The way you play Mega Man games

[Gotham Ranger]

Nothing beats playing with the PB Saber.

Protoman, HOOO!

[ST Jestah]

I pretty much do what everyone else around here does: shoot to the music whenever possible, jump/slide/dash through a door, keep the buster charged (only in the X and later series). I used to jump all over the place (in the game) when playing MML (I say 'used to' because I haven't played Legends in a long time). I only use the buster and rarely use any weapons (only use them when necesary)...oh yeah, and I talk to myself whenever I play.

Edit: Apparently I still keep my buster charged in the original series as well, but I guess it's no biggie. I did it as a child, and I'll certainly keep doing it to this day.

[Police Girl]

I shoryuken down the hole to Sigma in X2. And I shoryuken Agile instantly as soon as I start fighting him.

[Fxeni]

I rarely use weapons. To challenge myself, I try to avoid all upgrades possible, although I do have times where I run through the games with everything, demolishing all in my path. I also always keep something charged when it's applicable.

Oh yeah, I have to yell out Hadouken or Shoryuken whenever I use them, or else it just feels wrong.

[Sub Tank]

With my feet.

[Satoryu]

when i defeat Chill Penguin, i shout "COOL!"

cause, you know, Chill Penguin uses ice, and ice is.... ah [tornado fang] you.

[Protoman Blues]

I play Mega Man games....*puts on Sunglasses*...Blues style!

YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[Gauntlet101010]

I cheat and use Game Genie or Game Shark. 

And I usually use an emulator when I can. 

[MereBytes]

The way I play is that I try not lose any health on levels and I start level all over again if I do. I also collect everything I can...
I've got a few youtube vids if anyone's is interested (PM)(MMZ games only, haven't had motivation to record other than MMZ series)

[Shinichameleon / Nayim]

I love jumping at Boss gate without any reason
Especially Gravityman's stage, almost going foward into gate.

[Elpis TK31]

Releasing the charge button while sliding in R4, and pushing it down again before the slide ends.

Other quirks...I slash/shoot while walljumping in ZX, oh and I turbodash (rapid forward) while the slow guy in Anubis' mission follows you...hmm...other than that, just speedrunning.

[dzamper]

Jumping thru the gates, huzzah! Also standing subpixel from the gate and then entering it, you know, I bet everyone will have same facial expression and behave like normal while having ability to move while sliding without moving (lol). Speaking of abilities, I mainly use P-Buster, when I have Mega Buster/X Buster/whateva I rarely charge when not needed because sound is annoying. I RARELY use any special weapons, I would more likely risk death than using Rush or weapons special abilities (and that makes some stages harder for me than they really are). I always go through the lasers in Quickman's stage without using Flash Stopper (it's useful for Quickman itself, or I just pwn him with one correctly placed Crash Bomber). And I always suceed (it got a bit boring, though. You know, being perfect all the time is not so nice). Speaking of Crash Bombs, if boss is relatively easy to me I always try to beat him after dying. Having orbs frozen on screen after beating boss is priceless Just all what I can remember, I will post/edit if I recall something more.

[Hypershell]

My style varies with the game, but generally I tend to give high priority to non-weapon support items.  Rush, X's armors, and such.

Also always nice to be flashy.  I generally like to jump in and give all the enemies heck, although I am capable of tip-toeing my way through for no damage (did it in Zero), but that's just not the way I have fun.  Part of why I love X6 so much, you can tank yourself up to ridiculous levels and plow through equally ridiculous mobs in Gate's Lab.

[Mirby]

In the Classic timeline, I utilize what I call the Hit & Run Strategy until the bosses. Yes, I charge through enemies in a mad dash to kill the boss! Then I try to use strategy to defeat the boss.

In EXE and Star Force, I fill my folder with the strongest chips possible. I've only recently seen the wisdom of using Recov Chips and Barriers (in EXE I used the FstBarr NCP, SF I use the equivalent program in 2 and do without in 1). In Battle Chip GP, I use what I judge to be the best elemental Navis (High MB, High HP, High AP). So I use Bass, ThunMan (with stun chips), WoodMan (with TreeBoms), IceMan (BigCloud!), and HeatMan (Meteor5!), and many swords. The elements are spread equally in my folder.

[Flok]

I priorize the bosses on the select screen, I seek my target and unleash my balls of steel.

Generally speaking, I prefer using only the Mega Buster, unless someone like High Max is in my way.

I walk in Classic Mega Man and dash in Mega Man games beyond. I press R everywhere in Battle Network and StarForce in order for me to jack in or go on air.

[Frozen Potato]

dash like crazy,slash like crazy,shoot like crazy,dodge like crazy,jump like crazy,wall jump like crazy and so on...

[Elpis TK31]

[Acrosurge]

I tend to "combo" bosses; I hit 'em with a charged Buster blast, then immediately nail 'em with their weakness.  Don't know that it takes bosses down any quicker, I just like the idea.  I'm a big fan of the games in which you can use the Buster and special weapons simultaneously.  I'm a huge fan of MHX, in which I always start stacking weapons once I have them (example: Charged Rolling Shield or Chameleon Sting while using the X-Buster, Storm Tornado, or Hadouken).

[Romantic Fool]

I try to play without getting hit much, but aside from the original, X, and legend series, I just main the sword and slash.

Original, X, and legends, keep something charged, move around a lot, avoid getting hit. I fail pretty hard at it though.

[Archer]

Normally.

[Nexus]

Charged shots stored up, Buster only bosses (unless I die once on the boss, have low health going in, or the boss is an absolute pain without their weakness (read: High Max)), grabbing every upgrade and item considered useful ASAP, conservative "stay the [tornado fang] away from harmful objects" play style. That about sums it up. 

[ParasiteBirth]

I take my time and enjoy the game, if its MM9 I try to beat my record everytime. 

[Star Man]

After being exposed to TAS videos for the X series a while ago, I am usually flying through stages by one-shotting many enemies with special weapons because it's faster and I enjoy kidding myself that most of them are useful. I also do not like standing still and I'm always on the move pumping shots at the air or something.
