The Mega Man 2 TAS is CRAZY Impressive!!!

The Mega Man 2 TAS is CRAZY Impressive!!!
In this video we take a look at the most recent Mega Man 2 TAS Speedrun where the entire game was beaten in 23 minutes!! This run is not only impressive in terms of it's gameplay but it also does several glitches and zips that even I've never seen before despite being a huge Mega Man fan and a retired Mega Man 2 Speedrunner!
Check out the Comfy Café Podcast!! I'll be a guest on there today!!

I like how Bubbleman is like, "Uh...what's happening? Ow!"

[@yeolemillinial8295]

lol cover your ears "pushes headphones harder into ears"

[@ButcherGrindslam]

Birds appear when you hold jump button. The callback to this secret was implemented in "Rockman 7" (Shade Man Stage) replacing original music with "Ghosts N' Goblins" tracks.

[@Aelcyx]

Really liked the commentary! Hope someone knows how that invisible platform appeared in the final stage

[@42Mrgreenman]

If I were to guess I'd say he spawned the item, then paused just as it disappeared, allowing him to switch weapons, but it looks like it somehow glitched and the platform was still there but the sprite wasn't...the reason it may not be humanly possible is perhaps the item needs to be placed precisely, and the pause has to be executed frame-perfectly as the item hits the invisible wall...there may have been one of those funky wall jumps in there too...

[@eldebo99]

I appreciate the number of times you were like wtf just happened

To fuckin right!! *sits and waits impatiently*

[@cfisher2447]

Who the fuck are you?

[@metroidjones122]

Love this series of WR/TAS watches, Tooterp.

[@CrAyOn_PoP_fOrEvEr]

Tooterp, you deserved to be subscribe for the hard work for every video you have and especially my favourite video game of all time, Megaman/Rockman series. I salute you.🫡

[@Chadmiral]

While I wasn't speedrunning,I managed to one shot Crash Man with the Air Shooter

[@Scramble4]

im pretty sure the glitch around 4:55 is some sort of delay scroll caused by the birds and the shots megaman shot. idk exactly tho

[@AverageJoeMama]

The guy that made this TAS in particular (Shinryu) has a KZbin channel of his own where he plays Megaman fan games every once in a while, and he introduced me to a bunch of fan games I probably wouldn’t have heard of otherwise.

[@StrangeChickandPuppo]

I made the siren of Dr Wily's ship as a ringtone; works really well in a high noise industrial environment and cuts thru loads of construction/etc noise well. Also, the Tentacle theme from Maniac Mansion also cuts thru really well as a ringtone

[@StrangeChickandPuppo]

I was laughing so hard that entire Wood man stage, wtf

[@Equ3strianGam3r]

I'd definitely watch you reacting to speedruns of the rest of the classic series maybe even the X series as well.

[@GeneGerald925]

I would actually really like to see the other speedruns for the other mega man games. would be cool for ya to react to crazy and foreign glitches from them no matter how big or small.

[@ChaosFactor349]

Mega man 2 tas goes hard

[@codahighland]

Tasvideos has REALLY good documentation on all of the glitches.

[@lokkiirl4793]

That Air Man stage was absolutely nasty work wtf

[@invisi-bullexploration2374]

Maybe because I am sleep deprived but is that 'CHEESE' thing an obscure reference to the TGFbro channel?!

[@ShinryuuTAS]

Late to the party but this was entertaining to watch!

[@earlthepearl6414]

The original Mega Man is my favorite game in the franchise. MM2 comes in at a close second place.

[@emdivine]

It might just be misspeaking, but you said the TAS "edits" the RNG, which is a little inaccurate. They can read it at all times, but the ROM and RAM are unedited: all the manipulations are in-game. Just with the benefits of time travel of course they can do perfect manipulation so for instance Heat Man's first 30frame is done by choosing how to dance during the stage. The rest of them being during the battle itself of course, which is why Mega Man randomly tanks damage

[@drachefly]

PRNG on NES is done using controller inputs. So they're 'editing' it through the controller. Could be misleading wording, but not exactly wrong.

[@emdivine]

@@drachefly Yeah it's not really wrong, just I consider 'edit' and 'manipulate' to be different things. Edit means you have the ability to make up a value and overwrite what was there with what you just made. Manipulate means you are able to take what was there and make changes to it, usually according to its rules. it's all just a minor grammatical thing probably. Strong ability to manipulate like a TAS has makes it so you can have almost any result you want, so effectively it's almost editing. But it's almost, if they had actual edit powers they could just overwrite the PRNG value on the frames they wanted without having to be fancy about it

[@ChromeCobra420]

@@emdivine Quit being smug. It isn't any different than him calling zips glitches. They're the same thing, and trying to explain why you think you're right makes you look like an asshole. Not everyone thinks like you do.

[@Dziaji]

It’s completely correct. If played normally, the RNG would lead to random outcomes. Through making nonsensical inputs, the random outcomes are edited at will to be whatever is fastest.

[@freedustin]

@@Dziaji That's not how it works at all. There is no string of inputs that sets RNG to good. They just observe what drops when an enemy pops on that frame, then the next one, then the next one... Same with bosses, see which direction the boss goes when I shoot or jump or change direction myself on this frame, then that frame, then the next one.... Choose whichever one leads to your desired outcome the fastest.

[@noble_wine]

A proud noob who dies to quick mans' laser section. 😂 Good commentary. Awesome video.

[@pjorkan]

The music from this game is probobly the best music made in any video game.

[@maxstone3779]

Wait ! ! ? I just noticed something or am I crazy. The armored Amarillo shots looks just like the hadukon.

[@Dziaji]

You are crazy. That is a different game

[@maxstone3779]

@@Dziaji I know, but I was playing myself. Buts it's been awhile since an X video.

[@Dziaji]

[@Rafix]

THIS IS INSAAANE pls make of all mega man speedruns possible >:) even battle network and zero if you like it

[@inrainbows1829]

I neen playing Mega Man 2 since it was released and I still die occasionally on the lasers

[@TitanMorsche]

New sub. I am terrible at MM, but love to watch. Also, your hat is 🔥.

[@怪獣十兵衛]

final secene's item 1 seem like disappear,but actully still alive. and if you want kill alien quickly,close alien,and make sure megaman's hand is inside alien's body. .......and,push speed shoting button and you will see his life just like something you happy about ........until your hand or foot hit on table's foot.

[@jamesknapp64]

If the game switched Wily 3 and Wily 4 stages there be a lot less complaining as you get the weapon energy reloads before the boss rush

[@rugbyguitargod]

Uhhhh.... Megaman is basically Ultra Instinct Goku in this TASS lmao. Also, I'm surprised that speed runners aren't using Air Shot against Crashman. I'm not a speed runner, but I had even gotten pretty good at one-shotting Crashman with all three tornadoes.

[@RAGINGMACHOMANX]

Can someone please hack the Dr Wily spaceship noise intro to a much pleasant one ?

[@yeolemillinial8295]

i tested the tooterp lightly and failed but i mentioned that i'm not great with glitches, especially off the cuff like that so at least i was saying it was still possible it would work lol

[@GenyaArikado]

Tooterp didd you play the recently new Y+1 XMAS Megaman game yet? 9 stages and 3 bosses for a lot of fun! a short but good game

[@muscovyducks]

sick glitches

[@67gh276]

they use save points to do this tas?

[@philmoreira4168]

This is TAS?

[@ryanchurchill5081]

Tool assisted speed run.

[@ryanchurchill5081]

It essentially reads the input data and makes it what you wants kinda why you see the 1 ups everywhere after killing some enemies.not perfect on the drops but on jumps and the frames perfects it helps out.

[@philmoreira4168]

Wooooosh

[@yeolemillinial8295]

did you try a tooterp on bub man lol?

[@JoLiKMC]

You used jump-cuts in this. Do you know how _jarring_ that is? It might make some people think that's a normal part of the tool-assisted speedrun. Maybe consider not doing that, next time.

[@tcrobot]

I wonder how many zips and skips could be found if the TAS was linked to an AI program.

[@Funny_.cIips.streams]

How to beat mega man x3 the “cool way” when? I enjoyed the first 2

[@yeolemillinial8295]

is megaman 2 on the switch nes games. you totally can hit up and down at the same time on a joycon lol

[@xijinpig7978]

I from china We have China man 2

[@Shin-Mario]

The reason people like and say it’s the best megaman is cause it’s easy.

[@Dziaji]

No, it is because it has the best music and has the most fun weapons and bosses. The easiness is to its detriment.

[@christinarawlings948]

what about hard mode Mega Man 2? it still has it's hard moments

[@Dziaji]

@@christinarawlings948 not really. I guess if you are speedrunning it, and therefor not using e-tanks, the wiley fights before the alien can be a little tricky, because saving a crash bomb from the boss with the walls and the orbs on the wall takes a precision bomb placement on the top left. If you aren't speedrunning, You can either save an etank for the pre-alien wiley fight and just metal blade the shit out of it, and use an etank if necessary, or you can purposefully game over after the room boss to continue and get your crash bombs back and then that double wiley fight is silly because it just takes a few crash bombs and he's dead in like 10 seconds. The re-fights of all the bosses are super easy if you use the right weapons, and you get enough. I guess you could say the laser beams in quick man are hard, but again, there is a workaround to make it super easy by just using flash stop once the lasers get a bit quicker, and in that case, you might need to use an etank on quickman because you can't use the flash stop on him to get rid of 1/2 his life. Another thing that seems a bit hard but you can just skip is the long disapearing block section over the lava and pit in heat man, but you just use item 2 and skip the whole thing. So that leaves at most 3 somewhat difficult things in the game, but they can all be basically skipped, so once you figure those 3 things out, which isn't very hard to do, the game has no challenging parts at all. It is still super fun.
