[SonicManEXE]

This is one of the greatest compilations of information I have ever seen on a YouTube video. I am so happy Battle Network is getting more attention and I love that I will have this to reference as I continue the Legacy Collection!

[RicochetForce]

Damn, Austin is KILLING it with the BN Collection coverage.

[unknownfactor]

Gregar crosses focus on charge attack offense

Falzar crosses focus on veristility and utility

[qstmrk]

thank you sooo much for the video i have been waiting for someone to do a comparison video like this.

[MisterX]

This was exceedingly well made and edited! Everything that needs to be known is here and explained/shown perfectly.

[mj_player]

This was really well made. I've played these games before and even I was learning a lot of new stuff. If a StarForce collection comes out I'd love for you to do a video like this for that.

[TheAzulmagia]

While you did show it in the video, it's worth noting that Navi Recycle doesn't just recycle the last Navi Chip. It also recycles all buffs attached to that chip AND can recycle Program Advances that involve Navis. Apparently, this includes Body Guard in the Legacy Collection, though Body Guard doesn't get recycled in the original English GBA versions.

I feel like some players may fail to notice how some of the BN5 footage is from the DS version (note the original font, higher quality music, extra character portraits, voice work, etc), but other then that this is a great showcase!
Oh, and one other thing! Some of the navi chips have special and simple button inputs for added effects! For example, Gyroman can be made to drop all his bombs on one target by holding L and R together, and I believe Aquaman can pull out a stronger firehose to spray a whole column, but I don't remember the input for that one

[shadowkunai]

I had no idea it was possible to actually obtain all souls in bn4. Cant wait to try it out thanks to the legacy collection

[NightSprinter]

Something to note about GyroMan's navi chip attack: holding the shoulder buttons until you hear a confirmation sound will make him bomb just the first enemy he flies over. Also, the number of blue columns determines how many bombs he drops.

Learned this watching RoahmMythril's ongoing LP of 5.

[YouAreAGoldenDeer]

Played White, Red Sun, Team Colonel, Gregar and then Falzar. Gave Falzar to a friend in elementary school.

[kelvinmulungu]

I think you mixed up the bedroom screenshots for gregar/falzar at the start...? 0:50

I had gregar as a kid and that poster was always motorcycle Django over a blue bed.

[cassettecobra]

The greatest moment of the video is at 9:28 where Austin proves he ISNT one of those people who say "Oooohh, play Colonel version, its the canon one because of the extended ending!" and actually gives counters to those people with points that give the plausibility that both can be equally canon. Protoman holding more weight than Colonel in 5 is completely true with the added point of Team Protoman consisting of actual professionals and not a rag-tag group of weirdos like in Team Colonel. Colonel leads a princess, a terrorist, a nature loving native american youth, a nerdy battlechip shop owner, and a news reporter. Protoman leads a CEO of a large company, an Ace Helicopter pilot, a fireworks/explosives expert, a young military leader with great analytical abilities, and a medical specialist. Lets face it, Team Protoman actually feels like a professional team.

But on the otherhand, why do people care so much about the story of BN when its mostly a joke and doesn't take itself too seriously? The best thing about BN is how much one can make fun of the ridiculousness of it all.

[sharkdrake]

Awsome video. Not sure if you take requests, but i'd like to see a video on GTA SA or DMC 3. Since with all the ports, it's difficult to say what the definitive way to play is?

[AStrangerOnTheInternet]

So at the end of the day BN3:Blue is the superior for 3 altogether. Navirecycle immediately uses your last Navi cup, sure. But that's nothing compared to getting that Navi chip back with the rest of your folder.

And I've been in some PVP matches where a folder recycle would have been immensely helpful.

[nelsonyoguez]

I had 6 falzar idk how far I was but I had a few Navistar and the cybeast in possession but all these other ones are new to me and so fascinating

[omarmendez]

Unpopular opinion: if Mega Man Battle Network 7 exist, it should returned to its roots AKA to be just one version just like MMBN 1 and 2.

[dustpal]

Wait, I feel like I’m misunderstanding what you are trying to say for BN4. Can you get all 12 souls in one game version? If so, when can you start doing that?

[Akuspizza]

Can anyone confirm if its possible to use the opposite version double souls in bn4 at 5:05 ? It may have just been a misunderstanding/mispoke tbh but if true it would be so cool..

[ZX-Gear]

Great. So event Chips and such are stuck in older games without cheat devices?
