Turbo Man & Spring Man fails as bosses..

[O Ilusionista]

why, Capcom, why?

[Trinitronity]

Okay, it's "TurboMan", not "TuboMan".
Other then that, we get some good ol' Noise Crush Glitch action.

Yeah, it's not so much the bosses as it was the weapon. Clearly they should of payed a little closer attention to it. I always liked Turbo Man and Spring Man, not to mention MM7 was probably my favorite of the series due to the ending.

That's some great beta testing by Capcom.

I can forgive them for this since this was an unexpected glitch that requires some crazy timing to pull off.



I can't forgive them for Harpuia in Megaman Zero 1.

I can't forgive them for Harpuia in Megaman Zero 1.

Forgive me for asking but what's wrong with Harpunia in zero 1?

Striking Harpuia with a charged Z-sabre with his weakness would make him do the same exact attack. It was easy to avoid and you had enough time to charge to strike him again making him repeat the same move AGAIN.

It made the fight much easier than it should have.

Sounds more like MPR (Megaman Pattern Recogniztion) than a glitch or bug.

No no, it's worse than that. He literally repeats the same exact move.
He doesn't use his other moves or other patterns.

He just does his triple slash projectiles as long as you keep hitting him with the weakness.

All of the other bosses changed moves when hit, Harpuia is the only one that repeats the same one.

[Jelux Da Casual]

To be fair, there are a generous amount of bosses in Megaman lore that reset their attack when hit. I'll not bother with listing any because that statement can't really be refuted.

Aside that, Harpuia was always a plot progression boss rather than an item/skill collection boss. Maybe they felt it was just better to be able to find a lock so you could just move along in the game faster...? Grabbing at strings-sure, probably am. But meh, I don't think it was terrible of them that he's like that.

The first Megaman Zero game didn't have much in the way of skills. Just the ones you got from upgrading your weapons through use and the element chips.
