Current Events > You know what I hate about Mega Man 2?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Quick Man's level, which despite Internet trolling to the contrary, is completely impossible without using Time Stopper, which in turn is impossible to stop using, which in turn is the boss weakness, meaning you can either fight the boss without his weakness or grind against thise damn Sniper Joe mechs.

At least you get E Tanks.

Once you learn the force beam pattern it's extremely easy. You just need to make sure an input isn't eaten or you miss a small jump.

Time Stopper only drains half of Quick's health. Otherwise he's weak to Crash Bomber. and if you're playing on Normal he's quite easy with just the buster as well.
---

It's not that Q Man is particularly difficult, but rather that it's an abysmally bad design choice.

And no, it's actually not possible at all. The third screen, I believe it is, where you have the cascade to the right followed by the U-turn to the left, the best you can possibly do is to get hit as you're falling off the edge and almost to safety.

Have you played Mega Man X5?

Because the beam level in that game makes Mega Man 2 look like a warm cream bun in comparison. And it has an achievement/trophy attached to doing it without the time stopper.

I can do Quick Mans lasers pretty easily these days, even without the time stop. And Id rather do them ten times than deal with the frustrating crash bombs boss lol

I've done it a few times without using the Time Stopper.

But I have to be absolutely calm and focused.

If I'm stressed or distracted... then forget it.

It's possible. It just takes practice.

But, no. Seriously, just use the time stop.

The beams aren't even difficult

That Crash Bomb boss is the worst.

Probably a doen or more times. It's one of my favorite games in the series. I've done that part without the time weapon a handful of times but there's no real point since the following boss is a fortress boss.

Its conpletely possible and not hard at all. The fact that its literally a constant pattern you cant adjust to says a lot.

Boobeam Trap is another disastrous design choice, but it gets enough complaints already.

Megaman 2 beam level easy af, i barely struggled with it, I think it was my second level I beat.

like other user said, X5 beam level is 10x harder and is one of the worst level design in gaming history.

In the arcade games, he has rollers on his feet too.
