Man, this play through has it all. Nifty trick shots, excellent coordination including navigating through anus tightening spikes and endless pits, as well as cool short cuts with our friend Rush the pup, and lastly, corny but hilarious jokes. It even had one really close call! This guy knows how to play a Mega Man game, I doubt I could still play this way anymore, but there is no doubt a professional here walks among us, seeking no entitlement or recognition, he just simply walks in and saves the day with his heroics. Again, this play through rocks!

It's called "Pause Cancelling". Normally you have to wait for Black Hole Bomb to go through its cycle, but if you go to the pause menu and exit out, Black Hole Bomb disappears so I can use it over and over to kill an enemy faster via in-game time. You can use this same trick to beat Twin Devils in 1 cycle if you're good enough.

You could say this is just on virtual console and they'd believe you. They really nailed it with the graphics, they really could fool anyone

YOU GOT A NEW WEAPON! -CONCRETE- GUTS SHOT

Lore run deep, this made me learn more about the series than i ever wanted to know. I was confused cuz im familiar with up through mega man legends, and not much past that weird gamecube era after it. This looks pretty neat actuslly

MaN! You got legendary timing for all of those enemies you leap over. 5-star video. Keep postin!

Really fun to watch! The captions were great. :)

Holy shit you make it seem so easy and yet this is one of the most relenting games i've played.

@1:18 I thought for a split second "Isnt he gonna swallow that big bubble before he drowns" but then I realized, Wrong Game

Dudeee, these are the collest soundtracks i've ever heared on NES. amazing :) i'll download them from somewhere.

That's what I figured - I was just amazed at how you made almost no real mistakes throughout the entire run. I can't even beat a level of that game without dying at least once. Anyway, awesome run.

2:35 "ZOMG" Welcome to 2008.

You got a new weapon! The plug ball! subtle....

Again. Best soundtrack EVARRRRRR!!! Ps. U're a true MM9 champ m8 :)

Thanks! This looks like a really good MM! :D glad to see it 2d again (=

oh men you are sick, awesome video !!!!

all your puns were funny as hell!

I have deep respect for this speedrunner, because this game looks freaking difficult. I really don't remember it being like this back then. Hands down.

the annotations are awesome good stuff

Watching this at 2am, your joke bubbles did not disappoint.

Man, the comments are gold, cheers man!

Nice run!

Respect man, this seems really hard.

I'm loving the in-game comments. Lol.

You make this look so easy but I never truly appreciated how good this run is until I actually played the game very recently. It's so frustratingly challenging and unfair, I think I died upwards of 20 times the first time I beat this.

ugh thanks for bringing back my repressed memories of Flame Hyenard. Burn, burn.... it haunts me to the grave.

Love this game, just love It

The difficulty of each level makes it that much more enjoyable.

Fantastic run ^^ one day I'll get to play this game (Also, splash woman looks so much like leviathan form megaman zero series...)

The spirit of Megaman 2 is strong with this one.

Your timing to dodge all of these enemies is "Godlike."

As a hardcore MM fan, i have to say you did a great job. Never thought about using the R.Coil for ladders and such. hmmmm... I thought 40:06 was ok, granted its only my second playthrough.

Take off every ZIG. Nice job. Glad to see you aren't uber hardcore and still dance on bubbles like a human being would.

Nice post. Mega man 9 was a great comeback

Would love to play this on the PC - nice job on the speedrun!

Awesome speedrun man X D u should do speed run on megaman 10 as well X D

For great justice. GUTS. Classic ace.

Great work! Remember that sliding can improve your speed, as well as quick-changing weapons. Finally remember that there are times that you can charge the mbuster for additional damage against bosses and strong enemies.

nicely done. this game is incredibly hard. I can't imagine what mm1 and 2 were like

There's about 6 minutes of errors in here, but as I said, I'm done speed running this. And yes, I'm aware that you can freeze the magma.

wow, you made it look easy, and Concrete Man moved more like Hard Man, Love the captions btw, "Move Zig" "For Great Justice" lol Zero Wing

With HD TVs, due to how they work, there's gonna be a bit of delay. Most HD TVs now have a "game mode" which cuts down or eliminates this delay (usually at a price of picture quality). Though when I did this run, I was still on a SD TV so I didn't have that problem.

Diamonds aren't forever? sorry bond - Best line ever

This looks insane

Wood Shield V2 LOL good one! :-)

Definitely agree, Contra, Castlevania and Mega Man are some of the best examples of this.

great speed run! one advice, on hornet man sub boss, you can use tornado blow on that stupid flower rather than chasing it with Concrete shot! hopefully, if u try again, youll get it faster :3 GG

this is coo and all but i dunno how much i like this ones bosses. cant wait to see 10

@TheNoobmapler The only reason the sounds were used is because 7 and R&F were both SNES games, while 8 was a PSX/Saturn game. Tengu, Astro, and Green Devil were all just restored after 8. Plus 8.5 is R&F's codename.

I like how it goes from: Great graphics in MM7 to Pretty good graphics in MM8 To 8bit in MM9.

@SirVG i learned that the hard way :( and dont you wish you could swap weapons w/out going in the menu like MM&B and the MMX series?

Amazing. Thanks for posting. How long did it take to learn the levels? Wow

the music in all these games were always so good.. kudos to the guys who write the music!!!!!

Wow, I really enjoyed this! :D About the Magmaman stage, with the falling magma, could you've pro-fired concrete shots to barely walk under them?

Jesus Good Run Mate! Question on the Side: I have made my Directors Account in September 06, yours has been created on August 06... Is there any Trick i have to Know to Upload Videos which are longer than 10 Mins?! I really want to know that =)

ROFL! I like your jokes in this, even if some of them are a bit odd or outta place.

you didnt suck! you were really good!

@jscuggins what about commando man for mega man 10? (note they are both actually in mega man 10 and mega man 10 is coming out for wiiware)

Does anyone know the cost of this game? I would assume its fairly cheap since its basicly a nintendo game.

Awesome!

wow great video..i learned a few new tricks :p

well i learnt something today. gj man

@tiend15 "Looking better" is all a matter of perspective. But then again, MM8 was built on a 32-bit system (PS1) whereas this was intentionally built to look like a throwback to the old 8-bit games (which were way better). Same as MM10.

This run was posted well before any run was posted on SDA. The comment was in regards that the run got rejected, not because somebody else had done a run faster (at the time).

The Mega Master has spoken.

Oh my god the music is all amazing

Excellent run. I've always experienced delay on the wii, especially with the nes games. I can beat Punch out on original nes, but not the wii. The delay refuses to permit it. How did you overcome this. Like Guitar Hero/Rock Band is almost unplayable on expert. Again, how did you overcome this??

A question from someone who gre up on the old Mega Man games: How would you rate the difficulty next to the "classic" games (say, 1-3)? It looks a bit easier than the other ones, but then you are playing it really well, so I'm just curious.

Man, this game has such awesome music.

this new megaman game has great graphics i like how they put back megaman 2 musics in there, they really care about fans

An as a true Mega Man fan, you didn't forget to pose heroically as you barged through the Robot Master's doors, either. Hahaha!

@vampiro101 If i don't pause, I have to wait until the Black Hole disappears before I can use it again. Same with any other instance of pausing w/o switching weapons.

Is it just me or is that level music in slash woman's stage friggin awesome?!?!?

Can't call yourself a hardcore gamer until you beat an 8 bit mega man style game

Been there done that. I beat them before you were even BORN, boy. :P

yea, are you using a turbo tool or something here? jsut curious

Your anotations rule! also your gameplay! awesome!

Not just that, but learning also what weapons to use as well for the stages themselves are also of importance. Plug Man's level can flat out be entirely shut down by the Jewel Satellite. I've managed to pull off a Perfect Run of the level with it. Learning the weaknesses, practice, and using all of Rock's abilities are all key.

As someone that grew up playing games on said retro consoles, I fully agree with you. (Born in 1977, I turn 35 in a few months)

loved the annotes, very funny, lol

Could you push 3 of the spike balls with magma bazooka? Or only m. Buster and t. Blow work?

he is killin it!

excelent men!! it's a pity what happened in PlugMan Stage at the 14:20

@kguitarista7x While this video is not done on the PS3 version (I play on the Wii), this game is available on the Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3 as online downloads.

Best MM Soundtrack EVAR!!!

Five mins faster than the acknowledged world record! Impressive

it's amazing how much more character the music in megaman 2 and 3 has compared to this.

I like how this game uses some music and sound effects from Megaman 1 & 2. Best of all that added a first female robot master. God I love this game and I can't wait to get this for my Wii. Megaman rules!!!

I love, how Capcom have done this in retro style

Though if that were the case, Tornado Man would be like a 200 year older brother.

that Megaman X7 reference was hilarious

dunno if epic mastery of the game, or just asian :futuramafry: xd epic vid man!!

Very impressive. Was this a tool-assisted speedrun, or raw?

Seriously, get me out of Roswell! How could one turn off the comments hahaha amazing

It's a brand new game developed by Capcom (makers of all the other Mega Man games) and is available for the Wii (via the Wii Store), Xbox 360 (via XBLA), and PS3 (via PSN).

Can't wait to see what weapons they have in MM10....

At 25:30, try using Rush to jump over the shield enemy, and immediately switch to tornado to raise the platform. Saves a few seconds that way, great run though!

Mega Man is great! This game is perfect! Is there a version for nintendo DS?

dive, dive, dive, hit your burners pilot

well, thats one way to deal with the elephants in concrete man's stage, lol... had such a hard time with them every time!
