My idea for X9 Mavericks: Clay Viper (based on Nuwa), stage: Excavation Site, weapon: Clay Soldier (fires a blob of clay which turns into a humanoid statue when touching the ground, then goes forward until hitting an enemy and exploding. If charged encases all enemies touching the ground in clay), weakness: Mirage Beam Wave Gavial (based on Varuna), stage: Great River (Ride Chaser stage), weapon: Wave Fang (fires a blade of compressed water which travels vertically once it hits the wall. If charged, summons a wave which acts as a platform, killing the enemies who touch it), weakness: Thunder Hammer Black Sun Crow (based on Amaterasu), stage: Shinto Temple, weapon: Black Sun Mirror (a shield which reflects up to eight shots from all sides. If charged, creates an even larger light barrier around the player which stays on for a few seconds, killing all enemies it touches and protecting from all attacks), weakness: Jungle Assault Jungle Jaguar (based on Tezcatlipoca), stage: Aztec Ruins, weapon: Jungle Assault (fires boomerang discs made of leaves. If charged, fires a tornado of leaves forward, which damage enemies multiple times similar to an uncharged Storm Tornado), weakness: Forging Flame Thunderous Bull (based on Zeus), stage: Sky City, weapon: Thunder Hammer (shoots a powerful lightning upwards, which then splits into two weaker bolts which strike one right in front and one right behind the player. If charged, it's a screen nuke), weakness: Clay Soldier Shaman Wolf (based on Odin), stage: Moonlit Taiga, weapon: Shadow Bite (fires a homing orb of dark energy. If charged, fires four at the same time), weakness: Black Sun Mirror. Metalwork Boar (based on Vulcanus), stage: Metalworking Factory, weapon: Forging Flame (fires an orb of molten iron which sticks to enemies, immobilizing them. If charged, fires a bomb of metal which explodes into chunks that damage enemies), weakness: Wave Fang. Illusion Ibis (based on Thot), stage: Desert of Illusion, weapon: Mirage Beam (fires a shot which reflects off walls. If charged makes you invisible), weakness: Shadow Bite Hope that you like them
@@loren6102 I know, but I intentionally chose a crow because not only is X7 a bad game that everyone wants to forget about, but crows are sacred to Amaterasu I intentionally wanted to make a cooler Wind Crowrang
@@loren6102 Sorry if I wanted to use the MM6 country gimmick for the Mavericks and use animals sacred to deities all around the world (China with Nuwa, India with Varuna, Japan with Amaterasu, Mexico with Tezcatlipoca, Greece with Zeus, Sweden with Odin, Italy with Vulcanus, and Egypt with Thot), and the animal sacred to Odin is the wolf, while Amaterasu is the crow.
@@loren6102 X7 needs to be forgotten. Something as cool as a crow being wasted on X7 means that another crow should be made as a way to leave X7 a special middle finger
So with Shield Shelldon, his weapon actually is extremely overpowered if you use it as *Zero* specifically- not X. When using it, a shield will generate for some time in front of Zero, you can then use it to *shred your enemies to pieces.* Basically what happens is if you just move the shield to an enemy’s hit box and do some very specific preparation, it acts as if you are swinging the Z Saber with a turbo controller. It’s broken and once you realize its power, it’s so satisfying to keep using.
I agree with most of those picks. Magna Centipede is my favorite maverick but gets no love despite amazing theming, 2 great mini bosses and good boss AI
@@mattbell3638 hey its the same person as that was my old channel. Here is my remastered version X1: Chill penguin X2: Magna Centipede X3: Crush Crawfish X4: Storm Owl (all time favorite) X5: Squid Adler X6: Commander Yanmark X7: Splash Warfly X8: Avalanche Yeti
Wire Sponge, seriously he looks nothin' like a sponge and guess what, he's based on a plant called "luffa" might as well just being called "Wire Luffa"
15: well yes the boss fight is a joke but i think tunnel rhino is pretty cool in my opinion, when you die in the 2nd faze on his stage he actually more challenging and he has alot of drills which is awesome: volt catfish is worse. 14: stings chameleon looks pretty mischievous which is great, the charged attack of sting chameleon is pretty useful, and his theme is pretty cool: the only 2 down side of him is that giant robot you have to fight which is so annoying, it's very hard to hadoken sting chameleon and with his weakness he's pretty much a joke. 13: split mushrom🤦🏻♂️ How?!? His design is pretty chibi, the stage is more like some abandon factory, his voice fits him, the stair sections are pretty awesome and he's pretty cool: x4 has some awesome mavericks seriously Magmard Dargoon, Slash Beastleo, Frozen Kibatodos and Storm Fukuroul are my favourite mavericks. 12: wheel gator is just plain annoying, his design is not that creative, his grab attack is frustrating because you don't know when he he'll be coming, you have get the heart tank by getting hit by one of these triceratops bullets and if you're to late you get hit by the spikes, getting the buster upgrade is a nightmare you have to climb the wall, dash jump of the wall & use wire sponges ability: overall getting that fucking buster upgrade should be enough to make this maverick look bad. 11: hmm? I don't know what to think about this maverick yet because I haven't got into x8 yet. 10 I have mixed feelings with DuffMcWhale although his design is good enough and the boss fight is pretty interesting, other than that his stage is the worst in this game the music is just an average remix of bubble crab, the auto, scrolling sections are a chore, the giant ship you fight is bland, it reuses Frozen Kibatodos stomping sounds and you revisit this fucking stage twice as x: it's like if capcom didn't care about this stage. 9: shield shellfish design looks uninspiring, his stage has some puzzles which is interesting but his boss fight is a complete joke. The weapon you get for x is useless as shit but the weapon for Zero in the other hard is just fucking broken. 8: crystal snail stage is pretty good the heart tank and helmet upgrade are descent to find, the boss fight is pretty creative, the weapons you get is decent, the boss design isn't that bad and the fucking music is radical: this maverick is one of the high tears of x2, I'll take him over Magna Centipede any day. 7: Blaze Phoenix is why x6 is fucking bad, you have fight these donut mini bosses 5 times, there's a these flame thrower are just like Burn Dinorex but it doesn't have an indicator, the music is repetitive and the boss fight does put up a fight but like any other maverick in x6 it's just easy: the only good thing to come up with this maverick is the cool design. 6: wire sponge well his design is bland, the weapon you get is terrible and the weather mechanic doesn't work at all, but other then that the stage design is pretty cool, the boss fight is my personal favourite in this game, the music is awesome and this stage also looks cool: this maverick is a great introduction to x2. 5: snipe anteater design is passable, but this stage isn't that great there's a mechanic that turns the stage upside down and inverts you're controls which is annoying: this maverick is nothing special to talk about, overall the mavericks are just forgettable and uninspired other then Splash Warfly & Flame Hyenard. 4: burn roster looks pretty cool and he's the last maverick you fight just like fire man: overall i haven't got into x8 yet. 3: infinity mijinion although I don't know what a fucking mijinion is, his stage is so easy you can beat it under a minute, there's a giant cool robot that trying to attack you, the Secret room in this stage is awful, the Heart tank and Capsule are easy to find, the rails are a nightmare, saving the Reploids in this secret area is also a nightmare and the weapon you get from X is even more op then Grizzly Bash: other than that this maverick isn't great by along shot but this maverick is 1000 times better then the worst maverick of all time Aka Ground Scaravich. 2: vanishing gungaroo personality is annoying, the boss fight isn't good, but he's has a pretty cool mech so yeah: overall gungaroo isn't that interesting. 1: Flame Hyenard the worst maverick don't make me laugh, his design is awesome, he thinks that the maverick hunters gave him a back injury, he can clone himself, he's the only character in this game to have good acting, his music is kick ass and he gives you ear candy aka "WOO! BURN!! BURN TO THE GROUND!!!"
Damn, the roster in X7 must've REALLY been bad for the onion-based Tonion not to make it on this list. Although my guess is that he (along with almost every other Maverick in X7) is a very close dishonorable mention.
+Blaze Heatnix I can get behind that. It may be 3D, but at least you can mostly speed right through it. If I had a least favorite in each that I've played, it'd be Flame Mammoth, Wire Sponge, Tunnel Rhino, Cyber Peacock, Duff McWhalen, Ground Scaravich, Hyenard and Optic Sunflower.
+Marshall Elder Actually, Burn Rooster beats out Sunflower. At least Sunflower's stage can be beaten easily with Axl's Blast Launcher and Zero's D Glaive.
I remember playing some of the X series on Rookie Hunter mode, but if there's one Maverick stage I'd consider bad, it'd be this Necromancer fish. IM LOOKING AT YOU, METAL SHARK PLAYER.
Flame Hyenard isn't even in my top 15. I can't hate Flame Hyenard when X7 has Snipe Anteator, Vanishing Gungaroo, Ride Boarski and Tornado Tonion, which, in that order, are my top 4 most hated Mavericks. And Burn Rooster's inclusion makes including Hyenard redundant Here's my revised top 15 after many years: 15) Cyber Peacock 14) Duff McWhalen 13) Blizzard Buffalo 12) Sting Chameleon 11) Optic Sunflower 10) Crystal Snail 9) Wire Sponge 8) Volt Catfish 7) Blaze Heatnix 6) Burn Rooster 5) Ground Scaravich 4) Snipe Anteator 3) Vanishing Gungaroo 2) Ride Boarski 1) Tornado Tonion Dishonorable mentions (the worst of each game that wasn't included here): Flame Mammoth, Wheel Gator, Gravity Beetle, Frost Walrus, Grizzly Slash, Metal Shark Player, Flame Hyenard, Gigabolt Man O' War
😂😂😂 Oh my Goodness! I think Infinity Mijinion looks very funny in my opinion, but it's getting harder, although I love the final countdown. It's one if my favorite songs in the 1980's 🤣🤣
I love Flame Hyenyard,His design in awesome,His stage is great,His stage theme is awesome and an interesting boss Also I can get a laugh about the constant"BURN,BURN,BURN TO THE GROUND,BURN,BURN TO THE GROUND "
15) Not bad, but Tunnel Rhino is my second least favorite in X3. 14) Wow, someone finally put Sting Chameleon on a worst maverick list. I completely agree with AeroDragon. 13) Split Mushroom isn't one of my favorites but he's still a cool maverick. 12) Again, not one of my favorites, but still nice. 11) Ugh... 10) Freaking U-555. 9) Honestly a forgettable maverick. 8) I don't hate Crystal Snail, but i don't like him either. 7) Donuts of Pain. 6) (insert Spongebob joke here.) 5) This boss fight can die in a fire. 4) Burn Rooster is actually my personal favorite in X8, but to each their own. 3) Read number 12. 2) Read number 8. 1) This maverick can BURN TO THE GROUND!
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap 15 15: he is okay 14: oh f*ck you 13: read 14 12: read 14 again 11: bad stage, then again only overdrive ostrich, and jet stingray are the only good ride crasher stages. 10: dude why do you say that he is really bad he is cool. 9: he is a cool maverick with a cool design to me. 8: read 9 7: he a meh maverick to me. 6:wire sponge is bad but is very cool to me. 5:ladies and gentleman, welcome to the epicalt seisure frenzy 4: cool design and level but mediocre boss fight 3:cool design but hard boss fight and level 2:... why would you say that because tornado tonion is worst than this 1: only agreeable option
yeah because he is hard to not hit by his clones that and he has a attack where his is clones do this move up and down like a diagonal line. He can make more clones to the point to having 10 of them
I love how no matter who makes a Worst Mavericks list with their own picks, everyone can unanimously agree on Hyenard being the worst. I can def agree too.
Sting chameleon, wheel gator, and burn rooster aren't bad Mavericks. Also, how is burn rooster very high on the list and how is he worse than gigabolt man o war?
Worst per game: Mega Man X - Flame Mammoth Mega Man X2 - Crystal Snail Mega Man X3 - Neon Tiger Mega Man X4 - Split Mushroom Mega Man X5 - Grizzly Slash Mega Man X6 - Rainy Turtloid Mega Man X7 - Flame Hyenard Mega Man X8 - Optic Sunflower
In my opinion Tornado Tonion is worse than Flame Hyenard, Duff McWhalen is worse than Grizzly Slash, Rainy Tutloid is awesome, Blaze Heatnix is the worst in X6, Split Mushroom is awesome, Sting Chameleon and Spark Mandrill are worse tan Flame Mammoth, Flame Mammoth is awesome, Blizzard Buffalo is slightly worse than Neon Tiger, Wire Sponge is slightly worse than Crystal Snail and I agree only with Optic Sunflower.
Peter Williams Here's mine Mega Man X-Flame Mammoth Mega Man X2-Wire Sponge Mega Man X3:Volt Catfish Mega Man X4:Split Mushroom Mega Man X5:Duff Mcwhalen Mega Man X6:Infinity Mijinion Mega Man X7:Tornado Tonion Mega Man X8:Optic Sunflower
Monica Schons I only agree with you on rainy turtloid, split mushroom sucks and grizzly slash is a mixed bag. I hate split mushroom because his design is stupid and his fight is freaking annoying. As for grizzly slash, his design, stage, and weapon are cool, but his fight is just pathetic.
Am I the only one who finds it weird Vanishing Gungaroo is on this list but Tornado Tonion isn't? I mean, a Wallaby's a natural animal, but this is the same game WHERE YOU FIGHT SOMETHING YOU PREPARE WITH LIVER.
Of course this is your opinion but... I fail to see what's the problem in basing a boss in a hyena. You claim many of these bosses are uninspired because of the animal selection when personally, the problems that I have with them is the weak design or horrible stages they get, not the animal they choose. In a series where there is "Chill Pinguin" and a "Cyber Peacock" (wich personally is a great boss battle if you don't abuse it's weakness) I can't see how an ant eater, a hyena or a kangaroo doesn't fit. Also, I really disagree with your opinion on Sting Cameleon. You seem to hate boring boss battles and yet somehow you describe one of the only challenging maverick boss battles in megaman x as if it was unfair. You say he doesn't belong in X's amazing roster and well... again I can't see how a pinguin doing ice statues and sliding is so superior to the point where he doesn't belong. I love storm eagle for example, but just as chill pinguin, flame mammoth and spark mandrill he's too basic to be considered a challenge. Only armored armadillo, launch octopus, boomerang kuwanger and sting chameleon save the original x game from being inferior to the other entries in terms of challenging and fun maverick battles. I can see how you could be meaning to describe chameleon's battle more as tedious instead of unfair or hard, but then again those mentioned have way more boring, repetitive patterns. Designwise are all great though and storm eagle has one of the best stages in a megaman x game. Don't get me wrong, again I know it's your opinion and if you simply can't enjoy the boss fight there's nothing to do about it, but I needed to express why I really disagree with that one being inferior to the others.
A Hyena is cool, and in fact I think the awesome design is one of the few redeeming qualities of Hyenard. But a Kangaroo and an anteater don't feel threatening.
@@vittoriopugliese3352 Well, Megaman characters aren't always imposing, or at leas the animal that they take inspiration from aren't many times. Personally, I prefer creative and varied bosses so that's better and many of the most popular ones aren't based on imposing animals.
@@rodrigocaceres2879 I for instance managed to really appreciate the designs of Split Mushroom, Frost Walrus, Rainy Turtloid and Shield Sheldon (and I find strange that Aerodragon bitches about the fact that the latter is a clam), but I did not like the design of Blizzard Buffalo, Volt Catfish or Avalanche Yeti.
Well, as usual I agreed with some things. Disagreed with others. Believe it or not, Snipe Anteator, Burn Rooster, and Infinity Mijinion are some of my favorite Mavericks in the series. I'm not kidding. Also, I like Wheel Gator. Don't worry, I'll explain. Snipe Anteator: Yes, I find it stupid that Capcom can't spell. But I personally like Snipe Anteator's design. That and I find his stage to be an interesting concept... despite it being extremely easy if you know the right paths. Seriously if you know where your going, the stage is very easy and one of the shortest in the series. At least it means it's fun for me to speed through it. I do also like his homing weapons. Compared to most other weapons in X7, I find it quite useful. His fight could've been better honestly. He's kind of a combination of luck and skill to me. This comes from his attack where he decides to send his drones after you. They're extremely hard to dodge. That and combine how Snipe Anteator can basically move to places where you can't hit him and launch his attacks? Yeah. I wish his fight was better, but it doesn't stop him from still being my personal favorite Maverick in X7. Burn Rooster: My personal 2nd favorite Maverick in the whole series (next to Flame Stag in X2). Yeah, I said it. Awesome design is already there for one. Then there's his stage which I honestly don't find to be that bad. Yes, it has vertical scrolling. But scrolling stages usually don't bother me too much depending on how their designed. This effectively makes me like the 2nd scrolling segment and I personally like the room that's between them. Yes, being careful and patient is the name of the game. But I still consider it to be a form of skill and it's not the only case in the X series that as done this. Burn Rooster's fight is definitely on the harder side, but it's for the right reasons. It's like a game of reflexes to me. Which I heavily love. It's my favorite form of a hard fight. Reflexes and reaction. His attacks are never impossible to dodge to me. They come out very fast and are quite hard to avoid at times for sure and can catch me off guard. But again, reflexes. I also liked the concept of escaping his stage after beating him with rising lava... if it didn't move so slowly. That and his weapons could've been better. There are better weapons than that. It's what keeps him from being my personal #1 (again, Flame Stag). Infinity Mijinion: Can I just say that I actually like his design? Yeah, for some reason it amuses me. That and his weapons are pretty useful... not counting the uncharged state of X's weapon. I actually do like his stage. Again, skill is involved here and possibly pre-planning. It's a case in X6 where I feel it's difficult but at least for the right reasons. There's not really much to describe the stage besides that to me. I do wish the fight was better though. His fight is extremely frustrating and it's not exactly difficult for the right reasons. No really. I don't like the fight at all. He's still my personal favorite Maverick in X6, but his fight could've been done better. Wheel Gator: Okay he's not my favorite Maverick in X2, but I wouldn't call him one of the not so good ones. In fact I quite like the guy. For his design, fight, and weapon (charged). His design is quite awesome looking honestly. His fight, yes. It's long. But long fights to me doesn't immediately mean tedium. As long as there's enough going on, I cannot call it a tedious fight. Watching out for his bite, paying attention and dodging his Spin Wheels, yeah. It has quite a bit going on to at least keep it interesting to me. There are still better fights out there though. The uncharged Spin Wheel really isn't the best thing in the world. Charged though, it's quite useful. I really like that spread shot it makes. Also, this may not be about Wheel Gator, but may I just point out that X2 is my favorite game in the series and has one of my favorite line ups of Mavericks in the series? Yeah. Your X3 is my X2. The only Maverick in X2 that I really don't like is Wire Sponge. That's it. Keep in mind, this is just my personal opinion.
I consider Mijinion one of the only pains in the ass done right! Mijinion is not a pain in the ass: his cheap stage just symbolizes the apocalypse and the fact that humans will never be abe to completely control nature!
Vittorio Pugliese I thought I explained why I didn't like the fight. Apparently not. I personally don't like the fight against Mijinion due to the large amount of random variables. Yes, in some cases it's shown to be the random variables known as reflexes. I'm fine with it being random what attacks he decides to use, even the bubbles (by far in my opinion his hardest attack to deal with). It's his cloning (not randomized) and how the only attack they do are the bubbles. As such, dealing with the relentless bubbles while dealing with Mijinion's randomness all at once with many, many bubbles on screen? thank goodness the clones can be destroyed, but that tends to add a little thing I personally really don't like in a fight. Luck. Not just regular old luck. I mean luck in the sense of times where something just because it decides to is impossible to dodged or get out of without taking damage or dying. That's without his weakness though (X or Zero).
Curiosity Man I beat him with the freaking Z-Saber believe it or not! And i know that Infinity Mijionion is hard, but the symbolism is enough to redeem and also make me appreciate that Maverick.
15. This guy, neon tiger, and blizzard buffalo bores me to death. 14. Why do everyone hate sting chameleon? He's my 2nd favorite maverick in X1. 13. Agreed. His fight was such a pain! 12. What's wrong with wheel gator? He's pretty cool. 11. Fuck this stage 10. This guy literally bores me to death. 9. Pretty much forgettable. 8. Goddamn bastard slows down time. 7. Those freaking donuts! 6. A lame version of Pickle Rick. 5. This guy is such a HORRID! 4. I strongly disagree. How is he worse than Gigabolt? 3. Read 13 2. Meh. I don't hate him, but I don't like his either. 1. Nuff said Also, where's flame mammoth? He's a fucking elephant. Where's volt catfish? He's infuriating. Where's neon tiger? He's just a simple boss. Where's ground scaravich? He's a shit beetle. Where's ride boarski? He's tedious as hell. Where's tornado tonion? He's just an onion! And where's optic sunflower? A sunflower maverick was a terrible idea.
For the X-Buster upgrade in Wheel Gators stage, climb to the ledge near the capsule and use the air dash right when you drop off the wall. Way simpler than using the godawful Strike Chain
Mic quality notwithstanding, this was a good countdown. To clarify, when you're talking in the montages the quality's okay, but when you're on camera it really has issues. But the rest it pretty good, on par with classic QuarterGuy.
15- could've been better as a setting and boss. Most of the time I started with Buffalo because it was more interesting. 14- hated that scaly bastard. Seriously, I spent hours trying to beat him. 13- screw that Astro Man-ripoff and his stage. 12- the fight is tedious, and you can't even escape his bite. 11- I still wonder why did they have to turn X 3d. That driving sequence was a pain in the cheeks. 10- back-scrolling is stupid, and is even more pointless because the rest of the stage was DULL. 9- Even Pokemon has clams more threatning than that chump. All that sacrifice only for a useless weapon! 8- the stage is kinda fun and the music is cool and kinda calming, but the boss is tedious and the reward is null. 7- that donut can eat a stick in hell. Also, how can you fuck up a PHOENIX, something even Marvel can't fuck up? 6- Easiest map and Heart ever. 5- Lesson for Capcom: Megaman X should've NEVER been 3D. The reverse map is my nightmare. 4- same as 5.
Shield Sheldon's design was cool, the fight OK, the stage also OK. I wouldn't put him as a worst maverick, in a game that has Blaze Heatnix, Ground Scaravich and Metal Shark Player in it.
About Shield Sheldon... Your wrong about the weapon. If you use Zero and attack a maverick, if the enemy is touching the guard shell, the invulnerability frames reset which means you can hit an enemy every 60th of a second. If you have Enzuisan, guard shell breaks the game hard.
Oh. And I'd say Gungaroo is worse than Hyenard. Both are pretty much the same but Gungaroo's personality is worse (at least I can understand Hyenard) and his weapon is also worse.
+Master Harpuia I love Flame Hyenard's screams! They remember me of heavy metal, and I'm a huge fan of it! Tornado Tonion on the other hand... That is a bad Maverick!
My Remastered Version of my Worst and Best Mavericks for Each Game (no list haha) X1: Worst: Flame Mammoth (His design looks just plain bad, and I don't really like what they did with his stage either. His weapon is fine, but not enough to forgive him for) Honorable Mention: Armored Armadillo (I don't care about this guy at all. Pretty meh) Best: Sting Chameleon (I really like his stage, and his design is also neat. I also think the weapon is pretty good) Honorable Mention: Lauch Octopus (Cephalopods deserve more representation in this series. Also overall really neat maverick) X2: Worst: Wire Sponge (Pretty self explanatory. I'm just gonna save time by getting this description over this) Honorable Mention: Crystal Snail (Nice stage. Horrible weapon and fight) Best: Magna Centipede (Slept 👏 on 👏 hard. 👏 Awesome design, cool weapon, and interesting concept) Honorable Mention: Bubble Crab (Just a fun maverick. Also, money, money, money, money) X3: Worst: Neon Tiger (The epitome of mid from this series. Mid design, mid weapon, mid music, mid everything) Honorable Mention: Volt Catfish (Not even bad. Just had to fill this spot. Also why is his design so goofy lmao) Best: Crush Crawfish (I love him so much. I'm so excited to talk about this guy, I feel like a kid on Christmas. The design is just amazing. He looks like an absolute tank, and I think thats a good thing in this case due to how powerful it feels. His stage is really neat too being a large shipyard, and the same goes for his fight. His weapon is really versatile as it can cut up w lot of things. This maverick is just Chef's kiss. Top tier) Honorable Mention: Blizzard Buffalo (Really cool maverick. Also he looks a bit like Frost Man) X4: Worst: Cyber Peacock (See the worst of X3, but a bit better to me) Honorable Mention: Slash Beast (Just decent I guess) Best: Magma Dragoon (Pretty self explanatory. Deserves to be in smash tbh) Honorable Mention: Jet Stingray (Quite underrated. He also has a weapon that is a better Goo Shaver before it was released) X5: Worst: Volt Kraken/Squid Alder (This guy infuriates me. His octopus pops is better in each and every way because it didn't make me want to break his knees with a crowbar. Also pretty bad weapon) Honorable Mention: Crescent Grizzley (Really mediocre, and kinda bad weapon. Cool design tho) Best: Burn Dinorex (I adore his design. He also is pretty awesome in general) Honorable Mention: Dark Necrobat (Edgy, but in a good way. Also I like his monocle) X6: Worst: Ground Scaravish (This is just hella wierd man. Pretty terrible weapon too) Honorable Mention: Infinity Mijinion (Just really infuriating) Best: Metal Shark Player (Really creative, cool, and interesting. He also has a bouncing anchor for a weapon) Honorable Mention: Commander Yanmark (I really like the weapon, and I also am a fan of the concept) X7: Worst: Flame Hyenard (Why are oranges called oranges, but an apple isn't called red- Oh my goodness. I can't take it no more. Eating a burger with no honey mustard. Eating a burger with no honey mustard. Eating a burger with no honey mustard. Eating a burger with no honey mustard. Eating a burger-) Honorable Mention: Tornado Tonion (Fortnite battle pass. I just sht out my ass. Booted up my PC cuz I need me to get that Fornite battle pass. I like Fortnite. Did I mention Fortnite? I like Fortnite. It's night-time. I mean it's 5 o'clock that's basically night-time. Y'all remember Cartoon Network? Adventure Time) Best: Splash Warfly (Ok now onto the only two Mavericks that are anything above mid. Splash Warfly has a cool design, and has one of the better weapons in the game) Honorable Mention: Wind Crowrang (Kind of a budget versioh of Dark Necrobat to me but I like him well enough) X8: Worst: Burn Rooster (Feels like a remixed Blaze Heatnix which is a very bad thing) Honorable Mention: Bamboo Pandemonium (Boring as hell to me) Best: Dark Mantis (Looks sick, and is pretty neat. Pretty bad weapon tho) Honorable Mention: Avalanche Yeti (Just truly a solid maverick) Thanks for reading this. Pretty cool that someone decided to read the Crush Crawfish appreciation piece ❤️
I should probably mention my least favorite Mavericks per game. Keep in mind, this is my opinion. I'm completely fine if anyone happens to disagree. X1: Sting Chameleon. Finally, someone who agrees that this guy is worse than Flame Mammoth. His design to me isn't that bad. But there are better looking Mavericks out there honestly. so it's kind of mixed. Then there's his stage. It tends to either be cheap and luck-based, or extremely boring. Cheap and luck-based coming from the cave if you choose to not kill the mini-boss (unless you already have the helmet upgrade). The cave has completely random rocks that fall down. There's no pattern to them. They can fall in just the wrong places to knock you into a pit. Everything else before and after it is boring. Not to mention even more of a bore if you kill the pathetic mini-boss. So it creates a dilemma. Do I want to have _one_ thing in the stage that's going on but require RNG to be on my side, or do I go through a very boring stage? Then there's the fight. I do not like this fight, at all. It's purely for how much luck is required to dodge his Spine Valley. His Chameleon Sting and Iron Tongue? As far as I'm concerned, they're basically free hits. I hate luck-based fights so much. Sometimes they're possible to dodge. Other times, they aren't. Also, it's completely random how long he chooses to use it and when he chooses to use it. His weapon is pretty good though. I do like the small spread shot from the uncharged Chameleon Sting (totally original) and the invulnerability with the charged state reminds me of the Star Man power up you see in Mario games. X2: Wire Sponge. You basically explained everything about this guy. Dull and uninspired. Yes, X2 may be my favorite in the series, but it does not have my favorite line up in the series (it's up there though). X3: Tunnel Rhino. He's a strange mixed bag. His design is absolutely awesome looking. That and his weapon charged or uncharged is extremely useful. But his stage can be described in these words. Unmemorable, dull, a tad tedious, and boring. The only thing memorable honestly to me are those enemies that fire drills at you, and the pathetically easy mini-boss. Tunnel Rhino sadly is extremely easy himself. Not to mention all he does is ram and occasionally fire off his drills. Something I've noticed with a lot of bosses in X3. Almost every boss has some form of ramming at you. X4: Frost Walrus. Honestly, I'm not too big a fan of this guy. Cyber has grown on me a bit thanks to his stage. I'm personally split on Frost Walrus's design. Part of me says it looks cool (no pun intended) but part of me says what am I looking at. That's just me though. I'm not split on his stage and fight. His stage to me is a bit boring honestly and it's not the mos memorable out there either. It feels like not much really happens in the stage. The only thing I always instantly remember about it is the somewhat annoying mini-boss. His fight doesn't help for being extremely easy. It's the easiest fight in the series. Come on now. His weapons don't help much either. The charged Frost Tower is pretty useful. Uncharged, not to mention Zero's technique? I'm not too fond of. X5: Duff McWhalen. This guy does have a cool design and the charged Goo Shaver (not sure how it's spelled) is quite nice. But everything else about the guy, I'm not fond of. His stage is extremely boring and tedious. It's quite possibly the most tedious stage in the series. Then there's the fight which honestly to me is quite pathetic. It's one of the easiest fights in the series to me. Yeah, I personally don't find the 2nd phase to be that much of a threat. A bit harder than the 1st phase, but not by much. The uncharged Goo Shaver is pretty much a nerfed Search Snake, not to mention Zero getting his Air Dash attack which honestly isn't very useful. X6: Ground Scaravich. I kind of have to agree with The Quarter Guy on this one. Originally, Blaze Heatnix was my least favorite, but he's grown on me quite a lot. I've come to realize that the only thing I don't like about the guy is his stage. Yeah, unlike a lot of people I actually do not consider his fight a complete pushover... when he summons the lava from the ceiling of which his attacks come out fast at times and require reflexes. It depends on where he fires them off. He still leaves himself wide open though. Wait.. I'm going off topic. Well, at least I kind of explained why Blaze Heatnix is no longer my least favorite Maverick in X6. Quarter Guy already said everything about Ground Scaravich. X7: Wind Crowrang. Yeah, unlike many people Flame Hyenard is not my least favorite in X7. That doesn't mean he isn't _one_ of my least favorites in X7. He's still my 2nd least favorite Maverick in X7. Anyways, I hate this guy. I really hate Wind Crowrang. He may as well be Storm Eagle if he was even worse of a Maverick than he already was (yeah, I actually don't like Storm Eagle and that will be explained another day). Taking his stage and making it from boring and unmemorable, to frustrating and memorable for the wrong reasons. Add X7's camera problems into the mix, and you got a terrible combination. I would've given credit to Wind Crowrang for actually being a challenge unlike his X1 prototype, but that's shattered thanks to this video I saw. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fUaVkvi8t6s.html Yeah. His weapons are at least decent though. Compared to most weapons in X7, the Wind Cutter is a tad useful. X8: Gigabolt Man O War. I don't like to talk about this guy honestly. I've already explained why in Quarter Guy's video. If I were to mention 10, 15, or 20 then there are more Mavericks that I'm not fond of. Such as Storm Eagle (yes really), Flame Mammoth, Crystal Snail (a mixed bag to me), Crush Crawfish, Blizzard Buffalo, Cyber Peacock (another mixed bag), Web Spider, Shield Sheldon, Rainy Turtloid, Flame Hyenard, Tornado Tonion, and Avalanche Yeti.
+Curiosity Man Finally one that doesn't hate Flame Hyenard! I despise Ground Scaravich too and Blaze Heatnix is easy only as X, but the donuts are a pain in the ass with him, so I used Zero's Rekkoha to get rid of them, but Zero's Sentsuizan is CRAP!
Vittorio Pugliese I never said the stage was hard. It's tedious, long, and boring without giga attacks or charged weapons. With them it's just boring to me. Funny is that on retrospect, it's a short stage only made longer by mini-bosses not even really difficult by themselves. About Blaze Heatnix as X. I never said he was hard as X. As X, he's easy unless one is perfect running. It's with Zero (not using the "techniques") that I find it to be fun and somewhat of a challenge. Especially in the rematch where he's not so low on health.
***** Youre absolutely right about X7: Flame Hyenard has a cheap fight but his voice makes me want to do air guitar, while Tornado Tnion makes me want to burn him to the ground!
My least favorites are almost the same as yours, but I personally hate Tornado Tonion more than Wind Crowrang. At least Crowrang had a good design(even if he was a rip-off) and a decent weapon, while Tonion's design and weapon suck balls.
I think Tonion is the absolute worst, followed by Boarski. Them, and Gungaroo and Anteator, make Hyenard look DECENT in comparison. But I think the only thing wrong with Adler is literally the first half of his stage. Grizzly Slash is decent overall, so is Flame Mammoth. And Bamboo Pandamonium is actually pretty cool
Lamed Mavs (normally I stomp them 1st or 2nd): X1: Penguin, Mamoth； X2: crab, snail; X3: crawfish(this is the hardest 1st kill); X4: Spider, Mushroom, owl; X5: izzy and dizzy; X8: Antonion and trilobyte
Why am I not surprised that stupid Hyena is number 1 here. And I actually like Burn Rooster mostly cause his pre-fight dialogue with X does give insight to why X retired for good after X8. And my most favorite Maverick in the X series happens be from X6 and it's Avalanche Wolffang and yes I'm aware of the ice physics in his stage but the stage design, his look, the fight with him, and his weapon that you get both X's weapon and Zero's weapon more then make up for the ice physics.
heres mine x1 flame mammoth x2 wire sponge x3 tunnel rhino x4 frost walrus x5 duff mcwhalen x6 ground scaravich x7 tornado "AROUNDDD ANND AROUNDDD"tonion tied with flame "BURNNN TOO THE GROUNG hyenard x8 gigavolt man o war though apart from tonion and nyenard i like all of these mavericks mammoth not bad at all just weaker then the rest sponge cool design but easy boss fight and shit weapon rhino cool design but easiest x3 fight walrus x4s line up was amazing and he falls behind the rest though he's still really cool duff similar to x4 x5 had a nice line up so he falls behind but shit stage and easy fight brings him down scaravich so stupid i can't hate him gigavolt same as scaravich
@@blockhead10 Since somehow my original explanation got deleted, I'll tell you again: Sting Chameleon:Aerodragon2 explained it very well in his video. His stage is boring beyond belief and his fight is the other extreme, stupidly annoying. Gravity Beetle:I'll admit, his stage isn't as lame as I once thought it was, but I can't forgive his other shortcomings.His fight is awful; all he does is throw rebounding electric balls and flail his horn around. What part of that sounds like gravity to you? His fight is hell on Earth without the Ray Splasher but stupidly easy with it, because if you just don't stop shooting, he'll pull a Toad Man and jump around like a retard until he dies. And the Gravity Well is absolutely horrid. It's so situational that literally only one boss in all of X3 gets hurt by it, which is Blast Hornet. Frost Walrus:He's essentially a reverse Sting Chameleon; his stage is frustrating as hell but his fight is laughably easy. And his weapons aren't the worst, but there are certainly better, especially in X4. Burn Rooster:Jesus Christ I hate Burn Rooster. His stage is absolute hell with auto scrolling, spikes, and exploding boxes. And his fight is even more irritating with fire breathing, rebounding flame kicks, and those god awful flame pillars he creates when he's at half health, and when he makes these pillars, you can't hurt him. And to make you want to murder your controller even more, you have to escape his stage, which is quickly filling with lava. Not to mention, his weapons are rather mediocre and are nowhere near worth the frustration required to get them. Does that answer your question as to why I hate the mavericks you mentioned. Hopefully this one doesn't get deleted like the last one somehow.
I defitnatly agree with Number 1. I've actually played and beaten X7 just to see if it was bad as everyone said it was. Even though I dislike X6 more at the moment, I defitnatly saw all the flaws with X7, the weak story, terrible camera, weak weapons, out of place Mavericks, (especially Tornado Tonion, seriously why is he a thing!?), Etc. I defitnatly understand why you hate the game.
I disagree with Hyenard being 1. Tornado Tonion should have been number 1. Also, Snipe Anteator, Vanishing Gungaroo and Ride Boarski are worse than Hyenard. At least Hyenard has a cool design, a mediocre 2D part in his stage and a nice weapon. Those four, on the other hand, have no redeeming qualities whatsoever. So, on my worst Mavericks list, the top four is 4) Anteator 3) Gungaroo 2) Boarski 1) Tonion I wouldn't put Flame Hyenard on a worst maverick list, just a dishonorable mention, due to how his game already having four Mavericks that are worse than him, much worse.
The rage party started as soon as #5 started. I mean Snipe AntEATER and Vanishing Gungaroo were dishonorable mentions on his list so I guess they finally got the rage they deserved.
Why do people always hate on Hyenard! Much worse Mavericks exist in the same game, and you all know who I'm talking about: a boar that completely rips off jet Stingray (which ironically is my third favorite maverick of all time) but FAILS and a fucking onion... 'nuff said.
Crews Owen Hyenard's voice makes me want to pt down the controller and do air guitar for hours, but Tonion's voice makes me want to burn him to the ground!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
can someone give me the link to that music in the intro? also great video even though i`ve never played a mega man game actually should i buy a mega man game? and if so which one?
I loved infinity Mijinion: he needs to be frustrating for symbolism reasons, and to me sybolism is more than enough to redeem and also make me like him!
my plans for X9 intro stage: corrupt tower boss: lumine mavericks: vortexhole beetle stage: gravity center weapon for X: vortex booster ( creates something like black hole bomb, but in X style, charged creates screen nuke technique for zero: thyrrhahurra ( Anti Air Move ) weapon for Axl: vortex bullet ( bullet, that explodes in a black hole bomb Weakness: blitz Ant Weaponaries ( Gravity devices are controlled by electricity ) Blaze Rhinoceros stage: Volcano Research Center Weapon For X: Blaze horn ( fiery projectile that deals burn damage, charge shot creates a column of lava Technique for Zero: Flarherra ( fiery Z saber Twirl) Weapon for Axl: blaze breath ( Works like a flamethrower) Weakness: Aquatic Turtle Weaponaries ( Water Extinguishes fire ) Blade Chimera stage: sharp factory weapon for X: blade blast ( shoots large saber-like shots, charge shot works like charge for Shadow Armor) Technique for zero: Slithusharior ( slow, but powerful downwards saber slash) weapon for Axl: blade bullets ( quick blade-like bullets ) weakness: Blaze Rhinoceros Weaponaries ( fire melts metal ) Blitz Ant Stage: Electric Palace Weapon for X: Volt ray (electric homing missile, charge shot creates a bolt of lightning) Technique for zero: Voltahirro ( electric Giga Attack, that uses weapon energy ) Weapon for Axl: Volt cluster ( electric missile, that splits ) Weakness: Blade Chimera Weaponaries ( Blades Can Cut Electric Wires ) Crystal Seal Stage: Crystallic Mine Weapon for X: crystal mine ( magnet mine from X2, but crystallized, and explodes into 4 crystal fragment, charge shot creates crystal barrier ) Technique for Zero: Charrachera ( powerful Z saber Slash ) Weapon for Axl: Crystal piece ( shot, that bounces off the walls ) weakness: Vortexhole Beetle Weaponaries ( black holes can swallow crystals ) Rock Jackal stage: Cave Weapon for X: rock pile ( block dropper, but with rocks, charge shot creates something like charge shot of goo shaver Technique for Zero: khilhonaro ( powerful earthquake, that uses weapon energy ) Weapon for Axl: rock target ( works like a bullet from orbit barrier ( from mega man shattered diamond, a fan game demo ) ) Weakness: Missile Shoebill Weaponaries ( Explosion destroys rocks ) Missile shoebill stage: grand missile Weapon for X: shatter missile ( missile, that spreads in 4, charge shot creates giant missile ) Technique for zero: Blastarhana ( explosion-like slash ) Weapon for Axl: homing bullet ( fast homing bullet ) Weaknesses: Crystal Seal Weaponaries ( crystal blocks explosions I think? ) Aquatic Turtle Stage: Warm sea Weapon for X: sea current (long-range sea wave, charge shot creates giant wave ) Technique for zero: Sealivero ( new saber spin, when double jumped ) weapon for Axl: sea blast ( grenade, that unleashes ground-going wave ) weakness: Rock Jackal Weaponaries ( Rocks can stop currents ) sigma fortress sigma fortress stage 1 ( main Entrance ) boss: copy clone Weakness: X buster/Z saber /Axl bullet Sigma fortress stage 2 (defense mechanism ) boss: kaiju armor and vile mk 6 weakness of kaiju Armor: Shatter Missile/ Blastarhana/ homing bullet Weakness of vile: Volt ray/ Voltahirro/ volt cluster Sigma fortress stage 3 ( cloning room ) boss: orbit machine weakness: crystal mine/Charrachera/Crystal piece Sigma fortress 4 ( sigma's room ) boss: gunner sigma/ extreme machine sigma weakness of gunner sigma: Blaze horn/ Flarherra/ blaze breath weakness of extreme machine sigma: vortex booster/ thyrrhahurra/ vortex bullet
I hate Megaman X7 which means I hate 99% of the Maverick lineup for X7 with my most hated Maverick being from X7 that being Flame Hyenard with the only Maverick in X7 that I like being Splash Warfly.
Very nice list, u did sadly put some of my favorites on hear(tunnel rhino,wheel gator, burn rooster) but hey it's ur opinion. Im wondering why ground scaravich isn't here. HES A DUNG BEETLE AND HE LITERALLY GIVES U SH!T AS WEAPON!!! Also u gotta admit, even though infinity can be annoying, that music is GODLY.
