@@Darteghoster it’s a common thing for people to complain that zipping is cheating, etc in TH-cam comments. Generally these people lack the understanding of what speedrunning is, or disagree with the rules. @death2qwerty is a regular in twitch and is just being a jokester!
It brings me so much joy to see you tear this game apart so casually, I wish I could take this video back in time to show it to my younger self. Congratulations Coolkid!!
Just discovered your channel- this is one of my favorite games of all time, love seeing these speedruns of classic games, especially WRs. Keep em coming dude!
I am currently playing Mega Man 2 using an emulator. I am not using any cheats BEYOND the best boss order: Metal Man, Wood Man, Bubble Man, Air Man, Crash man, Heat Man, Flash man, Quick Man. I found myself STUCK in Quick Man's stage, not being able to get past the force beams. This level design is extremely punishing and unfair.
Amazing. Found this after watching Salt's video on it. I was today's years old when I learned you don't fall through the missing floor on boss Wiley 3. I've been jumping the gaps since 1988 lol
Man I loved these games, MM 1-3, on NES back in the day- I had an nes advantage so I could cheat a bit. The discovery of which order to play the bosses was always fun, and the music was top notch! Great run man, cool to see these old school games still being played today. Side note, if I were young I'd try to get a job in network admin, getting certs in Net+, Sec+, etc.
Congrats CK on your WR! I watched you practice up to it, unfortunately, I didn't get to see it live, but awesome to watch it back here. See you on twitch!
There's a bug with atomic fire. It short circuits the death sound and respawns Mega man without delay. The same bug is used in the second death warp in Wood man's stage. It's really cool when you think of it that every weapon has a use in this speedrun.
I remember grinding this game for hours as a child. I could never beat the initial bosses to make it to wily. After watching this, I still don't think I can do it.
Wow! Just saw this... crazy run! Brings me back to those days. BTW, I know a way you can shave off more time from your record. Fight Metal Man before Wood Man. You can beat Wood Man with a single metal blow. And then of course when you fight him again in the Wily stage.
Steven Seagal taught Michael Keaton how to be Batman. They actually just followed him around with a camera, then reshot it with Michael & put out the movie
I've done both the "don't work and play games" thing and I've also found the kind of work that makes other people happy while I do something I enjoy doing, and let me tell you, the former doesn't hold a candle to the feelings of usefulness and purpose that the latter provides. Coolkid, there's more that the world could use that you'd be great at providing. More than just entertaining people on the internet. I'm gonna show my three sons this speed run this weekend to help remind them that playing games and streaming is fun, but there's something deeper in us calling out to be expressed and find a place doing something harmonious with our world. It's really worth finding out. Keep looking for what you're trying to _do._
I imagine the combination of just using item 3 to zip during Heatman and then using item 1 to jump over everything in Airman's stage. Apparently using item 1 during Airman saves more time than using item 2 in Heatman

I am so glad you got this WR back. Too bad you had to cheat and zip to get it back.
What?

You dont watch a lot of speed runs do you
Lol you trolling??
Utilizing glitches doesn't officially count as cheating per se
Here from Summoning Salt great job on the speedrun now, it is just a race for the sub 30s.
Mm2 is still one of the best sound tracks in gaming
Yup, check Megaman 2 rap by Duane and Brando
Debatable, look at the megaman X games
I prefer Mega Man 3 overall, but both are the best in the series.
@@litigioussociety4249 Indeed , Rockman 3 has overall best soundtracks in Rockman series.
I also think mm2 is one of the best.
It brings me so much joy to see you tear this game apart so casually, I wish I could take this video back in time to show it to my younger self. Congratulations Coolkid!!
That was some crazy awesome platforming on air mans stage.
Just discovered your channel- this is one of my favorite games of all time, love seeing these speedruns of classic games, especially WRs. Keep em coming dude!
thank you i'm glad you enjoy the runs
I used to think the bubbles was a silly idea. But then I thought, what would happen if I poured dish soap into my TV. Then it all made sense.
Very logical
" With a good Wood this has potential!"
Quote of the year!
Good Wood is crucial
Noice to know the world record of my favorite game of all time is in good hands
Agreed
You're dfinitely the best megaman 2 speedrunner, best megaman series speedrunner, probably best speedrunner ever
God tier record from a god tier runner. It’s been a great deal of fun watching you grind this out! Huge congrats, well deserved!

Once a speedrunner always a speedrunner. Awesome to see you still killin records ✌
Holy crap. That Airman stage section with the platforms!!!!!!!!!!! :O
Sweaty Stage for sure
@@COOLKIDbigboy well done. Never seen that done so flawlessly before. WR well deserved.

Hmm, so this is where the record stands today.
Also, Summoning Salt sent me here.
The way you ran Airman's stage is truly legendary,
Hell of a run to watch back. Love the style metal blades in Wiley 2 made it into the WR.
One of the best quick man refights I have ever seen.
I did not know anything about Megaman 2 speedruns and I was not ready for what I just saw. GG
Me neither. My first surprise was metal man not being the first target just because of how good metal blades are.
1:30 holy shit, lol... It's like an NES aimbot
Yeah that’s impressive
ez!
All hail the power of Zip Man. Congrats on the new WR.
Let's go CK! It was a matter of time! Congrats!
Fun watch. MM 2 is one of my favorites. I love speed run vids on this.
GG CoolKid! 😁 Congratulations on getting the WR in this game.
Congrats CK on your WR! I watched you practice up to it, unfortunately, I didn't get to see it live, but awesome to watch it back here. See you on twitch!
Legendary. Proud of you man
The domination is real, GG man. Loving every minute of these, ty
I’ve only ever gotten to the final boss on this game. This popped up in recommended and I’m not disappointed lol
im glad you enjoyed the run
CK dude you are a true absolute legend
Imo never in the history of gaming has there been a better soundtrack.
Woah! Only 8 days ago too? Amazing job! Mega man 2 is one of my favorites of all time
My man fucking crazy at this speed run. Awesome job!
Woooowww it never occurred to me to use item 2 to go over the water in Wily 3
Knew you'll take it back, amazing run!
Why atomic fire charge at 7:38?
There's a bug with atomic fire. It short circuits the death sound and respawns Mega man without delay. The same bug is used in the second death warp in Wood man's stage. It's really cool when you think of it that every weapon has a use in this speedrun.
Congrats on the run.
Nothing but respect like always.
S/N: you're looking good too. Whatever you're doing, keep it up 🍻👍
I appreciate that
I don't know why, but I'm pretty sure that zip at 18:41 is probably one of my favorite zips in any Megaman of all time.
it's a very satisfying zip!
what is "zip"?
@jackbelk it's a term used when Megaman clips into the wall and starts to get pushed to one direction. Giving it a "zip" like movement
@@Neokrazthanks very much
I remember grinding this game for hours as a child. I could never beat the initial bosses to make it to wily. After watching this, I still don't think I can do it.
NEVER GIVE UP!!!
Metal blade everything!
13:39 just shot your weapon right on the beat.
Wiley never saw that bubble coming.
13:40
He shoots to the beat here
"Future me is gonna be happy if I get this run" - CK haha
GG on the run!
I used to play this game when I was 8-9, I'm 31 now. and looking at this I still probably wouldn't stand a chance
Some of those jumps are giving me anxiety!!!
I was there live. I KNEW it was the run (because I redeemed it lol)
"Everyone watch out, he's got a bubble"
så jäkla kul att se en svensk broder gör detta. hoppas att du lyckas ta tillbaka världsrekordet
tack mannen

wood man only takes 2 damage from metal blades on difficult, 4 damage on normal mode.
The Wood Man zip looks so difficult.
I wish i was cool like the Coolkid. You need some sun 🌞 bro. Im in Las Vegas ,Nevada.
yes give me some of that sun. i live in dark sweden
Best soundtrack!
Cool
Honestly bro great run and I hope you find what you want to do!
You have ended the debastahun of doctah wahwee
Cygpher got the new WR 26:32
COOLKIDBIGBOI IS BACK
Steven Seagal taught Michael Keaton how to be Batman. They actually just followed him around with a camera, then reshot it with Michael & put out the movie
True to your name just Cool about it the whole time ... Like 'Yeah, could be a world record, whatever 🤷♂️..."😂
Congratulations to you!WR!!
dam son you destroid the fisrt boss
i think im in love
thank you thank you
some gay love huh
Difficult makes it so much more interesting.
Wily 1 & 2 is the best Mega Man song ever
mega man 5 and 6 have good wily themes too
This is not far off from the WR!
congrats!
おっくせんまん
おっくせんまん
Best BGM
You did it buddy!
That was awesome
gratz man! u clearly aint too skinny to set WRs even after losing the weight
GG, nice! When do we see WR in Mega Man V zipless? The best game eva :)
Congrats!

What happens at 5:58? Looks like a glitch or a cut
i turned around to make the bird spawn behind me which let\s me despawn the last fan guy
Congrats mannen ^_^
Congrats 👏👏👏
No offense when I ask this, but on wood man, would it not be faster to kill him using a fully charged heat gun?
it's only a one shot kill on normal mode, this run is being played on difficult
@@COOLKIDbigboy Ah, that makes sense.
Why not use metal blade against metal man in the wily stage? Wouldn't that be faster?
He did didn’t he?
damn you dont have a job but you have a world record, thats better imo
haha
Question: Is there even a TAS that's faster than this? =)) :V Congrat man, the competition of this game has been so intense.
Quickman with lights on?
Nice it’s back to the one and only 😊
Du är bäst.
Jag vet att du tar det.
If I hear "Greetings" one more time, I'm shutting the video down.
Is fireman second a new thing? Swore people had #2 when going in. Old strat?

Getting in early. Anyone know if this guy has a job yet?
Nothin Yet....
Professional Gamer
Don't the bosses die faster if you use their weakness? I know there has to be a reason he's not using the weaknesses but I don't know why
it's faster to obtain the items early on rather than fighting the early game bosses with their weaknesses
@@COOLKIDbigboy I see, gotcha
GG
And what if u just enjoy the game? 🙃
GG 👏
pretty good
I was gonna watch the stream but I had hw :((
DANGIT
Is he playing? Lol he keeps looking away
game's too ez, don't have to look at it while playing
car
Nice!!
Nice.
whaaa? GG
How come all you speed runners/streamers always play games with the Japanese text?
the cutscenes are over 40 seconds faster on the japanese version. gameplay is identical
@@COOLKIDbigboy That is a good reason. But why are the games designed like that?
@@mikemullets1396 It's probably just due to more letters that the game has to type before you can push any buttons
It's the Japanese language that's designed like that. I think some games are speedran in french even. Depends on the game and the translation.
