Well, I think this is in fact the first PSP run to be put up on the site. What an honor. To record this, I used the Innovation PSP TV adaptor, which is basically a mirror in a fancy box that clips onto the PSP. It's not quite as good looking as direct feed, like a PSP2TV, (which requires you to open up your PSP, something I ain't doing), but it's better than a camera.

On to the run. This uber-remake of Mega Man 1 offers a little extra. Besides reworked stages and two new bosses, this game also times every stage, which makes everyone's lives easier. Also, MMPU has the weird option of selecting the difficulty level for every stage. You are not required to stay on one difficulty setting. So because of that, most of this run is on Easy because of less enemies, lower AI, and extra platforms.

• INTRO
  Another new thing they put in was an intro stage, complete with boss. I did this on Normal because enemies take to long to move around on Easy. There's not much to talk about here. The boss could've been a little cleaner.
  
  
• OILMAN
  For a regular playthrough, I would not recommend doing this guy first. But for speedrunning, Oilman is the only option because of his weapon. Oil Slider lets Mega skate along stages very quickly. While not very good for attacking, you never knocked back when hit, and you can do a double jump with it. For the stage itself, it was okay. I missed a damage boost late in the level, and Oilman isn't fun to fight with just the buster.
  
  
• ELECMAN
  Because most of this stage is vertical, Oil Slider can't get much use. I used it where I could, but I think it could be used even more. Great otherwise.
  
  
• TIMEMAN
  This stage will test you on evasion. Of course, with the Oil Slider, just plow through everything and watch your health. Besides some small mishaps, nothing to complain about.
  
  
• GUTSMAN
  Compared to MM1, there are more conveyer belts in this game, but they're not at all difficult. I had a problem with the Pick Axe Joes midway. Nothing else to report.
  
  
• CUTMAN
  They didn't change this stage too much. The only noticeable thing is that Cutman doesn't die with two Super Arms, so I make due with what else I got.
  
  
• BOMBMAN
  I love what they did with this place.
  
  
• ICEMAN
  I missed the second double jump, like I usually do. Everything else was fine. Soldier down.
  
  
• FIREMAN
  This place didn't change much either. FIIIIIRE!!!!!!!!
  
  
• YELLOW DEVIL
  Now we start seeing complete stage overhauls. And it's so nice that YD doesn't do his blob thing on Easy.
  
  
• THE BUBBLE THING
  I forgot this thing's name. Anyway, they switched this stage and the next stage around. And they made this guy a little more difficult.
  
  
• BOSS REPEATS AND CLONE MEGA
  Now we have a teleport room instead of fighting bosses in a predetermined order. Yay. I fudged a double jump on the way there, and my Cutman fight wasn't the best. Oh well.
  
  
• DR. WILY
  I chose Normal for the final stage because on Easy, you only fight one form of Wily. Like Symphony of the Night, you have to beat the REAL final boss. So I did. They gave Wily the old "use the boss weapons" schtick and you have to do the old "use the weapon his weapon is weak to" schtick. His Rolling Cutter sucks.

I'm pretty glad with this run. Beats the pants off my Maverick Hunter X run... I may do another one of these in the future. Until then, enjoy.

I went ahead and did a run with Protoman because he's just plain awesome. High jumps, quicker running speed, and automatic charge shots. How can you lose? With his low defense, that's how. Regardless, this is slower than Mega Man overall, but a lot of places are much quicker with Protoman.

There's not much to say about this run. It's by no means perfect, as evidenced by me slipping on some oil, but it's still a great run. I dunno if I would redo this in the future. Besides the usual mishaps, there's not much to improve on. Enjoy.

I admit that this isn't my first speed run... I had tried other games before this and each one needed improvement before they could be considered good... I didn't give up hope, but realized that I was approaching everything wrong when it came to speed runs... I then decided that one of my many new years resolutions for 2010 was to stop rushing and submitting and take my time with submittions... While I should still try to work on those games still, I continued to jump around seeing other games to try... Somewhere along the way, I was watching some of Satoryu's speed runs and happened to stumble upon a few megaman PSP speed runs (or rather all of them since all Megaman PSP speed runs are all property of Satoryu...) and came up with new ideas for speed runs...

I may attempt Maverick Hunter X later, but for now I had an interest Megaman:Powered up and one special feature it had... In case you didn't read the intro at the top of the page, "The game not only lets you play as Proto Man and Roll, but it also lets you play as each of the robot masters." I knew that I wasn't going to beat Satoryu as Megaman or Protoman, so I decided to try one of the Robot masters... Some robot masters are very difficult/annoying to play as (such as Oilman & Gutsman) while some are actually quite fun to play as... The question I asked myself though was, which one should I try first? It came down to two robots, and I still hadn't been able to beat the game with elecman on normal yet so I went with Fireman...

Fireman is very easy to play as since he has unlimited access to his Fire Storm attack, which he can fire up to three shots at a time & the ability to have a small fire shield protect him, so in some ideas, he is just like megaman, but his shots are more powerful... The only downside to playing as Fireman is two things: 1) Water: if he gets wet, his fire goes out and all he has to protect himself is just the fire shield.. This is only seen twice in the run; once at Iceman's stage, the other at Wily's Castle 2... Speaking of Iceman, he was the second reason for the downside since Iceman's attack are (of course) fireman's weakness, so he takes more damage if he is hit by iceman, and fireman's attacks barely hit iceman as well... Other than that, the run was simple and straightforward just like the other two Satoryu runs, but slower for obvious reasons...

The only other thing I can say about this run that makes it different from Satoryu's is also the inclusion of Megaman?, a clone of mega man who you fight at the stage that you are the robot master at (ex. Fireman fights Megaman? at Fireman's Stage), but it isn't much to extend the run by that much...

I'm happy with how this run turned out, and I wasn't expecting much since this game has pretty much gone untouched for about 3 years now, though it is nice to revive interest to the PSP (and to be the only other person on SDA to contribute a run on the PSP)

This run is decicated to the following:
Those who help me get these runs shown
The people who had put up with me and my bad runs
People who wants to do speed runs
and of course, Satoryu, who was the main driving point into me doing this
