Yeah I'd rather play Mega Man V over anything that isn't 2, 3, or 5 myself. It's just got a lot of interesting ideas and creative decisions. It's been a while since I've played it so I can't go into specifics but at the time I played it (have the original cart) I remember enjoying it just because it really put itself out there.

There's something I just like about the level design and soundtrack and even the story direction in Mega Man 5 (and I don't think Mega Man 4 deserves props for introducing the charge shot because it's kinda overpowered in that game-- Mega Man 5 charge shot is better thought out) that makes me rank it high so adding new ideas isn't everything, but like the new stuff Mega Man V tries makes it a more interesting play than the Mega Man games that aren't on that top tier.
