[TAS] NES Rockman CX by CUI in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/5078M
TAS originally published on 2023-02-08
Rockman CX is an extensive ROM hack of Mega Man 2 that adds gameplay mechanics borrowed from the Mega Man X series and puts you in the shoes and point of view of a different protagonist. You play as Mega Man CX, an evil clone of Mega Man that may or may not have been created by Dr. Wily. Your goal is to take down Dr. Light and all of his Robot Masters, including Mega Man, and stop them from stopping Dr. Wily. There are also lots of references to other video games and even TV shows such as Kamen Rider. See if you can list them all!
In this run, CUI ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/CUI ) defeats Dr. Light and lets Dr. Wily conquer the world in record time.

It's so wild to think this is all just a modified Mega Man 2

[@okawaiikoto187]

Isn't this done with the mechanics of Rockman 10?!

[@ryandddher]

@@okawaiikoto187 probably. But this is still a Mega Man 2 romhack

[@panthekirb7561]

I think it somehow uses the engine from the later games (Mega Man 5). Like how Minus Infinity does.

[@risunderrated]

21:23 gives a new meaning to boss rush

[@morshumantheshopkeeperrobo6270]

Cheat Man isn't able to beat Gray Rockman. He thinks TAS is cheating.

[@subwaymanYT]

Lmfao

[@StretchMarkBrad]

Hahaha I love how Dr. Light went all street fighter on his ass the end!

[@AndrewBlechinger]

I think it's a reference to how in X1 and X2, Light gives X the Hadoken and Shoryuken.

[@chuckthequail137]

4:21 I still find Interesting and Hilarious that when you enter to Fight the Boss, it's like you're the boss on Megaman's game.

[@silverice3017]

I like how the opening stage mimics the opening stage of Mega Man X3.

The name is pretty self-explanatory.

[@schizophrenic_rambler]

Kinda reminds me of Zero mode from Unlimited

[@NinjaCacodemon_IsSus]

Bro is cheating with the cheat saber 😎

[@ericdrei]

It can deal damage on each frame if you time it perfectly or it has someway to manipulate it on TAS, like canceling the animation or something else.

[@zerobotico2382]

Why are so many people that don't even know what is a romhack or a TAS suddenly here

[@ziku271]

The opening stage is completely referenced to Mega Man X3

[@idleharbor0038]

I don't know why, but the fact that we only see gray megaman stabbing the bosses the second he gets in the fight is hilarious. Like, no hesitation, he goes like "yeah, stabbing time"

16:41 Castlevania 3 moments

The Quick Man level is a big Castlevania 3 reference as well.

That explains why he can be killed from anywhere 😂

This is wild, but awesome 😅😅

[@DSN.001]

Mega Man's being one of the 8 robot masters is an terrible idea. He should've been the runner-up final boss.

[@solarflare9078]

Western Mega Man players seeing a Japanese Rockman ROM hack for the first time (They don't expect sporadic, fast-paced mechanics)

[@panthekirb7561]

@@solarflare9078 Have you even played this? Rockman CX is heavily flawed and only appeals to a very specific kind of person. It requires a lot of trial and error while not even being all that great. I still enjoy it more than the majority of hacks of course but Its not a quality gaming experience. The trolling and questionable design almost reaches the level of Mega Man X6, where the player needs to outcheese the game rather than outplay it.

[@RhinoKaus]

I’m so confused. Why is Dr. Light the enemy? He’s the good guy. This game seems so “all over the place”. Not like the older 8-bit titles at all. Feels like a copy and paste title to me.😕

[@Wings_Of_Nightfall]

That's because "Gray Man" is a bot created by Dr Wily. We're fighting for him, not against him. It'd only make sense for Light to be the antagonist in this scenario.

[@cowgaming7186]

This is literally a rom hack

[@sammer1097]

It's a story about an evil clone of Mega Man fighting against Dr. Light and at no point does it contradict that, so it certainly isn't "all over the place." Also, given how much work would obviously need to have been done on all the custom sprites and levels, as well as the credits showing all the people who worked on this hack, it _absolutely_ isn't a "copy and paste" job and I question if you even know what that means.

[@solarflare9078]
