Spoilers

that's the magic carpet, a phantom grab. you need to collect one drop with the boomerang 1 frame (0.0167 second) before another item spawns on screen, so when the item loads into the game's memory it won't spawn in the right place, but inside your boomerang. not every item though, there's 1 specific class of items that can get phantom grabbed. thats how the eagle magic carpet works. That specific class of items is usually called "Misc Items"

o.

The magic carpet ride lol such a cool trick

TriggerChoco I did too😂

It was on beat, thats why XD

Even the damn build up of the life bar

I didn't even notice that! Thanks for pointing it out! 😂😂😂😂

It was kinda impressive

Can you do better?

and If I use TAS maybe if there's room for improvement and I put my mind to it lol

Jultix Nope. Unless if there is an improvement found in the stage, then it is physically impossible to improve that stage. The game has reached an endpoint of improvements until someone finds another improvement

@@OctaHeart not rly, there's quite a bit of room for improvement

Its tas

@@migsencarnado2261 what's the difference?

@@darkununuro damn 4 years and you never knew the difference between a normal Speedrun and a tas run?

i like to think that megaman's loss of upgrades is a different universe megaman in every game. it just makes more sense than magically losing everything.

In a regular Speedrun, you kill that optional boss with 18 boomerangs and five dash lemons. That leaves you with enough ammo to kill Chameleon with the rest of your boomerangs + one dash lemon.

I don’t think they understand the implications of “tool assisted.” Also, love that Spider.

wdym nerfed, it literally 1hko's every boss but final sig

@@mikesantiago14 it's been 3 years since I made this comment but I'm reasonably sure it was sarcastic

In the notes, he says that since it's his third TAS of the game, he has to get in three useless hadoukens.

We need his boots.

My guess would be to help with the haduken later? I also noted they didnt grab the heart tank on the way that time. Maybe was worried more about saving time beating armored armadillo and knew they could cone back later for the tank duribg haduken?

you need to see a specific spot 5 times to obtain the hadouken, the deaths speed up the process

At 26:05, you mean?

Yes

X: This is no Rematch for You 😂

that's the kuwanger skip, a phantom grab. you need to collect one drop with the boomerang 1 frame (0.0167 second) before another item spawns on screen, so when the item loads into the game's memory it won't spawn in the right place, but inside your boomerang. not every item though, there's 1 specific class of items that can get phantom grabbed. thats how the eagle magic carpet works. That specific class of items is usually called "Misc Items". in this case you collect the door

Mark LeMoine Ight so the first time was to retrieve that heart tank and the other times was bcuz in order to get hadouken, u needed to be at full health

That's how you unlock the hadoken, which can oneshot most bosses.

you need to see a specific spot 5 times to get the hadouken and dying speeds up the process

@@mikesantiago14 oh really? I thought it was accidents.

@@Zonefire15 everything in this video is 100% purposeful

he manipulates the RNG

Judging by how this occurs at Sigma's first stage as it turns into a propellor, I think he executes a bug to make the game look through its file directory and loaded sprites. Which is why it turned into a platform in Storm Eagle's stage.

Look up mega man x magic carpet.

It's actually pretty simple! See, in between stages, X obtained a secret pod that enabled him to bend reality to his will, and he chose to create a platform that allowed him to essentially BLJ like Mario. In fact, if you listen closely, you can hear X going " *YAYAYAYYAYAYYAYAYAYYAYAYYAYAAYYAYAYAYYAYAYYAYAYAYYAYYAYAYYAHOOOOOO*

You'd be surprised how many of these strats people go for in RTA. Phantom grab of the boss door is a real thing, as is the Armored Armadillo refight skip.

very few of the current TAS only strats are RTA viable i believe

My best guess is that it's faster to get hit and take the energy than it is to wait the boss' ice spitting attack out for a chance at a clean shot

@@SnapdragonSK you might be right there

TAS times from power on till end of input, which differs from how RTA runs are timed, which is gain control of character to last hit on final boss. The reason TAS does this is that the TAS itself is merely a series of timestamped button presses, and they time based on the length of the input sequence. When applied to a specific game and played back at normal speed, it gives the impression of superhuman skill and execution.

It can if the enemy is able to make it down to a part of the wall the hadoken can reach. The only truly unkillable enemy is the very final enemy you face, because armor.

That may be on purpose. The RNG in MMX1 is based on a number of things, that can be manipulated in a TAS (exact frame, enemies killed, wall-slides). Maybe he manipulates RNG for extra life because he will need them to get the Hadouken.

@@anon_9221 well then STONKS

@@LunaticRhythms *LIFS*

@@anon_9221 he only needs 1 extra life for hado. the rest is just swag lol

Yep. When you obtain 100% of every upgrade and enemy weapon type, if you can pull off a chain of riding the last Minecart out and leap off to die at least twice, the secret pod will be there, exactly as shown in the TAS. If you punch in any passcodes, the upgrade is completely inaccessible, making it a good incentive to play from the start. Edit: why the fuck did minecart get changed to Minecraft? Anyway, fixed it

you need to see that spot where the capsule appears a total of 5 times, and in the last one you need all items and full life. ez like that. i'm p sure you can get it even if you use passwords. to execute the hado just slide your finger from down to forward and shoot

@@thomasmurrell9832 You can use passwords, you just need to go back to the stage and recollect the upgrade.

ok

which trick?

its a tool assisted speedrun, which means he's using various emulator tools (save states, frame advancing, etc) to create a near perfect run of this game

*Q: "What is a TAS?"* *A:* TAS stands for Tool-Assisted Speedrun (or Superplay), which is self-explanatory: TASes are speedruns (or superplays) that are made with the assistance of various tools. A more technical term for a TAS is an _input file,_ as a TAS is a pre-programmed series of inputs that is intended to be played back in the exact same way every time. In that regard, they are similar to piano rolls for player pianos, except with controller inputs instead of piano notes, and a video game instead of a piano. *Q: "Why do we do this?"* *A:* Because it's awesome. We love TASing not only as a medium for entertainment, but as a curiosity for seeing how far video games can be pushed. We love TASing as a way of both preserving gaming history by endorsing and advancing emulation, while also innovating the way games are played by putting them into fields entirely unintended by developers. We love TASing as an outlet for creativity, both in problem solving on levels that may not even be seen by the human eye and in personal expression and freedom just through controller input. *Q: "Is TASing cheating?"* *A:* A TAS is only cheating if it is intentionally being misrepresented as an RTA speedrun. Our community and the RTA speedrunning community closely work together and share knowledge, but our competitive ecosystems remain completely separate: TASes must only ever compete with other TASes. We do not, and will never, support anyone who attempts to gain an advantage in the RTA community by using a TAS. === Additionally, Calebhart primarily focuses on RTA speedruns, so it makes sense that he wouldn't cover TASes.

Like what? Was there a permanent upgrade that was not obtained, or are you talking about extra lives and refills of health and ammo?

Just for the record, though the runner passes up the health tank near the end of Armored Armadillo's stage a couple of times, it is eventually collected by the boomerang fired at 23:06.

Is not possible you get haduken without 100% of itens

Like Marcos said, you can't even obtain the Hadoken upgrade if you do not have 100% prior (and if you use a password to cheese it, it's completely inaccessible)

every item was obtained, yes

Its a glitch that makes use of loading mechanics the heart was loaded and replaced the health drop

@@azurephantom100 But how he can break the wall without the helmet?

that's the C3 (Chameleon 3rd) phantom grab. you need to collect one drop with the boomerang 1 frame (0.0167 second) before another item spawns on screen, so when the item loads into the game's memory it won't spawn in the right place, but inside your boomerang. not every item though, there's 1 specific class of items that can get phantom grabbed. thats how the eagle magic carpet works.
