Mega Man 8's a common citation of infamously terribad voice acting in gaming, but having finally finished it for the first time on Switch, I'm surprised I hadn't been made aware of the divisiveness surrounding the Jump-Slide segments. I say "divisive" because between a quick Google search and the above video, there's fans who can practically beat this with their eyes closed and others, like me, who endlessly fall into the molten depths of Dr. Wily Hell; good god, I was stuck on the Wily Castle iteration for days. Even after I got acquainted with the sign telegraphing (the lights blink whenever you have to jump) or the Astro Crush trick (your board stalls in the air whenever you summon meteors), I could never situate my board's position to the speedy auto-scroll, let alone memorize the lay of the land to cheese Astro Crush or gauge my jumping distance (Okay, so do I use it..here? Ugh, no, I didn't jump in time!)
I hear Mega Man 9 gets pretty brutal, but I imagine whatever's ready to hand my ass to me will actually be, uh, fun. Right? In the event you have pitch-perfect reaction, what else deserves the crown of Hardest Mega Man Level?
(Anyway, MM8 was thoroughly average otherwise, IMO -- it looked nice, but I found the gimmicks on top of frequent visual overload to be overkill, and I never found myself humming along to the music. At least I got the below video out of it -- poor me forgot Rush Coil wasn't in this one!)
