How can Mega Man 2 be this hard on Normal difficulty?

	Timson	mega man 2 pls
	Starman	eh? :P
	StarCraft	Mega Man 2?
	Timson	the birds with the eggs piss me off
	Starman	lol
	StarCraft	lol
	Starman	which stage are you on
	Starman	air man's or crash man's :P
	StarCraft	Metal Blade helps agaist the birds.
	Timson	I did Bubble Man and Metal Man
	Timson	now I'm on Airman
	StarCraft	Can't beat Air Man
	Starman	StarCraft: Leaf Shield also helps a ton
	StarCraft	It takes off a half of his HP on normal.
	Starman	are you playing on easy or normal :P
	Timson	there's Normal and Difficult
	Timson	(and Johan Agebjorn)
	StarCraft	Starman: You play Japanese version?
	Starman	Timson: so which one is it :P
	StarCraft	The only difficulty level in Rockman 2 is difficult.
	Timson	normal
	Starman	StarCraft: I know lol
	Starman	Timson: weakling

	Starman	Normal = overseas easy mode
	Timson	o
	Starman	Difficult = Jap. version
	StarCraft	Difficult halves your damage output I think.
	Timson	something I've noticed
	Timson	in Mega Man 2
	Timson	your health bar is useless
	Timson	you always either get OHKOed, or recover all your damage
	StarCraft	What?
	Timson	at least until the boss
	Starman	you're only ever OHKO'd if you land on spikes or fall in a bottomless pit :P
	StarCraft	Or the fucking lazers in Quick Man's stage.
	Starman	^ those too
	Starman	sandile go away i'm busy megastone hunting
	Starman	where is shabboneau castle again
	Starman	oh yeah, camphrier
