Mega Man 9 dated for North America

[edczxcvbnm]

I just played this game the other weekend. It wasn't that hard. I beat it in a few hours. The main thing is trying to figure out who kills what. I probably would have beat it twice as fast had I known that to begin with.

I will eventually buy this on the 360 once I get not so lazy.

*plays megaman 2*

Man that one is still the best by far.

what I love about my long term memory is that it sucks. I've completely forgotten the order to kill these guys in now. For some reason I always remember the first guy to kill in these games, though. Maybe another run through is in order.

Last time I got to the last boss, but he wouldn't stop killing me so I threw an apple into my backyard very hard. Wrath. Might be a while till I beat it.

The last boss is a pain. :P I used like two or three energy tanks on him. xP

Well, now. We've been stuck for a while.

Since so many of you claim to have beaten the game, maybe one of you can help us.

First my brother tried, then I did, then our friend, Stone tried. All three of us have deemed the area impossible to pass.

Wily stage 1, in the area where you come up from the bottom and must get to the top through three horizontal magma bars which do not give you a clear shot. Ever.

EDIT: In addition to a description on how to do this, a video showing you doing it would also be much appreciated if you have the required hardware and software to make one.

Wily Stage 1As soon as you enter the screen, use Rush Coil to your right and jump to the left ladder, then hit the top magma beam with a Concrete Shot.

[The Ceej]

Concrete shot freezes magma? I tried that. I tried all the weapons. Nothing worked. Video, please? I want to see exactly how I'm supposed to hit it.

[KentaRawr!]

Concrete shot should freeze it from any angle. Test it out on Magma Man's stage before you try it on the Wily Stage.

Thank you. I'll be sure to show this to Apex and Stone.

By the way, that end boss is badass.

When I first reached that place where you're supposed to work your way up with Concrete Shot I didn't even know the weapon could do that kind of thing Instead I found out that you can just call Rush Coil to jump up. If you time it right, meaning you have to call Rush the second you enter the screen, you can do it and it's become standard procedure for me. I know from other forums that I'm not the only one who figured that out and I also read that some people who tried it didn't have luck, but I can assure you it works. If you want the "Conservationist" Achievement it's probably a must, but I'm not sure.

Here's a video: YouTube - Going through lazers without concrete shot
But the guy in the video does it a little different, more complicated. The first jump he makes goes to the left ladder, which only leads to the Engery Tank, but you can reach the right (middle) ladder as well. Not the one to the far right of course. But if you climb up the middle ladder you can jump to the right side and go on.
