Mega Man 7 is a really easy game... until this sucker shows up. Then it goes from a funny experience to a kaizo living Hell. I guess that's the main reason why many people hate this game (I don't)
Just to inform that you could use Thunder Volt on Willy's first form instead of the buster. So basically you wasted the whole time just using the buster, and also there is a tricky. That you can prevent Willy from releasing the small mini skulls. When he jumps all the way up you need to stay very close where he lands. Then when he lands he will just jump the other side. So you won't have to worry about it. Sometimes he will release the mini skulls but not all the time. And that will prevent from you getting damage. On his last form just to inform, you can only hit him twice. If you try to do it again is just a waste of time. Also there is a way to tricky the energy orbs, but that only works if he is way above you need to stay under him when he fires the orbs. You slide to the other side then you can jump all way from it. But the best method in defeating him is trying to hit him twice. Because if you hit him only once every time he appears will take a lot of time. From the orbs if you can't dodge it try at least get hit by the frozen instead of the fire one. Or if the electric one appears try to get it since causes less damage than the others. Because either the frozen or electric orbs will prevent you from being hit from the fire one.
Fun fact: When I was little, I saw the trailer for the mobile port of the game on the App Store, and it ended with Sonic saving Amy and a banner for the game. That trailer alone made me think Stardust Speedway was the end of the game.
Honestly this boss isn't that awful. it will rock your shit in the first attempts but all you gotta do is learn how to dodge the attack whenever you can't reach him. most of the time just stand under him, wait for the orbs to appear, then immediatly slide and go to the screen border, then jump towards them when they move. Works most of the time.
I played through megaman seven, and boy this was cancer, the first phase was ehh ok easy, but the capsule for the love of god is hard, you can only hit him when he is close to the ground because of the godamn spring, and the spheres that he throws at you deal so much damage, let alone i had to fight it twice because of legacy collection's time attack
I think because Tails unexpectedly landed the last hit as Robotnik was programmed to temporarily move off-screen, he yeeted out of there double quick time!
As a child I always defeated him with ice... I still think that the most difficult boss in the entire Megaman saga... if you never knew his weakness, what's more, the spring weapon does not create any reaction to discover it being a child... A few years ago a friend invited me to his house to beat this Willy in Megaman Collection XD and I did it with ice. ha ha ha.
Nothing amazing but watch Geoff and Tim Follin in the credits, also Steve Ruddy who helped building the sound engines on NES and SNES for the Follins and RARE in the special thanks section. Oh, and the drawings of Plok's little animations are neat.
La pelea con el segundo willy fue estupidamente larga, y extremadamente dificil. Porque? Porque era estupido y no sabia la debilidad de cada uno, y me reusaba a ver un gameplay, y decidi jugarmela asi, y pase horas y horas tratando de derrotarlo, incluso dias, mi unica salvacion para esta pelea era dejarme golpear por los ataques amarillos, que tan jodido debe de ser esto para llegar a ese punto. Pero cuando lo derrote pufff fue un alivio enorme
This fight was so sadistically difficult that Mega Man was about to defy the Laws of Robotics and go Maverick before that was even a thing, only to be stopped because he still had to follow said laws (the "Die Wily" line was just added in the EN version and is not canon)
Wily: That was close, what is that Light up? Hey is that my double gear system? WHAT?!! Mega Man *X* ?!!!! *Wily spends days and nights to make Zero in fear of Light busting out X on his butt.*
