Rockman no Constancy: Flash Man [No Damage]
10I swear, I'll get back to work on Shining Force CD after this...
Just a random take of me running this rom hack, trying to beat it without using save states. Flash Man was one of my biggest bumps in the road to accomplishing this, but after so much torture, I discovered a way to no damage him in a rather easy, albeit tricky dodging maneuver to where I just HAD to share it.
He uses his Flash Stopper based on where you are and how many times you've hit him. If you don't touch him, he'll perform a Flash Stopper at random. If you shoot him, he'll fire a Flash Stopper after landing from a reactionary jump. However, the strategy is to lure him to the bumpy terrain to the right, then loop him to death with the knowledge of his usage of the freeze; tricky part is the luring. You have to jump, then fire the Air Shooter at the very beginning in order to force him to jump on the platform you're landing on. Then, jump over him at the predicted Flash Stopper, then maneuver behind him. After that, you have to keep up the pressure and fire again, so he can switch sides with you. Then jump once more to dodge the shot from the freeze.
Here's how to set him up for the loop from here: Instead of shooting him again, just leap over him when he gets back on the platform, then book it to the right as quick as you can. If you're fast enough and you've got good jumping skills, his attacks won't hit you. Now, once you're on the far most platform, you have to make a VERY timing specific jump the moment Flash Man lands on the second most platform to the right. Once you're over and below him, He'll attempt to jump back over you to get in range for his next Flash Stopper. This is where the loop begins - Fire an Air Shooter the moment you jump back to the platform and BEFORE he lands (if you're too slow, he'll just jump up there again and shrek you). If you time this right, he'll use the stopper, then attempt to jump back on the platform. Since you've already connected a hit from the pass, he's guaranteed to fire a Flash Stopper every time he loops back to the bottom platform. It's simple, but the hard part lies in actually setting him up for the loop. Once you trap him, he's cake.
Of course, this can be done with just the mega buster, too, but it'll just take longer.
Will I perfect run this entire game someday?
...lolno
Just kidding. We'll see whenever I get all of my projects done.
