I Have to Beat Mega Man & Bass!

It's time for the 8 and a half'th game in the series! And it's the first game in the classic series where you can play as a different character. That's pretty based!
As always, a HUGE thanks to my mega chads for their support of the channel. Without you, this video would not have been possible. Consider joining and becoming a mega chad today! / @powerguygg

[@basedseraph4965]

Fun Fact: The only reason this game was made was to prove the SNES (Super Famicom) can make a game like Megaman 8 on that system. Seriously the developers actually said "Megaman 8 should have been on SNES and we will prove it".

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

yeah i wish it was executed better, though

[@basedseraph4965]

@@LavaCreeperPeople Yes, I wish they didn't reuse the sound effects from Megaman 7, and introduced new sounds effects. I also think they should have made two new Robot masters instead of reusing Astro man and Tengu man. And, lastly toning down a little on the difficulty. Megaman and Bass felt like it was a Kiazo hack of a Megaman game.

[@panthekirb7561]

@@basedseraph4965 Its a shame because imo it needed minimal tweaking to be a top tier mega man game. Less tweaking than MM8 needs thats for sure. Though MMB is far from kaizo. I actually think its easier than MM9.

[@basedseraph4965]

@@panthekirb7561 That's because you are very good at Megaman games. A casual player coming from games like Megaman 2 and 3 are going to struggle with MMB. There was so many difficult jumps and unfair enemy placement in Megaman and Bass. I do agree that Megaman 9 was no walk in the park either.

[@josephwj7199]

@@panthekirb7561 Agreed that overall MM&B is not as hard as everyone's making it out to be. I had a harder time with 9 and 10, for example. It has to be played differently than a traditional classic MM game; especially if playing as Mega Man.

3:38 It's funny how he can play through difficult games and keep (some of) his composure, but slowly being denied the ability to choose what order he can play completely breaks him and gives him sentience.

Can't wait ten more years for a Mega Man 9 video! Ok but seriously amazing work, you really outdid yourself with this one. my favorite parts were when Proto Man really thought he was a main character haha I really do hope we se gigachad King in another game.

Love the hard work and effort that went into this video, the voice acting, memes and appreciation for this underrated gem of game. I ranked Megaman and Bass as one of my Top 25 games of all time, at first I considered X3 and X4 but those games don’t give that much of a challenge and don’t have collectible CDs so I ultimately decided on Rockman & Forte.

Mega Man 8 for super players... if you don't choose Bass. Some compare it to Mega Man X6 but aside from the checkpointing in the King stages I found it much better-balanced. I like how the CD collection includes Game Boy-only characters like Enker and Sunstar.

[@davidgusquiloor2665]

16:14 This is weirdly touching for a meme reference. Good job. I'm glad you didn't skip this one. I know most people find Bass easier but i have had an easier time as Mega Man. And King recruiting and building his own followers in canon is pretty cool, shame we never see him again.
