There is a boss level in this game that is crazy as hell. I forget the name.

Magma Man is actually one of the easiest bosses to beat once you figure out his pattern. Trust me, you can face him and never take a hit if you know where to be and when to jump.

But, that's one of the things I find so amazing about this game.

Mega Man is really only as hard as you make it to be. It's actually an easy game, but it's all patterns. The entire damn thing, and until you figure out the pattern of each level, you'll do more than you need to.

Seriously, Magma Man's level is all about jumping. The mid-level boss is the hardest and yea, there are weapons that make it easier to get through.

Galaxy Man is a walk-through of a level. You can almost get through that without firing a shot. Seriously.

I'll second that about Galaxy Man's level. It's ridiculously easy.

I just started the Wily Stages. I got to the boss of the first one but died. Booooo.

Oh yeah, and after fighting all 8 bosses in the order I fought them, I only found one that had a weakness with the weapons I had previously earned.

Don't worry, you'll learn the weaknesses really fast, about the time you hit the last Wily stage...

Exactly. It's like this whole game is the Mile High Club level in CoD4. Frustrating as hell until you get the right technique down.

So far, I have found no weaknesses with the weapons I have. I have beaten three bosses, reached two others, but died in the process.

I'm beginning to think that Concrete Man and Galaxy Man weapons are for other purposes.

I mean, really, how is Concrete Man's weapon going to hurt anyone? It's actual purpose seems to be allowing you to reach items or make a tough jump.

Galaxy Man is a controlled stagnant weapon that pretty much wipes out any enemy you face. But, trying them on these bosses that run around like maniacs and I don't see how it could work.

Granted, I still haven't faced certain bosses, so I'm just speaking out loud.

And I don't want the answers. I'm going to keep trying.

Those weapons do affect certain bosses, and will have other uses as well.

I freaking love this game.

You can get through almost every single level without firing a shot (well, technically; you have to fire at those things that move back and forth at a faster rate the closer you get to freeze 'em).

I still can't believe this game is tearing me away from NBA 2k9 and FIFA. Wow.

Yes, I finally found the boss that does not like the Galaxy Bomb.
