Hey Tooterp! Although I don't know specifically how it works, the Crystal Man stage skip is a glitch in which, upon dying, Mega Man falls through the stage. If I'm wrong on that, hopefully someone who actually runs the game (instead of me, someone who watches runs) corrects or affirms me. Eventually Mega Man falls past the boss corridor room and even dies. Since he passed the boss corridor room, he respawns there. Given that a BEAT letter is in Crystal Man's stage, the glitch discovery actually made the BEATless route faster than grabbing the letters. I don't know if it is the only strat for BEATless which makes it faster. Obviously (as you mentioned) the final Wily battle could be very troublesome without BEAT. But great reaction! I discovered your channel earlier this year and have been loving the content!

So from my knowledge the TAS was made in 2010, so both the crystal skip and the refights skip weren't found yet. Hence why you didn't see either when reacting to the TAS

I hope I have this correct: The Crystal Man skip glitch has to do with memory overflow, taking advantage of the memory index for certain objects and manipulating them. When most enemies/objects need to be created, that particular object will check for a free slot in certain byte addresses so it can be placed. If no free slot is available, meaning the maximum amount of objects has been reached, the object will normally not be created. Interestingly, though, there are a few objects that do not have this check placed within them, one apparently being the Pukapucker (the enemy with a separate head and body). That means the object can potentially bypass the limits set for placement, though unintentionally. How the speed runner enables the glitch is by filling up the object slots with these enemies, and then causing the next appearing Pukapucker to glitch up the game as it's looking for an empty slot to be used so it can be placed. This time, however, since the new Pukapucker can't find an empty slot within its usual index, it mistakenly goes outside of its valid index for positioning and uses the first available slot reserved for the memory address of the rooms as positioning info instead, thus forcing its way into the game anyway (incomplete, without its head) when it normally should not. This corrupts the stage information along with the data for where Mega Man is supposed to respawn after death and mistakenly places him at what the game perceives to be the next available respawn point, that being the boss room corridor for Crystal Man. A terrible side effect of this glitch is the respawn timer also being glitched up so badly that you must wait over 40 seconds before respawning again. Overall, you save a few seconds off the total time, but this glitch can only be activated during speedruns where Beat isn't required, since you'll skip the plate doing this glitch. I learned this from the RTA wiki.

Yes, this is basically correct. Distilled down to its basics, it’s an overflow glitch that causes Mega Man to respawn before the boss gate. Because employing it is inarguably faster than doing the stage normally (even with the 45 second time loss), you’re skipping the V/5 letter which makes the Beat-less route the only option. You try for a first time refight skip and then hope Wily Capsule gives good RNG.

“Oh Mega Man pulling out the N-bomb. Don’t ask me why they renamed that. I don’t know.” Now all I can think about is MegaMan running around calling other robots the “N-word”.

Remember: When a Speedrunner or TAS player stops at some point, it's because they have a plan (They try to perform a glitch). 5:54 Mind blowing. I was watching your video and just noticed you weren't saying "super hero" but "super arrow"!

I'm torn on this one. This is not my favorite retro title but this one did have some varied level designs/concepts. My biggest gripe is that the weapon pool feels forgettable. But I still play this one over and over in my legends collection when I have spare time before work in the AM.
