Just finished the final entry in the main Mega Man series. Over the last couple years, I've toughed it out, one-by-one, on original hardware like the games were meant to be played. Great fun!

Now to rank them....

How would you do it?

1. MM2
2. MM3 (really tough picking between 2 and 3)
3. MM7
4. MM4
5. MM9
6. MM10
7. MM6
8. MM5
9. MM1
10. MM8 (Bleh)

My favorite series of all time, Just actually posted that I just did a no death run of 3 as I saw this so I had to reply.

MM2 is still tops for me, followed closely by MM3, they are everything you want in a MM game and near platform perfection. MM6 is up there too, I missed out on this one back in the day, seems to be easily overlooked, rush adapter and branching paths made this one feel a lot fresher and more fun. MM1 is a little rough around the edges but still iconic to me. MM9 and MM10 are solid entries. MM4 and especially MM5 are underwhelming and bland. MM7 I would have put higher, but replaying it, the flaws become more apparent and it hasn't aged well. MM8 I just didn't like, lots of changes to the formula but not in a good way.

I haven't played 7 or 8 or 10, but my personal ranking of the ones I have played:

Haven't played some of them thoroughly enough to say but OP it's nice to see you liking 7 so much. I do as well. Feel it doesn't get the love it deserves but I do see why so many dislike it. Personally, I think it's very good.

Of the ones I've played:

I can only rank the first 6 games since I haven't played the others. Not much love for MM1 itt.

7 and 8 are always near the bottom, they changed the graphics in a negative way (IMO) and really weren't very much fun. I feel no satisfaction playing them. 1 is also near the bottom just because it isn't as refined since it is the first. I'd probably have to go:

9 and 10 really do deserve to be higher up, they are well made and fun.

Tough to rank them, but I'll give it a shot:

MM2 is tops for me, some of the best bosses and the most overpowered weapon in a MM game ever (Metal Blade)
MM next, it was the first one I had and holds a special place for me, it's tough and having points wasn't the best idea, but man it's a great one.
MM3
MM4
MM5
MM6
MM10
MM9
MM7
MM8

Yeah, I realize I kinda went in order for a while, but I think that's how I prefer them, 7 wasn't bad, it just didn't feel like Mega Man, and 8 was... uggg.

i don't think I could rate them..

I love 1, 2 and 3 but the rest are blah, not as good IMO...

I'm a huge Mega Man fan I know. I've played 1, 3, and 9 as well but haven't beat them so don't know where to put them.

Haven't played 1, 7, or 8.

Haven't played 9 or 10 so I won't include them but the rest:

2 don't understand the hate on this one

6 I think the rush adapter makes this less enjoyable. I find myself constantly just using rush jet all level and then either the boss weakness or charged buster for bosses since they are so easy.
7
8

Don't understand why people feel the need to say that when 2 is placed at the top at least 95% of the time. Also if someone places 2 near the bottom, it doesn't mean they hate it.

8 (Music, Graphics, gameplay, and horrible voice overs. One of my fav games ever)

It’s pretty well documented that people either seem to like 2 or call it “over rated” or nostalgia for the reason why it’s good. I just disagree that’s all.
