    I played Mega Man Star Force (this is from that series, not Battle Network) a year ago at a low point when I had begun studying and it has become the most impactful game in my life because of how strongly it resonated with me

      Oh damn, hell yeah. That's awesome. I feel like star force never got the room to breathe it needed.

        Got squeezed on both ends by consumers and critics growing tired of Mega Man (Battle Network) in the late 2000's and fans just wanting more Battle Network. A mediocre second game killed whatever momentum it had. It lives in the shadow of its bigger brother, I die a little inside whenever it gets mistaken for BN...

        Maybe a Legacy Collection makes people give it a fair shot as its own thing. When Super Mario 3D World got re-released it was received more positively, before it was "3D Mario at home" when rumors about Odyssey were running. Wind Waker is another famous example.

            I don't know either, I don't follow that. Before Star Force I had only played the classic series and the first X game, so I can't answer what the Battle Network community is up to. I was a toddler when those games came out.

              At least during the pandemic there was a pretty robust online battle community. They mostly played on mmbn5 via emulator and it was chill.

                  Yeah, 3 is the acclaimed favorite. I think five had the most balanced chip spread though. If you were doing competitive pvp in three I think it would be too imbalanced. People of course differed in opinion
