I like how Metal Man is punching himself in the face, as his own Metal Blades wipe him out in the rematch.  Poor Quick Man's bombarded by two guys (without having a chance to use his Quick Boomerangs)...weird 'cause I always used Flash Stopper and then Air Shooter.  Remembering a Newgrounds animation of Mega Man Vs. Quick Man, I guess I should've known Crash Bombs should work too...



I didn't realize Top Man would also be weak against Magnet Missiles...usually a few Hard Knuckles is more than enough anyway.  And I usually used Shadow Blades against Snake Man for some reason.

Yeah, Mega Man 2 doesn't have a perfect weakness ring, so it could be better to show dual weapons against some bosses or something like that.  QuickMan should at least get to use his boomerangs against MetalMan.

Mega Man 4 now up:

Not as good as the others, IMO.

It's not that bad. It gets a lot of bonus points for featuring both Roll and Murray the invincible demonic skull!

I'm interested in seeing MM5, considering how most of the weaknesses seem rather illogical (Crystal -> Napalm? seriously?).

Yeah, the crystal ball plugs up that tube on top of NapalmMan's head.

I've always loved Makotron's artwork when he did Transformers stuff, and I'm glad to see that he's finally getting paid for his work (something he used to lament about on Transformers forums). He's always extremely on model while still giving characters a lot of personality.



It's just too bad that in this case, it's only the Robot Masters that appeared on Nintendo systems, so the Mega Man 8 cast is absent (as well as Megaman and Bass' for that matter). I've always liked their new aesthetics.

Beat me to it.  I thought that the Robot Master count looked a little low...



Nice piece of work though.
