Ring Man: Full Stage, No Damage, Uncharged Buster Only, No Miss, Pacifist, No Projectiles Destroyed

Learning to love Ring Man’s stage Mega Man 4 always had that part that I used to despise, which was Ring Man's stage in its entirety: having to deal with turrets (Wall Blasters) in cramped platforming sections followed by four annoying mini-boss fights…Jeez Louise! What were they thinking?! Speedrunners never had much of an issue here, as they can skip three of those four mini-bosses with clever damage boosting, but that’s now how we operate on this channel. We are glass snipers. Our passion lies not in speed, but in dodging; not in deliberate damage boosting, but in careful shooting. That’s why it was quite a surprise to realize that during this challenge I honestly started to see Ring Man’s stage with new eyes. And, dare I say, I actually started enjoying it! It’s pretty fun! Ring Man’s stage: No Damage, Uncharged Buster Only, No Miss + ?? As far as I can tell, the traditional No Damage, Uncharged Buster Only, No Miss approach to Ring Man’s stage owes¹ a lot to Fellon250. I can’t stress enough how important — and difficult — it is to be the first person to realize that it is possible to clear hard sections consistently (along with sharing how to do it) as Fellon250 did with that stage and many others. Whoever comes after that breakthrough (me obviously included) has an easier job, as it is all about executing what someone else discovered, instead of trying a bazillion of different approaches seeking for something that may not even exist or be possible. (By the way, my very first video on this channel was also based on a Fellon250’s study: how to beat Cut Man with the Hyper Bomb. It was only because of his efforts that I was able to find a consistent way of doing it²). Back to Ring Man’s stage, once I learned and tested what to do to clear the standard version of the Holy Trinity challenge (No Damage, Uncharged Buster Only, No Miss) based on videos³ by Fellon250, Nico, Dave0, and Hunam 1, it was time to start trying different approaches to spice things up. Well, guess what? There are ways of making that challenge even more interesting! For instance, we can add two more restrictions to the set: Pacifist + No Projectiles Destroyed, culminating in what I’m calling a PaciFiYSt challenge (as shown in this video). And who knows? Maybe other players will bring even more restrictions to the table and push the envelope of this challenge even further! That would be awesome! ¹ One can check Fellon250’s great video on Ring Man’s stage here:    • Ultimate Challenge Mega Man: Ring Man (No ...   ² Fellon250’s video on beating Cut Man with the Hyper Bomb:    • Hyper Bomb vs Cut Man   My video on how to beat Cut Man with the Hyper Bomb without taking damage (recorded after studying Fellon250’s one):    • How to beat Cut Man with the Hyper Bomb (N...   ³ If you enjoy No Damage, Uncharged Buster Only, No Miss challenges, make sure to check the following channels from the very skillful Mega Man players: Dave0:    / @davman1212   Hunam 1:    / @hunam_1   Nico Evaluates:    / @nicoevaluates   ***************** Music Credits: Original Music by Toby Fox (Hopes and Dreams) Undertale Soundtrack administered by Materia Music Publishing. #megaman4 #nomisschallenge #FiYS
