JEWEL SATELITE IS THE BEST SHIELD WEAPON EVER!

[Elpis TK31]

I just got around to playing MM9 last week (getting 46% in my first two playthroughs >.> bah,challenges >.>)
And I immedeatly noticed the awesomeness that is Jewel Satelite, a Shield weapon that can take good damage (like no other), can be fired but can also be carried (like Star Crash).
OH, AND IT [tornado fang]ing REFLECTS SHOTS!!! TAKE THAT MACHINE GUN JOE, MUHAHAHAHA

While Leaf Shield was a very effective weapon (for erradicating moles and whatnot) it didn't serve as well as a shield, seeing as you have to stand still with it..Star Crash dissapates with a single hit...as do Plant Barrier, Skull Barrier...

Yeah, I freaking love Jewel Satelite. debate shield weapons here.

It's definitely the best shield weapon. Best weapon is still the Metal Blade though.

[Rockmon]

Nah, rolling shield is better since it can last forever providing X doesn't hit something that take more than 1 or 2 shots.

[VixyNyan]

This is Classic series...

It's definitely the best shield weapon. Best weapon is still the Metal Blade though.

With the Laser Trident coming in very close after. Seriously, that weapon is just [twin slasher].

[Rockmon]

This is Classic series...

although this is in the original series section, he said "shield weapons" but nothing limiting it to the original series.

[Alice in Entropy]

Damn right it is. >>;

[Rad Lionheart]

I liked all the shield weapons, but Jewel Satellite definitely is both awesome and broken at the same time.

[Elpis TK31]

Regardless, this IS the classic series forum and if you look at my comparing, you'll notice that I listed only classic series weapons  

But for the hell of it, Rolling shield is about equal (counting only the Charged version, since Rolling Shield uncharged doesn't act like a shield weapon...at ALL) but no...I think Jewel Satelite does better damage...oh and then theres REFLECTING MOTHERF*CKING SHOTS, something wich I haven't seen a shield weapon do to often (Shield Boomerang comes to mind, wich takes 2nd place, even if it impede's movement...wich can be circumvented, but is annoying to do...) I have no idea if Jewel Satelite lasts forever tho, haven't used it enough for that.

So no, rolling shield isn't better, you can't fire it, you can't reflect shots with it.
It does get bonus points in Cyber Mission for making you immune to spikes...

Damn right it is. >>;

Try mixing that with the Rolling Shield, you'd get a badass defensive weapon. (though I liked Skull Sheild)

[Acid]

Has there ever been a shield weapon that could be used on the final boss? I don't remember any besides Rolling Shield.

[Gaia]

I think Leaf Shield, since it has a little more range at times.

[Rockmon]

Shield Boomerang

what?

[Elpis TK31]

Now that I think about it, If I take elemental chips and EX skills into account, the Shield Boomerang (defense weapon in Zero1~3, uhr) would be the best shield weapon...but that seems a bit unfair, seeing as the EX skills are the "weapons" of the Zero series.

I think Leaf Shield, since it has a little more range at times.

Leaf shield does dick against Wily. as do all other weapons besides bubble lead (iirc).

Has there ever been a shield weapon that could be used on the final boss? I don't remember any besides Rolling Shield.

I honestly don't know, perhaps Star Crash (tho that should be empty from use against the Wily Press)
Also, using the charged Rolling Shield against Sigma is...unpractical? I have to try it, but you would have to activate it as you jump of Sigma's claw, since that cancels CRS, *shrugs* oh and then again, there is the shield boomerang, OH so useful against SeraphX on Hard, reasonably useful against Elpis and Omega...yeah Rolling Shield doesn't have squat on it.

Other weapons heals Alien Wily, so only Bubble Lead works.

[Sky Child]

Jewel Satellite is fah-king secksy.

[Align]

Broken, in fact. Maybe it should have a time limit, and fall off after some 10 seconds or so... currently you can farm infinite extra lives by standing under one of those whatsit-spawning pipes. Not to mention completely filling up on WE (with autobalancer), which is very handy for wily stages.

[Elpis TK31]

Broken = Awesome

-Elpis

[Protoman Blues]

Broken = Awesome

This same philosophy also applies to MM3 Rush Jet and Storm Tornado!   

[Flok]

Jewel Satellite, [tornado fang] yeah!/Team America

[Da Dood]

It's awesome because it's broken! MM9 is like a big Rock-n-Roll shout out to Metal Blade haters. Half the game's weapons are overly powerful, and still the game is balanced as ever.

Good ol' Marvel vs Capcom 2 way! If everything's broken, then nothing is.

[VixyNyan]

That's the kind of broken that I love.
Thanks to that, Rockman 9 is very high on my top lists already.

Because they're energy guzzlers like in 2?

This is Classic series...

Don't you know that X and Mega are the same person because they're both blue?

[VixyNyan]

Don't you know that X and Mega are the same person because they're both blue?

They call him the Blue Bomber because... he's blue! Blue blue blue blue blue blue!

[Jericho]

In before "if he was green he would die..."
