Mega Man 8 Review

Well, I did it for 9 and 10, this should be fun.

I uhh... I have a confession.

I genuinely like this game. Gonna throw that out there.

Weapons

Thunder Claw - I love multipurpose weapons (EG Wheel Cutter), and this is a REALLY good one, and it’s actually one of my top 20 weapons! 10/10!

Flash Bomb - This is technically multipurpose, but not really. You only use its illumination once in the entire game, and even then it’s optional. But it’s powerful and hits several times. 8/10

Ice Wave - It’s a stronger version of Water Wave. That’s really about it, as you only use its freezing ability once, like with Flash Bomb. 7/10

Tornado Hold - Yes. YES. YES. 10/10

Flame Sword - It lacks the damage of its predecessor of the Slash Claw, but I really like this one anyway. I like how the flames are utilized several times. Another one of my top 20. 10/10.

Water Balloon - I only JUST started liking this one, honestly. It’s the same damage as Thunder Claw, but it’s not short range, and it travels in a slight arc, making it more useful for damage, especially if you’re like me, and you’re bad at measuring your jump height. 10/10.

Astro Crush - Standard Screen Clearing Weapon. Doesn’t do much other than damage things, honestly. But it gets the job done. Not too crazy about it, really. 6/10 for lack of originality.

Homing Sniper - This is what Dive Missile SHOULD have been. It shows you EXACTLY what it’s targeting, and it can be charged for 3 missiles to come out too! 10/10 because of how flat out useful it is.

Mega Ball - This is the Power Stone of this game. You’re gonna need to use it an awful lot if you want to, well, beat the game, so get used to its weird attack pattern. It’s fairly easy to tell where it’s gonna go, at least, though I don’t know why they used it instead of Rush Coil. Either way, it’s rather powerful, and I enjoy using it. 8/10. Not perfect, but not terrible either.

Bosses

Weird Crab Thing - 10/10 since it utilizes the new weapon PERFECTLY. Plus going back for bolt hunting is simple with Astro Crush.

Frost Man (And all the Robot Masters but Sword Man and Grenade Man) - Here’s where we get to the bad part of Mega Man 8... All the bosses are Toad Mans to an extent. Way too easy with their weakness weapon. Sure, the fights are fun if you DON’T have the weapon, but there’s little chance of that when it’s 4 stages at a time... So all the bosses in this category get a 6/10. They’re really only fun to fight when they’re fought with the Buster.

Grenade Man - THIS is a fun fight. Grenade Man never flinches, even when hit with the Thunder Claw, and he’s constantly on the move, only stopping for brief moments where his Flash Bombs can deflect your shots. And when he’s down to a quarter health, HE DESTROYS THE FLOOR, and you’re forced to fight him on uneven terrain! I love this fight, it’s one of my favorite boss fights in the series, up there with Shade Man and Magnet Man. 10/10!

Sword Man - This fight kinda irks me, to be honest. I like it, yeah... well, no, I don’t really. It’s just annoying. He has at least three attacks where you can’t hit him without his weakness (the fire tornado), and two of those you can’t even hit him WITH his weakness (Being the fire slash separation thing and the separating before a Flame Sword). Not to mention he’s taller than you, so your buster isn’t going to hit his only vulnerable part being his upper body. It’s just really... annoying. Not a BAD fight by any means, I just don’t like it. 4/10.

Duo - I dunno if I should count this, really, since it isn’t a boss fight, per se, just a miniboss. But I’m counting it. And I think someone was playing Armored Armadillo's fight, because that’s this minus the cannon. 4/10 for lack of originality as well as a lack of a health bar.

Wily 1 Boss - MEGA BALL, THE FIGHT. I really like it! It’s a fun puzzle, trying to figure out where the Mega Ball needs to be fired from to hit the guy. And the bomb he uses at a third of his health bar is a fun decoy! 8/10!

Wily 2 Boss - USE ASTRO CRUSH TO WIN. 10/10 because flying is fun.

Wily 3 Boss - Meh. It’s a new Devil type with an interesting concept, but they reused the same guy for an INTRO STAGE boss in &Bass, so I can’t say he’s difficult... (I say despite him being the only fortress boss I died to). 7/10.

Wily Machine - Unmemorable. I replayed the game last week and I hardly remember the thing. 6/10.

Wily Capsule - It’s really just the same old here. Not too much changed, and it’s even easier than 7′s. Then again 7′s is widely stated to be the most deadly one. 7/10. Still fun, I guess, but not as much as 7′s.

Stages

Intro - Serves its purpose, and teaches the Mega Ball and Swimming mechanics really well.10/10.

Frost Man - Best part is the Jet Sled. I LOVE that part. 9/10.

Tengu Man - Bit slow and enemy heavy for my tastes, but the Rush section was cool. 7/10.

Clown Man - I love the entire concept of this stage, and I think it was executed really well... except for the pirate ship part. That’s too enemy heavy when you don’t have any weapons that are good enemy killers. 7/10.

Grenade Man - This is a simple stage done really well! Not much else to say here. 8/10.

Mid - Didn’t need to exist. 2/10.

Sword Man - This really should have been the Mid Stage, since it’s all about learning the alternate attacks for your first set of weapons. You could end up going here last, and that isn’t good if you want to learn how to use your weapons. Still, it’s good. 7/10.

Astro Man - I like the maze sections! And they make up the majority of the stage, so 8/10.

Aqua Man - Loooong.... Not really that fun, either... 5/10.

Search Man - This is the best stage. 10/10.

Wily Stages

Wily 1 - I liked the Snowboarding stage, and that was rather fun. 9/10.

Wily 2 - I liked Tengu Man’s stage, and this made it even better with a Boss IN THE SKY! 10/10!

Wily 3 - It’s the Only normal platforming stage in Wily Tower, which I found odd. It’s a fun stage, though! 7/10.

Wily 4 - It’s a rematch stage. That’s about it. 10/10 since you can actually know where each boss is located without playing 10 times.

Other

Music - Not as good as 7, but they’re good themes. I especially love Sword Man. Overall, 6/10.

Handling - It’s really just kinda... slow. Swimming is fast, oddly enough, but the rest of the game other than the snowboarding in Wily 1 and Frost Man is really slow. I mean Mega Man’s speed, it’s really responsive, but slow. Overall, 5/10.

Bolts - I like how this is a scavenger hunt that utilizes your more technical weapons. I said it. I really like that aspect, I like how you have to be smart with your bolts. I can’t really put this on an of 10 rating, but I’ll say that I liked it.

301/400, or a 75%.

El eclipse lunar y soltar amarres

Domingo, 6 de julio de 2020.

Abrimos Hemisferio y cerramos el mes con un plato de ñoquis. Julio ya está aquí. Cruzó nuestro umbral como quien toca la puerta y entra, invitándose a sí mismo, cuando apenas nos asomamos a ver quién es. Me cuesta poner en las fechas el siete que corresponde al mes. Proyecto cosas e incluso agosto me pone el pie en la puerta, y septiembre mantiene abierta la puerta del ascensor. Octubre quizá viene subiendo por la escalera, noviembre se paró en el descanso a amarrarse los cordones, y diciembre aún no encuentra las llaves de la entrada del edificio. Pero ninguno está en la calle ya. No están apurados, pero van haciendo su ascenso, sumando números en el calendario, mientras nos entretenemos con teorías de lo que viene, cosas que los meses no escuchan. Podemos imaginar mil escenarios de lo que pasará: brotes, rebrotes, libertad, confinamiento, calma; los meses no oyen, ellos siguen subiendo por la caja de la escalera. Hoy que es luna llena, toca pensar en procesos concluidos y cosas que queremos quemar, y cuyo humo se sume a la bruma. Cerramos un ciclo de eclipses de tres años, en los ejes de Cáncer y Capricornio, dos signos que representan la familia y la estructura; los ancestros y el legado. Nos hacen cuestionar las creencias que traíamos hasta ahora y que ya no sirven, tanto en casa como sistema. En una luna capricorniana, que nos hace pensar en la ley bajo la que operamos y las verdades que nos rigen, rompemos con creencias de un sistema mustio, y nos llevamos solo aquello que honra lo que nos ha traído hasta aquí. Pienso que, tal vez, esta será la era en que nos habremos preguntado perpetuamente cómo llegamos hasta aquí. El momento en que se encumbra un proceso de acumulación invisible, que ahora se derrama y se nos hace ineludible, y tratamos de encontrar la fuente, el punto de inicio, el porqué. Cuándo fue que se nos fue de las manos, pensamos, tanto social como personalmente. Cuándo fue que nos adelantamos a nosotrxs mismxs, y perdimos noción de nuestra traza. Como decían que el eclipse nos tocaba a las seis y media de la mañana en Barcelona, despertamos temprano y subimos a la azotea a recibir el amanecer. No alcanzamos a ver la luna, pero la sentimos en alguna parte interponiéndose entre el sol y la Tierra. Algunos edificios lejanos reflejaron los primeros rayos del día, unos prismas metálicos que en cualquier instancia miro con desazón por su altura sobre construcciones bajas, pero hoy aprecié sus espejos. Hoy brillaron rayos naranjas en su superficie. Las bandadas revoloteaban y sonaban más fuerte que el leve rumor de la vida que se inicia un domingo en la madrugada. Aprovecho para estirarme como no lo he hecho en un tiempo, lo que me ha costado una ligera espalda de armadillo protegido. Con cada estiramiento, dejo un día atrás, se suelta una tensión expirada, alguna preocupación deja mi cuerpo y se la lleva el olvido. Recupero movilidad, aunque mis brazos, mis piernas y mi abdomen se quejan del agote inmediato que significa el cambio, la vuelta al movimiento, y queman levemente mientras reaprenden su acomodo, mientras se me hace evidente este cuerpo que olvido en el letargo y estatismo, y que creo consolidado, cuando incluso allí se encuentra en recomposición, endurecimiento muscular, rigidez, que cuando jalo en una dirección contraria a su decaer, se queja, como los niños peleando contra el sueño cuando tratan de mantenerse despiertos para no perderse de cualquier sucesos, como baten sus pestañas para resistir la gravedad sobre sus párpados y se pinchan a sí mismos mientras buscan un lugar donde apoyar la cabeza, porque no solo se busca una cosa, porque podemos acomodarnos para dormir aunque queramos mantenernos despiertos. Pienso en eso con la luna en eclipse. En el signo que acuna –Cáncer– y el que consolida –Capricornio–, y sus movimientos coordinados, en dos signos que se oponen y complementan en el círculo de los astros. Pienso en que en un leve estiramiento se entienden muchas cosas. Si roto mis hombros, mis músculos suenan como cuerdas de una guitarra, tensos. Cualquier movimiento, cualquier flexibilidad será recuperada con tiempo y un dolor no del todo perturbador ni inhabilitante, aunque presente. La tensión que da lugar al espacio cuando tiro los brazos hacia al frente y jalo mi cadera hacia atrás, que si bien miran en distintas direcciones, pertenecen al mismo cuerpo, que en el centro encuentra aire. Donde comienza a soltar amarres. Que tengan buen eclipse. Muévanse con lenidad. Sean suaves con ustedes, este y las lunas llenas siempre nos remueven por dentro.

Amandina.

October finally arrives with a fresh set of music from new to familiar artists alike.

Debuts!

Single Cover for ‘my’

Cover for ‘The First Scene’

October 1 was the official debut of singer-songwriter Youra . She hypnotizes us with her gentle and unique voice in her first single, ‘my‘. Its minimalistic sound makes you want to wander around anywhere that is brisk and has fall foliage.

Youra has been gaining attention by releasing her own music through Soundcloud, which led her to be one of 015B‘s guest singer for the song ‘My Hair is Green‘. She is currently working with producers like Car, The Garden on her upcoming album. I can’t wait!

youtube

Next up is another solo debut from a member of SNSD and sub-unit Oh!GG. Yuri shines not only in the music video for ‘Into You,’ but also throughout her first mini-album ‘The First Scene‘. The album has very well musical versatility from chic (‘Illusion‘ and ‘C’est La Vie (That’s LIFE!)‘)to sweet (‘Butterfly‘), and finishing it off with deep emotions (‘Chapter 2‘ and ‘Ending Credit (To be continued)‘). Like an actress, she is able to convince the audience that she’s capable of filling any character, or in this case, any genre.

youtube

Seeing Astro member Cha Eun Woo on the thumbnail, I assumed Astro had a new special track. But one can’t avoid seeing that the artist name is S.O.U.L (Sound of Ultra Light). A new group? Kinda.

S.O.U.L is a unit group for an upcoming web series called ‘Top Management‘. Soompi reported back in April that the series is based on an internet novel. ‘Top Management’ will be released later this year, being the first drama produced and released by Youtube Red.

S.O.U.L’s song ‘Get Myself With You‘ is funky and light, and it’s impressive to see and hear actors Ahn Hyo Seop and Jung Yoo Ahn take on vocals. Check out their cute music video below!

youtube

Comebacks!

‘New Kids: The Final’ Album Cover

‘PART 2 RE:FRESH’ Cover Art

‘Dawn’ Album Cover

‘TOPGUN’ Album Cover

It’s only been two months since the chart-topping group, iKON, made their comeback. They quickly return to the scene this month, finishing off their ‘New Kids’ series with ‘New Kids: The Final‘. The music video leading the mini-album is the sentimental-pop, ‘Goodbye Road‘. The strings in this song are well balanced with the upbeat throughout the song. It makes me want iKON to release a strings version, along with their other hits. iKON has gone soft and soulful in their own way this time around, which provides a perfect wind down from their bountiful releases this year.

youtube

After six months from debuting, rookie-group Noir are confidently reaching for the skies on ‘Airplane Mode‘. Along with the flight concept, they promote another mini-album conveniently titled like the Tom Cruise movie, ‘TOPGUN‘. The production of this album slightly reminded me of OSTs of flight simulation action video games, like ‘Ace Combat’.

youtube

Gloom arises with pop-rock band The Rose as they comes back with ‘She’s In The Rain‘. It leads their second mini album, ‘Dawn‘ and it’s very sentimental. Each track creates a heartbreaking narrative of loving and losing that love. Its overall gloomy tone can still provide comfort in distressing times as it connects with listeners who are struggling from daily life.

youtube

Soyou shows her saucy side with her title-track, ‘All Night (Prod. Groovy Room, Oreo) with Sik-K‘. The instrumental in this track is like a modernized interpretation of tango music which is fun to dance to. Sik-K‘s feature is like adding some nice spice to this rhythmic flavor of a song.

youtube

Soyou promotes her second EP ‘PART.2 [RE:FRESH]‘, and continues to reign as ‘queen of collaboration’ as each track title credits big names of those she’s worked with. Involved in production also includes soloist DAVII, singer/songwriter Yoon Hyun Sang; and producers Armadillo (JYP), e. one ( WJSN‘s ‘Secret‘ and EXO‘s ‘Lucky‘), Seion, and Yu Jin Gyeong. She even credits herself for the bluesy ‘Shadows‘.

youtube

What do you think of these releases so far?

El recorrido del sol

Basado en el videoclip «We were beautiful» de Belle & Sebastian

Los últimos rayos de sol aún caen sobre la ciudad manchando todo con su resplandor amarillo, bañando el horizonte con su espíritu radiante que nos visita desde las mañanas. Ya lo he hecho todo: desperté, aseé mi cuerpo, me puse ese vestido fucsia que tanto envidian mis colegas, desayuné, salí a la oficina, trabajé como una condenada, almorcé frente a un puesto pequeño de deliciosa comida oriental, regresé al trabajo por unas horas más, volví a casa. Ahora el sol se despedía de la ciudad, mientras yo veía su luz, envidiosa de no ser quien se va de viaje.

Alrededor del astro dorado, los habitantes de esta urbe se desplazan de un lugar a otro, los vehículos corren hasta perderse detrás de la cortina de mi ventana, los nuevos monumentos son erigidos pacientemente por manos endurecidas. Desde mi ventana puedo espiar a un hombre dentro de un carro, que al igual que yo, admira la ciudad antes que oscurezca. Intercambiamos miradas por un momento, desconociendo la historia de cada quien. Asumo que es turista: viaja en taxi y viste a la usanza de alguien que viene de otra región. Sólo los turistas y las mujeres locas podemos ver la ciudad con ojos curiosos, mientras que el resto sólo camina y ve publicidad, ni siquiera se percatan que estamos vigilándolos.

Estoy segura que en algún lugar de esta ciudad hay una mujer más feliz que yo, quien ve televisión en el sofá mientras acaricia el cabello sedoso de su hijo. Lo hace lentamente, pensando algo indefinido, como qué hará de cena o qué debería usar en la salida con sus amigas el fin de semana. Sus pensamientos transcurren como el hojear pausado de un libro lleno de ilustraciones, sin razón alguna para apresurar el paso, sin arrepentimientos por un pasado que quedó sepultado bajo flores de arrepentimiento y joyas resplandecientes. Me doy cuenta que ahora el niñito está embelesado con un juguete de plástico mientras la televisión transcurre sin pausas.

A lo lejos percibo el ruido de niños gritando de emoción, quizás sus padres están lejos y ellos aprovechan la ausencia del castigo para saltar sobre la cama como pequeños rufianes. ¡Qué salvajes, jajaja! Las almohadas son esparcidas por todo el cuarto mientras los pies descalzos bailan sobre el colchón; las risas y los gritos aumentan pero no logro distinguir qué intentan decirse. Sólo puedo imaginar sus sonrisas ingenuas, sus cabellos desordenados después de la ducha de las seis, las manitas sacudiéndose en el aire, los juguetes y animales de peluche que convierten sus habitaciones en espacios atiborrados. Qué triste que no pueda verlos realmente. Mi única ventana sólo permite ver el edificio de enfrente y otros más altos, los cuales tienen ventanas tan pequeñas como la mía, semejando una obra de arte abstracto compuesto por retículas suspendidas sobre gris, interrumpida por los árboles tupidos que crecieron desordenados con los años.

Sé que siempre te has preguntando cómo es Glasgow, qué misterios omiten los blogs de turismo. Debo decirte que he ido más allá de George Square y el famoso armadillo. Desde mi último viaje a París, estoy cansado de agencias de viajes que me digan qué hacer. «Has sido sabio» una anciana en el avión alabó mi elección cuando lo comenté en medio de una charla con viajeros desconocidos. He llegado aquí sin siquiera reservar una habitación de hotel, sin revisar Google Maps en mi celular. Si las cosas empeoran, pasaré la noche en alguna discoteca hasta que amanezca y estaré forzado a tomar el primer tren de la madrugada.

Casi cae el sol y es mucho lo que aún me queda por conocer. Decidí entonces subir a un taxi y pedí al conductor que me llevase hasta el otro extremo de la ciudad, él sólo sonrió y aceleró enseguida sin decir una palabra. Te sorprendería lo mucho que se puede conocer a una ciudad cuando se observa más allá de los espectáculos y las recomendaciones de viaje. Apenas iniciamos el recorrido, pude darme cuenta que las tiendas comenzaban a cerrar y algunas calles se veían desoladas, excepto por una familia que regresaba a casa mientras los niños aún vestían uniforme escolar. En el parque, los muchachos apresuraban el partido de fútbol para así correr a casa mientras oscurece.

Los vehículos dejaron de existir ante mis ojos. Solamente observaba transeúntes y edificios altos que interrumpían el horizonte con sus cientos de ventanas y muros grises. Siento un alivio tremendo, veía todo sin el estorbo de algún guía de viaje, indicándome datos aburridos que podía conseguir en los primeros cinco resultados de búsqueda en Internet. Dos mujeres hermosas corrían tomadas de la mano, no pude dejar de observarlas, me recordó a tu vida cuando Blanca aún estaba a tu lado. Ustedes dos siempre sonreían, dándose besos inesperados en cualquier lugar. Te juro que esos días podía entrar a una discoteca y distinguir sus siluetas bailando en medio de la multitud. Mantenían un lazo envidiable hasta que vino el error. Entonces estuviste desilusionada por semanas, quizás meses; no había meditación espiritual ni píldoras, sólo silencio absoluto en la habitación de tu apartamento. Me hacías preguntas sobre Blanca, yo las esquivaba todas y te animaba a salir. No necesitas leer esto, sé que lo recuerdas.

A pesar de todo el dolor, aún pienso en ustedes como la pareja ideal, y sé que no cambiarías ningún acontecimiento por nada del mundo. A propósito de Blanca: he descubierto una mujer escocesa muy parecida a ella. Por alguna razón, ambos nos espiábamos mientras el taxi hacía su recorrido. Pero la similitud no está en su rostro porque logré verla al lado de una cortina, parada frente a la ventana de su apartamento, sino que parecía Blanca en la mirada. Los mismos ojos avellana, azules cuando la tristeza los invade. Nos seguimos largamente hasta que el taxi escapó de su vista.

Luego que aquello ocurrió, no pude parar de reírme y el conductor del taxi se puso nervioso. Sentía unas ganas tremendas de volver a aquel edificio y confrontarla, preguntarle si podía volver junto a ti. «¡Debo estar loco!» pensé mientras bajaba del carro, imaginaba que Blanca y tú regresaban, que habían superado toda adversidad y que ahora volvían a caminar de la mano en medio de la noche. Al diablo con Jeanette, sé que es su nueva novia, pero se trata de mi imaginación y justo ahora vuelvo a imaginarlas en la intimidad de tu habitación, protegidas por el atrapasueños que les regalé cuando apenas comenzaban a conocerse.

No sé qué ha visto ese hombre en mí. Dios mío, he quedado perpleja. Por un momento pensé que el taxi se detendría y que mis pies me llevarían a planta baja a preguntarle sobre su ciudad de origen, qué le ha llamado la atención de mí. ¡Los turistas son los especímenes más cautivadores! Comenzó a sonar una música hermosa, recordé entonces que una banda de rock ensayaba en el piso de abajo algunas tardes, «Write about love, it could be in any tense, but it must make sense» canté tan fuerte como pude mientras bailaba hacia la cocina, se abrió mi apetito y fui por un refrigerio.

Con una taza de té y un par de galletitas regresé a la ventana. Si pasa otro turista con mirada curiosa quizás me anime a preguntarle cosas insólitas desde lejos, como por qué fuimos hermosos antes de ser sabios y por qué ahora no hay simplemente un cielo bajo nuestras cabezas. Finalmente llega la noche, cierro los ojos para concentrarme en los sonidos de la ciudad.
