When I first entered the room, I couldn't really figure out the distorted image in the back at first. Then I realized. The moment I noticed that it was Wily's logo, my heart kinda stopped a beat. Then the MM1 boss theme started to play, and then a fucking Devil appeared? You have no idea how many emotions I felt through those 3 seconds
MM1: Pause trick FTW MM3: You can slide to dodge the blobs MMX5: WALL JUMP IN THE CORNER! In other words, NO MORE PAUSE TRICK! MMPU: Easy Mode exists MM11: [Speed Gear intensifies]
Wily actually influences the events in the next games quite a lot as well. After all, Zero was the one who had the original Maverick Virus that infected Sigma, which in turn caused pretty much every other Maverick, and then that caused the Mother Elf to be made, which stopped the Maverick Wars... and then you had the Elf Wars, and Weil stealing Zero's original body, which went on to influence the events in Mega Man Zero, and that's not even including what Zero does as well. And then Zero defeats Weil but this ends up creating the Biometal W... Wily created a lot of trouble for the world, even past his death, causing trouble all the way up to Mega Man ZX. I can't remember if anything he did affected ZX Advent though, it's been a while since I played through that, and I only played it through once anyway.
@@ShadowdaHedgie11 If only Megaman was able to pull the trigger and end wily back then none of that would have happened and humanity would have been saved.
At X: bumo....bumomomo! Translation: You.... I remember you! At Zero: bumo? Bumo bumo bumo......? Bumomomomo! Translation: Zero? Why would you leave- You traitor!
This music, this boss, the "W' in the background in Sigmas 2nd form and the fact he said to Zero "I met an interesting person", all of them show that Zero and the Virus are Dr. Wilys creation.
Did I say : _"the "W' in the background in Sigmas 2nd form"_ ? Correction: the "W" is in the bacground on the stage in which X and Zero fight each other.
Interesting fact, in Mega Man 2: The Power Battle, beating the game with bass shows that Dr. Wily has plans for a new robot and shows it's silhouette. What was that Silhouette? Zero, marking his first appearance ever and a teaser to the Megaman X franchise.
This is the first Devil I've faced throughout all of the Megaman games. I've finally experienced and realized the hate towards Yellow Devil many people experienced. Damn, am I glad the Game Over didn't require me to restart the entire stage, otherwise, I would've went ape sh*t!!
The first Devil I fought was Block Devil in 10. Except I did it in Easy mode so I didn't find out until later about falling out of his room. Even without that he was pretty difficult and his stage was the most annoying.
Well, I know one thing for sure: A Megaman 1 game over would probably be the only game that would increase my patience endurance, because if not, I'd bail faster than those blasts from Megaman's Mega Buster.
I love coming from the original megaman yellow devil theme to this theme... it's like.. "ah yeah... nostalgia.." and then ".... holy shit this got real"
@@RealMrSebas2005 You know you can stick yourself at upper corner of the room in order to avoid his block form. Its easier to do this using gaea armor since you dont need keep pressing X button.
when i first got to him im like oh, just another boring devil fight... first im like what the hell this remix is fricken insane and then i died approximately 1,892,928 times.
AmericanDutchGuy except when you have to jump.....right into row three and take a hit there, trust me its a lot worse then you think, especially on EXTREME
This was originally going to be called "Metal Devil" with a silver body, but they changed him to black in order to emphasize his eye markings. Wow, Inafune! You did a great job with this boss!
Dr Wily obviously improved his shit. The gigantic cyber space generated by the Zero Virus temporarily brought him back to life (he actually materialized somewhere inside Rey Kuukan (Null Space) and met with Sigma and built Sigma W and Gamma Sigma.) it's an unusually complex story for a Megaman game o.o
My first play through: Im almost finishing this game, just gotta beat this next boss...... *music starts playing* Oh no not him.....no.......NO............NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Playing through X5 the first time, I get past a remake of Quickman's stage from MM2 and the nostalgia is turned up to 10 already. Then this theme starts to play. The nostalgia gets turned up to NIGHTMARE!
Oh, and...show of hands. How many people dropped the controller in shock and outrage when the Shadow Devil stopped sending itself across the screen midway through and pummelled you to death in a sudden barrage? I beat him before and he hadn't done that. Maybe I was playing on easy originally. Either way, it was so unexpected that I couldn't recover.
Bluesit32 Shao Kahn took my first PS1 controller, when I though I was prepared for everything after that, this bitch took my second one, compared to this slut Sweet Tooth from TM4 is a headless chicken.
Bluesit32 Nah, that wasn't it for me. What DID piss me off was when he RANDOMLY TURNED INTO FUCKING WILY 6 AND KILLED ME IN ONE HIT WHEN I WAS FINALLY ABOUT TO KILL HIM.
Bluesit32 Yeah... It's not that hard to dodge but the first time it happens there's no way you're expecting it. Pretty sure that's the longest I've ever spent on a boss fight
Gaea Armor makes this fight so easy. You can stick to a wall while his blocks are flying across the room, and jump over him when he begins to morph back into shape.
You can do that with any of the characters if you just say jumping in the corner. Gaea Armor is totally not worth the trouble of getting it through all the death lasers.
Devil bosses throughout the Megaman games: -Yellow Devil (MM1) -Yellow Devil mark II (MM3) -Dark Moon (MMV) -Green Devil (MM8, MM&Bass and MM&B: Challenger from the Future) -Twin Devil (MM9) -Block Devil (MM10) -Shadow Devil (MMX5) -Nightmare Mother (MMX6)* -Rainbow Devil (MMZ1) -Rainbow Devil mark II (MMZ2) -Lava Demon/Devil (MMZX) I'm pretty sure I left out a few, so comment on the ones I missed. *Technically not a Devil boss, but it does fight like one, so I included it here.
Lite 64 There is actually a third Green Devil fight I learned about, its in RockMan & Forte 2: Challenger from the Future, a RockMan&Forte Sequel for the Wonderswan
I showed this track to my friend once who hadn't played x5 yet or the classic mega man games he said this track is good,now he recently beat x5 and this track gives him PTSD.
For me not really. X5 by far has the most epic plot (in relation to other Megaman X games) and most serene/mysterious final stages BGM ever. Heck the Zero Stage BGM is so serene and mysterious it's like I'm reaching the final answer of the universe and all things... And the background art matches the feeling of the song. X5 is very inspirational, epic and sophisticated as far as art is concerned. But gameplay-wise the bosses have weak AI, that's for sure...
Even after all these years, this is still the most terrifying devil. The Devil in 11 was more gimmicky than terrifying and his weakness made him fairly easy.
One of the first megaman I played, after knowing the story from the beginning, knowing zero origin, the virus and wily then and just then you get every reference from this fight, from the background, the second form, the music and the boss itself 😮
Just think....that this Devil is the product of the Zero Virus recreating one of Wily's original combat robots and using virus's power to literally overclock it to the point where it becomes a serious threat to Reploids (Given from what Wily said that Megaman would never be a match for Zero in the past). Essentially what X is fighting is technically a nightmare given form.
My description of this boss to my coworker; "He can occupy 80% of the screen and is only vunerable in his eye. He teleports around and does ass tons of damage. You can duck and jump him, or take to the walls, press jump button at the speed of light, and jump over him when he reforms. He's super weak to one of the hardest weapons to hit him with. Then he transforms into the last bosses of some of the previous Megaman games. That's when shit gets real."
After Bass was created, in Megaman Power Fighters (bass ending) it did state that Wily was building a new robot (Zero). Bass was introduced in Megaman 7 so it had to be somewhere after that time. Megaman X is a new type of robot based off of the original megaman, but with human emotions. I get my knowledge from the games I play.
This fight was one of the highlights in X5. X5 was a great game and it surprised me actually since some of the previous games weren`t that great. Still waiting for X9 and MM 11.
I lost it when I recognize this song when I played this game: The Wily Bosses from Original Mega Man game. Thank you Capcom for bringing back my memories. :D
Seeing this Devil show up in the final stages made me wonder how it was possible even though there was that obvious W in the background. Almost as if Wily or Sigma got a hold of whatever data there was of the Devil and corrupted it with the virus. Of course I don't know if there was an explanation as to how this monster even came back.
Its still odd how the cyberspace works in that game. The fact sigma hinted to working with "someone" in there made me think a Wily AI simply used the data of a Devil but the virus in the cyberspace corrupted it. Also I doubt sigma would have gotten a hold of something that ancient since its as if everything during OG megaman's time is long gone except some stuff.
Shiki Nanaya and its really the Revenge of the FUCKING Yellow Devil, unlike the original it has some quirks, first off, it can spawn the eye in various places(Still weak to Thunder Beam though),the Swapping is much more chaotic and with no cycle it takes, it can stop mid shift and start swapping from both sides, and then it can turn into a freaking Wily Machine, add on the Remix of the Theme as well as the Wily Insignia flickering on the background sometimes, and you see his revenge at hand
+Shiki Nanaya actually with zero it was easier because when he started to throw its blocks from both sides i just spammed zero's giga attack to grant it temporal invincibility and with that i evaded a lot of damage.
I still laugh whenever people say this is harder than the original Yellow Devil... NO. EFFING. WAY! Against Shadow Devil, you can duck, you have Sub-Tanks, the weapon that's its weakness gets a full recharge every time, and most importantly, you respawn at the boss's door even after a Game Over, making it way easier to practice against.
"Alright, what's the boss? ...I recognize that music. Is that a distorted W in the background? Wait, these blobs- Oh. No! We can't escape from him even in the future..."
this is the credits theme in the recently discovered x5 prototype, which due to the credits not being in place yet, uses x4's credits screen, so you just get to see the final weapon exploding with this music playing
The first time I arrived with him after passing the Quick Man Stage (yes, Quick Man's, if someone didn't realize it's the same Stage, only adapted to the X series) I didn't recognize him from the music at first Until I saw a black ball approaching from behind followed by others in different positions, that was when I said "don't screw me." It goes without saying that the first attempts tore me apart, after 45 minutes I was doing the trick in its first phase (he kept massacring me but I already knew more or less how to hit him in addition to already knowing his weakness), then In almost an hour and a half I managed to drop 3/4 of a bar and that was when I switched to the Willy Machine from Mega Man 6 and with one stomp I took off almost half a bar of life making me an insta kill. I almost crashed the control on my television XD, luckily I found the trick of staying up in a corner by pressing the jump button like crazy to avoid his body when it was divided and it became much easier, it cost me almost 2 in total hours to beat him, but it was a great satisfaction to see him explode and finally pass that level.
IMO, if a short movie like about 6 mins or so was done with good animation and this music was playing in the BG. It would be pretty good, although the song will have to be remixed or something to give it a variety of ways to make it awesome! This get's a 4 star. * * * *
I played MMX5 blind on an emulator last year, and I got SO MUCH PTSD after hearing MM1 boss theme start to play. I spent more time trying to beat the Shadow Devil than the FINAL BOSS.
joão carlos I'd compare it more to Mud, sentient mud, but since we have no Mud type except Water/Ground maybe, and Shadow Devil deserves Dark type, Dark/Water
Oh man the Shadow Devil. This music and picture make so many bad memories of fighting this damn thing over and over just to get killed when you nearly got him...frustrating.
The Original Super Saiyan In MM1, Thunder Beam the devil, pause the screen (Select or Start), unpause, pause-unpause until devil is dead. Works on ice man too.
Koopinator As Nigel said, the key is in the early MM games Pausing and unpausing would reset the status of sprites in some manner, MM1 had a Full Mercy Invincibility Reset, which put Thunder Beam into God Grade with its large size, essentially you fire the Thunder Beam and then spam pause and whatever you be facing will die fast
Oh boy... I still remember how I struggled to defeat the original Devil... And when I played this game and saw this dude, I just went like this: ".... Really!? A rematch against the Shadow Devil!?" I soon lost my last live (Lost the others with the Force Beams* And I didnt play the game for long.
This one and mega man 1 version make you go... REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Talk about a plot twist that went nowhere. Ever since X2, Zero's been hinted as Wily's creation. By X4, it was pretty much a given, but that he also created the original Maverick Virus. X5, however, suggests that Wily may still be alive. X6 has that one reploid that looks suspiciously Wily-esque...and triggers a memory in Zero's mind as he looks upon the fallen shell. And then the plotline is dropped completely. I would LOVE to know where Sigma learned about Zero's past...who built his giant body in X5...the whole thing. The X series should have stopped with 5 or 6. I'd prefer X6 to be the last one if for no other reason than I love the Sigma battle. That and how would Sigma come back from that state? Sigma was barely functional, fueled almost entirely by his hatred for X and Zero. ...oh well...
Bluesit32 From the looks of things it seem crapcom was planning to retcon the whole X series (especially if you look into that MMX game on PSP) but then somewhere along the line they got a change of heart (probably not enough profit for them to milk) and just completely drop the whole thing down into infinite hiatus bin.
Bluesit32 Well, X5 was supposed to be the last Mega Man X game, then the series would have moved on to the Zero series which would have been much different than what we actually got. Capcom however made X6 behind Inafune's back and well fucked up the continuity.
TheBlues32 FUCKING Shadow Devil here really pushes it as well, a Remix of MM1's Yellow Devil Theme, the background will flicker with the Wily Insignia at times, Shadow Devil is weak to the Thunder Beam remake, and it TURNS INTO A FREAKING WILY MACHINE as a desperation move
Yellow Devil isn't even hard. He just has a set pattern that can be memorized. This guy is an entirely different story as he is completely random and is definitely one of the hardest bosses in all of Megaman.
Though even Shadow Devil looks harder than he actually is. While he does have access to different movement patterns, he only has three normal ones (the ones where he moves his entire body across the stage) and two where he keeps you pinned in the middle. These individual patterns never change, so when you learn how to dodge them, he falls pretty easily. Yes memorizing the patterns initially can be difficult, but once you get it down, it becomes the same drawn out fight that all Devil bosses boil down to. He becomes even easier if he decides to mold into his other form where he tries to stomp you as it becomes easy to lead him and deal a ton of damage to him.
can you quote inafume with sources? did you play the english translated games? they did omit alot of stuff from them, mostly in the process of westernization. its way different in the japanese versions.
Probably since they never finished the series. Story wise, the Zero Wily built is the same as in Megaman X physically. Maverick hunter Sigma fought the crazed Zero and won. The result was total memory loss for Zero, and a malicious data transfer to Sigma. There is no confirmed information because it was always designed as a overarching mystery with breadcrumbs left in each game. At one point in X5 Sigma flips out because Zero refuses to act as the "Old Man" programmed him to.
sounds like it's a perfect theme for a mad scientist trying to get his revenge from beyond the grave.
He ain't a mad scientist he's _pissed scientist._
Ok
Dumb scientists
Man the shadow devil reminds me of Fury Bowser
This should also be Dr. Weil’s theme.
When I first entered the room, I couldn't really figure out the distorted image in the back at first. Then I realized. The moment I noticed that it was Wily's logo, my heart kinda stopped a beat. Then the MM1 boss theme started to play, and then a fucking Devil appeared? You have no idea how many emotions I felt through those 3 seconds

Judging by that, I'd say that the Shadow Devil is the Yellow Devil that has mistaken X as Megaman.

Even later comments, even greater best.
Kuririnite future comments are the best
When I first got to the Boss' room and this started playing, I shouted NO WAY. A repetitive, yet iconic and badass theme
Almost what, a century later? Wily is trolling Mega Man’s descendant from the fucking grave.
This music, this boss, the "W' in the background in Sigmas 2nd form and the fact he said to Zero "I met an interesting person",
all of them show that Zero and the Virus are Dr. Wilys creation.
respect
Watch dookieshed's megaman theories video, it explains EVERYTHING.
Did I say :
_"the "W' in the background in Sigmas 2nd form"_ ?
Correction: the "W" is in the bacground on the stage in which X and Zero fight each other.

Sigma also hinted at Wily still being alive in some form. Unfortunately, they seem to have dropped that subplot, completely.
The ultimate troll boss in the X series thus far.
trolled from megaman 1 (classic 1987 game)
X5 was bad, and it was filled with throwbacks to classic and early X, throwbacks are not what it needed
Ratty524 I like megaman X(granted I've never played it,but he LOOKS COOL WITH DEM LEGS
Cloudmonkey
throwbacks doesnt make it bad.
remember that sigma is still coming back
@@somefries3101 sigma symbol is a W turned 90 degrees to the right...
This game is the reason why I’m so intense like imagine growing as kid and megaman x5 being your first game to play or any of the megaman games
Same here
This is the first Devil I've faced throughout all of the Megaman games. I've finally experienced and realized the hate towards Yellow Devil many people experienced. Damn, am I glad the Game Over didn't require me to restart the entire stage, otherwise, I would've went ape sh*t!!
And also the only boss that actually tested my patience (I have a lot of).
The first Devil I fought was Block Devil in 10. Except I did it in Easy mode so I didn't find out until later about falling out of his room. Even without that he was pretty difficult and his stage was the most annoying.
so i know im not the only one who started with megaman 10, the game where the classics FUCKING DIED.
I actually started with 9, which was absolutely brutal, even compared to the other games. At least that game's weapons are awesome to make up for it.
Well, I know one thing for sure: A Megaman 1 game over would probably be the only game that would increase my patience endurance, because if not, I'd bail faster than those blasts from Megaman's Mega Buster.
I love coming from the original megaman yellow devil theme to this theme... it's like..
"ah yeah... nostalgia.."
and then
".... holy shit this got real"
I spent 1/3 of my total playtime on this boss. Yeah, it was that hard.
How long does the boss usually take?
mine is 5 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Devil will always return, no matter what color he is😬😬😬
Why does everybody always complain about the randomization?
You only have to concentrate on one line!
I'm unsure. However I do remember that if by accident you jump into his shape, he deals a ton of damage.
As Zero all of his moves are instant kill!
But by ducking you don't have to worry about anything but the bottom line.
AmericanDutchGuy except when you have to jump.....right into row three and take a hit there, trust me its a lot worse then you think, especially on EXTREME
alternatively use hide in the corner trick
This was originally going to be called "Metal Devil" with a silver body, but they changed him to black in order to emphasize his eye markings. Wow, Inafune! You did a great job with this boss!

So much jumps
So many crounches
***** also Wily Machine form
and lava demon in megaman zx.
Too bad the MMZ devil suck nuts compared to MMX devil. They could at least give him wily's machine form like they did in MMX5.
Rainbow Devil was the most colorful boss I've ever encountered in a Megaman game.
Reminds me of Dr.Wiley's grudge, bitterness and bile toward Dr.Light and his creations
Impossible. They made Yellow Devil worse. And they even gave him a second form, which happens to be the final boss of Mega Man 5.
6*
Sadly, the Mega Man 1 Hax doesn't work on him...
Another way he's worse.
Dr Wily obviously improved his shit.

This is still the most terrifying even because it's pretty much literally Wily's revenge from the grave, ghastly

Then he transforms into the last bosses of some of the previous Megaman games. That's when shit gets real."
blocks, blocks everywhere
yoshi coins
This theme is sooo dark & ominous, I love it :D
the musics way cooler than the actual boss
If someone edited this to use the other megaman x instruments (like the ones in storm eagle) this would be even more amazing
Sir I think I found what you’re looking for: ua-cam.com/video/x2g6V-0EkIQ/v-deo.html
@@Mr_bukowski4435 Finally one of these comments that actually did find what I was looking for insted of being a bot
They should have used this song for the Wily Bosses in Rockman 1 Complete works...
Too bad X5 came after them :/
After Bass was created, in Megaman Power Fighters (bass ending) it did state that Wily was building a new robot (Zero). Bass was introduced in Megaman 7 so it had to be somewhere after that time. Megaman X is a new type of robot based off of the original megaman, but with human emotions. I get my knowledge from the games I play.
This fight was one of the highlights in X5. X5 was a great game and it surprised me actually since some of the previous games weren`t that great. Still waiting for X9 and MM 11.
I lost it when I recognize this song when I played this game: The Wily Bosses from Original Mega Man game. Thank you Capcom for bringing back my memories. :D
I still remember when I 1st heard this song. It bought back painful memories of MM1 and the 2nd thing was Not you again.
Seeing this Devil show up in the final stages made me wonder how it was possible even though there was that obvious W in the background. Almost as if Wily or Sigma got a hold of whatever data there was of the Devil and corrupted it with the virus.
Of course I don't know if there was an explanation as to how this monster even came back.
It's data this exist in cyberspace find by sigma
Its still odd how the cyberspace works in that game. The fact sigma hinted to working with "someone" in there made me think a Wily AI simply used the data of a Devil but the virus in the cyberspace corrupted it. Also I doubt sigma would have gotten a hold of something that ancient since its as if everything during OG megaman's time is long gone except some stuff.
@@Animeman1993 data was just already corrupted
Sigma just find here
I suppose. Kinda wished they added more to the lore of it at least.
@@Animeman1993 yeah it's simple lore ..
I like how the theme sounds like the boss theme from the original Megaman 1
FUCKING YELLOW DE....
Oh wait,wrong timeline!
No, just missed in a 100 years :)
Poor johnny
FUCKING RAINBOW D-
Again wrong Timeline,
Gemini Man [And every Robot Master] There's a rainbow devil? If there is, what game? What stage?
Mega Man Zero 1, 2, and maybe 3
damn you shadow devil why u so BADASS
hard*
yellow devil pls
That picture...
Is genuinely terrifying.
first megaman series, now he comes for a revenge on megaman x series, its weird why he comes back but still....
Shiki Nanaya and its really the Revenge of the FUCKING Yellow Devil, unlike the original it has some quirks, first off, it can spawn the eye in various places(Still weak to Thunder Beam though),the Swapping is much more chaotic and with no cycle it takes, it can stop mid shift and start swapping from both sides, and then it can turn into a freaking Wily Machine, add on the Remix of the Theme as well as the Wily Insignia flickering on the background sometimes, and you see his revenge at hand
Cloudmonkey its suicide to fight it as Zero
***** i know xD i beat him sometimes but its a hell to beat him
***** he just came to take revenge for beating him on the original Megaman games xD
+Shiki Nanaya actually with zero it was easier because when he started to throw its blocks from both sides i just spammed zero's giga attack to grant it temporal invincibility and with that i evaded a lot of damage.
I still laugh whenever people say this is harder than the original Yellow Devil... NO. EFFING. WAY!
Against Shadow Devil, you can duck, you have Sub-Tanks, the weapon that's its weakness gets a full recharge every time, and most importantly, you respawn at the boss's door even after a Game Over, making it way easier to practice against.
i am the only one who likes this song?
i like the music also
No i like it too i mean it LITARALLY tells you you are fucked.
Yes, it is a theme that is cool but means you can be either fucked up or fucked up
I love this track
Things that make my soul enter in deep agony: Shadow Devil theme and Lavender Town theme.
I could never beat him as a kid... but the good thing is that I can listen to his (one time only in the game) theme
"Alright, what's the boss? ...I recognize that music. Is that a distorted W in the background? Wait, these blobs- Oh. No! We can't escape from him even in the future..."
I like how they brought shadow devil back in Devil May Cry 5.
Where?
El diablo de los videojuegos encarnado en una forma física. O_o
Probably the coolest looking Devil in the Megaman series
I had bad flahsbacks with my first gameplays hearing this now
Played this outside of my house on Halloween night, scared a shit ton of kids lol.
Awesome.
Damn. Lol
this is the credits theme in the recently discovered x5 prototype, which due to the credits not being in place yet, uses x4's credits screen, so you just get to see the final weapon exploding with this music playing
Proof?
@@Daidek you may wanna check TCRF for the july 28 2000 build of x5
Sin duda el tema más épico
The first time I arrived with him after passing the Quick Man Stage (yes, Quick Man's, if someone didn't realize it's the same Stage, only adapted to the X series) I didn't recognize him from the music at first Until I saw a black ball approaching from behind followed by others in different positions, that was when I said "don't screw me."
It goes without saying that the first attempts tore me apart, after 45 minutes I was doing the trick in its first phase (he kept massacring me but I already knew more or less how to hit him in addition to already knowing his weakness), then In almost an hour and a half I managed to drop 3/4 of a bar and that was when I switched to the Willy Machine from Mega Man 6 and with one stomp I took off almost half a bar of life making me an insta kill.
I almost crashed the control on my television XD, luckily I found the trick of staying up in a corner by pressing the jump button like crazy to avoid his body when it was divided and it became much easier, it cost me almost 2 in total hours to beat him, but it was a great satisfaction to see him explode and finally pass that level.
wow, esta cancion la he estado buscando x años
IMO, if a short movie like about 6 mins or so was done with good animation and this music was playing in the BG. It would be pretty good, although the song will have to be remixed or something to give it a variety of ways to make it awesome!
This get's a 4 star. * * * *
EVIL CHURCH THEME!!
VenomLeon LoL i just realized that
I LOVE THIS MUSIC THEME 😅😅😊😅😄😈🤘🤘🔔🔔🎵🎶🎵🎶🎼🎼🎹🎹😈🤘👻👻👻👽👾👽👹👹👿😈
You cant smell evil without a Organ
I played MMX5 blind on an emulator last year, and I got SO MUCH PTSD after hearing MM1 boss theme start to play. I spent more time trying to beat the Shadow Devil than the FINAL BOSS.
This sounds awesome when dubbed with the NES Yellow Devil song.
Unfortunate, this one's a bit faster so it desyncs after a few loops.
Why am I discovering this today ? September 23rd 2022...this is awesome
Can Shadow Devil be in Pokemon as a Ghost/Poison or Ghost/Water type? That would be great.
Ghost/Water type? WHAT?!
joão carlos I'd say Dark/Water, or Dark/Ghost
Cloudmonkey What is so water about him?
joão carlos I'd compare it more to Mud, sentient mud, but since we have no Mud type except Water/Ground maybe, and Shadow Devil deserves Dark type, Dark/Water
Cloudmonkey Well, now that makes more sense.
Oh man the Shadow Devil. This music and picture make so many bad memories of fighting this damn thing over and over just to get killed when you nearly got him...frustrating.
***** That wasn't reall my problem - I can do the Yellow Devil just fine without the Pause Trick.
He mostly killed me in his "Wily Ship" Form.
how well the devil plays the piano
whats this pausing glitch and how can i use it?
[lol i know not in this game but whatever]
The Original Super Saiyan In MM1, Thunder Beam the devil, pause the screen (Select or Start), unpause, pause-unpause until devil is dead. Works on ice man too.
Koopinator As Nigel said, the key is in the early MM games Pausing and unpausing would reset the status of sprites in some manner, MM1 had a Full Mercy Invincibility Reset, which put Thunder Beam into God Grade with its large size, essentially you fire the Thunder Beam and then spam pause and whatever you be facing will die fast
Teacher: He's your final
*Music plays*
Oh boy...
I still remember how I struggled to defeat the original Devil...
And when I played this game and saw this dude, I just went like this:
".... Really!? A rematch against the Shadow Devil!?"
I soon lost my last live (Lost the others with the Force Beams*
And I didnt play the game for long.
This one and mega man 1 version make you go...
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
this brings me bad memories of playing this game and being stuck here
even up till now i still cant beat this thing even with all 3 armors
Talk about a plot twist that went nowhere. Ever since X2, Zero's been hinted as Wily's creation. By X4, it was pretty much a given, but that he also created the original Maverick Virus. X5, however, suggests that Wily may still be alive. X6 has that one reploid that looks suspiciously Wily-esque...and triggers a memory in Zero's mind as he looks upon the fallen shell.
And then the plotline is dropped completely. I would LOVE to know where Sigma learned about Zero's past...who built his giant body in X5...the whole thing. The X series should have stopped with 5 or 6. I'd prefer X6 to be the last one if for no other reason than I love the Sigma battle. That and how would Sigma come back from that state? Sigma was barely functional, fueled almost entirely by his hatred for X and Zero. ...oh well...
Bluesit32 From the looks of things it seem crapcom was planning to retcon the whole X series (especially if you look into that MMX game on PSP) but then somewhere along the line they got a change of heart (probably not enough profit for them to milk) and just completely drop the whole thing down into infinite hiatus bin.
CuriousPersianCat So instead they created...Axl. Well...didn't we luck out?
CuriousPersianCat At least we'll have Mighty no. 9 to revive the legacy that Capcom screwed up
Bluesit32 Well, X5 was supposed to be the last Mega Man X game, then the series would have moved on to the Zero series which would have been much different than what we actually got. Capcom however made X6 behind Inafune's back and well fucked up the continuity.
TheBlues32 FUCKING Shadow Devil here really pushes it as well, a Remix of MM1's Yellow Devil Theme, the background will flicker with the Wily Insignia at times, Shadow Devil is weak to the Thunder Beam remake, and it TURNS INTO A FREAKING WILY MACHINE as a desperation move
I have been wanting this for a LONG time myself.
Music could easily be used in a castlevania game.
*Vietnam flashbacks from the 1st game returns in my mind*
Yellow Devil isn't even hard. He just has a set pattern that can be memorized. This guy is an entirely different story as he is completely random and is definitely one of the hardest bosses in all of Megaman.
+Symes With Da Rhymes Dang, at last someone that _can play Mega Man_. I thought I was the only one left.
Though even Shadow Devil looks harder than he actually is. While he does have access to different movement patterns, he only has three normal ones (the ones where he moves his entire body across the stage) and two where he keeps you pinned in the middle. These individual patterns never change, so when you learn how to dodge them, he falls pretty easily. Yes memorizing the patterns initially can be difficult, but once you get it down, it becomes the same drawn out fight that all Devil bosses boil down to. He becomes even easier if he decides to mold into his other form where he tries to stomp you as it becomes easy to lead him and deal a ton of damage to him.
SpiralPegasus A lot of people can play it, you’re not special.
I Play Megaman X after the Megaman Classic Series , Yellow Devil always scare me , I Play MegamanX5 , i see this :
HOLY SHIT !!! HE BACK !!
Listing to this and doing homework.....most intense math ever
This boss is hard as fuck with Zero.
As soon as I recognized this theme I knew I was in for some real shot
A freaking hour, playing non stop to beat this boss as a child
After that battle... this song haunts me in my sleep, it plays during my nightmares... * fetal position*
can you quote inafume with sources?
did you play the english translated games?
they did omit alot of stuff from them, mostly in the process of westernization.
its way different in the japanese versions.

Oof xd
Everybody's hearts skipped a beat once they knew that the shadow devil was behind the boss door
Dr Willy's theme
Probably since they never finished the series.
Story wise, the Zero Wily built is the same as in Megaman X physically. Maverick hunter Sigma fought the crazed Zero and won. The result was total memory loss for Zero, and a malicious data transfer to Sigma.
There is no confirmed information because it was always designed as a overarching mystery with breadcrumbs left in each game.
At one point in X5 Sigma flips out because Zero refuses to act as the "Old Man" programmed him to.
shadow devil is strong as fuck
classic music from my favorite mega man boss
