You can also drop Danger Wrap without the bubble by holding down while using it. I think that's what works on the ground Spine enemies.

Burst Man gave me trouble at first because I was shooting the trap bubbles instead of dodging them, so I kept getting caught, floating up to the ceiling, and dying.

Then when I shifted focus to actually dodging (and firing charge shots), he went down pretty easily. Amazingly enough, bosses are easier when you try to dodge their attacks, who would have ever guessed?

I like MM7 quite a lot and I'm happy that you share that enthusiasm, raocow. It's simply a Good Game with many neat touches and nice visuals and it plays well, it has a decent challenge to it but isn't unreasonable, and the weapons are great. Obviously it's not as mindblowingly fantastic/shiny and new as MMX, but it doesn't really have to be. It's imho the perfect showcase for why Classic games do have a "right" to exist next to the other series', and it's a little weird to me that it still kind of failed to fulfil that role back when it was "necessary".

I freely admit that for once, I might be a little nostalgic for the game, though. I have to this date never seen an NES in real life, but I did see MM7 as my first Mega Man being played by a friend and it was insane to 10-ish year old me. He was playing Freeze Man's stage and the polar bear sprite already wowed me, like he moves and roars and icicles fall and he makes ice cubes from his breath??? And the boss itself, I couldn't comprehend how you'd ever be skilled enough to beat such a maniac. My friend did do it, but it seemed like something I could never hope to achieve, you'd have to jump and shoot and dodge all that stuff on the screen and how would you even react fast enough? At that point, one should add, I either didn't own a video game console myself yet, and/or had only been exposed to slow and deliberate platformers like Yoshi's Island, or something exploratory like LttP, and I was very...impressionable to anything less low-key. Like that buddy also had Lufia II and the intro fight against the giant enemy sprites? Crazy shit.

Anyway, that was my impression of MM7: super hard, super fast, super cool and then you go that splash screen of Mega Man with new colors and my friend told me that you could now use the boss's OWN WEAPON? Like holy darn how cool is that? He had a password for more stuff unlocked and I just fucked around with the weapon on some stage's first screen, maybe that did set the stage for my obsession with them far later, haha.

To close that story: me and the friend kinda drifted apart after a few months as can easily happen at that age, and I actually never played any more of MM7, and indeed, ANY other Mega Man game until I discovered the videogame-related internet at least 10 years later. I sampled all the NES games because everyone was making constant "Mega Man" references and I never understood them, but they had to be good, and they were, and it took me until I did finally play MM7 myself to realize that it was this game that way back then had left such a lasting impression. And that is my relationship with MM7, thanks for reading!

Hey raoguy don't forget to activate the special music in the special music stage

[Ashan]

Wow, I don't think I ever sat around in this stage long enough to know the music did stuff past the Guts Man part. I thought it was just a Guts Man remix.

[Dragon Fogel]

...did I hear right, and you just claimed to have a telepathetic link to your computer?

[raocow]

look I'm not proud of this power

[MonkeyShrapnel]

It's probably not on purpose but I can't see that purple robot as anything other than a robot version of Waluigi

[YelseyKing]

The Robot Museum theme samples Gutsman, Heatman, and Snakeman's themes. It's a really long and elaborate song for a stage you spend about 30 seconds in before reaching the boss.

I actually had trouble with that silly clown robot the first time I played MM7. Oh, I laugh.

[Bean]

It's not that easy. If you use charge shots, it's even worse since Mash's head flies off way faster and at angles that make it tougher to dodge both it and the body. Thunder Bolt is its weakness if I remember right.

It is, until the head is on the floor. Then it's Danger Wrap.

[Voltgloss]

I know for sure I beat this game in the past, but man I have zero recollection of this clown boss fight.

[Truckeeben]

Sisi Truck is SO WEIRD. I have no idea why he exists but he's the best. Shoutouts to Sisi Truck.

[Dragon Fogel]

Does sliding towards Turbo Man work for dodging the Scorch Wheel, or does it track you? I did buster duel him after beating the game, but I don't remember how I handled that particular attack.

*checks Roahm's video*

Okay, Scorch Wheel *does* track you, but you can also slide under it if you're at the wall and wait until it actually locks in on you. Then you just back away to avoid the follow-up flames.

Or, of course, you can use his weakness and he'll just counter with car form, so you jump over it and hit him again for an easy loop.

[Bean]

Slide under Scorch Wheel when you're near the wall. If you're close, that attack is very tough to get over. You still did at the very end which was kind of amazing to be honest! You actually did miss something in that level, but it can be put off until the eventual backtracking anyway.

[Kilgamayan]

I don't know what everyone's talking about TurboMan is super e-z

I like how the one stage that has an alternate hidden music track is the one stage that you pretty much *have* to do at least twice if you want 100% completion. Probably wasn't *intentional*, but I do like how it worked out.

[Leet]

Well, mark that down on the list of "bosses whose grab attacks you can mash out of that give no visible feedback for", because I never knew you could mash out of it, and consequentially beat him without ever doing so.

This happened to me recently with Draygon in Super Metroid too, but in that case, I looked up that you could while I was fighting it.

[Bean]

Another way to avoid that dive attack is to stay almost underneath Shade Man in the center of the room and slide away as that dive arc won't be as wild. The further you are away from him, the harder it is to avoid getting caught. It does heal him, but it takes a moment to start up.

Noise Crush is pretty cool. There's the way where it bounces off the wall, but if you're quick, you can slide into a shot you just fired for an instant charge shot. This is a viable technique on one boss. It also causes a funny glitch that can OHKO two specific bosses if you do it right, but it's tough to time.

[Kilgamayan]

I'll probably repeat this later when it's more immediately relevant, but don't forget to try Noise Crush against Shade Man in the refights.

(Also don't forget to try Thunder Bolt against Spring Man in the next video!)

Did raocow just mention Sh*dman? High five!
