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!

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

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.

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

YOU GOT A NEW WEAPON! -CONCRETE- GUTS SHOT

@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="78">1:18</a> I thought for a split second "Isnt he gonna swallow that big bubble before he drowns" but then I realized, Wrong Game

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

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

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="155">2:35</a> "ZOMG" Welcome to 2008.

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

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

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.

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 difficulty of each level makes it that much more enjoyable.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

the annotations are awesome good stuff

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

Man, the comments are gold, cheers man!

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

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

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

all your puns were funny as hell!

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

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

Respect man, this seems really hard.

The spirit of Megaman 2 is strong with this one.

Nice run!

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 <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2406">40:06</a> was ok, granted its only my second playthrough.

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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!!!

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

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

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

Love this game, just love It

For great justice. GUTS. Classic ace.

Nice post. Mega man 9 was a great comeback

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

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

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)

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

Wood Shield V2 LOL good one! :-)

This looks insane

Oh my god the music is all amazing

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.

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

another strat that will shave I feel a serious few seconds off jewel man, right before the first swinging platforms....you do some pretty intense menu switching...you can easily jump over the rock carts and put out some well time buster shots to take care of the green falling spinning spikes, and never even bat an eye at the cart rock throwers....just jump em..the timing is actually very natural I was just messing around with it earlier

The Mega Master has spoken.

Makes me remember megaman 2.

so glad he picked galaxyman at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="367">6:07</a> i love the music

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.

@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.

excelent men!! it's a pity what happened in PlugMan Stage at the <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="860">14:20</a>

@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.

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

i used to have a NES and loved playing megaman x passed it hundreds of times never got old to me i was born in june 23, 1997

I love, how Capcom have done this in retro style

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

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

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.

Five mins faster than the acknowledged world record! Impressive

@SirVG The Bob and George joke was the best :) Nostalgia. Mr. PJWification can take his uncouth shenanigans and shove it.

Good run. Unfortunate mishap on Plugman :(

Awesome!

he is killin it!

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

Damn kids nowadays are using r.coil. I remember the days we had to wait until the stones appeared in Mega Man 1! I'm too old for this!

i am loving the 8bit music

They made 9 and 10 into the "retro" style cause that is what people love. They did make 8 bit NES remakes of 7 and 8 for emulation. Pretty fun, you should check em out.

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

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="373">6:13</a> my favorite music for all the UC of MegaMan and MegaMan X

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

Most people consider those the best part of the Megaman series and the reasons why the NES games were arguably the best They're still really enjoyable, and things don't need to be new and original if they're still fun and not boring

It's too bad you stopped your speed runs on MM9, I really liked them and the annotations were classics.

also i'm diggin the cement/trident combo

well i learnt something today. gj man

Best MM Soundtrack EVAR!!!

The harpie joke was the best. Capcom should add some stuff like that too.

you didnt suck! you were really good!

loved the annotes, very funny, lol

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!

cool. youre pretty fast with the 'fire' button man. sometimes it looks almost like a rapid fire.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="644">10:44</a> that bit always gets me...

Your anotations rule! also your gameplay! awesome!

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

amazing run i still have yet to beat Mega Man 9 on XBOX Live Aracde one thing you can be sure of is you have my ----SUB!---- and this video will be added to my ----FAVS!---- good luck out there =)

@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)
