Man gotta love that the commentators have encyclopedic knowledge of this game.

@dwarfymcgee 4 жыл бұрын

Sinsiter1 and Cyghfer both run the game and Cyghfer used to have the WR in the zips category. These two were a great commentary choice for this run!

Coolkid’s little smile throughout the run makes me so happy. The couch guys did a great job commentating for him since it was clear he was a bit nervous. And rightly so, just look at how tight the run is!

@greecoboost 5 жыл бұрын

Yep. Both Cyghfer and Sinister1 are long time veterans of the GDQ events. They know how to effectively convey the info the viewers need without stepping all over the feet of the runner.

While its an annoying boss for sure, I gotta say, it has to be one of the best designed bosses in any game. The fact that you can either destroy all walls, die, charge up crash bombs and then kill the boss, or have super precise placements to defeat the boss in one go is unlike any other boss Ive ever seen in a video game.

@@bbarrett726 seems i'm a week late, but if you haven't heard of it yet, Zipping is basically getting Megaman pushed up into the enviroment, like the ceiling, and have the game zoom you past areas etc. Usually using item 1 i think. It's more of a glitchy run then a straight run like this.

Hell made it to Heatman because I refused to give up on learning that bullshit jump stuff and he was my first boss. I failed to kill him though but so many hours waisted learning the jumps. Such memories with this game. Damn! My first time at the Wily Castle my mom made us turn it off to attend church! Just.. man! That kills me still!

Have you actually played any of the other games or are you just saying that because everyone says that? Mega Man 2 is a good game and all of that but there’s nothing really special to it compared to the other games. Mega Man 4 is an objectively much better game and like... the Boobeam trap and alien are badly designed bosses due to you needing certain weapons to even kill them.

Interesting. When he enters Heat Man's stage after the double KO in Bubble Man, Mega Man is still playing out his "throw blade" animation, only in his default blue colors. (Blink and you'll miss it). I wouldn't figure that Mega's last state would still be stored like that.
