Mega Man 1 Special Weapons Only Challenge - Wily Fortress Final

Well... I went and blew it all at the last second. Dr. Wily himself was the one to rob me of my one credit clear. Crying shame, really, but there you have it. I'm not as good as people make me out to be, and I'm nowhere near afraid to admit it.

The complete refill of my weapons due to the continue wasn't as much of a boon as one might think, thanks to this stage carrying the game's one and only instance of the wonderful toy known as the Yashichi: a little pinwheel item that refills all health and weapon energy. I hear they appear around all kinds of Capcom games, though I believe this is the only game in the Mega Man series that it appears in as a powerup item.

And on a side note, I have made the jump at 0:52 before. It was just being exceptionally stubborn.

The boss rush leading up to Wily himself is fairly rough, with the remaining four Robot Master rematches back to back with no healing in between. Even while using the weakness weapons, Fire Man and Guts Man always leave me in poor shape for the upcoming showdown, so believe me when I say I am SO glad for the checkpoint right after they're over and done with.

Despite any practice I've had up to this point, I wind up coming into this battle relatively blind compared to the rest of the run. I don't fight Wily often, mostly due to the "experience algorithm" I described before. Brace for world-class idiocy in the final battle. It takes until my very last life to realize... this could easily have been done without taking a single hit. I remember quick snatches of the tricks used to beat him over the course of the five lives used to do the deed, though I knew from the very beginning that I used Fire Storm and Rolling Cutter, but not in which order to use them or even if they're really his weakness. It's a train wreck.

What a finale.

Is that blinkyness an artifact of your vid capture methods or do you actually see that when you're playing? Cuz if it blinks like that when you're playing... jees

That's the fault of Movie Maker. From what I've gathered, it brings the framerate down to 30fps (half what was being recorded), so anything that flickers normally in the game randomly disappears in the final video. Happens all the time with my Battle Network videos, too, if you've noticed when I use Invis chips.

If you let Fireman shoot first, he doesn't spam the Fire Storm so much.

I always called those things, "candies."

Not true. With Rush Option in MM8, It can also be found, but it's RARE!

[mastermega8]

actually, the Yamichi appears in 8 as one of Rush`s items he gives you

In the words of Strongbad:

IT'S OVAR!

Congrats, Kayorei - 'twas fun to watch.

Fire Storm is Wily's first form weakness, as I see you've figured out during the battles.

Second form has no weakness, so the multi-hit attacks Thunder Beam and Rolling Cutter are your best bet.

Congratulations on another challenge won. Special Weapons only is so much more interesting to watch than a simple Buster run.

That's youtube's fault actually. All Youtube videos are at 30 FPS.

The Yasichi is also a powerup on Mega Man Battle & Chase (invincibility) or so I remember.

That game was sweet ^^

Why not grab a different free editing program then? I'm not sure if one exists, but I use Nero Vision, and I got that for free.
