12:38 Bubble Man: "What the heck's going on? I don't remember ordering such a klutzy construction crew! Unless... Metal Man, get down right now!" Mega Man: (slow clap).
The fact he let Heat Man kill him at the same time Heat Man died and the game counted it as Mega Man's win is a SUPREME flex move.
Wow. This is the first MM2 TAS i've seen in a good few years. Absolutely blew my mind at some points even though I knew about the zipping strats already.
Jesus I had no idea Wood Man's stage was so broken
That ending made this game so beautiful, you had to fight such a hard battle to be able to see those end credit arts. Fantastic job on rewarding the gamer exponentially for fighting such a terribly hard game.

Just read the author’s comment on the posted TAS link. The dedication of him and his friends to this game is amazing!
I like how the first couple stages are fairly normal, then the rest of the game I'm just "um excuse me what just happened"
This is just..... Insane
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.

Very impressive gameplay. Megaman vs Heatman draw

Bubble man fight at 12:25 was hilarious. Wow
i wonder how the Tas deals with different kind of boss paterns. do you just run it enough times until you get the perfect run or can it react in some way?
@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.
12:25 until the boss kill is just next level stuff.

7:45 and 12:28 , Megaman clearly falls DOWN and it triggers the before the boss screen? I don't get that ... If I try this myself it's instant death ... how does the triggers work into those screens?
@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.
Wait the background stars in the robot master intros are the birds? How did I not notice they were birds?

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.
Wow!
I've been wondering, watching TAS videos: does the spinning Metal Blade hurt you if you run into it?
Is there gonna be a reupload of this with visible controller inputs? You know, like the last tas for Mega Man 2? I like seeing the controller inputs, especially on the "Get Weapon" screen.

Yep you got it right. Releasing a charge of atomic fire after dying bypasses and shortens the death animation. Death animation and fire charge must use the same memory address and interfere with each other, Idk. You can do it while playing, it's super easy.
I hope some of these zips are possible for a human to do, it's fun to do them in playthroughs lol

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.
