*HUGE thanks to cry0genik for the awesome guitar remixes! Come check out his website: http://cryogenik.com *
Here's a little overview of every stages that appear in this part of the run, how they turned out and what were the objectives to do in each one for this run:
- Dr. Wily's Stage 5: The famous boss rush, that was the modern introduction to the now so well known boss rush (I mean with the portals and all) in every other Mega Man games. Instead of describing the whole stage, I'll just list the weapons I've used for each and every bosses and how hard they were to defeat:
- Heatman: Bubble-Lead, Bubbleman's weapon. I dodged his attacks, even the very first one when you first enter the room;
- Airman: Leaf Shield, Woodman's weapon. I got the good shoot pattern, lucky me I guess;
- Woodman: Atomic Fire, Heatman's weapon. Like usual, I can barely dodge the leaves;
- Quickman: Plasma cannon. I didn't have enough Atomic Fire ammo anyways so it was another intense fight against him. No weaird glitch this time though;
- Crashman: Air Shooter, Airman's weapon. He was jumping all around like usual, barely avoidable on Difficult because he can't die in one hit;
- Bubbleman: Metal-Blade, Metalman's weapon. Once again, he can't die that fast so his attacks are pretty much unavoidable;
- Metalman: His own weapon, the Metal-Blade (how lame is that? XD). He dies in two hits on Difficult, got to be fast that's all; and finally;
- Flashman: Metal-Blade, Metalman's weapon. I wasted a little bit too much Metal-Blades but it didn't matter in the end.
After some fights, I picked up enough energy recovery items just to make sure I would make it out alive before I encounter Wily for the first time (well, technically second because the game IS called Mega Man "2"... Nevermind!). For Wily's 1st appearance, I used the rest of the Metal-Blade ammo I had left first and then I used the last remaining Crash Bomber shot. I had to take a hit from Wily in order to have the Crash Bomb explosion at the good place. He went down quite smoothly I must say! =P
- Dr. Wily's Stage 6: Final stage... Wait, that's a stage? Anyways, after the silence, Wily's last attempt to stop Mega Man appeared. The weapon of choice here against Wily's 2nd appearance was the Bubble-Lead, obviously, and it felt like I was playing a real SHMUP. After dodging all of its projectiles and putting tons of bubbles in his mouth, it vanished and Wily begged pardon once again, and it will happen again and again and again but that's the series' charm isn't? ^_^
So that was it! I really enjoyed making and editing this video and I hope you guys enjoyed the guitar remixes and the gameplay as well!
And a very special thanks goes to cry0genik for the awesome guitar remixes. I've said it and I'll say it again, I can't thank you enough for making this video look way more entertaining and enjoyable to watch!
Stay tuned for other amazing gameplay videos from the SHMUPGurus!

*Total video time: 40 min 20 sec*
*Music: I've used cry0genik's Mega Man 2 Guitar Remixes for this video. I've used the sample tracks, edited in my own way just so you guys could enjoy it even more! There are also two bonus tracks not available ANYWHERE ELSE, which are the "Winning Theme" after defeating a boss and the "Idle Drum Theme" from the Weapon Get screen. Anyways, if you guys are interested, you should definitely come check out his website: http://cryogenik.com ! I've barely used the original sound from the original video, but if I did it was mostly the boss explosion sounds.*

Is this a tool assisted run or no?

Nah, don't worry, this run is not tool assisted. As you can see in the run, I am "human" after all, and I do mess up some parts that are not supposed to be that hard (like missing a jump at those spring enemies and the throwing can dudes)... But oh well, I think I still did good in the end! =P

I really like that run. Right now I'm currently pratcing and doing the Speed run of my own with the same remixed songs (Except Bubbleman) really soon. I'm using the MM2 Hack, The revenge of the eight robot masters by Durfar C to do the run.

Did you ask permission to use cry0genik's remixed tracks? I'm sure he'll be mad if he notices that some other people are using his work without permission. Other than that, let me know when your run is complete!

aww man, no cry0genik remix for the ending song? I wanted to hear it.

Yes, indeed. You could always ask him for a CD, it contains the full tracks (not just the re-looped samples) and even the staff roll remix. =P
