Well some of you may or may not know that I am planning to make time-attack for MM5 on VBA, it's over in
this thread.
---------
Mega Man 5 (US) Run Plan
Boss Order
NEPTUNE -> Use Mega Arm -> Go to Mercury
MERCURY -> Use Mega Arm -> Go to Mars
MARS -> Use Salt Water -> Go to Venus
VENUS -> Use Photon Missile -> Go to Dark Moon
DARK MOON -> Use Photon Missile -> Go to Pluto
PLUTO -> Use Grab Buster -> Go to Jupiter
JUPITER -> Use Bubble Bomb -> Go to Saturn
SATURN -> Use Electric Shock -> Go to Uranus
URANUS -> Use Break Dash -> Go to Death Skull
NEPTURE
For 2 helicopter, slide to the right side (make them turn other direction) before they begin shooting (maintain to keep them on right side). Take hit from stream (during falling) and go thru next unavoidable streams (2 parts). Use nice timing slide and jump without falling (for 1 or 2 parts). Kill Nepture Boss. Obtain Salt Water (NE). Luck maintainable boss.
MERCURY
Use Salt Water to destroy falling barrel (SHOULD be faster with it - 2 or 3 parts), some enemies dies quicker with Salt Water rather than Mega Arm. Kill Mercury boss with Mega Arm. Obtain Grab Buster (ME). NOT Luck maintainable boss (attack pattern).
MARS
Use Grab Buster against mini-boss (some frames quicker than Mega Arm, should be...) Kill Mars boss with Salt Water. Obtain Photon Missile (MA). NOT Luck maintainable boss (attack pattern).
VENUS
Kill Venus boss with Photon Missile. Obtain Bubble Bomb (VE) + Rush Coil (RC). Luck maintainable boss.
DARK MOON
Free all weapons energy refill here - Use Photon Missile to kill Dark Moon. NOT Luck maintainable boss (attack pattern).
PLUTO
Use Salt Water to kill tunnel machine. Kill Pluto with Grab Buster. Obtain Break Dash (PL). NOT Luck maintainable boss (attack pattern).
JUPITER
This level is pain in the ass to "speed" thru, DON'T use Break Dash. Take hit and go ahead for most part. Use bubble bomb against ceiling enemy. Take right path (up ladder is dead end). Kill Jupiter with bubble bomb. Obtain Electric Shock (JU). Little luck maintainable boss (has attack pattern, but you can change where he go)
SATURN
Take left path at start. At path split, go down (left is dead-end). Kill Saturn with Electric Shock. Obtain Black Hole (SA) + Rush Jet (RJ). Luck maintainable boss.
URANUS
Use Photon Missile only mini-bosses (3 shots) and switch to Break Dash after 2nd mini-boss (jump down right ASAP when spike disappear, and hold right pass monkey).
Use Rush Jet for wait parts. Kill Uranus with Break Dash. Obtain Deep Digger (UR). NOT Luck maintainable boss (attack pattern).
TERRA
Kill Terra with Deep Digger. Obtain Spark Chaser (EA). Luck maintainable boss.
DEATH SKULL
Take short-cut, do sliding thru enemies in short-cut (with Break Dash invurability).
-Enker, Mega Arm, no other weakness.
-Quint, Photon Missile or Mega Arm.
-Punk, Bubble Bomb or Mega Arm. + try to maintain # of bouncing spiked ball?
-Ballade, Bubble Bomb / Photon Missile / Mega Arm.
-Teleport System (see bottom).
-Arm Bots, Salt Water (quicker than Mega Arm).
-Wily Machine, use Bubble Bomb to destroy gravity enemy from Wily's Machine (2 shots). Luck maintain timer bomb with 1 counter left?
-Wily (broken) Machine, use Spark Chaser (pretty fast kill)
SUNSTAR (final)
Luck maintain Spark Chaser to hit Sunstar better? Jump down ASAP when Sunstar destroy floor. End recording when dialog is finished (at "Leave Now!")
