Is there something different about MM1's jump physics depending on whether you have ground beneath you or something? It always feels like I fall way too fast on this bit.

If the floor opens beneath you, you'll fall like a brick and die instantly. Jump before that happens.

>>6206047
I noticed that, yeah. It felt like that was happening even when I jumped, was my point.

As a kid that was hard, though.

[Anonymous No.6206195]

>>6206101
OP was literally asking a fair question about About the physics. He wasn't saying it was too hard or anything, just commenting on fast MM seems to fall in 1...which he does fall really fast in.

Quit being so goddamn combative about every post on this board.

I've noticed same thing, but I thought it was just me. I'm not 100% positive, but I feel like there is a difference. I know that if you fall down a pit in MM2 it's nowhere near that fast.

Just check the assembly code

If, hypothetically speaking, someone were to report this guy, what reason do you think they (hypothetically speaking) should give? "Trolling outside of /b/"? "This post is extremely low quality"?

[Anonymous No.6206524]

>>6206021
It's like you don't just fall, it's like you're sucked down into the abyss. Maybe it's just programmed that way for that specific stage.

[Anonymous No.6206530]

>>6206524
No, it's like that in Ice Man's stage, too. The physics were literally designed by a mechanical engineer, so the feeling of "realism" in falling was intentional (just like the constant "slippery" walking instead of suddenly stopping like in later games).

>nobody answers the fucking question
MM1 is coded so your fall momentum is preserved when landing on certain platforms, so you have to jump again, rather than straight falling, to reset your momentum.
Obviously remedied in later games.

The platforms on that stage are not actual floors and Megaman continues to fall downwards at maximum velocity constantly while standing on them. They simply reset his position each frame so that he continues to be placed at the top of them. If at any point you are no longer touching the platform then he falls down instantly. This is also why it's very common to fall through the platforms on Ice Man's stage when trying to jump onto them.

Thank you for explaining, anon. Not OP, but it was a good question.

>>6206021
i'm pretty sure 99% of MM game code is devoted to testing for situations to drop a 1up down a hole

[Anonymous No.6207778]

>>6207658
Actually collision is completely fucked in old 2D games
they dont any sweeping just test a few select points after moving
doing slopes is a nightmare of edge cases

Oh, neat, thanks! That's really interesting!

Sorry the rest of this thread went so horribly wrong.
