The Basics on Style Change - Mega Man

The style change full of possibilities. It's a design choice that reflects how you play the game and offers you plenty of uniqueness. Sometimes though, you just want to know how to get a particular style, so here I'll cover how to get them all and what they all do. Hopefully you can find the style that matches how you play the game, or just looks like a fun thing to try out.

[@megatroidvania9285]

me only getting Shield Style in BN2: "Wait there are other styles?"

[@RockmanHQ]

Nope, I lied. Only shield.

[@omegahaxors3306]

Me never bugging Mega because it seemed like it caused them physical pain: "Bug style?"

[@ryandavis9898]

Guts and sheild style :(

[@Classic236]

A little help for those that have a Wood Style Change Have a Area Grab as a regular chip, i recomend more a Area Grab * and use it any time and moment

[@gabrieltejada1697]

Yup and even the wood version of bug style can counter the negative HP drain that sometimes happens in battles when you use the grass stage / undershot combo with wood.

[@fireflocs]

I know Team Style doesn't sound like anything special, but is it SO STRONG in Battle Network 2. You know what it's like having eight Toadman chips in your folder in that game? Eight time-stopping, homing, stunning attacks that deal 100 damage minimum, and all with the same code. You're basically a steamroller. Especially if you throw in an IceStage or IceLine chip, since they're Elec element. Don't sleep on Team Style.

[@nnickplays9713]

I dont think i ever got Hub Style, thats pretty cool! I think AquaShield was my style back when i played. Thank you for the video!

[@fainthewanderer4060]

Same, I think it's because the conditions to get it is pretty difficult. We have to get Busting Level S every V3 Navi which is a post-game content

[@fainthewanderer4060]

I've been learning about Style Change system for this past few weeks and your video convince me even more that the Style Change is not only exclusive to MegaMan.EXE. This means that any Net Navi can also learn to do Style Change even if we never saw it in-game. It's a pretty cool detail because even Lan's dad said in Mega Man Network Transmission that he believes fighting styles must be changed to fit the situation or else society will be unable to defeat new viruses. Lore-wise it's completely makes sense as to balance the world of Net Navi. God, I love Battle Network worldbuilding!

[@RockmanHQ]

That one random NPC did so much to expand it.

[@RedOphiuchus]

I'm currently playing through 2 and got Heatcust and Eleccust and was kinda like, "huh, I wonder what other styles there are that I'm missing." Not gonna stop using 4 or 5 battle chips a turn though. Honestly it's interesting how there's kind of a cascade effect. Once you unlock cust style for instance, the extra battle chips allow you and incentivize you to continue using multiple chips every turn which means there's a good chance your next style is also going to be cust.

[@itzyaboicloud8735]

BN2 HeatCustom all the way. BN3 I played White version so I had ground style then later changed to Elec Custom. Icestage and FlashMan Chips with Bolt were too good.

[@megamanblack4309]

7:30 I don't know why, but seeing normal element MegaMan as the different styles is fascinating. I still wish I could see Gregar crosses as Falzar beast out & vice versa!

[@RockmanHQ]

Erase/Killer Faltzar would be nightmare fuel. I need it.

[@omegahaxors3306]

Guts style was really good once you learned that spamming machine gun was regressive to your performance. Instead, use the machine gun as a defensive option; flinching your opponent to prevent damage to yourself. Otherwise you want to be tapping your buster to a rhythm so you can maximize your 10 damage shots. If your opponent was at low health you could also use the machine gun as an very reliable finisher.

[@RupeeClock]

A couple of errors I noticed in the video. 1. Custom style S-rank rewards in BN3 prohibit the use of Navi chips, not screen-dimming chips. This means that using AreaGrab *, GrassStg *, and Meteors R is legal for getting exclusive chip drops. 2. FlotShoe does not protect you from Swamp (poison) panels, there is no defense against those panels other than removing them through effects of battle.

[@carlzerris6566]

Style change has the nostalgia value but otherwise i deffo preferred the form systems from 4,5 and 6 (i know 6 is slightly different). Being able to switch when you want in battle is just better imo

[@roaringthunder8069]

Man i honestly wish cust style never existed. Its so efficient that honestly theres no reason to consider getting another.

[@dennye9120]

Will you cover Starforce forms as well at some point? Its difficult to find anything about them showcasing all the combinations in a video.

[@RockmanHQ]

Absolutely. It's on my list to do. I just need to find how to brake them down as I don't want all my videos to end up being 20+ mins.i have a few in the works right now that should be short, more BN stuff, but then I have Starforce lined up.

[@dennye9120]

@@RockmanHQ Alright, maybe you can do a short showcase vid just showing the major forms like the tribe combos and some basic noise forms instead of every minor color change

[@lRealRed]

I traded SetLava over from white. Fire custom style in Mayl's PC to instantly win most fights. That's my strat for grinding chips to dump into the post-game trader for exclusives.

[@legacy1q297]

Hub Style in the manga was a problem 💯💯

[@megaman.exexyz8141]

I did exactly what you said to get guts style, your suppose to have a full custom gauge and your suppose to use the buster a lot and when the cutscene appear you will achieve the guts style ability, so I did it and still no luck

[@RockmanHQ]

Are you using Buster MAX mode? There's reports that it clashes with some requirements with shield and not taking damage. Selecting chips from the get go also works up custom.

[@megaman.exexyz8141]

@@RockmanHQ Good news, Finally got guts style and not only that I got aqua style, looks like that buster trick worked after all😁

[@megaman.exexyz8141]

@@RockmanHQso for Custom Style do you select multiple chips and then after that you select add for a chance to use a program advance or add the program advance to the add function? Example: Sword A, WideSword A, LongSword A, and go select add function

[@RockmanHQ]

@@megaman.exexyz8141 Using PA's helps build towards it, as does taking multiple chips in the same turn. Using add also helps. If you have a PA, I say use it. Other wise if you are struggling to get it, use Add every battle and take as much in as you can the next turn.

[@megaman.exexyz8141]

@@RockmanHQ Already I have 4 P.A.’s so will that help if use it multiple times in battles?

[@PhantomDR]

Don't know if you see or check the reaction on the other comment so let's make a new one just in case I got wood custom as my first with I might have only equipped and fought a handful of times with that, for the rest I was just default mega I assume I need 2 have the style on for it to level up atleast or did i mess-up by using it in a couple battles? Regardless guess I will just keep fighting today but equip wood cust. To see what happens when i reach 50 orso battles, assuming it's not already lv3 orzo😅

[@PhantomDR]

Yup seemed I screwed myself I got lv2 cust. and choose new style so I should be getting shadow style when I reach 100 battles again now....

[@WhoisVonnn]

Does this happen in battle network 1 as well?

[@RockmanHQ]

No, it starts in 2.

[@PhantomDR]

I am trying to get shadow style in BN3 Blue (legacy PS4/5) But it wont pop for some reason, Am i doing something wrong? I just spend 2 hour's orso trying to force it by fighting in ACDC 1, i ended up getting 104 chip drops and probably was at 140ish total battles while constantly using Invis * as my default chip and then using charge shots to defeat enemies while invis was active

[@PhantomDR]

Story progress wise Drillman just grabbed Alphas data

[@RockmanHQ]

You might be currently leveling your current style rather than searching for a new one. Unfortunately, it's triggered when you get the style if you want to advance it or search for a new one.

[@PhantomDR]

@RockmanHQ I don't have the wood custom style equipped currently nor have I had it on the entirely since getting it

[@PhantomDR]

@RockmanHQ I assume atleast if I don't equip it it won't level up

[@robertreck431]

@@PhantomDR I assume it doesn't matter. When you get the style and Dr. Hikari asks, "Would you like to improve this style or find another?" your choice locks you in no matter what you do next (that is, once you choose to level up a style, you must level it up to max before you can find a new one; and which point you are bound to get a new one at the next check, and Lan will expressly say it's time to try something else)

[@thevoyagingcreator]

Does anyone else wish styles and elements were separated?

[@NyxTheScary]

I got fire guts right before Bubble Man in BN3. Was hell

[@RockmanHQ]

Oof, that sounds rough. I'd just go back to normal for that fight

[@jjfrenzy789]

Why did they make all of these so hard to get? And why only two in one game!

[@fainthewanderer4060]

Hard to get? I don't think so. Keep only two style? That's my major complaint. I get salty everytime I watch the Rockman EXE anime becaude MegaMan can have many style change as varies as possible for many times

[@ManjesticBeard]

In mmbn2 I’m only getting shield mode when trying to get guts I don’t even select chips it’s mad annoying now I’m attempting it with no healing chips in my folder

[@RockmanHQ]

Don't use Buster Max if you are. You want alot of shots.

[@ManjesticBeard]

@@RockmanHQ ugh getting all the styles to trigger for trophies is such a slog. Thanks I’ll try that since I typically have it on for grinding. I’ll just go grind in the starting area I guess.

[@ManjesticBeard]

I don’t get this game and style change is filling me with rage. I just spent 2.5 hours trying to grind a new style custom even made a folder where I could select 5 chips every time and I even used them and I got shield style. Style change is poorly made and trash.

[@RockmanHQ]

@@ManjesticBeard Take a hit during the battles? Using the ADD function works with getting custom, as well as making program advances.

[@joltexe24]

I'm curious, is gutstyle affected by BusterMax in the legacy collection?

[@Pwrplus5]

Guts style doubles your current power stat and buster max is a flat 100x multiplier to that, so a fully powered up buster in BN2 will indeed do 1000 damage with buster max guts. It doesn't affect charge shots though

[@joltexe24]

@@Pwrplus5 that's insane, that must make gutstyle the most powerful style Chang in both Bn2 and Bn3

[@chrisclifton192]

@@joltexe24 In BN2 no, bc Hubstyle exists and gives you ALL of the style change boosts. In 3, probably though. Good luck getting Guts Style tho. I have tried to get another style while using buster max and I just keep cycling through the various Shield styles. You get major points toward shield for not getting hit. And everything else gives you like 1 point toward that style, save for charge shots which I think give you 5?

[@fainthewanderer4060]

@@chrisclifton192 Why would it be harder? The way to get Guts style is pretty simple, right? Use Mega Buster for the majority of time

[@chrisclifton192]

@@fainthewanderer4060 because not getting hit gives you like 10 points toward shield style. So waxing everything without taking damage basically ensures you get it. You could just, fight and make sure to get hit each battle. But that is a chore to do lol.
