Classic Mega Man Series Ranked

Will be updated as I go through the games. Will include the gameboy games too eventually.

Has my personal favorite bunch of special weapons so far in the series. I felt like for once in the series they were all useful. First time the charge shot was implemented and god I love that thing. Fun level design and Dr Cossack's castle is a lot better than those shitty doc robot stages in mega man 3. My favorite wily castle too and is topped off with a pretty awesome final battle theme.
This game seems to get a lot of neutral views towards it but it was good time going through it. The new Rush transformation abilities were so much fun and almost made it my favorite classic mega man so far. I really liked the aesthetic/art of all the levels. Once again I found myself using most if not all the special weapons in some form of fashion. Maybe the game is a bit too easy.
A classic NES game I always wanted to play when I went through my retro gaming phase in middle school. Felt good to finally play it. It was a huge improvement over the first game in every single way. I also never knew how OP the metal blades were until the very end of the game. Oops.
Coming soon
I don't really have much to say about this game. It was fine. Nothing really outstanding about it or awful about it. My most neutral mega man game so far. Okay stages and some special weapons I didn't like. Such as that stupid plunger one and whatever that rock weapon was. I mostly used the charge shot in this one during boss battles. Also there's a robot master called Napalm Man and his level is literally Vietnam.
Coming soon
Game runs like absolute shit. If there is more than two enemies on screen the game will chug hard. I was not a fan of the doc robot stages. I don't want to replay stages in a game I already found most of the stages boring in. I found almost all the special weapons to suck. My least favorite bunch of special weapons in the series. First game to include Rush which is nice. He's a good dog.
I know in recent times people seem to love this game. Perhaps I got "filtered" by it but it was not too much fun to play. Mega Man feels like shit to control and I'm not sure if it's because he feels like a walking tank or that he falls as fast as a speeding bullet. The stages and bosses are fine for the most part but the feel of the game makes it my least favorite in the series so far.
