Mega Man 2, starring Seth Glass

2008-09-27 02:50:57 pm

Soundtrack is A+. Dr. Wily's Castle Stage 1 is probably in my top 5 favourite video game songs.

To whom it may concern...

The amount of time I've been spending on the Mega Man 2 run would be enough to drive your average person crazy. The main reason it's been taking so long is over the past four months I've been testing new ideas and learning new glitches all of which increase the difficulty of the run. However, I feel everything is in it's place now, and every week I'm getting a bit closer to a near perfect take...

Here's a short clip from a failed run I had today, showing one of the more difficult glitches.

Expect something big out of this run. Tongue

boy do i wish i wasn't double majoring. i'm right in the same boat seth, i just don't have the time to play MM2 all day. haha. (which is what i WISH i was doing.)

i've gotten the glitches down wonderfully, i just don't have the time available. (plus my friend is running Gunstar Heroes Expert on my TV and Genesis.) maybe i can clear some time and compete with you on your run.

btw, are you doing the vertical zip in Wily 1?

Nice to hear, I have never seen that glitch in Wiley 1. Totally awsome.

You have seen Bablos run, right?
Im also one of those guys who wants to some day finish an super fast glitch MM2 speedrun. But we wil see about that. It takes a lots of time and it can be very hard.

I'm looking forward to see more of your accomplishments, GlassCage. I loved your previous run and this is looking to be even more promising.

Have you thought about doing a run on "difficult" skill setting?

Wtf? "ClassGage"? Fix your brain >: (

It'll be pretty crazy when you do that glitch in an SS run, dude, I've only done it like 10-15 times in my LIFE.

It's just a little typo. Get over it.

I was glad to find a topic based on my mm2 route!

Good luck to whoever wants to attempt this with the glitches. I know it won't be easy at all, but a moderately good finished run would make a lot of people happy.

I think Seth will actually get in the 28s now. If that happens, I'll start a fan club.

unless he's doing the zips through ALL of the boss tunnels (not proved to be humanly possible...although seth isn't human), the vertical zips in wily 1 (same as the aforementioned), AND the zip in heat man (same), i don't think he's going to get in the 28s.

him and i talked a bit about glitches for the run via youtube and i don't think he's doing ALL of that. i've been doing glitch runs myself (only sparingly, due to a double major and being in a semi-professional orchestra) and i don't think that the glitches we talked about save THAT much time. (i.e. the zip in metalman, the crash man ladder zips, and the famous bubbleman pause glitch without the pause) of course now he's doing the zip over the spikes in wily 2 which is pretty cool, but only saves like 5-6 seconds i believe since you can jump over the crashbomb walls anyway.

gosh i type a lot...

Bablo's savestate run is 29:0x, and only uses the metal man and bubble man zips. the heat man zip is not even close to humanly impossible, I can do it like 90% of the time, as well as quick man. those two are MUCH easier than the wily 2 zip. so yeah, I believe 28s is very possible Smiley

28:XX is doable. Im sure of it. I would also join the fanclub if someone is able to do it Smiley

*sigh* if i have to do it...then i will. i can, it's just the time issue.

also, the savestate time isn't under 29, and you would be assuming that seth will be doing the glitches to frame-like perfection. there's a lot of room for error while doing the glitches.

although, if he clears the 28's by about 30 seconds or more, i'll try and get under 29 as well. haha.

well i'm assuming that by Seth turning in a run in the 28's, it's going to be almost perfect. i mean...i'm only trying to shoot within 30 seconds of Seth's time. so if he gets like 28:2X, then sure, i'd shoot for the "28 club".

Umm, just don't try to overdo it. I certainly wouldn't be disappointed even if it wouldn't be under 29 minutes as long as it contains the big glitches.

haha. i hope you're all understanding what i'm saying.

if seth only clears the 28 marker by like 1 second, then i don't see any point in trying to ALSO join the 28 club haha. if he clears it by a lot, then sure, i'll do it too.

i just don't have the sort of time required to beat/compete with seth. and i'm quite content with that.

that and the fact that my stupid friend is till running Gunstar Heroes and that's a big time consumer.

Check this:

Here's some crazy shit I want to do in Woodmans level. It's a recording of my TV, so sorry the quality is poor. Also the end of the level is the same as before.

edit: Wait, the only part I can't do is the ladder thing. How do you end up on top of the next room instead of climbing up the ladder normally?

Practice

Ok, I'll explain it the best I can.

Get mega man ~ half way in the wall, facing right. The moment his feet are level with the wood ceiling, the button order is this: Jump, Left, Up. It's hard to explain the timings; you just need to feel it for yourself.

If the screen wrapping occurs, one of three things will happen.
1. Mega Man is so far up you can't even see him. No good. You'll find out why.
2. Mega Man is completely visible. Also, not good.
3. The bottom half of Mega Man's body can be seen. Bingo. Now this is important: Hold up, and press jump, no special timing required. Now the screen wraps again, and you’re standing in the bottom of the top screen like in the video. Switch to item-2, and zip to the left as far as you can without falling. One tricky jump left to land on the Item-2, and you’re off.

Okay, I just did all the glitches in one playthrough of the level, and I have a question...

If you pull that off more than 1/20 times, can I officially say you're a machine?

Edit: After 54 tries, I recorded a run of the level. Jesus, the glitch is so nervewracking and difficult.
