I hope that this same person makes another run in the future. When he was initially hit by the frog in Bubbleman's stage for just a touch of damage, I winced. A perfect playthrough tarnished by a nearly invisible mistake. Then, when he was seriously struck by Woodman, I couldn't help but think of, "You moved like they do...I've never seen anyone move that fast."
"Wasn't fast enough..."
But then he got to Wiley's castle. He had some excellent moves there and I certainly learned a lot from it, but as time attacks and perfect playthroughs go... he got 0wn3d.
Sorry, kid. You got the gift, but it looks like you're waiting for something...
Thanks for the video, though. That was a great half hour of entertainment and it reminded me once again of why Megaman 2 has the best video game music ever.
Well... Rockman 2 is much, much harder than SM3.
And anyway, this guy is my hero.
Use Time Magic to control time and space. Extremely useful allies.

I counted the hits I'm not sure it was the right number but some hits were needed
Two or three were required, especially in Wiley's castle. Getting smacked by the mini-frog in Bubbleman's Stage, Woodman's Leaf Attack in his stage, the Guts tank in Wiley's Castle, and all of the others looked like they were just mistakes. I wouldn't count the required hits as flaws or mistakes because they're required to show off more of the Mega Man series' quirky and useful bugs, but the others were unintentional.
It's a minor complaint, though. He still did great and taught me new tricks and bugs that I still didn't know about after all these years.

That's relative. For me, Super Mario 3 was an infinitely hard game. Its floaty controls and instant acceleration still kick my ass even today. Conversely, Rockman 2's stiffer controls, increased gravity, and minimal sliding made it a much easier game for me. Castlevania 3 is the same way, even though the ridiculous amounts of damage inflicted upon you by medusas and gargoyles keeps me from ever finishing it.

Yup, the original Rockman is much, much harder. But, after several months of abuse, finally smacking down the Yellow Devil was just -- so -- wonderful...
As for Morimoto's video, for the times he got hit, there only seemed to be one time in which the hit was the accident: in Wily 4 (purple), the second footed Joe right in front of the door to the shooting-panels boss. Otherwise, it actually seemed to me that he got hit for the invulnerability to pass through quicker. That was obvious when he was running through the spikes in the Wily 4 (purple) stage, but it was also necessary when he countered the chained spikes in the Wily 2 stage. (If I remember right, you can't pause one you use Gemini Man's power, so there was no way to switch to the Platform 3 power which he would need right after that first chained spike set.) Maybe it wasn't needed when he encountered Gutzdozer, though he was able to get right next to him and pound him with Quick Boomerangs. And, of course, against Woodman, he was done with him and didn't need to dodge the leaf to go any faster. Overall, point being, it might just be the same case as when Morimoto got a mushroom as his third panel in his SMB3 Video.
[DarkZero -- I'm not catching where he's getting hit by the mini-frog in Bubbleman's stage -- what's the time on the video where he does?]
This movie was a really entertaining watch. I knew about how, if a gamer pause and unpause while falling, you end up farther horizontally -- but I didn't know he could speed through the walls like that. Plus, speeding through the stages in his pixel-perfect fashion -- uber-l33tness. For what it's worth, my 900 ₧ go to him. May this video send many more sites spiraling toward 503 Bandwidth Exceeded errors. (Er, like Morimoto's SMB3 video almost did with Insert Credit -- sorry exodus...)
(I'm trying to remember -- did the North American version of MegaMan 2 have the additional percussion in the music of the MetalMan stage?)

Do let us know when you post your time attack.
My sentiment didn't really come across when I tried to toss in the obligatory "Time Attack = The Matrix" joke, but all I meant was that I felt bad that he just barely missed the bar that was set by the original video. Sort of like the way you feel bad for an NBA team that loses by one point. That was why I was hoping that he would make another video... to "go for the gold". But whether or not he already did that is in doubt now, because OmegaDog has found good reasons for most of the "flaws". I also didn't know that it's apparently the same guy, either.

Hrm... to me, it seems that he's barely grazing the mini-frog without actually making contact. I don't actually him getting pushed back, and in the milliseconds within that second where it seems like part of Megaman is disappearing/reappearing, he doesn't have the hurt expression. Also, as far as I can tell, his lifebar is still full.
Upon multiple repeat viewings, I just don't know what to make of it. I see the frog connect, I see Megaman become transparent (post-hit invincibility), and I'd swear that I hear the damage sound effect, but Megaman doesn't fall back and his life bar doesn't change. So that's half the requirements for a hit, but not all of them, which is really strange. I'll chock it up to video/sound problems in the video though, because if Megaman doesn't make the "Oof!" face, I guess it's not a hit.
So that leaves the Gutsdozer, one of the Joes, and Woodman. For 28 minutes of play, that's pretty much perfect.

Maybe it's one big edited video... maybe...
One of the larger, more reliable Megaman sites that has been around for years (which is, obviously, down for the first time in roughly EVER just because I want to link to them) claims that the video is pieced together and that there are occasional messages in the video indicating that the game is going in and out of an emulator's slow motion setting. And they state this as if it was so obvious that they had no doubt that we had all seen it already. I'm not seeing it, though. They probably examined the video with either VirtualDub or large amounts of inebriating substances, but I have no idea which.
