lost my best friend to cancer and I hope this helps others ten dollars from Jamie 102 Pokemon is the series that got me into gaming and is my favorite series of all time so I had to donate during black and white to my grandma is unfortunately losing her fight against colon cancer this year after a long and hard battle but she never gave up hope for a moment and had the greatest and brightest attitude that I've ever seen she's inspired me to embrace life through the good and the bad and live it to its fullest the fact that I can watch amazing speedruns and help a great cause is incredible and I know she'd be thrilled by how much we've raised all right sounds like they are ready to go with the interview so I'm gonna go ahead and toss it over to blocky and sour it at the interview desk take it away guys hey guys thanks for watching thanks for throwing it over here we that was a great run of Pokemon black white coming up real soon we have the Megaman relay race now this is going to be something that everybody's been waiting for this is like the number one event of the marathon for a lot of people and then right after that we're actually gonna be having zallard playing punch-out and super punch-out at the same time with the same inputs yep that's ridiculous yeah that's ridiculous cuz I mean at these at these gdq events so far we've seen all of these kind of like interesting quirky takes on the punch-out series um we saw blindfolded punch-out blindfolded super punch-out and then a race of blindfolded punch-out so now just to take like everyone was thinking like well where can they take it from here and then you wowed us with this where did this idea come from to play both games with the same inputs at the same time so it's a funny story like I was playing like the new for the new version of it like Animal Crossing on 3ds as one does yeah and I really liked that game but the one thing that it kind of lacked was punch oh yes know what I'm talking about yeah you could collect NES games and you could play them like straight up in your Animal Crossing house so I I put that I was kind of just playing it I'm like huh I have an idea so you can there's like a controller called the wave bird it has different receivers and what I decided to do is I plugged one into a Gamecube and one into a Wii with super punch-out on a virtual console and I try I just tried messing with it and I actually got really far and yeah that's insane so how did you go about practicing something like this then as this event as this have been approached so I did that that set up for quite a while there was another marathon a local one kelly Thawne I did this run there and that was actually my submission video for no okay and I used that set up but there were some limitations because like sometimes it would drop inputs based on how close the controller is to the receiver and then there's also there's input lag because both those ports have a little bit of input lag it it's not too bad but it is definitely there especially when you're playing it on the original versions No okay so I want you to take me through this because I can imagine you know you're fighting glass Joe and what's the first punch out at Gabi J Gabi J oh yeah so glass Joe and Gabi J at the same time and you know you could just mash through those guys no problem but even and even maybe like Tyson and Gabi Jay would be no problem but if you're fighting two difficult opponents at the same time how do you possibly balance kind of Tyson can knock you out at any point Nick bruisers no pushover obviously so how do you kind of balance doing the two at the same time so both punch out games do you have a bit of down time I try to alternate but I mean both games are really chaotic both are wildly random so every once in a while you may see me fight a couple of folks at the same time and that can be a bit scary definitely yeah but whenever you use a star punch in Mike Tyson's punch-out it does pause true just because of the way the both of the games are mapped to the controller so do you use that to your advantage or is it like immediately unpause because you don't want that I do use it to my advantage I have tried it the simultaneous way and it can work but as far as consistency goes like the randomness just yeah it throws everything out of whack is there is one of the games longer than the other so you kind of need to slow down or you have kind of more luxury with one of the games so Mike Tyson's punch-out is longer but due to the fact that super punch-out can be paused like Mike Tyson has no pause button right because that's your uppercut button yeah super punch-out ends up being the last game whenever I do this challenge but I get the best times as the games like approach each other so like if the games are about to finish at the same time that's when I get like the optimal time okay done it what about just like though different quirky bosses like I'm imagining maybe King Hippo or Narcis prince where you just need to it's very hard to adapt because there's even in a casual playthrough there's a particularly particular strategy you need to go into these guys with so like how do you manage something like King Hippo where you can't where you need to wait until his weak spot is exposed basically meanwhile you're fighting someone in super punch-out so I mean what I would do is I would set up something and super punch-out like a knockdown to where the inputs okay kind of simple and then I would go after King Hippo like basically this is an exercise in taking full advantage of the downtime yeah both game got an action going on right right pretty much constantly throughout both games as a result yeah so that's that's mainly the way I'm handling it got it and does that go the same for something like these critical hits like in both punch-out games the your enemy's off your opponent's often just have this weak point where it's critical you got to get a punch in and they could go from full to zero so for those kinds of moments is it that same thing where you just kind of make sure that there's some downtime in the other game when you need to get that important punch in yeah definitely that makes total sense yeah like for example ball bolting and Mike Tyson's punch-out he's scripted to get up on a 9 count and that's plenty of time in for a fight and super punch sounds like I could floor someone in that time so I I seized that opportunity whenever I can try to minimize that time like the like when you do like a playthrough of either of either game you're probably expecting something like maybe 20 minutes or so per game and it's kind of surprising how low I can get both of the games like like even if you were to cut the time that I finished both of them in half like it would be impossible to finish even one of those games on it so I do want to ask you some Twitter questions before that we've got sent here who wants us to talk about some prizes coming here because this Megaman relay that's coming up has some incredible prizes I'm sitting here amongst the bevy of stuff that we just have ready for you guys to win I want to show some of

original animation cell from Mega Man 8 this is nuts this is certified to be one of the original animation cells along I believe there's almost like a little concept sketch on the back of it it's kind of hard to see it's a little faint through the the backing but yeah this is one of the original animation cells for edible 1/8 it's it's crazy you might be wondering why there's actually kind of very clear and a lot of spots and I didn't I didn't realize this either I had to ask the donor like hey what's what's up with that it seems almost unfinished well apparently they didn't actually add yellow paint what they did was they had the game as a yellow background and just added things on top of that for the the cutscenes that's just a really cool animation technique guys this is this is absolutely a piece of history it's one-of-a-kind it's a thirty dollar minimum donation between now in the end of the relay race it was donated to us by a 0:10 thank you so much for that that's that's

left so we need your help getting this in this is awesome I've never seen anything like this before so let's do it let's do it we have a few Twitter questions actually coming in from you guys so let's get to those for zallard so elder unique asks used our which of the two games so you're gonna be playing them at the same time which of the two games are you more nervous about probably definitely Mike Tyson's punch-out mhm and why is that Tyson Tyson okay okay got it next up by C polls M we have will we see a three games one controller run of Mike Tyson's punch-out super punch-out and then punch out for the Wii from you ever so there's a couple of issues with that one is the the length of that game is so much longer than Mike Tyson's punch-out and super punch-out although if I were to do the first loop then you know that kind of falls in that rush but then there's the question of the technology required because just for this run it's kind of hard to get it to work correctly but I don't know I couldn't imagine what it would take for to you know add we in the mix yes big that's a big ask right there big ask well thank you so much salary for this interview I hope that it gets met we're only 9k away we need your help to make it happen so keep on watching this mega man relay donate for this awesome amount of prizes including an autographed dragster cart so let's do it thank you

duckfist take it away [Music] what's up agdq 2018 you guys excited for this relay race oh yeah yeah they seem excited well they seem pretty excited so I'm sinister1 I'm joined here by duckfist and telling me we're gonna be your commentators for the relay race and we have 12 of the best Megaman players from around the globe we have six countries represented here it's a very diverse group and they're top players so let's get right into it we want to introduce the teams duckfist would you do the honours sure thing yeah we have four teams today starting off on Team Auto we have cool kid playing megaman 1 he's the current world record holder from sweden and on megaman 2 we have a stream line from the USA and on megaman 3 we have casio from brazil joining us all right next up we got team beat we have dexter he is from sweden you've seen him racing this game a few times before I'm sure but somebody you haven't seen before is shoka from Japan who'll be playing Mega Man 2 is he is a former world record holder by the way and finally playing Mega Man 3 for Team beat we have Colonel fatso and he is from Canada and then we have team role starting off with Mega Man one white hat from the USA running Megaman 2 we have cipher from the USA also and then one of our few runners that came from a distance also Christie running Megaman 3 from Germany oh and to finish us off we have team rush starting us off on megaman 1 is ND suis from sweden and on Megaman 2 we have Zaraki 0:47 from Japan and we're wrapping it up on Mega Man 3 we have fast at CC from the USA the current world record holder and if if we're ready to go I suppose we can pass it back over to the runners and get this going [Music] [Applause] you have seen this race before that is true these these four players did race last year I believe Dexter was the winner has a whole nother dynamic now though with two more games to follow all right we're gonna do a countdown we're gonna go from five four three two one [Applause] [Music] alright starting us off and cut man stage in Mega Man 1 we begin with cut man stage because not a whole lot of items can actually make the stage be sped up and also cut man can take quite a bit of damage from the Buster and once you get the rolling cutter you can take down elec man pretty easily elec man is really difficult with the Buster and most importantly on elec man stage will be getting the magnet beam which is kind of the primary item to use to execute all the crazy wishes and techniques in this run coming up on this next screen here and Mega Man 1 is one of the notorious liked to tile high corner jumps let's see how many of our players get it it looks like everyone that went for it got it just fine very nice moving through the rest of cut man stage here really good execution so far so another trick you're gonna see these players doing is they're gonna be using select to kind of shorten the damage animation there and get through enemies a lot quicker you'll notice that throughout the run they can also use select on the bosses but that won't happen until a little bit later yeah the select button is a magical thing in this game it's pretty unique in the entire Mega Man series it's used to execute quite a few things and you need some dexterous fingers to be constantly reaching for the select button there all these players doing a great job so far timing board is always different between bosses so the runners have to be very aware of which boss they're fighting and know the timings for each one so here's an interesting tiny little glitch there you see them grabbing a little ladder on the bottom of the screen from the top of the screen just a just a small sample of a few interesting things to come here and this this big eye is kind of annoying doing ten damage on contact and it's pretty much a 50/50 shot whether or not you run in but that meant fight is quite easy I don't think any of our runners have too much issue here so yeah you're not gonna see too much difference here in this in this first stage it's pretty straightforward but once we start getting into the later stages you're gonna probably see a little bit of separation from our runners but as duckfist mentioned this is the scripted fight so these guys shouldn't have too much problem with cutman at all and it looks like everybody is taking them down pretty easily [Music] [Applause] now we have a pretty tight spread here everyone entering Alec's stage and this stage is completely different from cutman stage it's sort of vertically oriented and it's much more difficult even in casual play and speed running across the board even this first room is extremely challenging to get out of if you didn't even ever play this game but quite a bit of a select button usage to to buffer through some of the damage that you take some relief is dangerous jumps coming up and most importantly about after to the stage will be checking out that magnet beam one of the most critical sections of this run so as you can see this stage is very vertical these players gonna be going up quite a bit there's gonna be a tight corner jump that's coming up and if it is missed by any of our players they're gonna lose 12 seconds or so they're gonna have to be pretty careful okay and here's this gear I in the next corner jump a couple of retries at least falling in everyone's heart everybody's through [Music] all right that's what we want to see can't erase that those times the jumps are always really scary so nice to see them all just like and we're coming up pretty quick to the magnet beam early grab so normally you need to get you need to have these super arm which you get from guts man to grab and move these blocks but Mega Man's ladders are kind of strange by kind of shooting and grabbing a ladder at the same time you can zip out of bounds in the roads have to be extremely careful here to grab this and not get stuck inside Oh careful your body as many of you know you can get stuck there so it's really great to see all the players getting through and now they can start using that magnet beam to send these ladders a little quicker it's pretty slow to climb the ladder so they're gonna be making very good use of that magnet beam to get all the way up to the top and fight an election and not a whole ton of ability to start zipping with it yet but we're gonna see that in the very next page yeah the magnet beam is really the primary weapon that really distinguishes this this runner from every other Megaman game and most other names in general I mean it just has such insane utility and some of the glitches coming up it can really do some amazing things is it's a truly unique addition to the speed run and this boss fight is pretty straightforward there's gonna fire three shots here oranges because that was a place one there for cool kids gonna be careful now yeah we don't normally say like man I'll get a shot Andy gets that really high orb grab as well as saving a few frames there as well these guys have been doing a great job of keeping it close so far but Iceman is where the difficulty ramps up this can be a pretty scary stage we're gonna see some zips starting now yeah this is a this is a really challenging stage in for a what I understand talking to the runner before a lot of them are pretty afraid of this stage comparatively to the rest of the stages so there's a real critical section with some of the Magna beams you really want to get some of these vertical screen wraps to avoid having to jump through the really slow yoku block sections another thing to note is that walking in the water is a little slower so all the runners are gonna try and just stick the magnet beams above the water and keep above that so here's the zip set up the runners only have a limited amount of ammo to set the stuff so it's really important that they get it or just go ahead and move on and we get a couple of nice verticals next year coming through okay pretty much everybody except for Team Rush has made it through and there's the suction here crossing this is a large gap these these floating flat foam guides can be really finicky and Dexter taking a death there on the center of Iceman stage so we we have been told that team auto is winning the audience straw poll with 47 percent of the votes they're looking for that automatic win team auto look out cool kid he's the world record holder he's played this game quite a bit and he's had some success in gdq's that's for sure but it's still a pretty close race overall Dexter really fortunate actually with regard to how he did the zip from the first when he had a lot of extra beam it will go through that long section again really easily and we got to see our first instance of the Select invulnerability cancel glitch on robot masters easily taking down a boss just with a single projectile you see that quite a bit the use of the select button really showing itself in the ice band stage nice corridors hips there yeah those corridors it's just if you have any spare magnet beams you can kind of place those every every one of those placements is pixel perfect and these donors are some nailing all the time I mean I just can't even understand that it's it's really a next-level thing using the Magna beam to just kind of avoid going up and down these slow ladder sections Rizzo in fireman stage we really don't really want to watch out for the last part of the stage there's a critical zip yeah all these all these magnet beam placements are critical here in this stage just a lot of a lot of very difficult placements and a lot of zips be done and we can see that the team Otto and leave out the team role are keeping it pretty close white Pat gets that nice little screen scroll again too so I'm saving a few more few more frames yeah yeah it's kind of an optional little zip here okay so here is the big fireman stage zip coming up this is really important that these guys get this because if you don't have the inputs just right you can just fall and die cuz Megaman is kind of on the bottom of the screen here cool kit is through but unfortunately it looks like did not make it and the difficult thing about that is mostly you just lose all the magnet beam you had acquired at that point and it might not be possible to attempt as if account nice job there by team rushes while getting massive heading in applause so once again just using that select record does that to be mindful of how many high frames each boss has space it out correctly and T beat making it through the fireman zip team roll progressing to the boss while team rush and Hamato are making their way to the next stage which is bomb man and with that we can probably get a few donations in the first half upon man stage here all right we have a thirty dollar donation from flora be ninja staying third time donator longtime speedrunner this is a shout out to all my classic Megaman crew this is what I've been waiting for all week we also have a 15 dollar donation from Koster that says concert here which all of the classic maim and best of luck this donation goes to the winning teams choice go team feed all right progressing through a bomb man stage here it's relatively straightforward through the first half there's a few little magnet beam zips you can kind of squeeze in at the top of the screen and put us avoiding the sniper Joe if you don't use like the ice beam or just stay above them with magnet because this guy's gonna follow you all the way through the end here [Music] and main thing to watch out my message this very last section there is a critical zip set up here you see on Team Auto we want to get a magnet beam on a specific pixel transition the screen vertically and this last room can be bypassed as it's quite long so it's a huge time-saver very nice execution by team otto their team rush coming up see if you gets the pixel that looks good and wait and we're good and trigger the transition working beautifully and the bomb man fight is relatively straight or just do that select buffer with the fire right on top of them goes down nicely [Applause] yes it's worth knowing this this game doesn't have very much randomness but bomb has some of it there and whether he jumps all the way across the room or a short hop and he got a good pattern there compared to cool kids though a little little bit of time difference you're not gonna see a huge swing I don't think in this game based on RNG but there's a little bit of it here so we see on a cool kids stream as a Dexter and white hat successfully execute immediate bond mansaf who kid going through best man stage so if you didn't do the early magnet mean grabs that you were playing a some sort of a zipless category you'd start with guts man stage but those moving platforms are extremely slow since you have the magnet beam in this route it allows you to go through that it just it's just a part of the route that makes this much faster they'll even try to kind of squeeze in some extra little zips here at the end a cool kid not quite having the right pixel see what Team Russia has to say here that looks good might get a little zip here nice vertical screen wrap as well there it is in a few seconds [Music] and we'll probably see some corridor zips is here as well pretty much whether these zips works do you want to get the magnet being placed at a particular pixel so that mega man's entire sprite fits like neatly between the ceiling and that and the and the nine of you men to face left you just go flying at like sixteen pixels of her friend nd radon pool conceals now [Music] deimata with the crab oh yeah team rush follow another so we're going into wily stages and there's gonna be a zip right early on in the stage which is about a seven or eight second time safe so cool kid were to miss this and then Andy where to get it we could probably take the lead at this point [Music] still counts [Applause] Bom Bom is a very frustrating weapon news a hyper bomb is not not the most useful of weapons in the kuma series looks like coolkid didn't get visit like giving me a chance right here they're both gonna have to take the long way this gives the other two teams a little bit of time to catch up I mean eight seconds is definitely a good Shawn now there's still plenty of dangerous rooms and potential time losses clan savers coming up throughout the rest of the wildling stages it's not an easy game folks this bottom screen here with the with the large spike that across the bottom of these floating platform guys beyond team Otto doing another vertical screen wrap like riding the ladder it's really scary these green platforms they just don't cooperate sometimes they can move randomly sometimes if you're just standing on them you'll just fall right through and take damage and land on the spikes then cool connect with a little issue with Magna beam climb very low on magnet [Music] we can already see nd over here catching up quite a bit too cool-kid not messing up those uh Magnum eve jumps the beam is really critical on hanging on since you don't get refills throughout the run throughout the wily councils you have to be very careful don't want to waste many of them roading comes a little bit different Oh we'll get getting dangerous they're going for the the streamline kill and eat yeah really important that really important these guys don't miss a cycle because obviously then you have to wait for yellow devil to form on the other side of the room so really nice job there stay the answer really like the most well known application of these two lifeless right there just because yellow devil is such a long fight all the way if you don't use it we think into wily - this is a really this is a pretty scary stage there's a lot of zip potential that can be very scary and our runners will not be going for the more scary ones because there are some immense softlock potential in also you if you die you respawn pretty far back refighting cutting in here still just using the Buster that doesn't seem to be any blocks to grab for guts man's weapon [Music] you can keep bosses overlapped with busted shop no real reason to use reflect team role moving on to Wiley - and Andy catching up a little bit because he's not having to get those refills for Magna beam Dexter taking a death going back to the beginning of wily - got Wiley - I believe there's a checkpoint near the end but before either elec man or cut man it sends you right back to the beginning and you have to refi those bosses and we can't emphasize enough just how difficult these Megaman games are so it's completely normal to see some deaths in these races so everything is just so precise using a trick similar to the early magnet beam graph our runners will be jumping out of balance here just a little bit it's much safer than the refight skip but you can see it just plant houses those vertical screens much faster and a team russian team auto entering a copy robot very close here [Music] now that looks like a three or four second spread between the two very nice this should be interesting so the use of play man's weapon Iron Man's weapon on a copy robot print every weapon does to damage against this guy but this is just the most it's easiest to hit him with and when a copy robot attacks he'll always attack with whatever weapons currently have equipped it's just the easiest way to deal with it just runners are gonna want to be careful not to use too much ammo for later [Music] [Applause] [Music] that's my favorite part of the run the dupes the doobs oh yes moving into wily three here there's a really we say this pretty much every zip but it's a very critical as if it's gets like half the stage meeting enough having of Magna beam is crucial to pull this off they can set this up with a buffer who'll get elected not to do that who kind of a thing a single magnet being left that should be just enough room okay land anyway addition to buffer that last shot was close he is out of banking now though unfortunately for the set up in wily for now he's gonna have to do a slightly different setup than probably most of the other runners so looking to get these dupes here what you need to do is just do a regrab on the last frame as block is going off this mean and there's there's one gonna need 200 more there's another one he needs one more got to get this last one cool-kid punching it out and yes three despair in between showing us how pooping is all is done those are frame-perfect inputs now those are frame-perfect inputs there are seven of those bubble machines and there are only four of the blocks keep in mind and he has enough magnet beam here so he's not gonna be losing any time but ku kid is gonna have to come up with something and he's gonna have to skip that first if it looks like oh no he's gonna respawn the this is NEC you had set up I am very close here cool-kid giving this last as it picks it here as well and this is one of the vistas of V critical as if of the run guys surprise but the team rushes in there plenty of dudes for every team successfully defeating with the bubble pushing here but so what you saw there on both team rush and team Auto and coming up on team beating team roll looks looks like we're taking a intentional game over on team nowhere okay so what we saw there is a refight skip by placing a few magnet beams and having bomb man throw at least two bombs if you just mash the stop button you fly towards the top of the screen and just zip past all the possums so taking out wild machine not very difficult but the runners are not going to take too much damage and team ATO is done moving on to Mega Man 2 with streamline team rush right behind - excellent times mid 19 minutes for both of those teams and they're gonna be moving on their players are switching out and we're gonna be ready for rock man 2 here in just a moment as soon as they get a loaded up White House opening some some rough showing them but all players have seen the refight skip very nice looks like Team Russia actually took the lead there in that transition as a matter of fact so the route here in Rockman - these guys were gonna go to flash first they're looking to get item 3 along with timestopper that will help him to set up as if in heat Man which is the next stage and then they can get item 1 which is that's the truly broken item in this game yeah flash man stage doesn't really require any items it doesn't havin too much potential for zips to save time and flashes we can get Buster T be finishing up Mega Man 1 [Music] followed by team roll [Applause] [Music] no only half a stage deviation between 1st and 4th I mean up close oh yeah this is long relay here a lot of things could happen so note that they're playing the Japanese version and that means that the Buster and the rest of your weapons for that matter only deal half as much damage as in the US version so these guys are gonna have to do get 14 shots in here on flashman this is a really cool-looking fight if you can pull it off just right this is extremely difficult fight highly technical there's very little room for error the idea is to kill flash man before it uses timestopper oh the Rocky was one shot they're catching up one line at a time coming through [Applause] yeah this the splash fight is is when done correctly just looks amazing it's really impressive to see them get all the heads in so some pretty long cutscenes in this game but basically they're getting time chopper here they're getting item three that's the one that attaches to the wall can go up and down that's gonna allow them to get into the ceiling on eight-man stage and the way that that works is this game the collision detection is really actually looking for the item as opposed to megaman sprite so as long as the item isn't going into the ceiling that's where it would be spawn megaman can enter the ceiling and then you can get ejected it's very very fast speeds as you're gonna see here shortly in heman stage team beating team roll pulling on a flash lamp stage at about the same time toka clutching it out one more hit and he would have been dead there he only has four HP so let's see some item three throws here nicely done there by Zaraki that's a very tight throw you actually get pretty far off that single block before you and here's a demonstration of our first zip by placing the item three and standing on it while the item three is going up on the ladder but Mega Man is underneath the ceiling you can force yourself into the ceiling and just fly across this way you're having a little difficult yeah that item three placement is a little tricky and then it's a three win does get this dip for a frame window so the rocky feeling with these Goku boxes he's making sure he doesn't fall and hit there and he's gonna have to take on eat man now to be interesting to see what he elects to do here he can either take damage from this enemy which it looks like he's going to or you may see some of our players using the time stopper to avoid taking that damage because eat man feels quite a bit of damage and most of these guys are going to be doing a pretty aggressive strap where they stand near heat man to minimize the time in between his attacks he can delay for a half second a full second or a second and a half and they're gonna kind of do these little buffer jumps and make sure that they land right next door so rocky looks like he's gonna take it safe though actually I don't blame him at all let's see if streamline is going to take the same approach once again huge factor of RNG in this boss fight he-man can - after 30 60 or 90 frames so Papa - they won and a second time frame alright so streamlined did take a hit so he is gonna take it say from here on out which is a wise move one more hit and he look you down [Music] [Applause] team Ottawa crew as well and yeah the heat Man fight is it is pretty difficult it takes 14 shots with the Buster to kill them and yeah bubble let does do more damage but we really really want the item 1 you'll see coming up after air man stage but every man's stage coming up next this is a really difficult stage will people the item one will help us cross it little faster but this is one of the critical moments in Mega Man 2 is crossing the air man's stage pit with item 1 it's pretty scary it's pretty scary to do in a marathon run and there's a couple different ways you can do it I believe that our players will most likely be electing to take damage which is a little safer than trying to do these kind of corner jumps which are very very dangerous so first up so Rocky's gonna go ahead and use the the time style team rollin TV finishing he man state within about a second of each other all right here we go the corner jumps click sera sera sera Judi feeling pretty confident there and some great execution and he is through the danger zone right now team Otto made it as well so the air man fight itself is actually pretty difficult because he's got five different patterns that he can do some of them are favorable some of them are not and once again you're stuck with the Buster so you got to get 14 shots and if you can really kind of weave your shots in between his tornadoes then you can kill them pretty quickly but if not then I can take a little longer my favorite little tricks in the air man stays there by just briefly turning to the left as that as that PP spawns the flame of the bird it'll spawn from the left side making the Reston that's be much easier and here we got teen roll team beat making across the dangerous item one jump section getting the corner team rolling through TV is through everybody that's really good news those rocky getting a good pattern here he's able to take some intentional damage both times and he should get a pretty quick kill on air man didn't even move nice pattern for team Otto as well taking that intentional damage up missed that last tornado and they're gonna have a little bit of a slower flight now keep in mind that cypher is kind of he's kind of creeping up on these guys he started out a little far behind but he can kind of slowly make up time he's definitely a very strong player in this game and he is also made it through air man here these other players have managed to pick up item two and they will be headed to clash man stage so duckfist do you think anybody's gonna be doing anything special here I'm not sure clash is a notorious stage in this game it has a pretty much the most difficult trick in this first screen it is possible is if out of Bounce I'm not sure any part runners are going to go for it and each team rushes going for it always no second screening second swings in by zipping out of bounds here streamline now looked like he wanted it my zipping on a bounce here actually the team rushes about five Springs ahead of the current visual position team model having a little difficulty setting it in a little bit of trouble there he's gonna have to reset that screen so you can get back up there it's pretty easy to bonk your head when you're trying to set up that second screen so the D is through the zip this time Rocky advancing nicely to this stage as well so what's happening is both after the zip the players are walking out of balance past the checkpoint and then dropping down a ladder and on that screen it's actually considered suicide on her knees that spring and since you're past the checkpoint you responded the checkpoint is much faster than climbing through all of the slow moving platform screens and Iran cipher and shoka's screens we'll see them attempt to clash man zip as well these items replacements on the ladder are very very close by actually if you place them that wrong sections on the ladder they won't be here underneath you so they have to aim as they go up the ladder and make sure we're gonna actually land on it firing in the correct position luckily you have plenty of item one but he's gonna have to take a much slower path and SEC map the stage so we're coming up to clash man here is a rocky we finally have the boss weaknesses no need to use Buster anymore so depending on which pattern he does he may only need a fire two tornadoes and there it is good pattern yes good execution that's exactly what we want to see is that sort of delayed jump almost so streamline is up next same kind of pattern he gets good pattern as well very all right so we are entering a very very scary stage there is potential for softlock in this stage there's gonna be a couple snips that are set up so rocky wisely choose to get the one up there this game is very very dangerous and you are taking two intentional death so it's better to just kind of have that buffer life but he's gonna set up a first appear we're gonna have to see whether he elects to keep the lights on her to turn them off [Applause] I know that some of our players that are at the different feeling about what they want to do here says rocky I'll see what he does [Music] lady I'm off so yeah you can actually do this an entire quick ban beam section here without seeing where the platforms are don't worry these guys have practices quite a bit it is just a slightly faster you can turn the lights on but you do have to slow down to do it t model getting a really nice setup their streamlined doing the zip half way through space actually the three item wants to get into the ceiling it's really difficult it's much different than the other zip system take some practice on black clothes those runners made it no problem because the streamline did elect to keep the lights on it does help toward the end of the stage where Zaraki is now he's setting with the final symptom looks like he's in a good position he just has to not past the door because that will cause the soft block so he's got pretty far to go he's kind of got a Widow's way over and he needs to not go back to the transition spot McEvoy and then he's got a really tough fight here he's got a LAN seven shots against quick means for random he gets a bad pattern they're [Music] [Applause] having to reset he'll input the password or having defeated all through clash man and a restart quick man's stage that is unfortunate that is gonna be a big big time loss that's about a minute and a half so you can see these other players are actually gonna be catching up and cypher had made up some time there but he missed that last sip in that final section so heading into would man as a rocky with a pretty solid lead here but this stage can be scary as well he's gonna have another choice to make is he gonna go for the dog scrolls which are incredibly difficult and can cause a big-time loss if you don't do them well or is he gonna break out the time stopper again he's going dogs bro let's go it's really important to sort of what happened there and quick with overtipping that's really important you don't want to over sip really anywhere typically and the important the important thing is to trigger these screen transitions very carefully yeah you have a very small window to actually do this nice so the raki is through he probably makes a little bit of time it is just a couple of seconds faster than using the time stopper in that and from here on out it gets a little strange to the rest of the stage is played out of bounds with a bunch of clever zip setups [Music] it'll look scary but trust me they have it under control but essentially they're walking through the rest of the stage advancing the room number until they pass the boss checkpoint room and what's nice by kind of leaving certain screens out of bounds you don't have to deal with the enemies that would normally be in those screens [Music] [Applause] alright and streamline does get through this time so he is three quick man and Slifer electing for the time stopper strat to pass through all of the Wolves there yeah cipher is really taking some very very consistent strats that's his approach for this relay Zaraki taking down wood man with the air shooter less what's well-known a weakness most people would think atomic fire but on rock band 2 or on Mega Man 10 difficult mode it does take two fully charged atomic fire to kill them much easier use air shooter and heading into metal man this is a pretty straightforward stage they're gonna set up a fairly long zip at the beginning of the stage so this would probably be a good time for some donations that are being alright actually you guys are gonna be hyped again because we had an anonymous $10,000 donation [Applause] I have to donate to my favorite game series Mega Man and punch-out and donation goes towards the pone up punch on Senate but I'll put another 5,000 if cool-kid goes for the wily 2 skips great cause and grave evil we have a $50 donation from Dirk's McGregor that says the missus and our two kids are excited to watch this awesome Mega Man relay go fasta we have a $50 donation from Ken McDonald that says mega man relay race and zallard playing to punch-out games at once yes please and then Barney student donates $30 saying keep of the excellent event this ningún relay is true hi all right take it away a little too far and that's when metal man starts doing is jumping pattern let's see how it goes for streamline if he can manage to keep him there yeah he's got him locked down it's a note streamline does do a different route so he didn't just catch up an entire stage he's still got to do wood after this that's kind of a pick um whether you want to do wood or metal in this particular route the middle is a really straight for stage these tips are really fun and we are using item 2 to cross the into the end of the stage there pretty much we got all three items at the beginning of the route and using item 2 as much as we can just because it moves a little faster than Mega Man's running speed here we are writing item 2 across the first screen of bubbleman of a man is a flannel robot master stage here gonna have to deal with a lot of water physics coming up the runners are taking a slightly steeper variation of this stage just to make it more consistent yeah they're gonna be setting up the item one zip here but that item to zip at the end of the stage it doesn't save a lot of time looks really cool but honestly this is the means that that you need to go for it looks like the Rocky is in a good position to get it there he's got it VA triggers there can be trigger it but if you if you be triggering to earlier run into this white so you gotta be careful [Music] now bubble man himself has three different patterns he can give you the one bubble the to bubble over the three bubbles the more bubbles you get on screen the more lack there is so you gotta kind of just hope for that one bubble pattern let's see let's see what happens for a Zaraki [Music] Seifer is making making his way back into this thing [Music] he doesn't miss that a triggers if commentators first artistic and sweet have streamlined successfully doing the woods if as well bubble man down a trouble I was a robot masters down for a teen rush all right so this is where the game gets really scary these wily stages are not easy yeah we're gonna be seeing again just like the last game and the next game item management is going to come very important for the zips I don't want to make sure you want to make sure we don't run out so setting everything up and not wasting items can be really important the item 1 usage is especially critical just because of its potential and since your weapon energy does persist throughout the Wiley's the prepares are really gonna want to maximize the use of item 1 and make sure that they don't accidently waste away with this 3/3 bubble pattern but making out of a Romana rhythm master stages show her just behind them moving at O'Reilly one Iraqi is gonna try to de-spawn the egg from that bird but keep the bird on screen because it's gonna be spawn one of these toothpaste enemies live here and allow them to pass through this section without getting hit and he's gonna have to set up the first of two vertical zips in this stage the setups kind of tricky it takes three item ones to get yourself in the ceiling correctly this is a really scary section you can see the fairly good each would be a good I'll make sure you don't accidentally step out of bounds here look like good placement and coming up - I call them the nightmare jumps you can pretty much only cross this section with item ones but it takes so many items to get up here if you fall you lose them looks good but he doesn't like oh he's up he's on the alternate girls in his dress East Brewton teamwork [Music] and as the Rocky Soraka is just really a very consistent played throughout this run it's been impressive it's night for setting up another fast vertical zip here that is a huge death he is gonna get sent way far back he's gonna have to pick up some extra item one and just like that n roll takes the lead Seifer slow and steady man he's using those consistent strats hopefully he doesn't kiss the dragon the dragon takes 28 shots with the quick boomerang to defeat and if you touch the dragon it is an instant kill and there is enough stuff going on the screen that it causes a little bit of lag and you get knocked back further if you get hit so you pretty much cannot get hit while busting out those 28 shots to defeat the dragon looks like diapers in good shape here he's mashing down you drag it down [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so I asked cypher before the relay are you gonna revert to those really risky strats if your team is way behind he's like nope I'm sticking with a consistent stuff and it's really paid off for him here as you can say he is in the lead at this point going into wily to has streamline on Team Auto with an extremely fast vertical zip setup unfortunately gonna have to take a death and restart but anyone's gonna have taken attentional death sniper meanwhile setting up this zip here you're gonna a trait or a feature to this Oh a trigger didn't it didn't work so he's he's gonna take a death there but he's still okay because he did get a one-off Michael's gonna have to probably grab a weapon energy I think he already grabbed the weapon energy so he should be good here so the difference between a triggering and be triggering these zips if you the a trigger you have a four frame window which is fairly generous but the B trigger is like a fifteen frame window so you never see anybody miss that and our race just got a lot closer the team Rowland team rushed obsessively editing the vertical zip team feet in good position makes it as well [Applause] yes if we use our item to on the first stage we're all out and well you can actually use the item on the zip past that long spike section cipher with a really nice hallway they are avoiding all the drops I want to avoid getting bonked by the moles as well as trying to hope you get lucky and not get a whole bunch of drops in your way so those I probably the first one coming to the boss Piko Piko there's not any randomness to this boss it's a kind of extremely active track [Applause] and since all three of our runners are kind of getting to this slightly slow section while III is not not the most interesting stage I think we're gonna kick it back over to Etta beam for some donations all right we have a $5,000 donation from the Eddie donating for this amazing Megaman race dad upsell all the teams great job we also have a 300 dollar donation from mr. X I'm not sure why everyone is so angry at this wily fellow he seems completely trustworthy to me put this towards last team's choice we also have a $30 donation of from lightening saying glad to see the most hype event of the marathon good luck to all the runners the classic made community is one of the best out there if you like what you see get yourself speed running Colossus mega all right you guys go ahead and take it away all right so while e3 not a whole lot going on here this is kind of the calm before the storm while e4 is without question the most dangerous stage in this game so it's nice to kind of have a little respite you know get yourself prepared get yourself ready here you're just kind of avoiding the spikes and these guys will hopefully be getting as few jumps as possible when they go up against the guts tank yeah it'll take 14 shots to defeat the guts tank and its hitbox is really high up at the top of its head and it's just like that and they're out of the game over the one the ones small silver lining there is you do get all your ammo back so there's not gonna be any ammo issues and the stage is going forward 14 rush all right so guts tank how many jumps are we gonna do here let's see if we get the the three jump nice three jump in sniper [Applause] three jump pretties pretty standard what most people want to get in in this fight too is possible but very difficult so three is what we're typically looking for all right Wiley for this is it purple hell they call it and for good reason there's so much going on in this stage there's a lot of theft there's some item three drops you got to crash the door or the boss fights crazy it's all going down so let's see snipers up first he's gonna try to get this little met sick here gets it nice item three drop another item three drop can you get the final one yeah he's in good shape this is kind of like a revisiting clash man stage again with all these item three jumps little vertical zip here to skip this this spike section with the false boar executing it very nicely [Music] and finally threw you down fourteen rush nice always if they're by cypher so now there's these spiked grooms you gotta be careful it's team flavors get a little too aggressive in them sometimes but diaper looks to be okay there meanwhile we have team beat now not too far behind diapers through the second room so he's gonna take some intentional damage here and use his iframes they can get through this one pretty quickly [Music] he's good he's good attention to shoka's screen and shoka doing the shoka dance choko choko final zip hereby cypher you can auto was at this door and he's in [Applause] all right nice exit now he's gonna try to set up what's called a damage transfer so he's gonna take damage on a very specific spot and that's gonna set up some memory values that allow him to just run right into this view beam over here and just take it out and so he's done now all right very nice yeah just the combination of like notes properly setting up the zip to get into the boss room exiting the zip setting up the damage transfer it's all extremely precise a lot of a lot of tricky stuff just hacks together and we have a team beat moving into the boss room as well looks like a good entry good entry pay attention to cypher he's gonna take a different route in the refights than everybody else he's gonna fight here man first and if he gets a really good pattern he can get a one cycle air man which is crazy impressive he did not get it unfortunately so I'll have to fight him kind of a normal issue away there nice recovery though too round is great [Applause] team beat is through wily four-on-two reef lights and team rush right behind so not the best luck from a man therefore cipher but he's okay he's gonna go ahead and take that healthier so with him he's got to take some of the damage bites later on like quick man can usually do a lot of damage to and sometimes wood man if you don't get a great fight sake not quite getting that double with the crash bomb which means that he's going for the backup and yes he does have one crash bomb that's really important you do need to crash bombs for the wily machine at the end of refights if you're out of crouch crash bombs that really slows the fight down but ideally you have to and you can make a super fast fight streamline monty model also with a great lobby for zip there and entering the boss room Piper having pretty decent refights here he's got enough help really nice Club excellent bubble 35 all right and then there's the old high metal bi-metal alright flash man is also a piece of cake and moving into a widely machine here Seifer did manage to get out of wily for with both this crash bombs and on difficult mode this is the ideal way to defeat the boss and have thrown a few metal blades swish to clash and it's kind of a slice shot gets the first one looks good nice job machining down yeah you don't you don't actually want to hit machines hitbox with that you want to hit just below it so that the explosions deal all the damage as machine sort of floats back into it so really nicely done one final zip here for cipher you just got to get it lined up in the ceiling but this is another one of those situations where you cannot over zip the door so he's got to be careful and he's in expose to the door [Applause] all right snipers gotta close this out though do not hug the alien no matter what you do that thing will take like 80% of your health it's got to get in quite a few shots here it's off to a pretty good start he's got some area smashing going on there nice team role moving on to Megaman 3 and team roll frisbee is gonna cool count it through choke I got in trouble there a little bit his crash Brom was a little low and unfortunately didn't have health so he's gonna have to now go into this fight again with no crash bombs and a wily machine and it's projectiles do a lot of damage and the second form is almost impossible to dodge okay here we go Kristi's into Megaman 3 for Team roll and we're gonna see a very very dangerous route the fastest route in the game top first but incredibly dangerous yeah this is a route that has changed quite quite a few times it's been Magna force it's been Gemini first it's been top first [Applause] and coincidentally enough top first was the original Raptor one of the yeah yes yeah we always come full circle here we have full circle yet for sure so these cats have 10 HP it's really important that they can try to get as many of the shots at the peak of their jump because and you already high up there you'll want to pay attention to Prizzi's mashing it sky it's maybe a little bit off-camera there but he actually mashes with his teeth believe it or not and it works yeah we're trying to kill these cats in about three jumps if possible and like I said they had a lot of health so it's a little bit difficult and something to note the other three teams are all really close all of them getting the Wiley sticks it perfectly entering the alien fight just within about 10 or 15 SEC's of each other while a team roll here with prestige finishing up top man stage [Applause] so to note fastest in and fatso is in [Applause] Christie's got to be feeling good about his lead right now and these other three runners though right all right together right now so it's gonna be interesting to see what happens this this game like i said this route is very dangerous and we're gonna see that here very shortly on Christy's screen coming into the Shadowman stage with uh with the other two routes the reason why they were done was because you uh you got to have Magna missile for Shadow Man stage and that made the last room of the stage a very very easy taking care of the Paris news but however with this route you don't have that you only have topspin and so it's a very very scary room because as you'd make the jumps and kill the pair of shoes across Top Spin will also knock you backward so it makes the jumps even more scary because you have to actually jump further than you think you do here on the protoman fight this is just one of the notorious parts about Mega Man 3 proto man takes 28 shots in this instance I defeat and has no iframe so you just need to mash and jump for your life beautiful right wall kill they're moving into this dark room obviously the runners have done this so many times they know where the floors are not really that scary of a room because there's no spikes or anything however this game is heavily determined with a to get a good time in this game it's heavily determined by movement you notice now we have this slide and that's why laughs it takes about a third of a second for a slide to complete and here Christie's into this section now I was talking about with these pair of C's taking it a little bit careful he knows he's got the lead no reason to take a death Wow good all right frizzy frizzy got to be feeling pretty good getting through that room but the slide is a huge factor in this game since you have to slide manually obviously yourself there's a little bit of human error involved with every single prep and so even dropping a single frame between every slide adds up to be a lot of time loss so these runners want to be as fast as possible at wide chaining as they go through a lot of these rooms and this is definitely anybody's raced at this point as you mentioned the the movement is what's key here I mean just being able to optimize that sliding but I think really at this point there's nothing broken that these guys can do anymore I mean there's gonna be one small zip in Gemini but overall it's not like there's like these huge sips or anything crazy it's like they just have to execute flat-out yeah you like you mentioned there's gonna be a very small zip coming up but a bigger thing coming up is the another sort of a little visit here from protoman getting up this Gemini man stage we get to see some of the just intense movement and execution that Joni was talking about Mega Man 3 I feel is characterized by a lot of these just long screams that are packed with enemies and severally the enemies have a lot of HP so it's much different than Mega Man 1 and 2 and how its kind of designed and by sliding into this screen transition where protoman normally is in jumping out of the slide you don't actually get to see that cutscene and furthermore the music actually doesn't change back to the stage song nice getting the night resistor probably the only zip you're gonna see in this run but it does save two seconds so yeah so now you notice there's no music and yeah that actually saves quite a bit of time because the music actually adds the lag so by despawning it yeah we won't we won't have too many issues especially in this last room here this is the most notorious room of jam and I there's a lot of little single blocks and we want to try obviously to slide on as many as possible and something about the slide in this game is you can't jump out of it for eight frames so about a sixth of a second and so these single blocks are very scary because you want to land on the far left side as possible and you see Christie actually taking it a little bit carefully there since some of his landings were a little bit scary so really nicely done to get through that room yeah great job that's another one of those terrifying rooms and you know once once you get through the first three stages of rock man 3 you kind of get a little bit of a relief a little bit of a break so he's got to be pretty happy with his execution so far but [Applause] first I'd be a little bit careful okay Oh Christy was on six health fair so getting hit by a Gemini would have killed him so very scary as he was barreling down on him the lead increases 14 roll yeah now that he's out of Gemini he's got to be brute and breathing a sigh of relief we're heading now to go get needle and jet which are gonna be very helpful in skipping like the oak blocks in magnet stage as well it's also a really short stage it's really sort of strange how short to stage really is actually so they call this one Friedel yeah that's what I've heard so uh Casio on TV Auto having to watch that little cutscene there now the time loss is one thing but now this now the game is gonna be a little bit glad year than it would be without the music so we'll have to compensate that for all the really type one tile wide slide jumps in the second half here yeah cuz even though you can like I said yeah we can jump out of a slide after eight frames but the leg will add to that so it might end up being you know 11 frames if you get three like frames in there as well enemy mesmerize like specific timings for the slide jumps on every little block on that screen yeah he does have a backup option here though since they've already defeated Shadow Man he has rush marine which he could also use him if he if he wants to here and he's doing it there it is faster with a beautiful beautiful yeah fast the crushing that room also just really nicely done again trying to kill some of the enemies with Shadowblade just to reduce some of that leg again here we go jumping rush Murray [Applause] hands for the fans and he's through meanwhile pretty having a really good needle fight so he is just keeping the pace here got so also in this single block room yeah we didn't really mention it because we were watching oh we were watching all these Gemini stages we didn't really mention it but it's really important since we fight needle man with the laser Gemini laser is a very very rare bad weapon to miss with and thankfully prissy had a good fight so yeah after defeating a needle man stage which is the fourth robot master you get awarded the rush jet and looks like he's alright yeah he's good room makes you hold your breath every single time so yeah we're into snake there's a lot of jet usage here in snake now for example youyou saw it a little bit earlier and you're super gonna see it again here coming up that they can skip the mini-bosses by just flying right over top of them so Percy has already done one of us he's coming up to another meanwhile we'll actually get to talk maybe a little bit when fast that's coming up to his needle man fight here very shortly sort of about how like the Gemini laser can really be if you miss hopefully we don't see any other runners have that happen yeah definitely that one and take man's weapon you get really laggy yeah it's weird because jiménez weapon is actually made up of three separate sprites which is why it's so tasking on the console here we go good fight best pattern - nice so checking out a prissy on team role here jumping multiple times kind of on rush you can prevent the weapon energy from reducing allowing allowing you to just ride rush much further also something note this is the first appearance of rush jet or Russian general rush it is extremely versatile and Mega Man 3 especially compared to the later Mega Man games you have like free movement in all directions it's a really great addition Kristie getting the best pattern was Nate he gets a little button making copy something we haven't mentioned yet but a lot of these boss fights these boss fights are wrote in a way to try to kill the bosses as close to the center as possible sometimes it's not always possible but we always try to and the other thing is just like Mega Man X but you saw earlier in the week once you kill the boss you cannot move Mega Man will just walk to get the weapon get animation there after the fanfare ends so you kind of have to just be as close to the center as well so that you're limiting some of that downtime and Megaman 3 is in a way like the most demanding in that respect or requires both Megaman and defeating the boss to be done in the center in this frame but here we are moving into magnet man stage on prissy screen starting off with a lot of proto can't fight again take a look at that that camera to see his wonderful national technique another Pony Gods ladies and gentleman oh it's such a fast film that's very hard to do yeah killing him before he turns around and face his left and starts going the other way is really hard to do so really impressive he's done it again again you're gonna see oh he gets the dunk that's actually a very precise flag very precise jump there and squeezes in a single tile gap but this is the big reason again why a top first and Gemini first have an advantage over magnet first you get jet for this room and you don't have to play any of these yoku puzzles you just fly right over top it is still faster to lose rush there though because you can get a couple slides in I'm still you stuff why they do the the last couple they're the team role just really really consistent so far throughout this relay maintaining the lead these other teams are definitely keeping pace with each other but we're gonna have to do something special to catch up to team roll at this point yeah stall the play you know now that all the runners are out of Gemini they got to be breathing OH team SEO is going for it all that that probably stays about a second total or something like that going yeah you save a decent amount of time actually by canceling rush early you can get some of those single block slides and it's very difficult to get underneath that one couple of those cloud bullets and wow that's that's something that was not expecting to see some very impressive I was incredible not not a race friendly strap there and moving in a hard man stage yet to be quite honest these last four robot masters the order can be switched up just a little bit we really just wanted to get a rush jet and magnet and Shadowblade yeah not a whole lot of danger in this stage Hardman there's you know not really pits or spikes or any of that kind of stuff the boss plate is fairly straightforward you're gonna be taking some damage though so you just need to make sure you maintain over over 12 HP throughout the course of the stage and you're usually good to go down there you do have this kind of an awkward proto man fight in this stage as well with an arena that kind of has a strange terrain it could be difficult to take them out but the runners will probably be switching to two magnet missiles to be kind of complementing the damage on that flight here there's a lot of really annoying enemies than Hardman stage the monkeys they have a lot of HP these MEK dozers their hit boxes are really strange and that the the one kind of floats in front of the the dam the one that you can damage kind of like gets blocked a bit and sometimes you can shoot it right in the head and still not get a hit in so fast I had a really nice fight there Vaughn magnet got a good pattern and was able to get a nice dinner kill it's actually not you know typically normal I think does see people fight magnet with shadow blade but it is a secondary weakness that also does the same amount of damage as spark shot so it's just more it's a more ideal weapon to fight them with just because you can throw shadow blade upward as well in case the magnet gives you a jump we're gonna see that actually hard man fight by Christiaan team roll man hard man does kind of stone you when he when he hits the ground but if you take damage at the right time you can keep sneak to deal damage to him and that was just an excellent fight didn't miss any shots yeah it's it's quite a lot of damage like since they're alluded to earlier about how you want to have more than 12 health because he does 6 damage with his body and you need to take two hits one so you can be inside of his hitbox and the second one to get you hit out of the stuns so it's kind of a scary fight if you're second-guessing your health then you're coming into the room [Music] Christie is already into spark now this is his last robot master of the 8 this is a really straightforward stage just a couple of well-timed slide jumps and reducing lag you want to get rid of most of these enemies like almost as soon as they appear just kind of a common theme in this game to be quite honest and the use of the magnet missile here is just such a powerful weapon it's once you've gotten it you want to switch it as much as possible to take down to the trash enemies around here going up for that met dozer kill again magnet you actually if you kill everything in your path you actually don't have enough magnet to do this stage but now they actually changed it up where they're starting to switch to shadow and killing more than one of these junk blocks the area but about to see him kill a couple and so they actually switched a shadow earlier than normal it's a little bit newer strat and then they're already on the weapon that they need for the spark man fight so it's perfect into this last elevator room it's actually very consistent there's only a couple single block slides there but Christie's through very easy Oh an excellent proto man killed on a Casio screen there first thing gets the best pattern to [Applause] so pretty will be our first player heading into the doc robot stages where they're actually gonna refight the bosses we just saw in Mega Man 2 I believe all of our players are gonna be taking the same route here you don't it at this point you have all your weapons that the routing doesn't really matter but I believe they're gonna go Gemini first here Gemini being the probably the hardest of the doc robot stages so it's kind of just like just get out of the way so you can feel a little bit more comfortable as you progress through the rest of them now the doc robot stages are kind of like the unique touch on Rockman 3 from here on out in the series there's a few extra stages kind of in between the robot master stages in the wily stages saying this is it's pretty interesting so you can cut sort of replay for the previous levels just with a slight variation on it using most of the same enemies and with a special visit from our Rockman 2 bosses being placed inside the doc robot machines pretty interesting and a really nice first first screen there for Christie those magnet missiles that room looks really good when you fire them in the right spots and missiles just do all the work for you and he's gonna be coming up to the first boss here gonna be fighting flash man it's actually one of the few reasons that they are playing on the rock man version the flash man fight is just a little bit faster as you'll see his his flash is very quick and I believe he can even get a flash list plate is that right show me yeah if you can if you can get your movement really good and jump over him oh he doesn't get the first hit in but he does get the jump over top and gets a nice Center kills so pretty nice pretty nice bite they're one of the few actual gameplay differences to note between rock band 3 and Mega Man 3 him that uh in that flash man fight but his time stopper always stops you for just a very small amount of time in the rock band free version it's a little frizzy taking a death but he's got enough of a buffer that he's got a fairly solid lead and bass the TC he's kind of been separating himself from the other players there and he's gonna be heading into his first doc robot stage now things are getting interesting yeah so what happened there basically is if you try to supply it again before your previous slide has finished you actually jump in this game and so unfortunately Percy tried to chain a slide a little bit too close together and accidentally jumped and then his iframes wore off so something in that room that can be very very scary is mistiming a slide but nailed at the second time so really nicely done nice job there and he'll be taking on a bubbleman this time so just like when we saw it before you can get out of the one two or three bubble pattern your oven for one bubble reduce that lag looks like it to you bubble yeah these dr. robots are pretty much identical to their megaman 2 counterparts with some small exceptions of the larger hitbox and a couple of them do a slightly different contact damage but besides that their eyes are also identical all right let's see if Christie gets a trick here all right yeah yeah there it is the music beep he's gone so yeah so again we're desponding the music but this time we're doing it in a slightly different and probably to most people more scary way basically what we're doing is we're dying on the exact same frame that we transition the screen but the game doesn't really register that you've died because you're transitioning but it still plays the death sound and that actually stops the music and again this is a decent time save again desponding the music about a two and a half second time save so really important this setup is very consistent the one that firstly used there look like the ohan setup Slee really nicely done CC approaching the end of the stage here a little short on health but it hopefully won't matter yeah bubble does only due to damage with a bullet and he's just a lunatic I don't blame him at all meanwhile proceed mashing with those team right there yeah a big theme of this game becomes a damage boosting becomes a very very helpful thing for a lot of the fight so first he's in the same sort of room that we saw in shadow earlier except this one has a few more enemies we were hoping for a couple magnet drops there he only got one that looks like so okay watch watch this cool little thing Oh a little little sprite glitch there it looks pretty cool so again yeah heat man again with the 30-60-90 patterns something that's neat though well Percy didn't get there oh and unfortunately didn't get it you can get a double hit on heat man and I'm sure we're gonna see it from for sure one of the runners but if you hit heat man on the frame he comes out of his charge he won't go back into it another charge it won't register that you were head you were hitting him and so you can hit him a second time again once his eye frames drop getting a double hit so thankfully though even though Kristy did not get the double hit he got a very very decent pattern from heat some some shorter some shorter charge cycles [Music] so moving into a doc needle I find this stage pretty interesting in for the most part all the doctor robot stages since we have all the robot master weapons these stages can kind of be designed to use those weapons particularly the rush rush coil flow rush jet particularly and in this doc needle there's this long rush jet section that I find out pretty interesting I just across the entire page they make any mistakes though they do have to come back and that will waste quite a bit of time first up we're gonna have air man here he's got those saving for five patterns but this time you have a slide so if you get one of the bad patterns in Mega Man 2 it's actually a good pattern here and that is the one he gets that you can slide under those tornados and just not fair just mash him out nice really nice [Applause] so this Paris new section that Percy is coming into now again flying on jet you want to kind of jump off again sort of like duckfist mentioned earlier D spawning your sprite off the top of the screen which is great but you see these dragonflies if you're off the top of the screen they try to go to the very bottom and then they track they try to track you and then come back but if you can make them go low enough you can actually despawn them off the side of the screen and prestige nailing these these spawns getting a lot of them and again reducing enemies on the screen or reduced it to like so I I don't think he missed a single one there that was really good furthermore it's possible to actually hit enemies on the bottom of the screen by jumping too high off the top at the wrong time and that could be quite quite annoying but no issues here no best and since he did have a pretty good eat fight so he's getting a little to the ground there this is one of the few times you're gonna actually see well the only time really you're gonna see hard knuckle really used outside of the top top manry refight and you kind of because hard knuckle is a really slow weapon you kind of just want to like shoot it above crash and then he'll just jump into it crash man moves a lot faster than the hard knuckle so you might as well utilize his feed ad to your advantage getting away from them a little bit there but [Applause] fastest CC not getting a very good pattern yes Christie's heading to his last dock stage this stage I know gave a lot of people problems just because quick man is at the end and like duckfist mentioned he's one of those bosses that deals a lot more contact damage in this game vs megaman 2 does eight damage with his body so since they usually get there without full health blocks please since they do get there without full health that fight can be pretty scary however the boomerangs still don't deal very much so they want to try to take damage off those instead and plus the combination of a much larger hitbox quite nasty quick man quick man dr. robot is by far the scariest doctor a lot [Music] again metal is kind of nice that magnets track him so the only real randomness to that fight is sort of based on his his height jumps Christie he looked like you might have actually tried to go for another audio despawn there unfortunately didn't get it that one's a lot scarier because if you do die trying to get that one before hitting the transition you have not hit the checkpoint yet and you'll have to redo the entire beginning of the stage and bite metal man again so not worth ya in a race it's not really what you want but again if you can get it it saves a little over a second so all right so it's time for the snakes yes you can fight them with Gemini or snake most people just go with snake because it's easier to control because if you miss with Gemini all havoc can break loose who taking a body head early yeah those body hits deal about eight damage which looks like that Wow he's got to be careful he cannot afford to take another hit purpose the game team role is a first team onto the wily stages doing a dude doing a really nice job making sure he hits the the the boomerangs so one more break man fight before the wily stages this would be a good time for some more donations a tow beam if you've got them and boy do we we have a one thousand dollar donation from mr. cab sixty-eight saying good luck to the runners let's go team roll we have a seven hundred and fifty one dollar donation from an a Patel who says match shoutouts to all the runners I'm an orthopedic surgeon and all the skills I've seen this week put in - shame you guys provide a lot of hope and joy to many people sinister1 when are you gonna run we also got a $50 donation from the B v1g Nastya says may Man 3 is one of my favorite games of all time and that title theme hits me in the nostalgia every time I had to donate during this relay we also have a thirty five dollar donation from Matthew that says super fighting robot Megaman Christie gets a really nice the slide across the spikes there you want to take damage off the little penguins so that you can get the double slide and really nicely done there so this boss has a lot of RNG if person gets a bad pattern he can lose up to 13 seconds versus the fastest probably possible path pattern you're gonna want to notice which way the turtle is moving or sorry the comic our maker is moving right is good left is bad yeah the turtles will always come out of the maker in the same pattern they'll go left right right left right but the maker will go left or right and we want to we want to see right movements like that right there and that's a really good tear that's the better want you sort it's like about an average pack yeah mediocre luck mediocre and in the meantime both team rush and team Auto moving on to the wily stages hurdle fatso on Team B finishing up the doc robots as well here so Whitely to is a kind of interesting stage because this is the only stage i mean unless you count while eight five and six but this is the only stage that doesn't actually have a checkpoint so if they die to the yellow devil in some form they will have to do the entire stage again this fight has a quick kill the idea is to try to take damage boosts in a very specific position so that you are right underneath the eye and you can jump straight up and just mash shadow blades straight up into his eyeball take ten shadow blades to kill them missing it in one cycle costs you 18 seconds so it's really critical to try to get that easy devil let's see it does he kind of get some practice smashes in there nice first jump you II see every time [Music] so we're in a while e3 this stage again pretty straightforward I have a feeling we're gonna see something pretty special here coming up though in the moving block rooms right after the checkpoint so watch Christie screen when he gets to those ones you're gonna see maybe something pretty unique right in the next room so there's a way that you can do a wiggle zip and and make it about a half second faster but incredibly dangerous he got the zip that obviously it doesn't kill you but you don't really save any time with it awesome job he also did something to the bomb that I didn't mention yet so this game typically doesn't allow you to pause when you have a weapon on screen however for whatever reason it doesn't check for your rush shops and your and for any weapon that you have with rush so when you shoot a rush bullet and then switch to a different weapon that bullet will take on the properties so basically what happened is is he switched to topspin which is the weakness for the hologram robot and since topspin has a piercing type property it hit him every single frame that the bullet was inside and just basically insta kills and it's it's a really fast kill Brizzy on into the refights the slight variation here you're gonna want to end the flight on the left-hand side of the screen near the teleporter there as you just saw he did so the strategies are actually a little bit different because of that and there's also a few opportunities to use different weapons than we were doing the robots initially Casio crushes he also well we'll see if fatso goes for this zip as well I know he talked about it [Music] all four teams with the yellow devil quick go don't so fast I've had a kind of scary fight there because you want to try to get more than five hits on the first jump you have the most amount of time in the first jump to get as many hits as possible the second jump you have less time so only getting five hits a little personal first appearance of the nough do a laser on team roll yeah showing why you don't want to miss the shot yeah that laser just will bounce around forever until it finally will go off screen it feels like forever anyway nice fight there on needle [Music] that's CC making his way into the refights so Percy's health is a little too low he can't take a hit from magnets to take him out of that pattern so he's got to wait wait best friend so Christie story by two stages to go [Applause] now coming up here on the on Wylie machine 3 this is kind of an interesting fight using the search snakes since there's so much lag caused by some projectiles and sprites in this game you're gonna we're gonna see proceed throw at least one search snake here and jump and use that lag to actually mash out as many shots as possible on the top form here yeah we jumped a little early unfortunately Shadowblade a nice fight so the next stage is the final stage so time will be coming up for Team roll in about 30 to 40 seconds here not much to say really about this fight other than first phase shadowblade second phase either topspin or snake depending on what the runner wants to do it's faster to do a snake kill because it's a faster menu but you have to mash snakes whereas topspin it'll basically one-shot and similar to the hologram robot but they get ready on time per team roll [Applause] and Chrissie finishing it off in style for Team role they're mashing it out the snakes Oh FASTA on Team rush getting there fast Wylie machine three bill yeah we're looking great job there by team roll wow what a what an impressive finish really consistent play just across all three games very solid performance faster coming into his final fight here with gamma so again time will be coming up for Team Rush [Music] [Music] and [Music] something to note here you might want to watch team beat right now fatso is gonna do this kill without shooting leg snakes so because you have no leg this fight is this that that fight is a lot harder without the leg snakes you have to mash a lot faster and really impressive mashing there by him it's seven shots I believe to get one jump which is not ideal at all that's that's pretty tough time is going to be coming up here for team Auto here as well as team beef [Music] and [Applause] time for GP [Applause] excellent runs excellent job by all our teams there's an amazing performance we are gonna actually have an interview in a little bit with the team captain so you can hear a little bit from them they're calling for the rematch already all right for now we're gonna throw it back over to eddo beam thank you so much guys and once again give around the heads to our commentators sinister Charlie and Ike this an amazing job welcome guys to awesome games done quick 2018 I am in ok I'm gonna go ahead and read a couple of donations since we didn't get to go through a couple of them
