You may sometimes miss the jump of the slide on the last one. That usually happen when your movement isn't so good on your first slide or you may have jumped too high off the ladder.
### Room 2 - Single Stair Room Another fairly easy room, this room contains 2 mets. To take care of the first one, you simply **A + B** and **jump** off the ladder. For the second one, just **A then B** *(not A + B)* or else the shot will be too low. [](https://goodboyrush.net/uploads/images/gallery/2025-06/mesen-0b3rfqgipg.gif) If you want to optimize a bit more you can add extra slides to speed up the room. [](https://goodboyrush.net/uploads/images/gallery/2025-06/mesen-clol6ntyi2.gif)The second slide is actually harder to save time with as you may jump slide a bit too far. Making the ladder grab a bit slower.
### Room 3 - Double Stair Room This is the first tight room of the stage that can be tough to do without taking damage or just clean in general. There's several things to pay attention in it. #### First 2 Mets Like the previous room, the first Met can get taken care off with a simple **A + B** as you **jump off** the ladder The second met is a **THREE HP** met. There's various ways to handle it. ##### Just walk If your mash might be inconsistent or a bit on the slow side. You can jump spam A and B as you walk towards the met [](https://goodboyrush.net/uploads/images/gallery/2025-06/mesen-vegeejeuaa.gif)Any extra shot will create extra lag in this room
##### Back damage boost strat A bit harder but you can use the forward bullet to take a back boost off of it [](https://goodboyrush.net/uploads/images/gallery/2025-06/mesen-odhsbzumcz.gif) You can optimize this strat by making it to the stair the Met is standing on [](https://goodboyrush.net/uploads/images/gallery/2025-06/mesen-vj6uwfeoka.gif) ##### Slide + Mash The optimal strat, you slide towards the met but you jump out off it to get 3 shots very rapidly [](https://goodboyrush.net/uploads/images/gallery/2025-06/mesen-ciezbhseri.gif) #### Last 2 Mets You need to pay very close attention to where this met will jump. [](https://goodboyrush.net/uploads/images/gallery/2025-06/chrome-klt6ru8qrf.png) There's 2 differents jump height the met can do, a low or a high jump. As you execute you may not have the time to check whatever jump the met is doing but you can easily see it depending of where that Met lands ##### Fast Pattern - Low jump [](https://goodboyrush.net/uploads/images/gallery/2025-06/mesen-qvt7aida0k.png) If the Met lands here, it means it will open a bit quicker, meaning you need get ready to kill it as soon as you get through the first 2 mets. [](https://goodboyrush.net/uploads/images/gallery/2025-06/mesen-hlrxpfqgoa.gif)The small slide is optional, can make it harder or easier depending of how you play. You can cut it out if you dont like it [](https://goodboyrush.net/uploads/images/gallery/2025-06/mesen-yxiscvm6zi.gif)
##### Slow Pattern - High jump  On the slow pattern the Met will delay its opening a bit, meaning you need to slow yourself down. You can do that by walking very close to the Met to the point of nearly bonking the stair he's on, and then a regular **A + B** [](https://goodboyrush.net/uploads/images/gallery/2025-06/mesen-pgbplasnif.gif) ##### Reactions to mistakes Since these Mets are on a timer the moment you are in their range, you need to be careful in case you miss the 2nd Met (most common mistake) In that case, you need to prepare yourself to hit that Met **earlier** than usual. Here's a mistake case scenario for both patterns [](https://goodboyrush.net/uploads/images/gallery/2025-06/mesen-zgpo5a6dci.gif) [](https://goodboyrush.net/uploads/images/gallery/2025-06/mesen-bxxbzr2lzp.gif) #### Full Room Examples + Ladder grab You dont wanna kill the last Met, its a waste of time. Jump to grab the ladder as you dodge the last Met's shot [](https://goodboyrush.net/uploads/images/gallery/2025-06/mesen-yaj4nchaix.gif) You can speed it up by sliding. [](https://goodboyrush.net/uploads/images/gallery/2025-06/mesen-nh8lijyo7v.gif)The higher you jump, the slower you'll be, try a low jump. The reason being that unlike some Mega Man games, you are unable to grab ladder offscreen
