His first line was, "Nothing personal, but I've got orders." He says, "Impressive" after you dodge the fire slash, and "Nice shot" as he dies. He basically compliments you the entire fight.
Sword Man IS pretty cool. I don't know if he's my favorite in the game, but he's definitely up there. His stage has good music and is fun for the most part, and the battle with him is challenging, but not to the point of frustration. (And you know how few bosses there are that I can say that about?) I also agree with the statement about him having an interesting design.
Re-watching your perfect runs has made me realize how great design for the robot masters is in MegaMan 8. Each one’s fighting style / battle reflects their personality.
The icewave chamber can be got through with using the icewave by doing a couple of frame-pixel perfect slides. The flash-grenade chamber can also be got though by randomly pressing buttons like an idiot until the game takes pity on you and lets you through the door. In the other 2 chambers you have to use the weapons their where designed around both 1 time.
I love the visual designs of Quick Man and Slash Man. Needle Man has catchy music. Aqua Man, as much as it catches me off guard, I like how the Water Cannon looks, it seems like it would be a fun ability to play with.
Hmm... Sigma would have been very tricky to do right... In the X series, he's just such a "meh" character after awhile. He's kind of like Dr. Wily minus all the charm that makes Wily likeable. Sigma just sort of falls away from ever feeling like a threat, but isn't particularly amusing in behavior or anything, he's just kind of "there."
Oh I will definatly be layering them in that room for now on to get the early hint. The Flash bomb in general is one of my fav bomb type weapons since it stays on the screen dealing out damage for a good amount of time. Who doesn't like explosives :)
0:32 nah, it's Cambodia. I thought it was china too but the Megaman wikia said that it was Cambodia, which makes sense because they have temples similar to Aztec ones.
Its true, this design of swordman would have been cooler if they remade it for battle network, the one they used is just pathetic, they needed an honerable enemy, plus a battle between him and knightman would be a good show
@RoahmMythril You make a valid point there. Heh, guess you can't have everything, huh? Guess that's why I'm including him in a Battle Network fanfic I'm writing.
Also in case you wanted some bloody revenge. The flash bombs and water balloon simply murder Sword Man's mini boss. It doesn't take many at all of either one to put him 6 feet under.
This is how I always play mega man: 1st-2nd play-through: DEAR GOD IT'S FINALLY OVER 3th-5th play-through: That wasn't too bad at all 6th+ play-through: YEAH! YEAH! ALL THAT TROUBLE YOU GAVE ME THE FIRST TIME, I DON'T CARE! DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! And I salute you for being my main inspiration to become so good at mega man
at the end of the stage where the boss "door" is you can use flash bomb to open ladder that takes you to a ladder to another boss door. But you can't do that due to your megabuster only policy. no difference, though. : )
Not sure if someone mentioned it or not, but I'd have to say that looks like the jungles of either India or Thailand. I do recall supposedly those two places in Asia do have some palace/temple ruins.
Hey, Roahm, crazy bit of trivia for ya: from what I've read, the guy who voiced Sword Man is the same guy who voiced Colonel in Mega Man X4. Speaking of X4, that leads me to something that's kind of annoyed me a bit...in the Battle Network series, as you already know, three Navis are based off of X characters: Zero, Colonel, and, strangely enough, Iris. This is what annoys me: if they make IRIS a NetNavi, then why didn't they do Sigma?
In addition to what Roahm said.. The Battle Network series already had its own main villains - its incarnation of Dr. Wily (whose goal of destroying the current society to make way for a robotics-centric society is kinda similar to Sigma's goal), as well as his son Dr. Regal later on. The position was filled. Between that and how the Battle Network series handled Bass, there wasn't really any _room_ for a BN version of Sigma. There's also the fact that while it does draw some things from the X series, Battle Network draws a lot more from Classics and Legends.
Oh, the fun battles are doubly present in ZX. And, in a way in BN6, since Bass is IMO quite the rush. ZX's Hard Mode, both 1 and Advent, hold some of the most satisfying fights of all time, aside from Thetis, who's just pure aggravation.
For the Flash Bomb trial, I'm kinda curious what the puzzle was. I couldn't really see the red in the first room, or the other things in the next rooms. -shrug- Maybe I just don't pay enough attention. Mind enlightening me Mr. Mythril?
I never knew they showed you the colors ahead of time either. I always fought it out with a guess and check process and the enemies dropped in during the button testing. I also could see the red and yellow tips in the dark in the vid but I didn't see the green one well. I have to really squint it looks black on black. damn my poor night vision. And Yes swordman is classiest RM ever. Coolest in MM8 second best would be Astro then Grenade
I agree with you on the battlenetwork swordman Roahm, I mean he was just 3 big swords granted I found it mildly amusing that each one had a different personality, but still I found his BN design very lame.
How many technical issues have you had throughout this run? There was Grenade Man, Astro Man, and now Sword Man... And Duo, so that makes four. Am I missing any?
Huh. I didn't reaslize it even told you the order to push the switches... I though you just had to guess! ANd I love Sword man too. He just strikes me as really cool...
We need a megaman battle game like super smash bros brawl where you start with megaman, roll and the megaman 1 robot masters and unlock all the others :D
RoahmMythril I personally think that Blade Man would have the edge due to how he fights. Sword Man probably wouldn't be able to reach him most of the time.
SyntaxMagenta Given that Sword Man's upper half can detach and fly around, he would have a problem hitting Blade Man when the guy's up on the walls because why?
@nojkoor1584 Hard man smashes you and deals damage more than infinity, wood man made the first shield weapon and first grass type robot master, plug man is annoying also his evil stage, water balloon can get enemies low to the ground, tornado blow gets all enemies on screen and increases megaman's jump height, wind storm can blow enemies up in the air, and Top Spin is pretty useful and it was glitch to use too much ammo, they were all good, robot masters and weapons are all good.
damn it everytime he praised me and i felt bad when i killed cause he was polite im just too good natured.: later in halo: [bleep] you bleepin [bleep bleep] yeah well your mom whats't wrong left you skillz at home 1007. bada bap da da im lovin it.:D
Hard Man, Wood Man, Plug Man, Tornado Blow, Water Balloon, Top Spin, Wind Storm (Its a bubble lead knock off) Yay I think you are right Capcom's creativity has had quite a few issues over the years.
His first line was, "Nothing personal, but I've got orders." He says, "Impressive" after you dodge the fire slash, and "Nice shot" as he dies. He basically compliments you the entire fight.
He's most likely located in India, looking at the structure design.
Right, indeed true. The Water Balloon also immediately ends the fire cyclone and stuns Sword Man for a moment.
Sword Man IS pretty cool. I don't know if he's my favorite in the game, but he's definitely up there. His stage has good music and is fun for the most part, and the battle with him is challenging, but not to the point of frustration. (And you know how few bosses there are that I can say that about?) I also agree with the statement about him having an interesting design.
Thanks to ePSXe muffling the voice audio you can't actually hear him pronounce the "w" in this vid.
@RoahmMythril Sure, Because he is SHINY!
Sword Man's end quote is "Nice shot."
Re-watching your perfect runs has made me realize how great design for the robot masters is in MegaMan 8. Each one’s fighting style / battle reflects their personality.
You can actually layer the Flash Bombs to make the room even brighter, so that can help.
Then why is there a goddamn "W" if we're not supposed to pronounce it!? :)
+MegaPhilX Flame Sward!!!!
+MegaPhilX the game pronounce it like "flames word" ...
MegaPhilX Just like how Americans pronounce herbs “-erbs” and the English pronounce it “herbs” because there’s a feckin’ H in it!
If you mean the one where it leads up to a bolt, I got that in the "Collecting the Bolts" videos.
The icewave chamber can be got through with using the icewave by doing a couple of frame-pixel perfect slides. The flash-grenade chamber can also be got though by randomly pressing buttons like an idiot until the game takes pity on you and lets you through the door.
In the other 2 chambers you have to use the weapons their where designed around both 1 time.
I love the visual designs of Quick Man and Slash Man. Needle Man has catchy music. Aqua Man, as much as it catches me off guard, I like how the Water Cannon looks, it seems like it would be a fun ability to play with.
I covered it in the miniseries where I collected all the bolts in the game, as that's all that was up there.
Sword man we salute you!
Hmm... Sigma would have been very tricky to do right... In the X series, he's just such a "meh" character after awhile. He's kind of like Dr. Wily minus all the charm that makes Wily likeable. Sigma just sort of falls away from ever feeling like a threat, but isn't particularly amusing in behavior or anything, he's just kind of "there."

0:32 nah, it's Cambodia. I thought it was china too but the Megaman wikia said that it was Cambodia, which makes sense because they have temples similar to Aztec ones.
@RoahmMythril I just gotta ask about Dust Man, he seems to be the most disliked one. What do you think of him?
Indeed, this one was longer than I anticipated ^_^;
Its true, this design of swordman would have been cooler if they remade it for battle network, the one they used is just pathetic, they needed an honerable enemy, plus a battle between him and knightman would be a good show
Ahh, nice to have some history lessons there, that lets it make a little more sense, yes ;)
Thank you for explaining the boss fight.
@RoahmMythril You make a valid point there. Heh, guess you can't have everything, huh? Guess that's why I'm including him in a Battle Network fanfic I'm writing.
My favorite is Jewel Man. I don't know that I really have much of a least favorite, per se. I like all the Robot Masters in one way or another.
That sounds about right, yes, four thus far.
Also in case you wanted some bloody revenge. The flash bombs and water balloon simply murder Sword Man's mini boss. It doesn't take many at all of either one to put him 6 feet under.
This is how I always play mega man:
1st-2nd play-through: DEAR GOD IT'S FINALLY OVER
3th-5th play-through: That wasn't too bad at all
6th+ play-through: YEAH! YEAH! ALL THAT TROUBLE YOU GAVE ME THE FIRST TIME, I DON'T CARE! DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
And I salute you for being my main inspiration to become so good at mega man
at the end of the stage where the boss "door" is you can use flash bomb to open ladder that takes you to a ladder to another boss door. But you can't do that due to your megabuster only policy. no difference, though. : )
Half-surprised they didn't bring back that midboss for Mega Man 11
Not sure if someone mentioned it or not, but I'd have to say that looks like the jungles of either India or Thailand. I do recall supposedly those two places in Asia do have some palace/temple ruins.

FUHLAAME SWHAAHRD!!!
I just love his voice actor... in a strange way...
Yeah, Australia gets the best masters :D we got splash woman who's located there, and sword man who's from there... but then clown man is here too ;~;
Quite alright, no worries ;)
Let's see... Ice Man, Crash Man, Shadow Man, Pharaoh Man, Crystal Man, Yamato Man, Turbo Man, Sword Man, Jewel Man, Blade Man, Buster Rod G, and Jupiter.
For the Flash Bomb trial, I'm kinda curious what the puzzle was. I couldn't really see the red in the first room, or the other things in the next rooms. -shrug- Maybe I just don't pay enough attention. Mind enlightening me Mr. Mythril?
I never knew they showed you the colors ahead of time either. I always fought it out with a guess and check process and the enemies dropped in during the button testing. I also could see the red and yellow tips in the dark in the vid but I didn't see the green one well. I have to really squint it looks black on black. damn my poor night vision.
And Yes swordman is classiest RM ever. Coolest in MM8 second best would be Astro then Grenade
I luv dis guy.
Where would you find these kinds of ruins? I think maybe Cambodia (Angkor Wat) or Burma or something.
@RoahmMythril What about overall, who's your favorite RM?
I think that Sword Man's stage is in Tajikistan.
Hey Roahm i was wondering. Who is your favorite Robot master from each mega man game.
@Oeeshik I'm pertty sure he was just talking about the names.
I agree with you on the battlenetwork swordman Roahm, I mean he was just 3 big swords granted I found it mildly amusing that each one had a different personality, but still I found his BN design very lame.
How many technical issues have you had throughout this run? There was Grenade Man, Astro Man, and now Sword Man... And Duo, so that makes four. Am I missing any?
Thank you very much ;)
The Laser Shot and, i think, the Water Baloon can penetrate the fire cyclone.
Huh. I didn't reaslize it even told you the order to push the switches... I though you just had to guess! ANd I love Sword man too. He just strikes me as really cool...
Thank you ;)
hey at 6:18 it freezes on me is that normal
Battle of reaction time... Any bet on Sword Man vs Flame Man (another battle of reaction time)?
Wasn't there a secret room in here? The ladder before the boss.
We need a megaman battle game like super smash bros brawl where you start with megaman, roll and the megaman 1 robot masters and unlock all the others :D
What does Sword Man say when he loses? I can't hear it clearly.
I think it's Thailand
Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy, and Xenoblade characters according to smash fans: 0:12
Ver nyce, ver nyce!
@RoahmMythril I was afraid you may have done it on another video and I missed it. I should have checked first. Now I look like a jerk.
Who wins in a fight to the death, Sword Man....or Blade Man?
brnleague99 Tough call... but either way, it would be an interesting battle to watch.
RoahmMythril I personally think that Blade Man would have the edge due to how he fights. Sword Man probably wouldn't be able to reach him most of the time.
SyntaxMagenta
Given that Sword Man's upper half can detach and fly around, he would have a problem hitting Blade Man when the guy's up on the walls because why?
ZeldaTheSwordsman I still think Blade Man has the edge in mobility, & the upper half is the vulnerable part of Sword Man after all.
But not when it's flying around!
My favorite is Jewel Man.
YAY Swordman
as for his stage i would go for Kazakhstan IMO
I used Flash Bomb on the mid-boss and he went down in maybe 6 hits.
Personally I like him.
@nojkoor1584 Hard man smashes you and deals damage more than infinity, wood man made the first shield weapon and first grass type robot master, plug man is annoying also his evil stage, water balloon can get enemies low to the ground, tornado blow gets all enemies on screen and increases megaman's jump height, wind storm can blow enemies up in the air, and Top Spin is pretty useful and it was glitch to use too much ammo, they were all good, robot masters and weapons are all good.
Those don't look like Aztec so much as Southeast Asian
Haha, pretty much ;)
He's all presentation
Megaman 8 is basically what this series has closest to a Mario Party game? The trials really feel like Minigames instead of Megaman.
(I know that this comment is 3 years old.) not really, it’s just swordmans level gimmick.
What if I told you that jelly filled donuts are actually rice balls?
SwordMan english voice and japanese voice are really much two different thing
damn it everytime he praised me and i felt bad when i killed cause he was polite im just too good natured.: later in halo: [bleep] you bleepin [bleep bleep] yeah well your mom whats't wrong left you skillz at home 1007. bada bap da da im lovin it.:D
Second that!
I hope fire man pharaoh man flame man turbo man heat man shadow man centaur man quick man ring man in this stage
hee hee flame swaord XD
When I was young-
I was afraid of his stage music :D
They reeeeeally are missing out!
Sword man is apparently in India :o
sword man = BEST ROBOT MASTER EVER XD
Eh, their loss, they're missing out on a good series.
looking at the backround I would go for malaysia^^
This looked annoying to perfect run due to length
i hear "flame swyored"
Hard Man, Wood Man, Plug Man, Tornado Blow, Water Balloon, Top Spin, Wind Storm (Its a bubble lead knock off)
Yay I think you are right Capcom's creativity has had quite a few issues over the years.
RoahmMythril Mega Man Maker Succubatton Mega Man 8 1.9
My sister and some friends do that
:)
@FabricaRhino well, to be fair, mm8 IS horrible
Why mega man sound like a girl
In this game and Mega Man X4, Megaman is voiced by a female actress. It kinda emphasize how young he is
I got exact that same problem.
GUYS STOP PLAYING BATTLEFIELD HEROES SHIT AND GO PLAY MEGAMAN ITS AWESOME!
