@@Secretxxx67 try and play it normally that bullshit nightmare and soul collection plus rescue system is unfair miss one rescue and that stick through the entire game
@@Secretxxx67 X6 has a lot of gimmicks that make the game harder that it needs to be, say for example the museum stage, if you want 100% rescues and heart tanks you need to redo that stage multiple times just because the rooms are completly random.
I just beat the game and this is the first time I've seen Gate with yellow armor I think. I played this game every day but never remember the end boss.
Casually, this game is too difficult, in spite of it having some of the best music and designs in the franchise. Speedrunning, this game looks doable and fun! I loved running through Heatnix once I had "storm eagle", and being able to do that sort of stuff the entire time and actually consistently beat this game sounds fun! I now want to speed run this and Luna Nights.
I can easily beat every game starting from MegaMan X up to MegaMan X5, but this particular game is so full of bu****it. I have never been able to beat X6 and I have attempted this feat 3 times at different stages of my life. I'm amazed at how easy these guys make it look like. Thank you for this speedrun, I finally saw the ending to MegaMan X6.
I personally love X6. True the stage designs are lackluster but I don't mind the difficulty. What I find the most fun about it is that you can revisit stages to save reploids you may have missed beforehand. The part rewards are cool, the stages changing makes it less boring and the boss powers are sick (except sentsuizan, fuck that move). Even X's blade and shadow armor in this are badass. Not to mention the killer music. X4 is definitely a cleaner experience and the best PS1 X game, but I just kept coming back for X6 runs.
I love this game, it was the first Megaman game I ever played. After this one I went after X5, and I didn't like it as much, and after that I tried X4 at the store and kid me really didn't like how much worse it looked compared to X6, so I didn't get it. Nowadays I can even enjoy a little bit of the NES ones for what they are, but X6 remains the most fun I have playing today. I know where everything is, what everything does and I can knock it out in one sitting.
The game is actually not that bad. I've played it and think it's pretty good for the most part. Not nearly as good as the other X games (except X7) but worth playing atleast once if you're a MegaMan fan.
True story: I first played X6 way back in the mid-2000s. It was at a friend's house and I didn't own the game. We were about to head out and do stuff, but he needed to take care of a few things first. I decided to give X6 a try while I was waiting and played it for about an hour. I beat the intro stage and got through most of Commander Yammark (i.e. the one decent stage). And that's all I ever knew of X6 for about five years. I was left with a very positive impression and thought it had some cool stuff going for it, namely the parts and Reploid rescue systems. That's why I was surprised after I got more into gaming that all of the boards and LPs were saying that X6 was terrible. Oh man, were they ever right! Nostalgia has never lied to me so hard.
As a lifelong fan of the Mega Man X, X6 was not only the hardest, but it was also the worst. On the footsteps of X5, X6 felt like it came out less than a year after its predecessor. Where X5 was a step down from animations, X6 left the original Japanese audio over English subtitles; where the X series had the occasional funny boss name, the boss lineup for X6 was atrocious; no update on graphics; hell, even the damn storyline felt rehashed (revisit X3 for the utopia/cult edge). I hate being this harsh about my favorite franchise, but this one was just bad. Then again, Capcom had way bigger ambitions in 2001
@@blankenbeckler1 “X6 felt like it came out less than a year after it’s predecessor “ that’s actually because it did. In japan x6 was realeased 1 day before X5’s one year anniversary and in America both games were released in 2001, with X5 coming out in February and X6 coming out in December of that year. They literally had less than a year and I doubt development was immediately after X5 due to that game having the intentions to be the last X game.
I swear I have MMX6 ptsd.. I remember being a kid actually crying because it was so hard and unforgiving.. but I oddly don't remember ever having difficulty with the evil red donut on Blaze Heatnix's stage so it must have been the worst trauma for me to have blocked it out 🤣😂
I don't think I can ever finish this game, need to die a thousand times before getting used to the final bosses. :O who's here from Dec 2018? shoutout to you all my fellow Megaman fans!
That's what I felt before but watching diff megaman x6 players made me realize they've also died thousand times before they master the game. I could say that I am now bein' able to finish the run for about 1 hr 45 min. Still, I am far behind to those. Lol
Reila Nimu I find that highly unlikely. It's pretty clear the direction each particular level takes. If anything the game feels unbalanced, since it was rushed.
Just finished playing this as X, albeit with full Blade and Shadow armor. Still really tough even then, especially when I had to back out of the Gate stages and switch to the Blade armor. I usually prefer it but Shadow Armor's immunity to spikes made that stage really easy until you have to hit that obnoxious long jump after beating High Max. Nightmare Mother was irritating, but she was fairly easy to overcome with the aid of a sub tank. The only things that made me truly rage in this game were the fucking donuts in the Heatrix stage and that initial set of jumps that you hit right away in the first Gate stage. I missed Jumper, so after running into the aforementioned impasse with the Shadow armor I went and hunted it down. Honestly Jumper is so strong that, combined with the Blade armor, I didn't even need to use the ice platform weapon. Giga Crush got me through the donuts. What really struck me is that this game's Sigma fight was a lot easier than most of the rest of the game. The first part is a breeze with Metal Anchor. The second was a little more frenetic, but Blade Armor's Giga Crush allowed me to manage the adds fairly easily and more or less farm them for health drops. I also had two full sub tanks, both of which I used, but being able to farm health from the adds allowed me to get a lot of damage in before having to use either of them.
Leo Stephan yeah I'm sure she's super tired of making a living by talking into a mic and playing video games, her life sure sounds hard. EDIT: not saying it's not mildly annoying, but there's a lot of things worse in this world such as being in any of the devestated areas that MSF operates in.
They have donations, setup, and everything. You can just skip to the beginning if the run. They usually have it in the desc. If not, it will be in the comments.
ok I havent seen any of the X games before except a bit of the first one, but I remember what he looks like and why does he look so different here? Upgrades?
I don't know the specifics, but it's possible that one might be easier to use making it better casually, while the other might do more damage but be more situational.
I agree... it was just not fun and the story was so bad. At least the speed run was entertaining... although they did fail to explain alot of game mechanics.

Eso se hace cuando Zero está apunto de caer rápidamente haces la vuelta hacia abajo y Zero quedará bugueado , eso es aplicable en todos los niveles , en TH-cam hay varios vídeos dónde enseñan hacer eso es fácil
do the grounded spin move on any platform that can be destroyed or sliding off a platfrom ( on ice example) this gives you invincebilty until you use the move again or enter a door or cutscheen
He explained it when he went through Yammar's stage. Ensuizan has invincibility frames. When he uses it on a platform that ceases to exist (Like in the instance of the beginning of Yammar's stage, when he uses Ensuizan on the mobile platform snail guy that then rolls into a ball), the animation for the attack gets cut short causing a glitch that allows zero to be invincible throughout the stage.
Reza Pratama that's standard for most of these runs. Either Japanese is faster or they do it for an apples-to-apples comparison regarding record times.
Actually, the method involves falling off of a platform before the spinning animation finishes. Because the spin slash has a bit of invincibility, the game still thinks you have it when the move is cancelled early. That's why you're able to trigger the glitch in the ice stage.

can confirm, I played the shit out of this game, saved every reploid, found all the upgrades, and never got past Nightmare Mother.

I've spent like 5 days fighting the mother lol. Most difficult boss in the MMX series.

The series was meant to end with X5. The ending where Zero goes cryogenic and X survives is canon.

Japanese words are smaller, so text is faster.

Why japan version?
Japanese uses less characters then English so you can go through text faster
invincible on the spikes can someone reexplain that glitch??
If you do the spin slash on top of something breakable you fall and get invincibility until you go through a boss door or teleporter.
thanks bro.
Actually, the method involves falling off of a platform before the spinning animation finishes. Because the spin slash has a bit of invincibility, the game still thinks you have it when the move is cancelled early. That's why you're able to trigger the glitch in the ice stage.
