Being the first game in the series debuting on December 17, 1987. It is understandable that it didn't have 8, but we will cover each of them, so here we go. ------Cut Man------ Difficulty: 4/10 Rolling Cutter-- 4 Collision------- 4 Cut Man is not hard at all to Duel with the Mega Buster. Not only does he get knocked back from your shots, but he also takes 3 damage per shot, thus letting you defeat him in 10 hits. Basically, when the battle starts run to the right and land on the bottom floor of the room right in front of him and shoot him before he has the chance to throw his Rolling Cutter, he should be knocked back, try to hit him again before he throws it off, if you do manage to hit him a second time before he throws it off, he should jump and throw it, otherwise he will throw it from a standing position, which isn't hard to dodge either, just jump over it and run under him, try to stand against the wall if he is on your left or against the blocks if he is on your right, that way you can run under him if you need to and still have enough space to dodge his Rolling Cutter, and he should be toast. Video Link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTmKIuz18g4 Cut Man's Fight is from 0:01 - 0:33 ------Guts Man------ Difficulty: 4/10 Boulders--- 4 (Both Small and Full Size do the same) Collision-- 4 Guts Man, like Cut Man, is not hard at all to Duel with the Mega Buster. While he doesn't get knocked back from your shots, he doesn't really move around enough for that to make any difference. He also takes 2 damage per shot thus letting you defeat him in 14 hits. Basically, when the battle starts Guts Man will Jump, and when he lands he will shake the room. If you are on the ground when he lands Mega Man will be stunned for a moment and will be left open to be hit by him, so jump right before he lands, but don't jump too soon otherwise you will land before he does. Stay on top of the Boulders at the beginning of the fight to allow a better jump to get around the first boulder he throws. After that, move down to the bottom floor, being down here will let you hit him 2 times per jump he does. Shoot him as you jump and when you land. If he jumps straight up, when he lands a boulder will fall into his hands and he will throw it at you, if it hits anything it will split into 4, when he throws it at you jump over it. It isn't that hard to avoid so you shouldn't have many problems getting around it. If he jumps forward or backwards at all, he will only shake the room. He is quite slow and takes 2 damage per shot, so he should go down fast. Video Link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTmKIuz18g4 Guts Man's Fight is from 0:34 - 1:02 ------Ice Man------ Difficulty: 8/10 Ice Slasher-- 10 Collision---- 4 Ice Man is one the most difficult of the 6 Robot Master's from Mega Man 1, and he is also one of the most difficult in the entire Classic Series. Pretty Much you have to be a master of precision jumping in order to win in a Mega Buster only battle against him, not only that, he can kill you in 3 hits as well. At the beginning of the fight he will hover in the air, firing 3 Ice Slashers at you as he slowly comes back down to the ground, let the first 2 go over you and jump between the second one and the third one. Now, he will hover from the ground up into the air, shooting them as he goes up, now you must jump over the first one and come down between the 1st and 2nd one and stand under the 2nd & 3rd one as they go over you. Do your best to hit him as you are dodging the Ice Slashers, once you get down how to avoid the Ice Slashers he isn't so bad. Until then though, just keep at it. Video Link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTmKIuz18g4 Ice Man's Fight is from 1:03 - 1:46 ------Bomb Man------ Difficulty: 4/10 Hyper Bomb-- 4 (Includes the explosion and being hit by the bomb itself) Collision--- 4 Bomb Man is not hard at all to duel with the Mega Buster. He is a little tougher than Cut Man or Guts Man, but not enough to put up a tough fight. Like Guts Man, he doesn't get knocked back from your shots, but he takes 2 damage per shot, letting you defeat him in 14 hits. When the battle starts he is going to jump around the room, try to keep your distance from him, and run under his bombs as he throws them at you, or run away from them if you are close to him. He may move around kind of quickly, but not so quick that you should miss him that much. His Hyper Bombs have kind of a big blast radius, so watch out for them and try to avoid running into Bomb Man himself, try to run under Bomb Man when givin the opportunity, otherwise if you try to jump over him, he will jump into you. Overall, not a difficult fight. Video Link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTmKIuz18g4 Bomb Man's Fight is from 1:47 - 2:14 ------Elec Man------ Difficulty: 10/10 Thunder Beam-- 10 Collision----- 4 Elec Man is by far in the Top 5 most difficult Robot Master's in the entire classic series to Mega Buster Duel with. He is very fast, jumps all over the place and can kill you in 3 hits. Basically when the battle with him starts, shoot him right off the bat, he should be knocked back by your shot, immeaditly jump onto the blocks to your left! Keep the high ground the best you can. ONLY SHOOT 2 SHOTS! That way if, for some reason, you should mess up, you have a back up shot. Bascially once you're on top of the blocks, just try to keep the high ground and it should make dodging his Thunder Beam a bit easier, if he gets it off, just jump over it swiftly and accuratly. Good Luck! Video Link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTmKIuz18g4 Elec Man's Fight is from 2:15 - 3:05 Also, the strategy for fighting him in Wily Stage 2 is a bit different, I explained how to do it in the commentary. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0ubW8vo4kU ------Fire Man------ Difficulty: 7/10 Fire Storm-- 4 (Includes the fire left on the floor as well, both do 4) Collision--- 4 Fire Man is one of the harder Robot Masters to buster only fight, not THE hardest, but one of the hardest at times. What you will want to do, is wait at the beginning of the fight for him to walk up to you and shoot at you, DO NOT SHOOT AT HIM UNTIL HE HAS WALKED UP TO YOU! Once he has shot at you, jump over the shot and shoot him and he will retaliate with a Fire Storm Shot, Just shoot when you land and jump over his counter shot, if you get too far away he will start unloading Fire Storm's left and right on top of the counter shot, so you will want to try and stay about a 1/4 screen's distance away from him, try and dodge the flame left behind on the ground the best you can, most of the time the flame on the ground will disappear if get out from above it. Good Luck! Video Link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTmKIuz18g4 Fire Man's Fight is from 3:06 - 3:33 ============================================================================== --------------------------------BONUS BATTLE!--------------------------------- ============================================================================== Here we will cover some Extra Robot's that I always considered 9th Robot Masters. Basically it's just Mega Man, Dark Man, and Fake Man. To See the strategy's for Dark Man and/or Fake Man then check out my guide on the Mega Man 5 or Mega Man 9 FAQ Page. ------Mega Man------ Difficulty: 6/10 Mega Buster----- 4 Rolling Cutter-- 4 Super Arm------- 0 (He just runs back and forth) Ice Slasher----- 4 Hyper Bomb------ 4 (Only the explosion does damage) Fire Storm------ 4 (Both the Fire Storm and the Smoke Shield do 4) Thunder Beam---- 4 Magnet Beam----- 0 (He just runs back and forth) Collision------- 4 Mega Man vs. Mega Man? WHAT?!?! I am talking about the Copy Robot Battle from Mega Man 1. The Very First Time Mega Man ever fought himself. The Copy Robot will mimic whichever weapon Mega Man chooses to use. Which in the case of you reading this guide, that weapon would be the Mega Buster. Everytime you hit the Copy Robot, he will be knocked back. His runs just as fast as Mega Man does, but he jumps a lot faster. When the fight starts, shoot him and run to the left and stand against the wall and constantly jump and shoot 1 shot and then shoot another one when you land, if you rapid fire, the Copy Robot will go crazy with jumping all over the place, so take you time with shooting, try to keep the Copy Robot on the other side of the room, but if he manages to make his way over to you, try to jump over him, shoot him and then make way for the other side of the room and repeate.
