I typically don't have much to say about Classic Rockman games, as the X series is much more my cup of tea, but this one was cool enough to warrant some comments. The Robot Masters of this one were much more challenging and fun to beat than other games, I loved learning all their patterns. Genuinely takes some skill to beat a lot of these guys if you're not just looping or stalling them with weaknesses like Toad Man or Pharaoh Man. I don't think their weaknesses are particularly obvious, though, and that's half the fun of Rockman for me: seeing the names and designs of all the bosses you'll face, trying to "solve" their weaknesses with logic, and then experimenting to see if you're right. Some made sense, some were completely wack to the point where I was getting frustrated spending time playing through the whole stage, many of which are also very difficult, just to find out I was wrong. Even so, I love all the designs of these Robot Masters, if nothing else.

Dr. Cossack and Kalinka were cute as a subversion of expectations, the first time a "twist" villain was done in one of these games.

The final Wily Capsule fight is absolutely the standout part of the whole game, though. Really awesome and challenging fight.
