Tool-assisted movies (7)

This game was originally known as Rockman 2 in Japan.

This is a prime example of how time attacks should be done. Very creative, very nice.

Morimoto has since worked on a significantly improved version of this movie with the aid of finalfighter, available here.

(Original filename: ロックマン２.fmv)

This is the much-awaited new fast completion (TAS) of Rockman 2, which took almost a year to make.

The movie was played originally by Morimoto, until finalfighter took over and replayed a few of the earlier levels and completed the Wily levels on his own.

Timewise, this movie is almost 3 minutes faster than the previous version. It involves tons of glitches that have been precisely calculated in order to attain the fastest possible completion time. There are many more glitches / tricks in the game than are utilized in this movie, but most of them are slow and not worth performing in a run aiming for speed.

The homepage of this movie and its related material is at globetown.net (archived, in Japanese, with parts translated in English).
