the cream of the crop. great level design, fun weapons, memorable bosses, and probably the best OST in the series.

idc i grew up with it and it's charming to me. would be lower than 2 if the OST wasn't so fucking sick

OST is a bit weaker but game plays a lot better than 2 and is probably the most balanced of all the classic MM games (which isn't saying much, but it's still praise worth giving).

honestly a bit overrated by the fans but it has a killer OST. i dislike some of the boss design and level design though. airman is hugely annoying to fight even if he is fairly easy.

i remember next to nothing about this game. if i ever replay it or otherwise develop a stronger opinion on this thing i'll give it. past me was fairly positive on this game though so i'll trust their opinion.

this is the one with the rush fusion where you shoot out your fist right. that was cool. that is literally all i remember about this game.

i hate fighting like all the fucking robot masters in this game and some of the level design is outright mean without any real engagement or fun. good OST though

i don't hate this game as much as i used to but it feels like it's such a tepid and lame game. everyone complains about wily machine 7 but the rest of the game before that wasn't stellar either. some fun rm/level ideas, but both aren't executed as well as they could've been.

if anyone tells you there is any classic mega man game worse than this one they are either lying to you, have not played this game recently, or are devoid of taste. it has some outrageously shitty level design and beating the game without using the select trick is a huge pain in the ass. i say this as someone who beat the game only using the buster and magnet beam, you basically have to exploit certain bosses to consistently beat them. game sucks and is bad.
