Sorry I don't pay closed enough attention to every post ever made
And I'm sorry you missed the cleverness of my title. Hopefully whoever merges it will notice and incorporate it.

Roll and rush didn't seem to be effected by the virus. I wonder if they will play a part.
Man, there could have been a joke about Dr. Light being the Artist.

Now at some point I want to talk about the actually game. It was, quite easy considering raocow quick was able to perfect a boss. Combine this with the 99 lives he has in his Mario game, and you have low stress raocow. He'll lose his edge, and won't be as fit in the wild. We're seeing the beginnings of a ecological disaster.

That's interesting... The bullets and Dropots home in on you on Hard mode...
Hey raocow just a heads up... there's a hidden item in each non-Wily stage that unlocks something once you've collected them all.

I was not expecting to see this so soon. It looks like I will have to hurry up with Version 1.2. I would recommend avoiding Top Man until then. He is a little too hard right now.
This game is quite a bit easier than the first Day in the Limelight. Almost everyone who played the first one said it was too hard, even on Normal, so this game was made easier. The differences between Hard mode and Normal/Easy mode here are that everything does more damage and the behavior of most enemies changes slightly. The layouts of the levels remain exactly the same on all difficulties. No more 1-pixel jumps with wood blocks just because you picked Hard mode.
Snakeman's stage was the first one created and Airman was likewise the first playable character created. Originally, Airman's Air Shooter worked just like the weapon Mega Man got in Megaman 2 plus the wind effect. He just shot the three tornados and could not shoot again until all three went offscreen. As a result, Snakeman had the hardest stage in the game back then according to most people who tried it, and Airman was the worst character. Nobody really seemed to like it. Then Airman's attack was changed to how it looked in the video. Snakeman's stage was also shortened and made a bit easier (For instance, the room where you have to push the block down from the ledge originally had two Hammer Joes; one on the top and one on the bottom.)
Now Snakeman's stage is among the easiest in the game. It's funny how things work out sometimes.

Wait, didn't the plot of the original Megaman 3 involve Docdah Wowee pretending to reform so Dr. Light would help him build (and presumably pay for the costs of) a giant Robot, and at the same time creating a conflict on the mining worlds to serve as a distraction while he slipped of with said giant robot? It seems like it wouldn't have been hard to justify the player playing with the Wilybots in this context, without the drastic recasting of the scenario. Then again, I suppose you'd also have to explain why they ultimately turn against him in the end...
In any case, judging from what we've seen so far, this game is looking a lot more polished than the first installment. The level itself also felt a lot more like Snake Man's, while at the same time being given quite the gameplayical twist thanks to Air Man's manning up the air. Looks to be a promising start.

TIL the MegaMan series exists because of Dr. Light's low sperm count.
Re: Mega Man: Day in the Limelight 2 - Sequelising it up, yo
That also explains Snakeman's projectiles.
Re: Mega Man: Day in the Limelight 2 - Sequelising it up, yo
Oh geez, this is already up? Time to spend some of my day playing through the game before watching your series on it!

Re: Mega Man: Day in the Limelight 2 - Sequelising it up, yo
From what I've played so far, the bosses will get harder, but the stages themselves...
It's weird, I somehow have even less patience for bosses than raocow, so the stage itself will be fun but then continually dying at the boss with only sporadic gains is unrewarding. But then going back to "finish" the stage on normal, the entire stage + boss-fight becomes a joke in how easy it is (and much less fun). -End Opinion-
Will have to try Snake Man's level though. Also, I love the "hello world" reference. :>
EDIT: Just finished Snake Man. The boss is in fact immensely easier than the others that I've faced so far (Hard Man & Spark Man for reference).

Re: Mega Man: Day in the Limelight 2 - Sequelising it up, yo
I actually played this game! I'm of help after all!
I found this game to be much easier than the first one personally. And there is a total of 12 secret objects throughout the game. 8 for the normal levels, and 4 for the repeat levels.

I wonder if it is possible to move the green blocks and crush SnakeMan?

I don't think so. They're more or less meant to be your platforms for dodging Search Snake from what I was just testing. He wound up being the easiest boss of the four I've faced so far because of proper pipe block positioning. What a fun game this is. Anyway, now that I beat the level you played, I'm queuing your first video up right now.Sebby19 wrote:I wonder if it is possible to move the green blocks and crush SnakeMan?
Edit: You did Snake Man's stage better than I did. I botched the E-Tank pickup, and you beat the boss faster than I did, too.
Re: Mega Man: Day in the Limelight 2 - Sequelising it up, yo
It was actually a quite succesful run of that level in general. raocow went through the majority without dieing, in part thanks to those well times health drops. He did so well in fact, we don't even know if checkpoints are still generous.

Considering how my run's gone so far, I can say the game's as generous with checkpoints as the first one was.

Actually I was surprised how little trouble the snake heads gave raocow in general, though that may have been my inexperience with the normal enemy.

Re: Mega Man: Lime in the Daylight 2 - Sequelising it up, yo
Riverroad, since you're going to be doing an update, there are a couple things that seem like they should be fixed.
First, the game does not save the max number of lives between sessions if they are set to infinite. On each startup, this setting reverts to 5. EDIT: I don't know why, but after testing this with 10 and then testing again with infinite it saved the max life count as infinite. I'm now slightly perplexed.
Second, something that's slightly more annoying, directional input is not preserved between screen transitions. I don't remember if this was part of the original game and it may therefore be more 'authentic', but it just feels jarring to be climbing a ladder or moving forward and then suddenly be at a dead stop once scrolling occurs. Though, if this intentional, then I'll get over it.

Yeah, hard mode Top Man is a bit much for most of the 2Crew to handle. Also the button presses not being carried over between rooms is a Gamemaker quirk. As far as I know, nothing can be done about it.
The new version is out now, btw

raocow often breaks bosses on accident, but that was just ridiculous.

In response to the first video; does anyone know if crushing SnakeMan with the blocks does anything?

These games are too easy. Instead of an angry and incoherent man spitting savant like it was poison, we get this stream of uninterrupted random gibberish, which can't be fun to anyone.

Re: Mega Man: Lime in the Daylight 2 - Sequelising it up, yo
Huh. I went about that boss fight all wrong. Welp, I know what I'm doing once I load this game up again!
Edit: And yep. I figured that was where the secret item was at.

Re: Mega Man: Lime in the Daylight 2 - Sequelising it up, yo
Well...that boss fight was embarrassing. I guess Gemini Man will have to change for the inevitable next version.
Bubbleman originally could not trap enemy projectiles in bubbles and he walked even slower on land. Just like with Airman, he was pumped up to the point where he is a bit overpowering now. When I tried this boss fight, Gemini Man would walk to the left side of his little platform and stay there if you tried going toe to toe with him, so I just assumed it would always work like that. Oops.

As Aura said, that is a problem with the program used to make MM: DL2.
