Rock Man 8/Mega Man 8: Metal Heroes

WARNING!!! This is the PS1 version of the game, so no Cut Man or Wood Man boss fights

Order: Tengu -> Clown -> Grenade -> Frost -> Aqua -> Sword -> Search -> Astro

Pros

Cons

The Easiest Order

Rock Man 9/Mega Man 9: The Ambition's Revival

Order 1: Galaxy -> Jewel -> Plug -> Tornado -> Magma(Rush Jet) -> Hornet -> Splash -> Concrete

Pros

Cons

The Easiest Order(You'll have no problem dealing with the bosses; mostly with the stages, but that's an IF)
You'll get awesome weapons at the earliest possibility
Galaxy Man is an easy RB, and so is his stage
The only order, which works well with Proto Man, imo

Galaxy Man's fight is a bit lenghty
Inability to gain some items(Giant bolt in Plug Man's Stage, for example)

Alt 1: Splash -> Concrete -> Galaxy -> Jewel ->Plug(Rush Jet) -> Tornado -> Magma -> Hornet

Pros

Cons

She takes 2x Damage from Mega Buster/Proto Buster
Her weapon is armor-piercing, the most damaging weapon in the game(according to some players) and has a lot of ammo
Rush Jet before Tornado Man(I never struggled with it, but, just for those, who struggle with Tornado Man's stage)

Splash Woman's Laser Trident deals heavy damage to Mega Man(twice as much for Proto Man)
You MIGHT struggle with Paozos in Concrete Man's Stage afterwards(or go straight somewhere other than Concrete Man)

Alt 2: Hornet -> Splash -> Concrete -> Galaxy -> Jewel(Rush Jet) ->Plug -> Tornado -> Magma

Pros

Cons

Hornet Chaser helps getting items that aren't within reach(Giant Bolt in Plug Man and 1up in Jewel Man, for example)
You'll have an upper hand against Stone Head(Jewel Man Stage's Mini-Boss)[Hornet + Laser]

Hornet Man isn't easy
Hanabiran/Flower is not an easy boss to deal with in Hornet Man's Stage
Not a good start for Proto Man

Robot Masters:

Boss	Weak Against	Gives You
Galaxy Man	Concrete Shot(4)	Black Hole Bomb
Jewel Man	Black Hole Bomb(5) or Jewel Satellite(2)	Jewel Satellite
Plug Man	Jewel Satellite(4)	Plug Ball
Tornado Man	Plug Ball(3)	Tornado Blow
Magma Man	Tornado Blow(6)	Magma Bazooka
Hornet Man	Magma Bazooka(2:4)	Hornet Chaser
Splash Woman	Hornet Chaser(4) or Laser Trident/Mega Buster(2) or Proto Buster(2:4)	Laser Trident
Concrete Man	Laser Trident(3)	Concrete Shot

Bosses:

Boss	Weak Against
Spike Pushers	Mega Buster (Best not to waste ammo on this boss)
Mega Mech Shark(All 3 Phases)	Laser Trident/Tornado Blow(4) or Magma Bazooka/Proto Buster(2:4) (Everything else deals 2 damage)
Twin Devil	Black Hole Bomb(6) or Proto Buster(2:4) or Tornado Blow/Mega Buster(2)
Wily Machine 9, Phase 1	Eggs to the Face (You can use Mega Buster or Magma Bazooka, if you want to, for triple shot)
Wily Machine 9, Phase 2	Concrete Shot(4)
Wily Capsule	Plug Ball(3) or Jewel Satellite/Black Hole Bomb(2) or Hornet Chaser(1)( tracks and hits Wily at any point he appears

Sub-Bosses:

Boss	Weak Against
Changkey Dragon( Magma Man )	Concrete Shot or Black Hole Bomb or Hornet Chaser or Tornado Blow( although, save it for Magma Man )
Hanabiran/Flower( Hornet Man + Wily Castle Stage 2 + Special Stages )	Magma Bazooka or Concrete Shot
Paozo/Elephant( Concrete Man + Special Stages )	Magma Bazooka or Plug Ball or Tornado Blow
Stone Head( Jewel Man + Fake Man )	Hornet Chaser or Laser Trident or Plug Ball or Tornado Blow( Hornet + Laser combo works well; Hornet tracks Stone Head and Laser Trident deals tremendous damage )

Special:

Boss	Weak Against	Weapon
Fake Man	Jewel Satellite(3)	Revolver Buster(not obtainable)

*You can't get Proto Buster while playing as Mega Man and can only use it as Proto Man(and vice versa)
*For Proto Buster, it always deals 1 damage when fired normally, 3 when charged to any boss(except Splash Woman, Mega Mech Shark, Twin Devil, as well as bosses who can't be damaged with weapons)
*The Spike Pushers and Wily Machine 9's first phase do not have damage data, as they must be damaged by hitting them with their own weapons.
*For Proto Buster and Magma Bazooka, the first digit is the damage done when the weapon is fired normally, and the second digit is damage done when the weapon is charged up.
*Using Tornado Blow against Shark Submarine's second phase when there are two hatches will inflict 4 units of damage to each, coming out to 8 damage total.

Rock Man 10/Mega Man 10: Threat From Outer Space

Order: Sheep -> Pump -> Solar -> Chill -> Nitro(Rush Jet after his stage) -> Commando -> Blade -> Strike(The MOST Recommendend for Bass)

Pros

Cons

The Easiest Order for Bass(Fine for both Mega Man and Proto Man)
Sheep Man and his stage are easy(If you're Bass)
Rush Jet before Commando Man's Stage(If you're Mega Man)

Stage and Boss are not so easy for Mega Man and Proto Man
No Rush Jet before Pump Man's Stage, if you're Mega Man

Alt 1: Blade -> Strike -> Sheep -> Pump -> Solar(Rush Jet after his stage) -> Chill -> Nitro -> Commando(The MOST Recommendend for Mega Man and Proto Man)

Pros

Cons

The Easiest Order for Mega Man and Proto Man(Fine, if you're Bass)
Blade Man's not difficult
Triple Blade is a powerful and useful weapon to obtain first-hand(works great against most of the Sub-Bosses)
Rush Jet before Commando Man's and Pump Man's Stages(If you're Mega Man)

Still no Rush Jet before Pump Man's Stage, again, not necessary(Unless you're Mega Man, but even then, it's manageable)
Boss fight is a bit long(and tedious[[b]on Hard[/b]])(and a bit hard if you're Bass)
Stage is quite cheap on Hard(Then again, what stage in the game isn't cheap on Hard?)

Boss	Weak Against	Gives You

*Proto Buster deals 1 damage when fired normally and 3, when charged up to all bosses in MM10

*For Chill Spike, the first number is contact made with the blob; the second number is the spike trap.
*For Thunder Wool, the first number is contact made with the cloud; the second number is the lightning bolt.
*Any boss weak to Rebound Striker takes more damage the more times the weapon bounces along surfaces. For every bounce, the damage goes up by one, for a maximum of five boosts.

Uh, the weaknesses for HannyaNED are all wrong. I can't get ANY of those attacks to work on it. Turns out it's weak to Noise Crush. Never seen one of these guides wrong before. Dang.

[Mozgus]

Who does those cover arts?

[Itsame]

Small notes: Spike pushers are somewhat weak to plug ball(pushes spike balls further per shot), Wood man weapon archive is weak to wheel cutter, and commando man has a pseudo weakness to rapid fire busters (he has no I-frames in the air)

[Roundmaru™]

Blade Man is very easy to dispatched with the Ballade Cracker and can be a great starting point for Mega Man allowing you to have his weapon at the start of the loop instead of the end.

Otherwise most people would find Blade Man hard to do with vanilla and would opt to start with Sheep.

[Shmooooey]

You can play those special stages in Challenges -> MM10 -> Time Attack -> Last 3 challenges. Warning! Those stages and their respective bosses are quite hard. I defeated Punk first and everything after was smooth

[MrWhopperwithfries]

Lol thanks ok. I found out that they are gotten through a DLC.

[Shmooooey]

No, you don't have to do anything to fight them. They're marked special, because they have their own special stages and cannot be defeated through the main game. I apologize for taking so long to respond!

[MrWhopperwithfries]

So what do you mean by "special" above the chart for Enker, Punk, and Ballade? Is there a certain thing I have to do to fight them?
