Mega Man Star Force: A Stellar New Beginning

[@BreezeOfOnett]

Mega Man Battle Network and Star Force deserved every ounce of love that they get. Personally, I love battle network more but, Star Force is a worthy successor. Props to you monger for giving light on how these games are quite a blast.

[@aerth6946]

This, exactly.

[@marcosdheleno]

star force was 2 steps foward 1 step back, while the characters and story had a better flow, and the graphics were much better, the combat was just blander(for me). it felt far more simplistic and less fun. the 1 lane just didnt give the same overall versatility BN had. i dont think its an easier game, but i do think the combat has less depth. it needed much more to be as fun to play. the sad part is, i actually loved the whole zorro thing it had going, with the mc being a super hero, instead of just a cellphone carrier. but that combat...

[@rogue1248]

Design wise, I really prefer Star Force MegaMan a whole lot better, especially when he got an upgrade in 3 boy he looked like a BADASS and he's only in 5th Grade.

I don’t think they should at all. I don’t think a complete 3DS game will cut it, like current Nintendo games. This is the type of formula that works best in a 2d mechanic and with some 3D. An all 3d mega man game doesn’t seem like it’ll create the nostalgia, since most games if not all Nintendo games are 3DS

[@ntrotter1166]

What I loved about Starforce is how much each one improves on the last. BN was great, but the improvements were way less consistent.

[@shawnjavery]

Gameplay wise I agree, but one had the beat story. Two went into Saturday morning cartoon a bit too much for my taste, although I do enjoy the twists and turns of the second half. Three also has similar problems, with it mostly being used to tie up the loose ends of the story.

[@theniteowl7777]

thats not true at all

[@eLleSnDee]

Geo (and Omega) was my Megaman. I only really enjoyed the OG and X series causally as the "hard but fun video games my uncle keeps letting me borrow", but having discovered the first Starforce game during a certain period of my teenage life, its story and characters really captivated me. Whenever I remember the series these days, I still get super bummed that it was basically cut short. P.S. Omega is true best girl, but Sonia and Luna are close seconds

[@mayborneflower]

35:10 - Actually they do actually meet again. Similarly to BN4 and Boktai 2, Lunar Knights has a crossover scenario with Star Force that takes place after Star Force’s half of the crossover. Long story short. Omega-Xis and a re-revived Taurus end up in the Boktai world. Omega-Xis is stuck with the Lunar Knights guys, severely gimped without Geo around, while Taurus becomes Taurus Fire (something all the FM-ians can just do after dying and coming back) and starts a conquest with the local monster hordes. Eventually Geo gets to cross between worlds to wave change right as Taurus (rendered otherwise untouchable because of the wave roads) reaches his peak power… and Taurus gets slaughtered in under 15 seconds with just the buster. The good guys all leave happy, roll credits.

[@KaitouKaiju]

Lunar Knights is a great example of taking a cool series and utterly ruining the reboot

[@GG256_]

Is it good? I love battle network, especially 1-5. Would you recommend? The combat obviously looks like it lacks that timeless top down 2d sprites in a 4d space feel, but I could probably adjust.

[@GroundThing]

@@GG256_ I'd recommend it, but from what I remember (haven't played it in a while) the battle system did feel a little lacking compared to BN, and it was a bit too easy (though the DX patch seems like it could fix that). On the whole I still enjoyed it enough to buy all 3 games, even as I was buying games less and less.

[@TheUltimaGhost]

I think they finally got the gameplay right with Starforce3. It's pretty much on par with the best BN

[@TheDragonfriday]

[@IvyBrooksHobkin]

@@GG256_ I enjoy it, but as stated in the video, go for the Dx version

34:45 - What’s neat here is that the difficulty is warranted. In the second game, Sonia straight-up implies that this guy is somewhere around the AM Sage-Andromeda ballpark of power from meeting him on her own. Oh… and there’s someone under his employer even stronger than he is. But that’s its own story. Looking forward to Monger’s retrospective.

This is the best video related to Mega Man Star Force on KZbin, excellent job. This is such a special game and there's so much to say about even beyond whats covered here but you more than got the point across and I finally feel like the series is in decent enough hands fanbase wise, I used to vouch for these games wherever I could as for quite a bit they were either slept on or just harshly scrutinized by people who I could tell either approached them with some form of bias(This isn't Battle Network crowd, or the It's not a real Mega Man game crowd) or just wrote them off entirely. The entire series is underrated yes but the first game was THE video game even I someone who isn't really a content creator wanted to make something for, while the drive isn't quite what it used to be it's still one of my all time favorites and I hope I can pay proper tribute to it someday. With people like you around it's safe to say I wasn't crazy for liking it so much, and that I can pass the torch and relax, feels great. Don't want to spoil much but while he'll always be a meathead, Bud will get more growth down the line and ngl Prez/Luna is my preference between the two heroines, she's so misunderstood but you didn't dismiss her and I'm grateful. While I doubt we'll ever see Star Force 4 again, I do hope that at least one day we'll see Star Force's Mega Man get to team up with and/or trade blows with Ryu and other Capcom legends in one of their iconic crossover fighting games, His potential is absolutely insane and he's just begging to be brought into the genre.

[@revanmega15]

I’ve played all the battle networks before i played starforce. I remember when I got it the day it came out i was already hooked and loved the game. All megaman gameboy and ds games are under rated.

I started Megaman Starforce from the anime. The moment I saw Geo and Omega-Xis, I was...enamored. I really felt so much for Geo that I wanted to see his story. I preordered Starforce Pegasus and bought every subsequent game. And honestly, I feel it deserved far better. Starforce will always remain my most favorite Megaman series, and Geo and Omega-Xis as the best Megaman.

19:36 I can't really relate because I went to special ed private schools for middle school.

"You see Mr. Kaiba, it's the added dairy that makes it _truly_ American."

[@pigifi]

At first I was freaking out that I somehow missed a compilation remake like Battle Network 5's Double Team DS when you talked about Starforce DX. And then I found out it is a mod for a DS emulated version. Also, the reason for the "lack of popularity" for the Boktai series at 35:17 is due to a second, more deadly aspect. One of the main gimmicks of the Boktai series is that the MC's gun is recharged with ACTUAL sunlight from the real world via solar sensors that detect the bright lights. Problem is, this is effectively making players go outside to get fried by summer heat, as most normal lights cannot fool the sensors. This caused major health problems like heatstroke and killed a huge chunk of potential playtime, resulting in its decline.

[@rogue1248]

honestly, it would have been more preferred to have the game get in game sun energy instead of trying to get one via the sensor.

[@Haseo135]

If I'm being completely honest I love Battle Network to death, but I actually love Star Force even more! It took everything I loved about BN and just elevated it imo. Better combat, better sound, writing and characters. With the pinnacle being Star Force 3. Now that we have the Battle Network collection I'm hoping Capcom will eventually give us a Star Force collection.

[@SharkWitchMeruna]

Luna is my absolute favorite character in the entirety of MegaMan. She's so misunderstood and I relate to her arc of never being enough to her parents so much. Its a shame we never got SF4 but at least we have the MMSF Endwave fangame which is the closest we'll get.

[@dawnson1a]

Amazing video. Starforce is easily my favorite Megaman series and the first game is my favorite game of all time. It’s got flaws but the story it tells was super impactful for me when I was younger. Mental illness being tackled in a game like this is really cool, and every arc was really great with character building and all that. My favorites are Sonia’s arc and Gemini’s arc. Sonia is my favorite character, and I just loved her interactions with Geo. I could go on and on about what I love about the series but yeah, it’s omega underrated and I’m glad it’s been getting looked at again after so many years.

I think those reviewers are entitled to their opinion but the sameness of Mega Man RPGs is hardly a criticism that's levied at Pokemon. I often criticize sequels for not doing enough to differentiate themselves from the original leading to diminishing returns but I apply that standard consistently. I think the poor reviews of Mega Man RPGs after Battle Network 3 have more to do with series fatigue (an entry every year) than the quality of any given title. An aspect of Mega Man RPGs that's often overlooked in reviews is the multiplayer which I believe add a lot of value to every game.

That's odd if you come from SF1. Sonia has her whole "I quit/my music is my own" and then when you see her in SF2 she's doing the exact opposite from what her quest was about. Also, SF2 dumps all the character development and just resets them. It's the main reason SF2 is disliked compared to SF1 or SF3.

Starforce was what got me into Megaman and I see it for what it was, as a standalone that couldn't be compared. I've seen it said once that due to the story and mechanics evolving too quickly it failed to stay for the long future and in a way I agree. However if there were someone to put the effort into reviving this particular part of the franchise I would wholeheartedly give my financial support.

[@keigonukina2571]

this game was so underrated for no reason. i remember playing megaman starforce pegasus, and instantly became in love with this rebirth series following up with starforce 2, and finally red joker. seeing this on my timeline just brought back so much nostalgia and im so happy to see how left some sort of legacy to the community

[@train4292]

Brilliant Starforce video sir! Your experience with the game pretty much mirrored mine. I knew of the series, but never dived into it, and after i marathoned the entire BN saga, i set my sights on this series. I didn't know what to expect from this game, but i was BLOWN AWAY by it. The story, gameplay, general feel of it all, it was something special off the bat, and despite not knowing much about it a few months ago, it skyrocketed to one of my favorite MegaMan series. Can't wait to see the SF2 and SF3 videos soon!

[@raequizzle9713]

I’m so glad to see more people talking about Starforce and bringing spotlight onto my favorite Megaman series. Thanks for this video, I look forward to your next videos! Fingers crossed someday for a legacy collection of Starforce or dare I say even a Starforce 4 🤞🏽

[@EmperorDazmon]

I love seeing any starforce content especially here in 2021. Really miss this series fondly and just recently finished replaying MMSF3. Such a shame that 4 was dropped during development - those reviews definitely weren’t fair!

[@PlatformChef]

Mega Man Starforce is my favorite Mega Man series. I love the gameplay and stories of these games. I'm glad you are reviewing this series of games and I am looking forward to seeing the other two reviews of Mega Man Starforce.

[@Steleaf]

LES GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I was seeing your VODs through this, I wanna see your review!

[@infern209x]

thank you so much for giving my favorite game series of all time and favorite megaman series some love. megaman starforce is complete epicness.

[@iantaran2843]

Honestly these games, the battle network games and weird enough Digimon World 3 kinda hold the same spot of love in my brain all weirdly similar to Pokemon games that really REALLY do their own thing and honestly make themselves much, much more fun.

if you look in all the PETs in the junkyard while they're all all grey except for one. it's that familiar heroic blue that we all know and love. i noticed that when i first played the game as a kid and cried

[@TheEcoolarg]

Heck yes been waiting for this, I know the game is literally full of awesome games(with metroid dread literally still hot) but my god your playthrough of 1 and 2 and im hype for the 3 also: CROWN THUNDER SUPREMACY! too bad most people will choose black ace and miss his noise change ps:mangakamen just had a video about starforce 1 too o.o odd but atleaest you guys share good taste

[@Animemus]

I still question why there would still be a piles of Link PET_EX in a junkyard 200 years after Battle Network. I know the Transer was the PET’s successor, but there weren’t any newer PET models after two centuries?

[@lavuntecolquitt]

Was an GLORIOUS mega video as usual bro. You NEVER miss and with you all the way. Keep up the great work and cant wait for the next installment

It is a crime that Starforce got negative reviews from people who don't even know what they dislike about it. I now see it was a miracle it even had 3 games at the time, and I am glad it did

[@kelc-1373]

The 200 year timeline gap is something that I don’t think gets enough appreciation. It is so COOL to see how the technological advancements of scientists like Lan Hikari in 200X are referenced in Starforce 200 years later. Games like these helped to turn me into an overall optimist for humanity from an early age. Imagine how much more advanced we could possibly be in the 2200s! Technology is exponentially evolving (much faster than the last century and even the last decade). We will surely have our own set of problems in the future, but hopefully we’ll put this increasingly advancing technology to good use. Regardless, our species is in for some interesting times.
