"We'll stick to every other weapon in MM3, thanks." Even Spark Shock?

Junk shield is super useful.

People love to make fun of Top Spin, but it's not that useless. I'm pretty sure the inconsistent use of energy when you use it was a glitch, and not as the game designers intended it (after all, the game, itself, was rushed out instead of waiting to be properly finished). However, there's a weapon even worse than Top Spin that should have been number five on your list. At least with Top Spin, you can kill several enemies with it, as well as the final boss. But the even more worthless weapon is Spark Shock. It's only good against one boss, and it can't kill any enemies. All it can do is freeze one enemy in place, and if another enemy bumps it, the first enemy is freed and the second enemy is now stuck. I have never found any place in Mega Man 3 where that was a useful ability.

7:31 Muppet Christmas Carol reference. lol

The Astro Crush from Mega Man 8 was amazing.

Tecnically in megaman powered up, GutsMan could just pull out blocks from nowhere to throw them Not useless anymore!

Very nice collab-list there. I liked that you set out guidelines to avoid the metal blade, good way to change it up from the usual lists! Also, loved that little Muppet Christmas Carol-reference! ^^

0:29 .. I’m so mad I didn’t know I could use Bubble Man’s weapon for this

Am I the only one other than the Speedster who liked the Top Spin? OK, I do understand why people hate it but I still like

if you watch a game called Fegaman Vs The world (here on youtube) you can see the developer found out an awesome use for the top spin... DOUBLE JUMP! In that game, the top spin is used for double jumping! And it's awesome! Exclamation point!

Very solid list right here. You guys actually took time to do it. And I appreciate taking consideration of secondary uses. And there’s no need to be afraid of liking Hornet chaser, one, it’s your list. Two, it’s a good weapon, why do you need to hide it.

I was actually surprised how good and creative this list was. Keep up the good work.

In my personal opinion, I found little use for Time Stopper, Flash Man's weapon from Megaman 2. Reason I say this is because while it is true that it stops time long enough to work your way through a tough spot, for example if you were being ganged up on by some enemies, however it's also worth remembering that you can't fire your buster (like Flash Man can, which is SO unfair) nor can you be crafty and use a different weapon (for example, freezing Quick Man and slapping a Crash Bomber onto his head). I can see where some might find it particularly useful at times, but the same can be said for weapons like Top Spin or Charge Kick.

Found Bright Man's flash was also surprisingly useful in Mega Man 4

i loved this list, i honestly think you two did great. i honestly loved the humor on this one keep it up

The bubble lead takes out those spring enemies, tells you where fake floors are, and is the only weapon that can take down Alien Wily.

I'd have to say his most useful weapon is not on the list. rush. you can fly on him, he can become an adapter suit, motorcycle, underwater car, spring board....and don't say he doesn't count, he DOES have an energy meter.

3:39 smash stole this idea, totally!!!

Bit surprised you didn't include Metal Blades. Far as utility goes, aimable, near-infinite, high damage, fast long range projectile is pretty darn hard to beat. I mean, yeah, it doesn't have an extra functionality but it is one of the most versatile weapons in the franchise so I think it deserves a spot.

for me Guts Man's weapon is kinda useful, i always use it to play around! i wish you could rearrange blocks not just throw it away

I don't really like to classify weapons as useless. I'll agree to super arm but thats it. In any game that gives you a variety of unique weapons, i always love fucking (excuse my language) around with them to see what i can pull off. And Power Stone is meant to be used while stationary, not while moving (Just Sayin)

You forget Time stopper in megaman 2.This one is useless.

I love the originality of this list. Just for this, you have earned a subscriber. Your explanations made perfect sense, keep up the great work!

great list and good job on your first co-op one cj

That part about picking up an enemy and throwing them... I think Nintendo stalks CJ's channel a bit excessively, don'tcha think?

I hate why everyone says that Spring Man is Out of Ideas Man. Sheep Man is clearly the TRUE Out of Ideas Man.

I facepalmed at the "BAAAAAAAAAD" sheep joke by MrOrangeJinjo at 7:13, but you turned it around with Mr.Patch. Bravo, great work guys.

Oh my god. I saw this video ages ago and now I've come back and so has the nostalgia. :D

I kinda disagree with Top Spin. Top spin is ok, though it wouldn't go near my favorites. I would say Power Stone is the worst because at least the Super Arm was useful when it can be used. (You forgot to mention that the Super Arm is needed for the Magnet Beam.) The other ones I agree with.

2:24 holy crap, the game just glitched!!!!

@RedFrenzy64 No it's just whenever I get a video done. Unless it's a video that's on push-start in that case I need to make another review or top ten before I can upload those here. There's no set time it's just whenever a video is done.

Managed to find this in my recommended. Amazing time capsule here.

sheep man is actuly one of my favorite

Whatever. MEGA CHEWBACCA MAN!

Will you update this list to feature the weapons from Mega Man 11?

Fun Fact: Sheep Man was just a tribute for Philip K. Dick, autor of the book "Do Android Dream Of Electric Sheep" another fun fact is that "Blade Runner" is based on this book.

Spark Shock is useless.. except in Smash bros.

Isn't metal blade from mega man 2 useful?

I actually agree with both #1s, but in megaman powered up(where you can play as gutsman) Gutsman can create blocks to throw, protect himself, and for platforming, unfortunately Megaman himself is still stuck to picking up the ones that are laying around.

7:27 you got to love the Muppets reference in this video

Great list man

Where can i find Mr. Orange Jinjo? I can't seem to find his channel.

My Opinion 5: Hornet Chaser ( Mega Man 9 ) 4: Thunder Beam ( Mega Man 1 ) 3: Fire Storm ( Mega Man 1 ) 2: Black Hole Bomb ( Mega Man 9 ) 1: Metal Blade ( Mega Man 2 ) Worst 5: Power Stone ( Mega Man 5 ) 4: Thunder Wool ( Mega Man 10 ) 3: Spark Shock ( Mega Man 3 ) 2: Shadow Blade ( Mega Man 3 ) 1: Top Spin ( Mega Man 3 )

That little Gutsman animation scared me a bit because of how sudden it was.

@cjszero01 Maybe not, but something is bugging me about your choice for 1st useless. IIRC you at least need it before completing Elecman's stage for the same reason you used Elecman's weapon. If you are where I think you are, then how did you get it?

In Mega Man and Bass, there were three weapons that especially stuck out. The Ice Wall (it serves offensive and defensive purposes and is powerful), the remote mine (it can be guided slightly and be detonated remotely) and especially the magic card (Can be shot forward or upward, retrieves items and had good ammo)

awesome vids dude

What episode/video was that muppets quote from, I kinda forgot

Are you gonna do more of these videos with other people?

'What's the point in having all that strength if you can't do anything super cool like, pick up an enemy and throw it?' Well, Sakurai listened to you when he was making Smash Bros it seems

how did you get charge kick in chargeman's stage, because you need to defeat him for the weapon and same with elecman's stage where you don't have his attack to destroy the rocks

Actually there was a short clip of MM6 at the beginning of the video, it's the part when I show the cover for Megaman and Bass.

what is that tune in the beginning?

question: Is your picture the desktop icon for Sonic CD?

References to "The Muppet Christmas Carol"? This video is officially made of awesome.

random question.in what megaman game did Protoman first apear in?

what game was the thunder claw from?

My Opinion ( My Rules ) Best 5: Ice Slasher 4: Commando Bomb 3: Metal Blade 2: Black Hole Bomb 1: Fire Shield Worst 5: Charge Shot 4: Super Arm 3: Thunder Wool 2: Power Stone 1: Shadow Blade

@Leishmaniasisably You'd still be surprised by people asking "Why wasn't this on the list?" even though I've made it clear that it's just a personal list.

Mega Man 10 has FOUR weapons that don't work on direct contact. That's half of the weapon roster (excluding the three additional ones). It's both good and bad, I think. Bad because you occasionally forget and you have to be very accurate with how you control it, but good because it makes you think a little about strategy.

The charge kick can be used on one of the darkman bosses, if you time it correctly (so you get frozen mid-kick) you can do 1/4 health off of him as he stands in the kick

I agree with you there. The weapons in Mega Man 5 are some of the most underrated because you actually need to THINK when you use them, not just mow down every enemy in sight. I agree when you said the charge kick. The power stone, however, bounces off of almost every enemy in the game you might need to kill with a sub-weapon.

what's metal blades good against?

I am rather surprised no one brought up the Tornado hold. Not only is it damaging, it also allows you to access higher areas that a normal jump can't make and also save you from Spikes in that same regard.

I don't remember it exactly, but I think it was wood man, that gave you this weak shit weapon where leaves would orbit you, and using the weapon would your energy bar extremely quickly and the attack was impossible to aim effectively

I actually complete agree with this list... That doesn't happen often. You laid down concrete rules and stuck to them. Good Job!

i have never played the megaman series but you guys prepared me for what powers to use or to not use

@RedFrenzy64 I'll try and get them done sooner but they really do take a lot of time.

@SwedishKuriboh When I first came up with this list I knew I had to do something different so the predictable Metal Blades wouldn't show up. The reference was his suggestion. I initially wanted to do another part from the movie but it almost felt forced so I decided to use this one instead.

Ah~Its always fun to discuss weapons and what order you go to in defeating the robot masters~!

I actually like this list, you did a good job of giving evidence why you felt that way about certain weapons, but I'd like to chime in. Blackhole Bomb did have a secondary function and it was a really good one, it could destroy those invincible ground chaser enemies that have plagued megaman since forever and it could eat incoming projectiles, so it was offense and defense.

The Commando bomb is useful for opening up other areas as shown in the video. And unlike the other bombs you have control over this one and it's shockwave is quite strong.

It was pretty good for me. The fact that it can bounce off walls and you can use it as a sorta extra boost for your jumps. Also it REALLY helps out on Wily Castle 1 boss.

And here comes Mega Maker, making two of the most useless weapons super good.

Though not entirely USELESS, Flashman's Freeze weapon was only useful in Quickman's stage (and I've beaten Quickman's stage 1000 times without Freeze)...I can see other times in play where it *might* be useful, but the fact that you turn it on and you can't turn it off until the power runs out limits its utility severely...on top of the fact that you can't shoot anything and still take damage running through enemies while it's active.... Great video guys, earned a new subscriber.

5:34 The Top Spin's energy gauge isn't unpredictable, but the reason for it wasting the entire gauge within a single hit sometimes is because even if an enemy or boss is invulnerable to Top Spin, it will still count as a hit, which drains energy.

The best part of the Topspin is that it twoshots the final boss. Besides that, it's burning a hole in your inventory. And though I agree that the MM5 weapons suck, the Charge Kick has a special place in my heart.

And how exactly would you know that?

What if you could pick up enemies or items with the super arm?

wait... what are the top spin and thunder wool's second functions?

If you did play Megaman and Bass, most of the best would be it's weapons. Wave Burner gets rid of those TNT blocks, Ice Wall can be a platform, Remote Mine can be steered in any direction except behind you, Magic Card picks up items, and that's really it.

Yes thank you for a new video Cj

Man, I forgot how awesome that old intro music was.

mind if i ask where the tornado hold from megaman 8 is because that weapon was not only powerful but great for navigation Other than that great lists

Although lasers are some of my favorite things, I found the gemini laser to be fairly lackluster: 1) like so many other weapons called 'laser' it actually fires a geometric broken line, like the blaster bolts of star wars 2) dodging a laser...you can't really do that unless you have precognition enough with the foresight to not be in a particular trajectory at a particular moment for a certain duration of time. So it's more like a glowing bolt of energy, which star wars lore changed to once their vidya producers became more cognizant of this. At least the piercing laser in MM8 was a little more faithful to the concept of an actual laser. 3)SLOW, made even worse by the game engine having some lag. 4) same reflection/inflection pattern, and it does this no matter what surface it hits. Even if it isn't reflective. 5)Shitty damage dealt to enemies for power consumed. Many enemies were simply immune to it, while others got some damage but it really didn't do a lot to them, others it worked fine. However this was few and far between. Mostly it was weak, useless, and just consumed a lot of power. Marginal weapon.

@knucklesSilver7 I wanted to use other honorable mentions but my Dazzle is unreliable at times, otherwise I would've put the Tornado hold on there.

don't forget that gutsman as a playable character in powered up can summon blocks at any moment.

Nice video very good !

what about the other megaman franchise weapons?

I don't do Let's Plays, I do Time to Plays, and while I'm out here in South Korea don't expect them to happen unless it's a classic game I really love..

At the beginning of the video we said we excluded the Metal Blades.

Grazie for using a Muppet Christmas Carol joke!

Haha, nice reference to the Muppet's Christmas Carol on #2 worst weapons.

@Threadnaught you could always just play through the level again after beating it.

Concrete shot should have made the list or at least an honorable mention. That thing is so useful. I use it all the time to make platforms and the energy usage is great.

Nice video. Also, speaking of Megaman, could you do a countdown based on the X series?

I feel flash man's power should be on there as well. It's only useful in quickman's stage dodging lasers.

excellent vid guys, i was wondering if you were gonna do one for megaman X? i happen to favor the chameleon sting myself.

5 Best- 5.Pharaoh Shot(MM4), 4. Napalm Bomb(MM5), 3.Needle Cannon(MM3), 2.Noise Crush(MM7), 1.Screw Crusher(MMII). 5 Worst: 5.Rebound Striker(MM10), 4.Leaf Shield(MM2), 3.Water Balloon(MM8), 2.Time Stopper(MMPU), 1.Plant Barrier(MM6).

Thunder Claw also acts as a pretty good attack taking out most of the smaller enemies in one hit as well as getting through the green devils defenses.
