A video review / walkthrough / showoff video of the original Mega Man (NES), with retrospective audio commentary.
Part 1 of 4: Guts Man, Cut Man, and Elec Man.
Highlights include an impressive run of Guts Man stage, an explanation of why Guts Man's weapon is effective against Cut Man, getting to Cut Man without being hit and improvising in the fight against him, skillful dodging on ladders, and a minor-yet-fun glitch involving a throwable block.

Anyone else binging all the old Gemini laser playthroughs? Been a long time since I watched these last.

@Daniel_Coffman 3 месяца назад

I occasionally pop in to binge a little bit, too, when there's nothing new to watch like right now, lol. I miss his playthroughs, too. But, I get why he's no longer doing anything, of course. I'm busy all the time, myself, so I certainly know how it is.

@Wyldephang 11 лет назад

Great point! For me, the Genie was essential to preserving the physical state of my favorite games. Especially against the infamous Yellow Devil, when defeat seemed imminent, I would respond to my anguish by yanking the cartridge out of the console and chewing at the plastic and label. At five years old, I knew no better method of instant catharsis. Twenty years later, I'm left with dented NES cartridges, a devaluated collection, and crooked teeth. You win again, Yellow Devil!

@KingRichet 11 лет назад

@legendariosoul 11 лет назад

It's good to watch ALL of Gemini Lazor from the beginning ...

@VideoGameAnimationStudy 12 лет назад

I like the similarities between Cut Man and Mega Man in a lot of different media. In the Hitoshi Ariga manga they are the same base model and can swap the Rush Jet adapter suit, and even in this first game, Mega Man and Cut Man seem to be the only two Robot Masters who recoil when they are damaged! Such great little details!

@TheDustifiable1986 11 лет назад

You show off more in later videos, but I still love your humor in this video

@keaton5101 7 лет назад

One thing i love about mega man 1 is the theming with the bosses. Later games have robot masters just for the sake of strong guys you have to fight, but in mega man 1 it's very clear that these are Strong versions of Mega Man. None of them are really physically big, save for gutsman, but they still manage to be intimidating because their default weapon is so much better than yours. that really contributes to the theme of mega man getting stronger over the course of the game

@namingisdifficult408 7 лет назад

Keaton agreed. This sort of also carries over to 2, 4, and to less of an extent 6.

@keaton5101 7 лет назад

yeah, in 4-6, the robot masters are a lot less meaningful, especially when you compare the weapons they give you to the destructive power of the mega buster. the special weapons stop being important and start being sort of a backup for specific situations of course in 6 they sort of improved that, but i was mostly using jet adaptor at that point anyways

@linuslindkvist4671 8 лет назад

Oh wow, you seriously deserve so much more views/credit than this. You have a few basic ingredients that many gaming videos lack; you have a crisp and clear voice which makes it really easy to understand you (for people like me who's first language isn't English). You also have a lot of humour and knowledge about the series. This combined with you being very professional and staying away from bad language makes your videos a real treat. Many RU-vidrs today seem to have a bad mouth on them as part of their "act" but with you it seems like this is just you talking to us while playing, not really acting at all. I know this is an old video, but please keep them coming!

@GeminiLaser 8 лет назад

Thank you very much! I suspect I'd get more views if I uploaded videos more often; sometimes a couple months can go by before I'm able to post something, and many viewers aren't patient enough to stick around for more. Still, I'm glad to hear you enjoy my style! I appreciate your kind words (and honestly, I never would have guessed that English isn't your first language).

@linuslindkvist4671 8 лет назад

+GeminiLaser Well, I'm from Sweden but we have a great educational system which teaches English from 1st grade (at least in my school), as well as loads of English tv-series etc. so we are priviliged in Sweden. Most people know at least basic English here :)

@logan_graal 4 года назад

listening to Nathaniel's voice makes me remember younger days. i watched all his videos that were out back to back and anticipated Megaman 7 videos more than any before. which is kinda wacky.

@ChaosSilver25 11 лет назад

When you think about it, between stages is where you would end up after getting a game over anyway, so still pretty much a legit runthrough

@juanjo141984 11 лет назад

A mi tambien me gustan mucho todos los megaman de NES 1,2,3,4,5,6 y de snes el 7, X, X2, y el X3 son excelentes!! Tus videos son geniales!! Saludos desde El Salvador!! :D

@Ragitsu 14 лет назад

In that case, I am glad to meet another player of the hobby that's also into Mega Man.

@hoodedman6579 3 года назад

Fire kills the Picket Men in one hit; I only know about this because of the Legacy Collection's challenge mode, as going to Fire before Guts is really weird.

@Skelpolu 12 лет назад

Back then when I really had NO idea what the NES and the Mega Man Series is ( I am 16 right now, no wonder, eh? ) and I started Mega Man 1 for the first time, I started with Cut Man, just for the fact that he is the one who is automatically selected when you load the Stageselect-Screen for the first time ( not sure if he's the first one everytime ) so Cut Man became the most nostalgic Robotmaster in the Mega Man universe for me.

@supermajorabros 14 лет назад

I remember I got Megaman on VC and tried Cutman's stage 1st. I spent about 2 HOURS getting to and beating Cutman and then FINALLY beat him with one tiny bar of health left. So the weapon fell and one of his boomerangs came back and hit me as I was about to reach the weapon and I had no lives left so I was really willing to throw the Wiimote through the TV.

@RoninCatholic 10 лет назад

Rolling Cutter is also really good against Bomb Man.

@LeKornorBros 5 лет назад

In the original Mega Man, you can play levels as many times as you want. I played Elec Man's level twice, in a one playthrough, without Super Arm. First time I just played a level, and the second time I returned to get Magnet Beam by using Thunder Beam. I wen't for Guts Man afterwards.

@akenero3369 10 лет назад

@aaron75fy 7 лет назад

@JaiLeafe225 10 лет назад

I always start with Fire Man because his weapon is really useful against lots of enemies.

@GeminiLaser 9 лет назад

That's one of the reasons I tend to start with him as well!

@superior152 13 лет назад

personally, i use to start out with cutman, until i got annoyed about having to go back to electman's stage for the magnetbeam and losing lives just 4 the weapon. this is why now i take on guts man first, you can do decent dammage to him with the buster and take him out, the only setback is if you dont know how to dodge his attack very well cause you keep getting stunned by the vibrations he makes when he stomps the ground, then your more than likley to die.

@SonicRainbow 9 лет назад

This is about the upteenth time I've watched all your Megaman Playthroughs, each time I've watched up to the latest ep you had out, (i found out about you when you were still making MM6 episodes through RU-vids recommended video thing). The reason I watch through these a lot is because of the perky and silly commentary as well as the silly offbeat things that you do. I have a lot of issues right now and whenever I feel down I like to watch these playthroughs, because even though I know a lot of what he's going to say or do, it's just the way he speaks or reacts to situations and just the general silliness that cheers me up a bit.

@GeminiLaser 9 лет назад

Awesome! I'm glad you enjoy the videos, and that they're a source of good cheer. Stay tuned; unless absolutely everything falls apart or my perfectionism gets the better of me, you should have the first MM7 bonus video within the next two weeks, with another one hot on its heels. And even though I'm basically a stranger, you're always welcome to reach out to me via PM or e-mail if you need somebody to talk to; I know what it's like to have a lot to deal with, and the more people you have supporting you in some capacity, the easier it gets.

@SkipperTheSuperGamer 12 лет назад

Ya know, Mega Man 1 is my personal favorite out of the 6 NES games. Anyone else in the same boat as me? (I highly doubt it)

@HunterVS 10 лет назад

If i remember correct you can also destroy the blocks Guts Man's weapon picks up and throws, with Elec Man's Elec Beam

@GeminiLaser 9 лет назад

That's right!

@HunterVS 9 лет назад

yay!

@orktv4673 9 лет назад

And - on time - happy sixth anniversary on RU-vid, GeminiLaser! Let's hope you will not get eliminated for years to come!

@GeminiLaser 9 лет назад

Fooled you! My sixth anniversary was on February 28th, according to my About page. This video is actually a higher quality reupload of the original version, which has since been deleted, hence the later posting date. But thanks just the same!

@Jerkwad152 9 лет назад

Probably 90% of what kills me in Mega Man 1 isn't the robot masters or enemies, but the stage hazards. Plus the controls feel kind of sloppy compared to the later ones. I still like it though, and without it, we wouldn't have 2-7(I don't talk about 8 :D ).

@GeminiLaser 9 лет назад

Heh. The control is a little slippery, to be sure, but it's also way better than most of the other platformers of its time. We're just spoiled because the controls are PERFECT later in the series. The stage hazards in this game mean business, a lot more so than most of the other games'.

As good a reason as any!

@KingRichet 11 лет назад

well I think it fits here since mm1 is probably the most unplayed mm of the NES. For me personally mm7 is also a new arena since I never could bear more than the neverending intro(+intro stage)+1 robot master stage :D

@Wyldephang 11 лет назад

No harm, no foul. A lot of RU-vid LPers use save states to simulate a "perfect run," but their efforts end up looking rehearsed and inauthentic, lacking any spontaneity or color. Save states are not inherently evil, though. Here, you used them to expedite the recording process, and I don't see anything wrong with that! Good run, either way. When I was younger, I used a Game Genie to get through this game; it's nice to watch someone play through it without cheat chodes.

@dakotamellon7614 10 лет назад

Yay! cutman got i a hit! my rant about megaman classic games told you its one f my favorite bosses!

@GeminiLaser 9 лет назад

He's just that good.

@BigScaryGames 8 лет назад

Wow, really great pacing with the dialogue. Not having the luxury of chopping up the video to match your narration must have made planning and executing on your voice-over really challenging. :)

@GeminiLaser 8 лет назад

Thank you! It took a lot of trial and error to figure out the best way to map out my commentary, but that's the benefit of recording the audio separately from the gameplay. ;)

@BigScaryGames 8 лет назад

Oh yeah for sure, that's a great tip. I do the same, but I chop the video to match the audio - that makes for a jumpy video that's OK for a game review but bad for a let's play style product. I like that you managed to keep a continuous gameplay video but also pack commentary to fit so that you don't have long pauses or filler in your narration. So awesome - must have been tough!

@Deined 13 лет назад

I've known about Mega Man 1 almost since it came out, but here's something I discovered only a few years ago, from watching a speedrun of it. With the Magnet Beam, you can actually increase the length of the beam by holding down the shot button; the longer you hold the button, the longer the beam. What's more, the beam will move with you if you hold the shot button down while jumping. The problem with doing this, though, is the Magnet Beam's energy depletes more quickly this way.

@Bowserslave 13 лет назад

@Luckeydz 13 лет назад

@GeminiLaser Isn't a video review / walkthrough / showoff video a LP? (let's play) Or at least similar to one?

@LaserTG2 12 лет назад

Yes, but the Anniversary Collection is not an exact copy of MM1, 2, and 3. It was maybe left for laziness sake. Who knows? But it is the Plasma Blaster in the first 3 games.

@deuce4931 6 лет назад

my God when these were new I was like 5 or 6 and I watched them on the Wii in my room, I haven't subscribed until now since 1, I forgot about this channel until now since it's been years, and 2, I couldn't subscribe on the Wii. I was just playing some MM7 and I was reminded of tour videos, if I remember correctly, I watched your MM1-6 Because you hadn't started 7, but I'm just taking a trip down memory lane.

@goodname3838 7 лет назад

Why are there two blocks in Gutsman's chamber?

@HeroicJay 12 лет назад

It's not just the Super Arm; if you ignore "Normal Mode" (read: Easy Mode) in the International version of MM2, Cut Man is the only robot master in the entire franchise to take 3 damage (as opposed to 1 or 2) from an uncharged Mega Buster (MM4 isn't the introduction of the Mega Buster, it's the introduction of the NEW Mega Buster). Why would Cut Man be weak to the Mega Buster? Well, see, Mega Man's real name is Rock...

@DarrienEmerald 11 лет назад

@keaton5101 7 лет назад

if you want to beat the game without returning to elecman's stage, you can start in 4 places. guts man, bomb man, fire man, or ice man. and you're probably not going to start at ice man. kind of strange how cutman is always considered to be sort of the First robot master. yeah, he's maybe the easiest robot master, with the best robot master stage in the game, but if you go to him first, you either have to go out of order (which is fine, because bomb man is a pretty good place to go from there) or go to elecman's stage, and not get magnet beam.

I like going to Fire Man's stage first, you still get a strait play through although Fire Man is fairly challenging without a power, but the good news is the fact that it's broken and quite helpful for the rest of the bosses.

@BohepansTheThird 13 лет назад

Something I wanted to mention for Gutsman (watching these again because I'm easily entertained too :D XD), which I don't think you said anything about here or in Wily Stage 4 (feel free to rub in my failure if this is not the case @_@)... Myself, I actually find it -easier- to dodge his thrown rocks if I simply stand there and let Mega Man fall on his rump when Gutsman does the earthquake stomp (long as he's not really close). No idea why it works, but it does. Oversight, or intentional? Hmm...
