Crash Man is weak to Air Man's Air shooter. He jumps when you shoot, but the exact angle is slightly random. If there are no Crash Bombs on the screen when he jumps, crash will also shoot at Mega Man. On the US-normal mode, Crash Man takes 2 hits from the Air...

There are two main strategies to the first half of Dust Man's stage - Bright Man's Flash Stopper, and The Pharaoh Shot. The Pharaoh shot saves a little time if executed well, but the Flash Stopper strat is significantly easier. Both strategies dictate jumping...

The screen after Eddie and the Checkpoint is a crusher room. Strategies for this room tend to be cycle based. This room in particular is covered by Chelney's tutorial videos. Note you should switch to the desired weapon in the checkpoint room. Fastest Strat...

After the crusher screen, if you are not already using Ring, switch to Ring. The gumball machine takes 4 hits from Ring. While a well placed Ring will hit it 3 times instead of 2, you need to fire two anyway. The Met on the spike screen can be killed (3 shot...

Damage Tables To Dust Buster 1:1:3 Ring 4 From Dust Contact Damage / Getting Bodied 8 Dust Crusher 4 Strat Dust Man always opens the fight with a Dust Crusher. The weapon "explodes" on the 4 diagonals when it reaches...

Damage Table Buster 1:1:3 Dust Crusher 2 Wire 1 Buster Strat The Cossak Catcher has an interesting quirk - it stops moving if Mega Man slides. You can use this to essentially freeze the Cossak catcher in place, and work on optimizin...

Screen 1 Slide off the ledges to the right. You might wanna start charging here without releasing, see Stored Charge Mechanic for more information about it If you need the weapon refill (presumably for Pharaoh), switch to the weapon and hold right against th...

There are two paths through this screen. Going to the top right is faster. Balloon There is a tight space to get a balloon jump and not bonk on the platform above. This is the fastest method as it does not have Rush's pause animation, but it can be tricky. ...

Take advantage of the walls and slide all the way up to them. Jump and shoot the Mets as needed. Be careful with the jumps and proceed as quickly as you can.  As a reminder, you cannot jump out of slides underwater in Mega Man 4 Safe way - Damage boosting ...

One of the most difficult screens in the game to execute properly. We will go through various ways to clear this screen without taking any damage. For all the strats the beginning will be the exact same. 3 regular slides, bullet slide, then slide. This is aft...

The first three screens are mostly sliding and jumping as fast as possible. Keep in mind the distance Mega Man is from the spikes when sliding though. It is possible to slide into the spikes before the first ladder if you slide too far On screens 2 and 3,...

If you hold a full charge shot, and switch weapons, the charge will still be there when you switch back to buster.

Use Bright BEFORE the snail fully forms, then jump through the hitbox. On the first Escaroo, this is trivial. On the second Escaroo, if you take a death, the second time you enter the screen, there is a frame perfect soft lock if you Flash/use Bright on the f...

Buster 1:1:3 Drill Bombs 4 (full contact) Entering the Room A very subtle free time save - Toad Man does not spawn until Mega Man touches the ground. By weapon switching inside the room to Drill, the game thinks Mega Man is on the ground...

Use Bright, and slide as much as possible. Remember you cannot jump out of a slide underwater Shooting the last two fish prevents them from jumping out of the water when the flash ends. This is both convenient and reduces lag. If they miss, just continue. Ju...
