Since there has already been a favorite Robot Master boss thread, I thought we could use another thread this time with the X series. It doesn't have to be one of the eights Maverick bosses you have to face in the games (ex. Eregion or Vile) but if you have a boss please post it down.

I'll start with my favorites:

Slash Beast
Double
Magma Dragoon
Armored Armadillo
Spark Mandrill
Vile
Dynamo

Hmmm now THIS is a hard one. Especially for X-X3, where all the bosses are pretty awesome. Let's see if I can narrow it down:

MMX - I really like Chill Penguin, as well as Storm Eagle. Vile rocks.
MMX2 - Magna Centipede is pretty cool, Crystal Snail too. Also: Counter Hunters
MMX3 - Toxic Seahorse I like very much, and Blizzard Buffalo could have been awesome if the attack pattern wasn't so... bland. Bit, Byte and Vile are great in this one, I always kill them on our first encounter.
MMX4 - Everybody likes Magma Dragoon. Many like Colonel. I also like Eregion and Jet Stingray.
MMX5 - Grizzly Slash is great. Like an attempt to recreate Duo for the X series.
MMX6 - Never played it lol
MMX7 - Never played iBURN BURN BURN BURN BURN TO THE GROUND lol
MMX8 - Dark Mantis, has a lame name but is awesome. Bamboo Pandamonium's name is far cooler. And Vile. Looks like he got himself some locks in X8.

Well, naturally Magma Dragoon is the most awesome Maverick yet created.  He takes the perfection of fellow Capcom characters Ryu, Ken, and Akuma and improves upon it with Mega Man-ish panache!  I'm also a big fan of Kuwanger, who has a slick design plus the ability to spam-teleport.  Magna Centipede was also a great design in concept and execution.  I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to fight a four-armed shinobi with magno-kinesis and teleport capacity.

Ninetails from Command Mission also gets an honorable mention, if for nothing else then having godlike fighting techniques.  Annihilator Hadouken, anyone?



Enjoy life,

He also drops the Red Lotus Sabre. Which is a kickass weapon. Except for the fact that it drops Zero's DEF to... zero!
Great for enemies who have to die quickly. But longer bossbattles should be fought with the Z-Sabre +++ instead.

Guys, please let me know when did Gwen Stacy getting retroactively impregnated with Goblin Twins solve any contradiction whatsoever and didn't create a whole set of new ones. TTFN

You prefer the Z-Saber over the Z-Rapier?  I like the Z-Saber as well, but always thought the Rapier was statistically superior.

Going to mention a few more favorites.  I really dig Double.  He's a blade-wielding psycho who gets tougher when you use his weakness.  That's just awesome.  Scarface is pretty cool too.  His big hair is kinda 'meh', but his ability to counter repeated attack types shows off his mad skills.  Makes me wonder how he would function in an action game setting, rather than an RPG setup.  *muses*



Enjoy life,

Avalanche Yeti, Shining Firefly and Dr. Psyche, no questions asked. Nothing to do with the boss fight (well, except Psyche, I thought his fght was awesome), I just think they're really cool characters.

Try getting through the bottom without getting stepped on, that's hard. (Dash makes it easier, but eh)

X1: Vile + Flame Mammoth
X2: Intro Mecha + Overdrive Ostrich
X3: Bit & Byte + Tunnel Rhino
X4: Iris + Cyber Peacock
X5: Dynamo + Firefly
X6: Nightmare Zero + Infinity Mijion
X7: Red + Ride Boarski
X8: Vile + Bamboo Pandamonium
Xt1: Zain + Chill Penguin
Xt2: Berkana + Neon Tiger
XRPG: Intro Boss + Swallow

Some of the mavericks next to the story bosses never get that much notion..


Workshop/DA/YT/Photobucket なにかんがえてるの!?
So its about ass now huh? EVEN THE ASS HAS 'EXCEEDED'!

One mention of LEGENDS and everyone goes batshit.  :\

Yep, every time when someone mentions that game people get energized for an apparent reason whatsoever. It's like this everywhere else, trust me.

It got really messy to find my sprite and comic topic, so it's in my sig.
