Using the Pseudoroids is fun at times, it's just their inability to do regular walking/climbing "normal" stuff for the most part that bugs me.
I'm Making a Mega Man Thread. My fate is sealed. I have... no choice.

ZX Advent is like in my top three favorite Mega Man games. At least playing as Grey. Ashe is okay, but I just found Grey's story more interesting.
I'd play around as the pseudoroids. I mostly stuck to the more humanoid ones, but I liked being able to be the other bosses and mess around with them. The having to stop and transform stuff just didn't bother me personally though.
As such I'd use the forms in various ways. Buck shot's triple shot came in handy sometimes because of its angle. I remember being able to hit things with it that I'd normally have to re-position myself to get.
Ironically one of the most useful forms to take was Chronoforce. While no he can't move when not in water, that time slow ability allows you to get a LOT of hits off on bosses if you use it right. Also I can't draw enough attention to the fact that his top half 'shell' is indestructible. There are quite a few attacks that will fall from the sky, going directly down.
His shell will BLOCK that attack outright. Meaning if you know what you are doing, you can tank it and take no damage.
I loved the game so much that I did those battle challenges. I think you get like a medal for completing them? It was all about doing a certain thing during the battle against a boss. If you get them all it unlocks a new form you can take, and I did that.
Really wish we got that third game in the series teased at the end if you play through hard mode. I'd love another game with Model A.

I was actually surprised when a weird medal flashed on screen when I beat QueenBee and BiFrost. I had to look up what in the world that was, haha.
I used Model Phantom on Queen cuz the shuriken did a ton of damage. I think I just kept hitting the hive (big target) so I got the silver medal. I used Buckfire on Bifrost, cuz yknow, it's fire, and got a silver too.
I'm actually at the last stage entrance with talking to Aile triggering the Ouroburos stage but I'm gathering all the missing life ups, model energy ups and the extra items like boots and absorbers etc.
Pandora and Prometheus are dead? Gosh dang. Seriously, the plot of the Model W's being also to eat your soul if you're feeling despair and fear is actually scary. I thought I was going to get their Model Data too, but, darn!
Oh yeah, meeting Aile had a loooong transformation sequence. Since I'm Grey, I get to meet Aile? But if I'm Ashe, I'll meet Vent? A gender meet switch? I want to hear Vent talk but I'll probably just check a video instead of replaying this.
Hedgeshock is very cute when running, hehe. If Bifrost would move faster, I would love to play a giant Dino gator in a game, hehe. The ugoyle augoyle with the skate feet are weeeeird but semi unique.
I actually like the four evil Mega Men. Feels like rivals in an anime series, haha

I haven't finished Advent yet but had to look Vent up.
He has long hair? Aile had a ponytail. They could have switched. I would have thought Advent Vent was a girl, same way I thought Giro was a girl too.

Yep.
Yep.
I guess?
IIRC, Vent was the one who idolized Giro, so it makes sense he'd grow his hair out in honor of his mentor.
I think Aile's style fits her more tomboyishness.
Well, I finished ZX Advent. I went around getting the life ups, biometal upgrades, items etc (I hated trying to find all the green beasts that I had to kill) using a guide.
The final stage wasn't really anything and I used Model Phantom in the dragon for a quick kill. I didn't get how to attack Albert in his 2nd form at first but when he lost the armor (after I kept hitting it), I just hit him bunches. Got him after one death. (I'm in casual mode tho).
Ending was too quick? Both Aile and Grey are going to explore the world, that's it? Where's the thanks for everybody they saved?
I looked it up and saw that there's a second ending under difficult mode where Thomas has the other Mega Men with him, that's cool. They're going to reset the world! Yeah! Clean the oceans, hehe
Well, that's done. At least I don't have to worry about the Timelines comic anymore. I'll finish Zero 3 next then X7 and X6 or Hades 2 when it comes out.
