''Watch me suck" - Mike 2015

[@ToastieStrudel]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@Baleur]

1. Has a weapon that instakills every single enemy on the entire screen. "Fuckin shit Frog weapon" 2. Has a weapon that does more damage than any other weapon, a quarter of a boss health on one hit. "Fucken shit Pharaoh weapon" 3. Has a weapon that freezes time for ages, enough for you to stand idle and continually shoot a boss to death. "Fekkin trash bright weapon" Gotta love Mike :) Give him a nuke, he'd say it sucks because it uses a lot of energy or because it makes the screen go bright.

[@NerdGlassGamingPA]

+Baleur I love how he is stuck in his childhood

[@MermDaddy]

+Emrah Ekinci i mean this game only came out like 2 years after megaman 2... and he did say megaman 9s weapons were awesome

[@hazardman101]

+Baleur the Metal Blade from megaman 2 is a nuke

[@HaveYouTriedGuillotines]

I was seriously wondering whether he was going to shit talk Flash Stopper. I don't know how anyone could dislike it, it's basically a really OP version of Time Stopper that lets you shoot while it's active.

[@hazardman101]

sure it doesn't work on any other boss besides Pharaoh Man but the fact that it just stops the entire screen is nice in general

[@BastardsMedia]

Best out of context line ever "I'm to busy thinking of fucking Donald Duck" lmao

[@NovaTheAngel]

I grew up with this one! I know most prefer mega man 2 or some others but this one is close to my heart.

[@schwarzerritter5724]

Maybe you hate the weapons, because you don't actually try to find out how they work.

[@retrogameraaron4778]

+Schwarzer Ritter He's one of those players who is too reliant on using metal blades in Mega Man 2...so now he's struggling trying to use other weapons for a change.

[@BRat-kp4si]

The wire's such an awesome power-up. I think the TV show The Wire was named after it. Like, they were gonna call it "Baltimore Bonanza" or something and then one of the producers was all "remember how awesome the wire weapon from MM4 was, we need to call the show that" and the other producer was like "'h'okay lol". Good stream, Mike.

[@senshimak]

+Ratical I actually LOL'ed.

[@dradeel]

Mike, I hope you figured this out while playing, but Pharaoh Man's weapon is like Metal Blades, only you can charge it and use the charged ball as a secondary weapon. You get two shots for one, AND you can control the shot in all directions when you release it (except straight up and down). In other words, it's arguably superior to Metal Blades, except it uses up its power quicker and is a bit harder to master, considering you wanna use the charged ball as a secondary weapon and get more hits in. For bosses not demanding Pharaoh Shot, which is anyone but Ring Man, you can use Pharaoh throughout the stages to do diagonal shots.

[@pikminman13]

I was just yelling "INSTINCTS INSTINCTS" when he wound up choosing pharaoh man

[@PsychomachineryEBM]

Toad, Bright, Pharaoh, Ring, Dust, Skull, Dive, Drill, i still remember the order crystal clear, 25 years later. The music here is second only to Mega Man 2, as the best on NES/Famicom.

[@20thoughts]

Good lord, man. At least learn how the weapons work before dissing them! Pharaoh shot can go diagonally based on your own dang input... It's this game's closest equivalent to Metal Man. It's EXACTLY (sorta) what you complain that you're missing :D

[@willtanhey]

When did he diss them? I want a time stamp.

[@20thoughts]

@@willtanhey Asking me that five years later? Dude, I'd have to trawl the video to find it again. Sorry, not doing that! :)

[@willtanhey]

don't worry, I found it myself. Also, i'm surprised you replied at all considering it's been 5 years since you made this comment.

[@Itemtotem]

"Someday I'm gonna host a livestream where i hum the music the entire time." Mike definitely loves Andy Kaufman.

[@L2Nuku]

I like Mike alot more in these Live Streams, he seems alot more sincere and honest then in all the pre-recorded stuff he does with James.

[@locoloboxiii]

Those old papers you wrote the tips on, became an article in someone else's "strategy guide". It's amazing the lengths one would go to, in those days, to get ahead in their favorite games.

[@etherraichu]

something funny: They could've easily fixed the lag issues with the PC port, or the 3DS one, or whatever. They didn't. They left it in on purpose. Ive played these games on emaulators with the lag gone... I kept dying. Its amazing. We are so used to that lag being there that we don't even think about it most of the time. Until its gone, then we lose. Spent so much time adapting that its second nature.

[@hugobromme1428]

+etherraichu It's not a PC port, it's an emulation with a nice menu put in front of it.

[@aestheticstorm]

To Mike: Emulators emulate original hardware. Doesn't matter how fast the host is. All the rom sees is "NES". If the NES emulator was rewritten to take advantage of the host, it would eliminate the slowdown and flickering. Has nothing to do with the rom.

[@brendansrambles9464]

Apparently I'm the only person who always thought the "P" stood for "plain". I haven't heard anybody else say that on these streams. I'm not saying it's right, but to me it makes the most sense. Sure, calling it "plain" instead of "standard" or "normal" sounds odd, but Japanese to English can be odd. Since they all mean the same thing, I could easily see the Japanese devs writing "P" for plain not realizing it would sound a tad bit off in English speaking countries. But, yeah, plain always made the most sense to me.

[@dogmd7]

I love these streams you do Mike, but damn does that chat seem aloof, immature, and stupid. I'm glad I watch these on archive.

[@Astromyxin]

+Legendary Chop Chop Seriously, those chat assholes are the worst.

[@MdeGreat]

Simons Quest with James would be awesome

[@zuschzero]

Lol, Megaman 4 had the best arsenal on the NES

[@DigiKahvi]

Thanks for these videos Mike!

[@theonewiththeeyeoftruth884]

The Pharaoh weapon charges up and shoots multiple directions, sort of like Metal Blades. I'm not sure if it shoots downward any direction, or straight upward, so it might be just horizontally and diagonally upward. You were shooting diagonally by accident, Mike. Also, if the enemy hits the glowing ball that is hovering over your head while you charge it, or runs into you while you're charging it, he will get hit.

[@toptenguy1]

+TheOneWith TheEyeOfTruth Yep, he totally dissed the awesome Pharoah shot. :)

[@blah1017]

Love Megaman 4. I think 3 is my favorite on the NES but this one is a classic

[@jcope2703]

I rewatched 14:50 to 14:57 like 5 times 😂sheesh Mike lol

[@sweeshaman]

skull man really good theme

[@monos33]

Skull Man stage music is Iron Maiden worship

[@Jinks2001]

Ah man! I would have went to see you in Memphis! Keep up the good work Mike!

[@scottbrady7499]

i've watched enough mike replays from twitch streams. i'm convinced people DO subscribe with obviously profane, sometime offensive screen names ON PURPOSE, 'cause Mike WILL thank them LIVE (by name.) long story: the point? ..not surprising, that somebody sez start with "boner man!," ..and many are adults.

[@jrm48220]

Yeah, the weapons totally suck. Who would ever want a screen nuke (Toad), or to be able to freeze an enemy in place and keep shooting them (Bright, which is better than Flashman's weapon because you can shoot while the enemies are frozen), or the ability to shoot in every direction except up and down (Pharaoh)? All those things totally suck. /sarcasm

[@Anon-ww5fj]

i came for the skull man theme while watching the skills of mikes.

[@oaooaoipip2238]

Life ensurence is a bad word for an extra life. Imagine if life ensurence was like that in real life. "We will let you die, but we will bring you back to life again."

[@krayziejones]

I want that Pilotwings 64 scream as my ringtone.

[@jersydvl]

Pretty sure the P in MM1-3 stands for Player

[@LEATHERrebelJUSTICE]

Did Mike seem more angry in this episode?

[@ChairmanMeow1]

what is he playing these games on? black controller?

[@mathewcipriano8875]

Did anyone notice that dust man's stage and dust man himself seem to be inspired by the industrial revolution? (the machines, the junk, the grim tone of the stage, the dangerous/ hazardous machines etc)?

[@bhumps6309]

@46:53 Nope, not kidding you. It's really Hungry Hungry Hippos.

[@Auiue]

I love your streams mike keep the good work! Ciao from Italy!

[@JMan1380]

Love your videos Mike. You and Bootsy on MM2 was great. Can you show off what's in the museum for the Legacy Collection?

[@jasontaylor3640]

sun studios is excellent. i went there a few years back bc i loved walk the line so much but anyone who loves music should check it out. i luv mega man 4 but of course part 2 is my fave ever since i was 9. and i DO think the new star wars will b great. i know people hate it but episode 3 was very entertaining. but thats just my opinion. lol .

[@monos33]

Skull Man theme is so fucking good!

[@omfgbunder2008]

i'm pretty sure you can damage-boost through the hippo pedestal like you can through the giant penguins in mm3.

[@MaximumPayne12]

That app keeps failing on sending me notifications so I'm late again... Is there a certain time you usually do these streams Mike?

[@karnagefails333]

Good stuff!

[@dtown-fi5xs]

I recently purchased the Legacy Collection on PS4 and was able to beat 1-3. Now I'm pushing 40 years old so I played these games as a kid but I had never played 4-6 till now. For some reason Mega Man 4, 5, and 6 are really hard for me. It's such a pain just to finish the "easiest" boss to begin with. I can plow through Mega Man 2 over and over again but 4-6 are NOT easy at all for me.

[@n1ckjitsu]

It sounds like he's just making that up. 'Yeah, just went to Elvis' house, caught a rabbit caught up with the king whatever'

[@madfinntech]

Mike, the slowdown is due the NES and is as you said yourself, too much shit on screen NES to handle. This collection is about one to one emulation, so if it had slowdown on NES it will have the same slowdown on even the world's most powerful PC. The game still thinks it's running on NES. This is not a port, this is emulation of NES.

[@Panzer_the_Merganser]

38:52 How is it not just, Primary? You have so many other weapons, but this one is your primary one. Or it’s Poo. IDK

[@Robkinggozer]

Only slight complaint is that Mike seems to acknowledge almost every dumb/silly/dirty comment, which inevitably leads to more of those and less somewhat worthwile ones.

[@retrogameraaron4778]

Mike, you were too reliant on the metal blades in Mega Man 2...so now every other weapon seems weak and useless to you by comparison. The problem is, the metal blades were a flaw that broke the game and made it too easy if they were overused. They should have been more balanced, by not being as powerful and using up more weapon energy to prevent players from relying on them all the time.

[@JoeontheInside]

+RetroGamerAaron I sort of agree, but the game honestly only plays "more conveniently" with the Metal Blades, I don't feel like it makes the game much easier though, if that makes any sense. I didn't realize just how awesome they were until recently though, I used to only use them on certain bosses, but discovered how great they were very recently.

[@nothingdotdlmsc381]

he blew all his weapons in 1 and 2 but in 3 and 4 just stuck to pellet gun

[@megasonic2156]

I use Metal Blade a lot but I don't use it all the time

[@er5624]

That jump you made in bright mans stage you have to jump and shoot

[@jeolf8909]

Hm, mike. What if you think of the Pharao change as a shield item position above you. I think it can be effective against enemies above you or with a pattern jumping above you. But instead of trying to hit enemies with it's BS angle, get them to walk into it, or jump the shield into them.

[@ampecsu]

how am i even subscribed to this channel...they never mention it

[@MichaelMooneyPopCultureX]

Skull Man...SKULL.... DRILL Prob drill man to skull man

[@biguy617]

Why do you keep skipping that weapon power up in Bright man? You can use it to fill Toad man weapon.

[@ryan489]

I might have to pick up this collection. The PS4 version of course. I'm a big fan of the Retro Megaman games. I liked 9 and 10 as well. Beat 9 and never beat 10.

[@jrm48220]

This video should have been named "Metal Blade Tantrum." If you take a shot every time mike complains about not having the metal blade, or about how the MM4 weapons suck (which he does because they aren't the metal blade) you will die of alcohol poisoning.

[@patrickandrews1692]

appreciate the live stream mike but I'd really like to see you go back to Doom 2

[@mk2mister2]

Mega Man IV was definitely the most difficult of all the NES Mega Man games.

[@biguy617]

I hear there will be a Mega Man movie coming out soon.

[@strumdogg1]

It likely was meant to stand for "Player" though (e.g. Player 1)... OMG!...Imagine if Mega Man were a two-player game, like Double Dragon or Contra! :O

[@jasonhubbard6775]

How much you wanna bet this MM collection was released as a way of capitalizing on Mighty No. 9's release? Give a thumb's up if the answer is, "Well, duh!"

[@lukekleinhen9274]

are you a fan of the Megaman X games mike?

[@NanayaRay01]

If all the weapons sucks, what will be his opinion of the Power Stone?

[@oaooaoipip2238]

The P in P-shooter stands for Pee

[@omfgbunder2008]

i think 5 is "megaman 5" and 6 is "beat" via alternate exits.

[@ice_fox]

Megaman's weapon was originally known as the "Power Cannon" thus P did stand for power until it was changed to Mega Buster. Hope that puts the debate to rest. ^_-

[@ChizuMcCheems]

Thank you. It's the most retarded thing ever hearing him call it "person".

[@RoundShades]

It's awful sounding in-line, but it is "rational" as to how.

[@germaholic]

Megaman 4 is really easy for me. And Toadman's weapon is really good, you just need to know how and when to use it

[@seankalifut9948]

For me personally, the Mega Man games ranked from hardest to easiest: 4, 1, 3, 5, 2, and 6.

[@eckitronix]

ELECMAN FTW!!!!! YEAH!!

[@bg-on5fv]

Hate to tell you this but it was the nes the cpu was not fast enough!

[@senshimak]

They should add Megaman Soccer and the X series to this Collections. (i know Megaman Soccer sucks, but it's just too nostalgic)

[@TrueKaiserJeremy]

By watching this stream I found out that Mike's sex life is great.

[@SpagJo]

So... Was I the only one who read it as "Cockass Castle"?

[@nomnomnomthemall5005]

+AQ64 I read it as "Mega Man 4 Live Stream (Up to Cocksack's Castle)"

[@DrJones20]

Yes

[@fearthefuzzy3yoloboyswag517]

Mega man all the way

[@ElasticSparrow]

Mega Man 2 ftw!

[@anarchysoftworks4592]

Mega Man is legit

[@oddjob75]

When will the nerd come back??

[@geogeo5938]

not live right

[@TheBungle699]

Definitely not live

[@jchunter21]

i went threw skull man stage only getting hurt once bit than skull man destroyed me

[@simon12332]

Why does he hate the weapons?? Nostalgia fool... jk I love mike

[@christophercampbell5824]

Use the mega buster

[@christophercampbell5824]

You did Woody wood pecker joker bugs Bunny leather face

[@biguy617]

Maybe you should try voice acting

[@HibHab69]

These streams would be better if he didn't look at the chat all the gosh dang time or had someone else do that for him instead of stopping the gameplay entirely.

[@YungSmackAddict]

its been awile

[@simon12332]

Its interesting for someone who doesnt seem to smoke weed or drink much, he sure doesn't learn well. Like think about sliding every once in a while?

[@BanditTheCat2017]

+simon12332 im not sure about that not smoke or drink much thing

[@simon12332]

You think? I mean these days why wouldn't he share that with us? He is always drinking water...maybe there is vodka in it and he gets off on us not knowing lol

[@simon12332]

I couldn't find it on Yt or Cinnemassacre. Link?

[@biguy617]

I think Drill kills Dust.

[@PeterSchlappi]

noice

[@dantheman184]

Hi

[@Kevinb1821]

except for the game chasers who got robed at the sun studio

[@BanditTheCat2017]

Those weapons fuck and suck? Send them my way

[@metinsen553]

Elec Man being his favourite robot master shows how poor taste he generally has with games/media, literally one of the most generic robot masters visually that looks like a bomberman character, im actually pretty sure super bomberman 2 or something had a similar looking boss design with one of the worst looking weapons visually aswell, that looks like your game is about to glitch or something when elec man uses it with that weird animation.

[@ConnorsPiano]

Hey! I like fudgie the whale!! He looks delicious!! :(

[@greenleaftexastea9431]

mega man x is better than this one but i will put this one in my top ten snes games

[@HaunterOfKanto]

Lol you don't know the power of Pharaoh Shot. You need to use the weapons during the stages so you get a feel for what they do.

[@HaunterOfKanto]

I know it doesn't matter now since this is an archive of a live stream that happened ages ago...

[@titslerfelly6866]

metal slug

[@MrYTGuy1]

oooh "I was at elvis' house". it's so tacky to name drop like that Mike. just cause your friends with someone as famous as elvis doesn't mean you have to show off.

[@AwesomeMan0215]

toad man

[@ThePoesn]

I like the hypocrisy. You said so many times that you don't like emulators because you want to play the games legit. The legacy collection is nothing but a glorified emulator that can only do the mega man games for 15 bucks :D

[@justsignmeup911]

I disliked this game as a kid because the charged shot made it too easy.

[@somanymods]

I don't get this, its probably the hardest of all the nes mega mans. certainly much harder than 2 and 3.

[@justsignmeup911]

+somanymods 1 and 3 are harder in my opinion.

[@MaximumPayne12]

+somanymods This one is in no way harder than 3 and let alone 1 lol

[@somanymods]

It's definitely harder than 3. Aside from Doc robot, 3 is a cake walk. Dr. Wily's castle is so easy. Dr wily himself in 4 is much harder than in 3 or 1. All I know is that as a kid I had 1-4 and I could only beat 2 and 3. When lc came out the other day I had the hardest time with 4.

[@MaximumPayne12]

somanymods Totally sounds like your personal experience. In my experience 1 and 3 gave me the hardest work, imo the mega buster does make things a lot easier, I never got stuck in any of the MM4 levels unlike MM1, I agree the final boss in MM3 is kind of a joke but in MM4 he gets owned easily after a couple Pharaoh shots :)

[@b-retrogamer2925]

whats Mikes target age audience? 5? Such stupid chat discussion and comments. Go home kids, its past your bedtime.
