Post here about anything Mega Man related that you find out.

I was browsing Youtube videos and I came across this:

I'm gonna try it out. Did any of you guys know about this? It looks like fun.

EDIT: Seems this trick might not work on all games (PAL version). Hope that doesn't include mine...

EDIT2: SQUADALAH! IT WORKS!

... I..

I was about to say "Yeah, I think that password's been known for a while"

...But now that  I see that one that WORKS... holy crap.

I'll have to try that later.

THAT'S SWEET.

Yeah, that pass has been known for a while. I tried it and got stuck when I used Storm Tornado on the Bee-Copter. It fell before breaking the bridge and I couldn't jump over it hah.

Here's some funfacts I know of:

•Dashing+Shooting does more damage. And is more useful than charge shotting bosses.
•You can use charged shotgun ice to get the heart tank in Sting Chameleons stage.

[Fatso]

Charged shotgun ice can get Kuwanger's heart tank as well.

Some more:

Flame Mammoth OOB through the dragon dispenser. Green background, instant death if you don't know what you're doing, etc.

Vile cutscene skip in fortress 1. Because the tops of ladders can be wallkicked, you can avoid ever touching the ground near the Vile door. The first cutscene is completely skipped, and with crafty maneuvering you can skip most of the rest.

There's a bunch of little MMX trivia bits mostly only relevant to speedrunning that I could share, but that would get pretty tedious pretty quickly.

•Dashing+Shooting does more damage. And is more useful than charge shotting bosses.

Yeah, I haven't played MMX in forever until I got the game back recently. I remembered this while I was fighting Chill Penguin.

Didn't know the Sting Chameleon bit though.

And I knew both of yours Fatso, but I haven't been able to master the Vile dialogue skip. I always manage to screw up when Zero says he'll take Vile on, as soon as I enter the corridor.

I got stuck on the highway stage with the Bee falling too, but I fell intentionally to check it all out. I knew I was pretty much screwed if I fell in, but did it anyway.

That's... how I always get it. >.>

Is there supposed to be another way to get it?

[ChaosVortex]

Step 1: Get the Dash parts.
Step 2: Defeat Launch Octopus.
Step 3. Play Sting Chameleon's stage. The whole place has been flooded with Launch Octopus gone. Go down that pit, break the blocks, and dash-jump to the far right. The water in the stage takes away the gravity from the jump, so you don't fall to your death.

[Majikn]

I always attacked Sting last, so I never even knew which level I cleared filled the stage.

I like that you can use that move to get the one in Boomer's stage because then you don't have to go through it twice just to get the heart tank.
