Mega Man 4, released in January of 1992, finds the Blue Bomber going up against Dr. Cossack, a mysterious scientist behind the latest attack by eight robots. Of course, it's really Dr. Wily again. This installment saw the first appearance of Eddie, commonly known as Flip-Top, a mostly useless source of random powerups. Source: speeddemosarchive.com/MegaMan4...

The donations used to be read when literally no one had anything to say.. It was filler. Now they seem to think it means more than the commentary? You see the runners wanting to/about to say something and they don't. Why? Because you literally have to force the donation readers to be quiet. When did this start? And why? And why for the love of god don't they just have scrolling text showing the donations? Why does it need to be read aloud in the first place?..

To be fair, the donations DO mean more than the commentary. The commentary is interesting, but the charity is the reason everyone is there. Having their donations and remarks read aloud undoubtedly encourages people to donate to be 'stars' for a minute. The text idea isn't a bad one, but the display is already pretty crowded; look at any run with chat or text loaded and you can barely see anything. The runner/reader SHOULD have better rapport than they do here, where they're tripping over each other, but hearing people's stories about battling illness is more important here than why the runner didn't use Weapon Z on Boss X. I'm sure full game commentaries are available on the runner's Twitch channel.

@FreeCorps 10 жыл бұрын

JoeyRottenwood See I disagree as far as that within the stream, the commentary does mean more than the donations, if only because the donations would not be happening without the stream occurring, and thus the commentary. This isn't meant to sound harsh, and I'm sure many of us would have donated regardless because it's a good cause, but I'm sure there are many who only donated because they were being entertained and you think to yourself that giving a small donation is a good price for all the free entertainment you got. From that standpoint then I agree with the original poster. Not that the donations aren't important, but people watching do so to see the skill, and as a great added bonus to hear the why and how of a speedrunner's thinking.

@JoeyRottenwood 10 жыл бұрын

FreeCorps You aren't being harsh; you make excellent points in a rational manner rarely seen on KZfaq. I guess my line of thinking is that the runners' speed-running strategies are all over their normal Twitch channels and KZfaq posts, and most runner 'strats' are identical in the digital age. I'm sure these events draw in more casual fans and therefore the speed run commentary is more useful than normal, but as with anything, those who really care won't mind doing a little digging. Just as a viewer, the donation reads make it feel more like a large communal event and less like 20 good-natured guys on a sofa playing Super Metroid.

@FreeCorps 10 жыл бұрын

JoeyRottenwood Thanks man, and you as well. Are we sure this is youtube comments? I agree in that their strats are indeed all over their channels, although in many ways this is a more casual setting in which you get to hear the how or why a type of strat is used. I thought the Super Metroid run was a good example. The 4 runners were pretty much identical, although the commentator did a good job of pointing out minute differences and how strats had been discovered. That's another thing I like about the commentary from the runners themselves, many times they'll reference another player and how a strat came about, and why they might play it safe at certain parts. Many times on their regular channels if their going for a record or practicing a certain new strat all you get is silence because they're trying to be perfect. You are right though, those who do care, either because they are fans or because they're practicing their own runs, will definitely do a bit of digging if they see something new, commentary or no. In any case the event is wonderful and I think it's amazing how much money they raised. It also blows the argument that people sometimes raise about not being able to give much right out of the water. Many of the donations were $5 here and $10 there. It definitely added up at the end.

The reason that virtual console and emulators in general have lag is that they match the hardware, and hence it's timing, exactly. It doesn't matter that your CPU is more powerful, because they are matching the NES on the instruction level. If you want to make the games smoother you need to port the game onto different hardware, such as in the anniversary collection.

@rattopo1ka 8 жыл бұрын

+James Norton It still would have been nice if Nintendo bothered including an option to exclude the traditional lag. I know it belongs in the emulation and that's how the games were, but still I'd opt for lagless play. Wii would've been certainly capable of doing it.

@mk2mister2 6 жыл бұрын

I never experienced any lag on my NES emulators. I experienced tremendous lag on the Megaman Anniversary Collection for the PS2. The lag was so bad, I couldn't even pass the Quickman stage, but could do so easily on the NES on an the emulator. Go figure.

Convenience. More games can be played on the Wii's Virtual Console than an actual NES, so they use that to reduce the time to swap out consoles in between runs.

Even if they shouldn't donate for that reason, if ego drives more money to the PCF, so be it. And this was on the absurdly far end of the bell curve when it comes to donation frequency. In addition, there's also the high amount of interactivity between the donors and the runners: "Put this to the runner's choice", "Can Blechy please stand up", "Why does this file name cause a glitch", etc.

They DON'T try to read them all. They filtered out a TON of them due to either time constraints or comments that are meant to just flame/troll. The reason comments are read aloud is because it's MUCH more meaningful than an easily ignorable scrolling section, and that itself helps convince people to donate. If the runners need serious time, they get their serious time. I'm of the opinion that the system works just fine, though I understand where you're coming from.

@Outside998 11 жыл бұрын

Absolutely correct. The entire hardware of a console has to be emulated by the processor and graphics card. Just think about PCSX2. The original PS2 has a CPU that runs at 295 to 300MHz, depending on version. The emulator needs a CoreI7 to run without framedrops. That's at least 3,4GHz, four cores.

Is the trick where you kill Dr. Wily with Toad Man's Rain Flush not well known? To me, that was very intuitive, and I discovered it one of the first time I played it as a kid. I think that should count as completing the game, in a separate category, maybe :D

@dmorley100 7 жыл бұрын

I don't know if they fixed it when they ported the game to Virtual Console, but I remember, at least on the cart I played the game on way back in the day, the boss at 43:20 is glitched where if you hit it with one Drill Bomb, it's hit box almost completely disappears. The only place it still has a hit box after you do that is around the green light you hit to damage it. You can get right behind it and hit the green light and don't have to worry about dodging anything he shoots out cause he can't shoot backwards.

Why does it seem like the donation reader is competing with the runner and commentators? I do of course like hearing donation comments, but I think the game commentating should be in the forefront more often, especially in a game like Mega Man 4 with a ton of interesting little tricks that need to be pointed out.
