[@Beriorn]

So after crunching the numbers here's a list of how the games rank based on their Robot Masters. I added together all the ranks from the Robot Masters, then divided the result by eight to get an average rank. This produced the following results: - #11: Mega Man & Bass, with 68,875. Pitiful number. Even having Ground Man at #12 doesn't save the game when three-quarters of the Robot Masters are in the bottom quarter of the list. - #10: Mega Man 5, with 60,75. Charge Man and Gyro Man might be high up, but the rest are all at the bottom. - #8/9: Mega Man 2 and 8 with 55,25. The only tie, with two clusters near the bottom being dragged up by the rest. 8 has both the highest and lowest ranking entry. - #7: Mega Man 1 with 49,75. The two pairings near the top (Bomb & Oil and Time & Guts) drag the stragglers at the bottom up nicely. - #6: Mega Man 6 with 43,75. Slighty fanned out with a focus in the low 30s. - #5: Mega Man 4 with 40,375. A wide grouping at the mid-range, with only Toad Man lagging behind to drag everyone down. - #4: Mega Man 3 with 39,875. Beating 4 with only half a point, Mega Man 3 has a tighter grouping with Needle Man and Shadow Man balancing each other out. - #3: Mega Man 7 with 35,25. A cluster in the low 40s is helped by having two entries in the top 5. - #2: Mega Man 10 with 26,875. Pump Man, Blade Man and Commando Man appear early, but when the other five are in the top 20 you'll score high. - #1: Mega Man 9 with 13,5. Not even a contest. Magma Man is the lowest at #30, and it only goes up from there with four entries in the top 10. So congratulations, Mega Man 9. You have the best Robot Masters.

[@Bikee-uh6of]

Are the commas decimals?

[@Beriorn]

Yeah, I'm from a part of the world where commas are used for decimals and periods for the punctuation of large numbers, so I write 5.238.823,49 instead of 5,238,823.49.

[@Bikee-uh6of]

I did not know that. Good to know

[@casualtom82]

Well something's off if 6's scored lower than 4's, but at least none are in the top ten. Seriously though, Bright Man may be my least favorite of all time. Plus the game has Toad Man.

Mega Man 9 rightfully earned it's spot. Such a fantastic game. Also Hot damn the music is second to none, although Mega Man 3 is a close second.

[@pypi3]

From personal experience, I 100% agree with having Freeze Man number 1 or 2. He’s how an MMX boss SHOULD be. Just imagine other bosses that chain their attacks together in such a way. Concrete Man is the perfect example of a Classic Robot Master, his pattern is simple and effective, but still very fun.

[@RollingPolio]

Pyrrhus LJ frankly thats why i hate his fight, while it is very well put together and has nice transitioning, the pattern is a tad too fast and half the shit he does freezes you in place so he can cycle his pattern until he hits you, i get his name is freeze man but ffs man, the weakness is awkward and you can't really pull off a no-hit any easier with it, and sometimes the ceiling icicles and freeze man himself just don't let you through, i mean its a nice fight with amazing flow but man is it a pain to do

[@uandresbrito5685]

@@RollingPolio Most fights in classic are extremely painful to no damage anyways thanks to crap patterns or RNG. Freeze Man's fight is entirely manipulable and you will never take a pattern that you can't handle, no matter where you position yourself, as long as you make him jump at the right moment. I get you disliking it tho. It would be the Quickman of the game if there wasn't Slash Man with all that crap. I think Nico overates Slash Man too much.

[@linhero797]

​@@RollingPolio Did you know that Freeze Man jumps when you shoot him? I was just as curiouswhy Freeze Man was high up and I felt he was rather garbage.

[@PoipoleBoi]

Tomahawk Man's weakness makes a lot of sense. A native american getting sick by something they're not familiar with, such as a foreign flower. The problem is that the weakness uses way too much energy when it's able to be destroyed by projectiles and it doesn't even pierce through projectiles even if it would still use the same amount of ammunition.

[@Dog-999i]

I think ground man deserves more points on his weakness. It's awesome to plant the bomb on him while he's doing his invincible drill charge move so you can detonate it right away once he becomes vulnerable again. Not to mention that you can also prevent him from going underground by detonating as soon as he starts drilling through the floor.

[@khaosklub]

you don't even have to detonate it, it detonates automatically when he jumps either underground OR into the ceiling, and will stop him from getting in the dirt.

[@misterbadguy7325]

Also, it's a weakness that makes sense. I mean, it's the exact same logic as Drill Man and Dive Missile - Ground Man is big and tough, so explosives make sense, and he's constantly getting away from you, so a remote-detonated stickybomb is pretty near perfect.

I like your accent and your commentary is funny. I don't agree with all of it, but it's an enjoyable vid.

[@oatmeal0]

I honestly feel like the weakness score on Plug Man should be brought up a notch. An 8.3 IMO. The reason im saying this is because I feel that a lot of people don’t use Jewel Satellite properly on him. Most people equip the Satellite, and just walk up to him brainlessly. This is NOT it’s intended use for this fight. You block the Plug Balls, and fire it off AT A DISTANCE. A great weakness, but the only reason im giving it an 8.3 is because it doesn’t deal enough damage. Miss a single Jewel Satellite and you’re forced to finish Plug Man off with the Buster or another weapon. If you ever update this list with the Robot Master’s from 11 or even onward, be sure to keep this in mind. Other than that, great list. Very well researched and done.

[@Red_Biker_Dude]

A weakness should never do more than 4 damage, otherwise the fight becomes way too short.

[@MrWright]

Nico, did you know that you don't have to mash buttons when you're trapped inside Burst Man's bubbles? Just when you're about to touch the ceiling, slide. Yes, that's it, just slide and you will be completely unharmed.

[@wheatleythebrick2276]

That's actually super smart. If it was intentional, it's another point towards the notion of 7 being the game with the most love put into it.

[@atoz4399]

Hey Nico use the Rush Jet against Shadow Man. Then you can keep jumping and not using any energy as it only uses energy when standing on it. Stay in the air and keep shooting him. Stay on opposite side of the room from him. That's what I do.

[@Red_Biker_Dude]

He is mostly talking about the buster only fights

[@VestedUTuber]

Having used Toad Man in Mega Man Maker more often than any other robot master (since I primarily use him as a miniboss), I've figured out how to make his fight interesting. Pass-through platforms and water make the fight far more dynamic, since you kinda have to chase him to prevent him from using his acid rain attack. You can then increase the difficulty by using Mega Man 11 Acid Man water if you want to, since acid rain will acidify the water.

[@Deamons64]

15:09 I got that reference. You earned a sub good sir.

[@toryficarola]

Great list as always, although I agreed a bit more with your weapons ranking list. That was just PERFECT, if you ask me. Also, I just love the top 10 in this list of yours. You really put a loooooooot of thought and good MM playing experience/know-how into this, and it clearly shows. *thumbs up* I just love how you give props to the agregiously under-rated Freeze Man and Spring Man. ......And Slash Man too. God, I love the boss fights in 7. :D

[@Omegamewtew]

6:31 In Megaman for the Gamegear, Stone Man is actually faster, and uses the power stone attack more often.

[@No-vy4jp]

I find that that fight changes based on difficulty. On normal, I never actually saw him use power stone at all (he just jumped around like a psychopath and disassembled occasionally) but on hard, he used power stone relatively often and unlike in MM5, he could have multiple power stone attacks on screen at once.

(8:33) The player should be thanked, because of Toadman, the player knows who comes first in MM4 and RMW 4. And thanks to Toadman, the player is allowed to fight Brightman.

Ice man is an arctic exploration robot so he needs some sort of quick way to travel around

[@MythicMachina]

I really like the robot masters where the weakness feels like a mini puzzle. For example: Tengu Man's weakness being the Ice Wave. It makes an interesting fight where you gotta wait for just the right moment to hit him with his weakness. Similarly, I like how Gravity Man's weakness is the Star shield. It forces you to play chicken with the boss and position yourself just right whenever gravity switches so you can him. Fights like these have an interesting way for you to use the weakness that keeps the challenge of the boss fight. I appreciate that!

[@rassilontdavros3004]

I love how Tengu Man’s two fights were side-by-side.

(15:30) When the player is in the corner, Airman just atack to the other said instead atacking to the player side. To improve his difficulty, Airman should have jump against the player.

As much as I love Star Man (at least conceptually), I just love how you ripped into him being like a meager old man.

Star Crash beating Gravity Man accutely makes sense when you really think about it. Stars can only be found in space. And there's no gravity in space. How is Gravity Man going to control something, in a place where it doesn't exist? He can't. wich is why star crash makes sense for a weakness.

[@thetriplee6181]

Well, it doesn't matter if the weakness makes sense physically. It's cool if it does, but the main goal is for it to actually be a good weakness. So despite that it does matter of fact make sense, it still has no effect on the actual score of the weakness.

[@WildAscension]

@@thetriplee6181 But with Skull Man, he said that the idea of laying more dust on bones made sense. I mean sure it’s also a good weakness for him, but look at Star Crash to Gravity Man. The bullets Gravity Man shoot throughout the whole fight can be pretty annoying. That’s why we have Star Crash, to block the bullets. Plus it’s not bad for Star smacking him in the head when you flip around with him.

[@Krang100]

(13:11) Shadowman is a great Robot Master, despite he is the hardest Robot Master in MM3.

[@thetriplee6181]

It is completely RNG whether he throws his shadow blades or slides. What does this mean? Well, both attacks require a different strategy of avoiding so essentially, his attacks can only be dodges by luck. It's not fair difficulty. It is simply artificial.

[@Toxicrainboi]

I may just be dirty minded but I like how he put for number 69 he put flash man if you get it you get it

(17:35) Elecman is awesome, despite his high difficulty.

[@thetriplee6181]

If you dissect his boss, you can see that he has three spots he fires the Elec Beam. Therefore, if you prevent him from touching the spots, by using his knockback when you shoot him, well, he'll never fire the shots. He needed a more advanced AI to be able to not screw the boss effortlessly.

32:04 difficulty settings are great, especially if the higher settings give you something more if you're looking for a decent challenge or lower for those who just find the game too overwhelming.

I'd agree with magic and even burner man, but not search man imo. The bush he hides in is random and he can summon multiple spinning things, which is a pain for me.

Oddly enough, Burner Man is one of my favorite bosses to fight. And yes, with Mega Man with the uncharged buster. I personally found the fight quite exhilarating and never really had a problem with the traps. Yes, it was extremely hard, but really satisfying. I agree with Dynamo Man though.

[@blackpants7385]

He kinda sucks against slightly more complex paterns, I can see. He complains about not being able to stay close to Tengu Man because of Rornado Hold when you can easily react by his animation and either jump over, slide under, or slide away. Tengu Man even says which attack he's using.

[@uandresbrito5685]

@@blackpants7385 Agree on Tengu Man, although his weakness still sucks. But the Burner Man fight is not just a "complex pattern". The fight is really a mess with the room size, faulty weakness, trap spam and overall unavoidability of damage.

[@blackpants7385]

@@uandresbrito5685 Tengu Man's weakness doesn't really suck considering the damage it does and the fact that you can hit him twice in a row with it. Not only that, but it doesn't rob you of the buster I don't see what you mean by trap spam, he only has three out at most. Personally, I don't think a weakness not being free makes it bad, specially considering you'll always have Burner Man's weakness. It being harder to use is reasonable.

[@xagnarok3991]

shadow man is one of the hardest because, he have no pattern, that why I loved this boss. Metal man can be killed in 1 hit with is own weapon.

[@Red_Biker_Dude]

1. He has a pattern, jump 3 times, every jump has a random height, low, medium or high, after that he either shoots shadow blade or slides, then he repeats the pattern 2. It kills him in 2 hits
