    Mega Man 9

    Game » consists of 7 releases. Released Sep 22, 2008

    Mega Man returns to his roots in this deliberately retro side-scrolling platformer that simulates the style and simplicity of the first six Mega Man games.

    What's your plan of action?

    So, Mega Man 9 comes out tomorrow. Personally, I'm already thinking out my strategy for tomorrow, and I can't be the only one. So, what is your plan of action? Who do you think beats who?
    Personally, I'm going to tackle Tornado Man first. He just seems like the guy who should be my #1 target. After that, it will be Hornet Man, because I don't think hornets like tornadoes much. Next, it will be Magma Man, because I don't really know where to go next, followed by Jewel Man, because I think Magma would be a jewel's weakness, and then Concrete Man, for a Jewel could possibly be tougher then concrete. Next, with my plethora of weapons, I'll go after plug man, followed by Galaxy man, as some odd connection between the two is being made in my head. Plug man must beat Galaxy Man!
    Finally, I'll take on Splash Woman. I'm saving her for last, as I feel it is more polite to save a woman's beating for last. I have no idea what would best her, and actually, I'm probably stupid, as I'd bet her weapon would be a good one to start with.
    Anyways, what is your take? Also, if you somehow know the guide, make sure to warn everyone, as I know I don't want to read it.

    Splash Woman first, cus I don't like sloppy seconds. Then I'll go in a clockwise beating spree, or until I get frustrated and throw my controller at the wall.

    I'll try this first.

    1. Plug Man
    2. Splash Woman
    3. Magma Man
    4. Concrete Man
    5. Hornet Man
    6. Tornado Man
    7. Galaxy Man
    8. Jewel Man
    Just an educated guess, really.  I'm likely wrong.

    When is this supposed to be coming out on both Xbox Live and PSN?  Does anyone know anything about the differences between the two versions?

    They are all the same, but the release dates are different. The Wii version comes out tomorrow, for PS3 next week, and 360 the week after that.

    There will be sublte resolution differences. The Wii will have the most pure, NES like graphics, others will be smoother.

    I know that the game has an option to enable frame rate lag and clipping issues, just like the old games.  I know that sounds stupid to this newer generation of gamers, but for both nostalgia and glitching purposes, that shit's awesome!!!

    As for order...dood:

    Splash Woman > Magma Man (obviously)
    Splash Woman > Hornet Man (because in case you didn't know, hornets fucking hate water)
    Splash Woman > Concrete Man (because what do you mix concrete with?)
    Splash Woman > Plug Man (because unless they mean "butt plug", I'm assuming it's electric, and what happens with water and electricity?)

    So right there alone takes out four of the seven leftovers.

    Splash Woman first.  Then go in that order.  After that:

    Jewel Man (using Concrete and/or Magma Man's powers)
    Tornado Man (using Hornet and/or Splash Woman's powers)
    Galaxy Man (using fuck knows what, because how do you beat a galaxy?!  lol  plug it up, I guess?!)

    Aside from the achievements in the Xbox Live version, probably nothing too subtle.

    I know, that is why I think I am such an idiot. Splash Woman seems like the one who beats all, but I feel for my first play, she must come last, as her presence is monumental.

    Tornado Man and Hornet Man both look like good places to start. Don't ask me why, they just do. And I'm pretty sure I'll leave Jewel Man for last. He seems to be the hardest of them all.

    I'm going to go after paper man first.  Then I'll use his power against rock man, and after that I'll go after scissors man.  Or I'll just patiently wait for the 360 release while I play Duke Nukem 3D. ; )

    Wasn't there an actual rock man?  If not yet, I'm sure there will be one by the time Mega Man 17 rolls around.

    I think I'm in the same boat as BoG, in the fact that I'll leave Splash Woman for last. Gotta give her time to prepare and all.

    I'll probably go for Plug Man first, because he sounds like a wimpy boss (it's how I chose my perfect order in Megaman X. The Penguin looked like a wimp, turned out he was a wimp), and from there it'll go to Concrete, to Tornado, to Hornet, to Magma, to Jewel, and then finally to Galaxy.

    Oh yeah, in Japan.  I forgot all about that, but I guess that's why I knew I'd heard something about Rock Man before.  Hahaha.

    I'll make sure she knows when I'm coming. There was confusion over when I was supposed to pick up my prom date, and that was ugly.

    Ok, so here is how it has gone for me so far *SPOILERS*

    I did end up taking Tornado Man first. His stage was great, I actually got an achievement for quick finish once I mastered it. After multiple deaths, I finally beat tornado man. I went on to Hornet Man as planned, but his stage proved to be intensely frustrating, mostly due to that stupid flower mini boss. I skipped him and tried Galaxy Man, who was EASY AS CAKE. He took a while, as I didn't have his weakness, but patience won in the end. I went back to Hornet Man for another go. I finally mastered most of the stage, and after a ton of game overs, beat him. Tornado Blow wasn't his weakness, but it helped out a ton, as it blew the bees away. Next I took on Magma Man, who's weakness turned out to be Tornado Blow. When you use it, his attack becomes very weak, and he loses all defense. Worth noting, his stage is intimidating.
    Next, it was off to Jewel Man. TONS of game overs on this stage, probably the second most on any stage. I'm pretty sure his weakness was the black hole bomb, at least that is how I beat him. I then moved on to plug man, which was perfect, because his weakness was jewel sattelite.  Of course, I DIED when he was almost dead, and I rand out of jewel sattelite. I had an E tank, so I just muscled my way to victory.
    After that, it was concrete man, and overall, that wasn't too tough. I don't think it was his weakness, but the hornets seemed to do decent damage.
    I'm now on Splash, and I can't get past this one screen.
    Anyways, just thought I'd say nothing worked as planned. Oh well.

    SPOILERS

    I beat Splash Woman first and then I did Galaxy Man's stage and the boss without losing a single life. Those two stages are pretty
    easy. Then I went after Concrete Man and despite the hard stage the boss battle turned out to be quite easy because of Splash Woman's weapon. I reached Plug Man and Tornado Man too but I was not able to beat them. :(

    I tackled Splash Woman's stage first.  I actually ended up spending bolts to buy an energy tank so I could defeat her, but I didn't find her to be too difficult.

    (And though I found this out after the fact, her weakness is actually the last thing I would have expected.)
