MegaMan & Bass is one of my favorite games in the series. Been looking forward to this episode since I first found your channel and its finally here aaaaaaaa!!
16:14 This is weirdly touching for a meme reference. Good job. I'm glad you didn't skip this one. I know most people find Bass easier but i have had an easier time as Mega Man. And King recruiting and building his own followers in canon is pretty cool, shame we never see him again.
Can't wait ten more years for a Mega Man 9 video! Ok but seriously amazing work, you really outdid yourself with this one. my favorite parts were when Proto Man really thought he was a main character haha I really do hope we se gigachad King in another game.
I laughed so hard at the King segments, such a great bit! I think I’ll give this game a shot sometime, I was put off by knowing about the screen crunch on the GBA Version but now knowing there’s a fan translation is such a godsend!
Power Guy, you’ve done it again! I know these proper episodes are time consuming to make but they are so entertaining, funny yet comforting like a warm blanket during a snow storm. Keep it up and I’ll be watching!!
I laughed a lot through this video! Your channel was fun from the beginning but it's really cool to see how much you've improved at making videos in just a year.
19:52 I believe you got the context mixed up. Looking at the bio, it does NOT show any mention of Flash Man using Time Stopper to spy on women. Instead, it’s more plausible he abuses Time Stopper to take longer baths. which i mean, i can understand that flash man.
Love the hard work and effort that went into this video, the voice acting, memes and appreciation for this underrated gem of game. I ranked Megaman and Bass as one of my Top 25 games of all time, at first I considered X3 and X4 but those games don’t give that much of a challenge and don’t have collectible CDs so I ultimately decided on Rockman & Forte.
I live for these videos, they’re so funny. I crack up with what you do with the characters. They’re out of character and yet in character at the same time, everything is just 👌🏼 perfect
Love the fact you're putting a lot of effort into these videos, especially with the sprite animations for the intro stage. Looking forward to more of this dude.
Burner Man? More like Propane Man of Propane Accessories, I'll tell you whut. 🔥 Poor Proto Man, His inclusion was half-assed at best. 🥁 Man, Capcom must LOVES introducing cool characters and NOT doing anything with them afterwards. A Common trend. 😭 This was worth the wait, PG. I'm so hyped for "I Have to Beat Mega Man 9!!!!!!!!!" At some point. 🥰
Mega Man 8 for super players... if you don't choose Bass. Some compare it to Mega Man X6 but aside from the checkpointing in the King stages I found it much better-balanced. I like how the CD collection includes Game Boy-only characters like Enker and Sunstar.
19:51 for some reason that reminds me of this: Roll: *shouting up the stairs* Mega Man! Wily's back! Rock: *shouting back* Oh, come on! I just got in the shower!
The secret best classic game until 11 came out. R&F's a real kick in the teeth up front, but it gives you every tool you need to crack it open like a walnut. Unless you just _wanna_ get kicked in the teeth and then you can ignore all of it and go buster duel bosses with no gear. Options!
_Hope you've prepared for the challenges ahead._ I still remember _Somecallmejohnny_ struggling with GBA version of this game for *Platformania* back in 2017. Hopefully you won't repeat his mistakes.
Gotta Bass normal makes this game so easy and once you have the Treble Booster that game is just on baby mode. I like how Bass and Megaman while having the same weapon are colored different to make the weapons feel more unique. Lastly now that you played 7,8 and now Bass. I’m curious do you prefer 7’s Super Bass/ Treble Boost design or do you like 8’s and onwards Super Bass/Treble Boost Bass?
You have the patience of a monk for beating this game fair and square. I had no idea King had a change of heart at the end since I never had the patience to beat it.
poor King, the game devs revived the guy just so he could never appear nor receive any mention (as far as I know) on the later games, smh... and damn, if you ever write and/or direct an animated series, I'm 500% up to watch it, damn.
15:26 The King Behind The Slaughter (P.S. what if there was a way to combine both Mega Man 8 and Mega Man & Bass into one full game? Then we would have Mega Man 8 & Bass just like Sonic 3 & Knuckles if that were a thing even though lock-on technology already existed.)
I wonder if Power Guy knew that the flying tank boss can be manipulated when you use the Dynamo Man weapon midair as it allows you to keep scrolling, damaging him AND his fists so you have mobility all around when doing that.
I kinda love how Burner Man is just a bunch of propane tanks. Hank merely adopted the propane and propane accessories, he was born in it, molded by it.
Protoman acts a lot like Zero in this game, being torn in half and sacrificing himself.
And coming back from death
maybe he hid himself to repair himself
@@angelotorres1 knowing he hates being near Dr. Light, he probably did!
but UNLIKE Zero, he doesn't have his own game series
he's just playable in certain Mega Man games

@@JennaTols Dark Fantasy by Kanye
Bass calling Protoman "Useless Guy" is as true as it is in character
Seems like King isn't all that bad, he learns quite quickly for being a royal robot.
And Bass continues his search for his CDs
A search that will continue until the end of time, because in actuality He Doesn’t Own Any, but Bass is in denial
bass simultaneously has a weirdly large amount of chill and also none at all.
I think it's funny how when the king said: "all warriors strike for is-" when a ad came for a caramel chocolate
Mega Man and Bass feels like X6 but deliberate. It PURPOSEFULLY hates you, while X6 just kinda accidentally hates you because it's such a rush job.
Inafune was like "You only get one game a year? Then I'll give you a game that takes a whole year to beat!"
