It's going to be useful for your 100 points run in the future.

Use my knowledge.

I actually spent more time on deciding how to present this than preparing the materials, even though I struggled a little bit to gather Mega Man themed visual aids. I'm happy that this published version allows timely pause for people to digest the information and to discern the rooms given in their respective playthroughs. Despite the potential confusion in Sunken Library, I do feel that the non-platforming difficulty is unique on its own - despite having the most graceful regular stage clear time limit in the game, I place this on par with Energy Facility solely for this puzzle-ish design. And also yeah, the Sunken Library is perhaps the most important location lore-wise in Z3 for its connection to the period of time before the series.

I hope that helps!

On the options menu there are 3 types of attack mode's, only attack mode B can charge both weapons at the same time.

Yep. Only attack mode type B lets you use both weapons independently of each other. It’s basically the same as how the X series did it from X4-8.

@@lightningedge but how do you actually place your fingers on the controller? You can charge both weapons while dashing and jumping. Assuming you place your main in RB dash in LB then jump is A and sub is B. How do you charge both weapons while dashing and jumping?

I play this on keyboard via Steam’s version of legacy collection so I can’t advise you on that. However, I’d say it’s a norm for people to press two buttons (A and B) with their thumb at the same time.

​@fyuira9585 for me, dash is on rb, sub weapon on lb. If i want to keep my weapons charged, my left index finger presses lb to charge sub weapon, tip of my right thumb hits my x button (im using a xbox controller), so i can still use the rest of my thumb to jump on a and can still dash with my right index finger on rb. Hope that helped!

I have your videos to thank as a huge part of my homework. There's going to be a ton of explaining to do when I get to the respective boss analysis.

Keeping things simple is probably what I do best. 😆

A friend told me the same too! It was the clutch that made me want to keep the footage.

Some of the things are discovered by pure accident, but it looked satisfying to me personally so I decided to keep them in the final choreograph. That also enables me to showcase what is possible/can be done despite the difficulty.

I sure did.

Yeah. I think the magnetic pull deserves mentioning the most because not only is it intimidating, it's generally how he stalls the fight since the only way to hurt him is by slashing while jumping over him. I daresay it's something that people normally wouldn't think of doing to save time in the heat of adrenaline.

I personally see it as a design oversight so I chose not to abuse it.

It's a shame that such a degree of incapacitation only happens in this game - which led me to think that it's perhaps a good thing since this places the game at the bottom of the difficulty scale. If you think about it, the four Mutos bosses are indirectly representative of the Four Guardians when it comes to general strategy. - Ganeshariff is extremely easy when looped properly like Harpuia. - Blizzack flinches and staggers a good distance like Fefnir, which warrants the control to happen at the edge of the arena. - Anubis being airborne and made easy with upward stabs/charged saber matches the fight against Leviathan. - Herculious and its stagger resistance matches that of Phantom, which also discourages recycling the combat sequence used on other non-airborne bosses. The first four bosses are training dummies to me, the Four Guardians are the real deal that puts all the training into application. Thanks by the way!

​@@lightningedge That's an excellent observation regarding the four Mutos Reploids in the final stage. I never thought about it like that.

Weapon control type B

At the bottom half of the button config screen, attack mode Type B lets you use both main and sub weapons independently of each other.

Honestly I can’t find any other way to make the fight simpler and shorter. 😅

yeah man. i only wish Lightning's other mega man pals are as good as him! wonderful video!

@@Jacknte I could have, yeah. However, most of the time my main objective isn’t to pull off difficult stunts, but rather to find methods that anyone can perform with minimal effort. Reversal is something that requires lots of practice to solidify its fluency, hence I opted out of it.

​@@lightningedgeunderstandable

I know right? You'd think for someone capable of breaking panels like MetalMan (let alone multiple at a time), Guard would be useless - but its lack of penetration is proven with such futility. I hope to eventually accumulate more footages to showcase how shield-based playstyle can be quite underrated. Till then, this is but a casual stunt if I may say so myself.

@@zoonisha4387 Technically I’m not the one trying to win. 🤣

@@lightningedge just give up gutsman, i have the high ground!

Zero probably talks to Copy X's hand.

I was initially going for a full no-button press, but it’s way too RNG based to achieve that since his patterns have to be done in specific order to achieve this feat - and it boils down to the stage run to set up his RNG. Possible? Yes. Do I want to spend time on that? Not really.
