, just enemies I couldn't jump over.

Goddamned bats. (Anything that attacks you when you try to jump, causing you to fall into a pit or spikes.)

Specifically, those things with the helicopter blades (prominently seen towards the end of the intro stage to X1). They'd get me all the time there and in Chill Penguin's stage (at least in the GBC version of the stage).

Also to add some irony to the title, you left out a verb. It's always the little things, doncha know.

The disappearing blocks, even when I memorize the pattern I get screwed over because I'm either slow or too quick to react on time.

That's why you memorize the flight path and appearance spots; don't know how, but I was always better with the X series in this regard than the Classic.  :)

What gets me are level parts that you have to memorize PIXEL-PERFECTLY, or DIE, Quickman's stage being a prime contender with some parts of X6 coming to mind.   -_-  Enemy-wise, I can handle just about every normal enemy type, but the bosses tend to cause trouble (at least, again, in the Classic series). Of course, once I pull out their weakness, I make thy [twin slasher] face.  bVd

ATM, I can think of three things that [acid burst] me off about the stages.
1. the damn quick lasers and any cross series variants.
2. disappearing blocks.
3. the mech joes in flashman's stage.
Title: Re: It always the little things.....
Post by: Hypershell on January 16, 2009, 09:18:39 PM
Can't think of anything recurring, but going by the individual game:

MM1 - Those damn pogo-stick cyclopses
MM1 (again) - Those gun-toting platforms that may or may not crash you into a spiked ceiling in Wily Stage 1.
MM7 - Burst Man
MM9 - F@#*$$@ING HELICOPTER CLAWS!!!
MM&B - The giant fire bombers in Burner Man's stage.  That and the lack of a dash button on GBA.

X3 - The buster upgrade.
X5 - Power-Up Part distribution is more ass-backwards than mooning while moonwalking.
X7 - Pretty much everything X says.
Xtreme1 - Music.

Z1-3 - The fact that weaknesses are just recolors of standard attacks.

The floating foot-holders in Iceman's stage. Funny story; at that part in the game, my brother walked in on me venting my anger in profanity. But that was a long time ago.

Almost broke my original copy because of that, but lucky me the label was scratched and didn't work anymore so I invested in the X collection.

Gaea Armor is AWESOME.  Retrieving it is fine if you're following the "recommended" boss order of the game.  I just wish they hadn't rigged X5 to kill the whole "start anywhere" appeal of the series.  Gaea sadly adds to that, since getting it requires three weapons and Falcon Armor (or 1 weapon, 2 power-up parts, and a hell of an awesome bit of viral abuse).

But yeah, Rangda Bangda against Gaea Armor is completely F#$%ed.

Definitely disappearing blocks and instant death speed lasers.  Those hippos from Ring Man's stage are a bit bothersome to me, as are the tigers from Mega Man 5, and those cyclops stomper things from Mega Man 1.

I think I'll have to side with whoever said "disappearing blocks," when I think about it.  I suddenly recalled having to fight Omega roughly eight or ten times in MMZX because I couldn't safely get past the disappearing blocks outside his boss room on the way back.

Though, to be fair, I was pretty [tornado fang]ing good at killing Omega by the time I did get out. >_>

Same here - I just use Model P's ceiling hang ability mixed with some quick Model H hovering. I'd done it before, but then I forgot to save, so I just said "screw it," pulled out my Z3 and Z4 cartridges, and had me some bosses to kill.

Title: Re: It always the little things.....
Post by: Kieran on February 25, 2009, 04:59:22 AM
I wrote a walkthrough for X5 years ago... by the time I was finished with it, I could do that ride chaser sequence in my sleep, and that's while collecting all the energy orbs.

I doubt such is the case now.  I haven't played it in a couple years.

What annoys me?
1. disappearing blocks
2. that one enemy that manages to hit you while jumping, sending you straight down into a pitt or a bed of spikes
3. X's and Rock's voice
4. All the voice actors in MMZXA
5. Bosses with random attack patterns (looking at ShadowM)
They're others but I can't remember them.

Post by: Zan on March 28, 2009, 05:30:29 PM
Yeah, Albert's English voice actor definitely beats the Japanese one, he goes perfectly from being a fake nice guy to pure evil. In the beginning of the game he really sounds like the only one of the Sage Trinity to actually be friendly to both Grey and Ashe, to the point of a fatherly figure fittingly enough. He nicely turned that around to being an insane scientist with god-syndrome. By comparison, I think the Japanese Albert liked any drama in his "I am a God." line.

Aeolus has a good voice too, he really sounds like he looks down upon the world, but I can't say much for how it compares to Helios.
Title: Re: It always the little things.....
Post by: Kieran on March 28, 2009, 05:49:17 PM
Albert's English VA was the best one in the game, hands down.  Too bad 90% of the others sucked.
Title: Re: It always the little things.....
Post by: Hypershell on March 28, 2009, 09:48:10 PM
Vent's VA is the real head-scratcher for me.  He sounds awesome in the transformation video, yet so incredibly bad throughout the rest of the game.

OK so I forgot about this three, who were good voice actors by the way.

However that still doesn't forgive MMZXA for having bad voice acting (like some mediocre JRPGs). Specially Katie Adler (Model A's voice)!. God this voice gave me a headache every time the [tornado fang]ing Biometal started talking. I really hope that if they do make a MMZX3 that Katie (or another voice actor) do a diffrent voice over for Model A, because MMZXA's is very annoying.  Or better yet, let Model A not talk at all, that be great.
