I've been getting my battle network fix with One Step From Eden lately. The combat is very obviously inspired by Battle Network. By the way, a concussions primary treatment is increased rest and sleep
Great Video. can't wait to see more. Really liking your editing style, plus the VO is crisp. Side note: I swear I watched when it 1st released, but for some reason TH-cam says i haven't watched it?
The video has been pretty good so far, but there are a few things I’d like to clarify about Style Change. So it’s actually not completely random, it bases on how you play the game to give you a style that benefits how you like to play: - Guts Style is gained by using the Megabuster the most in battles. It grants the user +5 to their Buster’s attack but decreases its speed to 1. Also it also grants SuperArmor (aka Megaman won’t flinch when hit, which is crazy useful when grinding for S Ranks) - Custom Style is gained by using the Add Feature in the Custom Window, using PA’s and taking as many chips as possible from the Custom screen. It grants the user the ability to choose from 7 chips on the Custom Screen instead of 5. - Team Style is gained by using Navi chips the most in battle. It grants the user the ability to use Extra Navi chips in your folder (up to 8) - Shield Style is gained by using defensive chips, like Barriers and Invis. It grants the user a Barrier at the start of every battle and a Shield that can be used by hitting Left+B. - HubStyle can only be obtained once in the game by S ranking all the V3 versions of the bosses and talking to a girl that shows up in ACDC after you beat Gospel. This style will never have an Element but gains enhanced benefits of all other styles: - Your Buster’s Attack stat is always at 10 - You get 10 chips to choose from in the Custom window. - You can put up to 8 Navi chips in your Folder - You always start every battle with a Barrier. - You have SuperArmor (aka won’t flinch and won’t lose your charge shot) - You have a Shield you can trigger by using Left+B. - But the cost is your HP is cut in half when using it as Megaman is now fully in sync with Lan and so the damage Megaman takes, Lan also takes. Now while the Style itself is not random, it seems that the Element is, but for that, each Element gets its own unique Charge shot that gets stronger every time you upgrade that Style: - Heat Style gets the Heat Cannon. It burns 3 panels down the column Megaman’s standing on for 50-100 damage. - Aqua Style gets the Bubbler Blaster so it will hit whatever enemy or obstacle is in front of Megaman and the panel behind it as well for 30-50 damage. - ElecStyle gets the ZapRing shooting down the column Megaman’s on, which while the weakest, does Paralyze the Opponent for a few seconds doing from 10-30 damage - WoodStyle has the Tornado Blaster which the range is limited (it only hits 2 panels in front of Megaman) to compensate for the insane damage it can rack up hitting 8 times on the panel for 10-20 damage per hit becoming 80-160 possible total damage. Also you cannot get the same style or Element that you already have, so after 280 battles you will see a different Style change. The system is upgraded some in BN3 for more customization, but it still does benefit a lot in BN2 Also it should be reminded that both Lan and Chaud are noted to be exceptional Netbattlers so they are able to face threats that most Navi’s would be deleted by in seconds. Megaman also is a very unique Navi that has the potential to be stronger than most other Navi’s, and as such somethings like ShadowMan being able to delete an entire nation and make their Internet systems go down being deleted by Megaman isn’t crazy, it’s more that some of the story boss fights are designed to make them easy enough that kids aren’t getting beaten down by the boss pulling crazy auto-death moves… although ShadowMan specifically does have an auto kill move if he can hit you with it with the Muramasa - which can do damage equal to the difference between his original and current LP, and since his LP is usually higher than Megaman’s for most fights. Just a few explanations there for ya!
@@WesDoesGames Not a problem =) I am going through 100%’ing all the BN and SF games so I’ve had to learn a good bit about them… and at the same time, the game doesn’t really explain how Style Change properly works so it’s understandable if you didn’t look it up to assume they are just completely random. The games do have issues of not explaining mechanics the best (I swear, when I was a kid I never understood the Navi Customizer until I recently played through it and spent time learning it. The game does explain it, but kinda badly in 3…)
That title perfectly sums up my feelings about this game. This game has some of the worst game design that I've ever experienced, but I still love the series.
Cool Review, Wes! just wanted to point out that the title of the video has a small typo, it says "MegaMam" instead of "MegaMan" can't wait to see what you'll upload next :p
This was a fun deep dive. I've not jumped into this series much but the collection being available, and a lot of what was said here, makes me pretty interested.
Hey you! Click this magical mystical link for a wonderful surprise:

Haven't played Elden Ring but I'm surprised to hear a connection with Battle Network of all things 🧐

Thanks friend, I appreciate it! Yeah I had to re-upload it due to an error. Now I've probably ruined it's chance with the algorithm but oh well 😅

Thanks for the detailed response, you definitely know your stuff! 😅

It's a really solid collection! These games are super addictive and fun
