Top spin is a stupid ability

[FDru]

Just what the hell.

There are certain things in the Megaman world that are so stupid we just pretend they are normal.

The main one being; "I know! Let's NOT put a bullet in Wilys' brain. Instead let's just put him in a cell again. He can't escape an 8th time, right?".

It can kill Shadow Man in two hits and Gamma in one. So not useless.

To be fair Wily was only captured twice, at the ends of MM2 and MM6. After MM2 he was forced to work for Dr Light and the government but since he's Dr Wily he still managed to ruin things. MM6 is the only time he actually went to jail and then he got busted out at MM7. Every other time he got away himself.

Also Top Spin is generally pretty good to get rid of minions like the bolts, the parachute guys, or the pole vaulters, since they tend to appear in places you are jumping at.

The problem is that MM3 was released incomplete, and thus top spin wasn't finished either. Have you noticed when it drains completely in one go when battling a robot master? That's because you are using it within the boss' hitbox while the boss is under i-frames, and since it wasn't coded properly, it will drain its energy in a second without pushing you outside of the hitbox.

Believe it or not, I actually use the top spin to get rid of those parachute enemies in shadow man's stage.

Just need to experiment and learn which enemies can die instantly from it.

A lot of things in megaman 3 are stupid if you ask me. In the fan game mega maker, they make top spin really useful. It's basically a pogo jump akin to Ducktales.

Top Spin is not useless, nor the worst ability in Mega Man. Just check qzecwx's video of him beating Shadow Man stage using it. /watch?v=rPYHstNYOSM
Before attacking Top Spin, you should attack Power Stone. Now that's a useless ability.

Mega Man 3 overall has pretty bad set of weapons, but to be honest I don't mind Top Spin that much, it can kill certain enemies fast and I like how silly Mega Man looks when he uses it.

If I had to choose the worst Mega Man 3 weapon I would choose Spark Shock.

the top power up sucks so much, its so hard to lay a hit on any robot master with it
