Which mega man game is the easiest? Havnt played megaman in years so started playing the newest one, kinda difficult but fair but was wondering if theres actually an easy one out there just for me to start with then play the rest of them i have megaman legacy collection, so i think i have megan man 1 to 4 and theres others on deals (2d megaman and not battlenetwork series)

Mega Man 6 would get my vote.

the abilities you have in that make it way more forgiving IMO


edit: beware, the legacy collection versions of these games have terrible input lag. so they get artificially harder due to that, especially the PS4 versions

I found X to be more forgiving than the classics I've played (2,8,9), for what it's worth. More fun, too.

 

[Y0ssarian]

Mega Man X

Mega man X4. Maybe it's my bias to it and countless playthroughs, but that game is pretty easy
If you're going for the classic series, then MM2 is your best bet. I think the actual game is quite overrated but it's a solid entry and much easier than the first game and many of the other ones like MM3 or MM9
There's also mm11 which offers a slowdown function

5

 

[NeptuneCL]

Megaman 5 is the easiest

 

[rodrigolfp]

2 on normal?

 

[lh032]

Megaman X

 

[Bwesh]

X4 for me. I used to speedrun that game back when I was a child.

 

[ProgenitorCastle]

X4 for X, MM2 for Classic, idk about the rest of the subseries' for the easiest games in each

How is 11? Demo was easy enough, unsure as to whether I should buy it or not.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Yep as others have said the first X game is definitely the easiest.

 

[Irobot82]

Mega Man 2. Metal Man was easy to kill with normal gun, and then that power was OP for most of the other bots.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

5. No question about it. It even drops extra lives like candy.

 

[Calling 911 Melts Beams]

your mega mom is the easiest

 

[64bitmodels]

your mega mom is the easiest

Nice argument
Just one problem
The atari jaguar cd sucks

 

[Celcius]

Megaman X is probably both the easiest AND best Megaman game ever made.

 

[Roxkis_ii]

Megaman 8.

I was stuck on that green devil boss for so long.

 

[AngelMuffin]

Mega Man Soccer

not easy, not hard.

 

[STARSBarry]

Megaman Command Mission, I mean the enemies just wait for you to take your turn.

Joking aside X.

 

[Comandr]

Megaman X is the best meganman game. The difficulty curve is perfect

 

[Maddux4164]

the OG Mega Man is the easiest

…… really it is

It’s extremely forgiving and allows for many errors to be made

Enjoy it

They probably didn't use game mode on whatever shit TV they used.
I have the legacy collection and its just as good as OG hardware.
In Mega man 2 bubble man's stage there are platforms that will fall as soon as you touch them.
But if your tv is good enough its possible to jump on and cross over without the platforms ever falling just like in the original nes.

the graph literally says TV lag was taken off the numbers
