Let's Play Super Mario Bros. Crossover While Explaining the Fan Art Situation - Part 1

[slyshadic]

:D?

[Brawlkings93]

@MrDevlance the person talking is my favourite artist and YouTube gamer ever. So would you please not call him that. Anyway! Thumbs up for roahms epic multitasking!

[MrDevlance]

Hey, can you repeat the word Gallery one more time, I think you didn't say it 1000 times in this video.....

[MrDevlance]

Who the fuck is the tard in the video that doesn't keep his mouth shut through the entire fucking video better die already!

[MrTheporter]

I downloaded the game and everything, but when i start the game, it wont let me move, i can only use the attack, but no controls?

[jerkface42]

There's a newer version of SMBC that includes Ryu from Ninja Gaiden and a few modifications, as follows - in the options menu, you can set Simon's jumps to allow some or total midair control; Samus starts suitless, and can crouch (which is also toggleable via options); There's a random button on the character select: and Megaman's jump height is shorter, but the Alt. Attack button summons Rush Coil. Some of the characters' stage music has been changed a bit, too. That's as much as I know so far.

[redbamba2]

shut up!!!!!!! goddd!!!

[nicolajulianna]

I love how you were explaining about the fanart during this video and you never died once! You breezed through this game like it was nothing, while multitasking by explaining something non related to the game like fanart. I'm very impressed! Hehe :-)

[Omegalore]

I used to go to Newgrounds, but I banned meself. Bad things happened on the computer. I have a name for it. The forbidden site.

[Falchion43]

have you heard about Sophia the 3rd (from blaster master) coming on to super Mario bros. crossover

[RoahmMythril]

Indeed yes, I'm looking forward to that.

[Falchion43]

@RoahmMythril it will be interesting to see the controls, still i prefer to play as samus

[huntingforyoualways]

u sound like luigi :P

[jordanliow]

I noticed this video has a a lot more views than almost any of your other videos.

What's up with that?

[RoahmMythril]

A good question, possibly a lot of fans of this game.

[Alcapwn4]

@RoahmMythril its a classic

[DriveInTake]

Have you played the New Version where you can play as Ryu?

It's so fun.

[RoahmMythril]

Indeed yes, he's fun.

[FabricaRhino]

@RoahmMythril Do you think Mega Man was nerfed(downgraded) in the new version due to his his jumping and constantly spawning rush coil?

[RoahmMythril]

Yes, he pretty much was nerfed.

[azzykid1]

Everyone uses megaman :p

[RoahmMythril]

Well, that is what my channel is probably most known for is my playing Mega Man games, that's the main reason I used him. I also really enjoy Simon, Samus, and Ryu, though this was recorded before there were character changes and before Ryu was added.

[azzykid1]

@RoahmMythril ah k

[dailyblabbity]

@azzykid1 megaman and ryu 4 lyfe

[xelihope]

"Fame is a bee.

It has a song--

It has a sting--

Ah, too, it has a wing."

Enjoy your videogamey fame while you can, dragon.

And no one had friends in high school. I think that's just life's main course around that age. :-(

[sixinthehood]

Hmmmm, I am now interested in you and your videos being that you have a british accent (always a plus), you say you do game videos, and you have many fans. I will check channel now and you will probably recieve a subscripition :)

[RoahmMythril]

Haha, well thank you ;) I hope you enjoy my work ;) Though my accent is actually a weird combo from having grown up around elder Scottish relatives while living in Southeast Texas ;)

[sixinthehood]

@RoahmMythril Scotish? SWEET! I want to artificialy creat an irish accent for myself.... hasen't worked out so well :*(

[ALEN4789]

lol its fun to see you speedrunning your a pro!! :D

[30stu30]

Simon Belmont is the best

[RoahmMythril]

It's a flash game on Newgrounds, check the video info for a link.

[felolis]

i found a warp zone that got me to world 5

[EvilMariobot]

Now that v1.1 is out; have you considered doing a full Let's Play of this game; all levels, no warping?

[RoahmMythril]

Maybe sometime in the future, though for now I'm fairly busy with plenty of projects on my plate X)

[vortigaunt25]

Hey, Roahm! Have you played version 1.1 yet? The characters have been improved on, and they added Ryu!

[RoahmMythril]

Yes, I have indeed played it. Ryu takes some getting used to, as does Mega Man now that he can't jump as high without Rush Coil.

[vortigaunt25]

@RoahmMythril Yeah, that does suck a bit...But Mega Man's still the second best character in my opinion, since his Mega Buster does a nice job of taking out enemies at base strength. And the platforming's a bit easier once you get used to Ryu, since he automatically catches onto walls, making it difficult to fall down some pits without deliberately steering away.

[Flash3713]

@ville1236 Megaman was the only one I was good at when playing this... D=

[jjtheawsome918]

holy hell hidin mushroom o.O

[ville1236]

mega man sucks;/

[RoahmMythril]

To each their own.

[bobbob5471]

how r search engines friends?

[RoahmMythril]

Because they're easy to use to find what you're after.

[bobbob5471]

what website do you get megaman 4.5 real operation rom?

[RoahmMythril]

I make it a point to never link to rom sites. Search engines are your friends.

[ALEN4789]

i suck at mario i mean i beat all levels and shit but i have a curse on level 2 i have never beat that level weird huh when i come to level 2 i most always ask a friend or my dad to beat that level i have a real curse on level 2

[bluewoodstables]

@RoahmMythril Same Thin With The friend thing here. and im still in jr. high. :(

[bobbob5471]

oh well ok anyway which websites do you go toget your megaman battle network games

[RoahmMythril]

I make it a point not to link to rom sites. Search engines are your friends.

[bobbob5471]

who removed my comment?:(

[RoahmMythril]

Are you sure you didn't by accident? I think the only ways it would have been removed would have been if either you or I did so by accident, I don't think other users can do so. The only time I remove comments on purpose is if they are blatantly trolling or needlessly vulgar.

[bobbob5471]

when do you think you will finish your megaman navi demos

[RoahmMythril]

Like I've said, I have no idea when vids will be done. It's going to be awhile before I do the MMBN2 chip demos. I need a break from MMBN, and I'd like to work on some other projects.

[bobbob5471]

do you have any other projects that u might want to do ?

[RoahmMythril]

I have a projects list on my site, showing things I've done, things I plan to do, and things I'm considering. I also have an area on my new forums over on Pink's site where people have been suggesting games.

[bobbob5471]

which project do you really want to finish first and which one of your projects are more intersting to you

[RoahmMythril]

Well, my next few projects will be a 2000 subs special, then MM10 Perfect Runs, then Secret of Mana, and then probably Silent Hill 2. As for which of my projects are more interesting, I've enjoyed doing them all, so I suppose it's up to the individual viewer what is most interesting.

[NiceHotCupOfBro]

Okay. Let's see who paid more attention to the gameplay than to Roahm talking about his fanart dilemma.

/me raises a hand.

[bobbob5471]

have you ever tried doing any pokemon videos

[RoahmMythril]

Well, like I said, I did do the collaborative vid with Shagg, where we both went through Ecruteak Gym at the same time. I may do a Pokemon LP in the future, but for now I have several other projects lined up, and that LP would potentially be part of a group LP with another group, and I'm not sure what the status of that is currently.

[bobbob5471]

ok thanks any way how come you wanted to talk to me?

[RoahmMythril]

Er..... you posted on my video? I didn't really understand just the "hey," didn't know if there was anything else you were trying to say there.

[bobbob5471]

ok thanks have you made any pokemon videos?

[RoahmMythril]

The closest I've done to that was a co-op video with Shagg, trying and failing at using Skype, during his LP of Pokemon Gold. I accompanied him through the Ecruteak Gym.

[bobbob5471]

so which kind of other videos are you planning to do and how do you create those videos

[RoahmMythril]

I have a list of planned and possible future projects on my site. As for how I make the vids, I talk about that in my FAQs vid on the main channel page.

[bobbob5471]

so which megaman battle network games have you done navi demos or chip demos

[RoahmMythril]

I've only done them for MMBN1 so far, that's the only one I finished my LP for. I'm almost done with the MMBN2 LP, but the demos are doing to wait away, I need a bit of a break from MMBN to work on other projects, and there's a lot of off-camera work I'm going to need to do to get everything I'll need together.

[bobbob5471]

ok thanks any way why did you decide to make those videos

[RoahmMythril]

I just thought it would be an interesting idea, informative for viewers, and also it gave me an excuse to use a bunch of chips I'd never tried using before.

[paranormalscholar13]

Dude, you've gained a huge fanbase because you're pretty freakin' awesome.

[RoahmMythril]

Haha, well, thank you for that ;) It's like I said, I'm just not used to it, it's a good thing, I just never thought it would happen X)

[bobbob5471]

hi your videos are cool can you make a video of demo navi chips for megaman battle network 6

[RoahmMythril]

I will eventually, yes, but I haven't even LPed 6 yet, that will be pretty far in the future.

[bobbob5471]

hey



[RoahmMythril]

Um..... hi? ^_^;

[rstada8]

Wow Roahm. Even when you're not doing a perfect run, you still don't break your "no charge" rule. You, are just awesome!

[RoahmMythril]

To be honest, that wasn't really a self-imposed rule, I think by now I'm just more used to rapid fire button mashing XD

[Showmetotheexit]

If I have learned anything from the hit web comic MegaTokyo, with popularity, comes much more responsibility.

[RoahmMythril]

This is true, I've only been at this a little over a year and certainly don't have all the answers. I'm still learning as I go ;)

[Raditz86]

Well i guess it's a good problem to have Xd. Well I think your compramise is reasonible. Also I sent you something I hope you like it ^^;

[RoahmMythril]

Indeed, as they say, these are the kinds of problems you want to have, in no way am I upset with fans or anything of the like. I just really needed to find a compromise to make things more workable, I mean, it's been awhile since I've been able to work on any gaming vids.

[ZeroJanitor]

I wish I could play this, but my keyboard's arrow keys are busted.

But watching you play is just as satisfying, if not more.

[RoahmMythril]

Ah, sorry to hear your arrow keys are out. However I think you can customize controls on the game, so maybe you could map the directions to other keys?

[ZeroJanitor]

@RoahmMythril Oh, yeah, completely forgot about that. |D

[colepepper83]

this is amazing where can i get this game? i really enjoy the music they put in it, oh thanks for the cd locations for m. and b. game

[RoahmMythril]

There's a link to the game in the video description, and glad to have helped ;)

[zabeon]

this looks too fun. i have to play it. thank you for the link

[RoahmMythril]

No problem, enjoy the game ;)

[Prod1gyX2009]

it's over 9000!!!!!

[RoahmMythril]

Yes, there's a link to it in the video descriptions.

[SnakemanMn]

You could always try having someone manage all the fanarts and such in videos. It can work for all that way, and you can have more of your time for videos and your life.

[RoahmMythril]

The thing is, I don't really know anyone I could do that with. I can't pay anyone to do it for me, and since part of the draw of those videos was my giving commentary on it, I don't really know of any way to pass that part of it on to someone else.

[SnakemanMn]

@RoahmMythril Perhaps write the commentary on it when you have the time, and the person doing so can narrate it. If you don't have anybody at all, I could vouch. I'm practically retired as an LPer and don't have anything else to do with my channel anyways.

[RoahmMythril]

Well, I mean, putting it somewhere and writing down commentary on them, that's pretty much what the gallery updates will be anyway. So essentially uploading the fan art to both my site and someone making videos out of them, and writing commentary for them in both places still doubles the work on my end, as well as the strain on my bandwidth as I'd have to upload everything twice. I think just going with the gallery updates will be fine and easily manageable.

[ilikepie21234]

1. godly gameing as always

2. You're quite a rare breed. Most people see a pitcher or a comic and think " Oh that's cool." and go the other way but you see the pitcher being done step by step and seen all the time as been poot into it. Not only that thou you truly care about every peace of art that you get witch is quite nice ^^.

3. So that you might have even more free time, try uploding a "Post Art" option of some kind on your art web site. That'll save alot of time!

[RoahmMythril]

1. Thank you very much ;)

2. Well, as an artist myself, I appreciate the work of others, I know the sort of thing that goes into trying to come up with an idea.

3. I'm not really sure how I'd do that right off admittedly. Once I get through this major stockpile of fan art, doing a weekly update on Friday nights since I'm up anyway shouldn't be so bad ;)

[MutantYoshi]

You sure like your sliding.

[RoahmMythril]

Mainly I was just trying to get through as quickly as possible, and Mega Man's default speed is fairly slow ;)

[thebearmancometh]

Sweet!

[RoahmMythril]

This was quite a fun game, I greatly enjoyed playing through it ;)

[thebearmancometh]

@RoahmMythril Did you play it with any of the other character?

[RoahmMythril]

Indeed, I've tried all the characters, I like all the different play mechanics. From my understanding, he's making updates to the game, adding new characters. I saw a video showing gameplay with Ryu from Ninja Gaiden.

[SagaciousSilence]

I agree with what DukManAlpha said about how amazing your channel is. You offer intelligent, entertaining commentary and we, the viewers, can see just how much work and effort you put into your channel and for this we are truly in awe. The fact that you have 2000 subs is ideal because while you do deserve many, many more subscribers, we, your current viewers, love how interactive you are with your fans. But we do know that your popularity will grow, so feel free to do whatever is best for you!

[RoahmMythril]

Thank you, I appreciate the words of encouragement ;)

[RenzokukenLionheart]

i was gonna send you a link to this the other day, lol

[RoahmMythril]

Haha, quite a few people actually sent me a link to this game, quite a fun one ;)

[RoahmMythril]

I think it actually IS supposed to be Fire Man's Fire Storm, just without the shield effect. I believe it makes the same sound as that particular attack.

[DukManAlpha]

Why do we send so much fan art? Because you are probably the most entertaining, coolest Lper I know, and I'm glad you have only 2000 subs. Because if you had more, like Chuggaconroy, your comment boxes maybe become overflowed with questions! So i'm glad that you are underated, so that you can actually reply to all your 2000 fans.

Now let me give you a shinie for good luck!

[RoahmMythril]

Haha, well thank you for the good luck shiny and the words of encouragement ;)

[Jorgiepoo312]

@supersuperguy111 oil man?

[MartenFerret]

At the risk of sounding presumptuous and unpopular (as if I reflect popularity lol), I think SOME *highlights 'SOME', in all caps, underlines, and Can I get some neon gas over here?!* Some artists are using you to gain notoriety for themselves. They know lots of users see your videos, consequently their artwork. So, for SOME, it's self-serving, and I for one am glad the art is going straight to your gallery (watch - you'll receive less of it as a result).

[RoahmMythril]

There is always that possibility. I suppose if that happens, it happens.

[KevROB948the2nd]

Ah I understand, Roahm. Also, Super Mario Crossover is awesome!

[RoahmMythril]

Indeed, it's quite a fun game ;)

[LaZodiac]

I think the main reason you got so many fans is because you're just..well, so good at what you do. That and the Megaman Network namedropped you and linked to your "Revenge Againest Brightman" video, which is how I found you at any rate.

Also, as stressfull it may be to have so many fans, I wish I had atlest half the number you had XP

[RoahmMythril]

I certainly have nothing against having so many viewers and fans, after all, that's what I'm here to do is to entertain, so I'm glad it seems I manage to do so ;) I'm just working out a balance as best I can to where I can still have some time to myself to work on my own projects or play games just for fun so I don't get burned out making vids ;)

[benjamin656564]

now its mega mario o.o

[RoahmMythril]

Indeed ;) It's interesting playing Mario with the gaming mechanics of the other characters.

[skawt24]

I just seen this game on the angry joe show...

[RoahmMythril]

Can't say I've heard of that, I had a few people tell me about the game, that's how I found it.

[Dstorm20xx]

If you ever feel over wellmed, just ask us to stop for a bit.

[RoahmMythril]

Well, I'm thankful to my viewers and don't want to be rude or anything, I'm still learning things as I go along really ;) I've only been at this for a little over a year, I definitely don't have all the answers yet.

[ve731]

catchy title :D

i think i saw that game on newgrounds once :P it's fun! :)

[RoahmMythril]

Indeed, it's quite a fun game, I had a few people tell me about it, and I'm glad they did ;)

[ajbxny]

How about.... just post a "Hey I've updated the Fan Art Page - you can visit it at {insert URL here} now!" type advertisement at the end of particular videos?

[RoahmMythril]

Well, once I get into the swing of things, I'll be updating the gallery every Friday night, so it will be a regular time each week.

[BlazeCyndaquil]

This was a great game Roahm. Good job.

[RoahmMythril]

Thank you ;)

[toadkirby12]

megaman kicks butt

[RoahmMythril]

Indeed, this is pretty much the case X)

[dragonbug69]

and for the ones that asked wheres the rest of the art they sent, they should just be grateful that your saying thank you to them. but hey thats just my opinion XD

[RoahmMythril]

Haha, well, I try my best to handle things well, so I'm glad to know my viewers are understanding on these matters ^_^;

[dragonbug69]

Roahm your doing a great job in dealing with the new found fame. I too had maybe a handful of friends in school and thats cause its easy to just judge people when your in high school and so on. You fall into a click or cliche when your in school lol. As far as the fan art, i dont think everyone that sends you stuff expects it to get showcased so you dont have to stress so much on getting EVERYONE recognized. I think everyone here will agree your just awesome and keep up the good work..

[JasperCorp]

AH...sorry i got carryed away with the vid that game is so awsome i had to watch again to lisen to wat u were sayin lol

[RoahmMythril]

Haha, it is indeed a fun game, I quite enjoyed playing it ;)

[IAMDARKWOMAN]

sweet. I figured you'd end up playing this. My favorite is Samus. and good luck with the fan art situation.

[RoahmMythril]

Indeed, Samus is quite fun to use as well, they did a good job of translating the various characters' play mechanics.

[ablon08]

hrm. would you mind if I submitted some megaman battle network "art", it's not art, since I hack it into the game, but there are moments where I just burst out laughing due to the insanity of it all.

you don't even have to put it up, if you don't want.

[RoahmMythril]

Sure, I'd be interested in seeing it.
