This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/5333M
TAS originally published on 2023-06-14
Mega Man: The Sequel Wars is a currently in-progress compilation of fan remakes of Mega Man 4, 5, and 6 for the Sega Genesis and serves as an unofficial sequel to Mega Man: The Wily Wars. It expands on what The Wily Wars offers by adding additional characters to play as (Proto Man and Roll), more graphical effects that can be turned off, and a couple of neat Easter eggs that are nods to glitches that can be done in the original NES games.
In this run, Darkman425 ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/D... ) plays the currently available Mega Man 4 portion of the game and chooses Roll for her higher damage output - despite her main weapon being a broom - and faster air movement to beat the game in record time.
You can get the game here ( woodfrog.itch.io/mega-man-the... ).

For those saying the Wire Adaptor trick could’ve saved more time, remember that you actually need the Wire Adaptor in the first place. This TAS intentionally skipped grabbing the item in Dive Man’s stage because getting it in this game would mean falling a few screens, watching at least 10 seconds of the newly-added “get item” cutscene for this adaptor, and then upon returning, needing to repeat a whole section of Dive Man’s stage that was already cleared before getting the adaptor. All of those actions are a huge time sink and would’ve actually added *more* time to the end total of this TAS, had they all been done.

Notice how fast the screen scrolls during transitions in this TAS? That is what the "Screen transition speed" option does (duh). Normally, it is set to "Normal" speed, which is adequate for casual players, but there's also "Slow" speed in case some people have seriously slow reaction time, and "Fast" speed for speedrunners and TAS's. As a dev member of Sequel Wars, I am the one to have suggested the ability to customize how fast screen transition happens. Before the feature was suggested, I heard Nico Evaluates statements on how he dislikes fast screen transitions in Mega Man games, so that made me think about how screen transition speed can be a serious conflict of "Should it appeal to a casual audience? Speedrunners? Or make it really slow as an accessibility for the ones who have slow reaction time?". This is what led me up to the following conclusion : "How about we make it customizable?". This idea is simple, yet effective. It would be nice for other Mega Man games to integrate this feature as well.

A question: Are "Burst Chaser" and "Air Sliding" references to similarly named ROM Hacks? If so, that's really damn cool, I enjoyed playing both of these!

Good call. More customizable the game better the experience. The only down side is more work for the devs, well... XD

I'm so happy this exists. I was looking forward to someone TASing this version of the game, but the fact that Darkman425 chose to play as Roll just takes this to a whole other level of fun and awesomeness! 💚 Also, it's truly a testament to how tight the code in this game is when the biggest glitches that pop up are palette issues in the boss rush and that one Balloon hiccup in Brightman's stage. (And a "sticky" problem with the Square Machine in Cossack Stage 2, which didn't appear in this playthrough.) Darn fine coding, Woodfrog!

TAS already expands to homebrew games and hacks, but these games have increasingly higher frequency in this channel lately. And I’m all for it. Now here’s a TAS (or Speedrunning) suggestion: Roll (for TAS, for maximum boss DPS as demonstrated in this video), Charge Kick (via Full Arsenal) and helper items like Balloon as the only extra weapons allowed, Unlimited Ammo, Double Jump, Burst Chaser, maximum insanity I call this the Insane Charger Kick Run.

Wow! Whoever even made a sequel to Mega Man: The Wily Wars (Capcom's answer to Nintendo's Super Mario All-Stars which is also a very satisfying improvement of the original Super Mario Bros. series and even made The Lost Levels all the more playable despite still being intentionally hard!) really makes us want to tell Capcom to take note (since a sequel was made for them in terms of thinking of a job to do and the rest of us Mega Man fans in terms of playing this game that makes us wish for "Mega Man: The Threequel Wars" which is pretty much a Sega Genesis-esque recreation of Mega Man 9-11... and possibly 7 to 8 to Mega Man & Bass even though MM7 & MM&B are already 16-bit and have 8-bit demakes) before they ended the Mega Man franchise before they could give us Mega Man Legends 3, Mega Man 12 and Mega Man X9!

Nope. The top comment explains why, but short version: the author would end up replaying a section after an unskippable cutscene, ending in a time loss.

Is it not possible to glitch out of the boss rush with the Wire Adaptor and skip it like with the NES version, or do the game's physics not allow for that?

@Jdogg1022 Жыл бұрын

Someone commented about how the TAS didn't get the Wire Adapter in the first place. So, it wouldn't be possible to attempt it in the first place.

@Darkman425 Жыл бұрын

If it is possible, it'd be super arrow clipping related rather than wire/balloon related from the tech I've seen. Seeing as super arrow is Mega Man 5 only or requires turning on Full Arsenal mode, it'd be out of the question regardless. Even then I don't think the devs for this fan remake would put the Wily fight room in an easily accessible place with out of bounds glitches.

On both NES Mega Man 4 and this fan remake, the number of shifts is a random count between 1-3 rounds. This can be RNG manipulated such that Square Machine will only do 1 round.

I figure the TAS author won't see this, but there is a possible optimization here. In Cossack 3, I'd you use the wire glitch on the first autoscroller, you will be taken to the second autoscroller segment.

@Darkman425 11 ай бұрын

I'm well aware of the Easter egg but I went without it due to the new weapon get cutscene for the wire adapter adding more time and wire not really being helpful anywhere else speed wise.
