This is it! After over an hour of hard work, I proudly present: Mega Man 2 - the fastest lag frame

Game objectives

  • Cause a lag frame
The game lags whenever you load a level, which obviously doesn't count. We are talking about the fastest gameplay lag frame.

Comments

All I had to do was manipulate the already quite laggy frogs to drop a large energy refill. As always seems to be the case with this game, there was another incredibly close route I considered, which I happen to think is much cooler. It's 17 frames slower: the second-fastest lag frame. It abuses a weird glitch with the air tiki horns where you can keep spawning extra ones if you scroll them off screen again and again. I actually showed this off in my Buster-only WIP, just enough to not cause any lag.

DrD2k9: Ugh....all these lag frames games slowing down game workbench progress. Well, I've discovered a way to eliminate this particular delay.

If this game were made for the GENESIS you'd never see lag frames!
