Faster, more glitchy. Yes from me. Still love that Insta-win against Wiley. About the bugs: Since this game has what, 12 different weapons, It's hard to properly test all possible situations.
When TAS does Quake 1, SDA will declare war. The Prince doth arrive he doth please.

(1) Do you mean second attack to boss is not fastest? It delays bit to take damage for active Counter Attacker. (2) I'll check it later. (3) I couldn't get weapon energy from Eddie. Perhaps, it doesn't drop weapon energy.

(1) Takes damage -> attack delays -> late for non-invincible time. Damage from boss is faster than other place. (2) The ceiling is too short to use trick. Moreover, I have to get weapon energy from rabbit. (3) Even if I can get weapon energy form Eddie, it is not fast. Because, Eddie's work is enough long too, necessary attack frequency can't be reduced.

http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/313641172/RnF_king2_ceiling.smv If it is possible to go this route without pause, it may be faster. Sliding under the ceiling trick without pause is very difficult, it rarely succeeds. I don't understand accuracy condition for use it. Actually, I couldn't use it only once. (in Tengu Man level) Normally, M.Card can't be used to recover other weapons energy. Because, it is impossible to change to other weapons until return M.Card.

woabclf, do you think you can make a small WIP to demonstrate a possible improvement in the King 2 tank fight? That may help clarify what you mean. Anyway, nice job again with improving this run. It looks very polished. Yes vote. Do you have any plans to improve the current Forte run?
Used to be a frequent submissions commenter. My new computer has had some issues running emulators, so I've been here more sporadically. Still haven't gotten around to actually TASing yet... I was going to improve Kid Dracula for GB. It seems I was beaten to it, though, with a recent awesome run by Hetfield90 and StarvinStruthers. (http://tasvideos.org/2928M.html.) Thanks to goofydylan8 for running Gargoyle's Quest 2 because I mentioned the game! (http://tasvideos.org/2001M.html) Thanks to feos and MESHUGGAH for taking up runs of Duck Tales 2 because of my old signature! Thanks also to Samsara for finishing a Treasure Master run. From the submission comments:
Shoutouts and thanks to mklip2001 for arguably being the nicest and most supportive person on the forums.

I feel like seeing your demonstration, too. I'll certainly appreciate that.
<klmz> it reminds me of that people used to keep quoting adelikat's IRC statements in the old good days <adelikat> no doubt <adelikat> klmz, they still do

Though it's similar to the previous submission, it's still entertaining to watch the entire run. It's just more glitchy this time. Voting yes!

The first stages are okay; from Burner Man's stage onwards it gets EPIC. And when the graphic glitching begins, ... it gets even better. In short, my vote for this movie is the following average (yes + more than yes + more than more than yes) / 3

Could somebody please clarify why this submission is in the "Needs more info" stage? Are improvements happening?

Only this run doesn't have "Genre: Action" tag. Why?

Something I noticed recently: Why are we calling these games by the English name, but the branches/characters by their Japanese names? Right now we have publications listed like 'Mega Man & Bass "Rockman"', which just seems weird and inconsistent. If we are calling the game "Mega Man & Bass", then the characters would logically also be referred to as "Mega Man" and "Bass", instead of "Rockman" and "Forte" as they are currently.
http://www.youtube.com/Noxxa <dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

Good point... honestly either it is always English or it is always the original name. But if it is always original name, a lot of it will be in Japanese, lol. I dunno. Edit: I think this should be a new topic of discussion.

since the game only has japanese releases on the console,i believe it should all be japanese,right? there is no snes megaman and bass
I want all good TAS inside TASvideos, it's my motto. TAS i'm interested: Megaman series, specially the RPGs! Where is the mmbn1 all chips TAS we deserve? Where is the Command Mission TAS? i'm slowly moving away from TASing fighting games for speed, maybe it's time to start finding some entertainment value in TASing.

I changed the branches to "Mega Man" as well as "Bass" for the sake of consistency.
