My dude I am totally loving this Mega Man series you're doing! The interviews, the behind the scenes and creation process with fans... there's so much here I love!❤❤ Mega Man 2 has to be one of my personal favorites but I still love what you did in the first video too! Keep up the great work because I'm looking forward to your Mega Man X series if you ever do one in the future!!!❤

[@GamerThumbTV]

@LowellLucasJr. Oh Mega Man X is definitely coming. We'll be working our way there step by step and the events of these games will influence the world of the future!

[@jeremyhall2727]

I love how you made this. You did an awesome amazing job dude

[@Wing-Zero-si1eu]

Loved this video. Best game of the franchise 🤖💙🔥

[@RodneyDunsworth]

Gameplay audio is too loud, man.

[@mayborneflower]

33:25 - I was under the impression that Quick Man, being a speed freak who habitually faceplanted walls due to his lightspeed movement, busted his temporal failsafe after one too many self-inflicted concussions. If Robots can even get concussed. Well close enough since there was internal damage done.

[@Jawmax]

With every video of this series about the mainline games I look forward to seeing Wily's "Evil Eyebrow Wiggle". It's his eyebrows that are the real villain of the whole series.

[@GamerThumbTV]

How do you think he convinces all these robots to turn against humanity? It just takes an eyebrow wiggle to hypnotize them

[@mayborneflower]

39:18 - Word of advice, the flat bit directly under Wily’s cockpit is a solid wall. If you lay a Crash Bomber there right as Wily starts moving forward, the explosions will OHKO him without fail.

[@duke2go558]

really? sadly by that point most don't have any crash bombs after the dumbass wall boss

[@mayborneflower]

47:34 - Man, it would’ve been absolutely hilarious if you worked in Enker’s debut chapter from Rockman-san. We get a flashback of their first fight from Enker’s perspective… and he’s whining about how Mega Man gets to shred him with buster shots from a safe distance while he’s stuck taking the hits for just one attack in return.

[@GamerThumbTV]

Definitely not one of Wily's finest ideas..

[@mayborneflower]

I’d place Super Adventure Rockman right after 5 due to the presence of Beat and the fact that the whole Darkman thing built enough of a rapport between brothers that Blues was cool with loaning Rock with his shield for the ongoing EMP crisis. Plus it just makes sense that Mega Man being stronger than two or three waves of Robot Masters combined (given the scaling from Ra Thor and Ra Moon) by that point would turn the Robot Masters from 6 into a relative joke (dunno about you, but 6 was probably the easiest of the mainlines pre-7; doubt it was by design)… after Terra of the Stardroids kicked his teeth in between both stories. Very not canon sure, but it definitely has a solid place if it actually were.

[@erichfiedler1481]

If I had a nickel for every Capcom franchise that made a name for itself thanks to having a popular sequel, I'd have two nickels, weird that it happened twice

[@GamerThumbTV]

Definitely wasn't Devil May Cry lol. DMC2 was a huge step down from 1.

[@erichfiedler1481]

@@GamerThumbTV it didn't reach it's peak until the 3rd game where Dante became a wisecracking badass demon slayer, I believe the true other example has to be Street Fighter II which revolutionized the fighting game genre in ways the developers didn't even imaginw

[@GamerThumbTV]

100% Street Fighter 2. As a kid my friends and I always wondered why they "skipped" Street Fighter 1. We had never seen a Street Fighter 1 arcade machine and it had no Super Nintendo/Genesis port. Then when I discovered it as an older kid and played it....WOW. Street Fighter wasn't good until 2.

I just wish that fan game where OG Mega Man goes up against a prototype Zero was canon, I'd love to see your take on it! Absolutely awesome work as always dude!

[@GamerThumbTV]

Oddly enough that's one portion of the classic/X universe that Capcom has commented. Their take: Zero and Mega Man never faced off. Other than that there's no canon story between classic and X. But I do have ideas 💡

[@eslm-studios2996]

@@GamerThumbTV Honestly, that adds up.

[@GamerThumbTV]

@eslm-studios2996 I have my own fleshed out version of events I'll be building to that doesn't conflict with what's canon, once we get to Mega Man X

@eslm-studios2996 Just playing it video by video. But some games will be be combined in one video. Like this next one will cover Mega Man 3 NES, Mega Man 2 Game Boy, and Wily Wars.

[@IronDragonslayer2316]

what i want to know is where did Doctor Wily get all of the funding to keep building all of those castles lol

[@GamerThumbTV]

The way I interpret it: He was stealing Dr. Light's military funding like I showed in Part 1, to build his robot army. Now he just constantly has robots on auto pilot building things for him. So it wouldn't require more money and resources. His robots are just doing it for him automatically based on his plans.

[@XenoJehuty84]

​@@GamerThumbTV and with robots as an army he can have them steal or fabricate what he needs. Plus good ol' shell companies to further launder investments

[@ZenkuTheories]

40:49 my poor ears. That part needed a headphone warning

[@user-oo5jb8uq6v]

Another entertaining installment. I love how you even come up with origins/explanations for why the basic enemies are in the stages. Also nice use of Ra Moon being the reason why Wily can rebuild and copy the Robot Masters so quickly. Though does this mean we're not getting the main story from Super Adventure in your timeline or is that going to wind up a "Revenge of Ra Moon" kind of story? Looking forward to the next chapter.😊

[@GamerThumbTV]

The story presented in Super Adventure Rock man just doesn't work within the existing classic universe. Too many discrepancies that Capcom had nothing to do with. Even Inafune writes that game off. But it does provide good pieces of story that work to explain that alien simulation and quick Robot clones. My plan is to do a review for it eventually just to cover it, along with several other weird side games like Mega Man Soccer in a big video.

[@user-oo5jb8uq6v]

@@GamerThumbTV Sweet! I have an old manga for Soccer, don't remember if it had a story it was more gag than anything. Here's another one to add to your weird list: Rockman Strategy for pc.

[@kokinfysraviolis1620]

It's always insane how much lore and story side media adds to the games. Can't wait for Megaman 3 onwards!

[@GamerThumbTV]

Thank you for watching them.

[@mayborneflower]

Oh right. For the next episode, will you be working Mega Man: Rush Marine into the narrative? Rush Marine is a 2010’s mobile game for the Blackberry that’s more or less an auto-scroller Rockman World game. It’s basically the origin story to the Rush Marine. Wily terrorizes the seas, Mega Man goes to stop him aboard a pre-nerf Rush Jet but is foiled when Wily just camps undersea when the fight turns against him. So Rush gets his Rush Marine form and Rock pilots him through the depths to fight eight sea monster mechaniloids (the game’s answer to Robot Masters, Rush even gets his own Copy Weapons from them) before finally chasing down Wily and driving him back out of the ocean for good. The only thing missing was a boss rush, since only like one or two resurfaced for the Wily stages entirely reworked from their original fights.

[@chazzthehedgehog5495]

Don’t forget to include Mega Man The Wily Wars in the next chapter too!

[@dineanddash22]

almost finished

[@glenngriffon8032]

I hope you will eventually touch upon an oft overlooked piece of world lore: The substitution, and eventually full replacement, of natural organic life with artificial, robotic versions. Pay attention to the backgrounds of the stages and minor details. You'll see trees that are natural and organic in some of the early games and later on you'll see fully robotic trees and insects and fish and then by the time of MMX you'll see the start of metal or organic matter fusing. By the end of Legends 2 it can be safely assumed that all of the original organic life of earth is extinct and has been replaced by technology that perfectly replicates life to a 1:1 scale but isn't the original organic life.

[@GamerThumbTV]

I am 100% going into that in depth, especially as we start transitioning from the classic to the X era.

[@theenderkirby]

Well I have some stuff to say on MM2 and MMGB1 and I am not the most positive on them. Yes I am more than aware on mega man 2's importance to the franchise and it's ambition but nowdays kinda like record tapes is outdated, the story is personally a step back when it come to a general story is feel a bit weaker like isn't bad but the plot is forgetable in my eyes, I still give credit for the great scaper scene I admit but I think the story isn't amazing, level design is hit or miss for me, I like metal man, wood man, air man, crash man and flash man kinda but bubble man is too trigger happy with spikes and can be a bit painful to look at, heat man stage is both boring and frustrating, and quick man stage while not the hardest stage in my life can be a chore at times, the wily stages I like 1 and 2 but 3 is meh and 4 have same issues I have with heat man only worse and the beam trap is the cherry on top, the boss rush is alright consider unlike later entires bosses dies fast and painless. As for the weapons, I enjoy leaf shield and air shooter, atomic fire can go to the abyss, time stopper is ehh, bubble lead is ok, crash bomber could be a better hyper bomb but failed if you ask me, quick boomerang is alright and yes there is metal blades but to be honest their power creep not make me happy, yes I am a kirby player so I enjoy being over powered but at the same time I don't want to cost over other options, yes there is copy abilities I prefer over others but I do have handful I enjoy so I am not stuck with one or two even forgotten land's 10 in MM2's case yes I do use leaf shield and air shooter but more because I feel wrong to use metal blades only and the other are just feel inferior to the buster. For mega man GB1 I give credit for trying to put mega man on gameboy but I can see the growing pains especially on cut man's stage, for the mega man killer yeah enker is underrated in my opinion but nothing spetacular and his mirror buster is pretty bad. Yeah that what I can say I maybe pretty negative toward two games but really is mostly come to my point of view I understand mega man 2's importance but when I think about overrated games is a one that come to my mind, and GB1 is solid but cluncky at times.

[@StaceyGardner]

the start of your coverage of the second mega man game is wrong, the first robot master mega man took down from the second was Wood Man. Metal man was the sixth, before Flash Man and Quick Man.

[@deadpool3982]

Good god do you really leave Metal Man until 6th?! 😂 The weapon he’s weak to is his own so no point doing any other first

[@GamerThumbTV]

It's not "wrong." This isn't a direct interpretation of any comic or manga. This is explained at the beginning of the video in Chapter 1 and 2. Just using pieces from them to supplement the story of the game. If you are looking for a direct retelling of the comics this is not the series you're looking for.

[@GamerThumbTV]

Nobody leaves Metal Man for the 6th boss lol
