I've never played all the way through MM7 before so I decided to beat the game today. I've played MM1-6 and breezed through all of them. Easy but awesome games. This afternoon I cleared the 8 bosses without a problem and got to Wily's fortress.

The game got harder but it was still pretty easy, that is... until I got to Wily.

His first form is very annoying, I was forced to use an E tank as for some reason my rocket punch wasn't killing his minions as it should. I finally offed him and that is when the real trouble began.

THIS GUY IS FREAKIN NUTS! :mad: It takes PURE luck to beat him, he sends out these orbs which take half your life away, and there are four of them that come at you very fast. I think I managed to get him to 1/4 life and that was after using 2 E tanks... (I used the coils) I almost slammed my controller on the ground, but good thing my senses kicked in, didn't want to buy a new contoller :p

I've read up on GameFAQs and apparently thats what it all is: luck. Is there some lesser known secret or trick that works every time with him?

EDIT: OMFG I actually beat him... TOTAL LUCK. I only managed to dodge two of his attacks(yes its THAT hard) but I used those charged W. Coils and pwnt him. Definitely the hardest boss I've ever faced in a game.

Congrats! ;)

Thats the spirit, never give up. Last boss fight I had trouble with was Ares in God of War, but I kept playing until I beat him. It was so satisfying when I beat him. :)
 
Ha! you think thats hard, MegaMan 1, the first fortress Boss -

The cyclops. I pretty sure he is near invicible (seemed like that last time I fought him anyways).

This cyclops is alot different from the one in 3? or was it 4? but same principle, just bigger and faster.

I havn't played seven, but anything that takes away half your life is hard.
 
Gill, the "boss" at the end of SF3: Third Strike is pretty damn hard. By that I mean, cheap.
 
The Yellow Devil in mega man wasn't too hard once you get used to the pattern, and the pause trick does certainly help :p
 
Yeah, Wily's final form in Mega Man 7 was a huge pain. I could beat the first form every time without getting hit, but when I finally beat the second form I still went through all of my tanks.

It wasn't a final boss, but I think Metroid Prime's Omega Pirate may be a little tougher. Metroid Fusion's Nightmare took me quite a few tries too.
 
Mega Man 7 hard??? Dr. Wily in his 2nd form is easy as long as you are fast in dodging. Doesn't he use ice (freeze), fire (damage over time) and thunder orbs(heavy damage), followed by a lightning blast ? The orbs are easy to dodge, as you can time them, they always make 2 moves, then one final attack where they move off the screen. You can time your jump so that they start moving towards your original peak jump position as you fall, then you just slide out as they try to hit you as they move out, always missing. Sometimes Dr. Wily pops too close for you to be able to get much room for dodging, in those cases I will usually try to at least aim to be hit with the ice orb (minimal damage), at which point I shake left and right to get out of the freeze to move out in time before the lightning blast hits me. Very doable without using an energy tank.

Dr. Wily in Mega Man II (first time you meet him) was much tougher when you played in difficult mode. Also, his 'alien' mode can only be hit with the Bubble Crash which you have to time right, and if you ever run out before he dies, you not only can't beat his form anymore, but since the weapons don't recharge and don't have a way to power them up in the last stage, you basically can't beat the game anymore even if you have 10+ lives. Of course nowadays, I breeze through Mega Man II, but I easily consider it to be harder then Mega Man VII.

Still, Mega Man games aren't what I consider to be very high on the difficulty stage. Now the Mega Man X games on Playstation are hard, but that's frustrating hard and not much fun.

You can use the Electric Shock exploit on Rock Monster by shooting it once on him, then quickly pausing and unpausing, each unpause causing a hit =). Very cheezy of course, but he isn't too bad to beat even without using it. One of the harder bosses devised by Capcom and a classic that likes to reappear a lot. I think the Rock Monster version found in Mega Man X 5 is the toughest out of them.
