Roahm's tone of voice at the beginning of the vid, being somewhere between severe depression and NES-induced rage, pretty much sums up this whole stage for most Mega Man fans...
Gave this one a five just for the "over 9,000" animation at the end. Because of your process, I know that must've taken a little while, Roahm, and it made me LOL.
Finally figured this guy out--his pattern is SUPPOSED to be to jump 3 times while firing boomerangs at the top of the 2nd jump, and then charge at you. However, there is a glitch that makes him occassionally miss 1 of the 3 jumps. I kinda like it though. I like Quick Man, and the fast pace and unpredictability give this guy an unintentional awe factor that he wouldn't otherwise have. Mad props for beating him w 0 damage. That's impressive!
The glitch does more than that. I've seen him jump twice with no boomerangs to run. Jump once with boomerangs to run. Jump 1, 2 with boomerangs to run. Jump once no boomerangs to run. etc.
I still can't really find a pattern for Quick Man in MM2. If there's a sure fire way to fight him without trouble, I'd be interested to see it, but thus far, I haven't seen such, and thus still rank Quick Man as the toughest one I've gone through. It took me two weeks to get this one done.
Slow it down to 0.25 and watch it back he always jumps towards you then to the tall platform the one by the door, then he runs towards the wall jumps back to the tall platform. Every time you was by the door.
I have a crazy idea you walk in don't jump, instead of moving around just fire. Yes it's crazy but you will see a pattern. It's cause you are moving you don't see the pattern. Also at times he gets stuck against the wall.
The problem comes in with the Quick Boomerangs themselves, trying to figure out what angle he'll throw them at. If he does a short jump and just spikes them at you immediately, you're pretty much screwed.
Fuck this brings me back. I was so addicted to your megaman videos, which inspired me to finish all megaman games included X series and Battle Network. I recently just beat Mega Man 11’s achievements as well. A week ago.
Like I said though, I've had a lot of instances where he ran at me after just a single jump, so the "alternates between 2 or 3 jumps" doesn't seem to hold true.
Wow! I give you big props and accolades for beating that stage and boss fight the way you did. It was extremely tough and thats an understatement you did excellent on the run! Very impressive and congrats
Thank you not only for impressing me with your frankly incredible skills but also for the outtakes. I have no intent of ever beating Quickman without a weapon but had I not seen you do it I would have sworn getting past the Force Beams without Time Stopper. Seeing you do it and make it look easy frankly made me feel a little inadequate. And then I saw that it wasn't easy for you, you're just infinitely patient.
Just watched your blind run of Rock and Roll. I heard your voice at the beginning of this video I saw ages ago, and the difference is stark (due to quick man stress, I'm sure). I think I subscribed around the time you made this one actually... thanks for all the entertainment over the years, Roahm!
Been checking in on this video recently waiting for it to hit 100,000. Good job Roahm! First watched this back in 2011 or 2012 and it's still just as impressive now. =)
I should probably say this but awhile ago, I tried beating Quick Man under these rules (not recorded, and one run with the No Miss Rule, the other without). Both runs took over 900 attempts. Quick Man truly is a nightmare to Perfect Run.
It certainly felt about like that. This run gave me a lot of moments of "Why am I doing this?" The sense of accomplishment after managing to Perfect Run this stage answered that question for me.
I'm starting to really love your videos! Your accent and tone makes you sound like a Discovery Channel documentarian or something. Or a museum tour guide!
Yes, this definitely falls under the category of stages I never want to do again, it was definitely a pain in the tail. Of all the videos I've done, I think this one has taken the longest.
I understand what you mean. On twitch, I tried fighting him normally, but then I Star messing around and decided to see what the bubble lead does to him. It stunned him, so I switched to the mega buster, and started shooting him while he was stunned for a bit, and then he started running around again. I somehow beat him on that run and I decided “ screw it, I technically only hit him with the buster, it counts!”
Indeed, this battle dealt a lot with luck. He moves so fast, it's hard to be in the right place at the right time. This was definitely the hardest one I've had to deal with yet, Needle Man an extremely close second.
5:54 "Well, you wanted to get all up and close and personal, didn't you?" A lot of good contenders in this one... the force beam outtakes, the OVER 9000! difficulty rating, etc, but this one still makes me laugh the most, hehe.
my god i just love all the dynasty warrior songs! you have great taste Roahm!! i kinda made a little game as to guess what songs you will use for the robot masters. im failing in all guesses hahaha
Hmm.... That's a good question. In the end, probably Quick Man. Needle Man, it's mainly just a danmaku kind of thing, knowing just where to dodge. Quick Man meanwhile is a total spaz with how he throws the boomerangs, sometimes just spiking them right in your face.
Sometimes, I must mention, he will throw the quick boomerang almost always only when he jumps. Saving those few moments in the corner. It's very subtle, but it's there.
I'm truely amazed you had the patience to keep starting over and over for so long. Good work there, I'm sure it felt unexplainably good when it was finally over.
My nightmare bosses and total amount of attempts I've tried (for the bosses themselves) to get the Perfect Run (No damage, no weaknesses, no charge shot) of each MM games: MM1. Ice Man - 27 MM2. Quick Man - 65; Air Man - 28 MM3. Needle Man - 79; Shadow Man: over 99999 (call me noob but Shadow Man is the only boss I can't beat without taking no damage until now) MM4. Bright Man - 44; Pharaoh Man: 37 MM5. (No nightmare bosses, seriously :P) MMV GB. Pluto - 32; Uranus - 29 MM6. (sees MM5) MM7. Slash Man - 50 MM8. Aqua Man - 31 MM&B: (Mega Man Runs) Tengu Man - 63; Burner Man - 44 MM9. Plug Man - 33 MM10. (sees MM5) Btw, Pharaoh Man and Shadow Man are two of my most favorite Robot Masters as well. So although they're nightmare bosses for me, it doesn't mean that I don't like them. :)
With as many attempts as this took, yeah, I recorded the intro seperately just so I didn't have to keep doing that over and over. Doing the stage over and over was already tedious enough X)
I won't be doing Perfect Runs immediately, I'll do those once I've experienced the game a bit, gotten to play it and enjoy it some. It also gives me more of an idea of who best to save for my "final boss." For just casual play, I'm thinking I'll go after either Blade Man or Chill Man first, those two are my favorite designs of this group.
He actually does have a very subtle patter, and even knowing it won't change your score. To start, he does have a chance of jumping twice after a certain amount of time when charging Mega Man. So the reason to conclude he's stuck in the corner is that his jumping is based on a time event. Next, normally after 2 jumps he sends out quick boomerangs that home in on Mega Man twice. He can also do what you hate which is instead of 2 jumps either small jumps and charge, or home in with a jump.
Whenever we next send a "Greetings. We are humans." diplomatic space probe out into the universe, we ought to include a copy of Mega Man 2 with functioning NES/CRT screen and accompanying solar panel (or perhaps heavily shielded fusion) power source.
This is one that gets a 10 from the sheer amount of effort it takes to learn the pattern and dodge it. It’s far and away more random than anything else in the series, and any other series I’ve want to experience. Is it solvable? Yes. The AI has been broken, but when I realized what is wrong with it, it hits bottom 5 of all robot masters for me.
over 9000 is NOT enough Roahm. A ,more accurate description would be: OVER OKKUSENMAN (110 million) I've watched quite a few of your videos and congratulate you for your patience. Yours must be of boundless quantity. I would give up after 10 tries! I have seen your website too and I must say you are a great artist. Whenever I try to draw something I've imagined in my head something always gets lost in translation between my mind and my pencil. Regardless, SUBSCRIBED! ^__^
It just occurred to me That I have just let down my guard once again; If I get careless even once, I will pay with my life. I never will give up, But all those deadly lasers shooting from the wall unnerve me so; They are sure to get me every time. If I had the Time Stopper, I'd be fine; It would make it so much easier to beat this level. But every time, somehow, Every time, somehow, Every time, I lose!
Excellent Job on Quick Man, I don't know if you know this or not, but you can actually keep the Returning Sniper Joes from firing at you while they are in their armor. If you are in the air when they land, they will always jump again, makes them easier. -Old School Video Game King-
Somehow, Roahm's tired voice of his older videos seems to fit here. Not because it's an older video, but because I'm sure Quick Man is enough to drive a man to depression.
Yo, on twitch, I discovered that he can start the fight with one of two jumps: a short one or a long one. If he starts with a short one, stay still, jump, and shoot, then jump over him before he runs into you. If he starts with a long jump, get out of the way immediately.
Well, my ratings largely say it all, Quick Man is definitely at the top of the list. Others I'd say are Needle Man, Bright Man, Slash Man, Burner Man, Plug Man... There are a lot out there.
Here's what I notice: Quick Man will do vertical jumps (except sometimes for the VERY first jump) until throwing the boomerangs, then run in one direction for a full second. Focus on the boomerangs first, then get used to both jumping a second time when they come for you and getting ready for him possibly running to you from where he's about to land after throwing them. If only he always jumped high...
I have a ios recreation of Mega Man 2 that I bought, and I am searching out to buy the actual Mega Man 2 because every time you start Quick Man, he INSTANTLY does 6:24 or gets stuck on the floor and I have to spam him asap in that state to do a "Damageless".
Yeah, I mean, I don't live there either, but it's nothing I've ever actually heard. Like, I've only ever heard it used as like another word for "hyperactive" or such.
Aw man, I feel your pain. I agree about both him and his stage being insane, but he's still my favorite robot master. I even own his action figure with pride. What can I say, I'm a sucker when it comes to anyone with an aggressive personality. I also think that Quickman is hands down, the coolest looking of all robot masters, in all the Megaman games.
I can't defeat Quick Man; No matter how I try to dodge his spastic movements, He just kills me again. And even though I can get behind him, it's no use. I try to stay away, but he just lands on me. I shoot as fast as I can, But when I have to go against Quick Man's weird randomness, I'm helpless again! I'll try again, of course, but this is my plan: I'll keep my E-Tank saved in reserve just as long as I can.
Love the over 9000 thing using the tetris theme. Yeah, Quickman is a real pain in a ass doing it in perfect mode. if you weren't doing perfect run, the flash stopper will be effective on the last run of the blasted beams.
Oh gods, this one took me a full two weeks. I tried each day at least 30 times. So yeah... this one was brutal, the first stage to really give me a run for my money. Elec Man was tough (before I knew his secret), but nowhere near THIS bad.
Wow, incredible. I'm not easily impressed buy you certainly impressed me, allright. I would never have the strenght to pull off something like this, so, you cold say i'm a little jelous ^^ Nice job.
5:20 - Is this the true definition of "1-Up Curse?" Outside of the Time Stopper weakness, he apparently has a couple of strange weapon weaknesses. I've heard Crash Bomber and Atomic Fire damage him pretty well. I always used the Air Shooter, partially for damage, partially because he loved to jump right into it.
I recently found out something interesting about the armor the Returning Sniper Joes ride. Apparently, they were originally made by Dr Light.. Also, there is talk that the Armor was going to be usable by Megaman (aka Item-4), due to a piece of concept art of Megaman riding one, but was taken out of the final product. The picture can be found on Sprites Inc. Still, the thought of being able to bounce around and stomp Dr. Wily's Machines like Big Eye makes me grin wickedly for a bit. Revenge!
From your run of this game, I think that I see a bit of a pattern with Quick Man. He seems to alternate between jumping 2 or 3 times and running around. He also seems to throw his boomerangs at his 2nd last jump in-between jumping periods (meaning that after he throws his boomerangs during his 1st or 2nd jump, he always seems to do one more jump). Unfortunately, I'm not sure if he does a high jump when you're jumping and a low jump when you're not jumping.
I've been doing some tests on Quick Man with a save state before the doors and rewinding during parts of the battle. Whether he jumps or hops is determined by where you stand. Unfortunately, even if both of you get into the same positions many times, what he does isn't set in stone. Yes, he can and will change his strategy. Plus, a desirable move on your part, assuming there is one at the time, can sometimes require near pixel perfect positioning. So you might as well call him random.
what it looks to me is that his jumps have a pattern. its always a pattern of 3,run,2,run,2,run,3 and repeat. boonerangs are thrown on the higher jumps from what it appears
@jordanliow his attack pattern is dead on its his movement pattern thats random, he will always alternate between dashing and boomerang attacks however him coming at you with long high jumps, or fast low jumps is totally random. so if he starts with a boomerang on first jump at the end of the next jump he will run at you.
doing the stage and not getting hit, ok, but doing Quickman with only the buster and not getting hit, Man, your crazy and I really respect the fact that you actually did it... I will never try this, never.
@Firestorm2900 Not sure how much that helps, because I believe the bosses of that rom hack were given entirely different patterns and had their weapons altered
Seriously? You give Quickman a 10/10 and you only had 11 outtakes on fighting him. ELEVEN! Are these all of the outtakes, or are there more? If not, you are officially amazing beyond compare at Mega Man games. (It has been over 150 for me and I can't even get more than 7 hits on him.)
+HyperStrikeDash73 There were far, far more. I basically clipped it down because so many of the outtakes were just the same things over and over and over again, I didn't bother saving them all.
I figured out his AI script. The key is when he shoots at you, which is the only random element. He will always try to land on you when he jumps. He will always try to run towards you when he runs. He will always jump one additional time after shooting: Shoot on ground = 1 jump total Shoot on 1st Jump = 2 Jumps total Shoot on 2nd Jump = 3 Jumps total After final jump he will immediately run towards you and repeat the cycle. I don't know if the timing of the shots are controllable.
@RoahmMythril I have found a tiny pattern to quick man. It's not much, but every time he throws his quick boomerangs, he will jump twice, then charge at you. While this is not game breaking as he can still be a little cheap with his weapon, it will for sure help
Roahm's tone of voice at the beginning of the vid, being somewhere between severe depression and NES-induced rage, pretty much sums up this whole stage for most Mega Man fans...
Ladies and gentlemen, the god of megaman
My favorite MM2 stage is probably Flash Man. I like how smoothly it's possible to get through it, and I love his theme.
Roahm: hates Quick Man
Also Roahm: plays Quick Man's stage on Difficult
Maybe cuz it’s the real difficulty setting of the game. “Normal” is just easy mode
Gave this one a five just for the "over 9,000" animation at the end. Because of your process, I know that must've taken a little while, Roahm, and it made me LOL.
Finally figured this guy out--his pattern is SUPPOSED to be to jump 3 times while firing boomerangs at the top of the 2nd jump, and then charge at you. However, there is a glitch that makes him occassionally miss 1 of the 3 jumps.
I kinda like it though. I like Quick Man, and the fast pace and unpredictability give this guy an unintentional awe factor that he wouldn't otherwise have. Mad props for beating him w 0 damage. That's impressive!
The glitch does more than that. I've seen him jump twice with no boomerangs to run. Jump once with boomerangs to run. Jump 1, 2 with boomerangs to run. Jump once no boomerangs to run. etc.
Yeah, basically what happens is that Quick Man gets stuck in one of the two outer walls. If it happens on the second jump, no boomerangs get thrown.
Whaaat? You... Might be right. O_O
This is why Quick Man has no friends.
I didn't know it was possible to get a perfect run off of Quick Man.
orelas1 on b blaster alone
It just takes a lot of quick reflexes and luck. Mostly luck though.
@@curiosityman3704Nah. It takes my strategy.

Okay final advice play this at 0.25 speed then at 2 x the speed. Cause I maybe onto something
3:13 i forgot how much i love this series.
The problem comes in with the Quick Boomerangs themselves, trying to figure out what angle he'll throw them at. If he does a short jump and just spikes them at you immediately, you're pretty much screwed.
Fuck this brings me back. I was so addicted to your megaman videos, which inspired me to finish all megaman games included X series and Battle Network. I recently just beat Mega Man 11’s achievements as well. A week ago.
I actually live in the US, my accent is just sort of a product of my environment, I am actually of Scottish descent ;) I'm glad you liked the video.
Like I said though, I've had a lot of instances where he ran at me after just a single jump, so the "alternates between 2 or 3 jumps" doesn't seem to hold true.
Wow! I give you big props and accolades for beating that stage and boss fight the way you did. It was extremely tough and thats an understatement you did excellent on the run! Very impressive and congrats
If nothing else, your music selection is awesome in this one :D
Thank you not only for impressing me with your frankly incredible skills but also for the outtakes.

Seeing you do it and make it look easy frankly made me feel a little inadequate. And then I saw that it wasn't easy for you, you're just infinitely patient.
Just watched your blind run of Rock and Roll. I heard your voice at the beginning of this video I saw ages ago, and the difference is stark (due to quick man stress, I'm sure). I think I subscribed around the time you made this one actually... thanks for all the entertainment over the years, Roahm!
Thank you, always nice to know my work is enjoyed ;)

I should probably say this but awhile ago, I tried beating Quick Man under these rules (not recorded, and one run with the No Miss Rule, the other without). Both runs took over 900 attempts. Quick Man truly is a nightmare to Perfect Run.
Gaming Inkling Wasn't expecting that but thank you.
Gaming Inkling (Piccolo impression): Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?
Gaming Inkling What would that be?
Gaming Inkling The hard time.
Gaming Inkling I'd recommend you don't let them get to your head. Ignoring them is the best strategy. Most of their insults tend to be irrelevant.
It certainly felt about like that. This run gave me a lot of moments of "Why am I doing this?" The sense of accomplishment after managing to Perfect Run this stage answered that question for me.
I'm starting to really love your videos! Your accent and tone makes you sound like a Discovery Channel documentarian or something. Or a museum tour guide!
I realize this videos from way back, most likely from the time of the stars, but never the less I feel it deserves a lot more tumbs up.
Hello from 6/3/2021 this video was in my queue and I remember that Roahm really hated Quick man (most likely still does) and I love this
"That's why people constantly have numbers flying off their heads." :D
Man im so used to your voice right now but i love comming back to this vids to have a few laughs.
Yes, this definitely falls under the category of stages I never want to do again, it was definitely a pain in the tail. Of all the videos I've done, I think this one has taken the longest.
Yes, this was definitely the hardest of the stages I've gone through so far. It took me about a week and a half to do this one video.
I understand what you mean. On twitch, I tried fighting him normally, but then I Star messing around and decided to see what the bubble lead does to him. It stunned him, so I switched to the mega buster, and started shooting him while he was stunned for a bit, and then he started running around again. I somehow beat him on that run and I decided “ screw it, I technically only hit him with the buster, it counts!”
This is beautiful! Doing Quick Man first was the hardest one for me to learn.
Indeed, this battle dealt a lot with luck. He moves so fast, it's hard to be in the right place at the right time. This was definitely the hardest one I've had to deal with yet, Needle Man an extremely close second.
6:15 "NO!"
Nice quote about experience. I'm really enjoying your vids.
I had a feeling this video would reach over 100,000 views sooner or later. Who knows, maybe it could get to 1 million views.
5:54 "Well, you wanted to get all up and close and personal, didn't you?"
A lot of good contenders in this one... the force beam outtakes, the OVER 9000! difficulty rating, etc, but this one still makes me laugh the most, hehe.
Wow, your tone is different in later videos. I just decided to rewatch some perfect runs.
Haha, yeah, as I got more comfortable with what I was doing, more of my natural personality started to come through.
You're funny especially at the out takes and your difficulty rating on quick man. Hahahaha! Subscribed!!
Haha, well thank you on both counts, nice to know both my videos and my artwork are enjoyed ;) I hope you enjoy my future endeavors ;)
"Cant Touch This" LMAO! Well done! I don't know how you could stand doing that over and over again
So this video was shouted out by vgmyths for their no damage whole run of MegaMan 2
Or the whole series
my god i just love all the dynasty warrior songs! you have great taste Roahm!!
i kinda made a little game as to guess what songs you will use for the robot masters. im failing in all guesses hahaha
Hmm.... That's a good question. In the end, probably Quick Man. Needle Man, it's mainly just a danmaku kind of thing, knowing just where to dodge. Quick Man meanwhile is a total spaz with how he throws the boomerangs, sometimes just spiking them right in your face.
BUGGER COUNT: 0
Sometimes, I must mention, he will throw the quick boomerang almost always only when he jumps. Saving those few moments in the corner. It's very subtle, but it's there.
13 years later, I still love watching this video for the difficulty rating of "Over 9000." :-D
I'm truely amazed you had the patience to keep starting over and over for so long. Good work there, I'm sure it felt unexplainably good when it was finally over.
My nightmare bosses and total amount of attempts I've tried (for the bosses themselves) to get the Perfect Run (No damage, no weaknesses, no charge shot) of each MM games:
MM1. Ice Man - 27
MM2. Quick Man - 65; Air Man - 28
MM3. Needle Man - 79; Shadow Man: over 99999 (call me noob but Shadow Man is the only boss I can't beat without taking no damage until now)
MM4. Bright Man - 44; Pharaoh Man: 37
MM5. (No nightmare bosses, seriously :P)
MMV GB. Pluto - 32; Uranus - 29
MM6. (sees MM5)
MM7. Slash Man - 50
MM8. Aqua Man - 31
MM&B: (Mega Man Runs) Tengu Man - 63; Burner Man - 44
MM9. Plug Man - 33
MM10. (sees MM5)
Btw, Pharaoh Man and Shadow Man are two of my most favorite Robot Masters as well. So although they're nightmare bosses for me, it doesn't mean that I don't like them. :)
shiny :o
It only took me one attempt to perfect run Ice Man
With as many attempts as this took, yeah, I recorded the intro seperately just so I didn't have to keep doing that over and over. Doing the stage over and over was already tedious enough X)
My god it’s been 9 years.... I been subscribed to you for that long
I won't be doing Perfect Runs immediately, I'll do those once I've experienced the game a bit, gotten to play it and enjoy it some. It also gives me more of an idea of who best to save for my "final boss." For just casual play, I'm thinking I'll go after either Blade Man or Chill Man first, those two are my favorite designs of this group.
He doesn't always jump three times though. I've seen plenty of instances where he's only jumped once or twice.
He actually does have a very subtle patter, and even knowing it won't change your score. To start, he does have a chance of jumping twice after a certain amount of time when charging Mega Man. So the reason to conclude he's stuck in the corner is that his jumping is based on a time event. Next, normally after 2 jumps he sends out quick boomerangs that home in on Mega Man twice. He can also do what you hate which is instead of 2 jumps either small jumps and charge, or home in with a jump.

I saw u do the perfect run
suddenly access your chanel & search quickman
I enjoyed it ^ ^
This was easily one of if not the hardest fight I've been through thus far, so thanks X)
over 9000 is NOT enough Roahm. A ,more accurate description would be:
OVER OKKUSENMAN (110 million)
I've watched quite a few of your videos and congratulate you for your patience. Yours must be of boundless quantity. I would give up after 10 tries!
I have seen your website too and I must say you are a great artist. Whenever I try to draw something I've imagined in my head something always gets lost in translation between my mind and my pencil.
Regardless, SUBSCRIBED! ^__^
It just occurred to me
That I have just let down my guard once again;
If I get careless even once,
I will pay with my life.
I never will give up,
But all those deadly lasers shooting from the wall unnerve me so;
They are sure to get me every time.
If I had the Time Stopper, I'd be fine;
It would make it so much easier to beat this level.
But every time, somehow,
Every time, somehow,
Every time, I lose!
Am I the only one that actually LIKES Quick Man here?
Excellent Job on Quick Man, I don't know if you know this or not, but you can actually keep the Returning Sniper Joes from firing at you while they are in their armor. If you are in the air when they land, they will always jump again, makes them easier.

WOW, you defeated quickman without getting hit and only using the mega buster! That is amazing!
Seeing you wreck Quick Man and his stage like this... you are a god.
Yo, on twitch, I discovered that he can start the fight with one of two jumps: a short one or a long one. If he starts with a short one, stay still, jump, and shoot, then jump over him before he runs into you. If he starts with a long jump, get out of the way immediately.
the force beams get worse in MMX5.
Dear God do they...
DAAKO HORUDO!!!
Good thing he's not doing that, he's not going to play any Mega Man X games for the channel.
Force beams are still force beams
Learn them once and they should be fairly smooth sailing from that point on
Well, my ratings largely say it all, Quick Man is definitely at the top of the list. Others I'd say are Needle Man, Bright Man, Slash Man, Burner Man, Plug Man... There are a lot out there.

I think I'm impressed that you did a perfect run -while- reciting a script.
I have a ios recreation of Mega Man 2 that I bought, and I am searching out to buy the actual Mega Man 2 because every time you start Quick Man, he INSTANTLY does 6:24 or gets stuck on the floor and I have to spam him asap in that state to do a "Damageless".
isn't spastic a derogatory in english europe?
If it is, I've never heard it used as such?
+RoahmMythril I mean I don't live there myself I just had heard Mario party 8 or 9 had gotten recalled for use of the word spastic
although I may be mistaken
Yeah, I mean, I don't live there either, but it's nothing I've ever actually heard. Like, I've only ever heard it used as like another word for "hyperactive" or such.
+RoahmMythril Yes, same. Thanks for actually answering, by the way, I've been a fan for quite a while now.
I actually forgot about this, I'll have to look at it sometime. Too many other projects currently though.
Aw man, I feel your pain. I agree about both him and his stage being insane, but he's still my favorite robot master. I even own his action figure with pride. What can I say, I'm a sucker when it comes to anyone with an aggressive personality. I also think that Quickman is hands down, the coolest looking of all robot masters, in all the Megaman games.
Indeed yes ;) It's a difficult challenge to be sure, but there's definitely a feeling of accomplishment upon finishing ;)
Originally, yes, but it was also used in Warriors Orochi 2.
Hi Mythril! I was subscribed since 2010! Keep up the good work! :)
I can't defeat Quick Man;
No matter how I try to dodge his spastic movements,
He just kills me again.
And even though I can get behind him, it's no use.
I try to stay away, but he just lands on me.
I shoot as fast as I can,
But when I have to go against Quick Man's weird randomness,
I'm helpless again!
I'll try again, of course, but this is my plan:
I'll keep my E-Tank saved in reserve just as long as I can.
Love the over 9000 thing using the tetris theme. Yeah, Quickman is a real pain in a ass doing it in perfect mode. if you weren't doing perfect run, the flash stopper will be effective on the last run of the blasted beams.
I have memorized the force beams and I've been through the stage until Quick Man himself a couple times.
Yes, the 10 / 10 is purely due to Quick Man, and the fact that I was indeed going for a flawless victory, buster only. And on Difficult at that.
I love how young, Scottish, and incredibly-worn-out you sound in this video. Having just watched the latest MM playlist, it's a real difference.
This deserves major props.
Oh gods, this one took me a full two weeks. I tried each day at least 30 times. So yeah... this one was brutal, the first stage to really give me a run for my money. Elec Man was tough (before I knew his secret), but nowhere near THIS bad.
Wow, incredible. I'm not easily impressed buy you certainly impressed me, allright.
I would never have the strenght to pull off something like this, so, you cold say i'm a little jelous ^^
Nice job.
As soon as there's a definitive strategy I can follow.
5:20 - Is this the true definition of "1-Up Curse?"
Outside of the Time Stopper weakness, he apparently has a couple of strange weapon weaknesses. I've heard Crash Bomber and Atomic Fire damage him pretty well. I always used the Air Shooter, partially for damage, partially because he loved to jump right into it.
I recently found out something interesting about the armor the Returning Sniper Joes ride. Apparently, they were originally made by Dr Light.. Also, there is talk that the Armor was going to be usable by Megaman (aka Item-4), due to a piece of concept art of Megaman riding one, but was taken out of the final product. The picture can be found on Sprites Inc. Still, the thought of being able to bounce around and stomp Dr. Wily's Machines like Big Eye makes me grin wickedly for a bit. Revenge!
From your run of this game, I think that I see a bit of a pattern with Quick Man. He seems to alternate between jumping 2 or 3 times and running around. He also seems to throw his boomerangs at his 2nd last jump in-between jumping periods (meaning that after he throws his boomerangs during his 1st or 2nd jump, he always seems to do one more jump). Unfortunately, I'm not sure if he does a high jump when you're jumping and a low jump when you're not jumping.
I've been doing some tests on Quick Man with a save state before the doors and rewinding during parts of the battle. Whether he jumps or hops is determined by where you stand. Unfortunately, even if both of you get into the same positions many times, what he does isn't set in stone. Yes, he can and will change his strategy. Plus, a desirable move on your part, assuming there is one at the time, can sometimes require near pixel perfect positioning. So you might as well call him random.
what it looks to me is that his jumps have a pattern. its always a pattern of 3,run,2,run,2,run,3 and repeat. boonerangs are thrown on the higher jumps from what it appears
I agree. Quick Man deserves his own special rating.
That laugh at the end of beating Quickman, It sounds like you almost went insane trying to beat done.
@jordanliow his attack pattern is dead on its his movement pattern thats random, he will always alternate between dashing and boomerang attacks however him coming at you with long high jumps, or fast low jumps is totally random. so if he starts with a boomerang on first jump at the end of the next jump he will run at you.
doing the stage and not getting hit, ok, but doing Quickman with only the buster and not getting hit, Man, your crazy and I really respect the fact that you actually did it... I will never try this, never.
7:00 ROFL! awesome roahm, you deserve an achievement for that run. makes me want to try for perfection too =)
awsome outtake song, and awsome video!
@Firestorm2900 Not sure how much that helps, because I believe the bosses of that rom hack were given entirely different patterns and had their weapons altered
Seriously? You give Quickman a 10/10 and you only had 11 outtakes on fighting him. ELEVEN! Are these all of the outtakes, or are there more? If not, you are officially amazing beyond compare at Mega Man games. (It has been over 150 for me and I can't even get more than 7 hits on him.)
+HyperStrikeDash73 There were far, far more. I basically clipped it down because so many of the outtakes were just the same things over and over and over again, I didn't bother saving them all.
I figured out his AI script. The key is when he shoots at you, which is the only random element. He will always try to land on you when he jumps. He will always try to run towards you when he runs. He will always jump one additional time after shooting:
Shoot on ground = 1 jump total
Shoot on 1st Jump = 2 Jumps total
Shoot on 2nd Jump = 3 Jumps total
After final jump he will immediately run towards you and repeat the cycle. I don't know if the timing of the shots are controllable.
you defeated quickman without getting any hit. you get: another subscriber
@RoahmMythril I have found a tiny pattern to quick man. It's not much, but every time he throws his quick boomerangs, he will jump twice, then charge at you. While this is not game breaking as he can still be a little cheap with his weapon, it will for sure help
