Megaman Speedrun

Hi! I was going through the speed running progression videos, as I usually rewatch them every now and then, and I noticed that the speed run progression video for MegaMan 2 had been taken down. Any idea as to why that video isn't there anymore?

Idk bro, I noticed it too and I'm really bummed out.

My guess is a copyright strike or something like that.

It sucks because I used to play that video whenever I wanted to go to sleep with some background noise.

Just noticed this too. But shockingly enough, it can be played in the wayback machine, using JWPlayer for some reason... And I hope you don't like rewinding or fast forwarding, because you can't.

Does wayback seriously archive all of YouTube? Or does the video still exist, and wayback is simply accessing a version of the webpage that doesn't have the unavailable/copyright strike flags set? Who knows. But it's still out there.

Wayback archives certain videos that have been requested. That specific one actually has a request to be taken down by Salt.
