I wish I were the originator of this challenge, but I'm not. I simply named it a bit more appropriately, and decided to make an attempt at it. It's giving me a whole new appreciation for a classic franchise. The object is to finish the regular 8 (or 6) Robot Masters in a Mega Man game using only the basic Mega Buster (no charge allowed except where it's forced), without taking any damage, and without missing a shot or having a shot reflected (unless it's part of an enemy's fight mechanic or forced). Some stages have simply become nightmares, not even to mention how ridiculous certain bosses are going to become under these rules.
My goal is to complete the original 6 NES Mega Man titles using this challenge. It is a challenge-in-progress. The first Mega Man title has been fully completed by me under these rules.

So wait. I know Cecil did a buster only run, but you're doing a 100% Buster Run 100% Accuracy No Hits?
You, sir, are insane.
EDUT:
I would like to note that we welcome insanity here with open arms.
But seriously. Fucking nutjob.

Also, I would like to note that I watched the cutman video you posted, and I think it's very well done.
My suggestions:
Do the outtakes/summary on a separate video. Or maybe just the outtakes on a separate video. When these start getting up in the 20's and stages start taking a bit longer to get done I would think it'd be irritating to watch the gameplay and THEN the outtakes and then get the summary afterwards.
Which I know I can skip around or not watch them at all, but I'm obsessive compulsive like that.
BEND TO MY WILL

Oh thank god I'm not the only one like that here =P I may start posting time-links in the video descriptions on the actual channel, so those that want the outtakes (which seem popular) can watch them, or those that don't can skip them after the actual stage playthrough and see the difficulty analysis at the end.
And yes, I really am doing 100% accuracy here, because it's fun =D Sometimes. Sometimes it makes me want to cry tears of blood.

I know, right? It was like, the one time I was dicking around with Commentary is the one that I kill him on. My fucking luck. I'm not repeating 350+ attempts just for another successful exit LOL

Thanks! It's definitely taxing, but sometimes it's actually quite enjoyable. Just depends on the stage.
I never, ever, want to play Ice Man's stage again without Magnet Beam.

It really was. The fact that those Foot Holders are the most annoying things I've ever encountered in pretty much any game, combined with the fact I had to see them almost 400 times and watch as they ruined over 350 of those attempts... combined with the fact it's completely random if they cooperate enough for you to get across the pit? Yeah. It's on a whole different level of 'hard'.

And now for something that was actually fun in the challenge!
Would I do this again? Yeah, I could do this one again.

This one forced me to take a break because of the ridiculous precision that the fire droppers requires. Even though it was under 200 attempts, the precision behind passing underneath them doesn't get any easier.

And this concludes the original Mega Man/Rockman for the NES. Yeah, Elec Man was a surprise...

Oh, man, this is an insane restriction. You will probably never see me do anything even similar to this in the game world. I just do my insanities in real life, unrecorded. o.O
Anyway, I haven't looked through these, but I will will eventually. I have read everything here, though. Serdash got most of it covered, though. And yes, the OCDness is wide-spread here on ID, it's just that we have it scattered in different areas. So, something that is insane to one OCD person will be quite natural to the next, but we will all understand that it is possible to vade through all these weird challenges. :]
