OK, I'll be the one to ask.
What's going on with this new manuever? Is there a precise frame to jump off of the ladder that allows Rock to defy all physics?

When you press UP at a ladder while being too high to actually climb it, you'll end up somewhat above the ladder. Pressing UP+DOWN at the top of the ladder bears the same consequence.
If it is a wall there... well, there you go.
There's one dilemma though: Killing Elecman using Guts weapon takes about 8 seconds, whereas killing him using the basic weapon takes 31 seconds. This is a major problem which only appears if Elecman level is played before Cut/Guts levels.
If using the magnet beam in Gutsman level saves 23 seconds over a non-magnet-beam version of Gutsman level, this plan works. The lift sequence saves about 13 seconds.
I tested out the Gutsman level using magnet beam.
As the result, I ended up saving 26 seconds in that level compared to the previous movie.
I needed to save 23 seconds, so this new strategy appears indeed profitable. I'll continue this way. :)
Here is a FCM that demonstrates the playing of the Gutsman level. https://files.tasvideos.org/bisqwit/bisqwit-rockmanv6-incomplete-with-gutsman-demo.fcm
The movie contains the Elecman level I previously linked, appended by the Gutsman level.
The interesting bit is how I use the magnet beam to move downwards faster than just falling free.
The actual movie will continue to the Iceman level instead of the Gutsman level.
I can't seem to load the bisqwit-rockmanv6-incomplete-with-gutsman-demo.fcm in my FCE Ultra. The Rockman.fcm worked fine though. Really amazing glitch you've got there. :)
I'm aiming for at least 30 seconds of improvement, but even 50 might be possible...
So far, I have worked out 16 seconds of improvement in 3 levels (of which 2 are played), but I need to redo Iceman because it can be improved by a few seconds more.
WOW! Thats something. When one thought you had a pretty unbeatable time earlier. :D
This will be sooooo cool. Stash up with coffee now Bisqwit, because if I caught you sleeping, I will lash you with my 9-tailed whip. ;)
I expect to see the new movie in the middle of next week, latest. Bwahahah. J/K man. Good luck.
Once you finish with this rockman run, are you going to go to rockman2? I've been waiting to see this rerun for like a year! (hasn't it been out about that long?)

No, apparently Finalfighter is doing it. And he's less busy than Morimoto, so he might actually complete it. :P

Hasn't Morimoto already done the largest part of the Rockman 2 run? I think that last time I checked his site, it said that he only had to do Wood Man and the Wily stages. I figure it's possible to link everything together once you've made the individual runs.

Morimoto has done until the Metal Man level, and Finalfighter is considering publishing that movie, as an option. But he won't apparently do it without Morimoto's permission.
And no, Rockman 1 and 2 are hell for trying to copypaste things together.
When I tried to do that in Rockman 1, I found out that Rockman would sometimes miss a jump or platform by 1 pixel 20 seconds later from the point where the copypaste occured. (Adjusting 1 frame to direction or the other would have made it desync immediately at the point of pasting.)
