Introduction

Hello there, and welcome to the Megaman: Megabuster Challenge event thread! In this challenge, you are all free to play any sort of megaman games, with just one catch - you are ONLY allowed to use your megabuster! Yes, only your megabuster - from defeating enemies, to defeating robot or navi bosses, you must only use your megabuster to complete everything because Dr. Light forgot to give you spare equipment and Lan spend all his zenny on food instead of battle chips, etc.​

I would do this, but there is a slight problem. A few bosses in Mega Man are immune to the Mega Buster (i.e.: MM1 Yellow Devil, MM2 Wily 3) and some areas require you to use certain items to advance
(i.e.: Super Arm in Elec Man. Super Arm, Electro Beam and Magnet Beam in Wily 1 (MM1).
Item-1 and Item-3 in Wily 1. Item-2 in Wily 2 (MM2).
Rush Jet in Needle Man (Doc. Robot, MM3). Rush Coil in Spark Man (Doc. Robot, MM3) I can go on for ages, but I just don't feel like bombarding you (see what I did thar?) with every problem. Anyway, I would like to join, but I'm really not sure what to do since Mega Man 1's Yellow Devil is immune to the Mega Buster. Thanks.

Eh, I'd honestly say stick to a game on where it's entirely possible to clear the game with the megabuster only, but if you insist, and if the game absolutely-requires-you to do something else, then go ahead! But only if megabusters won't let you advance, is the only exception. Otherwise, of course, still only use the megabuster for the majority of the game.

/apologizes for my bad english but yeah

Might do other games after I finish these hehe

(P.S. As UltraNerdtendo mentioned, certain areas in the originals require you to use something other than the buster, but AFAIK moments like those are very rare and occur exclusively in Wily's Castle)

For MM6, would we be allowed to use either of the alt forms? I'd figure Power form would be out, but I'm not sure about Jet form, since it still uses the basic buster (You just can't charge it)

Also... What if one wanted to go thorough the psp remake as Vile? What rules would we have for him?

You also say we can use health regeneration - So we could use healing chips in BN? Also, what about buster up chips? And for 6, the beast busters? (I'm pretty sure the Falzar buster would be out, not sure about the gregar buster)

All right, so, here's an update! I've managed to beat Protoman yesterday, somehow, but it's taken me an extremely long time (twenty-five minutes, maybe). It was tough to dodge his attacks, and was even harder to constantly charge your Mega-buster alongside. Now, I'm up to the first Liberation Mission. :) My task is to get rid of Blizzardman and clear ACDC Area 3. Wish me luck!

Alt formes are okay since the megabusters they use are just alternative versions. As long as of course, you're still using the megabuster. As for healing and buster up chips, sure, you can use them.


I'm not sure who this Vile is; could you elaborate?

http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Mega_Man_Maverick_Hunter_X

In this PSP remake of Mega Man X, you could play as Vile, an enemy character.

http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Vile

The ability to play as Vile after completing the game. Vile acquires unique weapons as he defeats each Maverick that attaches to his Arm, Shoulder, and Leg that must be equipped before each stage. He can use these three weapons an unlimited number of times, but he cannot use any weapons beyond those three once in a stage. Each attack uses some of Vile's quick-charging Weapon Energy. However, there is a drawback of Vile being unable to dash as a player despite being able to do so as a boss in X Mode
