I'm 47, so yeah, I'm getting old, but I remember these games when they came out and I remember it quite clearly. I remember going to KB Toys or Babbages, in the mall, looking at all the newest games being released on the NES or, my jam, the C64. I remember going to Blockbuster video and getting a game to rent while my parents stocked up on rentals for the weekend where they would rent between two and five movies for the evenings. You know what I miss most? I miss that thrill, that joy, that complete excitement (blood rushing, palms sweating, legs jittering) that I used to get when we pulled into the parking lots of places like Blockbuster, Best Buy, or the video arcade. I miss that feeling of excitement.
Me too. I must have made it to the roadblock in Wily 1 a hundred times and could not figure out how to progress. Finally after a year I learned you could use the robot master weapons. And, yes, @Ryu you can die after defeating the robot master if their last attack does enough damage to take you out as well.
12:37 I just posted this on Twitter about a week ago(my clearing this with no damage), but while the timing is very tight for dodging the fire here in both sections, this obstacle can be dodged without taking damage. You can stand pretty far into the sprite without getting burned. The staff roll for Rockman Complete Works shows you how this is accomplished.
@@kraken5003 The easiest way, by far, is to stand still upon reaching the boss room and wait for Fire Man to shoot first. Do *not* move left or right. Instead, as soon as Fire Man shoots the Fire Storm attack, shoot back and jump straight upwards at the *exact same time* by pressing both buttons, holding them down until Mega Man lands. Mega Man will hit Fire Man and jump over the Fire Storm attack at once. Then repeat this when Fire Man begins to shoot again, never moving Mega Man left or right. Make sure not to jump again as soon as Mega Man lands, or he’ll jump too early and land in the fire on the floor, which will throw off the pattern. Lastly, as this is important, make sure you only fire one shot each time you try to hit the boss. Try to fire off more than one shot, and Fire Man will do the same, ignoring the pattern altogether. If this happens, Mega Man will get hurt.
@@Linker2A03I succeeded in defeating fire man without taking any damage using your strategy. But what about the rematch? You have to press right to get out of teleport device or else you can't jump to avoid his fire storm. I need the answer ASAP because I am currently playing megaman dan I am trying to do a no damage fight against fire man in the rematch. I move forward just a little just to get out of teleport device. But still, it's not 100% consistent. Sometimes I succeed. Sometimes I fail because he fire his fire storm two times in quick succession even though I move forward just a little. Please help.
@@arnoldoctavianagungwibawa9083 I just tried this at Wily’s castle. To succeed in the same manner, you must be incredibly precise in your timing. Here’s how it’s broken down: When Fire Man’s life energy finishes filling up, you’ll need to get Mega Man to start running to the right, but for NO MORE than half of a second (5/10ths of a second). Let go of the directional button immediately, and Mega Man will slide to a full stop. Mega Man’s right (or back) foot should be lined up completely above the floor’s third light blue square from the left directly underneath him, but right behind the black outlining of the same square. This is just to get the correct positioning. You will not need to press the D-pad anymore for the remainder of the fight, if this first part was done correctly. During this time, Fire Man will begin to charge up his fire storm attack, with the first wall of fire appearing on (but not yet leaving) his Buster arm. It will take around 5/10ths of a second before he actually fires the attack at Mega Man. However, Mega Man will need to start jumping and shooting sooner than that, at precisely 2/10ths of a second after the fire storm first appears with Fire Man. If you follow these steps at these exact timings, you can continue from this point the same no-damage strategy that you used earlier at his own stage. You have to be very precise, or Fire Man will start shooting more than one fire storm at a time!
So fun! I need to get back into retro gaming. I've been thinking about picking up FF Tactics - I got it as a kid from a friend, but the disc was so badly scratched, I could only play the first battle, then it would freeze.
Here's a game for Ryu to look into for his "Debunking the Difficulty" series: "Air Diver" for Sega Genesis. Never beat it back in the day, so props to Ryu if he can work his magic and get it done.
they might not be as enjoyable to watch tho cause they are a LOT easier than the original. Id like to see him try the later games actually like 9+ because they ramped the difficulty back up
Is there a way to jump over his attacks and not get hit by the flames it leaves in its wake? Those are what makes him the hardest robot master for me in this game
@@BigGahmBoss Ultimately it comes down to precise timing. If Mega Man clears the fire wall on his way up, the flame will disappear by the time he lands.
@@setsers1 it does work in (probably) all official versions of this game: NES original The Wily Wars Complete Works reboot Anniversary collection Powered-Up Remaster Legacy Collection Are the versions I can personally confirm that strat working!
"I don't want to hear any of that 'run invalid' crap". "I don't think that ladder thing's a glitch." -- I see you were very judicious in your TH-cam video titling :) Man, that Yellow Devil really trolled the heck out of you. I've been enjoying your "Debunking the difficulty" series so far, you've earned my subscription. Keep up the good work!
There's no way that the ladder thing is not a glitch lol. The developers certainly intended you to traverse over the spikes and not skip the whole screen lol. I don't understand how one can think it's not a glitch, it was not intended to be in the game.
37:15 You don't need Magnet Beam for that section. Jump onto the floating block, then a small hop back onto the platform. A big jump makes you bonk your head and not make the distance which is probably why you think it's impossible.
About "mandatory damage" in Fireman stage, or any other for that matter, you can do every Main line Mega Man games buster only*, no damage. MythrilDragon did all the games like this. *Excluding the necessary Wily stage power up uses etc.
Let's see Ryu try Mega Man 3 buster only. It's hard cos the bodies that the MM2 bosses inhabit are larger so you can't jump over them like you could in MM2.
23:34 - that "ladder thing" definitely is a glitch - it's screen wrapping (jumping up past the top of the screen so that it counts as being at the bottom of the screen). Found out about this by using Magnet Beam a little too high crossing the pit in Guts Man's stage :(
If you wait on Fire Man to shoot and then jump straight up and fire (only one shot per jump), you'll (a) clear his fire shot and (b) keep him from going spaz-tastic. If you do that consistently, it's pretty easy to clear him no-damage. You do have to be careful on the very last shot to jump forward rather than just straight up; otherwise you'll land on the fire, which lasts a moment longer after he dies. Now for your next challenge, you can run it all no-damage like RoahmMythril. 🙂
I would really love if we could get more this content. You know ... the different mario hacks and the other games. It's really sad that all this awesome stuff was moved to first reddit and now the tik tok streams. Just like this video - seeing something from those streams on youtube is really awesome and appreciated!
At 12:40, you can do that section without getting hit (I've done it, and I'm sure you can find others on TH-cam who've done it). It is very tricky, though. The timing on it is pretty strict. It's definitely safer to use the magnet beam to go around it (though I didn't know you could freeze it with the ice weapon). Also, at 37:13, it is possible to make that jump without magnet beam.
I had Megaman Anniversary Collection for both GameCube and PS2. The only 2 games I finished were Megaman and Megaman 3. I found Megaman X series to be way harder than the originals. Sometimes I could not get to the boss rooms because the stages were very difficult.
Ive never seen anyone hold a controller like Ryu does and tap the A and B buttons with your forefingers instead of using your thumb. Have I been doing it wrong my entire life???
You're not forced to take damage in Fire. It's all precise but possible. The little jumps over the Gabyoalls. There's a trick I explained in another comment that will allow you to pass through the dropping fire room without damage (Also you CAN NOT freeze those). And Fire Man has two different ways of tackling him. The legitimate way showed off in a commercial, and the strat most people use because it's quick and easy to learn.
@@SleepyReapy32 just making sure to upvote the knowledge because it's hard to find some well explained (and correct!) comments unter this video... Thank you for sharing (so I did not need to ;D)
@@overlordalfredo I try my best to point out any and most misinfo spread in Mega Man videos like these, not to criticize of course. But just to inform the TH-camr and others that don't know the game that well. Yw.
Yeh mate this challenge is pretty fun. I wonder if you did it because recently I said "real men play with buster only" in one of your videos? :P I completed all retro megamans, megaman x-x5 without boss weapons (except when required for progression. IE Alien Willy only being damaged by bubbles). And it gets quite fun and challenging!...although it also losses some of the coolness of using the boss weapons.
I remember that crappy box art, and I still bought the game based only on the screenshots on the back of the box. In those days, you didn't know. Mega Man 1 was the absolute best case scenario... or Blaster Master. Meanwhile. you could spend even more and buy Spellunker or Athena (over $40 bucks back then which was like $110 today) and it's a total POS.
Should've watched RoahmMythril's perfect runs on this game- buster only, no damage. Would've gotten some pointers on how AI and spawns work. Especially with Fire Man.
:Ryu beats Megaman 1 for fun with pause glitch - people complain :Ryu beats Megaman without pause glitch - people complain Next Ryu will beat Mega Man 1 dressed like Jack Sparrow with an eye-patch and one hand tied behind his back. - and people will still complain 😉 R
How can you give Elec Man a run for his money but not figure Fire Man's pattern out? Fire Man is way easier to lock into a repeatable beat. All you have to do is to jump and shoot at the same time every time you hit ground to avoid his attack. You don't have to move around once. Just jump and shoot.
To beat fireman with just a mega buster, shoot him immediately then move right and jump over his first fire attack where you should be roughly in the middle of the screen and Fireman in the far right of the screen then press jump and shoot at the same time, keep doing that as soon as your feet touch the ground, sometimes you may need to slow down your timing depending on the distance between you and Fireman. There's a rhythm involved so if you get it right then you'll dodge almost if not every attack from fireman, your shots will hit till you beat them, Fireman will keep running back and forth between two spots and only attack from those two spots. Hope that helps 😀
Damn, you said "buster only" and I thought it's buster only, but it isn't. The platform from Gutsman's stage in the very last stage can be done without using an item.
All right hate to give other channels props but RoahmMythril beat the entire MM series buster only and no damage. Kind of some old school YT videos, and he’s able to get past a lot of these historically impossible to get past unscathed areas….it’s some interesting content for sure.
You’re comparing an 8-bit series that essentially crafted its own “run and gun” genre from the aether, figuring out what “good game design” was from scratch on the fly, to its 16-bit successor built on that 6 NES game foundation using superior hardware. So yes, I agree, X has better game design. It had better have.
The blue bubbles don´t even give you score. Whats going on with those?! Also what happens if you don´t pick up the power ups mandatory to progress? Are you forced to start over?
The blue bubbles add to your score at the end of the stage. After you finish the stage, you're awarded 1000 points per bubble collected in the stage, in addition to the bonus that was set (random for the Robot Masters, fixed for the Wily stages) when you selected the stage. The only missable powerup that's mandatory is the Magnet Beam, and yes, if you miss getting it, you're pretty much hosed. You can't progress through Wily 1 without it, so your only choice if you get in there is to game-over (you can kill yourself on the spikes in the Foot Holder room) and get back to the stage select to go back to Elec Man's stage to get it.

Used to do this run all the time when I was 6-7. Nothing else to do and beat it every other way a thousand times.
37:15 is an unnecessary use of magnet beam btw
33:37 Gotta love Megaman grooving

You referred to Elecman as Electricman. Run invalidated.

I would love to see Ryu play mega man x4 my favourite game
So what happens if you get to the Wily stages without the Magnet beam? Is it just a soft lock?
the way you hold that controller makes me sweat
14 cycles of yellow devil in a row. impressive
How can you give Elec Man a run for his money but not figure Fire Man's pattern out? Fire Man is way easier to lock into a repeatable beat. All you have to do is to jump and shoot at the same time every time you hit ground to avoid his attack. You don't have to move around once. Just jump and shoot.
A scrub is a guy that thinks he's fly, also known as a busta
Mega man is a busta.
Darn, I had been hoping to learn a better strategy for Fire Man, but I guess even Ryu relies on attrition.
To beat fireman with just a mega buster, shoot him immediately then move right and jump over his first fire attack where you should be roughly in the middle of the screen and Fireman in the far right of the screen then press jump and shoot at the same time, keep doing that as soon as your feet touch the ground, sometimes you may need to slow down your timing depending on the distance between you and Fireman. There's a rhythm involved so if you get it right then you'll dodge almost if not every attack from fireman, your shots will hit till you beat them, Fireman will keep running back and forth between two spots and only attack from those two spots. Hope that helps 😀
22:40 - "No glitch" run indeed...
I thought the same thing at first! But it’s a no “Pause Glitch” run.
Damn, you said "buster only" and I thought it's buster only, but it isn't. The platform from Gutsman's stage in the very last stage can be done without using an item.
I really love Ryu, but for fucks sake: it's *Elecman, not Electric man!* 2:42

In my opinion, Megaman x series have better game design except X6 & X7
You’re comparing an 8-bit series that essentially crafted its own “run and gun” genre from the aether, figuring out what “good game design” was from scratch on the fly, to its 16-bit successor built on that 6 NES game foundation using superior hardware.
So yes, I agree, X has better game design. It had better have.
I think you mean X7 and X8.
If he wants a real challenge be play Megaman zero imo It's very enjoyable but stupid hard.
Coolkid did a similar run a few weeks ago. He Speedruns with Buster only with 1Hp or No damage run(ROM Hack). But ladder & pause glitch were included.
So he did something completely different, you say...
The blue bubbles don´t even give you score. Whats going on with those?!
Also what happens if you don´t pick up the power ups mandatory to progress? Are you forced to start over?
The blue bubbles add to your score at the end of the stage. After you finish the stage, you're awarded 1000 points per bubble collected in the stage, in addition to the bonus that was set (random for the Robot Masters, fixed for the Wily stages) when you selected the stage.
The only missable powerup that's mandatory is the Magnet Beam, and yes, if you miss getting it, you're pretty much hosed. You can't progress through Wily 1 without it, so your only choice if you get in there is to game-over (you can kill yourself on the spikes in the Foot Holder room) and get back to the stage select to go back to Elec Man's stage to get it.
