Mega Man 4 As You've Never Seen It Before: Let's Play Rockman 4 Minus Infinity!
Remember when I posted that LP of Rockman CX? Well, what if I told you there was a romhack out there that did the same things it did, but actually good?
"Made by talented ROM hacker: Puresabe, comes Rockman 4: Minus Infinity. A ROMhack that does what others only dream of achieving.
It is a masterwork in terms of game design and ROM hacking. All of the weapons are powerful and fill different niches. There's at least one or two impressive new features on each level, and they're integrated into the game well.
Many of the bosses change their pattern at critical health. They also have custom AI patterns designed to counter the Rush Cannon (a one-hit-kill weapon) that they switch to when you equip it. They become extremely difficult, but not impossible, to hit in this state..
The levels have branching pathways and hidden bosses from other Rockman games that have also been given massive boosts, plus new enemies from other games in the franchise, make an already fantastic game a platforming masterpiece. "
But is that all true? Let's find out!
Rockman 4 Minus Infinity #1: Ring Ring Ring (Heavy Sigh, jspades, and Great Joe)
HOWEVER! There's more to this LP than just that! This game comes with its own Hard Mode, and there's a hell of a lot more going on with that than a simple damage boost! We're going through the whole game in Hard Mode, so get your weapons ready for some truly fiendish platforming!

I remember when I was playing minus infinity how I often forgot it was a romhack. it just feels like a great fangame instead.

It's about time you stop torturing yourself with subpar hacks and play one that's pretty dang sweet.

Now armed with drills, we finally get around to Dust Man and his hodgepodge of weird gimmicks.

You know what this game needed? DINOSAUR BONES.

and In today's Hard Mode episode, the runs sync back up, so now you can directly compare what Hard Mode brings to the table, like DOUBLE HELL WHEEL.

This level contains some graphic cursing, so I must kindly ask that all children to either leave this thread now or be accompanied by a legal guardian.
