Magicman DX · Posted: Sun Nov 06, 2005 9:57 am Post subject: Boss Weakness Theory

I'm just wondering.. about megaman boss weakness
i can understand why iceman weakness is thunder beam or why swordman weakness is water baloon but there are more boss that the weakness i can't understand like, why aquaman weakness is astro crush
and why waveman weakness is charge kick.
i want to know about the theory of it.anybody know about it?

Eh, there's no real theory per se. It's not like they design the bosses to have one stronger than the other; they just make the logical strength-weakness connections first and use the leftover weapons and bosses afterwards.

let's think out of the odd, now what would Waveman be weaked by? and what would Aquaman be weaked by? Not that electricty will work forever, 1st of all, Waveman and Aquaman are not elemental bosses, they are machine that contain element, and think about the stages around them. *is gonna use Aquaman for example*

Aquaman stage is fill with water, now image this, Megaman using electricty, he and Aquaman will all be zap, now if he were to used Astrocrash, only meteorites will be falling, perhaps it may damage the place, but what does it matter?

Seriously I don't know why, nor do I think Capcom did it for personal reason, but their is a reason behind every attack, we just need to get our noddle running, if I figuer out anything new, I'll let you know. Great question to ask!

yeah but i think always use logical theory for the weakness i've heard cause elecman had a high voltage supply for his ability so if he hit by rolling cutter from cutman he's power become out of control i've heard it on a website but i never found that website again so i still wondering why crstalman weakness is gyro copter and other weakness still searching for it!!

Maybe Gyro Copter would shatter his crystals? Well, one weakness I never really got was Frostman's weakness. A grenade? One that may seem illogical but actually makes sense is Astroman's weakness to Homing Sniper. He isn't prepared for real combat, seeing as he lives in a holographic world, so when something he knows for sure is going to hurt him is coming, he does what everyone else would do: panic. Also, Tenguman's weakness didn't make sense until you thought about it as well: Tenguman represents a bird (A Tengu is a type of bird, right?) and if he's frozen to the ground, he can't fly. One I'll never get, though, is Bubbleman's weakness to shurikens in Power Fighters.

I think the Flame Sword would have worked a lot better for Frost Man's weakness since fire melts ice. Also, in MM7, what's with Shade Man's weakness? Why would a coil be his weakness?

New question: Why is Shadowman weak to Centaurman's arrows in Power Fighters? And I haven't found out Searchman's weakness yet, but part of me thinks it's FlameSword, and that wouldn't make sense. Now the biggest weakness that I'll never get is the Robot Crab from RM8's weakness to the RockBall.

Well, I never used FireSword on Searchman before. But it does make sense nowthat you explain it. And I know we're thinking too much about something simple. Why? Because it's fun ^_^

Maybe it's the same as with Hephaistos works (I mean the greek God).
Everything he created had a weakness what Hephaistos did becaus he sayse "only Zeus is perfect!".

It's actually a bit more complicated. Weaknesses are not based on elements, they are based on practicallity. There used to be sites that examined these weaknesses but they have since been shut down, to my dismay.

Aquaman's power comes from his built in water tank. The astro crush is a high power and impact attack that can crack and rupture Aquaman's tank. If the tank leaks, Aquaman's power greatly diminishes.

Fireman is a fire robot, and naturally he runs really hot during battle. It's only natural that he have a powerful cooling unit to counter the heat of his attacks and protect his inner system. The ice slasher makes the cooling unit too cold, causing it to freeze and lock up. Without the cooling unit, fireman would eventually burn himself out.

Elecman works on Electricity. Electricity needs a current, which is only possible if the circuits holding it are in a complete circle. If his circuits are cut, his electricity becomes defused and he becomes useless.

Shademan flies, and the only attack that can reach the height at which he hovers is Springman's coil. It's not a matter of what weapon hurts him, in this case, it's what weapon will work best. I think it might also have something to do with the springs cutting his wings, but I doubt it. Springs aren't usually very sharp.

Zan is right about Searchman, but I'd also like to add that Searchman is a long range attacker. At close range, with swords, he's practically useless.

As for Freezeman, It's a common rule that big robots are succeptable to explosives (gutsman anyone?). The flash grenade is made of slow burning phospherous, which burn away Freezeman's icy hulk and leaves his core exposed.

I can bull up more if you want.
