Man gotta love that the commentators have encyclopedic knowledge of this game.
Sinsiter1 and Cyghfer both run the game and Cyghfer used to have the WR in the zips category. These two were a great commentary choice for this run!
I know, right?
Coolkid’s little smile throughout the run makes me so happy. The couch guys did a great job commentating for him since it was clear he was a bit nervous. And rightly so, just look at how tight the run is!
Yep. Both Cyghfer and Sinister1 are long time veterans of the GDQ events. They know how to effectively convey the info the viewers need without stepping all over the feet of the runner.
I think he was just struggling with the auditory feedback
@@SplozyI know for a fact it would mess ME up. I play like poo if someone's even watching me play, I can't imagine having multiple people explaining everything you're doing AS you're doing it. I wouldn't be able to focus
According to the Mega Man RTA leaderboards, this run was only 28 seconds off his WR. Awesome GG
and was better than the 5th best player's PB. Fantastic job.
The thing is: he made very few almost irrelevant mistakes, and still 28 is a lot of time ...makes me think how perfect World Redord is.
I'm seriously impressed with how calmly coolkid runs through this. He makes it look easy
that waterfall destroying the bit rate
That was an excellent run, but noticing how close it was to estimate just shows how confident he was. I love that he gave himself so little time for error.
He came extremely close to the laser during the early part of Quickman stage. Those sections gave me bad anxiety as a kid.
Such a fun game
Remember using metal blade for like everything as a casual player (besides bosses)
Also mind-blown at how well he took down the stupid fucking Crash Bomb Turret boss
While its an annoying boss for sure, I gotta say, it has to be one of the best designed bosses in any game. The fact that you can either destroy all walls, die, charge up crash bombs and then kill the boss, or have super precise placements to defeat the boss in one go is unlike any other boss Ive ever seen in a video game.
Truly he is. . .a cool kid. :)
You can sense the humility and respect from these gentlemen. Amazing run and commentary!
I love the vibe of this run and commentary
Nice run and commentating :) brings back alot of memories seeing this game
Well, he CAN beat Airman
EA-MAN GA TANOSAI YO-

Incredible he had this good of a run in front of a crowd.
You'd think he would go for the safe strats for a GDQ run. He's so sharp and confident in his skills. What a run.
3:11 What the heck? Why man in the background disappeared?
Wtf.. this is still unanswered... someone please!
He ducked behind the couch.
Wait what the heck
Im pretty sure is fine, don't worry about it.
Clipped thru the floor
I've beaten MM2 twice: once on the Famicom as a kid and the other on the PS3 port. and tbh, it's just now that I found out that Quick Man's boomerang is Metal Man's weakness
But who does Quick before Metal? Honestly?
@@chaoskiller6084 I usually roll dice for my Megaman playthroughs, but then again I'm not a speedrunner.
Most people just fight Metal Man first, 'cause the Metal Blades are pretty strong, can be aimed in eight directions and have an obscene amount of weapon energy.
Fun fact: Flashman actually takes as much damage from the Crash Bomber as he does the Metal Blade - making it his weakness in a proper weakness order.
@@randomguy-tg7ok But Crash Bombs are his main weakness
Bubbleman stage always messes up with the cameras lol.
I wish I could be like The Cool Kid.
Great run CK. Great commentary as always from S1. Really good to see you back Cygpher.
Excellent run, love the megaman block each GDQ. Looking forward to the next run!
19:30
I like this song
Very good run and great couch commentary.
the first stage has me glued to my seat! this is amazing
Estos Jugadores Son Verdaderos Dioses De Los Juegos, Mis Respetos
Great run and great commentary. Thank you
You’re a legend CK!
really great commentary here.
This was my first Megaman as a kid and I played it to death! Killed Bubbleman like that by accident and thought it was so cool! Hell made it to Heatman because I refused to give up on learning that bullshit jump stuff and he was my first boss. I failed to kill him though but so many hours waisted learning the jumps. Such memories with this game. Damn! My first time at the Wily Castle my mom made us turn it off to attend church! Just.. man! That kills me still!
Cool Kid Saves the Frames.
There, I said it.
Knowing just how hard to press that jump button to avoid those spikes on BubbleMan's stage.....impressive.
So nice, I just watched it twice
Speaking as someone who used to routinely beat this on hard mode in one life, this run is completely awesome. Amazing job.
The B button is broken after this.
So weird to see a zipless run. I got confused when I saw Airman first
I'm still not clear when a zipless run is.
Same, i thought there had been a Route change i didn't know about :D
@@bbarrett726 zips are kind of "out of bounds" when you enter the ceiling or wall and get transported
@@bbarrett726 seems i'm a week late, but if you haven't heard of it yet, Zipping is basically getting Megaman pushed up into the enviroment, like the ceiling, and have the game zoom you past areas etc. Usually using item 1 i think. It's more of a glitchy run then a straight run like this.
@@bbarrett726 A zipless run is a run without the zip glitch. Which is a glitch that can save minutes. Though some setups can be really hard.
Fantastic run!
One does not simply skip the opening of Mega Man 2 ...
Best retro game. Best speedrun of this game.
what an impressive run!!!
thank you cool kid, very cool
I did NOT know about that time freeze trick for the dogs on woodman's stage. Oooh the frustration it would have saved me in my youth. haha
Quickman refight was peeerfect!
You don't even need to freeze them. You can kill 2 of them out of their range with Metal Blade. The first from the ladder and the third from the start of the screen.
damn this is so sick to watch !! great run !!
That was an amazing run. Nicely done!
Entertaining run, great announcement.
He's so good at this game, I'd say he's achieved mashtery
Nobody:
Coolkid: >Starts with Air Man
Whaa? I always start with Air Man.
Gotta love coolkid :D
I thought he was going to die at the end of the Bubble Man stage.
Very interesting to see where you can save time here and there. This "coolkid" is good. Real good.
good run and commentating!
hopefully we'll be able to see GDQ with a live audience next year
He CAN defeat air man
What is it with the can't defeat airman meme?
Megaman 2.
The best game in the series, nuff said.
Have you actually played any of the other games or are you just saying that because everyone says that? Mega Man 2 is a good game and all of that but there’s nothing really special to it compared to the other games. Mega Man 4 is an objectively much better game and like... the Boobeam trap and alien are badly designed bosses due to you needing certain weapons to even kill them.
my favorite mega man and the songs are awesome
The practice this took..wow
Love it I want to go to this
Awesome run CK!
soundtrack is so good on this game
Very nice bubble fight, excellent.
I don't know much about speedrunning but I know this game and less than 30 minutes is a really good time. Cheers.
25:46 wtf! that was awesome!
Pausing resets your falling speed, allowing it to happen, just fyi
Mesmerising
I feel bad for all the bosses getting owned so fast. ;) Great run!
Very impressive
I was shitting stones when he died from de spikes at Bubble man's stage
I just like seeing someone beating this game. I couldn't for the life of me when I was 9 years old playing in my basement.
I definitely remember beating this when I was a kid, but I have no fucking idea how. I guess lots of time, practice, and sugar gave me reflexes I no longer have
Dude, I played this game for fun, 20 years ago. You guys make this game sound like it's a form of an Algebra science..
Great run! I played that game on an emulator with save states and it took me hours of joy to finish. To see it destroyed in style is a delight.
Bubble Man's waterfall turning any stream into a Missingno mess will never not be funny to me
Buster only Quick Man is such a cool stunt :P
EDIT: also Cyghfer and Sinister1 is absolutely awesome choice for couch. They're veterans in the MM2 scene and their commentary is legendary.
Yeah. That boss is really cheap.
15:12 that was very nice >:]
That bubble man tho
He is such a cool kid
This was my favorite game as a kid
My childhood
Interesting. When he enters Heat Man's stage after the double KO in Bubble Man, Mega Man is still playing out his "throw blade" animation, only in his default blue colors. (Blink and you'll miss it).
I wouldn't figure that Mega's last state would still be stored like that.
9:36
Does anybody else go through phases where you watch speedruns for like 2 weeks straight? Just me? Ok.
I wish I could speedrun Rockman 2, But I can't beat Airman!
i had this game as a kid and I think i could beat it in like 2 hours. I thought I was pretty good. And then internet happens and you see pros finishing it...
Beating MM2 in 2 hours is still really solid for a casual runner. That's nothing to be ashamed of at all. Keep practicing and you could absolutely make the leaderboard.
Fastest pickle placement
been a fan since hl21
I wish that i could be like the cool kid.😢
9:00 Sick, bro. Sick! xD
Nice [ :
very nice lmao >:]
>:] nice
@@lagartijamuerta so nice indeed :>
>:] Nice
My face at 9:03 ◉_◉
Nice birds. >:]
Impressive
I’ve always seen players start with flashman. Is there a reason for the different order?
Oh it’s because it’s zipless
@ 26:10 can someone explain to me why I can only sometimes see the item one in the video.
Beautiful run. Question: He mentioned that the JP version 'saves a ton of time in the cutscenes'. How much? I'd like to compare to my PB, but I play on the US version.
The Japanese cutscenes use less text, so it takes less time for the game to print all the text out.
It's approximately 8 seconds faster for cutscenes after Flash Heat and Air man stages because of the items and 4 seconds faster at the end of the other robot master levels.
Nice >:]
Mega rad.
Is turbo - button firing allowed in this category? Or is that not allowed?
In all NES categories only unmodified stock type controllers are allowed. No turbo, autofire, or L+R/U+D allowed.
You can mash like that by vibrating your hand while slightly gravitating to the button. The explanation might be vague, but you can look it up.
And that music... Omg.
I think Mega Man 2 is the first game i got through.. And in one week...
I just found out you can aim leaf shield upwards.
Wait a second. Is he that same coolkid who did half-life speedrun with quadrazid?
nice. >:]
Where are these donations coming from? Wow
Why Quick second and not use weakness?
I just beat Mega Man 2 last week. Watching this is incredible, good job!
Ninth comment!
took me a month as a kid on the NES to get through it. The speedruns are blowing my mind for over a decade now.
hey me too! and it's one of those games that was instantly a favourite of mine.
