Charge Laser sounds _so_ satisfying to use even if it's not that useful. The oomph of that pew pew laser.

Dennis Englehard unleashed a mega masterpiece bravo, it brings a smile to my face when I imagine Dennis and his father Dieter playing this together what a wonderful thought

[@kentwanwilliams1060]

Well John Rosie,it was great but we need to give feedback on a another update of what I think needs to be added,my updates feedback is having all the cutscenes and the ending with dialogues and have each Robot Masters power or speed gear depending on their elements and have dialogue before and after the Bosses battle like Mega Man Powered Up while giving double gear systems to Rock and Roll,Having Bass as a character in the new story and having Tundra Man as the captured Robot Master and a boss in Polar Woman stage while changing Honey Woman to Vesper Woman from the Archie Comics so gotta give this feedback to Dennis Englehard,the creator of Mega Man fan game, Mega Man Rock n Roll 😐😑🤔🙏🏽🙏🏽👌🏾👌🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾!

[@alfalfajuan8184]

Dude I don't agree with all of your points but... man you murder this stages. You make this game look easy. Great job.

[@FoxTenson]

I liked this game after plowing through it on one stream. It has issues with damage output as you've mentioned..and a couple boss instances and one level in particular later on, but its been pretty good. Also I love that phantom woman's weakness is a ghostbusters reference. I followed that logic without knowing the weakness chain and was pretty amused. I do love little references here and there too, like gameboy frozen in ice, the fan game callouts with dagger man and the fan game based on skullman with skullman.

[@DgtlRnn042]

Loving watching these! Thank you for showing of this game.

[@blues03]

12:04 Clutch Moment and 13:07 ROLL item upgrade music was awesome.

[@johnrosie9769]

all good points and valid observations but as a whole I love it the way it is the increased boss damage output compensates for the patterns not being as static but isn't that the case with the original series aswell and it's just a joy to play a Mega Man fan game so close to the original series it seems to fit right in and feels like a natural continuation of the classic style with a few contemporary comforts all in all I'd say it's a 10/10 homerun crush of a fantastic fan game I like other mega man fan games also they are all unique and taken all together are themselves an original series thank god for the dedicated mega fans that bring back the beloved original style with their own unique bend.

[@johnrosie9769]

And the sound track is also excellent and a great addition to the mega man catalogue of rocking tunes it just hits all the right notes bravo to Juhani Junkala fantastic work

[@WhiteFangofWar]

Ironically, Skull Man's pattern gets nerfed to compensate for the ramped up damage. In MM4 he was crazy, dashing into you almost as much as Quick Man. In addition, the swinging maces look kind of off IMO, like they were transplanted in from a SNES game. One thing you didn't show in Ghost Woman's stage is that the 1UP is hiding a spike trap that you won't see until it's too late.

[@brandonleague3641]

I love how Polar Woman blows a kiss to Roll.

[@SkipperTheSuperGamer]

Regarding your comment about the crane gimmick-- someone in the magmml discord the other day mentioned how they'd begun to appreciate the classic games' approach to level design where gimmicks are more spread out instead of being used all over the place to wring as much potential out of them as possible. This makes the encounters the player *does* have with the gimmicks much more memorable. Exhausting the usage of a gimmick is something that, if you really think about it, the official games never really did. At least not very often. I feel like this has only really become a trend in recent years with the advent of fangames.

[@Neo-Shinryu]

That's a pretty interesting perspective, actually. I can agree that certain things like gimmicks and even enemies would be less memorable if used too much. With that being said, I still feel that 3 whole appearances of that crane gimmick in Polar Woman's stage makes it feel more underutilized than anything (same goes for the maces in Ghost Woman's stage).

[@donniejohnson1232]

LOVE the music themes. Especially Reactor Man's

[@mathewevans9706]

Wait, wait, wait a damned second. How has no one else commented that you beat Ghost Woman by blasting her with a Laser from /Reactor/ Man? They literally dropped in a Ghostbusters Reference as a Boss weakness, that's amazing!

[@SoftComet]

0:54 Did You Know? There is frozen game Boy at upper left corner! Nice Little Easter Egg :)

[@NoraTSS2077]

Game: You get Snow Roller Me: I think you mean the Ice Beam

[@Zelinkokitsune]

The damage output issue really kind of makes me feel that often fangames are designed for people who are already good at megaman games so they balance it for those type of players without realizing you know... a lot of people have to use a lot of E-tanks and lives to clear the mainline stuff. Just jacking up damage values is just not a fun way to add challenge, it just becomes frustrating and needlessly brutal. It's kind of like how some fangames just go with idea of needing to add a million spikes just because they can.

[@DarkZide8]

Man, this game looks so amazing, I just want time to play it

[@FoxMan_FF]

Polar Woman shares a few similarities with Tundra Man. Ice-based attacks, the fact that their main attack involves ice skating into you- it's probably coincidental, but still neat all the same.

[@TheNerdQ]

Well, as a person who beat all 8 RMs, I gotta admit that the damage in boss fights are unfair. While I enjoyed playing stages most of the time, I suffered a lot in fighting bosses. Being not-really-a-good-player, it was such an annoying thing to get forced to do almost-no-damage or use tanks. Unfortunately, it seems all bosses here give you extraordinary damage. Aside from that, everything else was fine. Polar Woman's stage was the very first stage I tried. It was annoying at the first few attempts, due to the Bunby Hellies and the placement of Suzies. After I returned with some weapons, though, I got used to it, and it became enjoyable. One last thing I want to complain about this stage is, O is too much hidden in this stage. I actually went this stage over and over again after I beat the boss. Maybe I didn't look close enough, but just showing a mere part of the roll-phabet behind the waterfall was just... really hard to gain. While Polar Woman's stage was the first stage I entered, Reactor Man was the first boss that I met in -robot-person. His stage was probably one of my favorites out of 8 stages. It used reactor lasers in good usage. Pretty neat that some of them could be turned off by shooting a button. I also liked how mid-boss used Tellies as projectiles as well. It was hilarious to watch disco balls reacting to lasers. I enjoyed it a lot until I met the boss himself. The damage was horrifying, and attacks were hard to dodge. I was so mad that I couldn't even survive more. When I came back with Snow Roller and watched him get frozen for a while, my stress was finally blown away. Dagger Man wasn't really a hard boss, except that he gives you ridiculously high damage as well. His patterns were pretty easy to read. But then I wasn't able to wake him up easily so I used E-tanks as usual. Skipped part of Reactor Man's stage requires you to control your jump height, or else you will be laserfied. And of course, I wasn't good at it, died there many times... Ghost Woman's stage... was just meh. For me, giant maces were the main problem. Combination with other enemies was just terrible(I tend to use buster in most of the situation). Mid-boss was hard at first but got accustomed to it. Else things were just fine. Skull Man was really easy. Nerfed amount of shots were probably the main reason. Probably he was the only ally that I didn't use other weapons(not sure about E-tanks). The part you skipped had mace balls combined with some spiders and a bat. When you try to use a buster only, you will spend a hard time to pass this section. I'm currently stuck and still playing in the tower stage(unofficial name). Hope you complete the game!

[@TheNerdQ]

Also, have you used Shield Bubble at the very first screen in Tide Man's stage? If you go to the right after activating it, there is a little easter egg.

[@JNewsted1988]

This game is HARD. It took me about a week too clear all 8 Robot Master stages, get the letters, AND stock up for the fortress stages, which I barely even started at this point! This game needs a difficulty selection.

[@FoxTenson]

It really does have a punch, especially the optional bosses! I hate dune lady with a burning passion, and one fortress level is twice as long as it needs to be. Its good stuff though! I plowed through it all in one stream, blind. Lots of bumps and retries to get through things.

[@JNewsted1988]

@@FoxTenson I can't tell you how many times I Game Over'd trying to get that blasted O in Tide Man's stage! And he was the SECOND boss I faced!

[@FoxTenson]

I had to re do his level and get it due to game crash. Game crashes if usb device becomes unplugged. Normally not an issue but usb ports are on top of my case..and I foster cats so you get the idea. Advice for next time, if you got missile man's weapon you can jump and angle the missile up if you jump right under the bubble holding the letter. It'll blow up jusssst enough to drop the letter on you. Saves a ton of effort and risk!

[@aze559]

Not sure how much of this you've prerecorded, but there is a patch that fixes bugs and adds some gameplay changes which you should check out if you haven't already (saves will be intact) Ghost woman's weapon can be aimed easier and rock's buster charges faster just to name a few. I agree that ghost woman is a bit of a lackluster stage, wish the maces were used more, the arrow knight enemy seems too easy to outmash thus he provides little challenge besides the part at the very end. I do love the midboss and the yoku blocks in this stage, they're exceptionally well done as in they're not predictable, but you can still read them well. I do very much agree on reactor man's weapon not having good usage over some of the other weapons, which I think is a flaw with this game's weapon set. The weapons aren't bad but they feel samey in purpose, like reactor and drake man's weapon, sure they have some gimmicks to them but they do feel same in their usage.

[@DMSwordsmaster]

So Polar Woman's stage happened. As did the boss fight. I like how you didn't comment on Reactor Man's stage at all. Oh yes, that's what I want in my fast boss fight. Absurd damage output. What even. ... Did we really need X-style looping weaknesses for Reactor Man himself? Okay, I already like Ghost Woman the most out of the robot masters in this game so far for the personality. Wow, you just have nothing to say about anything in this video. Skull Man was pretty neat admittedly. Way more involved than his original fight. That spike floor introduction was very clever as well. That bell miniboss was also decently clever. That mace thing is also hilariously dumb. Shame about the fight being just... Eh. Oh yes, that's what Roll needed. An even better double jump. Lordy. RIP Mega Man.

[@johnrosie9769]

in regards to the harping on boss damage output...suck it up buttercup and toughen up and deal with it I think that it pushes the player to use the weapons of the bosses on the bosses so it's all good

I've tried mashing out of Ghost Woman's Soul Trap, and it didn't do jack shit, I still got hit. I think you need to mash way harder than is humanly possible, so in reality, you're just taking a hit there.

I mean, I kinda brought that up in the video itself, but trust me when I say it's not being done out of any sort of malicious intent. I speak up on the game's issues because I want to see it improved with updates (there was a step in the right direction with the semi-recent patch, but in my view, it wasn't enough to address all the issues).
