No luck needed, I've beaten both a few times... Just not looking forward to the loss of the mega buster once I get to part 9 again in a few days. I think it was a real stupid thing to get rid if it. Mega Man became more popular with MM3, 4 and so on. In 3 I think he gets the slide (maybe 2), but 4 is when he gets the mega buster and keeps it through part 8.

I would have been okay with the removal of the charge shot and slide if they could be unlocked after you finished the game. That being said, 9 and 10 (especially 10) are among the best Megaman games ever produced, so I can't complain too much.

I thought they were the worst... especially 9. Have you played the original 1-8?

I agree with you as they are very challenging and bring me back to Mega Man 2 which is a fav of mine although very easy.

Except X is locked away into a capsule, and judging from Dr. Light's health in the Maverick Hunter X/Day of Sigma stuff, isn't close to being complete yet, since Dr. Light seems a fair bit healthier than he does then.
But honestly, it annoys the ever-living hell out of me, not because they took them away, but did so without giving a reason. A line of two of text somewhere in the intro, in a cutscene, stating that the modules were being upgraded, or even that they had broken, or something. Otherwise, to me, it gives the feeling that Mega Man is basically becoming a jerk, i.e. "I don't even need to use this stuff to beat Wily." I get that they were trying to emulate MM2, but seriously, let the past stuff die now, please? I don't want another 8-bit Mega Man or 16-bit Mega Man X, I want a 2D Mega Man game with some nice high resolution sprites, like we've actually made some bloody progress in the last twenty years... I get that it is nostalgic, but really, in my opinion, it cheapens the brand.
