Game.

OK, so I'm going to be doing an LP of SMC. And the games of the other characters!
This includes:

• Metroid
• Legend of Zelda
• Super Mario Bros.
• Mega Man
• Castlevania
• Contra
• Ninja Gaiden
• SMC
• I WANNA BE THE GUY

I'll be doing them all, plus the game itself.

Here's how I'll be dividing time up:

• Metroid: I'll probably go 'till I finish Kraid or Ridley
• Legend of Zelda: Not sure. Haven't played from start to finish, so no clue how long it is.
• Super Mario Bros.: I'll play to the end if you want me to use warp zones, World 3-ish otherwise.
• Mega Man: 6 Robot masters, you give me the order.
• Castlevania: 30min, then next boss.
• Contra: As far as I can go without game overing. I'm using the code.
• Ninja Gaiden: No clue. I'll probably stop at like 30 min or something...
• SMC: To the end with all seven.
• IWBTG: OH GOD!

So... What should I do first?

Start with Mega Man, in the following order.

Ice Man
Guts Man
Elec Man
Bomb Man
Fire Man
Cut Man

The order of the last three doesn't really matter. Ice Man's and Guts Man's stages are just noticably harder without the Magnet Beam.

I'm doing that last.

Ice Man
Guts Man
Elec Man
Bomb Man
Fire Man
Cut Man

I can do Iceman, but Guts man is suicidal. I'm not suicidal... Yet. I have yet to beat Gutsman without the Mag beam.

OK. You guys need some encouragement. Apparently, all the characters have at least a reference in I WANNA BE THE GUY!. I've never even downloaded it. You do the math.

[breadbocks]

Well fvck. I was looking at an old version of the game. The NEW version has a new character, Ryu Hayabusa, from Ninja Gaiden. n.n;

He has an advantage in some levels, but against Lakatu is lacking shows.

Also congradulations for somehow succeeding on the Letsplayer Steriotype (I Wanna be the guy AND a Megaman) in one letsplay series. 

Uhhh... I don't mean that as an insult or anything (JIC)

[breadbocks]

Never looked twice at it, dude. I took it as a sign that I'm awesome, and I haven't even started. Soooo... which of the character's games should I do first?

[Evergod41]

Might as well go with mega man...

[breadbocks]

I'll need an order, featuring Elecman before Gutsman.

Seriously. It's not that hard. Hell, before typing this I opened up my NES emulator, booted up Megaman and did that part on the first try. :|

I REALLY hate the extensive bits of platforming common to some of the MM games without the handy-dandy transport item of rush, especially if you miss the time you jump by one nanosecond, and get dumped down at the speed of light, and platforms can't catch you.

[Virex]

That is kind of the point of the whole LP, now isn't it?

[Earthquake Damage]

Oh my god I just had a nerdgasm!  This is the best game I've seen in months!

He has an advantage in some levels, but against Lakatu is lacking shows.

He's also impotent in 8-1 on the highest difficulty level.  Those triple spiky whatsits are all but impassable due to their spacing and his low jump height.

Certain characters seem to be far better at a given level than others.  Though I've found no use for MegaMan. He's pretty useless.  Link, Simon, and Bill R. seem to be the easiest to use.  Simon probably gets much easier if you don't use Classic jumping.

I will say I'm disappointed by the ineffectiveness of weapons.  I figured e.g. Ryu's sword would actually be useful.  It's not.  It's liable to get you killed if you try to hack rather than avoid/stomp foes.

Speaking of stomping, I was surprised to discover everyone can stomp things.  I learned it by accident, having figured it was an ability unique to Mario.

Anyway, this game is awesome.  Thanks for the link.
