battle network is godlike

[@Rex13013]

Yeah! Tbh is my favorite mega man series, and the best imo. 3 and 6 are my favorites.

[@sourcesymbiosismetamorphis2228]

@@Rex13013 yeah 3 and 6 are the most solid with the best aftergame.

[@killianriggan3168]

I actually really liked 4 growing up as well. The 4 completes gave me a Ton of stuff to grind for. I also liked the tournaments and being able to fight the actual default Navis

[@theguardianarchives433]

​@@killianriggan3168Me too I really like that one too for those reasons

Greatest Megaman game of all time right here...my childhood

[@iicapnjazzii6779]

I remember as a kid had just won a gba off of a chocolate fundraiser didnt have any games for it. My parents took me to circuit city im big fan of mega man . Saw battle network 2 didnt really think twice . When i popped it in I was super confused because of the battle system and all but hot dang best decision I have ever made love the battle network series i just wish capcom would make an anniversary collection . Zero , x and original have it one day battle network will be back

[@Scrollskillups]

one day it will i believe in it.

[@harryhanddrawn]

the legacy collection is coming out next year, dreams do come true

[@alephNull_]

posts that aged well

[@El-Gato69]

How happy are you bud? We got something I thought impossible

[@ShinRyuuk]

I remember watching this live back when, it was a great run, and just got swarmed with nostalgia, haha. I've watched most of the latest TeamBN runs for each title, good group of battlers.

[@byrogam6659]

who needs RNG manip when you ARE the RNG

[@midnightstrike3625]

I miss these games so much, they made up about 90% of my early teens!

[@aerokill195]

Oooh I was wondering if gdq ever did a battle network run. How lucky to watch one so recent. The battle network series is one of my top, if not the top, games of all time.

[@freakface1234]

Had a friend back in middle school that had this version of the game. We would meet up at the CVS near school on the weekends to battle and trade chips. Good times man!

[@atlys258]

Dude hell yea that must have been amazing, BN3 was one of my favorites back in the day, but back then I was the only person I knew with a GBA, all the rest of the kids in middle school only cared about Xbox and PS2.

[@axis2066]

I miss this game So much nostalgia, really wish they made games like this nowadays

[@dafakisdis5340]

Capcom should do another megaman battle network games I don't mind with it not having a good graphics. All I want is longer storliney, more quest, more areas, and most of all more viruses and chips.

[@wids]

Wholesome

[@alfredtubale790]

@@Kenton_Stills they just did. It will come thru nintendo switch, ps4, and steam this coming 2023.

[@champkmaq7510]

Longer story? God no. Just give me a maxed account with everything unlocked so I can play competitive battles

[@anthonyr.159]

This was my absolute favorite game! Begged my dad to buy it for me while at an electronic store. Glad he did, I still play this game

[@ragading5377]

Woohoo! A worthy game to watch! Nice one GDQ

[@TheMrboom11]

Ooooooh the nostalgia, the first in the series I played, loved to death and the anime as well

[@quibbbo]

love this game a lot. thanks yall

[@GeminiTasiri]

Look, Double Team DS gave us the meme-tastic Mega Man / Lan voicelines but it also gave us Colonel's lines as well

[@seansimonalle8896]

Stupid sexy Colonel

[@deatheternal720]

The real Rank 3 navi was the treasure of friendship the whole time.

[@The_Mr._Biscuit]

Aqua Custom is the best generalist style. Aqua with V5 Charge charges so fast that it basically a full-auto bubbler (that doesn't trigger I-Frames on bosses), and Flashman is the only Elec-type Navi and he's a pushover anyway. And then the bonus chips from Custom Style fills all the gaps that auto-Bubbler doesn't cover.

[@WackoMcGoose]

Chaud: _trains 10 hours a day_ Lan: _does three hours of work over the course of a week or so_ Chaud: _doesn't save the world_ Lan: _saves the world six times_ (seven counting the GCN game, which fits between BN1 and BN2 timeline wise) Chaud: _gets all the recognition and shit_ Lan: _is treated as just an elementary school kid until maybe the epilogue of BN6, doesn't even get special status for who his dad is_ Something doesn't add up here...

[@seansimonalle8896]

In the first cutscene with Baryl in battle Network 5, he actually gets recognized for all the shit he and Megaman have done. Same story with Ribetta's N1 introduction for them.

[@BlackermanZX]

Man that vending machine RNG manipulation looks hard as nails. Great job at the run! i hope this game gets in an actual GDQ main event.

[@aguywatchingtheshow]

The BN series had the best slapstick.

[@Istalrivaldr]

I remember breaking the "jack in" button on my gba playing this game after I found out that random things had jack in spots

[@juanjotur114]

I would love to see a 100% run of Double Team DS. With the dark nebula área included. That shit is hard and would entertain the fans for houra

[@Rock_Lagoon]

True

[@LoLiTzFrOsTy]

best megaman series

[@shieldplus]

oh my god they did TWO of them? GDQ is a pantheon of gods and I am in love.

[@freddy007____9]

Only Megaman game I've ever 100 percented sorry just not a fan of the Classic or X series

[@EpicGamerSetzuna]

Same here. I've taken the time to beat Megaman 1-3, and X, and none of them stack up to this one for me. BN was just such a fun series.

[@Rock_Lagoon]

Nothing can come close to BN

[@loopseeker]

mmbn was the first megaman game i really played, i loved x too but still nothing tops mmbn3/6

[@countdooku7020]

This was my favorite battle network. I miss this game 👍

[@khaluu2000]

Random question, but why not use subchip sneakrun (since it was available from the vendor for untrap) starting during the zoo comp portion until you get to the navicust? Seems like you can shave off 20 seconds of enter-exit screen battle in total.

[@gloober.]

Afaik these runs have tons of zenny management and the sneakruns would require relying on more rng to keep up with and in this run its just faster to keep your HP at a certain threshold to run away instead of looking for GMDs.

[@Allanlbrr]

Always loved the battle network series, cybeast falzar was my favorite.

[@aguywatchingtheshow]

Cybeast war?

1:03:30 3 years have gone by and now it's on steam :)

[@salchichabarista]

Okay... the adding the RNG by soft resetting to get the cold head encounter?? You guys are nuts... holyyyyy how do you find that...

[@keyshalvern7350]

Buy the fish program in the beach online area, install it and head back to Hades isle and plug in to the first terminal to encounter the ice ball cannon viruses.

[@kennyrichardson3842]

So at around 2:35:00 they talk about a couple of games that are like Battle Network, and I'd heard of One Step From Eden but not the others, and I can't really tell what they're saying at that point for the names. Anyone know the names they mention are?

[@marcthomas4488]

They mention fan game called Endcycle Vs fir the PC which jas been developing gor aboutb3 years but which released some demos back in 2018..as well as some other games.

[@EpicGamerSetzuna]

I caught Tri Wing, Aether After, EndCycle. Hope these help!

[@BoxingTheologian]

Ohhhh the nostalgia !!!!!

[@dannychhuon4665]

In 2023 they are bringing mega man battle network series to; switch, pc, etc I can’t wait!

[@StarKnightAziren]

I missed the part where it changed save files... i'm like... when did they go from fire custom style to wood?!?!

[@FireballZora]

I'm watching with the sound off and I'm asking myself the very same question

[@isaacyingzhouteh]

i believe it’s for the gambling. They used a safe that’s successful.

[@deatheternal720]

During the last bubbleman fight, why is Kilios dropping poison panels? Does he have a customiser bug?

[@Gnurklesquimp2]

I was playing the games again and wondered why the hell my brain decided Mr. Match has a Scottish accent, until I saw some of those clips from the anime a few months ago.

[@himuragoXD]

Holy optimizations

[@theoneandonly9924]

Miss this game damn the memories🥲

[@megaman01996]

YES HAHA I LOVED THIS GAME AS A KID

[@Godna]

Man its been ages since battle network has been at agdq. I remember the time it ran like 4 days over and they ran one of them

[@themeowboss9972]

On the minigame manipulation, it was always the top right panel. Couldn't you just pick it?

[@paulelderson934]

Well yes, but then the winning tile moves as well, it's pretty fast.

[@MercilessRalph231]

How the hell did he go from fire to wood style? Did I miss something?

[@bloodvex1312]

at kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5nIYZyAmMijrZY he swaps cartridges to a one where he had previously pulled off the vending machine RNG manipulation trick after multiple failed live attempts

[@deatheternal720]

I looove alphas design

[@Arbmosal]

Why did Roll kill Beastman? How does the damage calculation work?

[@Yohfay]

20 base damage plus two atk+10 equals 40 damage. Three attacks from the roll chip equals 120 damage.

[@godlyvex5543]

I loved this game! Sadly my 3ds broke before I ever got past the first area.

[@jaygreenn92]

I had this game as a kid when it first came out, it’s the best Mega man game that i ever played, its better than Pokémon in my opinion❗️

[@jaygreenn92]

Brought it from eb games in the gallery on the 3rd floor in philly which is now called the fashion district when it first came out on gameboy advance even tho i played it on gameboy advance sp back than❗️

[@jaygreenn92]

I had Mega man battle network 4 red sun that i got at eb games at the gallery in philly along time ago in 2004 & just like 3 they had the red version & the blue version of battle Network 4❗️

[@jaygreenn92]

Also they had the blue version & white version of megan man battle Network 3 I believe the white version came out later on or the blue version❗️

[@jaygreenn92]

I believe this game has near by link with other gameboys near by Me & cousins use to play gba games together when we had sp’s right next to each other

[@SPTB727]

can anyone explain how he edited the size of his sneak run customization?

[@lucestrasz2312]

I’d have to look up details on how to do it again, but most of the command line programs have a compression code that takes a little off of the shape.

[@Zioni21]

Please tell me this is 100%
