Thanks for watching!

Mega Man Battle Network and Star Force deserved every ounce of love that they get. Personally, I love battle network more but, Star Force is a worthy successor. Props to you monger for giving light on how these games are quite a blast.

Geo and Omega-Xis might be my favorite Mega Man out of them all, character-wise. The main plot in this game is so good.

now megaman star force needs a collection!

Black ace 100%. Imo it feels more canon than Red Joker (when you play 3, you'll understand)

So happy to see this video out though. It's nice to see people give it a shot and not write it off, and actually _appreciate the story about dealing with trauma and depression_

Yay!!! More people are talking about this series. Let's hope this leads to Capcom remastering this series.

[error_.]

Fun fact: either in the beta for full games code there are assets of a 3d mega man.exe and a reimagined acdc town which could mean it started off as BN 7

Starforce is my first and my favourite megaman game that i found by a complete accident :)

[eLleSnDee]

Geo (and Omega) was my Megaman. I only really enjoyed the OG and X series causally as the "hard but fun video games my uncle keeps letting me borrow", but having discovered the first Starforce game during a certain period of my teenage life, its story and characters really captivated me.
Whenever I remember the series these days, I still get super bummed that it was basically cut short.

P.S. Omega is true best girl, but Sonia and Luna are close seconds

What I loved about Starforce is how much each one improves on the last. BN was great, but the improvements were way less consistent.

[Kyotosomo]

I still feel the Battle Network series is significantly better gameplay wise, however I do think the Starforce series is probably better story wise (though it was pretty low bar to surpass).

35:10 - Actually they do actually meet again. Similarly to BN4 and Boktai 2, Lunar Knights has a crossover scenario with Star Force that takes place after Star Force’s half of the crossover.

Long story short. Omega-Xis and a re-revived Taurus end up in the Boktai world. Omega-Xis is stuck with the Lunar Knights guys, severely gimped without Geo around, while Taurus becomes Taurus Fire (something all the FM-ians can just do after dying and coming back) and starts a conquest with the local monster hordes. Eventually Geo gets to cross between worlds to wave change right as Taurus (rendered otherwise untouchable because of the wave roads) reaches his peak power… and Taurus gets slaughtered in under 15 seconds with just the buster. The good guys all leave happy, roll credits.

An excellent video about an underrated game: the Starforce franchise is my favorite video game. You made a fantastic video, and it made my day to see this. 🤗 I think it's good to split the videos up rather than just one massive load of information.

[brunolinares]

I find it amusing that the idea of "Battle Network going henshin" already had its roots within the BN anime

[AeonKnigh]

I hope that since more attention is being brought to Battle Network and Star Force we get a remake or successor, especially since 11 wasn't too long ago

[Indigorhob]

Battle Network, Starforce, and ZX Advent defined my megaman experience and made me love the franchise

[Blizzardfire]

I absolutely loved the Starforce series. The use of constellations in the first game was a huge plus for me since it reminded me of my favorite anime, Saint Seiya, I couldn't stop smiling at the cheese scene when Geo comes up with the "Megaman" name and they game's theme starts playing, and the ending credits with Geo's capsule following his friends' signal back to Earth as the ending theme plays legit got me emotional the first time I saw it.

This is the best video related to Mega Man Star Force on Youtube, excellent job.

This is such a special game and there's so much to say about even beyond whats covered here but you more than got the point across and I finally feel like the series is in decent enough hands fanbase wise, I used to vouch for these games wherever I could as for quite a bit they were either slept on or just harshly scrutinized by people who I could tell either approached them with some form of bias(This isn't Battle Network crowd, or the It's not a real Mega Man game crowd) or just wrote them off entirely.

The entire series is underrated yes but the first game was THE video game even I someone who isn't really a content creator wanted to make something for, while the drive isn't quite what it used to be it's still one of my all time favorites and I hope I can pay proper tribute to it someday.

With people like you around it's safe to say I wasn't crazy for liking it so much, and that I can pass the torch and relax, feels great.

Don't want to spoil much but while he'll always be a meathead, Bud will get more growth down the line and ngl Prez/Luna is my preference between the two heroines, she's so misunderstood but you didn't dismiss her and I'm grateful.

While I doubt we'll ever see Star Force 4 again, I do hope that at least one day we'll see Star Force's Mega Man get to team up with and/or trade blows with Ryu and other Capcom legends in one of their iconic crossover fighting games, His potential is absolutely insane and he's just begging to be brought into the genre.

YES FINALLY STARFORCE. Never played these games so a retrospective is a perfect way to experience them

[mayborneflower]

34:45 - What’s neat here is that the difficulty is warranted. In the second game, Sonia straight-up implies that this guy is somewhere around the AM Sage-Andromeda ballpark of power from meeting him on her own.

Oh… and there’s someone under his employer even stronger than he is. But that’s its own story. Looking forward to Monger’s retrospective.

[revanmega]

I’ve played all the battle networks before i played starforce. I remember when I got it the day it came out i was already hooked and loved the game. All megaman gameboy and ds games are under rated. Never knew about the DX version im definitely going to give it a try thank you for these videos keep up the great work
