Pro Tip: On the screens with the little dude that gives you items, if you stay on the ladder you can see what he shoots out. If you don't collect it, you can go back down the ladder and when you go back up, he'll shoot out another random item, either big health, big ammo, 1-up, or E tank. This also works in MM4.
MM5 is one of my favorite Mega Man games. It might not be as hard as some of the others in the series, but it's fun, it's colorful, has some memorable music, like Darkman's Castle theme. Enjoy!
I'd just like to drop in and say, I've recently found this channel and really like your content. I'm not normally into watching long video game streams but you make them legitimately entertaining and a great thing to watch while I work. I was actually going to watch this live but I'm to used to watching videos on x2-x3 speed now so I'll be watching the VOD when I get some work done later. You likely don't need anyone telling you this but you're really awesome and I hope to enjoy more of your future content~!
@@thenonexistinghero Yup I notice! I haven't jumped into any of those videos since Mario Maker stuff isn't my cup of tea but I'll likely check it out anyway when I start running out of content in this channel XD. Considering game streams weren't my thing either before watching his content here though, I'm open to being pleasantly surprised to enjoying his Mario Maker stuff too
@@ulrickai I dunno how much you'd enjoy it, but he's a good entertainer and there's quite a few amazing moments in them (as in clutch moments and epic fails). I do especially dig his multiplayer videos, he tends to be rather trolly. But he hasn't made one in a while. I guess they might not be among his most popular videos.
When I was still a kid and funcoland started selling Nintendo games for like 2 dollars because playstation and so on was coming out. My aunt got me all 6 nes games it was such a great memory
Ryu after you beat all the NES Megaman games you can play the amazing Megaman Fangames. There are at least 12 of them which are really good! Play Unlimited, Rock Force and Rock N Roll first
I hate how awkward that game plays. Bass is my favorite MM character. I even named my 2nd cat Treble. But I *cannot* get into that game, and I’ve tried so hard lol.
I just beat it with Mega Man and Bass - and got all 100 CDs. The game is 5 times easier with Bass. It's definitely the hardest MM, due to the lack of energy cubes, and it's not even close. The game can be easier if you take the time to micro manage your equipment. I feel that takes away from the carefree play of the spirit of Megaman games, though. I would rank this somewhere after MM 2, 3, 1, X, X2, 4, 7, 5, 6, X3, MM and Bass. I beat 9 and 10 as well but don't remember them well.
Gravity is in space. Gravity accounts for not just the shape of the planets but for their reaction to other things (e.g. the planets revolving around the sun).
I HATE THAT HE NEVER USES HIS ABILITIES. THIS GAME HAS THE MOST UNIQUE MOVE IN ALL OF MEGAMAN HISTORY, Charge Kick, AND HE NEVER EVEN SAW IT ONCE. THAT IS UNFORGIVABLE!
When you started talking about the music in this game and how it’s mediocre, I was like “wait until he gets to the Wily Stages. He’ll change his mind.” I was not disappointed with your reaction, haha. I actually like the soundtrack in this game because it has that crisp quality to the tracks that was present in many late-stage NES games. If you listen to the tracks on their own, they’re actually even better because there are a lot of details to the songs that get lost due to the sounds of regular gameplay. That being said though, the Wily Stage track… so freaking good. It’s absolutely the stand-out track of the game and it reminds me of the MM3 Wily Stage tracks that were also fantastic. Anyway, it’s awesome to watch someone play this game I beat so many times as a kid for the very first time all these years later. Weirdly enough, despite being alive for all of the games’ releases, this one was my first for some reason, so it was an absolute treat watching your reactions to a lot of the elements of this game. The best parts for me were the cheap things that got you (the crystals in Crystal Man stage, the pillars in the Dark Man Stage, etc.). Keep up the great work!
I love watching Ryu play games, almost any game really. But the frustration that grows by the minute when he HAS the weaknesses of the bosses and doesn't use them... 🤣
One of my favorite Mega Man games, hands down. FYI, I didn’t know this back in the day, but there’s a way to skip Crystal Man’s level. On the first screen, if you die at a certain spot with one of those enemies from that screen in a certain spot, for whatever reason, you resume the level at the boss gate. Speaking of skips, when you do the boss re-fights, you can also use the “plunger” in a certain position on the right wall and slide through the wall, skipping all but 1 re-fight.
the order I used to beat these guys when I was growing up: Gravity > Gyro > Crystal > Napalm > Stone > Charge > Wave > Star. To be fair though, one of the issues I find, looking back, is that the charged buster shot is almost ALWAYS more effective than the boss enemy's weaknesses.
What’s funny is no one on your life stream mentioned the 3 secret spots in stone man’s level where you shoot the different looking stones to slide in to the secret rooms. One of them contains a letter to summon beat the bird
Hey Ryu, you mentioned wishing they had done more with slide mechanic. So sad you didn't try Charge Man's Charge Kick. It's a slide weapon that has high damage and I frames. I know you treasure buster only, but weapon mechanics started getting better here onward.
That's the one complaint I have with the buster only runs. Especially on a first time ever stream its always disappointing not to see weapons being used.
@@mutt-the-barbarian Exactly. Chat isn't telling him to use them either. Learning the bosses weakness is a good idea for later when you fight them all again. He could at least play around with them a bit. If down votes still existed, that's what this would get from me.
I struggle to believe he hasn’t played this before… entertaining but some parts were just made harder. Or he lucked out with the boss order. And NO use of the super arrow.
Not sure if you’re familiar with Ryu, but this is what he looks like when he’s struggling. He’s one of the best all-around gamers I’ve ever seen. Esp when it comes to platformers. He’s just built different lol
So will it be Mega Man 6 now? Will you do the entire series of Mega Man games? Such a jump up in visual quality from 6 to 7 after it transitions to the SNES.
Spent all my Bday money on this back in the day like $70 at Sears. It was worth every penny my buds loved playing it and the graphics were way ahead of most other games at the time. I was so happy when I beat it. Wonder if I could still beat this game. Wave Man level was the best imo.
Bro using a mindset of what manipulates what is what you should think. Boss weaknesses are CRITICAL in Megaman Games. My think was, and this is a hypothesis because I don’t actually remember, Waves are made of water and a Gyro would turn a Wave into a whirlpool. Even if I don’t have the right weakness in that example you have to do experimentation.
lol the chat replay. 'this one has better level design than megaman 4.' like... wut? lol. i'm surprised they didn't learn from 5 when designing 4. wtf...
I remember when this game came out. I beat it in a week, given the fact that I wasn’t allowed to just play for hours when I was teen. Probably the easiest game in the series.
Not just beat, he rarely uses weapons in other megaman runs. I mean I get why he doesnt do that, he wants to try buster only, but the weapons add more flavor to the game and without them the game is kinda dull
There was a pattern in some of the Capcom 90's games, where harder bosses had easy stages, and vice versa. Did anyone else find that to be so, or was it my imagination?
Well for megaman 5 specifically the weapons are trash, the robot masters are easier than in other game(in my personally opinion) and the charge shot is much more powerful. For other cases its weird seeing him not use weapons more during the stage because they add flavour to the game. I guess he wants to try everything buster only but the stages are kinda dull without weapons imo
Pro Tip: On the screens with the little dude that gives you items, if you stay on the ladder you can see what he shoots out. If you don't collect it, you can go back down the ladder and when you go back up, he'll shoot out another random item, either big health, big ammo, 1-up, or E tank. This also works in MM4.
Little dude that gives you items. His name is Eddie 👍
And just so ya know this also works with MegaMan 6
@@MattMontanez Eddie is my best friend
@@MattMontanez I am not sure if Eddie got his name from Van Halen or Vedder 🤔
@@IanNewYashaTheFinalAct I always assumed it was from Iron Maiden
One of the problems with MM5 is that the charged shot is almost always a better weapon option than any of the boss weapons
MM5 is the most underrated NES mega man game. Lots of unique stages and physics. Gravity Man is a blast to speedrun.
Fr, people only focus on the bad things of this game completely ignoring all the new things it added
i like more megaman 4
I remember a LONG time ago...
Playing this game.
Crystal Man gave me the hardest time...
Drove me nuts!
You can tell he’s never played this game, because he gets excited to get a 1-up.
All false
@shinola
Yeah, this game has crazy 1-Up drops.
Every time I play this game I get 4 of them in the first level.
Wow, 12 minutes in and Ryu has correctly picked the first three robot masters. Gamer!
200 IQ gamer moment
And he never played the game then beats second boss conveniently with the power up from the first boss, he is a genius

I'm playing through Megaman and bass now as Megaman. Game is brutal, but I'm a glutton for punishment.
Mega man and bass is actually one of my favourite games

Right before you said Rescue Rangers I was just thinking again about how much this game reminds me of that one
Please go though the rest of the series
8:00 janky ass rush coil hahahaha good one
Lots of great early memories playing this game during snow days!
3:13 "They fly now???" "They fly now!"
I HATE THAT HE NEVER USES HIS ABILITIES. THIS GAME HAS THE MOST UNIQUE MOVE IN ALL OF MEGAMAN HISTORY, Charge Kick, AND HE NEVER EVEN SAW IT ONCE. THAT IS UNFORGIVABLE!
The Charge Kick is like the most trash weapon ever programmed into any Mega Man game.
@@niemand7811how would we even know though? Now I have to go look up other UA-camr’s videos to see how the weapons work. 🤯
MM5 is top 3 MegaMan games from classic series.
And probably the best on NES
45:10 the most Mega Man 5 moment
Dude mm5 was a good game. So glad you played it

Honestly, MM5 is tied with MM2 as my favorite of the classic series.
Mega man 5 is generous with the 1ups =D.
Ryu saying this game has ok music. But Proto man castle is one of my favorite tunes and you get it for a few levels!
Did someone say there isn't gravity in space?! 😂🤣
"Big balls! That caught me off guard, dude!"
-Ryu, 2023
"Who is affected by gravity" then proceeds to ignore wave man 😂

yes!! these videos are why i subbed. plz keep them coming!!! more mega man!. and maybe the zero /ZX series??
wave man's theme is such an underrated banger
Love this - would love some Mega Maker even more!

To be fair though, one of the issues I find, looking back, is that the charged buster shot is almost ALWAYS more effective than the boss enemy's weaknesses.
I would guess that gravity would mess a gyroscope all up
1:12:39 Ryu completely mis-understands how this level works >_>;
I love that his instinct and reasoning for selecting boss weaknesses are spot on.

This is my favorite MM game
I really can't wait to get to the megaman 9-10 videos those are by far my favorites!
megaman 5 was the only platform mega man i completed
Lmao at the way over complicating of the level where you destroy the pillars. You're safe if you just go in order.
Favorite one in the NES hexalogy! I love charge and stone weapon and just love stoneman in general...Like if gutsman and 'the thing' had a baby.
Damn I need to go through and play all these again
My second favorite of the nes megaman
I struggle to believe he hasn’t played this before… entertaining but some parts were just made harder. Or he lucked out with the boss order. And NO use of the super arrow.

Love this game, cool levels
The little dude that gives you items is so nice. I wonder who he is.
Three 1-ups in one room is crazy.
That hat is awesome
Mega Man 6 is my personal favorite, for both soundtrack and gameplay!
So will it be Mega Man 6 now? Will you do the entire series of Mega Man games? Such a jump up in visual quality from 6 to 7 after it transitions to the SNES.
I remember when I was younger spending hours trying to beat wave man cuz of that long jet ski section
Definitely would love your career way of livin! Props up from Ont. CA
we think gravity is the byproduct from space-time bending due to the density of matter
First time playin 😂 love it all your vids bro! ✔️😊
Mega Man V has seen a resurgence lately.
This game has good soundtrack.
You just weren't paying attention.
Ive never seen someone hold a controller like that in my life. Have I been doing it wrong this entire time?
this game looks as fun as mega man X, but on the NES. cool to see how much more polished it is than 2
Gyroman is frequently misunderstood. It's actually pronounced "YEE-ro man" and his weapon is based on a Greek sandwich.
And his weapon is strong on Crystal Man who with a name like that probably doesn't eat for days
@@BenTobitt Jesse, we need to cook.
1:35-1:52 banger 🔥
Also Ryu play mega man and bass one day.

I am playing Megaman zx on my ds these days 😁
Keep on keep on like the cool gamers say! 🤟🏻
1:47:21 - MM3 best NES MM hands down

The gravity stage is like Metal Storm for the NES, super rad game but super hard, you should debunk the difficultyyyyy right after you debunk Yo! Noid
you should play megaman 8 . 8 bit version , is hard as hell
Ryu. Have you played UN Squadron? I think you would enjoy it if you like flight shooters. It’s one of the very best.
Try Xexyz
Great game
This was an awesome stream ❤love ya ryu😄
Those things in crystal man's stage are miserable. They don't have a pattern, and are completely random >_
46:00 wrong game.
ChillMan is in MegaMan 9
More than likely the composer is exactly the same, tends to happen a lot in Japan.
keep going till 10
lol the chat replay. 'this one has better level design than megaman 4.'
like... wut? lol. i'm surprised they didn't learn from 5 when designing 4. wtf...
Game looks good 👍
dude cab you debunk the difficult of NES title "BATTLE TOADS & DOUBLE DRAGON"? this game scared me but had sooo much fun
Gravity Man may be the easiest Mega Man boss of all time.
Toad Man says hi
😎
I'm just realizing you cut your beard!! Look sharp
Gravity does exist in space, just in small amounts. Whoever in chat said gravity isn't in space is wrong.
I remember when this game came out. I beat it in a week, given the fact that I wasn’t allowed to just play for hours when I was teen. Probably the easiest game in the series.
Got one recommendation for you if you haven't played it yet: Megaman V, GB/SGB version.
So glad you got all the MegamanV letters to get Beat... then not use him for shit. Great strat bro!
Not just beat, he rarely uses weapons in other megaman runs. I mean I get why he doesnt do that, he wants to try buster only, but the weapons add more flavor to the game and without them the game is kinda dull

Imagination only.
lets get ready too mega man, too bad no splash woman till mega man 9
I bet you would kick yourself to know you could have rode an arrow across the dropping crystals in the crystal man stage.
How come you haven't done Mega Man 6 yet? You said in the MM4 videothat you hadn't done 4-6 before then....
Any particular reason he never uses the other weapons he has? Like, ever?

dont forget about Donkey kong Country Water
megaman 6 when? =)
Anyone have a link to where can buy that NES MM controller?
Do Megaman battle network network transmission if you’re good
