So glad you made this. E tanks are not for pussies.
this is awesome. this is how my friends and i talk about games. it's so personal. thanks for this.
that was pretty awesome dude.
if only i could actually play this game (UK 360 player) it might actually be useful too.
Well done Anthony!!
Agreed 100% I've nearly beat this thing. I realize now that I personally have to use about 2 or 3 E-Tanks just to get me through Wily's boss fight. That said, I also realize the I can't, and won't, be using any on my way to him. If I were really excellent at this though, I wouldn't need any, because its totally possible to do without them.
OMFG I burst out laughing at the last part, lmao. Fuckin' Elmer Fudd Dr. Light.
Very good guide. Pitted the humour and informativeness just right.
HAHAHAHA where is that sound clip at the end from. I cant stop replaying it. I look forward to playing it this weekend.
that has to be the best way to describe megaman to strangers who dont understand.
good job rev, this was kind of unexpected but in a good way!
@Spitfire: The end clip there is from megaman 8, lol Dr Wowy FTW!
@Rev
Holy shit, I had the same idea for a video but in the opposite direction. I think I'll get on this tonight :)
Now that, was epic.
Shit son, it has been a minute. Your explicative vocabulary is well suited...
I've been wondering: if you get screws and die or get a gameover but continue, do you keep the screws you picked up?
Also, nice vid Rev. I'm going to try to pick up MM9 on XBLA when I get the chance. Hope I don't break my controller.
Lastly, I'm a pussy and will be using E-tanks on bosses. I tend to usually slip up and get killed for a stupid reason (I wanted to jump, why did I slide?) so I horde them for the boss.
I loved the clip from Mega Man 8 at the end.
Great stuff! So why doesn't Dtoid create a video podcast for all these features again? :)
Why were you using the magnet blocks to get to that E-Tank? You have a thing called Rush Coil, use it.
E-Tanks are worthless. The only reason to use them is if you're doing one of the challenges that requires special weapons(Like Bust a Move or Encore) and you need to get weapon energy back with an M-Tank. Otherwise, using E-Tanks is fail.
Also, nearly every single problem in the levels can be solved by running forwards constantly. These levels were designed to be done on speed-run, and it's pretty obvious once you start doing them a bunch.
All that being said, a good video. You really did sum up Megaman's action pretty well in the beginning there.
Gosh Mega Man 8's voice acting was horrendous.
good guide
Wily's fortress pisses me off.
That was awesome.
I love this game, but I suck so bad at it. I keep getting stuck on this one point on each level I've played
Sweet video, Rev! I should give the demo a shot to see if I can even beat that...
Lol, great vid.
You forgot one very important strategy though:
Hornet Chaser will grab ALL items EXCEPT for E-Tanks/M-tanks. In other words, no you don't need to make that nearly impossible jump for that extra life. Let the hornet go get it for you.
Oh, and I'm going to echo Gen Eric Gui a bit here:
Lrn2RushCoil.
The only parts I had any real trouble with were trying to beat hornet man as my first boss(I kept going through his level for screws to afford the 1/2 damage thing and an E-tank), and Wily's Castle.
Perhaps that's why I don't find Mega Man 2 to be difficult at all any more. I've been through the game so many times, I know exactly where everything is and how to get through with minimal frustration/embarrassment.
You'd think a doctor of his intelligence would be able to speak a wittle bettah.
Brilliant Rev. This is gonna be real helpful.
Man, I worried about this video UNTIL you said "E-Tanks are for pussies". Truly great vid, made only more awesome by the ridiculous MM8 sound clip.
Anthony, do like and/or appreciate 8 bit Mega Man games since playing 9? If so have you tried the gem of MM2 as a result?
awesome video.. i cant wait to dl it on weds for 360.
Great video, and the ending cracked me up too.
I do terribly with games like this because normally I don't have the patience to play through the same goddamn level ten times trying to learn patterns. I might give it a shot though, just to say I've played it.
I'm sorry I couldn't hear you over my own humming of tornado man's theme. JK, great video. It's amazing how many people new to megaman games assume that the dissappearing blocks are random and all about reflexes.
Who slowed down Yahtzee's voice?
This reminds me why I like modern games more than retro games. I don't play games just so I can make extra work for myself, although I sometimes do end up putting work into games I like.
Check out mega man 2 on VC (or on your NES). It's one of the best Mega man games out there.
Also.. I haven't found this game more difficult than most other Mega Man games. Yeah it's a little tough but that just makes you a better gamer...
Memorizing boss attack patterns and circumventing them is a staple of a lot of gaming franchises.
I don't think I could ever beat the game like that...
I bought this game two days ago and got to the final battle in under two hours using no E-tanks. As I was watching this video, I realised I was not its target audience.
The bit about needing strategy instead of reflexes is an interesting one, in that I finished most levels without continuing. Perhaps it was because I played the first three NES Mega Man's to death and knew what to expect, but memorization wasn't the problem for me, I died more often from an incorrect jump than from not knowing that an enemy was going to jump out at me.
Bravo Sir. Bravo.
Excellent!
Can't wait for this to hit XBLA.
Anthony, great video, man!
Hilarious! I like the editing and the E tank joke. So true!
Funny how you used Dr. Light's speech impediment! I've always wondered why Capcom decided to make him sound like that... And Mega Man sound like a girl!
Why?! Why Capcom?! Why?!
Anyway - Mega Man 9 is amazing!
Part 1 summary: Shoot the crap.
wily's fortess is a bitch
@Samit, for some inexplicable reason they chose Concrete Man as the demo level, which should by no means be tried first, so don't feel bad about not being able to complete it. I can't and I'm half way through the game :S
/bow
I want this because the 8-bit Mega Mans and X are the best but I'm stuck with Duke Nukem and Rock Band 2 right now.
LOL @ etanks
I really like to criticize stuff, but this was a pretty good video! Want moar!
this just shows that you don't know how to play Mega Man though. for example that part were your saying not to go for that E-Tank and screws. Well you don't have to jump to that high area of platforms just jump over and then use R.Coil which you have from the start of the game to jump up there.

the biggest part of mega man is knowing how and when to use your special weapons along with memory.
Thanks! ;D
Bravo, sir. Bravo.
