    This was an incredible TAS. I’m not the biggest fan of MM2, but this made me appreciate the game a lot more. I’m curious if the weird falling to the bottom of the screen and ending right by the boss door could be used in other games because I think the engines for the NES MM games are slightly similar. I hope some of these techniques can be used in other games. Either way, this is really cool and easily one of my favorites.

    @warmCabin

    4 ай бұрын

    We don't react to bad patterns, we manipulate good ones. The term for it in the scene is luck manipulation. We basically enter the fight, and if the pattern's bad, load state, wait a frame, try again. Mega Man 2 makes this especially easy because your subpixel feeds directly into the RNG, so we can almost always get what we want with 0 delay.

  • @phoenixdaronco9540

    @phoenixdaronco9540

    2 жыл бұрын

    I think the trigger works because Shinryu confuses the game by adding to the amount of sprites onscreen, and it causes the game to program a transition instead of a pit. Like for instance, Shinryu was able to transition down the pit at the end of Bubble Man's stage because of all the explosions, crabs, and Metal Blades present on screen. I'm not particularly an expert on speedrunning, but I think that sounds right.

    The Bubble Lead only allows two instances to be active on-screen at a time but you can totally mash buttons at point blank range to make it seem like he's firing a machine gun. Very easy to do on Heatman's boss fight but it burns through the ammo faster than you can damage him due to invincibility frames.

    I wish this could be done RTA 18:36 but there's noooo way. There's the randomness of whether the fish will appear or not then the TAS probably extends i frames with lag and there are those 2 precise jumps on the spike thing and on the corridor's floor. Probably ends the zip with fewer than 5 invincibility frames left, if it's not frame perfect even.

    I did a glitch known as DelayDownScroll. It scrolls me to the next screen from below. For example I do that at other stages such as Bubbleman and Woodman but in Dr. Wily 1 it allows me to kill Mecha Dragon with one hit at that certain room. I also perform a trick known as Double Death as seen at the end of Heatman fight so I can teleport even after Rockman dies. Rockman teleports 8 pixels a frame as far I can remeber right so it's a handy trick.

    At 18:37, the Big Fish (actual enemy name) clearly hits Megaman and triggers mercy invincibility in order to setup for the Item1 Zip. Why doesn't Megaman's lifebar decrease from the apparent contact with Big Fish? The wiki says it should do 10 (ten) damage, if I'm not mistaken.

    They straight up don't hurt you on the Japanese version. No obscure glitch, they just deal 0 damage. The wiki probably needs to be updated.

    Multiple bosses in MM2 have more than one "weakness". Atomic Fire can one-shot Wood Man but it takes longer to charge to full strength than just rapid firing with Air Man's weapon.
