MegaMan 9 is evil... · 11:53pm Dec 23rd, 2015
(curled up in the fetal position)
Why are there spikes on the wall I need to jump towards?
Why do the platforms keep disappearing on me before I get chance to jump on or off of them?
Why are there enemies coming out of the pits?
Why is there an achievement demanding I complete the game in under AN HOUR, and without taking a SINGLE hit throughout?
Why doesn't the power-up that's meant to protect me from spikes not working?
Why am I suddenly deciding to cancel all my other animation ideas?
Well, I can at least answer that last question.
Because I'm tearing that MegaMan 9 game a brand new hole. Unique will be mocking the damn god-awful infuriating blue prick next month. Hope you're not a fan of MegaMan, because I don't know how ugly the animation will get after my painful ordeal with the game.
Also, WHY DO I HAVE TO RESTART WILY'S FORTRESS ALL OVER AGAIN AFTER RUNNING OUT OF CONTINUES!?! AAAAAAAAAAARGH!
*pats you on the head* there there.
Mega Man X6 blows the pants off 9 in terms of stupidity in my eyes. I have yet to complete either of them, and X7 is such a bloody infection-ridden stump of a game that I've stopped playing it altogether. However, I agree that 9 is phantasmagorically hard.
3641780 It's not just the game. It's the psychological aspect too. I mean, how am I supposed to get the achievement demanding I beat the game in an hour? I mean, yes I understand that that challenge requires a level of skill, I'm fine with that. The stages aren't long themselves and with the right weapons the bosses go down no problem. But then there's the achievements for never picking up items dropped by enemies and the one for never getting hit at all in one run.
Enemies that appear in tight areas might drop an item and force you to wait for the damn thing to disappear, or you might accidentally kill an enemy and get the drop by mistake. And good effing luck trying to do a No Damage playthrough because the only person ever to do that was Jesus himself.
I mean, I know I don't have to get the achievements, but for the completionists out there it must be absolutely brutal on their souls.
3641819 I couldn't do it. But there are people who have, I'm sure. I can beat MM5 in 50 minutes casually, give or take, so, given enough practice, the time limit isn't a big deal. It's the no items thing that would kill me.
3642047 It's the spikes that annoy me most of all. I mean, does Wily have a rocking throbbing massive spunk-filled hard on for sharp pointy traps in his castle or something?

Wouldn't surprise me. He's had them in spades since the beginning. I haven't made it past the eight bosses yet, so it's possible.
