You know that Bolt in Clown Man's Stage? This one? Yeah, it took me ten years to figure out you can ball hop to it. My mind was blown. Rush Cycle? What Rush Cycle?
Thanks for shooting this one in my direction, Keiji Dragon!

Exploiting Mega Man 8's Mega Ball
Who doesn't love the Mega Ball? This is a weapon you can literally punt into enemies -- death by (practically) a kick ball. Humiliating. WMD capabilities aside, the Mega Ball can also be used to reach hard-to-reach areas. When timed properly, you can pretty much exploit the trick into ascending to staggering heights, and even cruise through stages without touching the ground! Keiji Dragon shows off these feats and more in his video compilation, "I Totally Like the Mega Ball."

I knew the Mega Ball was awesome, but not this awesome!
ReplyDeleteI guess that's why they call it the (Makes Dr. Evil gesture...) MAGIC 8 BALL!
ReplyDelete(*Slaps self*)
wait, did he just get through the jet stages with that thing!? OH THAT'S SWEEEET! why didn't i know of that trick when i got stuck at the one in wily's castle?
ReplyDeleteThe video is called "I totally like the Mega Ball." =)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post!
Mega Ball is broken! I use it to get to hard to reach places, but damn!
ReplyDeleteHeh. I remember using the Mega Ball to save myself in the first Wily stage and to get the Bolts in Aqua Man's stage (and others) if I passed them, but I never thought to go from the bottom to the top of the area! Those look like a lot of fun. Warp Zone and Minus World? XD There are even three pipes in the opening stage!
ReplyDeleteBut that Bolt in Clown Man's stage is a lot easier to get with Rush Cycle due to the short ceiling, unless you are really skilled with the Mega Ball. :P
come to think of it, samus could do this long before mega man could. glad to see another arm cannon user besides Ms. Aran can pull off jumps using explosives!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I always love MegaMan 8 content, since it's my favorite game in the series. I don't care that everyone else else seems to hate it, or that Capcom won't bring MM to modern day consoles. At least I'll always have MM8 *sniff*
ReplyDeleteI just got mega man 8 disc for a modified ps3 and it's hard to or we just cant bounce on the m ball yet did we miss something in the intro or is it a glitch or something. alert I'm a noob at programing.
