[TAS] NES Mega Man 5 by GlitchMan in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2010-06-20
This is Mega Man 5 (ＵＳＡのロックマン５) played by GlitchMan ( tasvideos.org/... ), in an improvement of 1 minute and 22 seconds over the previous run. Improvements include several new glitches involving the Super Arrow ( tasvideos.org/... ) and new strategies for two of the boss fights.
Reading the submission text ( tasvideos.org/... ) is recommended for details on the glitches.

Man this TAS is 10 years old... Looks like it doesn't have one of the big skips they found afterwards when it comes to Crystal Man's stage.

[@lylakacey]

Yeah, it should be redone. There is also the skip in the "boss rush" area

[@Swordoflazer]

That’s what I thought also@@lylakacey

[@lizardKingproductions902]

my friend loves this so much they are doing a breakdance on the floor.

[@FigureFarter]

He must have some moves

[@aaronwilson311]

Where else would you do a breakdance...?

[@christopherballesteros-cy4tq]

Stone Man song sounds like an late 80s Break dance song

23:30 You'd think after 5 games, Wily would consider "Maybe I shouldn't invite him to my lair this time."

This game made me tear my hair out back in the day. This is a God tier playthrough. Excellent job, sir.

[@Mewdo45]

Ironically this is one of the easier games. Try megaman and bass in gba

[@ryang2573]

@@Mewdo45 This. Though if you want HARD I'd suggest Megaman 1 without electric man's beam exploit.

[@hitokiri7868]

pause glitch? wouldn't say "hard" in the sense that mm&b i, but more "tedious"@@ryang2573

[@GuanlongX]

Unfortunately it's a TAS, so not quite a human playthrough, but it's still extremely impressive to watch the strategies used to go fast in each stage.

13:35 Damn it charge kick. Damn this move!

[@ScrambledAndBenedict]

Is there a sound more iconic than the DOIP sound when NES Mega Man shoots his gun?

[@noside.foxhound]

You know, I'm starting to miss the Mega Buster (charged) in "Newer" games such as Megaman 9 and 10.

[@abraham3673]

9 was basically 2 (part II), which i think is why. at least proto man has it

[@gr8nachos469]

I just stopped using the charged buster in all megaman and x games that has it, its a lot of fun and makes the x intro bosses i bit more challenging

[@noside.foxhound]

@@gr8nachos469 I like the charged buster but, it would be good if they leave it in and the player can decide to use it or not.

[@kingknight_real]

I would have just nerfed it by making it charge slower or do less damage to bosses

[@davidthecommenter]

@@kingknight_real the charge only does 2 bars in 7

[@NeuralNetProcessor]

Good God the arrow strat in Gyro was insane

[@keyronkathrynekathrynkeyron]

[@rafaelblackman9879]

Weird that this tas doesn’t skip the re-fights with super arrow or skips Crystal Man’s stage with the death warp

[@loiamofficial]

Yo WTF How Did The Arrow Fly up so Fast Like That in Charge man's Stage!?!!?!?!?!??!

[@voidmax5707]

Wait... So you can perform a No Water Bike trick? How to perform it as a player? Or it's gonna be impossible from such a POV?

[@jeremiegaming3034]

Nah it has to be impossible for any human player

[@nagol2602]

Love the TAS, I just wish you went the extra mile and got all the letters.

[@HeadshotguyKungLao]

Super Arrow é o melhor poder do Mega Man.

[@vookchrysaetos8003]

How is that he always get energy refill when needed? Is the drop rate time-based or something like that?

Error in description All links but last go to Darkwing Duck TAS entries Edit: Links were fixed

[@wagnerramosmidichannelabso514]

Would have saved 88 milliseconds to make it 31:41.592.

[@MegaCartmanX]

I see that this didn't use the refight skip. Is it really that much slower than fighting the Robot Masters for a second time? If so, why?

[@awoongaunga]

The re-fight skip is faster (why wouldn't it be?). The only reason it isn't showcased here is because it hadn't been discovered yet when this was originally published on the TASvideos website back in June of 2010.

[@DJDarryl88]

31:55 when parents see your report card

[@alexisandreutorres2958]

14:32 Seriously? No one's talking about how megaman's walking on the water like Jesus for an intstant?

How do you manipulate the game to make sure you get the big energy drops right when you need them from killing an enemy

[@nameless646]

There was some Speed Racer/Racer X vibes there at the end. Well, except for Mega Man not getting punched and Proto Man not taking off his helmet but whatever.

[@SimonG258]

man, mega man 5's music hits different

[@MomsAgainstCatboys]

...you mean to tell me the big dome with the red metal bolts on the other side of protoman's castle was the front of Wily's castle, and They could have known it was Wily all along if Mega Man just walked around to the other side of the building??? -Me the first time I played this game.

[@Umbreon_Eevee]

Why is charge man not train man?

[@MrMegaManFan]

You can practically feel the bot screaming “No! Why do I have to sit through the YOU GOT XXX screen? Why is it unskippable? You’re killing my speed run!!!”

[@light6666]

super arrow should be renamed to super lemon

[@reptilrrudy2389]

I start off Mega Man 5 with Wave Man instead of Star Man because Star Man is hard when you beat him with the buster
