Mega Man 4 - Part 3: Dueling With Dead Guys

[kirbymariomega]

Also, after beating Pharaoh Man.

YOU BEAT PHARAOH MAN

YOU GOT: SLAVES

[teeman9266]

Actually Pharoahman has sensitive eyes that can see well in the dark according to the wikia

im such a nerd

[GeminiLaser]

So I've heard! The sensitive eyes bit, not the you being a nerd bit. ;)

[aaron75fy]

I've played the first 4 but cannot remember for the life of me (stupidest, line, ever!) which I played on the nes before downloading it for the wii

I love your tag messages. XD

For my future LP of this game, do you think this is a good order?

Dust - Dive - Bright - Drill - Pharaoh - Skull - Toad - Ring

[GeminiLaser]

I always enjoy coming up with the tags. :)

The order you propose should be an interesting one! Seems to be a good balance of stages that are challenging but not dull without special weapons at the beginning, and the more common "first stages" toward the end when there are more goodies to play around with.

[kirbymariomega]

@GeminiLaser

Alright, thanks. :)

Now I just need to get around to recording. XD

[aaron75fy]

@kirbymariomega had to have a look but they're there, but now I need a needle and thread for the split sides

[IAREPLANTMAN]

What is with game designers and frogs shaking their booties and causing rain? There's frogs in Sonic Heroes that do the same thing!

[GeminiLaser]

There must be some sort of cultural/historical reason for it, unless MM4 was THAT inspirational...

[WoWfan924]

@GeminiLaser im very excited for ur MM7 run!^^ do u like freeze man in MM7? he is my favorite there, and skull man and freeze man has many things in common, for example both have catchy music, both can be tricky (esp freeze man), the boss chamber looks very similar (both have a dino skeleton in the background), did u also know that like skull man, freeze man DONT attack at start untill u do, but freeze man taunts u with his hand while standing xD u gotta mention that when u face him in MM7 ;)

[GeminiLaser]

I do like Freeze Man, and in large part because of the reasons you mention! And I'm super-excited for MM7 as well.

[GeminiLaser]

Not at all! Just a little friendly scolding.

[DreamWarrior316]

Skull man is one of my very favorite bosses as well!!!

[GeminiLaser]

You, sir or madam, have superb taste.

[megazero422]

@GeminiLaser lol Skullman's bad point is bad taste XD

[GeminiLaser]

Yeah, skeletons really aren't that appetizing.

[aaron75fy]

toad... man? since when did marvel start to design mega man bosses?

[MrMegaman927]

4 FULLY CHARGED MEGA BUSTER SHOT KILL SNAIL

[GeminiLaser]

Well, you *could* do it the boring way...

[scimpanze1000]

Pharaoh Man IS AWESOME

MM: NOW I'VE GOT YOUR POWER

PM: PAUWNCH

[protoman323]

toad man, he and sheep man from megaman 10 would make good friends.

[GeminiLaser]

You'd think so, right?

[CROSSTATT]

@billyroflcopter Why did they take Sphinx mini boss out?

[CROSSTATT]

When I was in second grade I remember my teacher telling me she didn't want me to talk about Mega Man b/c I did it too much.

[billyroflcopter]

@GeminiLaser You know there was supposed to be a Sphinx mini boss in PharaohMans stage, but they took it out during testing. Don't believe me? Look it up!

[GeminiLaser]

So I've heard! But they implement him in MMIV for Game Boy.

[AegisShieldBash]

Now Iiiiii've got your power!

[billyroflcopter]

At 5:38 you said penetrate.Hehehe, penetrate...

[IMMSKULLMAN]

What you said was a lie. You freakin hate me! D:

[GeminiLaser]

Buh? When?

[IMMSKULLMAN]

when...you killed me!

[GeminiLaser]

Ah...but, you got better! And then I killed you a second time. It's not personal, really.

[IMMSKULLMAN]

@GeminiLaser Oh. I think I understand now. :)

[Trueblade808]

wait wai wait......why has pharaoh a mega buster *or pharaoh buster, whatever* if he only threw his energy balls woth his hand?^^

[GeminiLaser]

Good question! You'll notice a few different bosses who have vestigial arm cannons, but in this case, you'll notice that he fires a charged up shot from his arm cannon around 1:21; you might need to pause to catch it.

[SuperMinorMiner]

1:52 what the hell is "Phaaaoh".......that was really funny XD

[MrCrazyToad]

I hope they make a third series of Retro Roto figures with Pharoah man, Skull man, or Drill man. They're my favorite Megaman 4 bosses.

[GeminiLaser]

I was never that fond of the Retro Roto style; I always preferred the more articulated Jazwares figures. But, Pharaoh, Skull, and Drill would be excellent additions if you like the style. I'm happy to have a Drill Man figure from the cartoon show... :D

[za909]

Pharaoh shot rapes the Snail miniboss.

If you slide towards it, the fireball over your head hits the eyes, then you can shoot him with the charged shot that is still held.

In total you need 1 more charged shot to defeat it after that

[GeorgVanHalen]

Mega Man 4-6 i sadly underrated and most people play Mega Man 1-3 for several years, play them maybe once or twice and then go "hey.. these suck". Why do they suck? I never heard a good case of why. Sure, all Mega Man games has their faults (just like you point out) but looking overall.. Mega Man 1-3 aren't more perfect than 4-6. I'm not sure of my favorite game and I enjoy them all.. I just think the nostalgic factor in 1-3 is too big on some people!

[GeminiLaser]

Aw, man--music to my ears! I think you're absolutely right that nostalgia plays a big part, specifically with 2-3 (I don't hear a lot of diehard fanboy love for MM1.

[SFCatgirlFanatic]

@GeminiLaser EXACTLY! Mega Man 1 probably doesn't get enough love since it seems like a test to me. You love MM4 the most, right? It's the same thing (That one is amazing, btw :3)

[GeminiLaser]

I do! MM4 is my all-time favorite.

[SFCatgirlFanatic]

@GeorgVanHalen I have the most love for MM3, since it was the first game I ever played (and beat, at 4 years old!). I'm going to love it more than any other one, but most folks do have the nostalgia goggles on. All Mega Man games, even 7, are good! :3

[GeminiLaser]

Yeah! We need more fans who think like that. :)

[Bowserslave]

8:43

looked like mega mans feet were in the ground O.O

[GeminiLaser]

Yeah, he does sink a little low there, doesn't he?

[Bowserslave]

@GeminiLaser

it looks the same also with pharaoh man o.o

thats odd

[BecauselCan]

Awesome videos dude. You give really decent tips for Mega Man games, and good reviews. Insta-Scribe!

[GeminiLaser]

Awesome, thanks!

[sharingan652]

will you do megaman and bass please?

[GeminiLaser]

Check out my profile. :)

[sharingan652]

@GeminiLaser thanks,its my second favorite megaman game besides,of course,megaman 5!!

[GeminiLaser]

Another great choice! :)

[sharingan652]

@GeminiLaser thanks,my favorite 3 characters are: protoman,bass, snakeman

[thekidcrew]

@GeminiLaser DO THE MEGA MAN X SERIES

[GeminiLaser]

Your command of caps lock is impressive, but it doesn't grant you the authority to make such demands. Check out my profile; I'll get there eventually...

[Bowserslave]

i wonder if toad man goes easy on us sometimes

i mean he has a screen clearing move if he could use it at will easier we'd all be screwed o.o

[GeminiLaser]

I think it requires serious concentration to wiggle those hips enough to shake down the sky.

[BertisWorldYT]

you can penetrate skullmans barrier with the ring shot too...

[GeminiLaser]

I was discussing this with someone else a little while ago...I don't think I ever considered that, if you can believe it!

[GeminiLaser]

Again to thee I say, "Ha!"

[EmInEmman666]

u can see a heart on skull man

[GeminiLaser]

Well, it's more like a crystal call thingy, but it does kinda resemble a heart.

[zuschzero]

I think the Pharaoh shot is the best choice againts the snail. Or the Flash stopper.

Also, I'm glad this is your favorite. Megaman 4 is my favorite as well. It's actually a masterpiece in almost every way, don't you think? O_O

[GeminiLaser]

Huh. I guess I rarely beat Pharaoh Man before Toad Man; I can't remember the last time I used Pharaoh Shot on the snail. Good idea.

Yay! Another MM4 fan! As far as I'm concerned, it's still the most perfect MM game yet; any issues I have are absolutely minor.

[randomman5]

@GeminiLaser I usually use Dust Crusher on the snail. Does decent damage, no charging, and, in my opinion, Dust Crusher doesn't get enough love. I also agree, MM4 is one of my favorite Mega Man games, along with 10.

[GeminiLaser]

That works well. Dust Crusher gets a lot of love on the fortress bosses, but you're right that it doesn't get used as much in general during the stages. Maybe the next time I play through, I'll hit Dust Man first and use his weapon a while.

[GeminiLaser]

Ha!

[DJzomba]

mmm...toad cake :D!!!!

its the only cake i can eat!!!

cossack is my chef...he keeps building toadmen for me to bake into cakes!!! :D

[GeminiLaser]

You're ridiculous. :)

[DJzomba]

@GeminiLaser at least ididnt make my puppy go down a bottemless pit!!!

doggy go down the hooole :D

[FabricaRhino]

Dive Man's level made me cry.

So did Pharaoh Man's.

[GeminiLaser]

Tears of...joy?

[FabricaRhino]

@GeminiLaser No, tears of frustration, thankfully I reached Cossack 1

[WRECKT0M]

skull man was my favorit too

[GeminiLaser]

Hey, a few more people and we'll inadvertently start a fan club!

[Luigifan33]

Actually, Toadman has an interesting AI. If you shoot him all the time, to do damage as fast as possible, he will jump around. I got killed like that once or twice.

[GeminiLaser]

Have you played the Game Gear Mega Man game? Toad Man goes INSANE. Hardest battle with him I've ever had.

[ilikepie21234]

First time I fought with Toad man he skydive on me at the start of the battle and because I had a little health left he killed me -_-;.

[GeminiLaser]

Aw, sad! I'll bet you kicked his butt the second time around, though. :)

[RayDiTutto66]

@GeminiLaser: 0:21: what was that voice from? It sounds familiar...

[GeminiLaser]

I was going for Professor Frink from The Simpsons.

[RayDiTutto66]

@GeminiLaser: Weird, my sister and I both thought it was Pee-Wee Herman for some reason. I never would have guessed Prof. Frink.

[GeminiLaser]

Pee Wee is a reasonable guess, I s'pose.

[uscdrew1]

I'm surprised there wasn't a "NOW I'VE GOT YOUR POWER!" line said after pharaoh man was defeated, even though you pulled the "Super Fighting Robot, Megaman!" thing in the first video.

[GeminiLaser]

Well, I've still got 8.6 bajillion Mega Man games left to play--best not to use up all my ammo so early on. ;)

[uscdrew1]

@GeminiLaser true, very true.

[christianp5674]

my Favorite adapter is the balloon its so handy

[GeminiLaser]

I still prefer the Wire Adaptor because it's so unique, but Balloon Adaptor is lots of fun.

[Phazonaddict]

I remember when I used to imitate Dr. Frink.

MY EYES (Flash Stopper after Pharaoh Man)

The fuck? That is a weird bug (Drill Bomb deflects off of Eddie pickups).

You taught me yet another thing I didn't know! (Flash Stopper negating defenses)

Like Power Stone, I disliked Skull Barrier until you showed some good use of it.

Finally... I liked that midair sliding on Toad Man's stage.

[GeminiLaser]

Well, there's a good reason my other Internet handle is Flashman85--can't resist an opportunity to light up the screen.

I love all of MM4's various quirks and little details, intentional or not.

[Phazonaddict]

@GeminiLaser Game glitches and quirks are an excellent addition to replay value.

[GeminiLaser]

Absolutely!

[psychoticpikachu101]

I also love the balloon adapter. It's like Item 1, only cooler, and more practical!

[GeminiLaser]

Right on!

[Darkspines22]

Hey geminilaser did you know they make a USB nes controller? I think it would make you feel right at home on your computer :D

[GeminiLaser]

I've got a USB adaptor for an SNES controller that works about 15% of the time, but I wasn't aware there was an actual USB NES controller--I might need to check that out!

[Darkspines22]

@GeminiLaser Yeah you can get one from ThinkGeek(.)com (delete the parenthesis) and they're awesome-I'm thinking about getting one myself :D

[KudosForce]

@GeminiLaser Well, that explains all those controller failure problems, in the previous videos.

[GeminiLaser]

Yes. Yes it does. Because there's no such thing as player error.  ;)

[KudosForce]

@GeminiLaser Now, now, there can be SOME degree of player error. After all, nobody is perfect. ;P

[rootay]

hahahaha! 0:25 "Boi!"

[seganinja84]

skull man is cool he was the only boss i could get too

[GeminiLaser]

He's definitely cool, and I think he might have been the first boss I ever actually got to, too.

[MMChaosVortex]

You are now officially one of my best (online) friends. You(r videos) are just so entertaining!

Also, why did you use Dust Crusher for Skull Man? I was expecting those Mega Buster skillz!

[MMChaosVortex]

@MMChaosVortex

Okay. Watched more of your videos. That comment about Skull Man? You know... the one? yeah, that one. Right there. Disregard that. >.>

[GeminiLaser]

Hah! No worries. Besides, Dust Crusher and Mega Buster are almost interchangeable with Skull Man because the firing pattern of both is the same, and you'll end up doing about the same amount of damage.

[GeminiLaser]

Right, and I just reread the first part of your first comment. Thank you! This whole "having friends on YouTube" think is awesome.

[IAMBLUERANGERELECTRO]

I did some research on Pharaoh Man and learned that he was built as an archaeological robot with very sensitive eyes, because he explores dark tombs. So in theory, Flash Stopper temporarily blinds him.

[GeminiLaser]

Now that is an excellent reason!

[n1g3ld34c0n]

"Snail of doom!" ...XD... *cue crowd laughing uproariously*

[Stardius]

Funny is that whenever I fight Toadman, he almost never does the wigly dance, but he is always just jumping around chaoticly xD

[GeminiLaser]

Yup! It all depends on how you fight him, because he reacts to how you're moving and shooting.

[za909]

lol "Pharaoh man is not a weapon"

XD

[McSpizzy]

Toad Man

Because Capcom got lazy

[GeminiLaser]

Y'know, I had to raise an eyebrow because Mega Man 10 is going to feature SHEEP MAN, but really, I guess Toad Man already beat them to the punch, so what am I complaining about?

[KudosForce]

Technically, Toad Man was a fan submission.

But hey, Capcom picks anything they want. I don't mind that, though, as I have a penchant for silly-looking RMs. ;)

[Ragitsu]

You're just so enthusiastic! Reminds me of when I used to be a kid.

[GeminiLaser]

That's 'cuz I'm still a kid. Well, more accurately, I refuse to be a total grown-up. :)

[Ragitsu]

Never lose it.

[GeminiLaser]

Thanks. :)

[Ragitsu]

A blast from the past!

[GeminiLaser]

Yeah, that's what happens when I check back through the comments and find things I missed!

[Ragitsu]

@GeminiLaser

How've you been, as of late?

[GeminiLaser]

I've been pretty fantastic, thank you! I've been juggling a lot more creative and geeky endeavors, so recording hasn't been as consistent as before, but all is well with the world. And I've got something majorly awesome to announce...check out my blog when it updates on Wednesday. :D

[GeminiLaser]

And, of course, the appropriate follow-up question is: How YOU doin'?

[srothroc]

The way you talk about the Skull Man stage and how great it is (nonstop) reminds me of the QVC stuff my mother used to watch all the time. How much for the stage? >.>

[GeminiLaser]

Well? Are ya gonna buy it or not? ;p
