Some younger audiences are very good. When he was 2, my brother became great at SNES games. The system was probably a year and a half (February 1993) or a bit before at the time.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there an in-game challenge mode where you try to take the least amount of shots possible? Looking at the top performances of each stage would probably get the answer pretty fast.
There is; however, it looks like the classifications between our two runs for what constitutes a shot might be different from my limited experience. Definitely some interesting stuff there though, and I'll continue to research it.
The reason it takes more hits from the acid barrier to take down Impact Man is because you get an acid projectile if you hit fire while the shield is up, and those shots allow you to get some good damage off. In other words, higher dps but lower damage per hit
Blaster Man: It's a beautiful day outside, Robots are moving and organic plants are blossoming.. On days like these, outlaws like you *Should be great ful you did a pacifist run* Blaster Man defeated!
@@caseyjarmes There are way, way more. Depending on your chosen path, you get either Marth & PAC-MAN, Sheik & Yoshi or Villager & Lucario, after that Fox, Simon, Pit, Samus, Zelda, Young Link, Ganondorf, Meta Knight, Ike, Greninja, Sonic, Cloud, Roy, Dark Samus, Palutena & Bayonetta are all required. If you then include the few you already mentioned makes that a minimum of 21, 22 if you count Piranha Plant which unlocks automatically after 10 other unlocks.
Hey, this was a really neat attempt to do the whole game. Though it seems like you completely missed the "Buster Breakdown" challenge mode, which not including bosses gives the players every weapon to try to do the stages with as few attacks as possible. A thing I noticed was that you didn't use Acid Man's weapon on a couple of midbosses where if you use Power Gear you're able to kill them with just the barrier in one go. If you wanted to do an update I think it'd be a good thing to look into, there's a lot to try to decipher on that front.
Been a while since I was early around here. Love playing the Megaman games but for some reason I can't bring myself to finish any of them. Also, I wasn't expecting the "minimalist" challenges to branch into Megaman, so this is a nice surprise!
Has anyone noticed that the boss weaknesses actually make sense? Like Rubber beats electric, Bomb beats rocks, Fire beats bombs, Impact beats bounce (sharp object pops rubber), Tundra beats fire etc. I feel like after Mega Man 3 the boss weaknesses stopped making sense but I’m glad Mega Man 11 changed that!
Wow, I've never realized how weird it is to watch someone start with a different Robot Master than me. I was like, "No, Skip, you gotta start with Block Man!"
I can confirm 2 shots on blast man. Took me a while, but yeah. Super possible. Easiest if you stand 1/3 from the left, charged. Jump when he lands and release halfway into the air.
I read the title and outrightly said that it was impossible. Speaking honestly, it truly is, but thinking about how far can we reach without actually fighting was interesting.
Man you're just pumping out these videos! I don't know if I could have the energy to even do half of these challenges once. Although a challenge I've been thinking about recently is one involving illusion of gaia (An obscure SNES game.) see in the dungeons when you clear out all the enemies in a room you get a boost to your health/defense/attack, my challenge for you is what is the minimal amount you need to beat the game?
I have a idea but I don't know if it's been done before but , How long can it take you to beat pokemon red or blue using only your starter ? You can catch other pokemon for hm purposes but they have to be fainted.
I've done that with a few of my pokemon games up to the last gym, and it tends to be rather doable, but not done it with RBY. Maybe the challenge could be to finish it with the starter and with it at the lowest level possible (to take away the exp grinding).
@@LuxurioMusic I'm sure charmander could do it with fire spin as that move is broken in gen 1, the opposing pokemon cant switch out nor can they attack if under the effect of fire spin.
Wow that was brutal! I especially like how you used two torch shots and then a chain blast on Blockman. But do you think getting Acid Barrier earlier would've helped in Blockman's stage? I saw a segment that could've taken only one shot (activating the barrier) instead of two for two separate uh, blockades. Anyway, I love your stuff, keep it up!
Sp I paused the video and saw it said "impact man / mega man 11" then I realized you had the whole video marked. Idk how you did that but it's awesome (yes I'm easily impressed)
Can you beat Deep Rock Galactic without mining? Solo only - This means you can use B.O.S.C.O. to have him mine Driller’s drills do count as mining - Driller’s main mechanic is completely out of the question Everything else is ok! As long as you don’t break rocks an ores and your good!
95* Let me explain why. Blast Man. You said it could be possible to defeat him in 2 shots, but you beat him in 3. You counted that as 19. It should be 18 that was NEEDED so far. Since it's possible to do it in 2 shots, you should adjust it that way. Since you fight Blast Man twice, that's -2.
Can you beat Kirby Super Star Ultra INCLUDING the True Arena with the maximum use of worst abilities/only worst ability in arenas and without any helpers? yes, i know, that doesn't sound original, but i bet that true arena with the worst ability will be a pain.
Here's a idea What is the Minimum amount of attacks required to beat Hollow Knight? Same idea as this run, but with the Dark Souls of Metroidvanias, and you have to get the "Dream No More" ending, good luck to you sir
Just watched your video abt nitrome games.brilliant and this megaman vid.Great job, it's great I found u .your analysis and work is awesome.SUBBED HARD!
There is a guy who beat it using only his fists. Took the unarmed feats and a few magic items to boost unarmed damage and he went around punching dragons.
"We've got a Pop Socket, a Traffic Cone Launcher, a Hammer Bro Wannabe, and this Bouncer up here, and we can't really land anywhere because of these electric barriers."
8:13 Actually if you're fast enough with the combination of sliding and the Speed Gear powerup item (the one that doesn't slow you down) you can make it through those sections without having to deal with the walls.
u can beat tundra man in one shot. use (power gear)scramble thunder right next to him, then use speed gear so the second shot can loop around and hit him before he becomes invincible
Try Super Mario Galaxy with minimal jumps, it's fun but also really hard jumps include normal jumps, double jumps, triple jumps, sideflips, long jumps, backflips, ect. but NOT things like jumping out of water or wall jumping
Wait is infinite lives accepted in these runs? 11:56. I totally get it, it would be really difficult but I thought the challenge was to mostly follow the main rules of runs.
I word this in the searcher: "skip challenge will with toro locosipppppopppoooooopopolalalalkal". I got that in the translator since I don't speak English and I decided to look it up to find out what it was and this video came out
Pichu! (You can beat block man in 2 hits, first a normal chain blast, then use a power gear chain blast, and you will kill him before his second and third phases)
Can you beat Mega Man 11 on superhero mode without getting hit? (I've tried and the best strategy is to start with block man then go acid, impact, bounce, fuse, tundra, torch, then blast) Block Man's stage is easier than the other stages and the previous stages are each of the bosses weakness... Blast Man loops back to being Block Man's weakness) Good luck... Nado Out!
Funny thing that took me FOREVER to find out. Pressing down and attack when an explosive from chain blast is out explodes them immediately. I am ashamed to know about this recently
What about Pokémon, the one of your preference, without grinding a single random battle (just trainers and gym battles)? That of course would mean only using your starter pokémon (is that even possible?)
That game was rated E10+, after your run, they should rate it E for everyone!
This was just my thinly veiled “For Your Consideration” campaign to the ESRB haha
