Me and Baxter have given this a lot of thought and consideration. First of all, is this possible? Bisqwit? But the idea is so crazy that in the end, we could not resist to give it at least a try :) Once we've figured out how to combine our inputs for MM3-6, we'll do a test a stage to see how it works. The reason why we wont include Mega Man and Mega Man 2 is they are barely 16 minute runs, Mega Man 3-6 are over 30 minute runs so it would not work too well + you cannot obviously slide in MM1-2. First, we must complete our separate projects, his is TMNT2 and mine is next with Vatchern for Mega Man 3.

Its not impossible.
Edit:
Swedishmartin, Its because Baxter told me recently he know how to do it.

I don't think it's impossible, but I do think it's going to be really difficult to make each one of the movies meaningful. It's very easy to put them so that one or two movies progress nicely and the others are just pushing a wall for a whole minute, etc...

This is more than interesting. Do you have some more ideas? For example which levels you will do first? Do you consider to die (I think this will open more ways to make this project possible)?
It is an interesting concept, but I don't think the movie would be very entertaining.
Each movie played seperately one at a time, I would undoubtedly have to agree with you. all the movies played at once, however, would be somewhat more entertaining.

I think Megaman 1 and 2 should be included, but then again I'm crazy so you might not want to listen to me.
I think it should be okay to "cheat" a little by getting the player stuck in one or even two games as long as the rest are always progressing nicely. I mean come on. I tried briefly to make a MM1-6 movie, but I couldn't find a way to progress ONE SCREEN in ANY of the games without falling into a pit or something in at least 1 game. Granted, I only tried for very a short time (30 minutes or so), and I suck at this kind of stuff, and I didn't plan ahead at all ...
Agreed.
The mere thought of an "all together" movie gives me wet pants... uh
I know this is a bit rash, but... I hope we'll soon be able to watch a tiny WIP just to see how this could look.. no? (take that as an indirect command :D)
Anyway.. I love and support this idea.
There's no doubt that this run would be awesome and entertaining (especially if the two of you team up)
Go for it!

If they're aiming for killing Wily in all games at the same time, it will be a problem because mm1-2 are shorter than mm3-6. And not only because of that.
You could run the glitchy route in Megaman 2. This would involve playing all the way through most of the 'overflow' levels.
The glitch combinations which I refer to as Heatman's volcano, Airman's snow mountain, Woodman's swamp, etc are all reasonably entertaining. Even when done alone as fast as possible this route would take about 35 minutes, so timewise it fits with the other 4 games.
Megaman 1 might also be an option if it has overflow levels that are sufficiently colorful. Of course, six games would be quite a handful so then you'd probably want to drop one of the others.

Thank you all for your positive feedback. Speaking for both of us, everyones comment (even the sceptics) gave us extra motivation so once we are done with our seperate projects, this project will be on our menu :) Thankfully, I got experience (expect MM5) from all Mega Man games, so Im not some newbie trying this huge project. I think the timing is perfect (for me at least). Baxter is a person who quickly adapts to a game so he'll get familiar with MM3, 4 and 6 physics in notime. To be continued...

It would be so cool that the fact itself becomes more exciting than watching process.
IMHO, the movie would be more like evidence, not an entertainment. Because of that I think adding Magaman1&2 fits the aim of the movie more than some aestetic issues do. You may forget other aims (like "fastest time" or "no damage") but this goal ("show the fact") is the most important for such type of runs. And the fact of finishing whole set of games is more exciting than the fact of finishing just 4/6.

Keyword from that quote is: "just" :) Dont worry, of course our aim is to make it entertaining as possible, see my first post in this thread why we cannot include Mega Man and Mega Man 2.

Hehe, I'm already tuned into that mood of perfection, when the world is not enough.

I've read it, but I mentioned those length differences as an aestetic issue - it's not impossible to add short games, but it badly affects performance (cuts some entartainment ways) - so you need to choose between perfomance and significance of the fact. I'd personally choose fact (follow main goal to the end).

OH MY GOD!
Maybe now you people understand why AngerFist and Baxter are one of my favourite TASers. I'm so very eager to see what you two can accomplish together, and this being such a big project just adds more the excitement.
Btw AngerFist, aren't you makeing MM4 run with DeHackEd? Or is that already finished? As I remember, you were almost at the finishline when I last checked your progress.
Besides obviously getting the fastest time possible, this movie will (like hopefully every other movie) aim for entertainment. If it's obvious after the first level that it's a cool concept, but not entertaining, we won't finish the movie. We certainly didn't pick it to prove that it's possible to complete the games with 1 input.
The cool thing about a bigame movie is the fact that one input completes more than one game. If you'd make a movie which completes both Arkanoid, Monopoly, while still not losing a ball at Pinball, the whole idea of the concept is gone.
mm3-mm6 are not only in length more simular, but also stuff like sliding makes it look a lot more like 1 input is controlling it.
Besides; a great part of the mm1 and mm2 movie are based on glitches... which would be a lot harder to implement in this sort of movie, and wouldn't be any more special than what you can already see in the normal version of mm1 and mm2.
It's also pretty hard to focus on more than one movie while watching, but four movies is still somewhat viewable, since they can form a square. Six movies would be a lot harder to watch, since you'd watch them in a 3x2 setup.
But please feel free to post if you (and why you) like a mm1-mm6 movie better, we might have forgotten something while deciding... but the fact that it would complete the entire nes mm-series wasn't good enough since (like stated in this post) we think it might be less entertaining (which is one of the main goals).
