I'm glad I found this channel from the TAS reactions you've done. These games are fantastic and it's neat to see a channel completely focused on Mega Man doing well in 2024.
10:12 when super arrow dings off of enemies immune to it, you can still stand on it. i didn’t know that this was a thing nor that it even COULD ding off enemies but there you go
Love megaman 5! Those star arrows were something else lol... especially in the protoman castle stages! The TAS made it look like megaman was wall jumping with them xD.
There are two speedrun categories: Any% and 100%. Crystalman's stage TAS gets the number 5. The ROCKMAN5/MEGAMANV letters. The visual glitches are the result of the CHR-ROM bankswitching not being initialized.
You mentioned the N. Bomb thing, so feast your eyes on this analysis: In Stone Man’s pixel art he is portrayed as a black robot (under the costume). On top of that, his helmet looks like an African kufi hat. … And his weakness is the “N. Bomb”. 😮 This is too much of a coincidence not to be intentional.
This TAS has made me very aware of how many M-Tanks the game just gives you for free, guess you're really encouraged to use them throughout the gauntlet stages instead of saving them for one specific moment.
mm4 you can skip the animation when you kill a master simply by standing in the exact center pixil, you don't have to use the balloon although being at the vertical center may do something similar too.
I cannot say for sure, but I do not believe having less health or weapon energy would reduce lag, because (and this is a different game from a different company, probably programed differently) Duck Hunt draws the entire screen, pixel by pixel, including the black screen.
Toot.. It's taken me 5 episodes to actually process you covering your headphones, FROM THE OUTSIDE! 😮 Ladies and Gents, buy energy drinks if you have kids... You will lose a step if you don't .😂
Could you make some videos of Mega Man clone games? I always liked Bucky O’Hare on the NES which used different characters in place of Mega Man’s power ups.
I do agree that Charge man and Stone Mans powers are definitely two of the worst I've seen in the whole franchise, but I still adore Megaman 5. It was the second Megaman game I ever played in my life as a kid. First game I owned on a NES was Megaman 3 and I fell in love with the franchise instantly
Why do I not remember so many M-tanks in Megaman V? I remember playing as a kid and there only being one in the whole game, and I think I counted 3 here? What game was I playing?!
That's because in Megaman V you are only allowed to have 1 M tank in the weapon select screen so if the game detects that you are still holding an M tank when you enter a room whit an M tank then the game won't generate it to make sure you don't get multiple M tanks
If you collect a single M-Tank during a run and keep it in your possession without using it, all other M-Tanks will no longer appear in their set locations. This is partly because you can only hold one of them at a time, and collecting more would be a waste. However, if you reach an area where an M-Tank would be (but isn't) and you already have one, leave the screen, use the M-Tank you have, and refresh the screen where the M-Tank would sit. This will allow it to reappear, letting you collect it once again.
I posted it in an older video, but mega Man 5 was the first game I ever bought myself new from the store with my allowance money. I have a soft spot for this game and seeing it destroyed is a pleasure. PS: I'm team "start with Gravity Man" since I know you're a Star Man guy 😉
100% is for mega man 6, it's BEAT and BEATless, and there isn't a separate leaderboard for it It is faster ONLY if you get godlike RNG vs wily capsule. If he spawns low the entire time you can hit him with 2 charge shots, so 4/6 lowest spawns would be a free WR if you can get them. Otherwise, beat is faster if you're like most people and you get 12 high spawns.
Same with the dark 4 fight, it's faster to use buster because it's 3 damage per hit, and beat has to reset similarly to how the charge shot does, so it's way way way faster, plus you don't have to refill it during an M-tank fill
No one has redone the mega man 5 TAS since the refight skip I guess, also the wily press fight has been made much faster since this was made, basically all of wily 3 is faster now.
I actually dont hear many complain about MM5 to be honest other than a specific few. I mean i dont like the weapons but I still have fun playin it. My least favorite MM game from the original series has to be MM6, My favorite being MM3
It's cool, your voice is always kinda weird but it ain't chased us off yet. Super Arrow is the best weapon ever. MM3 may be objectively the best game, but MM5 is the funnest because of that. Maybe tied with 8 because BALLS.

found a bunch of them late last year and am very happy about it
Can't go wrong!!
Can't wait to see the Mega Man 12 TAS reaction. That is a crazy one.
Star shield is BY FAR the best weapon in MegaMan history!
Metal blade.
so true
Star Crash*
Ummmmm no
For Me, It’s The Junk Shield From 7 Or Hornet Chaser From 9
Creating a ROM Hack where the only weapon effective against enemies is the GOAT Star Shield
10:12 when super arrow dings off of enemies immune to it, you can still stand on it. i didn’t know that this was a thing nor that it even COULD ding off enemies but there you go
Mega Man 5 is underrated MM game, I agree.
Cool TAS run 😁
The funny thing I found is that you hate Dr.willy UFO's sound but you cover your ears while wearing the head phone at 20:00.
Thats the funny thing lol
Love these vids. Keep them coming dude.
Love megaman 5! Those star arrows were something else lol... especially in the protoman castle stages! The TAS made it look like megaman was wall jumping with them xD.
Another great video with great commentary.
Charge man’s weapon is sweep the leg. He’s learned from cobra Kia
Any time I watch a meteor shower or see a shooting star, the Star Man theme plays in my head.
Charge man rules, his stage is dope, and MM5 is the second best of the OG6. Come at me y'all.
No, you’re not wrong. 1-3 are the most nostalgic, but 5 is very polished. The soundtrack is great too.
This TAS is really old and predates the refight skips and crystal man skip.
Ahhh, I was wondering why those two skips were not used!
I have no idea if it’s real or not, but I have seen a rematch skip using the arrow and sliding through the defeated Napalm capsule.
Star Crash in Mega Man Maker is situationally good because they made it so it gives you low gravity while it's surrounding you. So there's that.
this videos are my comfort zone
TAS is very entertaining to watch.

100% is for mega man 6, it's BEAT and BEATless, and there isn't a separate leaderboard for it unless that changed like yesterday or so.
@@robmoore3176Mega Man 7 as well
looks like the super arrow pushing you into the wall while sliding is what is causing the horizonal zips. who knows with the screen wrap zips
this is like the mega man.
You mentioned the N. Bomb thing, so feast your eyes on this analysis: In Stone Man’s pixel art he is portrayed as a black robot (under the costume). On top of that, his helmet looks like an African kufi hat. … And his weakness is the “N. Bomb”. 😮 This is too much of a coincidence not to be intentional.
Okay but explain how killing Napalm Man gives you the N-bomb pass unless Napalm Man is a metaphor for US government
You need a custom version with only shield type weapons- Star Man, Wood Man, Skull Man, Junk Man, etc.
Your friend Tas is amazing! Lol
This TAS has made me very aware of how many M-Tanks the game just gives you for free, guess you're really encouraged to use them throughout the gauntlet stages instead of saving them for one specific moment.
I love chargeman's music.
Wily Capsule sound:
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
I guess in TAS because of the zip it’s faster to not do the Pukapupper death warp glitch in Crystal Man.

The Star Crush is absolutely my favorite weapon in all of Mega Man 😂😂😂
I will never fight Stone Man again not think Mega Man is just hurling racial slurs at him.
Have you considered the possibility that Wily's shoes might be made of human skin?

👁️ ❤️ ⭐️ 🛡️
I love Star shield!
Really surprised TAS didn’t do the refight skip. Surely it isn’t faster to do the fights normally…
I love stoneman and chargeman they are my favorite levels.
Lore Accurate Megaman

@@marcosincolla9810 always wondered what was up with that, because I first played this game on mobile and it never did that.
Interesting! Thanks for the info! Never knew that. @@Linker2A03
Nice...i start with star man too! My favorite mega man game of the nes era
I was sick once then I found out I had covid. Dont worry I am ok. 😂
Dark man stage bgm is my favorite.
I posted it in an older video, but mega Man 5 was the first game I ever bought myself new from the store with my allowance money. I have a soft spot for this game and seeing it destroyed is a pleasure.
PS: I'm team "start with Gravity Man" since I know you're a Star Man guy 😉
sniper joe on a skidoo lol
I like starshield

ALso I kind of disagree, this run is dumb cuz it's just super arrow and drops, I'd like to see a non-super arrow TAS.
Same with the dark 4 fight, it's faster to use buster because it's 3 damage per hit, and beat has to reset similarly to how the charge shot does, so it's way way way faster, plus you don't have to refill it during an M-tank fill
also I can do the screen wrap stuff, kuumba is really good at it
No one has redone the mega man 5 TAS since the refight skip I guess, also the wily press fight has been made much faster since this was made, basically all of wily 3 is faster now.
aaawesome
Star shield good
I love the n bomb
I actually dont hear many complain about MM5 to be honest other than a specific few. I mean i dont like the weapons but I still have fun playin it. My least favorite MM game from the original series has to be MM6, My favorite being MM3
It's cool, your voice is always kinda weird but it ain't chased us off yet.
Super Arrow is the best weapon ever. MM3 may be objectively the best game, but MM5 is the funnest because of that. Maybe tied with 8 because BALLS.
Uh oh,
Charge Man is actually my favorite robot master. Guess this is how i die 💀
It's Star Crash, not Star Crush.
Also I agree that Star Crash is the worst weapon in Mega Man 5
Bro is becoming SSSniperwolf (joke)
Star shield😂
Also tas isnt a man its a lil robot you need to watch some gdq etc
Charge man looks cool. But he’s terrible. Same with stone man.
He is cheating with game genies codes
First lol!
