actually, the Gaea Shield can reflect the shots from final form Sigma, which effectively breaks the boss. which is the only time it's good.
The gaya shield
We all know everyone only use that shield for zero to break the game
Remember axl EXPLOSION GUN? only thing axl is used for
You can't rip yourself off, it's more like a recycled weapon
You can if you brave enough
Juan Rivera Have you seen Scooby Doo and Hannah Barbara
Oh god. Dont remind me@@GabrielTheMagolorMain
News flash: in MMX4, when you face Double, ironically Double Cyclone is his weakness, but it is (not so) bad news - it will send out a blob from his body that serves as his "drones"
You're just best off using the X-Buster or Nova Strike.

The manga also went with Nova Strike
To add to it, a funny story about the launch of X7. Anyone who was a fan of the series at the time this came out may recall similar experiences. For those who wern't following back then, the series really only had a few failures, most would count X6 some, counted X5 by still enjoyed it. Overall, fans had no real reason to expect X7 to be a failure as they knew X6 was only rushed out the door as the PS1 was on the way out. X7 being on the then current PS2 was merely the next step, the next evolution and it seemed they were taking their time with it as well. However what makes this story complete is the fact that the Zero Series was also expanding and the AMAZING Megaman Zero 2 came out on THE SAME DAY as X7. I can recall me and my best friend both looking forward to them immensly. For whatever reason he didn't have school that day and had been playing both. I picked them both up after school and given it's portable nature played Zero 2 right away loving every minute of it. I call my friend to talk about it and when he told me he'd been home all day I'm like "OMG! HOW IS X7!!" As for both of us, it was the main event. So there's this awkward silence and finally he's goes "......Well....... uh....... it's........you should probably just play it. I don't personally have any words to describe it." I respond "So it's that good?" to which they respond "Well......it's that........something, you'll understand when you play it." If you've played X7 yourselves, you can finish the rest of the story without me telling it. It's a memory that was just so sad it's funny to the point that I don't think I'll ever forget it. Anyone else have a similar experience?
Class FF-101 I remember being in denial at first about how bad it was. After how X6 kinda ruined things for me, I was hopeful things couldn’t get much worse... and then I got the game. I was like “well, uh, the music is good... and... the graphics aren’t too bad... uh, Red is voiced by Barry Burton from RE1... at least X is voiced by an actual man... though he sounds like even more of a whiny little bitch... shiiit, this really is bad.” I tried to like X7 more than X6, I really did, but you can only play some ridiculous facade for so long before you realize how flawed it really is.
😂
The Tri Thunder is supposed to be a tribute, much like most of Megaman X5, to the Thunder Beam. Also, it's Mijinion, not minion.
fun fact: mijinion is another name for water flea.. so yea.. he's a water flea
Still...u guys understand what he's saying tho...
I thought tri thunder was from x3...
@@expoproductionsinc.6025 Nope! It's the Triad Thunder!
@@drummr1313 oh yeah..
10. I agree completely with this one. I wish I could like it, but it just isn't very useful.
9. Meh, I don't think that being an enhanced version of the Elec Beam makes it bad. It's quite an useful weapon I'd say, and I like how it's a homage to one of the weapons from the first game. Charged version did suck though.
8. Again, I don't think this one is bad just because it's a homage to a weapon from the classic games. I thought it was a pretty nice weapon.
7. See number 10.
6. I agree. It really should deal more damage. That and the charged version should be more original.
5. See number 6.
4. I agree and disagree at the same time. I agree that the uncharged version sucked since it only had like 1 or 2 sections in which it was useful, but I wouldn't call it a rip off of the Ground Hunter though. Weapons like the Goo Shaver were common in the classics (Bubble Lead, Search Snake, Wind Storm etc.). I do like the charged version though.
3. Meh, I do like this one. The charged version alone makes up for the not-so-usefulness of the uncharged version.
2. I agree. this weapons is _so_ useless. It's also a shame since the maverick himself was actually pretty cool.
1. Even if it's kinda cheating, I can't agree more with this. X7's weapons were by far the most useless weapons in the series and are not fun to use at all.
+Lite 64 (joão carlos) the Charged Tri-Thunder is actually a callback to MegaMan Xtreme 2, and the Triad Thunder when Zero uses it, which acts EXACTLY like the charged Tri-Thunder
I think tornado tonions weapon was useful for its high damage output, especially as zero
I like x7 wepons
I'm about a few years late but he was completely wrong on Number 8, as he said "why didn't they ripoff the superior version"... uh, bud, they did, the clip clearly shows you firing your buster in Frozen Time, Time Stopper couldn't do that, Flash Stopper could.
Also number 8 is different from T, stopper because it lets you shoot enemies while using it.
The Gravity Well was actually really useful for small swarming enemies, and it totally wrecks Blast Hornet, almost to the point of making the fight really cheap and easy. Also it's used to collect the helmet upgrade, which is its primary use outside of Blast Hornet's weakness. In all honesty though, I rarely use special weapons outside of boss battles, unless they're to find secrets/upgrades. The X-Buster works just fine for me!

SHUSH.
You type "blah blah blah" in nearly every comment in this comment section. I know it was a month ago but please for the love of God, STOP.
Soo true.I think that he should change the name from Steve Skowron to Mr.Blah blah blah instead.LOL!!XP
I love how this vid turned into 'why these weapons are shit' to 'why x7 is shit'
In response to X5 ripping off past weapons, I think that was just part of their attempt to put in an homage to all the prior Mega Man and Mega Man X games. Bubble Crab's music, the Yellow Devil, those instant-kill lasers from Quick Man, the wall face boss from X1 (Ranga Banga or something stupid like that), etc. Probably because this was supposed to be the last game in the series. Note that I'm not an X5 apologist; I think it's only an okay game.
+cptnoremac You're right.
yea thats how i feel about the "ripoffs" in X5...they are ment to pay homage to the classic and x series since this is the end(originally)
+Mathew Ordonez sorry that i said the exact same thing xD but i agree with u
+cptnoremac One thing I never understood. If X5 was supposed to be the last, then why was it so mediocre and dissapointing? It would have been the worst of the series if X6 and X7 didn't happen.
gerty tk
I guess he knew he was running out of good ideas and wanted to pull the plug.
X8's saving grace was that none of the weapons were bad for all three characters. X's Shining Ray is... bad, Axel's Raygun is okay, and Zero's Tenshouha works like it usually does.
Rip off does not = bad weapon. If it was good before, its still good. And as some one else already pointed out. X5 was supposed to be a homage to the past X and original series games. Even the 3 X armors are all homages, the starting one comes form X4, the other 2 are updated versions of the stuff from Megaman 6. The game is a "Megaman's greatest hits" series all rolled into one game with a high stakes ticking clock, some how managing to make all of those "greatest hits" mesh into a single game with a good story, and a good overall flow. The fact that they were able to get all of those "old things" into a new era, have them all blend together and still make it work is amazing. The Worst weapons the useless weapons, not the ones that are actually good, but are paying homage to megaman past ON PURPOSE, and doing so with a decent amount of success. (unlike X7 as you pointed out.... lets pay homage to past X games, AND make it 3D, oh AND lets take X almostly completely out of the game.... make weapon energy god aweful, and to top it off nerf all functionality of the things that we are trying to pay homage to because.... we want slow as hell wonky 3D and a cool new hip character named Axel)

Oh, shut up with your "blah blah blah."
LOL!!!^_^
schmelzwah exactly this review is very unfair because of that
....I never realised Gaia and Falcon Armor were supposed to be a reference to the Power and Jet Adaptors. ._.
Some of these are cases of you not knowing how to use the weapon properly. I won't disagree with you about everything in X7, although as has been pointed out already, the Volt Tornado has its uses if properly applied. However:
- Gel Shaver, while indeed a ripoff of Ground Hunter (and unlike you, I didn't like the GH...) is surprisingly strong when charged.
- Twin Slasher isn't *as* weak as you say it is, especially if you can get both waves to hit the same enemy. Don't forget it's the General's weakness when playing as X, too. Yes, the Plasma Buster is usually better, but that means the Buster is overpowered, not that the TS is weak.
- Gravity Well is situational, but far from useless. It's useful when there are swarms of those small enemies you mention, like the ascent up the sewer shaft about 1/3 of the way through Toxic Seahorse's stage. I think it should have been overhauled to "eat" pretty much all on-screen projectiles not made of pure energy though, like the Victoroids' missiles and the Wild Tanks' drill bombs and mortar rounds.
- Tri Thunder was awesome. "It's a ripoff" does not justify, on its own, calling it a bad weapon. It isn't as ridiculously overpowered as the Thunder Beam, but from a balance standpoint, that's a good thing.
My worst list:
- Boomerang Cutter. Too weak, though useful against certain bosses and mandatory for grabbing at least one powerup.
- Parasitic Bomb. Awesome when it works, utterly useless when it doesn't.
- Tornado Fang. Again, too weak, and its charge shot's power consumption is so high it's *got* to be a glitch.
- Rising Fire. RANGE. It has NO RANGE except vertical unless you charge it, and while it's decently powerful, using it is really awkward.
- Lightning Web. Aside from its purpose of grabbing the Buster upgrade, the EX tank, and taking out Split Mushroom, it's completely useless.
- Dark Hold. Pretty much what you said.
- Will Laser. Decently powerful, but leaves you much too vulnerable, and its hitbox being bigger than it looks makes it very hard to maneuver. This is important for that one puzzle in Dark Necrobat's stage.
- Ice Burst. This thing just feels incomplete. I think it should have gone flying when dashed into, for example. The charge ability is neat in theory but not that useful in practice.
- Guard Shell. No argument there; this thing doesn't perform as advertised. It should soak nearly every projectile and spit out a riposte within 500msec, IMO.
- Everything in X7 and most things in X8.
IMO, Dark Hold doesn't merit a spot on this list. Not only can you fire and charge your Buster while using it, you can also deactivate it at any time (severe weaknesses of the original Time Stopper and Flash Stopper). If you take the time to upgrade your Weapon Energy, Dark Hold can get you out of nearly any situation, especially when combined with the flight ability of the Falcon Armor.
using guard shell against infinity mijinion actually made him easier for me (I was zero, i don't know if there's a difference or not)
simon tegbrink there's a glitch involved with guard shell when you use it as zero the bosses loses their invisibility frames,so you can destroy bosses easily
Funny thing isn't only a shield, these shield gives you a small buff to make more damage with your normal weapon. Really useful and broken af with Zero.
Gravity well would be really useful in moments when you are getting swarmed by a lot of small enemies
The problem is that that never happens in X3
I was so desperately pleading that you wouldn't put Flame Hyenard's boss fight in here. Liked/subscribed for caring about my ear drums! :)
I almost never use special weapons in Mega Man games unless I'm forced to.
I always rely on my buster over all else.
Same. I'll use other things, like Rush & Beat and the Adaptors & Armors, etc., but the only times I *ever* use special weapons are when you *need* to use them to progress (and to collect upgrades, in the case of the X series).
I always use special wins over the buster they are waaay cooler then the crappy megabuster
@@christianalvarez4110 Same, WHO THE FUCK uses the buster in Megaman 9 when you have the BEST weapon selection of all the classic series? (apart that Capcom decided to make the INTELLIGENT decision of getting rid of the slide and the charged buster, so, the buster is shit in the game)
we must respect blue rushers but it is the megaman main point plus x and the charged versions, if the weapon is just a rip off or the charged is ridicule or lazy this make the series senseless!
Yeah me too
No Ground Dash from X6? the Worst Weapon in Mega Man X History!!!!!!
Ground hunter was ripoff of search snakes from classic megaman... just putting it out there
#7 Twin slasher... One of the weakest dmg output, but strong enough to unlock body parts by destroying boulders lol
I seen Bubble Crab's weapon in the thumbnail and I got concerned. Gravity well is hilarious though, you can't deny it. xD
Copied weapons in my opinion are good because it complements how good they were
Dark hold is a hybrid of time stopper and flash stopper, for 1, it goes out in one use like time stopper, but u also get the x buster while time is stopped like flash stopper
Lol I was waiting for gravity well but I have to say while I don't use Dark hold often I'd say it's good for getting through certain stages quickly with little to no resistance. Plus used with the Ultimate Buster (Ultimate/Forth Armor) you can dish out a good amount of damage to The Skiver.
The shield isn't meant to be used to defeat Infinity Minion, it's only to create openings to attack him.
It's almost like the designers wanted you to use more than two-dimensional thinking and instead off the tired old, use this boss's weapon to defeat this boss, it's still a fight instead of a cakewalk.
i played the x series on emulators, and i wondered why nobody had x7, that was until I heard the most infamous sound in mega man history (burn to the ground)
In hindsight, the X-Buster from X7 and X8 are kinda overpowering every other weapon X has. When you got the full upgrade in X7 you get those tiny homing shots that will definitely finish off an enemy, and in X8 your full charge shot is powerful enough to sweep the screen, not to mention Icarus's Arm Part gave you a freaking laser beam that cuts through the stage like TLS from Ace Combat.
Did you get your footage yourself? After quartering and projared I feel like all the footage of X7 looks the same..
He is scared to play it
Well I like Volt Tornado, Wind Cutter, Circle Blaze and Charged Splash Laser
Going into this video I was l wondering how you would even have room for anything but X7 lol! Nicely done sir!
if you think the Twin Slasher sucks, you've never learned to rapid-fire properly.
+logan cameron You are right!
Agreed
Dark Hold is actually pretty overpowered if you use it properly. A.K.A. If you're a troll player. like me. 😸
Dark Hold is really great on most places... Goo shaver too because it's versatility just below you.
In no. 3 Guard shell? it's the worst, really.
Spinning wheel in former is really great. But the X7 version of Spinning wheel? Badly nerf.
+NathRK Dark Hold and Goo Shaver are on here mostly because they have been done before, Goo Shaver especially because it was done better in the previous game. Guard Shell got put so high because, unless you charge it, it's basically useless and X6 has the major problem of being way too busy so the last thing I want to do is use a charge that puts even more distractions on screen.
@@LpLance Guard Shell is Useful
@@LpLance Ground Dash is the Worst
@@LpLance You Garbage!!!!!!
Lol you crazy that Bubble Splash be doing the job🤣
jajaja pretty fun video man, i actually agree with you except in guard shell. It is used now with a glitch for craaaazy boss kills on speedruns, and actually I have done some videos using it, but i don't know if X can exploit all the potential of the weapon, like Zero does.
+HOUND MX I didn't take that glitch into consideration for a few reasons, 1: I didn't know about it until after I made this video. 2: I don't think it works for X and I'm only counting his weapons. 3: It's a glitch, so if it's not an intended function of the weapon I don't take it into consideration.
I honestly thought that X7 had potential as a good game. They should have made the walking in the 3D sections normal speed and the special weapons usable in any situation. The lock-on was a nice idea but they should have made it it's own button instead of automatic.
+Ethan Ciotti I am ticked off that Wind Cutter was included on this list in a UNFAIR way
ICYMI, #3 is actually the MOST POWERFUL Special Weapon you can use, IF you use it with the Plasma Shot of the Blade/Ultimate Armor to hit while the enemy is touching the shield to land multiple hits and increase its destructive power!
@LpLance
while im no expert on top 10s but the weapons were you say are cop outs of other weapons seems pretty lazy but still a great list ;-)
hope to see more from ya
Eurgh. X7 is just an awful, awful game. It's going to be rediscovered later this year when the X Collections are released. Wouldn't it be awesome if Capcom, ashamed and embarrassed, decided to give it a full overhaul before re-releasing it? ;-)
Cool fact: the guard shell is very effective against high max, it reflects his little plasma balls combine the guard shell with the blade armors dash when hes stunned and it does some damage
Does the charged Triad Sanda from x3 remind you of sailor uranus attack?
I like gravity well, however you made my day with number 1 hahahaha
2:51 This a rip-off of the Flash Stopper. The Time Stopper didn't allow you to fire normal shots during the stop.
Unless i need it to reach an armor piece, heart, or 1up. I ONLY use the weapons for the boss remtaches at the end of the game. Side note: mega man x7 is a pure, unadulterated travesty to the series....
My top 10 worst weapons in the Mega Man X series (my opinion)
10. Gravity Hold (Gravity Beetle) (Mega Man X3)
9. Double Cyclone (Storm Owl) (Mega Man X4)
8. Magnet Mine (Magna Centipede) (Mega Man X2)
7. Strike Chain (Wire Sponge) (Mega Man X2)
6. Moving Wheel (Ride Boarski) (Mega Man X7)
5. Handangeki/Explosion (Vanishing Gungaroo) (Mega Man X7)
4. Guard Shell (Shield Sheldon) (Mega Man X6)
3. Gaea Shield (Soldier Stonekong) (Mega Man X7)
2. Ground Dash (Ground Scaravich) (Mega Man X6)
1. Circle Blaze (also known as BURNTOTHEGROUND) (Flame Hyenard) (Mega Man X7)
Shadow Runner is suuuuper useful if you are doing stages like Sigma's palace without any of X's armor, especially for a first-time player. You can use it to wipe out those annoying dudes with the shields that are hard to break as the shot comes up on them from behind, as well as any of the ground enemies which are too low for X's buster shot to hit (and those ones that spit flames which make it risky going near with Zero). I used this to avoid damage before fighting Vile and Sigma without armor. Can also knock out those Sigma copies without even coming into range of their shots. I found it useful in a few other stages as well. It's definitely not for swarms or taking on something coming at you real fast but otherwise very convenient for clearing enemies out of your way before you even get near them.
nice video :D
15:03
It's Homing TORPEDOES.
Horming Torpedo.
It’s more like dive missle sense it only fires one
I do REALLY like how the Tri Thunder is the Black Devil's weakness.
Twin Slasher is for screen clearing with the charge.
X7 had two great weapons: Splash Laser, which is actually really strong when charged, and then there's Volt Tornado. Volt Tornado is second only to Model HX from MMZX as the STRONGEST weapon I have ever used in a Mega Man game. It rips through everything, does big damage to every boss, and multi-hits every boss that it can hit; oddly enough, it does less damage to Splash Warfly because he's weak to it and gets long i-frames from it.
EDIT: Guard Shell is broken, and I disagree with you on pretty much everything you said about it except as a shield and Mijinion's weakness. If the plasma shot from either the Blade or Ultimate armor, the charge saber, or the Mach dash, overlap with both the Guard Shell and an enemy, it will deal damage EVERY FRAME, much like with Zero. Charged Guard Shell is so bad it's one of the only reasons I use Quick Charge over Ultimate Buster. It's almost impossible to hit anything with it, and even if you do manage to hit something, it has terrible damage output. Therefore, I don't think Guard Shell is even fair to BE ranked on any kind of best/worst weapons, because it's the only weapon that is actually bugged in the X series that I know of. Were it not for the glitch, I'd agree that it's awful, because it is a pretty bad shield, but it enables ridiculous damage output with both characters. I would instead put Ground Dash from Ground Scaravich on the worst list, because that weapon has only one use in helping you to get a couple reploids early because it freezes you in the air for a bit
Can you stop saying 'puh-thetic', please?
El Rodrigo thats how it's pronounced. Is he supposed to say path-etic?
He meant stop saying it because he said it way too often.
***** Then why not just type pathetic instead of puh-thetic?
Well...It IS how he said it.
***** That IS how it's said, is it not?
So, let's see. We have Time Stopper, Flash Stopper, Centaur Flash, Dark Hold... and probably some others I forgor about.
Personally, in X1 I never really found myself using Shotgun Ice for more than Spark Mandrill Syndrome. Even the health upgrade you're supposed to use it for is easily obtained with Boomerang Cutter or just using your dash if you've already beaten Launch Octopus, which in the route I take, I usually already have.
Nonetheless, I agree with your choices. X7 has a decent soundtrack, and I feel like that's all it has going for it.
+kalas9000 There's a Heart you are supposed to get with Shotgun Ice? Also I like Shotgun Ice for its easy aiming, but its meh overall, agreed, also SparkMandrill Syndrome
Cloudmonkey Well, you don't NEED to. But the one in Boomer Kuwanger's stage is a little easier to get if you don't want to go back through after you beat him.
Charging it also lets you get the Life Up in Boomer Kuwanger's stage without needing to go back.
random vid recommendation. still good.
ya know, earlier in the video i was wondering why there's mmX8 but no mmX7. i agree with you whole heartedly about mmX7 😂😂
I think what it comes to the gravity well weapon I think I only used it consistently in three places one against the boss it's weak to, The spot you need to use it charged version to get the armor upgrade and the latter of small bots in neon tiger stage and the only reason why use that there was because it was a great place to farm for help to fill up the E-tanks
cool video!
I realize that this video is 3 years old, but I want to throw out my opinion on here anyways.
My bottom 10 (Including 1 from each game):
Dishonorable Mention: Meteor Rain (X6): Definitely would've made the list if I wasn't including one from each game. It's a worse Rising Fire, as it doesn't go through platforms. It's charge never seems to be practical, as in personal experience, the bubbles fell right on top of me most of the time, meaning I'd have to take a hit to land a hit. Shark Player also isn't very easy to hit with it until he jumps in the air.
10. Fire Wave (X1): Overall solid weapon, but a bit underpowered compared to the rest of X1's great weapon lineup. Would be a higher tier weapon in all other X Games. Charge is also underwhelming (Basically just Melt Creeper, another weapon I'm not a huge fan of). Good for killing moles in Armadillo's stage though.
9. Rising Fire (X4): X4's weapons are very good, but I'm not a fan of this one. I don't like the fact that it's a purely vertical weapon, and it ends up meaning that you can take a lot of accidental hits against Frost Walrus, though it does trivialize Sigma 1. X4 just doesn't have a lot of vertical sections to make this worth using, especially if you get it last like I usually do.
8. Parasitic Bomb (X3): X3, while not having any standout weapons other than maybe the Ray Splasher or Triad Thunder, also did not have any particularly weak weapons. Despite your gripes with Gravity Well, it also makes Blast Hornet the easiest boss fight in the series, and has some usability for certain sections. Parasitic Bomb does not make either fight I use it for significantly easier, and I still worry about deaths on Buffalo and Vile (I leave him for Doppler stages in my route). Aside from that, it just feels like every situation that you *could* use Parasitic Bomb, you'd just be better off using a different weapon, like Acid Burst, Triad Thunder, or Ray Splasher.
7. Sonic Slicer (X2): I dislike weapons with a long startup time, so this weapon frustrates me. It makes it hard to aim unless you are right up against the enemy. It doesn't move in a predictable enough pattern to make it's vertical movement helpful. The charge is good against most things, but in the one place it really needs to be good, the Serges Refight, it can easily just have shots eaten up by the vehicle. No way you hit him with the normal version unless you jump right at him or get lucky. Better off using Buster against Sigma 1 as well.
6. Firefly Laser (X5): The only bad weapon in X5 imo, the normal version is just not practical. It has a good charge version, but having to stand completely still while you move a firefly at a snail's pace at 1 enemy is not fun or well designed. I only just learned this week after playing the game over 20 times that the trail behind it can damage enemies, but there's no way you'll do that when it disappears after contact with literally anything. Plus, they used this weapon to design the worst way to get an armor piece in the series history, so I have to dock points for that.
5. Ice Burst (X6): Only redeeming quality is that it lets you get through Gate 1 without Zero or Shadow Armor to be able to beat Nightmare Mother easier, but only if you have the jumper chip. Otherwise it's range is pitiful and the charge is awful, especially against the maverick weak to it.
4. Crystal Wall (X8): Possibly the most situational weapon in the whole series. Given, I've only played X8 once now, and used Axl and Zero for most of it, but from what I've used of it, there are really not many situations where this'd do you any good outside of fighting Man O' War and getting rare metals. It lacks range and speed, and can only be used on the ground. It can break shields, but you could just use a charge shot or Green Spinner. It can protect you from bullets, but you can't move with it, so why bother with that? Again, there is no reason to use this over vastly superior weapons X8 has to offer. At least Axl gets a decent weapon from Trilobyte.
3. Moving Wheel (X7): This is a weapon that could've benefited from a lock on function. I don't hate X7's 3D controls as much as most people do, but trying to use this weapon in 3D is a lost cause, which is unfortunate, since the boss weak to it is fought in 3D. Add to that the fact that it can't hit Anteator when he goes on the bottom of the tube, and that it deals no damage to him even when you do land a hit, and it just makes it pointless. Better off just using the buster and saving Anteator for when you have enough health to tank his last phase.
2. Shining Ray (X8): I can see what they were going for here, but it suffers from a lot of the same problems as Crystal Wall. Only usable on the ground, slow, and unlike Crystal Wall, it can't break shields. It doesn't help that the bosses weak to it (Mantis and Sigma) are some of the fastest moving bosses in the game, and that Axl's weapon from Sunflower is one of his best, and one of the ones I used the most in my playthrough. If this weapon's projectiles were bigger and it could be used while moving or in the air, it might be good, but the buster is going to be better than it in almost all situations. As far as crowd control goes, X8 also has Drift Diamond, Squeeze Bomb, Thunder Dancer, and even Melt Creeper, which will all be better than Shining Ray in most situations.
1. Guard Shell/Gaea Sheild (X6/X7): Putting these together because 1: you talked at length about the Guard Shell, and 2. They're basically the same weapon anyways. But yeah, Both weapons suffer from being shields that don't actually work as shields, and having awful offensive utility. I didn't bother using the Gaea Shield at all in my playthrough of X7, as one use was enough to understand how bad it was, and watching this confirmed my suspicions. The charge of Guard Shell is decent, so that makes it slightly better than Gaea Shield in my books, but both are completely pointless. The worst part is that Zero's version of Guard Shell is even worse than X's! You have to equip it via the pause menu, every time, and if you accidentally equip it before going through Mijinion's boss door instead of after the fight starts, the shield will disappear and you can't equip another one!
Guard Shell is Useless but If You Get the Full Blade Armor Upgrade and a Glitch For Zero its Usefull
I don't think it's really fair to talk about rip-offs from the classic series... I get you don't like weapon rip-offs, but if we're going to NOT talk about Zero and Axl weapons, but still talk about Classic MegaMan weapons... I dunno... It doesn't seem fair. Tri-Thunder was good.
Personally, I like Twin Slasher. It has a significantly quicker fire rate and much broader range. I liked Volt Tornado, in X7. Saves you from swarms, though the rest of the weapons suck. I don't necessarily agree with your reasons 'why' but yeah, the rest are awful.
Here's mine:
10. Green Spinner (I am sure this has great power, but I can't seem to launch without getting hit.)
09. Crystal Hunter (I know it can help reach places, and I use it to get Shoryuken, but moooostly useless imo otherwise.)
08. Crystal Wall (I want to like this one, but I don't... :/)
07. Ground Fire
06. Strike Chain (I am sure it is useful, but I find it hard to use, personally. Same with Chain Rod in MMZ2)
05. Dark Hold
04. Moving Wheel
03. Explosion
02. Shining Ray
01. Guard Shell
....... But I basically stick the X-Buster and only use special weapons in boss fights.
Also, you should know, before you do a video about Mavericks, his name has a 'J' in it. MiJinion.
its not a rip off cause its part of the megaman series the producers of megaman just decided to make that weapon for megaman x5 but its not rip off and those weapons arent bad if you learn how to use them
You're so funny, dude! Do a review on how horrible and uncreative they made Megaman X in Marvel vs Capcom infinite. The fact that he can get out zoned by most of the cast is just.... ugh... and he just has 4 moves, and 2 of them are boomerang types. 4 really useless weapons and he can't even zone that good, and his super is just his plain charge shot which he already can do it by simply holding his buster. It's really really lazy it's awful.
Uau, eu realmente concordo com boa parte da lista, principalmente com o X7, que já sofri para zerar 2x 😢
A lot of X7 weapons are shit, I'll give you that, but you've really underestimated Volt Tornado. No joke, when used properly, that weapon is like the closest thing you could get to Metal Blade. You can get most bosses to stand in place for a long time, and the Tornado has a long lasting hitbox with multiple hits, allowing it to cumulate more damage than even the weakness weapon of a boss. That and the charged version lets you restore health with each hit you do. Volt Tornado is a god send, especially in the last stage of the game since there are multiple linear sections and the bosses are all there for the effectiveness of the weapon to really shine.
bla bla bla
What are the blas for?
Jake Holland
He's a troll who types the same exact thing with every comment that disagrees with the video. He sucks at being a troll too.
Nice one.LOL!!^_^
Who knows.He's probably like the dog Hemo-Hemo from Ninja Boy.He can only say it's name......
Honestly i feel like letting weapons that are extremely similar on the list to other weapons is kind of cheating. Its very easy to just find weapons that function similar to others so I feel like a version of the video where those weapons arent on there would be more interesting to see.
I think the only reason they made the power consumption in x7 so bad is because most players just use their buster for the entirety of the stage
Did the testers themselves only use the trio's default weapons?
Mines:
10. Firefly laser
9. Explosion
8. Guard shell
7. Frost shield
6. Strike chain
5. Shining Ray
4. Moving wheel
3. Gravity well
2. Double cyclone
Dishonorable mentions: bubble splash, Ray splasher, parasitic bomb, aiming laser, twin slasher, ground dash, sniper missile, wind cutter, Crystal wall
1. Gaea shield
Mega Man X7 weapons ranked (my opinion)
Greatest of all time: Volt Tornado
Cool: Sniper Missile
Good: Wind Cutter and Splash Laser
Bad: Gaea Shield
Awful: Handangeki, Moving Wheel, and Circle Blaze
I expected gravity well.
Cool idea, poor execution.
How did rising flame not make this list ???😂
Do you really prefer ground hunter over goo shaver?
Just look at the charge shot of goo shaver.
The one weapon that I can think of that's more useful than guard shell and gaia shield put together is the charged version of Frost Shield from X3... That actually stops most if not some enemy fire.
Well, there’s also the charged Rolling Shield from the original X… complete encasement, stops most projectiles and kills most weak enemies on contact. It was always the best weapon to refill those subtanks… just deploy and genocide the bats.
The Shell Guard is useful to stop X and Zero auras from attacking the player though
What asbout the frost sheild from x4
twin slasher can be used to break the rocks,sort of,guarding,the torso upgrade. i also used it on the big yellow guy i think his name was either colonel or general (spoiler alert : i died)
The Sniper Missile from X7 and the Homing Missile from X1 are both rip-offs of the Dive Missile from Mega Man 4 .
My 10 worst for X would easily have to be these:
10.) Moving Wheel, 9.)Ice Burst, 8.)Ground Dash, 7.) Crystal Hunter, 6.) Rising Fire, 5.) Melt Creeper, 4.) Explosion, 3.) Parasitic Bomb, 2.) F-Laser, 1.) Gravity Well.
Overall, a good video. I do agree with a number of your choices.
New Zen Why ice burst and rising fire?
thanks this vidio make me enjoy
Guard Shell Glitch was actually awesome for X if you had Blade Armor.
14:30 You’re going to like the plant barrier and the skull barrier!
Should've mentioned what happens if you use Double Cyclone against Double, lol.
My favorite weapon is probably split mushrooms body double. I love using that weapon with infinite ammo helmet .
Dark Hold > Time Stopper because you can actually fucking turn it off and fire
I kept on waiting and waiting for the #1 worst weapon, and the worst weapon was never mentioned....spike ball from mmx5. That is the most useless piece of shit ever. I was really surprised at the choices in this video (not including MMX7), as I actually like most of the weapons that were picked as worst. Jet Stingray weapon was pretty awful. Crescent Grizzly weapon is also terrible.
I want to see someday the good and the worst weapons for Zero and Axel
10:46 WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT???
you know a megaman game sucks when the acquired weapons suck... because that`s what Megaman is all about
The guard shell's charged shot recycles the charged shot sprites from magna centipede (MMX2)
Megaman X games started off with good weapons, then they got shittier and shittier. The X Buster ruins the special weapons use. What’s the point?
Guard shell would be better if instead of putting an useless shield infront of you, it would be one of the clams from the charged attack that homes in on enemies, this would be (imo) a much more interesting take on the weapon.
EDIT: keep its bug with zero too cus why not
How Aiming Laser was not #1 is interesting, let alone it not even being on the list at all is bizarre.
Also, the Splash Laser is OP. It takes out damn near any maverick in the game with ease.
A few things I don't agree with:
-Gravity Well isn't a bad weapon, especially when compared with Ray Splasher from the same game. It actually kills small enemies very effectively and unlike other enemies you can fire it in advance and just dash around while it does the killing for you. You even admit that you only got functionality out of it when you tried for the video, which showed you never really gave it an honest chance.
-Shadow Runner's primary purpose is to cheese out certain troublesome enemies by being able to attack through walls. For this reason it is not bad. Surprisingly the list does include Shining Ray which is a poor weapon for all the reasons you described, but doesn't include Green Spinner; perhaps the lamest, most lazily designed weapon ever with a non-threatening and lame name to boot. Its functions are practically nil in the game as well.
-X7 certainly has the worst weapons overall, but Volt Tornado and Circle Blaze are not among them. Volt Tornado is actually one of the most useful weapons in the X series because of how decidedly it destroys so many enemies when used well. It hits numerous times and has a large hitbox. The charge attack also automatically damages nearby enemies so you can quickly dash through. Circle Blaze is very effective on large enemies who take a lot of damage from it's numerous hits.
i would have honestly really liked x7 if x as an unlockable was really really good, like overpowered good and with ultimate armor to make it game breaking good. that for me would make the game somewhat worth it.
So in X7 Explosion is a REALLY good weapon but ONLY FOR BOSSES IT DEALS A LOT OF DAMAGE but low power gauge so its a really limited ultra damage, gaea Shield reflects sigma green balls but charged splash shot does more damage to sigma (cuz weakness) the others are shit i havent even used them once in leves only bosses and thats quite rare
I really liked the twin slaser of megaman x4, i usually i just spammed the attack button
When you learn how to use these weapons and you're able to use them they're not "Pathetic" as you say.
That's why I choose to play zero. Zero were OP, But most skills are not very useful for bosses in X5 and X6. X6 Zero is fucking op, Zero with shield is like enhancing his saber hit 1>20+ times, 1 slash damages with shield, Bosses health drop below half of it's max health which make me doesn't even want to use dragon flies on Zero. I rather just use shield to make my saber damage being op the whole game. I will just do dash slash combo to boss for fast dead instead of skills on bosses. For Megaman/Rockman X4 there is only 5 bosses can do dash slash combo, so skills in X4 is quite useful. But they removed dash slash combo in Rockman/Megaman Zero 2,3,4 and Rockman/Megaman X 7,8. Zero 3,4 really need to combo skills with normal attacks.
I always thought the ground hunter and goo shaver where rip offs of search snake so double rip offs of the weapon from the 8 bit series
Don't be surprised if goo shaver the one of 'worst' weapons also used by Nightmare Mother as main weapon.
Number 4. Do you hate the great music?
Moving on... I prefer using this:
Don't use as much - used more but not as much as the next one - Love using them
X - Axl - Zero.
Yea I love using Zero ALL THE TIME
