MegaMari - Mechanized Asthma vs Marisa and Alice

Post by ano0maly »

So today morning I checked talkhaus and suddenly I see raocow looking for this game in the request thread!

This game is quite memorable for me because it's one of the earliest games I've played in the indie/doujin category, and a co-first one for Touhou fangames (along with Super Marisa World). Both of these I found out about when I was just starting to watch raocow.

A Megaman 2-based Touhou game by Twilight Frontier blah blah you should know already

The Touhou wiki has some useful information on the game:
Bosses
Weapons
Items
Passwords

Video List
1 - the dumb one
2 - the lazy one
3 - the serious one
4 - the useless one
5 - the dependable one
6 - the hungry one
7 - the popular one
8 - the meanest one
9 - the smug one
10 - the fun one
11 - the thief
12 - the short one
13 - the sick one
14 - the sick one 2: now with a robot

wanted this to be escape goat 2 because after that is plauge of shadows and i have an idea for thread titles for that

but the weird pseudo-B-side shenanigans continue.

at least it's probably not much longer than a mega man game, unlike hyper light drifter

Talking about Mega Man 9 while facing the boss that does the 9 thing... right? Said this in the video, but I don't get the Touhous. But who cares when the game itself is good?

ooh, this game. i like this game a lot. it's a good example of a fan made product being tougher than what it's based on, but still managing to keep what made the original so great and have its own fun ideas mixed in

as for the next boss, uhhhh i forgot whos weak to cirno so go for sakuya cause she was the easiest for me and gives alice a good weapon

Oh Dang! Man the quality of Touhou fan games never cease from amazing me. I've actually bean wanting to play some of them myself. I'd like to get that Castlevania one but I've always had a hard time either finding it or installing it.

One thing though is that this game, for some reason, has a password system? Like, I understand wanting to do a send up to the Megaman games in that way, or even just like, the games of the past, but I've never understood wanting your game to have this kind of password system on purpose. It always felt like it'd be more of a pain than a charming bit of game design.

Touhou has awakened me from my slumber (at least on this site, ASPE reawakened me to watching raocow again in general). I do find it ironic that this is what raocow's playing now when I've been revisiting Gensokyo no Nazo (another thing I kinda hope he visits at some point given how Mega Man-y it is even if it isn't really a Mega Man).

I think I finished Mega Mari once upon a time? It's kinda been a very long time, though overall when it comes to "games that are Mega Man but also aren't really not Mega Man" I prefer RKS. Still, yeah, this game is hard. And stuff. And things. And oh boy this is exciting.
Because Touhou OCs can in fact exist, sounds fake I know.

I can't change my username but I go by Vali/Claire now (aka call me Vali or Claire at your leisure ^^).

I never update this currently playing section anymore, it's probably an RPG or something.

The moment I saw what the new game was I said 'oh christ' out loud.

Good luck, raocow. You're a braver man than I.

I should point it out right in the beginning:

The fortress doesn't have passwords, so it has to be done in one sitting.
It's also ridiculously hard.
And game-overing gets rid of E-tanks.
Have "fun"!

Also add Quartet X and Touhou Koukayaku: The Game in the suggestion pile. They're really good and stuff

I'm looking forward to this. This is at least the 4th LP I've seen of this game, which might be the most of any game I've watched, but it's still fun to see new videos of it. Tasofro does a really nice job with the presentation of their games, so that helps with making them interesting to watch.

I never realized until today how much I missed seeing Bob in raocow's videos.

Maybe you can savestate with this?

I'm not really sure how it works, but a shot in the dark is better than no shot at all.

I don't disagree with you at all but I do think there's one part where a password system is better than a standard save system. It can act as a pseudo-cloud save setup so you can migrate saves between computers or even recover lost saves.

I suppose, but that kind of breaks down now that we know the fortress DOESN'T have passwords, and has gone from "Weird, but not really a big deal" to "Yeah, no, this is actually kind of a hindrance now."

Which is a bummer.

Oh, wow. Pretty cool to see this gonna get LPed. I remember that my first raocow LP I watched was Nitroid, and at the time at the back of my head I was thinking "hmm, I wonder if he'll ever play MegaMari"... and now I know the answer.

From some of the YouTube comments, it seems there's a bit of a Shazaam situation where multiple people are sure they've seen raocow LP this game already.

I feel like they might be remembering the several times sprites from this game have shown up in things he's lets play'd already? Maybe?
