Mega Man No Damage Runs 5: Bright Man

Bright Man was the worst thing about his stage. In the past, I could navigate his stage without taking damage but would get routinely fucked by his Flash Stopper. Recently, however, I've found out that he only uses his Flash Stopper at specific increments in his health bar. To circumvent this, I hit him once with an uncharged Mega Buster shot before switching to the Rain Flush and letting Toad Man's legacy do all of the work. From then, it's all about avoiding Bright Man's shots which can be annoying- a lot of my runs were aborted by stray shots- but ultimately, it's far easier than it used to be with him using his weapon. With the Rain Flush you're still vulnerable though as Mega Man stands still when firing it, so you have to know instinctively when to use it.
For posterity, I recorded Pharaoh Man before Bright Man. This is the last no damage run I prerecorded, so it'll probably be a while until my next one.

So wait... you can only beat him in a no damage run if he just doesn’t use bright flash? So you basically just have to get lucky?

True Blue he uses his flash stopper after he gets damaged 12, 20 and 24 points. Bypass those points and he is cake
