I got Legacy Collection 1 for $15. I've screwed around with it on a variety of different platforms but I've never actually sat down and played it seriously. This will be my first time playing it with a controller.

I beat Chill Penguin, Spark Mandrill and Armored Armadillo last night.

One more fight against Launch Octopus. So far, the fights that have given me the most trouble are him, Booming Kuwanger and Sting Chameleon. Sting Chameleon in particular can eat a pile of shit and die - thank god for Kuwanger's power.

If you start with Flame Mammoth when you get to Chill's stage you can get both the boots and heart tank and never return to that level again.

That's what I did. It helps that Chill Penguin is the easiest boss in the game.

On the inverse you can do chill for boots, eagle for helmet, then do mammoth to get gun, heart tank and energy reserve. All the levels are short anyway.

Yeah the stages are short, but I was thinking of efficiency.

Of course having said that I completely forgot about the Heart Tank And E-Tank in Flame's stage. You need at minimal the boots to break those blocks for the E-Tank.

That is definitely the best part about X1. The way you just encounter them through the Sigma Stages was done great.

Wish the X and Zero games had kept that. It felt more natural.

Possibly the best Mega Man game ever. The only other X game that competes with it is 4, and that's largely because of how fun playing as Zero is.

Hell yeah. X2 was an amazing sequel dont get me wrong, but that was a huge disappointment to me when I first got to the end.

Damn, I wasn't expecting to get other people into the game lol

The 2 Legacy Collections are $30 each in Australia, but both of them were down to $15 each. The plan is to finish the first one on my own time, them grab Legacy Collection 2 when it goes on sale again.

Crystal Snail isn't the easiest, but he's the one I used to start as a kid, so I kept the order alive. Honestly, the easiest one for me to kill first is Bubble Crab, but I usually save him for later.

Absolutely

X5 is playable but introduces too much nonsense, and then it just got worse from there. X8 tried to bring everything back to reform, but was also too gimmicky.

This is probably the perfect review of X5. It's not awful, but it's...goofy. Wonky. Too many systems it didn't need to have. And level design that got a little too cute.

Yo fr, Sigma's fortress is some hot garbage to begin with. The one thing about Mega Man games that I can't stand is that bullshit platforming part in almost any fortress level where a single slip up is instant death, and the game throws the most annoying shit at you to the point that you either have to take damage just to have a chance of getting through, or hope and pray that letting the platform variables loop for a while will make everything more manageable.

I'll see about trying the platforms again with Chill Penguin's ice projectiles. But either way, fuck those stupid clown helicopters. I probably did this to myself - when I played the NES Mega Man games as a teenager, I used to cheat to get past the blatant horseshit. Now I'm paying the price >_>

You don't have to take damage. If you're talking about the part right after Zero dies, you're supposed to use Sting Chameleon's charged weapon. The game hints at this by giving you the weapon charge after Zero dies.

He's p obviously talking about the moving platforms over the pit at the very start of Sigma Stage 1.

Also added spoilers because idk what TC knows or doesn't know.

I didn't, I meant the hovering platforms at the very start. But I did actually get through to Vile and see Zero's sacrifice, so you didn't spoil anything for me there. Try to be a bit more careful with story details?
