[TAS] Arcade Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters "Search for Wily!, 2 players" by Marx in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2012-10-25
Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters is the direct sequel to Mega Man: The Power Battle. Like its predecessor, this arcade-only game does away with the levels of the classic Mega Man games and instead pits you against Robot Master after Robot Master. The game features four characters and three game modes to choose from, with different Robot Masters to fight in each mode.
For this run, Marx runs the "Search for Wily!" mode with 2 players at once, using both Mega Man and Proto Man to defeat each robot faster than just 1 player could. Though the battles are speedy, the brief waiting periods after each match allow some time for entertainment.

I wish they went with this art style throughout the series. We kind of get similar visuals in 7, but 8 - 11 just go in wild art directions.

[@supper_e1823]

Yeah I think it’s a good style as well! The character sprites look kinda like mm7, while the backgrounds are like mm8 in terms of detail.

[@HamtaroSonicHedgehog]

Those sprites are indeed from MM7.

Damn tasvideos pumpin out banger videos recently

I remember playing this on the collector edition for the PS2.

[@Artista_Frustrado]

this game is so charming i really wish they made more, and kept this art style for 8, Bass & 10

[@batdogduke]

The noises that Mega Man makes in this game are disturbing and NOT what I expected him to sound like
I get it Japanese but come on

[@supper_e1823]

Mega man sounds alot like he does in mega man 8’s cutscenes

[@supper_e1823]

Still not ideal, but similar, anyway

[@tracyndiyob162]

happy 35th anniversary megaman!!!(wish they'd bring this & 8's art style back.:3)

[@NaturalTvventy]

What a weird ending.

[@edwardgaines6561]

Well they can't all be "Good job MegaMan," they have to make it interesting.

I remember playing this in an arcade. Rare cabinets from what I understand

[@maxmouse713]

That Dr. Wily Countdown looks really mean. Anybody got any experience with it?

[@jerppursh7570]

It's not aa bad as it looks, since it doesn't really matter if you fail it

[@JavaMR]

The only consequence of failing that segment is the fact that your final time does not get registered in the "fastest time" scoreboard.

[@DeepWeeb]

Why does Mega Man _kneel_ for his victory pose??

[@zebrin]

Because that's him "losing" notice that Protoman gets the victory sign at the bottom of the screen. Occasionally when Megaman gets the power he gets the win, and he jumps instead of kneeling.

[@edwardgaines6561]

@@zebrin Yes, and Protoman will look away, sulking.

[@Artista_Frustrado]

basically because is a competitive Arcade, only one character gets the Robot Master weapon & the bonus score

[@cowgaming7186]

Megaman and Protoman work together somehow

Bom de mais suas gameplays!!!

[@kieragard]

This tas looks way too simple in all honesty.

[@supper_e1823]

It’s not that complex a game, not as complicated as other larger ones

[@legospacememe8468]

That's because the game itself is pretty basic. The only difficulty it would have is with limited continuous since it's an arcade game

[@edwardgaines6561]

Don't breeze through the game so much, let viewers savor it a little bit! Geez!

[@blakleychazon]

lol

[@ayumi7948]

It's a tas, what did you expect? Lmao

[@legospacememe8468]

Bruh it's a speedrun. It's supposed to be fast as hell
