Mega Man 2 - Quick Man's Stage
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Well I cannot put this stage off any longer... time for Quick Man's stage. This stage is rather infamous, and for good reason. While the Force Beams are easy enough to deal with after some thorough memorization, that still does not deal with all the threats of the stage. The Sniper Joes in the final room are actually an incredible pain to deal with as if you try to move back to give yourself more space, you are likely to scroll another one onto the screen causing for pretty much guaranteed failure to finish the stage without taking a hit.
Quick Man is still the biggest problem in that regard, though. He is by far the most random robot master of all... He just bounces all over the room throwing boomerangs whenever he seems to want to and charges forward at other random times too. He tends to always be in your face, so beating him without taking any damage is incredibly difficult. Roahm was insane enough to do the whole thing buster only, but I shall definitely be sticking to using weapons on this pest... I would rather only have to work his HP down to half before feeling nice and safe as opposed to having to get rid of it all. Yeeeeah, this was not fun.
Enjoy!~
The sound of those quickman beams still haunts me after all the childhood trauma they inflicted upon me. Just in the dead of night I will wake up in a cold sweat, hearing the sounds of VREEEEEEEE VREEEE VREEEEEEEE in my ears.
VREEEEEEEEEEE
sadly my girlfriend calls me quickman
Kevin Hoonigan Even more sadly, my girlfriend calls me Flashman.
Even more sadly, my girlfriend does not exist
I got a vasectomy so my girlfriend calls me Airman.
Wow, you guys are a mess lol
The Krookodile Hunter Dude...come on :(
I love the fact that literally not moving is what kills Quick Man.
mega man 2 was a smart game on so many levels :)

@@Godlikushi what's so smart about a chaotic fuck that decides if you live or die with rng?
As a child, I imagined infiltrating those environments myself.
The vast facilities and massive chambers in solitude.
And I imagined myself at the top of this level, gaping down the shaft for hours; gathering the courage to go down, knowing that falling not fast enough meant instant death.
It was all so magical and awe inspiring!
this is how I viewed every normal door in the world as a kid, never mind the game D: magical times, well times are still magical I'd say, just darker D:
I’m so sorry for this, but I just have to say.
“Gaping down the shaft for hours” sounds wild lmao.
I hated this stage when I was 10 years old
I still hate it now
now how old are you
@@DSN.001 probably 11. Lol
I'm ten at the moment. And I hate this stage more than anything in the world
Tried this game and start with quick man stage.. its a big mistake.. those laser beam? Is so damn unfairly annoying
I can only beat it using freeze
These lasers.
God damn it.
When I played this for the first time back in the day I'd use Flash Man's weapon for the second round of the laser beams. I lost count how many times I died in that part when not using it.
@@jerrycarlson8968 i did that and i still couldnt get past the beams
Honestly this stage is very easy, possibly the easiest stage in the game. Except for heat man, that one is somehow even easier
This looks easy, but its not. Never say a games easy when a pro is playing
dirt shark gamplay i completed dis shit only in 3 attemps
Warren Van Niekerk you're lieing
A lot of it is having good control of Mega Man and it takes some practice.
Another thing truly is memorizing the maps *and some people suck more at memory than they think*
Lastly, is the controller you’re using. Sometimes you just don’t have the luxury of a classic NES controller. Me? I have one of those shitty arcade sticks because my nephew needed it to be an arcade stick, because they’re sooo cool.
So yeah. Difficulty is subjective. I found this stage surprisingly short, but so difficult that without help or cheating, you’ll be stuck there for at least an hour figuring out the light beams and such.
It is the easiest thing in the world
@@Riddimsofcreation i can do it 1st try too. Can beat the whole game with 1 life.
Those yellow force beams used to almost always kill me, and especially to know that you need perfect precision maneuvers to get past those beams which will kill Mega man in a single hit. They don't just damage Mega man, they kill him instantly.
Quick man takes damage from not being able to move
That's how much he loves moving
Logic
Mega Man Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing
Markus McCloud are you sure about that?
Move or Die reference?
Just kidding, I already knew that Mega Man is earlier than Move or Die =
1:09 That part was just brutal
I love this song. There's no other NES music I can think of that uses an arpeggio so well and so extensively.
This song borrows heavily from Stevie B - “Spring Love”
THIS SONG IS SO DOPE!
tinostarks
song: good
lvl: Ryu oo hard and a piece of shit
I used to find these quick lasers annoying, until I played Zero Virus Stage 1 in MMX5....sweet jesus this is literally a cakewalk in comparison..
LOL I Kno Right But U Gotta Love The Reference Tho
Fuck that stage
ruclips.net/video/c7fQ9YUgzcU/видео.html
Screen transitions make MM2's lasers easier than X5's
For REAL! It took seemingly forever to get the "You're Quick, Man" achievement in Legacy Collection 2. After my lengthy aggravation I slowly realized the reference and was like 😑.
1:10 Super Smash Bros Ultimate storymode in a nutshell
How?
world of light
@@barktrap the beams galeme (forgot his to spell his name) fires to kill everyone
@@hedgelad712 I already know.
@@barktrap
Yay.
I love this stage! It’s such an adrenaline rush.
I don't think any other games came close to this feeling
I agree, the stage is so satisfying
1:05 haha that cute P-shooting in the rythm of the tune. i love it :)
This is my favorite stage in Mega Man 2.The music is fast & good, the graphics nice and the gameplay.... Just need to learn everything and then you can do evey time this stage.
The best Robot Master ever created in my opinion along with Enker from Mega Man for the Game Boy or Mega Man 10
my fav is shadow :D
I have many favorite characters in Megaman, but Elec is my most (and personal) favorite one.
Quick man is my least favourite of them all. Awful fight and a basic design.
Been playing through MM2, currently on Wily 1. I'm rather impressed at your no-damage runs. :)
The worst thing about this stage is that Nintendo & Capcom expected you to do nearly frame perfect inputs to evade some beams... Why.... Why are we here?
Just to suffer?
yes
You could use rewind like me
@@gemstonepheonix9522 it's still hard even when i use rewind.
Nearly frame perfect? That's not even close to frame perfect. You can lose quite a lot of frames and still get past
After watching these videos: "Ok i can do it without flash stopper!" (uses flash stopper) YES YES YES MEGAMAN HURRY!!!!! YES!!!!(gets hit by quick beam with no flash stopper left) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i literally have no chance to get past the damn second set of beams, i literally land right on them after falling from the first set of beams
You can use flashmans weapon to make it easier, but generally what I do is that I keep a close observation when the screenscrolls the gameplay doesn't immediatly resume so you have enough time to see where you should position megaman.
Without Stop Timer from Flashman, it is difficult, but not impossible. Gotta time it perfect. One slip up and it’s game over.
This stage was inspiration (especially the beginning with the lasers) for the Shadow Devil Stage in Megaman X5
Except that X5 doesn't know how to do quick beams well
Quick Man is weak against Flash Man because speed is meaningless in stopped time.
Yeah.
I almost forgot that fact.
Those damned death lasers were my worst enemy and you made them look easy💀
It's levels like this that remind me why I stopped playing old school game wasn't worth the frustration. There is no joy in remembering a level to beat it.
watcherofthings that's dumb but ok
lol
Thank God for Save States in roms
Brutal stage and boss. The beams got me everytime.
This is my favorite stage in the original Mega Man series. The music is awesome. When I was younger, I could never get past those beams. I found out later when I got the Mega Man Collection for PS2. Quick Man is my favorite boss to fight.
The stage is amazing, but the boss is shit.
Those bloody force beams….took me years to beat them!
I never thought it was possible to make it past the beams without Flash Man's stopper! Awesome job!
Once you remember the layout, it's easy.
You thought that a robot master stage was impossible without a certain weapon? Mega man 2 is a bad game, but even it isn't flawed to the point it would do that
My friends so obsessed with quick man, he would legit call anyone who struggles with it a skill issue. I think he may have a lot more for the boomerang speedster but thats just me
That section after the guys that throw fire at you is hell on earth and you can't convince me otherwise. I always do this stage last so that I can use the flash ability that freezes time
It's quite easy in my opinion
0:51 The flames that the Hotheads throw are miniature versions of Fry Guy (from Super Mario Bros. 2/Doki Doki Panic)
I find the quick man fight the most entertaining of all, both player and enemy jumping and running all over the way while throwing stuff to each other
Try to no damage buster only it.
I actually used flash man power when i would go through the lasers had no clue u could use it to fight against quick man... that's awesome!
After almost 20 years my God!Finally!
1:33 I ALWAYS DIE HERE.
ME TOO
Lol y'all just don't move fast enough and I don't even use the time stopper anymore
One of the hardest game
No matter how many years go by... this stage still gives all megaman fans nightmares and ptsd.
Not for me though
Good job, Pink. You have accomplished what most people cannot do.
No comment on the music? Personally, this is one of my top 3 themes of the game.
The tornado works well against the Sniper Joe's themselves too. One shot to get rid of their pod and another to kill them.
You can just run under them very easily
i dont use flash stopper on the beams or quickman. i like using it before fighting him and then i enter the room with 5 energy bars left because i love the delay of the boss theme before he fills up his energy as it interrupts the theme. just like wily stage 5 wily machine fight 1 with the delay
When I actually managed to beat this stage, I had to take a long breath. I was so proud to finally get through it I didn't care if anything else killed me. XD
This stage is just the warm up prepping you for Quickman. 😮
Roahm must be jealous of you, Pink! You managed to get the shiny 1-up that he couldn't get in his perfect run!
For the viewers' comparing pleasure, let me spell out the spots. In this run, look at 1:29 (Pink got the 1-up and survives). In Roahm's run, look at 2:36 (Perfect Run: Roahm avoids/misses the 1-up) and 5:20 (Outtake: Roahm gets the 1-up, only to get Force Beamed).
I always hated this stage those lasers hahaha now I like it more, nice videooooo
The wily wars essentially makes those mechs immune to the Air Tornado Power up so its literally just better to run through them and take a hit than fight them.
Run under, don't take damage
Wow I learned something new I didn't know that you can use Flash Man weapon to kill quick man
How the fuck did you not know?
actually you can exploit quickman's ai with metal blade
all you have to do is shoot a metal blade, then he will lock it and pose. just pause, change weapons and hit him then rapidly switch back to metal blade and repeat it until he dies
HeelNavi Any weapon that he blocks will work too like Bubble. Bubble, P-shot. Rinse and repeat 7 times (14 in difficult).
Mega Man: I fear no Wily, but those things, (looks at the instant death beams),they scare me
Remembering the first couple of times playing this stage...it took me some attempts but I came through quite 'quickly'...
The key is also NOT to JUMP or at least as less as possible during the laser parts. Jumping takes time and you don't have...
I have seen many online runs who jumped and get destroyed.
I've been stuck on 2nd beam screen since 88. It's literally 2019. I've quit trying to pass it.
I had to use Flashman’s ability to stop those beams during the 2nd half of the level.
this stage is such a pain in the ass I can never get past those force beams so I had to use the time stop to get by then and then when I actually get to quick man he just hops his ass around the screen and I am never able to hit him with crash bomb or the heat man power
if anybody has any tips on how to kill quick man please tell me because he is so annoying
Is no one going to talk about how the main instrument is a Fax Machine for this stage?
A tip I used to make this easier was when the screen scrolls the gameplay doesn't immediatly resume for a split second, so I would use to to see where to position megaman to ensure the lasers miss completely.
Pfft. As Sonic once said this to him: “you’re quick, Quick Man, but you’re not FAST!”
Hint: It you have troubles with the force beams, use the flash ability.
The beams are notorious for the instant kill, but as you say, the path can be memorized fairly easily. I don't think I was ever able to beat Quick Man himself without it being a messy battle of attrition.
The best advice I can give about the Lazer section if you're using an emulator is to just suck up your pride and use the save states. You'll eventually get the rhythm down, and you'll memorize it better when you don't need to start all the way at the beginning.
I feel that this stage makes the process of mastering a game too frustrating for it's own good. It's not fun and I hate it.
The stage is very easy and I am not even close to mastering the game
@@Red_Biker_Dude You're a lot better than I am then.
Thank god for the time stopper and crash bombs. Otherwise, I would of went insane from taking on Quick Man himself.
1:10
I honestly cried a lot, but a lot in that part .. I remember that I spent 3 months to spend the part of the giant cheetos ; _;
Yeah! I used to use the time stopper because the laser killed me every time 😅
I remember when I was a kid I just used Time Stopper to get through those beams.... lol. Now I don't know what I would do.
Those freaking laser beams my gosh
I still have nightmares of this level i often wake up like : " no no no noo, LEFT LEFT LEEEEEEEEEFT!"
quick man stage really live up to its name
Yeah, it's over pretty quickly
At least the music is great.
This is where flashman power comes in actually
This is probably the one stage where time stopper is the least useful.
I've been wanting to play the MM games since I've been playing 1001 Spikes and this looks super easy in comparison..lol
I usually beat this stage sooner on in my playthroughs. As long as i have flash first. I dont use flash on the beams, inuse flash on quick man. i sometimes deviate, my usual 3 are metal, flash, and then straight to hell (quick man)
Couldn't stand this stage as a kid. Those beams were super annoying. Looking at it now, it looks so simple haha. Memories
Yesterday I beat this level without using the time stopper at all. finally.
That's very easy actually
"Quick man is just a random, spazzing MONSTER of a robot master"
So is that why his weakness is the Time Stopper (if I remember correctly that is flash man's weapon)? Just flash him once and he gets epilepsy?
(I played through the game ok this is just a joke please don't kill me ;-;)
2:50 That sound is so satisfying.
I have found the easy way to beat Quick Man. All you need is at least 75% HP and crash bomber. When you enter the boss room fire the bombs as fact as you can, don't move in any direction, dont jump, just press B-button as fast as you can. Quick Man will jump and damage you but he will get damaged with explosions of crash bombs. This always works even on hard mode. But of course it doesn't work for no damage runs :(
take notice, all: Heat man's STUFF has been LYING AROUND IN THE WRONGEST PLACES.
0:13 Aww. That would explain the rage quit, when i attempted this on my NES Classic Edition.
Best way to get Quick man out is by beating Flash man first
This way you can piss him off with Time Stopper and eat half of his energy :P
Ah those beams are still something of my nightmares are made of..
all my years of playin this game.... i still always use the time stopper to get past the 2nd wave of beams. i usually trigger it around the time when the 1up appears that way i have enough juice to get to the bottom. ==========
IDC how many times I died, Shadow Man, Bubbleman, Quickman and all 3 mega man killers are my best robot masters ever
Quikmans level is hard right
Force beams are worse than instant death spikes!
No they aren't
It always baffles me that the 8 bit sprite of quick man doesn’t have a mouth.
Whoever made that laser part must’ve REALLY hated us
Certified hood classic
i beat quikman with my regular wepon easy and just stop this laser beams with the timer :P
My fav tune of this game. :D
Been playing megaman since I was in like 3rd grade and wasn’t able to finish this and now I’m almost in 11th and I STILL CANT. 💔
You need a good D-Pad. One mistake and you're dead. I'm an old and can do this in my sleep on my NES, but I absolutely struggle with the wrong controller, considering. If you're playing a ROM, or even on the Playstation, you're gonna have a bad time.
All the respect for loving the classics, though!
Props for this boss playthrough.
This and Heatman were some of the "Super Meat Boy" hard levels for us olds.
They are literally the 2 easiest stages in the game
@@Red_Biker_Dude Yeah, Heatman's stage is a joke when you have Rush Jet, but you're either lying or being disingenuous to say it's one of the "easiest" stages in the game to learn the patterns and timing of the invisible blocks.
I can play at beat any stage today, no problem, but that one I would have to practice and memorize.
@@TheLegendOfRandy mega man 2 doesn't have rush jet, I think you mean item 2
Memorizing the yoku block section is very easy.
@@Red_Biker_Dude It's also called Rock-Man in Japan if we're going to be _that_ pedantic.
Listen, we're clearly both _huge_ fans. Can we find some common ground? What's your favorite game in the franchise? For me, It's X4 on PS1. I adore that game and speed-runs are really fun to watch.
(Edit, I removed some comments that were rude and insensitive. If you saw them, I apologize).
@@TheLegendOfRandy my favourite is mega man 4, not X4, just 4.
I also like 9, 10, 8, 7, X1 and X2.
I want to beat this stage with no
Savestates
Quick man is pie compared to Shadow Man of Mega 3.
shadow man is a cream puff
@@kefkarothsephka7708 Easier said than done.
Some of the Doc bosses in MM3 are a lot harder than even Shadow Man.
Try beating Doc Wood Man and Doc Quick Man with only the Mega Buster and without any E-tanks - that will NOT be easy.
As a kid I could never get past the beams without freezing them with Flash mans power.
Same
Quickman = The flash evil mode
This should be the end level. Those fucking lasers are pissing me off
2024 here, anyone else think the enemy at 0:52 was an inspiration for the giant fire dudes in the Elden Ring DLC?
The flames they throw look like miniature versions of FryGuy from Super Mario Bros 2...
Never thought quick man was hard at all i just froze him with flash man's weapon job done
It only takes away half of his health
Unless you are a normal mode player, in that case... why do you play it on normal mode?
Good skill. Is it just me or that music sounds fit for the decade it's made in?
