[EdgarSam666]

explicit video... good!

[jazzydannymc]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!! This makes finding those CDs so much easier!!!

[mttloebach]

What is the intro song?

[mariofan96]

Air man likes surfing because his big propeller can make big waves from the water.

[hikarinoryu]

I can only assume Airman loves his Windsurfing rather than normal surfing. Still strange, though.

[Incathelizard]

Gutsman and splash woman have the same like: Karaoke

(splash woman is in the robot master field guide)

[Masterhuffnpuff]

Ok I have to ask,

Is bombman shitting out that bomb because it doesn't look like he's carrying it

[totodiletrainer001]

what is the name of the opening song?

[beedolphin1]

FORTE! you made me a happy dolphin ^_^

[spirit2fusion]

Why play the GBA version? There's a translated rom of the Japanese version in English! A million times better. Just saying... the English SNES rom is out there.

[NightSprinter]

Anyone else notice the life energy capsules now look just like they do from the OVA "Mega Man - Wish Upon a Star"?

[masterminded78]

Why is bomb man flipping me off?

[kingdomcome3914]

I got Roll's disc with Mega Man. Very tricky timing needed to make sure Mega Boy makes it to the top.

[drewhedgehog1]

rush maybe wasnt in the NES megaman 2 but he WAS in megaman 2 for GBA and so was metal man xD

[FiniteZeroStudios]

I think I could explain Air Man's like of surfing: it's wind surfing! (Although, I personally prefer the original mental image...)

[BigBossMan538]

@RoahmMythril How well does the GBA version fair to the SNES version? Do you reccomend it and is it hard to find the GBA cartridge?

[RoahmMythril]

I don't actually know how hard the GBA cart is to find, but I would say the Super Famicom version is better. Of course, it only was released in Japan. The problem with the GBA version is it cuts off part of the screen due to the different screen sizes. This can occasionally be troublesome.

[IceFireBlast]

Its a good thing there isn't a rubber man because then then would be too many innuendos involved.

[masterminded78]

5:07

UGH GOD!!!

DO THIS INSTEAD: 8o

[TARINunit9]

..."I'll fire you!"? What the hell?

[JCSStudios1264]

I wonder what it would say for Oil and Time Man.

[pieceofpiesoftware]

I love how they've made all this new artwork for all the old familiar robot masters, it's awesome to see them in an updated look.

[RoahmMythril]

Indeed, I kind of wish someone really good with sprites would make such images for all the Robot Masters that don't have them, like the ones from 9 and 10.

[FabricaRhino]

What are your 5 favorite database CDs in this game (for humour or interesting trivia etc)

[RoahmMythril]

Mega Water S's is great for the sheer weirdness. I also like Dynamo Man's for his quote, it brings up his lonely personality, which is interesting. Top Man's makes me laugh since it references the song I used for that Perfect Run vid. Crystal Man's is interesting since it answers the question of how Wily gets money. And I like Dr. Light's since it seemingly references Battle Network.

[Jimaera]

@RoahmMythril First of all, thanks for posting these. I've been trying to collect the last 11 CDs I'm missing and you've been a tremendous help.

Second, since you addressed it in your comments during the vid, I should point out that the descriptions of the robots in the Database were very poorly translated and in some cases completely changed from the Japanese version to the NA GBA release. I'm playing the Super Famicom version, so I'll shed some light on the inconsistencies for ya.

[Jimaera]

First off, with Fireman's good and bad points being basically the same... in the Japanese version his good point is listed as「じょうねつてき」"jyounetsu-teki," which means "passionate." His bad point is listed as「おこりっぽい」"okorippoi," which means "irritable/quick-tempered."

As for Metal Man, his bad point in the JP version is listed as「かなりのキレもの」"kanari no kire mono," which was definitely mistranslated into English; it actually means "He's a sharp object." XD I guess I wouldn't wanna give him a hug, heh.

[HunterTiger2100]

Air Man loves surfing? This robot is not equipped for surfing. What if the waves wash him off the board?

[dorourke105]

You think windy talk could be like he doesn't like people being windbags maybe?

[drmario520]

8:00 Technicaly we have STRIKE MAN...who throws rubber balls at sheep man

[TheGroup67]

Cut Man's dislike of Rocks could also be interpreted as his dislike of 'Rock'man.

[FabricaRhino]

Which version of MM&B do you normally play, no recording or perfect running, just playing for fun?

[RoahmMythril]

The SNES version. The GBA one has too many problems due to the smaller screen size.

[DriveInTake]

Windy talk I believe means to talk a lot..

Yet he has no mouth.

[MYNAMEISELECMAN]

8:01 Thank god.

[potatogy]

dr light seems more mad than upset

[potatogy]

dr light seems like mad more than upset

[jm42fun]

Hmm mega man reminds me of Another Blue And cool hero....

[vyse19861]

That picture of Bomb Man looks incredibly suggestive o_O

[Lycanthrokeith]

6:22 - As for Bomb Man not liking fire, there are a lot of explosives (like C-4) that are electrically detonated. Just a thought (yes, I know he's using the old cartoony-style big black bombs with wicks, but...hey, I'm trying.)

[RoahmMythril]

Well, also, Bomb Man's weakness in the original game was indeed Fire Storm. It changed to Rolling Cutter in Powered Up, I believe.

[Jimaera]

@RoahmMythril Finally, as far as Air Man's "Like," it was totally changed, probably because nobody in America would know what it is. The Japanese version lists it as "Menko," which is a Japanese card game similar to Pog in America where players try to flip opponents' cards using (wouldn't you know it) a gust of wind generated by slamming their own card or pog down on the table.

[Jimaera]

@RoahmMythril The last thing that jumps out at me is that Mega Man's entry is somewhat different in Japanese. It lists his Dislike as "Things that disturb peace;" the only reason I can think of for the change would be censorship, as sometimes happens during JP-to-NA translations, but I fail to see what's so bad about the original line...

[MrMK109]

I think they were refensing Item-2 with AirMan

[EvilMariobot]

001-Mega Man: "I'll Protect the world!" Mega Man X: "Why must I fight?"

002- Roll herself could be seen as stereotypical; a female robot built for hosekeeping.

006- Bomb Man must really hate Heat Man

010- He must like wind surfing.

[onda30]

Hey thanks for where located the cd my database is completed Thanks.

[Ixthraxus]

Hm. When I read it I figured the "Dislikes rocks" thing for Cutman was a reference to Megaman's Japanese name, given that Megaman beat him up.

[kamakazikid7]

Sparkles! Pretty sparkles! Shiny, shiny sparkles!

(Though I already got all of the CDs before seeing this, I must say that this video series is very entertaining and useful. Alot of effort must've been put into this, and it shows. Plus, you have an awesome voice. Great stuff, man)

[RedDragon1444]

Hm, well I do have a DS. Since it's a GBA game, I should be able to play it with that. I'll take a look around and see if I can buy it some place.

[RedDragon1444]

Man. I really need to find a way to play this game. I really do :(

[RoahmMythril]

Well, it's available for two systems.  Depending on if you use emulators, it's pretty easy to find. There's a largely translated version of the original Japanese for the SNES, and also the fully English version for the GBA.

[geekgo4]

Maybe AirMan airboards, Eureka Seven style?

Thank God Roll got some backbone in MegaMan Powered Up for PSP... and a bossy attitude.

[DullBones]

You know, Shade Man and Splash Woman ALSO have a interest in karaoke.

[RoahmMythril]

Clearly they should get together and form the best robotic singing group ever.

[GandWatch]

a band? heck yeah! sparkman as the batterist, elecman as the guitar hero, forte with the bass and someone with the keyboard...oh man, i would want to hear them...:3

[RemingtonHand]

Wow... I knew about Splash Woman... but SHADE MAN?!? O_O

[DullBones]

Yep, said so on his CD database!

[RemingtonHand]

Heh... must be that thing about bats and echolocation.

[KamenRiderXDS]

Wow, that was a pretty cool first episode of the CD Database Collection! Better than I've expected to see. One thing I should point out, YOU BROKE YOUR BUSTER ONLY RULE! Ha Ha! I'm kidding! I know you were forced to use Robot Master weapons to get them. No worries.

Way to go with this one! Look forward to the other ones!

[RoahmMythril]

Yeah, these aren't perfect runs, merely collection instructions X) All bets are off as far as using weapons and utilities. I'm still doing my best to not get damaged though X)

[TonyTheTGR]

I'm gonna have quite a wait, then. I'm missing #98, it's somewhere in MagicMan's stage. And I suspect it requires Rush Search. The Spike-Resistance is necessary for a few items, as well.

Yeah, the GBA port is a pain in the butt, particularly during PirateMan and TenguMan's stages. Mostly because of the vertical limitaitions. There's a couple spots in PirateMan's where I climb right into enemies that I'd normally see ahead of time and avoid effortlessly. Both directions, even.

[RoahmMythril]

Ah yes, 98, that one's fairly irritating. You do indeed need the Rush Search for that one.

[GandWatch]

the thing about airman likes to surfing is a reference to Item-2 (wich to be obtained, you must beat him)

as for the "Shady Bussiness" in Metalman's CDs is about how...evil...is metalman, let's say...by the way he is, he's cold and evil, you can almost say that he hides some evil bussines with someone...

also, you din't mentioned that the CDs are numbered by the Serial Numbers, cutman got the 3, iceman the 5, elecman 8, rock and roll got 1 and 2...all of them (till megaman 8) are numbered

[RoahmMythril]

Ah, I hadn't thought of the Item-2 link there. As for the CD numbers, this much is true, but also, there is one notable flaw in that : there's no slot 0, yet Proto Man does appear in the database. As such, the serial number pattern is flawed right from the start ;)

[GandWatch]

the serial numbers was flawed right from the start of the series...protoman kicked in when megaman 3 happened, thus he got number 000...and i don't think light was going to do the 100 cds starting from protoman and his number...oh well.

i just noticed something...they pretty much put in most of the characters in the database right?...well, they just forgot 3 main characters there:

-Cossack

-Kalinka

-Mr. X (they have a MM&B cd...why not the alter ego of wily could get his own cd?)

[RoahmMythril]

Indeed, I do wonder why Cossack and Kalinka didn't get discs..... though one has to wonder why Dr. Light and Dr. Wily are even included in a ROBOT database... but I digress. If those two were in, Cossack and Kalinka should have been. Reggae, well, who remember him? As for Mr. X, he was just a disguise, and a poor one at that, for Wily, so probably not too worth a seperate disc. I am a bit surprised there wasn't one for Dark Man or Doc Robot though.

[GandWatch]

well, raggae....well, some fans don't know who the heck is raggae...he did first appeared in that board game no? that din't get too much fame... (Tango got lucky in this part...)

as for Darkman or Doc robot...well, that's somewath weird...the doc robots are famous and the darkmen were the villains of MM5! wath would have happened there...?

wait a second...if its about famous bots...why din't the Mettaurs got one? they are famous enough .-.

[geekgo4]

Don't forget the Yellow Devil or the Mecha-Dragon. Maybe Capcom doesn't like the Cossacks.

[GandWatch]

well, the main issue with the Yellow Devil/Mecha-Dragoon Cd are...what kind of things would they writte? they're just wily defence forces...

when i told "mets" thye're the enemy mascot of the megaman series, alas, famous enough and having many kind of things to talk about them (likes: hiding, Dislikes: getting flipped, Good Point: cute, Bad point: can't talk, "Meep", they're the most famous type of bot, and some even bet they will be alive for a long time)

[brawlman9876]

XDXDXD i could never imagine air man on a surf board lol anyway awesome video

[RoahmMythril]

Thank you ;) And I think things only get stranger in the discs X)

[savorith]

I didn't think I'd like these videos as much, but that was pretty entertaining. Can't wait for the next video!

[RoahmMythril]

Good to know it was entertaining ;)

[moronstudios]

I was also surprised that Airman liked surfing.

[RemingtonHand]

Maybe he's a Windsurfer. XD

[RoahmMythril]

I just have a hard time imagining him balancing X)

[RemingtonHand]

Well, it must take a lot of balance to even live with that fan installed in his gut, so bet he's quite the acrobat. XD

[residentevilman64]

yes,very entertaining!great job roahm!

[RoahmMythril]

Good, glad it was enjoyable ^_^

[ZacksEnder]

Haha, at least Roll knows her place. =D

[MartenFerret]

FIRST POST!

100 Discs? Man...

[RoahmMythril]

Aye, indeed, 100 discs, I did it before long ago on the SNES version, so yeah X)
