Mega Man NES glitch

[Crimson]

I am wanting to attempt to do a speedrun/top score on Mega Man on NES. I know that glitches are allowed that come natural to the game, but there are exceptions. There is a glitch to where you spam the select button when your projectile makes contact with a boss, causing the game's internal RAM to reset which results as a new hits being registered to the boss. Is that allowed? It seems to only work with this game in the series. Just curious...:D

Yes, that is fine.

Is it fine? That makes the Rock Monster Boss really easy. I wouldn't think that one would be allowed.

Wouldn't this be similiar to Konami code use in Contra?

[elrod21]

Yes to me the glitch is extreme though not a code. Essentially once you get Elecman's weapon you can waste any boss just by allowing it to hit, and then pressing select over and over again.

This isn't like a glitch that will come up with normal play which seems like the kind we usually allow.
