I think i found a glitch in Megaman 1 (aka rockman). I'm not sure at all how it works, and after watching the latest video, i doubt it would save any time at all, but i think ill just toss it out there. When using fireman's weapon, theres this circle of fire that appears around Megaman. Normally to keep that circle up, you would need to keep firing each time the circle dissipates. Somehow, i was able to get that circle to stay up many times it's normal duration. I'm not quite sure how i got it to work, but i had it work twice or so. I have the .fcm of me doing it but i dont think it would be very efficient of me posting it... It was just me fooling around with the game at like 200% speed or something like that. Unless this glitch is known, i think it would be cool if someone figured out how it works. It may make a (slightly) more entertaining TAS?
Just an idea.
