[TAS] Genesis Mega Man: The Sequel Wars "Mega Man 4, Roll" by Darkman425 in  

For those saying the Wire Adaptor trick could’ve saved more time, remember that you actually need the Wire Adaptor in the first place. This TAS intentionally skipped grabbing the item in Dive Man’s stage because getting it in this game would mean falling a few screens, watching at least 10 seconds of the newly-added “get item” cutscene for this adaptor, and then upon returning, needing to repeat a whole section of Dive Man’s stage that was already cleared before getting the adaptor. All of those actions are a huge time sink and would’ve actually added *more* time to the end total of this TAS, had they all been done.

Oh my god you can Saber cancel like with X6 Zero, lmao

Wow, Roll really cleaned house with these bosses!

I'm so happy this exists. I was looking forward to someone TASing this version of the game, but the fact that Darkman425 chose to play as Roll just takes this to a whole other level of fun and awesomeness! 💚 Also, it's truly a testament to how tight the code in this game is when the biggest glitches that pop up are palette issues in the boss rush and that one Balloon hiccup in Brightman's stage. (And a "sticky" problem with the Square Machine in Cossack Stage 2, which didn't appear in this playthrough.) Darn fine coding, Woodfrog!

Notice how fast the screen scrolls during transitions in this TAS? That is what the "Screen transition speed" option does (duh). Normally, it is set to "Normal" speed, which is adequate for casual players, but there's also "Slow" speed in case some people have seriously slow reaction time, and "Fast" speed for speedrunners and TAS's. As a dev member of Sequel Wars, I am the one to have suggested the ability to customize how fast screen transition happens. Before the feature was suggested, I heard Nico Evaluates statements on how he dislikes fast screen transitions in Mega Man games, so that made me think about how screen transition speed can be a serious conflict of "Should it appeal to a casual audience? Speedrunners? Or make it really slow as an accessibility for the ones who have slow reaction time?". This is what led me up to the following conclusion : "How about we make it customizable?". This idea is simple, yet effective. It would be nice for other Mega Man games to integrate this feature as well.

I like how almost all playable roll’s in fan games/rom hacks make her zero

TAS already expands to homebrew games and hacks, but these games have increasingly higher frequency in this channel lately. And I’m all for it. Now here’s a TAS (or Speedrunning) suggestion: Roll (for TAS, for maximum boss DPS as demonstrated in this video), Charge Kick (via Full Arsenal) and helper items like Balloon as the only extra weapons allowed, Unlimited Ammo, Double Jump, Burst Chaser, maximum insanity I call this the Insane Charger Kick Run.

It's cute, watching Roll sliding into home plate.

I had no idea it could be done so quickly! Excellent! Awesome

At long last, the MM4 music isn't completely drowned out by the refilling sound.

This game is an instant classic!

Wow! Whoever even made a sequel to Mega Man: The Wily Wars (Capcom's answer to Nintendo's Super Mario All-Stars which is also a very satisfying improvement of the original Super Mario Bros. series and even made The Lost Levels all the more playable despite still being intentionally hard!) really makes us want to tell Capcom to take note (since a sequel was made for them in terms of thinking of a job to do and the rest of us Mega Man fans in terms of playing this game that makes us wish for "Mega Man: The Threequel Wars" which is pretty much a Sega Genesis-esque recreation of Mega Man 9-11... and possibly 7 to 8 to Mega Man & Bass even though MM7 & MM&B are already 16-bit and have 8-bit demakes) before they ended the Mega Man franchise before they could give us Mega Man Legends 3, Mega Man 12 and Mega Man X9!

We already got a tas for the game. Amaziny

30:30 The happy machine is still there!

What a great project. I'll try to keep an eye on its further progress.

Imagine Roll saying 'HU HA HUO!'.

He needs a mega buster to beat Wily. She can save the world with just a broom. Who's the real hero?

I Love How They Used Rockman World 4 Wily Boss Theme For Sequel Wars Wily Boss Theme. Is That Confusing?...

2:33 Sonic the Hedgehog is proud of this level

Wouldn't have grabbing the Wire Adaptor made things in Cossack Stage 3 go by faster? (There's an easter egg skip you can perform using an old glitch in the autoscroller)

wow, there's already a run of sequel wars.

I love the wily war version. Cool

"Sonicfan#1 got new flashcart" I hope so :)

Rockman & Roll

Is it not possible to glitch out of the boss rush with the Wire Adaptor and skip it like with the NES version, or do the game's physics not allow for that?

Didn't The TASer Know There Was An Option In The Start Menu To Enable Burst Chaser Which Doubles Your Speed?

29:01 roll becomes text

Is the castle at 15:36, 17:07, 18:35, and 21:20 supposed to look like the Kremlin? The thing showing where you're going even has a red star

Nice🎮🕹🎮megaman😮!!

How did they do that thing with Square Machine? He's normally supposed to go three times with the third time being the one where he stops.

Amazing hack 😮👍 Excellent tas 😏👉👉

Roll = Zero confirmed!? XD

I figure the TAS author won't see this, but there is a possible optimization here. In Cossack 3, I'd you use the wire glitch on the first autoscroller, you will be taken to the second autoscroller segment.

Never underestimate a girl and household tools!😂

Nice run, but you, or whomever speedruned it could save more time by using a Wire Adapter trick on Cossack 2

There was a mega man on genesis? This whole time.
