#MegaManBattleNetwork #20thAnniversary
A few months ago, I was on my way to complete my MMBN1 guide, before my laptop broke and caused me to lose not only all the footage, but also my progress in the game. Now I'm back for revenge.
This is a compilation of every boss in the game, on their strongest form (V3 for most of them, SP in Pharaoh Man's and Shadow Man's case), defeated with an S-Rank (except the final boss, Life Virus, which doesn't give a rank when defeated). To obtain an S-Rank, you need to take down a boss without taking a single hit and in less than 30 seconds. This sounds like a great challenge, right? Wait until you see how broken this game can be.
For all of these battles, I'll be using MegaMan at Level 100 with the same folder every time, containing 5 FighterSwords, 5 KnightSwords, 9 HeroSwords, 1 Mine3, 8 Invisible3 chips and 4 ProtoMan3 chips. All of them with B code, so every turn allows me to select all the chips available. The strategy is to make MegaMan invincible and then slash away until the enemy is down. ProtoMan3 is one of the stronger Navi chips, as well as one of the components for 2xHero, the best Program Advance in the game. Gathering all the chips for this folder is quite easy if you use the chip trader and farm ProtoMan fights, it only takes a ton of time. But as you will probably see, it's absolutely OP.
Here are the timestamps for the fights, you're welcome, phone users:
0:00 #0: Folder showcase
0:27 #1: Fire Man v3
1:17 #2: Guts Man v3
2:19 #3: Number Man v3
3:06 #4: Stone Man v3
3:54 #5: Wood Man v3
4:47 #6: Ice Man v3
5:37 #7: Skull Man v3
