Mega Man 2 - No Damage Run
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- In this video, I beat the whole game of Mega Man 2 in one segment on difficult mode without getting hit.
I had already accomplished this feat for the first game some time last year (part 1 of that here: • Mega Man - No Damage R... ). For a while, I thought doing this for any other game in the series to be nearly impossible. In time, I learned a lot of tricks from a number of sources, and I eventually began to think that this might not only be possible, but actually not too hard. Sure, the fact that it has several more levels than the original makes a perfect run more of a pain, but overall there aren't too many worrisome parts. This still took me a while to achieve... maybe longer than it should have. I had 2 runs end on the capsule stage, with 1 going so far as the Wily Machine's second form. In the end, I eventually manage to achieve my goal of a perfect Mega Man 2 run. Yay!
If you're familiar with Mega Man 2, you might be wondering how I manage to get past 2 Air Mans, 2 Quick Mans, the Boobeam Trap, and Wily Machine 2 form 2 all in one go. For Air Man, Item 1 is a must. He has 2 tornado patterns that can be almost impossible to dodge. With proper use of Item 1, however, this threat can be significantly diminished. It's still harder than you might think. Interestingly, oftentimes when you touch the gate while riding Item 1 during the fight, you end up in a glitched Wily stage 2. Because of this, I use a different strategy for each fight. Quick Man can also be insanely cheap, but you can stop him in his tracks with a metal blade. If you lure him to either side, you can stop him and have just enough time to get another shot in with either the mega buster or crash bombs. With the Boobeam Trap I use the pause trick to dodge. While it's possible to avoid the shots without it, it's simply too hard to pull off consistently. I know this is cheap, so sorry. Also, one crash bomb has to be placed in such a way that it destroys both a barrier and one of the shooters. This is because having a crash bomb for Wily Machine 2's second form is essential. When he has multiple bouncing shots coming at you, they are simply impossible to dodge. A well placed crash bomb can hit him 3 times with a single explosion. Aim just below where he would normally get damaged while he's moving back and you're good.
With these and a few other tricks, along with careful and strategic play, I flawlessly conquer Mega Man 2.
Enjoy!
This is not a tool-assisted run. No save states or slowdown were used.
I've never been able to defeat Air Man without taking damage. So hard.
So hard? That's what she said.
@@Chickenz663hard? as in a hard man?
@@Chickenz663 like my 🐓
Wow this is really impressive!
Also it was perfect when you shot to the music.
GoldFrenata lol ikr
GoldFrenata and
I do that all the time on my Wii U and 3DS, sometimes without making any progress. I just sit and shoot. Helps me think of lyrics.
I’m dyingggg it’s my favorite part. Who does that?? So much fun to watch
Genius pure genius
When I saw you skip the first energy tank I was like, “what is he doing!?” ... “oh yeah, I’m a moron.” Mad respect on on this. I was born in 1983, and I never imagined something like this was possible.
Early or mid-to-late 1983?
@@johnsesia9050, middle of 1983. Why?
@@rossfryer3902 So just within the mid-1980s range.
@@johnsesia90501983 is mid 80s, lmao. Doesn't matter if early or late 83.
@@ChromeCobra Early that year was still early that decade.
Mega Man 2 has the best music. Brings back memories...
Also, this guys a pro.
Mega Man 2 is the best MM Game ever
Not really. Other games in the series are so much better designed.
@@57yearoldjamesbond Not hard for future games to be better when they only had like four months to make this game and it was while they were working on other games at the same time. It was a passion project and nothing more. The future games of course had longer development times and bigger budgets.
@@57yearoldjamesbond agreed, 2 isn’t even close to my favorite mega man game (including the x series)
@@RacingPoint-io8yk It’s not even close to that Mega man 3, 4, 6 , 7, 8 9, 10 and 11 are much better. Mega man 2 has to many flaws despite being fun to play most of the time
My God I am learning so much from this run. The way you handled Airman and Quickman were both extremely impressive. This was far more entertaining than watching a speedrun.
7:33 was an absolutely fantastic dodge.
2 years later...still a great observation!
The way you took out Quickman was genius. Also, I love how shooting in time to the music is a universal thing everyone loves/does.
I absolutely love how you shoot on the beat while playing. Reminds me so much of myself when I played it as a kid, haha.

Love how you shot the gun to the beat of the music. Lil
I hate You i thought i was the only one who noticed lol
you are so very smart while playing rockman 2. are you a megaman fanatic?
I come back to this video every now and then because I STILL don't have the order of bosses memorised XD. Huge congrats, you deserve this.
As quickman being an RnG nightmare, you executed that method to perfection
This guy deserves the entire internet.
44:50 the lights flicker accros your room at night.
See GameChamp3000s run on it
at first when i saw the title of this video, I didn't believe that you could do it without taking damage but you did it and i must say well done NotEntirelySure that was a amazing run! you deserve more views!
Man I had no idea Crash Bombs went right through so many things. And your Air Man strategy was brilliant. That's as far as I've gotten so far but I'll be back!
you are awesome for not skipping the blocks on heat man
Well he didn’t have item 2 so he couldn’t
@SoldierHawke Metal blades are like oil. They'll never run out ever!
Wantonly wasting ammo and then jumping over weapon capsules is so disrespectful, lol.
I like this so much more than a speedrun. It gets silly watching players get hit over and over just to save a second or 2 on their time.Congrats
Love learning from No Damage runs and Speed runs. Well done.
Lol in the Wily refights you got the double hit on Crash Man with Air Shooter, always happy when that happens
0:22 I thought I was the only one who did that XD
When that frog jumped back at you at 13:04 I almost lost my shit.
still is regarded as one of the best in the NES series. To this date, it stirs the debate as to which NES Mega Man game reigns supreme and it's always been between Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 3. No matter which game was your favorite, this one had a lot of fans and brought a lot of good memories to those gamers who were fortunate enough.
Bubble man's music is so awesome!
mayandios Promise of Redemption from Get Equipped has a much more somber tone to it.
Bubble Man and Quickman's stage has awesome music
i wonder what kind of moaner would give a thumb down to such a dedicated achievement! Very well done!
Jelous ppl or trolls
@@calvinishere3813 or Dr. Wily himself
This game has the sickest jams. Also, nice run dude!
28:18 lol u fire your buster along with the music XD
MAN LITTERLY A GOD AT THESE GAMES
this video, if real, is the bafflingly ridiculous result of the efforts of a crazy person.
and i should know.
Why would you know? Lol, are you privy to something that nobody else is?
You know that's just bullshit game design at 36:55 when you literally *have* to pause buffer to avoid damage. Easily the worst designed level in the game, IMO.
+Linktothe_Awesome You don't, he just does.
Linktothe_Awesome HEY I'VE SEEN YOU ON THE TOP 15 ZELDA SONGS VIDEO
Linktothe_Awesome You said that you finally beat 4 swords
I NEED HEALING
Super Hype Soup I can upload a Song of Healing piano video for you (guess what game I'm referencing).
You live up to your name
Look at Megaman flicker all the time. Battletoads managed to not do that..
This is much more valuable than a speedrun as there are fewer people who do this and this is harder, no need to even mention that you used no savestates. Do you use a turbo controller by the way, if not your shooting is very fast.
THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE
DJ Rarity *facepalm* watch the video then
Yu Ri I did. Before I thought it was impossible because of quick man, now I cna do it.
Because of wily machine phase 2
Metal man weapon, the deadliest of the deadliest.
Even to Metal Man.
Nice run, ever since I was a child I never figured how to do Air Man, Quick Man or the Sentry without getting hit.
26:10 best part
oh yeah
See? This is why I think you are one of the best players ever. I love your videos, and you should get much more views on your videos, and not only on your 600 points on SMB video... Great work!
What the hell?!? Oh man I never thought to use metal blades on Flash Man!! This is amazing. Good job. You're a pro.
Yeah, you have a point. Normally I can do those parts pretty easily without needing the time stopper. But every little bit help, I suppose. If you use it in the final section in Air Man's stage, the birds will just stay in place and block your path.
I left a comment a year ago like "NO... DISLIKE" but I've changed my opinion. It was because of the method that you used against DWN.012, but I understand that you must beat him in that way if you are playing without saves.
43:44 What?! How was I not aware that Wily was an alien!
(Never seen the entire game played, don't hurt me)
Its a holographic flying projector with weapon but the only thing that work is to use bubble man's weapon to short-circuit the projector.
He is not, it is a hologram. Mega man wiki says so.
Very strangely, this was the very first youtube video I ever watched 😶
Love how you just shoot twice here and there to match the music.
Firing on rhythm made this all the more enjoyable. :D
This music is some of the most memorable on nes. Some of it makes me think of maniac mansion.
This guy is shooting when he hears the music
28:19 shootin to the beat!
Hey! I already did the same though I had to use save states and used a different order.
My order was:
Metalman
Woodman
Airman
Crashman
Flashman
Quickman
Bubbleman
Heatman
I'm doing this segmented right now and I can't even understand how someone could do this all in one go hahaha. Even after watching it and seeing the safety strats, I still don't think I could do it XD
im most impressed with you not getting hit by bubbleman....and airman! killer run!
The Quick Man derpage is ridonkulously hilarious.
Even beating an easy game without taking damage is impressive but beating any of the Megaman games without getting hit? That’s hardcore.
My kinda player. Once they get the metal blade, you see Mega Man in Green and Yellow more than you do his classic colors. As it should be!
0:33 Why does mega man keep flashing in and out of existance?
All those presses on screen causes flicker, and youtube cut the original 60 fps video to 30 fps so you can't see mega man at times.
Mega Man 2 has the best overall soundtrack by far from all the other games in the series. I listen to this full no damage run while I do my work and it keeps me focused!! Adds some suspense, too! Thanks NotEntirelySure!
Still going 7 years later! 😎🫂🙏🤖
1:59 aaaahahahah you shoot out the beats to the song? that's f---ing adorable.
Every other time Dr. Wily bowed his head in defeat, he was secretly plotting revenge.
In this case, he's too busy trying to figure out how he didn't hit Mega Man once using AN ENTIRE ARMY OF ROBOTS.
Crashman leve is the best on yet that really took me back please do more ill send you my old nes game if you do it to the rhythm again
Havent played this a long time, i really like the no damage run!
Very, VERY satisfying to watch.
DAMN! insane skill and dedication.
Mad impressive to say the least.
i actually watched the whole thing... impressive bro
Way to go NS. Beautiful job!
He's shooting saws to the beat of the music Crashman's stage.
Best music of my brief childhood
you are the best at Mega man series
39:12 - Why are Air Man's projectiles going slow and just stopping? Seeing something like this makes me think that TAS was used as it's nearly impossible to beat Air Man without taking damage and you did it on two instances.
His projectiles stop if you're standing on item-1. And normally, yes, Air Man is nearly impossible to avoid damage if he offers one of two patterns, but with some practice and careful use of item-1 the threat is mitigated. He's still one of the trickiest aspects of the run.
The pausing exploit is absolutely not cheating. Pausing the game initiates Mega Man's teleportation. Since this is clearly an intended ability, then Mega Man should be allowed to dodge projectiles and keep himself safe by prolonging his teleportation for as long as necessary.
The only other thing I can think of that might make complaints of cheating legitimate would be if NotEntirelySure used a turbo controller. Turbo fire would constitute an unfair advantage, since it's not a standard gaming tool. After skimming the description, comments, etc., I was not able to determine whether a turbo controller was used.
Shut up, you pretentious twat.
Oh my.... best video in the internet
Very clever Quickman strategy!
Anybody else sing the Megas' Get Equipped lyrics while watching? I downloaded the album from a single video, but haven't found time to properly split the songs yet.
Ballsy on the Heat Man level without the Jet trick!
ive never seen someone play crash man that way, nice strategy.
17:04 - only proof you're still human
17:04
I can tell you like the music. ^_^
Damn good player too.
and good on you for keeping up with the beat!
I see I am not the only one who shoots along to the music.
holy shit..... that is bad azz... i congratulate you
Wonderful skill...I was hoping to see it done without the pausing feature. Also, any reason you don't use Air against the Sniper Joe walkers? One attack eliminates them.
ITS imposible to Dodge the 2nd boss un Willy castle without it
@@TutorialPIU The 2nd Wily boss? I've done that without pausing or getting hit dozens of times, and I wouldn't consider myself anywhere near this person's level of mastery.
@@reedr7142 the 4th boss sorry , the boss that you need to use the crash bombs to defeat it
@@TutorialPIU Gotcha. I have at times waited until just before those things have shot, and walked off the ledge. The bullets all missed me. With practice, I'm wondering if that can be done repeatedly until all the shooters are destroyed. It does get easier to dodge, with fewer and fewer bullets coming at you.
*NOT ENTIRELY SURE* how you did that. (get it?)
+MegaMarioCraft niiice
ha.
Wow @ the Quickman kill. Never knew that, Quickman was always my least favorite... that is an awesome trick.
Damien Cooley quickman is weak to flashmans weapon
@@yuri5385 I think he was talking about stunning him with the metal blades then switching to the crash bomber
@@yuri5385he's weak to crash, Flash is a secondary weakness
13:26 :D you played the track your gun i liked it
The peace soo beautifull ending
30:10 actually you can use the time-stopper to avoid drills to come out
True, but it's much more helpful against the presses shortly after.
Ohh I thought it back up much more time hahaha
Yeah, it is. And Metal Man is the best Robot Master ever, and Wood Man's stage music is the best ever, and Mega Man 2 is the best Mega Man game ever. Jewel Satellite doesn't even exist, there aren't any good songs outside of Mega Man 2's soundtrack (except for Flash in the Dark, which is very similar to Wily Stage 1 and 2 music from MM2), and Mega Man games will NEVER be able to best Mega Man 2.
don't think I didn't notice the shooting along with the music. watched the whole thing.
Hell of a run man
Instead of using metal man's ability, I found wood man's was more useful during Crashman's level with the spinning heads on the moving platform. Still... Way better job without getting damaged than me xD
Nice, >:]
was worried he didnt play on difficult but he did, altho this could be a sliced run? did someone check it
@17:10 - that swag tho
Do you have a video explaining your boss strategies?
you always beat air man before you beat crash man, so that the boss fight won't take 2 hours to beat, and item 1 comes in extremely useful for the level
item 2, sorry
Lol, no, you don't always do Air before Crash. First, this isn't a speed run. Second, item 3 is the crucial item in that level along with item 1. Third, you save Air for when you have the item 1 for a safe no damage chance.
7 year old comment but you still look like a moron.
I'm guessing you start with Metal Man for the rng of those stupid drill things.
How do you keep collected so well? I mean, about half way through I'd be like "Don't mess up. Don't mess up. Don't mess up... DAMNIT".
Seriously, why do people start with Metal Man? Air Man gets you item 2 which helps with Heat Man stage.
Well, his weapon is pretty alright.
well flashman's weakness is metel blae
why do people ask why we start with metal man... use the damn weapon, you will see
I go Air, then Metal, Bubble, so on and so forth. I get item 2 for Metal Man so I can easily get the E tanks.
Brussels Sprouts Gaming heat man and quick man you do almost last. Its seems best that way. Metal man gun is pretty bad ass and over power
Jesus imagine if you got hit by the red acid right before the wily fight
I really like how you shoot the megabuster to the beat tho😁
The ultimate troll playthrough
RESPECT R...E...S...P...E..C...T
42:49 What? 1hit from clashman 😮
Yes... really, those arm is a bomb.
@MysticL10 Dude, opinion.
