huh never knew DOC stood for anything! I just assumed it was short for 'dr. wily' but megaman 3 was probably my favorite in the series, the twist of having to revisit some of the levels with these new bosses outfitted with the weapon abilities from the robot masters from MM2 was kinda neat and something I hadn't seen up to that point!
3 is definitely one of the best! Its a neat twist, they sort of did something similar with the weapon archive in MM10 but to a much lesser extent. I’d love to see a handful of old Robot Masters return in some way again but in a newer style game like 11, maybe in 12.
@@DenDensetsu indeed I know most people prefer 2 but something about 3 I really enjoyed! I do hope they revisit the idea in whatever's next for megaman for sure.
I don't thin it was meant to be anything at first, it was just a butchered translation of Dokurobot, a pun on skull (dokuro) and robot
I had no problem beating the Doc bots in mm3
I liked the idea of Doc Robots. I wouldn’t have minded if they continued that concept in the later games. Closest we got was the Weapons Archive from Mega Man 10.
Yeah, it would have been neat to see a Doc Robot V2/MK2, especially instead of the weapon archive which always came across to me as a lazy boss. The Doc Robot is more interesting.
@@DenDensetsu, the thing about the weaknesses of the Doc Robots in MM3 is that they were based off of the weakness - and weapon - of a certain Robot Master from that game. For instance, the Doc Robot of Metal Man is weak against both Magnet Missile and Hard Knuckle, meaning it was based off of Hard Man.
I'm questioning if such a concept was abandoned for the sequels because it was hard to find weaknesses to make sense. Now, a Doc Robot of Hard Man in MM4 could - for instance - been weak against Dive Missile and Drill Bomb (ie: based off Drill Man), but the others? Might need some finagling to figure out, if they could work.
I'm going to have to doc your pay
Doc robot
Someone made a mod in the game "Rivals of Aether" that makes him playable.
Awesome sauce, Ill have to check that one out!
Doc Robot had a cool design and concept, but the execution was so abhorrent gameplay wise that it singlehandedly made 3 worse as a game.
I didnt think they’re all that bad gp wise 😅 what dont you like about it?
@@DenDensetsu I don't think a soul on this planet played the main Robot Master stages and said "Gosh, I want to do that again but with worse level design and worse bosses". It's so blatantly obvious that the Doc Robots are just padding. Future Mega Man games have content in-between the main stages and the Wily castle, namely 4-6, but at least those are fully designed new levels. They don't even have interesting attack patterns, either. Doc Robot just takes the Robot Master attacks from 2 with the occasional change to make them less fun to fight. Doc Quick Man is especially guilty of this, as he's even more impossible to dodge than his Mega Man 2 counterpart.
In all honesty, Doc Robot is one of the reasons that 3 is my pick for worst in the series.

Yeah, doc quick and doc wood was a bitch to fight.
