Mega Man 2 Speedrun Tutorial w/zips

This is a tutorial covering most of the strategy for the any% normal mode speedrun. This was created for Get Yourself Speedrunning, a speedrun racing and tournament series, for which Mega Man 2 will be played. See speedrunslive.com/gys for more info. This was streamed live on twitch.tv/duckfist .

This is a basic route for use by newer and intermediate players interested in speedrunning technique.

Note: Sorry for accidentally leaving the arrow on screen for like 20 minutes, starting at 2:18:30 or so. I hope it isn't too distracting. Also, if anyone identifies an error, let me know and I'll annotate in a correction.
