When it comes to video games I am obsessive-compulsive about beating them. If I start a game I must finish it. No matter how bad, or how hard it is I will not rest until the ending credits have rolled across the screen. Like Bruce Hornsby says ... that's just the way it is!

Your complete guide to Destructoid

Why once again I am "The best Mega Man 9 player on Dtoid" ...
SilverDragon1979 \| 6:31 PM on 10.06.2008	30 comments

Yesterday I titled myself "the best Mega Man 9 player on Destructoid" and challenged the entire Dtoid community to attempt to beat my best Mega Man 9 completion time of 56:51. I didn't think anyone was up to the challenge, but then pedrovay2003 swooped down and took over my throne by beating the game in 45:58 and doing it without dying a single time. By doing this he pretty much threw down the gauntlet and challeneged me to beat what seemed like an almost impossible feat. At first I was very hesitant, but I finally decided to accept his challenge.

Well I would like to announce that I am once again the "best Mega Man 9 player on Destructoid", because I have not only beaten the game without dying, but I have done it in only 40:22.

Check out the images below for proof of this amazing accomplishment. I would once again like to challenge anyone out there who thinks they can match my incredible skillz to beat this time, and to do so without dying. Is anyone up to the challenge?

VWGTI

Cool beans.

pedrovay2003

Heh, I don't think this competition will ever end.

SWE3tMadness

Nicely done, sir!

wilbo

did you use my lava beam tip?

SilverDragon1979

@Wilbo: No you posted that tip before I had a chance to use it, but it doesn't matter because I never would be able to use it. The order I do the bosses in has me fighting Concrete Man last, so I wouldn't have his weapon available to me when I ran through Magma Man's stage. Thanks for the tip though man. :-)

randombullseye

I tip my hat to you sir. You've earned my respect this day.

Mushman

Congrats dude!! :)

CelicaCrazed

I still need to download this :(

GrayFox

I could beat that, I just don't want to.

GrayFox

Seriously though, nice. I'm at the Wily stages and my time's around 1 hr 45 mins.

Unrelated: any tips for beating that double amoeba boss with the eyeball thing? You know what I'm talking about.

wilbo

use the black hole bomb grayfox
and as soon as the core takes damage just pause then unpause it and fire again repeat until victory

thats the best possible way of beating it

Darksavior

hahaha i love this entry :P

nebones

holy shit.

GrayFox

Thanks Wilbo, I'll give it a shot when I get the courage built up.

Brian Szabelski

I need more experience before I can do that.

Joseph Leray

You're accomplishments and your TV fill me with jealous rage. Also, I did Concrete Man 2nd, because the L. Trident destroys. And because Splash Woman is the easiest boss, IMO.

bottled dark

wow.
that's something i'll never do.
wily's castle is raping me right now.

RICHARD BLOCKER

Full video or it never happened.

SilverDragon1979

@pedrovay2003: Honestly man I think at this point the only way to up one another besides getting a lower time is to beat the game without getting hit once ("Blue Bomber" challenve) or to beat the game without using any energy or mystery tanks ("No Coffee Break" challenge). I personally don't want to even attempt either of those.

Clockwork

Unbelievable.

I really think you should record it.

Cowzilla3

That is amazing. I just bought you an internet drink.

wilbo

blue bomber is just to kill a boss without getting hit i think not the whole game
so not that hard silverdragon

anchorman84

actually no coffee break isnt even that hard. For Wily use a half damage and that little red dude to replenish your health if you need it.

On the other hand, not getting hit the whole game, beating all the bosses with one health pellet, and not picking up any (or a little) energy pellets seems impossible to me. But if i had to do it I'd do the first and last one i mentioned at the same time.

Actually I haven't tried but does anyone know for the "not missing with the mega buster" challenge include the use of sub weapons?

SilverDragon1979

Well guys after very careful consideration I do believe I am going to retire from the game of Mega Man 9. I have pretty much played this game so much that my thumbs have calleses on them. I am honestly pretty sure that I have effectively memorized every single part of every single level of this game. So I bid it fare well.

craineum

Awesome job!

And you will be back... at some point... I know it, you know it, we all know it.

thefil

Look at the top scores on the Megaman 9 Wii leaderboards. You see "Maxxim"? I live with that guy. :D

Artemus

Holy toledo, brotha!
I would love to watch someone beat a Mega Man game without dying... I almost can't believe it can be done!
The spikes from these games have gotta give you nightmares?! Yes?
I mean, how tha hell would you feel if you got to the final boss, blew it and died?
Good gawd, man!
Congrats!
Helluva effort!

Y0j1mb0

Again congratulations are in order.

You Mega Man whore you. ;-)
