The Mega Man & Bass TAS is Officially the CRAZIEST TAS of All Time!!!

[@evilstarlegacy]

For those unaware, in a normal playthrough, you need to use both Rock and Forte to collect all weapons because you need both Rush Search (exclusive to Rock) and Double Jump (exclusive to Forte) to access some. Rock is glitching to get all of them.

[@reesecarlton]

I've had a lot on my mind recently, and I was trying to sleep last night until I woke up at 3:33 a.m. in a Cold (Man) sweat to a horrifying thought: What would a Tool-Assisted Speedrun of Rockman & Forte's 100 CD category look like? I couldn't bear the thought, and I honestly thought I was going insane. That's why I'm so glad Mega Man Pro Tooterp is reviewing this TAS. I needed this.

Alternate title: Rock speedruns his retrieval of Bass's entire CD collection

[@variastudios301]

The question is, do they hold the secret of what the P actually stands for in P-Chips?

[@Therealok-r7q]

That's a good question

[@Linker2A03]

17:16 It's the description for Mega Man's High-Speed Charge adapter from the start menu. However, the game is breaking so much that it also displays during the Stage Clear screen when it clearly should not. What's even weirder is that the adapter wasn't even selected before leaving the start menu.

[@t-universegamer7609]

It happened the first time he used the escape unit, he just didn't notice till later. It's still weird that it even stayed bugged for so long, however.

[@Linker2A03]

@@t-universegamer7609 Yep, I noticed it earlier too. I only time stamped at that mark because that’s when the question was asked.

[@SeansLipSyncingSock]

17:16 Very roughly translated, “It’s okay if a single thorn hits you, this item will make it gone” (i.e. it makes the damage zero). 19:06 “Rock Buster will be able to charge in a short amount of time.”

[@Linker2A03]

@@SeansLipSyncingSock Thanks for that. Because it went by so fast, I didn’t even bother to check if the description was the same in both occurrences, and I only checked the second one.

[@SeansLipSyncingSock]

@@Linker2A03 You’re welcome. TBH I paused the video and used Google Translate, typing out the first one (I’m still not sure how one of those words is read) and a photo of the second (the translated photo of the first looked iffy). The second translated very well, the first not as well! Even my Japanese-American grandparents would’ve been amused.

[@cocballus250]

22:01 from what i remember you said magic Card was the best in that video 💀

[@Neonsilver13]

19:03 I think thats the text from an item that is falsely displayed. If I didn't misunderstand it, it says that it's shortening the charge time for the rockbuster. 29:12 The glitchy appearance is probably caused that due to an error the game tries to load the image data from the wrong address. What is then displayed is whatever is at that address. That could be an image that is usually displayed somwhere else or it could be some random data that is then displayed as an image.

[@javideleon-xr1gf]

This is one of the megaman I never played looks nice

[@while_coyote]

Man, I love how many games this franchise has. I feel like I've watched a dozen of these.

[@beneddu]

You can never have too much Rockman & Forte content

[@FF2Guy]

The Japanese text on the Stage Clear screen is some of Auto’s descriptions of bought items. I saw one for spike protect and one for low-energy weapon charging, obviously glitched out as the text doesn’t belong in that screen I also noticed a glitch where Megaman apparently used Tengu Blade immediately followed by Burner Man’s weapon to create bouncing fire to ignite a dynamite block to get a CD in Astro Man’s stage

[@ChrisMMaster0]

So floating in mid-air has something to do with holding the opposite direction and alternating the dash/slide very fast, every frame it seems.

[@Wr41thgu4rd]

Displaced Gamers is an oldschoold dev from the genesis era. He has some great breakdowns on game logic and how some things work. He has a good explanation of the ejection logic from nes mega man games which gives a good idea of what is going on under the hood here.

[@ArtUndertheArch]

My head logic has always been Pirate Man is weak to Burner Man bc the flamethrower is spitting out gas underwater since it can’t ignite, and oil would beat water

[@reijigamer]

The flamethrower is pushing out gas by which I mean pressurized air and not gasoline. This is why "waves" of water are being pushed when Mega Man uses it underwater. Those waves push Pirate Man's bombs back at him and burst his bubble "shield"

[@ArtUndertheArch]

@@reijigamer I do mean gas as in a fossil-fuel, as in a flamethrower that operates by spitting a stream of propane. The waves would still be spitting out the propane, it just wouldn’t ignite. Ofc it’s Mega Man logic so who knows how it actually works, but Burner Man is definitely a propane or other fuel-based robot master

[@reijigamer]

@@ArtUndertheArch my comment was meant to agree with yours. I was trying to clarify that my usage of "gas" was not for gasoline, the liquid fuel, but for pressurized gas like propane or natural gas.

[@chrusader5134]

So I see. This is how you're gonna keep avoiding the _X-trilogy no dash challenge_ 🤔

[@jamessnedeker4799]

Mega Man 3/4/5/6 combined TAS may be my favorite TAS that doesnt involve arbitrary code execution and I hope you break it down

[@rocketosullivan74]

Hey, question that may has already been asked a ton of times (sorry for that), have you ever considered talking about Mega Man Unlimited in your videos? Honestly it is probably the best MM fangame and without a doubt as good as the canon games, imo such a great game deserves to be highlighted at times.

[@thomasffrench3639]

I found a link to one of your old Mega Man videos you privated on a SomeCallMeJohnny video just now, so that’s a funny coincidence that mentioned it. I couldn’t see it so I have no idea what it’s about

[@sukmykrok3388]

I will inject one Marijuana every time you say disc. So far, I've lost all motor functions... UPDATE: I have died and am posting this update from my coffin. I am SO STONED

[@javideleon-xr1gf]

CDs .... cds nutz hahaha got em

[@Loucrazy1]

13:38 he kick the bomb? kkkkk

[@reijigamer]

the thing I hate about Rush Search is if Rush gets hurt by enemies then his search is interrupted so Mega Man has to prevent enemy attacks

[@duelmasteryuya1205]

The title: The Mega Man & Bass TAS if Officially the CRAZIEST TAS of All Time!!! Me, a nerd who likes correcting people: 🤓 if Officially, should be is Officially.

[@L0an47]

Are you gonna react to the GBA version? lol

[@bignekidbatzero]

did you take your bothers eyes, I need answers

[@mohdadeeb1829]

GBA version.

[@charajaznao2829]

i have the mangekyo sharingan JAJAJAJAJAJAJA ♥

[@smasher8uhx932]

after the classic series will the X series be next or something?

[@reijigamer]

a lot of disks need Rush Search to get so a 100% disk run would be impossible with only Bass (Forte)

[@alessandrobaggi6129]

Why did TAS leave some discs down during the stages? Isn't collecting them all the entire point here? 🤔🤷

[@reijigamer]

@@alessandrobaggi6129 all of the CD's are not out in the open. You need Rush Search which you have to buy in the shop to get some and others require Copy Weapons to access. Cold Man stage had to be redone just because of that and is why CD's were skipped the first time.

[@alessandrobaggi6129]

@@reijigamer Thank you. I was just baffled at TAS leaving them down, but it having to traverse the stage a 2nd time to pick them all up makes sense.

[@javideleon-xr1gf]

Asstro man lol

[@Loucrazy1]

what is TAS?

[@ThunderHouseStudio]

top joguei no gba q abria esse ai

[@kazii_the_avali]

also the grey text is basically this item can be used once.

[@kazii_the_avali]

my guess for the hover is that this game is state based (thus it has certain mechanics per state) and downwords gravity is not part of the walking state, it may take (atleast) 1 frame to fall and this is reset via turning (witch may be a nother state idk) thus never allowing a falling state and not allowing dowwards gravity. EDIT: i just relised megaman is SLIDING not turning. sliding would count as a second state due to changes in physics and such. so this is mostlikely what is happening

[@PKMNwww411_MkII]

SNES has 64KB of VRAM, so there's lots of bankswitching.

[@SerpentHashiraObanaiIguro]

If I knew how to ROM hack, I'd replace Mega Man with Deku and Bass with Bakugo, because I love me some My Hero Academia, and let's be real: Mega Man and Bass are the Deku and Bakugo of Mega Man... _looong before My Hero Academia was even a thing!_

[@javierherrerap.8722]

Gran juego ✨

[@mohdadeeb1829]

Maybe do the 100% Bass in the future.

[@reijigamer]

do you mean Bass collecting all CD's? That should normally be impossible as Bass doesn't get Rush Search or any similar item. A lot of CD's require Rush Search. Though it would be interesting to see the max amount Bass can get.

[@mohdadeeb1829]

​@@reijigamer You forgot the main thing that Bass can't slide.

[@reijigamer]

@@mohdadeeb1829 if the glitches are pulled off then there is no need to slide but for a normal gamer then Bass won't get those CD's
