Ballade was always my favorite of the Mega Man Killers and all of Mega Man's rivals. 1. He without a doubt has the best design and feels right. He's more slim and intimidating than the last two killers. Enker was simple but didn't feel complete and is rushed in at the end. Punk is more of a one-time villian to me. But Ballade always seemed to be what was supposed to be his main rival. He is taller, and as previousky mentioned he is more slime and intimidating 2. He doesn't feel slapped on The last two killers feel slapped on at the end and hold not much of a real purpose, including their weapons which you get before Wily. Ballade you fight twice and get his weapon before the second set of bosses. Furthermore making him feel more proper, making him feel like he was meant to actually be in the game from the start. 3. Character I don't care for the story in Mega Man games to be blunt. But it's stuff like Ballade and Cossack where I happen to find it interesting and actually care a bit. Ballsde unlike the last two Mega Man Killers Ballade feels like a character and even changes over time. In Mega Man games the bosses are supposedly sentient and have their own personality. Which gets reflected in the gameplay if you keep dying at a boss, you'd want to get his weakness and finally kick his ass. Making the boss feel more important than others. Ballade is set up and built up to be the rival right from the get-go, being shown in the intro unlike the last two Killers. He has suspense to him. And at the end he realises he was the villian, when other Mega Man bosses just do what they are supposed to do. Bass and Ballade have better personalities. They are simply put, good characters and are more independent than other characters in the franchise.
I know this was posted a while ago but do you really get his weapon before the 2nd set? Iirc you only got it in the 2nd encounter before wilys battle Ship
Ewan Coral becuase they are just fakes the original ballade took he’s own life to save mega man remember wily made him and can easily make more as seen in mega man v before u rematch ballade
I believe the one in Mega Man V is a clone, seeing as there are multiple Ballades in test tubes right before you fight him. As for Mega Man 10, there doesn't seem to be a real reason. Seeing as his stage is bonus DLC and not tied to the actual story of the game though, I'm guessing it's probably non-canon.
Wily probably made more robots identical to Ballade, but since the original Ballade was destroyed and the AI chip (or whatever it is) was destroyed with it they don't have his personality...
This was the best GB MegaMan in my opinion (Right after Megaman V, but that one was completely original so I find kinda unfair to compare it to the previous ones )
No idea actually, haha. I'm guessing the developers just didn't bother giving him a special defeat animation during the second fight, i.e. it's probably just an oversight.
I always tought that the game boy megaman series (with exception of mega man 2 which is far superior on NES) Are better than the NES ones The stories are much more improved and the characters are way better developed
Well if you think about it ballade cracker was one of those solid type of weapon, but i dont know it still does explode so maybe ts more of a capsule and the inside is the exploding part

The best Mega Man Killer. Why? He actually has a character arc.
Well ...
This is the most story you’re ever going to get out of classic Megaman
True. I still like the other megaman killers more design wise. He's really cool too tho
I think enker is just as good
Yes
No doubt about it
Ballade was always my favorite of the Mega Man Killers and all of Mega Man's rivals.
1. He without a doubt has the best design and feels right.

Ballade you fight twice and get his weapon before the second set of bosses. Furthermore making him feel more proper, making him feel like he was meant to actually be in the game from the start.
3. Character

Yeah he’s the has the coolest design too, Enker just looks like a Chinese bootleg version of Mega Man while Punk looked like a generic Mega Man enemy
Lmao ow. Funny way of describing it even if I don't entirely agree
@@chippy4032 I wasn’t talking to you
@@stomper1232 never implied that. Just said I didn't agree
"Farewell to Ballade"
Literally
Without a doubt, Ballade is my favorite penultimate boss in video game history.
Solid entry into the series, along with Mega Man V.
Definitely. In fact, after recently replaying the Classic Mega Man games, I'd go as far as to say they're some of best games in that series.
@@Joki_ yes agreed!
@@Joki_Megaman IV is probably the closest we’ll get to the perfect megaman game
Ballade is a best friend ;-;
list of Mega Man enemies who regret his actions:
Ballade
Sunstar
King
Ballade Won My Heart 😍😍
The Best Megaman Killer!!
All the GB Megaman games are (Probably II) Legendary
Doesn’t matter which system it is, megaman IV is the best out of their series.
This is the saddest mega man moment in the entire series to me.
Have you ever played Megaman Zero 4?
@@thefollower2933I don't think he plays bad games bud, ask avgn he probably did.
@@candlechaos lmao
MMZ4 is peak
@@thefollower2933okay I'll try it then.
u forgot Sunstar death who regret himself too
デザインカッコ良すぎませんかね…
最終的にロックマンの味方になった数少ない敵
Que estás diciendo?
Mega Man World 4....one of my favorite Mega Man games of all time
How about world5
@@Uzawareisaaa
Good I guess, also this comment is old
Ballade is easily my favourite mega man character from the classic series
0:04 That moment of suspense xD
GASP?~ WILY?!
GUTS MAN!
DUN DUNNNNN
The only part that annoys me is the lazy 'thanks for playing' end screen lol..
Why Ballade is a enemy in Mega Man V on gameboy and Mega Man 10 ?
Ewan Coral becuase they are just fakes the original ballade took he’s own life to save mega man remember wily made him and can easily make more as seen in mega man v before u rematch ballade

Wily probably made more robots identical to Ballade, but since the original Ballade was destroyed and the AI chip (or whatever it is) was destroyed with it they don't have his personality...
@@galloviking4766 Yeah, the ones from Mega Man V are probably just generic clones with no personality.
Clone/Non Cannon part of the game
Interestingly, Ballade appears to have died upon his second defeat because he is seen to have exploded, even though he did not die.
My favourite of Mega Man Killer Robots!
This was the best GB MegaMan in my opinion
(Right after Megaman V, but that one was completely original so I find kinda unfair to compare it to the previous ones )
Wait but if you blow ballade up how does he save you in the ending?
No idea actually, haha. I'm guessing the developers just didn't bother giving him a special defeat animation during the second fight, i.e. it's probably just an oversight.
Think of it as a smoke bomb or something. He's fucked up in the ending anyway.
Maybe it’s a emergency teleport
Just like how mega man dies he comes back
@@randomguyontheinternet7940 but he like straight up explodes mid air there's no smoke
@@kanemccarthy1979 Gameboy has limited graphics. Assume that’s what they wanted you to see.
If we get a 12th game I lowkey hope they comeback
Ik they did in 10 but I mean REALLY comeback
If they do they should bring back Quint, the Stardroids and Sunstar as well
@@stomper1232 dont forget about the genesis unit too
@@Megaman-2407 always forget about those three but yeah them as well
All of these died though? If not their debut games, but their appearance in mega man V
I always tought that the game boy megaman series (with exception of mega man 2 which is far superior on NES)
Are better than the NES ones
The stories are much more improved and the characters are way better developed
Considering most of those games were shorter overall, they had to compensate somehow
Why doesn't the other megaman games have that? Clashing bullets
I mean, stopping bullets with your OWN shots is a thing in 11.
Well if you think about it ballade cracker was one of those solid type of weapon, but i dont know it still does explode so maybe ts more of a capsule and the inside is the exploding part
i see you everywhere
Why hasn't this game been rereleased on Switch, again?
I think they'd probably need permission from Capcom to do that. That said I'd love to see the Game Boy games get their own Mega Man Legacy Collection.
@@Joki_ I hope so or even color versions of the five games (with fixed audio in 2 GB)
Mega Man: Odds and Ends Collection:
- Mega Man I, II, III, IV, V
- Mega Man: The Wily Wars
- Rockman and Forte
- Megaman Soccer
One can dream
@@BB-te8tc and maybe the handheld sequel to Mega man & bass that was on a gameboy like device (we got the original on gba years later)
Oh yeah, forgot about that one. I think that's a Wonderswan title.
sad boi :(((
sad boi :(
1:00-1:02
Megaman IV is even better than MegaMan V.
Change my mind.
