I was never a huge fan of the sliding mechanic in the NES Mega Man games ... since it essentially made you move a tiny bit faster, most people I knew would just use it repeatedly/non-stop instead of walking ... which kind of undermined the whole point of walking.
I guess that's kind of a strange gripe ... but I don't mind it not being there.

It's actually Hornet Man's weapon that gets you that bolt. Though it does seem like they built a few areas with sliding in mind as an alternative due to Protoman having that ability.Originally Posted by exit
I'd also like to point out that this game no longer feels so difficult. The first time through I was still feeling things out and getting beaten by all the little surprises. Now everything seems in order and I can beat most of the robot masters rather handily with the mega buster, though Hornet Man and Plug Man are still big pains.
One thing I'd like to ask is how some people are getting these absurdly short times in the time attack mode. I hauled ass through Wily Stage 3 in 4 minutes. I thought that was pretty quick until I saw that all the high scores are about 2 minutes quicker than that.
This is just an amazing DLC title ...
... I'm not sure about everybody else, but for me - between Bionic Commando Re-Armed, Mega Man 9, Braid, Castle Crashers, 1942 Joint Strike, Strong Bad's CGFAP, Dr. Mario Online RX and many others, I think that this is the first year that I've potentially enjoyed and/or appreciated more DLC exclusives than brick/mortar games!
"And the book says: 'We may be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us.'"
Couldn't have said it better myself.
I got AND beat it today. What a hell of a ride.

I'm on Wiley's Castle right now and god damnit all if this isn't the most fun I've had in a while. Seriously, I'm having a blast with Wiley's Castle, this is the farthest I've gotten in one without having to use Game Genie. I'm not sure if I'll be able to ride this to the end, but I'm just happy to get this far.

It would be great if Capcom followed suit with Mega Man 9 and released a soundtrack on iTunes like they did with Bionic Commando Re-Armed.
Some seriously great bit-tunes in this game.

You can import the OST and the arranged version, but they're about $40 each. Damn Japanese CD prices.
They made an arranged version too? (Now there's something that ought to be DLC for the game.)

I think it is, according to rumors.
I've been glued to WipEout HD.... So I just got around to downloading the PS3 demo, even though I'm buying it on the 360, so I can use my Hori stick. Not to mention I still have about 1200 MS points just sitting there, leftover from last month.
It's nice to see it's still harder than holy hell, all these years later. But I was disappointed on there being no widescreen support, but I'll live.
I loved the opening cinema, and the satire on the media.. Can't wait to buy this Wednesday.
I finally finished it. I kept my damage reducer and M-Tank until the Wily battle this time, so I finished... but just barely.
So.... I guess I start on my clear-save now... ^_^
I must have missed that part. Are you talking about the Chun-Li cameo?
I think it's how everyone just believes what the media says, as in, Dr. Light is responsible. Of course, when someone launches a terrorist attack on the world with evil robots, everyone calls his house to complain.
Okay, so I already have 64% of the accomplishments achieved, and if I weren't back at college, I'd probably be attempting to beat the game again and earn a few more. Also, I'm on a massive Mega Man kick at the moment, so... yeah, I think this game might be like a pork pie: Unhealthy, but just SO GOOD. I'm just basing this on what I've heard, never tasted a pork pie myself. Would like to, though.
But yeah, I digress. The more you play this game, the easier it gets for sure. There are a few parts that continue to frustrate me (such as a particularly vexing low overhead jump in Wily's second stage), but it's certainly manageable, and I don't believe any challenge is far out of the realm for most players... except for Mr. Perfect. Whoever gets that is a virtual wizard... nay, a deity. o_O

Insure yourself on those low jumps by putting Rush on the spikes. If you fall, you bounce back up. Easy.
I'm able to do that for most jumps EXCEPT this one, found at 2:40 in the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAO3u1uJmNU
I wish I could use Rush to ensure safety, but he'd just bounce me up to the ceiling spikes, and the jump itself to make without hitting your head and botching your jump is... well, it sucks. I can only pull it off half of the time, and I had to use a Spike Guard when I went for the Invincible challenge. I needed it too. :[

When in doubt, use Rush Jet, that things gotten me out of more trouble than necessary and is usually useful for those "not so sure I'll make it" jumps.
