Dr. Morbis | 2,088 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 10 minutes ago, PII said: Not trying to answer for wormy, just felt like throwing my own pesos into the fountain: I think Mega Mans are better than Contra, even though I think Contras are awesome too. They are both run n guns; Mega Man is more Run and Contra is more Gun. Mega Man is faster paced and Contra is more blast everything in sight. So even though I think Mega man is objectively better largely because of the creativity of all the robot bosses and unique powers that have a varied relationship to the levels/enemies, the essence of which one a person prefers is largely a matter of taste. That's my opinion anyway. Fair enough, but would you think the Mega Mans were better if you could only use your p-shooter? Hmmm...... I am interested to see if Skinny's run will actually be a p-shooter only, and thus a worse time, or if he'll go back on his own principles and post a killer time that uses all of Mega Man's arsenal like God intended. Only time will tell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time will tell... Maybe not then, hard to say for sure. It would still be faster paced though. I like flick of the wrist stuff. A P-Buster Only Competition would be cool too, but more of a Competition for a group who are all old hands at the game... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docile tapeworm | 4,194 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 @Krunch the soundtrack is great but I love your “rustle feathers” outlook. @mbd39 there you are! Was wondering about you! @Dr. Morbis mega man is better than contra. Mega man is better played “p” only. Mega man played “p” only is 10x better than contra. @PII I agree the pace of mega man is just as quick if not more than contra. When I watch my recordings the clickety clack of me slapping the d-pad and buttons is like a machine gun. @Murray hahaaaaa! I have a decent run recorded but now I wanna go back and float those gates pixel perfect cause I was sloppy for sure! Hell ya brother hahaaa! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason I keep a copy is because it’s a misprint circle seal. im glad I could help you see the light but please don’t mention it I do it out of love not recognition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docile tapeworm | 4,194 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 @Dr. Morbis I think I can trim my p only run down to 26 but no way I can go sub 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well my current time is my final submission, so if you or anyone else wants to take it down, more power to you; I'm just hoping for a top 3 finish. I made some really stupid mistakes in my run, but my only real goal was sub 25 since my camera will not do videos of more than 25 minutes in length. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was like, "What's he up to?...." I didn't do any research and there are definitely waaaaay better routes, but I just wanted to be able to use the Metal Blade on every single level. But after seeing you time-stop those falling spikes at the start, I would've altered my run for that. I also would've watched a bunch of real speedrun videos if this was like the tourney or a must-win week for a badge, but since it was the first game of the season, I decided to wing it "Skinny Grinny Style." As for your last run, it was nice to see that you stopped spending half your time on Airman's stage standing around waiting to not get hit. I was thinking, "Man, this is a speedrun, wtf is he waiting for? We don't get extra points for having more health!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeevan | 8,909 Events Helper · Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I know its rockman 2, but i did practice some of this run earlier in the week. Obviously not my recording, but thought you all might like to see a pro speedrunner I was at like 3 mins. on airman stage, and somewhere around that on quickman stage too. I had some things pop up and had to quit playing on Tuesday this week, so congrats to you all on this. One of my favorite mega man games Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link | 2,708 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I could break 26 minutes, but not 25. At least, not without doing some method research and I don't have time for that lately. But it was fun to have a run at this classick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
