Mega Man 2 World Record Speedrun in 26 Minutes 

When mom says you're only allowed 30 minutes on the NES

That item 1 usage at at the beginning of Air Man's stage is bananas.

I think my favorite thing about this world record is that it's obvious there's still room to improve and this guy knows it. He points out the small tech errors and things that don't go right. It's like he's telling other runners where to look for ways to beat his record. I think that's impressive.

I know that IGN gets a lot of flack sometimes, but you gotta admit that it's cool that they are featuring these speed run record videos.

cyghfer: "havent been this painfully bad" me: *looks at title* me:...hmm

"this run is mediocre" "this run is decent" WR

I've died so many times with those disappearing blocks in heat man stage

I knew he was gonna set the WR when he said he had to pee. His bladder gave him the edge.

and I take a 26 minute to select a stage...

why so many comments about turbo controller. you can very clearly see that he is just mashing really hard. and at a few points he even talks about it.

Levels with those disappearing blocks are just cruel. Cruel I tell you

he didnt even go after metal man first, this guy is a legend

Nice Job. Played this game a lot back in 1989. It is one of my favorite games of all time. Never thought I would see kids not even alive yet at the time playing this game like a Nintendo Game Master almost 30 years later.

Love this music. Brings me back to my NES days in the 90s.

"I'd consider it legit if he didn't use glitches" - someone who has literally never ever watched a speedrun before

clashman blinked and went to robot heaven

I have a dream... A dream where men can live together in a world where they are not judged by the color of their skin, but by how quickly they can complete games made in 1988!

Doctor: You have 30 mins of life, is there anything you want to do before you go? Me: *This video

Fake! He swaps out with his robot twin at 1:40

As someone who played through Megaman 2 many times. This was total awesome. Loved it!

17:56, this brings a whole new meaning to "quick" boomerangs

17:57 First time ever a person made a game have a seizure.

this must be a great game to run because you get to listen to the best soundtrack all the time

I love classic Nintendo sounds especially the first stage for you with the flash man :)

The w4 stage had me sitting on the edge of my seat, so insanely well played

Guy from Sweden beat this in May by fractions of a second.

I will just say that it takes just as much skill if not more to execute the "glitches" (zips) as it does to simply jump across some platforms,climb some ladders or blast some enemies. They are done simply to save time. That is why he is running in the category he is and that is why the record counts. Very impressive to execute all of this in the same run and beat the clock on top of it. These guys are good at what they do and they put alot of effort into it. Congrats on the WR 👍

Still the BEST game EVER! And the music!

I love watching runs like this because they have so much pressure on them but they're kind of cocky anyway because they know that even if they fail, they're still better than you.

here is the mm2 sequence. For metal man and air man use the arm cannon blaster. Air on crash metal on flash metal on bubble bubble on heat heat on wood And for quick man use flash stopper and crash bombs

Congrats friend, you really gave it to this game! Great Job!

As a fellow Megaman fan, this was extremely entertaining to watch.

just in case your wondering is less than 60 seconds in the top 20 speed runs mm2 Any% this is insane!

This video came at exactly the right moment. Finished the game this week and instantly joined my top 10 games. Wondered what else it had to offer. Now I know I have a long time to go.

>complains about speedrunner using zips >Probably couldn't beat this game in three hours with a Game Genie

3:28 if you quickly turn to facing right hand side and take the damage, won't you be pushed to the left and save 0.3 seconds?

Before anyone who has never heard of a speedrun comments that it was cheating that he used glitches, this is an any% speedrun. In this kind of speedrun and most others, glitching is absolutely not cheating.

I was COMPLETELY blown away at Crash Man. That was awesome.

OMG. Still love those song

Legend. The grind has been real. cygh has taken this game to the absolute next level.

I remember 25:40 as a kid, 7 years old, did that completely by accident. One of the greatest gaming moments ever at that age 😆

What are the different colored, and numbers of, vertical bars in the top left by each level and the times?

can somebody explain why he does the refights of the bosses (with the tele room) in a certain order. does he not loose time going to the right tele. would it not be more efficient to them orderly in a row and not go back and forth. maybe it has to do with health deplition?

Dude seriously congratulations!!! You deserve all that hype at the end! 👏👏👏

It is ironic that when you are speedrunning, Metal Man Stage is one of the latest stages to play instead of the first.

Sick micro by these guys who do these speed runs, I could never even dream of this back in the early 90s

19:30 He shoots one blade too many, every burst. Gotta be muscle memory from before he speedran. Love it.

I don't watch his streams so I have to ask. What do the colored bars next to the letters mean in his Twitch window?

What are the little colorful bars by each stage on the time tracker?

Damn, i love megaman 2. Best NES game in my opinion.

Omg! They made Megaman from smash into a real game series?!?

*reaches end* realizes he never started recording.

I appreciate IGN making these viewed outside of the Megaman circle.

Dude did heatman second and beat it so fast... And that glitch blew my mind. I never would have played this order in my childhood

Wow! that shortcut in Crash Man's stage! I didn't know about that either!

MM2 is my favorite NES game. It was always my go to to play no matter how many times I beat it. Just enjoyed getting lost in it.

okey, i get that people dont like any% speedruns, but why people think he is using turbo, he is CLEARLY not doing it... i think that people beliving his gaming is so casual that they dont even belive in the need to ACTUALLY watch his hands talk much more about why any% and speedrunners are so amazing.

7:36 the audio on this glitch is awesome

Airman could still be optimized, but the Crash zips were on point. Congrats =3

MegaMan 2 had a world record? Cause to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking at this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of ones view and by trying to make it objective, and by considering each and everyone's valid opinion, I honestly believe I completely forgot what I was going to say

This man do be speedrunning my childhood.

I don't get why ppl complain about the zips, they definitely don't make the game easier. Also if they wanna see no zips they should watch a glitches run.

The ads in this video had more time than your total gameplay.

Impressive. Talk about pulling it out in the clutch! A+

I needed 26 minutes to blow up on the catdridge and run the game

Has anyone else noticed that at around 24:49 after defeating crash man and walking out of the teleporter the sound cuts out then returns with a pop noise and Mega Man stop moving for a frame or 2?

What controller he use? This orginal NES-Viedotape?

Awesome job man! Does this mean you’re not getting Weezer back together anytime soon?

Where did you get the air man and heat man on that flag pillow in the background????

エゲツないテクニックw敵に当たって落とし穴回避が凄い！

Do you do runs without the glitches as well?

Talk about bad day, proceed to break a speedrun record

So do these world record runs of games need to be done on the original cartridge/system the game was released on to be valid? No ports or emulators allowed?

9:07 "We're getting to wood man" * has already gone to quick *

This question was probably mentioned already, but were those glitches also in the American version, or just Rockman 2?

Congrats man! Very cool!

That's an amazing run. It's a shame he didn't have anyone there to celebrate with.

как делать прокрутку экрана на уровнях хитмэн и клэшмэн?

Still one of my favorite endings to a video game.

So, is there any reason it's considered faster to NOT do the bosses in the order that allows quick kills? Or to, say, do Air Man before Heat Man to get Item-2 so you can speed through what's basically an autoscroll section?

10:58: ok we’re officially at woodman guys. *Slow and steady wins the race* 11:00 *NYOOOOOOOM*

gratz for the air man and bubble man stages

The soundtrack is so OG for so many reasons.

2 questions from a noob. 1. I don't remember the items refilling power after each level. You use item 2 and then it's empty and then it's full when you play the next level. why does this happen? 2. why don't you use item 2 to move across the part with the appearing blocks in heatman stage?

I didn't know about that shortcut with item three in Heat Man's stage.

WR in July 2018 is 26:36 now :[ Beat by one second. Poor cyghfer

Takes me 26 minutes to get out of the Enter Password screen.

24:48 nice, perfect fight against quickman.

Now do a Tiger Electronics Handheld LCD Speedrun

Awesome game . It's difficult when u Don't know the pattern of the enemy but once u do it's very entertaining

Mad props, you know this game like the back of your hand.

Thank you for playing japanese version "Rockman" !!

The day that Kerry Wood struck out 20 batters, he said he couldn't throw a strike during his warm-up before the game.

This was the most interesting speedrun Ive ever watched. gg

Cyghfer disappears for a long time... Then comes back taking records.

Soooooo now what?

quickman stage gave me so much adrenaline in my childhood

Very impressive timing and focus

I love watching speed run !

I gotta know how he beat the Wily machine so quickly.
