[TAS] NES Mega Man by Shinryuu, pirohiko, Maru & finalfighter in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2020-03-14
On this site, we make perfect movies, and then we surpass them.
Of course, if we can surpass them, they were not perfect in the first place, but who would have known?
When "perfection" is defined as "as fast as possible", it requires some sacrifices. Indeed, this movie sacrifices a lot in the playability of the game. Full of tricks ( tasvideos.org/... ) to pass through walls, tricks to avoid mandatory battles, tricks to pass through enemies relatively unharmed, tricks to acquire weapon refills in little time - there is very little in this movie left that resembles normal playing. Even death is used as a viable playing strategy that saves time. All of the tricks are still performed by the means of mere controller input, even though significant portions of the input were calculated by a computer program.
This movie improves the previous movie ( tasvideos.org/... ) by a tremendous 2 minutes and 37.99 seconds, thanks to a new route and better optimisation. Please read the authors' comments ( tasvideos.org/... ) for more details.
Of course, upon watching this movie, one does have to question something... is it Mega Man saving the world? Or Dr. Wily trying to save it from absolute destruction?
--------
WARNING: This run includes flashing lights that may trigger epilepsy.
The second set of encodes leads to a version where the graphics have been fixed.

[@Munimun]

why did Dr. Wily even bother trying a second time. did he really think he was a match for a timespace-corroding unholy being such as Megaman? Dr. Light created a monster.

[@Opanker_]

At least he can't manipulate time and space on the sequel

[@yharonthechaddragon7701]

*Fear him...*

[@derthevaporeon]

Dr. Light realized this and nerfed him to hell, so he can't do worse than that now.

[@OmegaVideoGameGod]

Because he wants the world to realize his genius.

[@refth6893]

He didn't create a monster, he created a god

[@prismatoid8322]

Wow, not even 30 seconds in and you managed to completely break the game.

[@NeuralNetProcessor]

I literally gasped when the Iceman break happened

[@mike_t_007]

Same! Had this game since early 90s and never finished it. Gonna have to try this when I have some free time lol

[@Johnas-u9l]

Damm

9:56 A fitting position for Megaman to be in, considering what you just did to the game.

[@thatelephant]

Power of TAS, break the game and finish it in style. Love it.

[@SkyTheLeafeon]

To explain what happened in Iceman's stage, that was a bit of memory corruption caused by a buffer overflow. Too many sprites on-screen for the NES' technical limitations to be able to handle - and the same thing happens in Gutsman, Bombman, and Dr. Wily's stages. Also, 8:07 - you're pretty much guaranteed to laugh here.

[@nicholaspaiva9608]

How did he get magnet? Did the iceman glitch cause him to acquire the beam also?

[@muthlave]

What's happening here

Pfft, you guys don't need a "fixed graphics" video. Megaman has to stop Dr. Wiley at any cost. Even if it means annihilating reality itself! (This is my favorite TAS. Keep up the great work! I wonder if every stage can somehow be skipped.)

[@davidthecommenter]

damn, you spelled "wily" just like mega man dos

[@DoubleATam]

i love the bit at 3:30 where mega man dodges the totally not real spikes

[@SpyroTheEternalNight]

this might just be my favorite TAS video. this is more than just a speedrun, this is absolute chaos. this is "placing Mario blocks in arbitrary places and the game just ends" levels of madness and i love it.

[@trifortay]

Mega Man 1 is definitely one of the games ever made

[@mahmuttuncay7818]

How did you get M weapon before elecman stage?

[@davidthecommenter]

Probably broke the game's memory in Iceman or Gutsman stage to drop it.

[@4matsy]

@@davidthecommenter Apparently they got the magnet beam from memory corruption in Iceman's level (most likely that stutter on the edge of the ledge at 0:23 - the area around the middle of that ledge is notorious for major glitches), because they had the magnet beam since the beginning of Fireman's level, which was the level before Gutsman.

[@davidthecommenter]

@@4matsy basically what i said but not in gutsman's stage.

[@deign808]

Tell me what’s it like dropping LSD 🤙🏽

7:44 for the creepypasta fans

[@OsamabinLaden1-i3o]

Megaman turned into Ben Drowned in 1 second thats insane

[@LordQuintix]

Congratulations, Mega Man. You single handedly glitched the entire world in your efforts to thwart Dr. Wily, are you proud of yourself?

[@ValAllenSamonte]

tbh much worse than how dr strange wrecked the multiverse

[@maverickhunterstupidiocy7779]

This video gives off massive amounts of negative energy, enough to become fatal for anyone in an 25.3 mile radius.

[@dankubus1633]

Dr. Light: Mega Man, a mad scientist named Dr. Wily, my former colleague, is determined to take over the world with a formidable army of robots. You've never fought before, but the task of taking him out must fall to you. Your task will be difficult and may appear impossible at times, but take all the time you need, and I'll help you with any low-energy and repair issues you may encounter along the way. Good luck! Mega Man: Give me 10 minutes.

I like glitchy TAS videos over the ones with fixed graphics, imo. The next one should also have glitchy graphics, okay?

[@JSSTyger]

The victory music following a stage boss reminds of the million dollar treasure in ducktales.

[@THEMETALISBETTER]

This was like watching a boil get popped. You want to turn away but it's so gross and fascinating at the same time.

This is what happens to Mega Man when Dr. Light accidentally installs a Game Genie into his memory banks. He can officially warp reality!

[@ElvisAlilu]

Are there any video with game breaking glitxh explanation?

[@aguilerajohn]

Can someone explain what the hell is going on here?

[@amso7169]

Basically, when tons of sprites get into the screen at once, the game lags. This TAS uses this to its advantage my messing up the game’s memory with the lag. This can lead to levels drastically changing and flinging mega man around like a maniac. It makes everything faster in the end.

[@OsamabinLaden1-i3o]

​@@amso7169 very cool

[@kurichan355]

Fake. This is megaman powered up as you’re obviously playing as timeman, how would he warp through space and time like that otherwise?

[@williamdrum9899]

0:30 What happened here? Was it just a matter of putting too many objects on screen?

[@ValAllenSamonte]

memory manipulation i guess (as most TAS does it). overflow caused to set this.
