***** If you don't think that's a good drawing of boobs than I'm going to question your tastes. Though I actually did forget to update my RUclips avatar to the Christmas one I've been using elsewhere. Just know that that's not because of you though. >:C
ikr? This game is overhated, it's not perfect but still pretty good and fun. Aside from some flaw and horrible voice acting I didn't see any point that deserved the hate this much. (I played JP version anyway so no issued with bad English voice)
Jirard is totally right about that scene in FFX, though. In the scene, Tidus is bummed out, and Yuna says that she has practiced smiling when she's sad to become happy. Tidus makes a pathetic attempt to smile, then Yuna tells him to try laughing out loud. So he does the maniacal forced laugh, she tells him he probably shouldn't laugh anymore, he continues anyway, she joins in, then they both break down into real laughter at the ridiculousness of it. It really is a sweet scene in context.
Of course it's a good scene. But welcome to the internet and memes. I get that it can be funny, but when a meme basically takes something, smashes it with a hammer until dust remains, and then mangles these remains into an ugly mocking likeness of it, that's just infuriating. Which is what happened here too. Ha ha out of context, look how shitty this game is, based on this disgusting distortion of that scene's entire meaning.
I love the opening of Mega Man 8. So much. When I was a kid I would watch it over and over thinking there was a real cartoon out there somewhere I had missed.
Am I the only one who played the japanese version "Rockman 8"? Japanese voice acting wasn't an issue. You gotta give this game more credit from its artwork, animation, music and gameplay. Also there is a cool openning song in the japanese version called "Electrical Communication" which I keep listening to it till these days. I feel sorry for capcom to discontinue the style of Megaman 8 for 9 and 10, only because of "voice acting issue" from another language that original creators have nothing to do with.
The problem was they tried to make it like astroboy. Which has merit, astroboy was a huge success and one of the major reasons anime in the west is so successful as a genre. but yea, you always see people constantly ragging on the game for it being horrible and bad, but can all be summed up as "good level design, adequate boss fights, fuck the snowboarding, great music, but the voice acting is horrible and i don't like the aesthetic"
Part of the problem is that Capcom didn't use native English speakers during the dubbing process. If they had I'd be willing to bet that Mega Man 8 would be more highly regarded amongst the fans than it is.
+KidSnivy69 Thou I do see his point, when the video started I thought "WTF wasn't his name pronounced Wily" then he explained the joke and when the video kept going he kept saying Wiwy it for some reason I noticed every single time. It didn't bother me but it was as Ham say really distracting. All in all I really like Megaman 8 I am really happy that it got the love it deserved (The voice acting never happened, yep never happened)
I thought it was hilarious the way he just stuck the knife in and kept twisting to make as much fun of Light's voice actor as possible by repeating "Wiwy" as many times as he possibly could throughout the entire episode. Cracked me up.
I actually loved this game when I played it on my PS1. Maybe cuz I am a big fan of mega man games and such, or maybe cuz I was a kid. I'll look forward into replaying it later on to see if I feel the same from when I felt b4 as a kid.
+WHEREISSPACEBAR Wow I never noticed he had that many. I know it's a big number of actual real human beings, but compared to others it's pretty small. Oh well I like the content and I think most people would enjoy it if they were showed it.
+teleportaat Nope. I said I realize it's a big number. It's just relatively small on youtube. You don't see twelve year olds talking like that do you. If you do then can they be my classmates because they are the dumbest people I've ever met. Also are you twelve? Because the way you type looks like it.
Fun fact: In some official media sources, the evil robot from space is called... ...Wait for it... ...Wait for it... TRIO! I'm not kidding. His name is Trio.
+Ricardo Filipe Raposo Well, you, me and the original commenter all probably saw the scene for the first time as we were playing the game. So it makes sense. I could understand that if someone saw it out of context, they would think of it as weird. Like if someone thought it was bad voice acting and that they were actually laughing like that. If they don't know that they were purposely fake-laughing, it just looks dumb.
Thomas Jenkins I dunno man, from what I recall Spoony did include the context of that scene and it still felt super-dumb. Plus there's plenty of other stuff to fairly criticise about that game so dismissing everyone who doesn't like it as getting hung up on that one scene seems (ironically) ignorant at best and disingenuous at worst...
I absolutely love this game, even though the voice acting is a war crime. Also, I can never hear "jump" and "slide" without PTSD. If this game was redubbed with decent voice actors, and if more games in the series had followed in its example, I think Mega Man may've had a better legacy, rather than being abandoned by its parent.
I've never seen your stuff but to actually have someone be kind about a game and truly consider its good points instead of ranting the entire time is refreshing. Like your stuff man KEEP IT GOING!
+Anonymous_X Really where? All I see is this megaman cartoon made to resemble a crappy anime. Oh...that was the anime. Maybe I finally found an anime I dislike more than DBZ.
OH MY GOD, I LOVE THE TITLE ART OF THIS EPISODE!!! Jirard makes a KICKASS young Thomas Light! Wait... If Wily and Light were coworkers, does that make Alex Dr. Wily?!
On that FFX comment at the end: _THANK YOU._ OH MY GOSH. I know the voice acting wasn't great in that game, but they were SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE STUPID DURING THAT LAUGHING SCENE, THAT WAS THE POINT OF THE SCENE I BLAME SPOONY.
cookieface80 In context the scene makes sense. Go watch it all the way through. The blond guy (Titus) was trying to cheer the girl (Yuna) up, and he did so by laughing really loud and stupid. She eventually joins in after being weirded out. The other characters thought it weird too.
***** Starting any sentence with "erm actually" and then following up with a statement of opinion on someone else's opinion as though it were fact is douchey as heck.
Thank you for review Megaman 8! This was my first Megaman and one of my most favorite games to date. PS - The voice acting was so bad, even my 3 year old self noticed. Hahaha
I think people are quick to judge the voice acting in megaman 8 , even thou the japanese version has pretty decent voice acting. The saturn version, which is the one i played, was a really nice iteration of megaman 8, and, throughout the game, voice acting was never really a problem.
+Ruben Covaciu He's that guy who breaks down your doors and scream and says "Here's Johnny!" But for real i think they were talking about SomecallmeJohnny
This is literally one of my favorite Megaman games. I adore the art style, the music is fantastic, the animations are very 90s in a cheesy way I love, and the voice acting gets me every single time. It feels really different. I could go on and on about everything I love about this game. I think I'll play it again.
Even though he's done with the Anniversary Collection, I hope he still continues with Mega Man & Bass, and eventually, MM9 and 10. Also, I wouldn't mind him getting back to the X series, too. Iirc, I think he got as far as X4.
Clown Man is actually my favorite robot master, mostly because his name and power are separate, yet linked. Fun Fact: He's also Wily's favorite. The spare parts Wily got to fix up Clown Man were enough to make both Frost Man AND Aqua Man.
After Hard Man, Snake Man, Toad Man, Cloud Man, and Spring Man, I really don't think Clown Man can be considered lame or out of place in the Mega Man franchise! Great video, as always!
I LOVED MM8! I will admit the voice acting was terrible but what made up for it to me was the music and graphics. The music mostly. God I love the music to this game. I've actually considered covering a few of the songs from this game.
Finally someone who mentions the good parts of mm8 XD. I felt like one of the very few that actually like the game! Lol. Yes the game is far from perfect, the voice acting hurts and oh poor Bass and that name mispronunciation, but it was fun, story was good and it was pretty to look at. Those snow board levels tho... *war flashbacks*
I grew up with this collection on GameCube and 8 is seared into my brain. 7 I played on emulators my dad set up and due to that I only really remember the intro lol
RedBlueGiG thx man! You know what I mean though! Legends is HANDS DOWN the best in the series. So much fun to play and mess around in. And the music gets you hyped
+kokjong son Also the rankings and Zero 2`s Ultimate Form (seriously, it was a nightmare getting all of the Cyber Elves and using all of them, when I JUST found out that I missed that one at the Resistance Base before you do all the first four bosses, then I said ``fuck it´´, and put a cheat code for all Forms, since I was playing on a emulator), and if we are talking about ZX (especially ZXA), Model a (the 8-bit one) as well (havent really played the ZX series though, since I am planning to buy a actual copy of it). But seriously, I am REALLY looking forward to at least someone famous reviewing the Zero and ZX series. It is my favorite Megaman series BY FAR. Smooth controls, awesome music, the characters, the Cyber Elves, the Forms/Chips (including the Elemental Chips from the first three games. Made bosses a lot easier IMO), the weapons, the EX Skills... and ZX... fucking Biometals. Seriously, am I the only one who actually ENJOYED the Biometal system? Sure, it isnt ACTUALLY Zero, X or the 4 Guardians, but it was a really awesome addition to the series, even if the bearers were just little kids. XD Now if only there was a sequel to ZXA... someday, someday... XD
+UltimateZero42, a huge Megaman fan I really enjoyed the Biometals too, it felt like playing with a cast of 6 different characters, (7 if you count Model OX) where else could you get such variety in a Megaman game? Megaman X7 and 8 did allowed you to play as three different characters but even then you could only switch between two during a mission. Whereas in ZX and ZXA you could switch between a slew of different playstyles on the fly at any given time. In any case, the ZX series remains criminally underappreciated.
Pretty sure they wanted a fun, poppy, beautifully rendered, easier Megaman game to invite new players to the franchise - and hey it sure worked on my 6 year old self. Just mute the voice acting and it's great.
+KidSnivy69 The American localization of 7 kind of ruins a major point of Mega Man X's character, though. Mega Man X is the first robot Dr. Light created that could disobey the first rule of robotics. The fact that Wily threw that out there to Mega Man, and he stopped, is ingrained into the Classic series and is why Maverick Reploids are a big deal in X. The 3 laws are explicitly mentioned in the intro of Mega Man X, and it is canon that Classic Mega Man cannot disobey the three laws of robotics, making 7's ending completely arbitrary and out of character.
Great review as always! I recently played this game for the first time without knowing all the hate it gets and I have to say, it's really not that bad. The levels are fun and very diverse. Also the music is great. I have to point out one error at 11:10. It's a shoot 'em up section, not a bullet hell. It's far from being bullet hell.
Megaman 8 is my favorite Megaman game. I feel like it encapsulates the capcom experience perfectly. The soundtrack is phenomenal and yea the voice acting is goofy but I feel like it makes the game more charming. I love the snowboarding 🏂 sections so much.
Lotta people hate Megaman 8 but from the original series, it's actually my favorite. I got a lot more playtime and replayability out of it than I did previous titles. I also love Mario is Missing. Wash me in your judgement.
***** I know, just saying I personally think they should appeal to a broader demographic and think of the fans on the other side of the fence. Mewtwo21 Ah yes, they do have a streaming service too don't they? Simul cast dubs?
Mewtwo21 I see, never heard of that, but interesting it sounds. ***** And yet, they can get the rights to feature all kinds of different anime in japanese?
+PikaLink91 Well, the difference is that Japanese companies allow them to sub them and stream them. Dubbing companies don't have the same leniency. The Anime Industry wants to expand westward hence why Crunchyroll has so much access. However, dubbing companies have rights to the dubbed versions of the episodes. They also don't get much profit if they used Crunchyrolls system. Hence why they have their own streaming services or use other sites that benefit them more. It's not that Crunchyroll doesn't want to bring dubs over, it's that it's harder to do it and it costs more. Why deal with the problems of dealing with a dubbing company like funimation when they can just use the full access provided for them in a simple manner by the Anime Industry.
+PikaLink91 And realistically, the amount of people who want dubs are substantially muted by those who like or prefer subs. It'd be smarter to accommodate the vast majority if you can right?
The voice acting in FFX is absolute crap, especially that awful laughing scene (plus FFX is a horrible game in general), however the voice acting in MM8 is so bad it's hilariously awesome and has a lot of charm to it, like the voice acting in "House of the Dead 2". I love it! Better acting than FFX anyways. "When we find dat meteah, we'll find Doctah Wahwee!"
+jekblom123 The problem with the voice acting in FFX is the majority of scenes are either awkward and stilted, either pausing for a sip of bourbon, or rushed like the actors just want their check for the day. If at least half the characters were likable, then I think the acting wouldn't be harped on so much. Also the fact that you can't skip the fucking cutscenes, because god forbid someone only play the game for it's top notch combat system and not it's bullshit retarded story.
I actually love Megaman 8 , it’s one of my favs. Yes the voice acting is terrible but gives it some laughable charm. The game play is still great and so fun! I love Megaman 8

And why isn't Shade Man called Bat Man?
Because they had an agreement with their rivals and made CokeMan instead. He just has so much coke. The cola.

When I played Megaman 8 in the Anniversary Collection that I rented on Gamefly, Clown Man, GrenadeMan,Searchman and Sword Man were my faves :)
I need a video of Jarid saying anime a bunch, and just that. Slap on the "what the hell was that?" at the end for the fun of it.
Mega Man 8 has always been my favorite classic mega man game
NO THIS ISNT HAPPENING!THERE IS NO REASON FOR ME TO GO ON!WHU-WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOOR!?
Somehow much better than 10 of the 16 voice acting performances in Mega Man 8.
The evil robot is what the evil energy is
Will I be waiting on Xenoblade Chronicles ft. Chuggaaconory until I'm on my deathbed?
+HyperLuigi I bet Jirard really likes the game. It's just that it's gotta be somewhat difficult to get him.
Yes
+0215MADman I was exaggerating of course haha. I know it'd probably be difficult to get Chuggaa but I definitely hope it happens soon
I would love this!
ReynTime So you're saying that someone wouldn't? That quarter-wouldn't be ProtonJon?
After Hard Man, Snake Man, Toad Man, Cloud Man, and Spring Man, I really don't think Clown Man can be considered lame or out of place in the Mega Man franchise! Great video, as always!
Nobody considers this the Black Sheep of the series.
Thanos in mega man 8
I LOVED MM8! I will admit the voice acting was terrible but what made up for it to me was the music and graphics. The music mostly. God I love the music to this game. I've actually considered covering a few of the songs from this game.
ANNNNNIIIIIIMMMMMMEEEEEE!!!!!
Finally someone who mentions the good parts of mm8 XD. I felt like one of the very few that actually like the game! Lol. Yes the game is far from perfect, the voice acting hurts and oh poor Bass and that name mispronunciation, but it was fun, story was good and it was pretty to look at.
Those snow board levels tho... *war flashbacks*
But wait, there's more! You still got Megaman and Bass before Megaman 9 and 10.
Oh no.
*Ohhhhhhh nooooooooo!*
bass seems to tell megaman to shut up quite often
Personally, i love the voice actors
Let's be honest; if the voice acting was better half the complaints of the game would go away.
But we would miss the memes.
That damn voice acting is hilarious.
So now time to complete the Phoenix Wright series right?
YES
The Dr. Wiwy reminds me of Joey from Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series.
PLAGUE OF SHADOWS NEXT!!!
+Andreas Holmgren Is that out yet?
+Korahn27 Yes! Out since yesterday :)
Andreas Holmgren
awesome. I'll have to give it a play/stream when I'm off work
Kazuto Moran
update is downloaded on my PS4 already. End of work can't come fast enough now.
+Andreas Holmgren Holy shit man, i completely forgot about it, thank you so much
Megaman 8 was one of my first game on the Ps1 when my parents bought it. Along with Metal Slug and Resident Evil.
I grew up with this collection on GameCube and 8 is seared into my brain. 7 I played on emulators my dad set up and due to that I only really remember the intro lol
You cant pronounce wawee?

Zack Wiley WAHWEE!!
4th fav Megaman game.
1) MegaMan Legends
2) MegaMan Legends 2
3) MegaMan X
4) MegaMan 8
RedBlueGiG thx man! You know what I mean though! Legends is HANDS DOWN the best in the series. So much fun to play and mess around in. And the music gets you hyped
Misadventures of Tron Bonne, best spinoff.
NO STAR FORCE IS THE BEST!! Shooting Star intensifies*
He should review the Mega Man Zero or ZX series next
Yas
completing the Zero series would be a nightmare though.
I'm looking at you, Zero minigames.
+kokjong son and you too, Jackson.
+kokjong son Also the rankings and Zero 2`s Ultimate Form (seriously, it was a nightmare getting all of the Cyber Elves and using all of them, when I JUST found out that I missed that one at the Resistance Base before you do all the first four bosses, then I said ``fuck it´´, and put a cheat code for all Forms, since I was playing on a emulator), and if we are talking about ZX (especially ZXA), Model a (the 8-bit one) as well (havent really played the ZX series though, since I am planning to buy a actual copy of it).
But seriously, I am REALLY looking forward to at least someone famous reviewing the Zero and ZX series. It is my favorite Megaman series BY FAR. Smooth controls, awesome music, the characters, the Cyber Elves, the Forms/Chips (including the Elemental Chips from the first three games. Made bosses a lot easier IMO), the weapons, the EX Skills... and ZX... fucking Biometals. Seriously, am I the only one who actually ENJOYED the Biometal system? Sure, it isnt ACTUALLY Zero, X or the 4 Guardians, but it was a really awesome addition to the series, even if the bearers were just little kids. XD Now if only there was a sequel to ZXA... someday, someday... XD
+UltimateZero42, a huge Megaman fan
I really enjoyed the Biometals too, it felt like playing with a cast of 6 different characters, (7 if you count Model OX) where else could you get such variety in a Megaman game?
Megaman X7 and 8 did allowed you to play as three different characters but even then you could only switch between two during a mission. Whereas in ZX and ZXA you could switch between a slew of different playstyles on the fly at any given time.
In any case, the ZX series remains criminally underappreciated.
I love the crunchyroll ad at the end! Just the way Jirard yells "ANIME!" is perfect.
Pretty sure they wanted a fun, poppy, beautifully rendered, easier Megaman game to invite new players to the franchise - and hey it sure worked on my 6 year old self.
Just mute the voice acting and it's great.
Sooooo...when are we getting an MGSV Completionist episode? 😉
i hope m8
Thats gonna take a while
+Dominic Colleluore Well there are people that have already completed it. Since this is his job he could knock it out in a couple of weeks.
I'm 70 hours in and no where near 100%
+Whirlwind Spiral Yup, 70 hours and 45%. I've completed the Skullface storyline, but there's still so much more!
Megaman 7's USA ending isn't Canon.... Megaman stops himself from firing at Wily in the Japanese version.
But eh... details.
Also, Hi Johnny. =P
I kinda prefer the American version then.
+KidSnivy69 The American localization of 7 kind of ruins a major point of Mega Man X's character, though.
Mega Man X is the first robot Dr. Light created that could disobey the first rule of robotics. The fact that Wily threw that out there to Mega Man, and he stopped, is ingrained into the Classic series and is why Maverick Reploids are a big deal in X.
The 3 laws are explicitly mentioned in the intro of Mega Man X, and it is canon that Classic Mega Man cannot disobey the three laws of robotics, making 7's ending completely arbitrary and out of character.
ExImperialDragon I don't play the X games
+ExImperialDragon He does say he is more than just a robot, in 7's ending so it's not wrong
Megaman x 4 isnt the first megaman x game on the ps1, there is a megaman x3 for the ps1.
wow I did not know that. that cool though
yop mega man x3.x4.x5.x6 ps1
maybe the X games should of been on the PlayStation X?
Great review as always!
I recently played this game for the first time without knowing all the hate it gets and I have to say, it's really not that bad. The levels are fun and very diverse. Also the music is great.
I have to point out one error at 11:10. It's a shoot 'em up section, not a bullet hell. It's far from being bullet hell.
Megaman 8 is my favorite Megaman game. I feel like it encapsulates the capcom experience perfectly. The soundtrack is phenomenal and yea the voice acting is goofy but I feel like it makes the game more charming. I love the snowboarding 🏂 sections so much.
I always did thing it was pronounced Bass as in the musical term, not Bass the fish...
always expected mega mans voice to be deeper. not like some light voiced 5 year old
+Lazy Boy Link
Kinda like the cartoon/anime from the 90s? Look that up if you haven't seen it.
+ReddehWow Still would have been better than 8
+Lazy Boy Link Funny enough he gets a deeper voice in Mega Man Powered Up, and that game has a cuter design to it.
+Lazy Boy Link Jirard would suit that role perfectly
megaman 8 is my favorite
cake reboot mines 7 I've never played 8 but it looks fun
Lotta people hate Megaman 8 but from the original series, it's actually my favorite. I got a lot more playtime and replayability out of it than I did previous titles.
I also love Mario is Missing.
Wash me in your judgement.
I love that part where mega man does his best goku impression and trys to go super sayain 3
I would sub to Crunchyroll.....if they had dubs....(yeah just bring on the hate, I'm used to it).
Mewtwo21 Yeah, a few... that hardly justifies a subscription.
***** I know, just saying I personally think they should appeal to a broader demographic and think of the fans on the other side of the fence.
Mewtwo21 Ah yes, they do have a streaming service too don't they? Simul cast dubs?
Mewtwo21 I see, never heard of that, but interesting it sounds.
***** And yet, they can get the rights to feature all kinds of different anime in japanese?
+PikaLink91 Well, the difference is that Japanese companies allow them to sub them and stream them. Dubbing companies don't have the same leniency. The Anime Industry wants to expand westward hence why Crunchyroll has so much access. However, dubbing companies have rights to the dubbed versions of the episodes. They also don't get much profit if they used Crunchyrolls system. Hence why they have their own streaming services or use other sites that benefit them more. It's not that Crunchyroll doesn't want to bring dubs over, it's that it's harder to do it and it costs more. Why deal with the problems of dealing with a dubbing company like funimation when they can just use the full access provided for them in a simple manner by the Anime Industry.
+PikaLink91 And realistically, the amount of people who want dubs are substantially muted by those who like or prefer subs. It'd be smarter to accommodate the vast majority if you can right?
The voice acting in FFX is absolute crap, especially that awful laughing scene (plus FFX is a horrible game in general), however the voice acting in MM8 is so bad it's hilariously awesome and has a lot of charm to it, like the voice acting in "House of the Dead 2". I love it! Better acting than FFX anyways.
"When we find dat meteah, we'll find Doctah Wahwee!"
theres nothing wrong with the acting in FFX that I can see. Titus's voice is just annoying to listen to. Other than him everyone sounds fine.
W-Megaman
+jekblom123 The problem with the voice acting in FFX is the majority of scenes are either awkward and stilted, either pausing for a sip of bourbon, or rushed like the actors just want their check for the day. If at least half the characters were likable, then I think the acting wouldn't be harped on so much. Also the fact that you can't skip the fucking cutscenes, because god forbid someone only play the game for it's top notch combat system and not it's bullshit retarded story.
...how about Mega Man & Bass?
Oh and if it's possible, maybe Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch
The music is Great but the Stages can go screw themselfs
I actually love Megaman 8 , it’s one of my favs. Yes the voice acting is terrible but gives it some laughable charm. The game play is still great and so fun! I love Megaman 8
8:21 What do you meeeaan? The anime cutscenes had so much charm to them including the voice acting
Oi. Tengu man is the shit. How dare u.
