Me too, though I was actually looking for coolkid's WR at the time of shooting. It was such a relief to see that cyghfer had taken it back; his dedication is unreal.
You don't know how happy it made me when I read that you were the current world record holder, what a story of fighting over and over for an objective, it's magic how everything came together. One thing that really impressed me after actually watching a full run was how incredibly fast all the menu weapon switching is done, no margin there at all picking the right one every single time. I really hope you get to make the sub 30 a thing sooner or later, you got this my dude.
It's kind of poetic how this world record speedrun begins with you talking about your history with the game and the runners who inspired you. Not quite as poetic as that joke about Dr. Wiley being a gynecologist, though.
Cyghfer you are such an inspiration for me! I to am grinding for something thats considered so so hard. Your persistence is amazing and really inspires me to continue my grind! Thank you!
I saw this game on summoning salt and it brought back extreme nostalgia for me. immediately searched the current WR and after watching the history of the game im glad to see you are back in the top spot. congrats
hey man, this run is amazing. i can totally see a sub 26:30 being possible, and i really wanna see you achieve it. i wish you luck and i am glad you managed to get another world record.
Cyghfer congratulations on the 2633 I watched summoning salts video last week and it was such an amazing story and now I would miss you PB keep up the good work I'll be tuning in in the future! You are the GOAT
Been watching you speed run this game now since, 2012, 2013? Gutted that I missed this live on twitch as I normally stay up till 5am to watch! Congrats, incredible as always really well deserved
this is truly a pleasure to watch! the little trick of pausing and changing weapons in order to get a bit more distance mid-jump is fantastic. didn't know that one. very, very nice work.
As someone who sucks at the Megaman video games, allow me to say, congratulations on your new world record. I love CoolKid's runs, but in my mind you are the people's champ of this game.
Just made it here after watching the summoning salt video like I'm sure a lot of people did. Definitely have a new Fan looking forward to seeing you run live next time on Twitch!!
I found my old Gameboy color and mega man 2 in my mom's basement last week. Currently doing my first playthrough in decades. Thanks for keeping the game relevant after all these years
THE GOAT just finished watching summoning salt vid was bit sad that u lost the record and just by luck looked up yoyr channel so happy to see u hold the record
Excellent run. That was the best Wily 4 I’ve ever seen. Fantastic zips and damage boosts. Only thing I can see you lost time on was one single jump on the ladder placing an item 3. That’s IT. That’s the hardest stage in the game after Clashman in my opinion. Next run is a 26:2X I know it! Can’t wait to see it you earned a sub from me.
In regards to the talk of "where did Wily get all his money to fund everything", the theorized part is that for the first couple games he had funding from his research as well as selling scrapped parts. However it was confirmed that when he made Crystal Man in MegaMan 5 he would sell the crystals for a profit which would fund much more of his creations.
I wish you still streamed. I am a pool player and the way and amount I practice is very similar to speed running video games. I will always remember something you said one time in regards to trying to beat records or achieve greatness and it was “not to rush it” excellent advice man, I guess I just wanted to say thx and wish you would stream again
