I have been playing Megaman on and off my whole life and have never seen someone play it like this. You literally have to dedicate thousands of hours to run through this game like this.
@HanQ In all fairness, it does state, even in the video, that it's a TAS run. I really appreciate the fact that the creator of this vid fully admits it, and that does make this fun to watch.
It's tool assisted, which means he can save automatically where ever he wants, and he can slow the game down to make the jumps more accurate in the game! He explains it in the text... So he really isn't playing the game like the average gamer... But, even for tool-assisted, it's a VERY good run! Keep up the good work, rogueyoshi!
This is a sick video!! I liked the precision. I would be scared to mess up but this player must have been practicing 24/7. He got all the mavericks the second time with the hodjucken punch!! Good job
After 5 years of watching various TAS runs of many different games, this remains, far and away, the most entertaining video I've ever seen, and I'm not a huge fan of the Mega Man series.
man this is amazing X2 is the only one of the X series that i've never beaten.didn't even make it to Sigma-.- also the "fire uppercut"-thing never even heard of it. incredible. I will now start to play the game again^^
man this game was SO AWESOME when I was a kid. damn.... this game was jus the thing to me... it was just so cool.... I'm sorry for repeating the same words over and over again. I miss those times..
I'm not normally one to make these kinds of comments but, at the time of this post, 74 people didn't read the description telling everyone who's read it and those who SHOULD have read it that this is a Tool Assisted Run.
Look in the video description. You download an emulator for the game, then slow it down and play it throughout. You also use "save states" which saves every little bit you do, so if you mess up you can go back to where you were and try again. When you finish the speed run you speed the finished product up to normal speed to look as if the player(s) were as fast as they are at reacting and playing the game.
basically, "luck" in these games are all algorhytms with various outcomes depending on the actions of the player. These can be memorized to a degree to give a player an advantage.
Oh god this video is hilarious. The way he totally destroys the programmer's intentions is amazing, nice use of the grappling hook there to save precious time.
tbh this guy sis not say he wont use glitches and bugs, he just show you what u can do/find in this game and in half an hour he got trough entire game,and made fun video of it, but still a pewpew vid =D ^^
sos un genio!!!!!! lo pasaste rapidisimo y encima agarrando todo!!!!!! y esa capsula secreta del appercut de fuego sirve un monton los matas a to2 al toque!!!!!!
The completition time is 31:42. TAS timing is from powering on the game until the last input needed to beat it. Ignore the length of the video encode, that one doesn't matter.
I take that back the first comment was right, they played this on super slow speed on an emulator, and they used save states so if they messed up they could go back and fix it with out you noticing
Yes some nonMegamaniacs should believe it, but still don´t lose credits for the movie, some errors you can see it when you touch some enemys and you did not recieve any damage, and some highest jumps that you can really doin the real game. But, great video. Make me remember I have to play for 10000time.
I want to teach me to play megaman x2, because you're the best, by the way this video is what I needed, best video I have not seen this in my life, I've solved all the problems I had, really.
As cheesy as lots of games on super nintendo were, the Megamans were always legitimate games. Megaman X will always be my fav cause it's the original X and it was such a sick game.
To know how to pull off the tricks, to know how the game decides what to drop from enemies, to know boss weaknesses, to know the fastest way of movement (down to the frame) etc etc
I agree, Zero's parts are collectable items so they should have been included in the run. I'm sure the player could have used savestates to make sure the X Hunters landed in stages he wanted.
no this is the kind of stuff that impresses me. I only wish that i could have as much skill as that. I wish that I could be fast like that without an emulator
You have to wonder how Sigma would feel, after orchestrating an elaborate scheme of reploid rebellion and world domination, to have it single-handedly thwarted in about half an hour. Rather deflated, I'd imagine.
The only flaw I see in this run is a slight error at 2:22 where he doesn't quite make the jump and spends a frame or two against the wall. It's only a slight flaw in an otherwise perfect run. I absolutely love watching this.
while watching this it's fun to imagine that this is how it would REALLY happen, if mega man were real. cause he's that determined and that well-designed and just that damn good. :)
This guy has been playing this game for way to long it seems. He is way to pro, he knows every trick and trade of every level and every exploit such as the getting hurt and climbing spiked walls. The ball fights he knew every fucking location he was gonna end up next. He his this game map in in head 100%. I bet this guy could beat this game with his eyes closed.
it's not a speedrun done by someone with a pad. It's a tool-assisted speedrun, read the description. btw the World Record for a speedrun on this game is pretty damn impressive too (33:14 by exosda)
According to the video details, one of the criteria for this speed run was to use save states. So the player is probably not this good normally. Maybe they are, but they also might've used save states to get the best possible playthrough. :)
What's interesting though is that most emulators allow for TAS's to happen. The goal of emulation is to try and be as accurate as possible to the original system, which would require a lot of time spent and would require more processes than what ZSNES and SNES9x are able to deliver. (Just throwing out random mumbo jumbo :D)
This has been explained over and over again in the comments. In Mega Man X and X2, there is a glitch that causes the bullet to be stronger if you are dashing / dash jumping off the wall. It only works if you maintain the momentum while you shoot and when the shot hits the target, and you'll notice that X never stops dashing during boss fights. So there's no cheats, hacks, or anything of that sort. It's a glitch in the game.
@SiriusPP There's this "glitch" in the game that happens when you press dash + shoot at the same time, the bullet will inflict 2 damage instead of 1 :)
This shit is awesome. Can you imagine someone playing like this without TAS? shit... I like how Flame Stag fights like Sigma 1st form from Megaman X1. I like how they put the Shoryuken but I don't like Megaman not saying Shooooorrrrryuuuuken!!!!!. I like how Sigma 1st form fights with Wolverines claws as in Marvel vs. Capcom. Also that 3d sword boss looks like the master sword from The legend of Zelda and in the final fight, that pilar in the back that looks all robotic is the same one as in X1.
I have been playing Megaman on and off my whole life and have never seen someone play it like this. You literally have to dedicate thousands of hours to run through this game like this.
Very entertaining, I've never even thought of using the grappling line the way you have before.
@HanQ

This was my very 1st game on SNES and now it's out on the virtual console for the Wii.
great job in saving the world in under 32 minutes.
This is a sick video!! I liked the precision. I would be scared to mess up but this player must have been practicing 24/7. He got all the mavericks the second time with the hodjucken punch!!
Good job
this is simply amazing, I never knew you could use the special ability to grab the weapon upgrade and I considered myself GOOD at megaman
After 5 years of watching various TAS runs of many different games, this remains, far and away, the most entertaining video I've ever seen, and I'm not a huge fan of the Mega Man series.
All this time I thought that the Strike Chain was almost useless. This video finally showed us its true purpose!
Goddamn, nice use of the Strike Chain, man, I would never think to use it that way.
Absolutley amazing. Anyone who ever played this game knows what you've accomplished! DAMN GOOD!
Still the most enjoyable tas to watch to date for me.
4:00 is just unreal. iv spent AGES trying to do that without the airdash and you make it look so easy >.
man if a real person ever does this without tas is a god
man this is amazing
X2 is the only one of the X series that i've never beaten.didn't even make it to Sigma-.-
also the "fire uppercut"-thing
never even heard of it.
incredible.
I will now start to play the game again^^
The boss fights in this are a joy to watch.
To this day. I consider X1, X2, X3 the best games of all time. No fucking CoD or AC can compete with this level of awesomeness!
thanks a lot for the video man, i remember my childhood with this video is amazing.
I am not saying they are bad games (In fact I'm a hardcore AC fan). I am just saying that Mega Man X is a whole new level of game-genius!
TAS and megaman games were made for each other :D
Awesome :D Love how Dr. Light says "YOUR SO COOL, IM NOT WORTHY, IM NOT WORTHY" when he gave you the Shoruken :D
man this game was SO AWESOME when I was a kid. damn.... this game was jus the thing to me... it was just so cool....
I'm sorry for repeating the same words over and over again. I miss those times..
I beat this game as a kid at least 10 times but I never got that crazy uppercut! That was awesome
Its really amazing how well you know this game and how you can manipulate it with ease
a lot of people complain about tool-assisted speed run.. I just don't know.. I think it's really nice to see how a perfect playthrough would be..
brings back memories. this was my favorite X game.
Excellent job. Megaman X games are some of the best games ever!
Amazing work, this is beyond gaming, almost a work of art
Why would you dislike this video? People upset that this run is faster than theirs?
the first level with the bike music is freakin epic and so is this speedrun:)
I'm not normally one to make these kinds of comments but, at the time of this post, 74 people didn't read the description telling everyone who's read it and those who SHOULD have read it that this is a Tool Assisted Run.

When you finish the speed run you speed the finished product up to normal speed to look as if the player(s) were as fast as they are at reacting and playing the game.
That 1st X-Hunter stage was the coolest run ever!
These do have skill. It takes a lot of planning to put together this masterpiece.
You can always just find a normal speedrun somewhere else on TH-cam.
Good job, rogue.
Your internet alchemy impressed me.
jeez, that part just before flame stag was unreal!
Y'all have sum of the more entertaining game videos
NICE
ive beaten this game several times...but not like this. insane practice my friend!
I just found a new appreciation for Wire Sponge and his chain shot. o.o Epic.
Man, if Ken play this game, he definitely can throw these robots to space.
basically, "luck" in these games are all algorhytms with various outcomes depending on the actions of the player. These can be memorized to a degree to give a player an advantage.
Notice how he got all the powerups! THANKS DUDE!!!
TAS or not, that's impressive.
Hear that?
That's the sound of my childhood shattering.
Oh god this video is hilarious. The way he totally destroys the programmer's intentions is amazing, nice use of the grappling hook there to save precious time.
tbh this guy sis not say he wont use glitches and bugs, he just show you what u can do/find in this game and in half an hour he got trough entire game,and made fun video of it, but still a pewpew vid =D ^^
Wow, I looove the black zero at the end. Impressive...
I love this series and its Street Fighter references.
This was my first megaman game. What I wouldn't give to get this back.
True, they did use super slow speed and save state, but your x buster will do more damage if you shoot while dashing, even if it isn't charged.
sos un genio!!!!!! lo pasaste rapidisimo y encima agarrando todo!!!!!! y esa capsula secreta del appercut de fuego sirve un monton los matas a to2 al toque!!!!!!
I don't understand how someone could dislike this? Jealousy perhaps?
That goes to show how badass Zero is... He takes two insta-kills to the face, gets back up and STILL breaks the floor with his fist!
The completition time is 31:42. TAS timing is from powering on the game until the last input needed to beat it.

So apparently mad scientists have crossed dimensions in order to fuse Spider-Man with the Flash in robot form.
@heho26 You're right. It's more so for entertainment, and most who post tool assisted speed-runs specify that the video is for entertainment.
I want to teach me to play megaman x2, because you're the best, by the way this video is what I needed, best video I have not seen this in my life, I've solved all the problems I had, really.
Dat GAME... There is X truly MEGA... even without dragon punch, game stuffed with my favorite power ups.
As cheesy as lots of games on super nintendo were, the Megamans were always legitimate games. Megaman X will always be my fav cause it's the original X and it was such a sick game.
To know how to pull off the tricks, to know how the game decides what to drop from enemies, to know boss weaknesses, to know the fastest way of movement (down to the frame) etc etc
At first I was like, Holy shit this guy has some amazing reactions and response on his controller. Then I read TAS... Oh well, still fun to watch.
I agree, Zero's parts are collectable items so they should have been included in the run. I'm sure the player could have used savestates to make sure the X Hunters landed in stages he wanted.
ok it's like you played 15minutes '-'
OMFG! thats what i call a true player!!
megaman x is the best series of all time
no this is the kind of stuff that impresses me. I only wish that i could have as much skill as that. I wish that I could be fast like that without an emulator
You have to wonder how Sigma would feel, after orchestrating an elaborate scheme of reploid rebellion and world domination, to have it single-handedly thwarted in about half an hour.
Rather deflated, I'd imagine.
Thats one killer shoryuken, even Ryu would be jealous of that.
jeez you remember all the enemy locations it was so fast i almost thought this was a demo
Same! I usually raged at that tricky jump in order to get the X-buster capsule.
20:29 awesome song
*bows before you* You are the master.
@dayknowsalchemy He mentions that it's tool-assisted in the description.
The only flaw I see in this run is a slight error at 2:22 where he doesn't quite make the jump and spends a frame or two against the wall. It's only a slight flaw in an otherwise perfect run. I absolutely love watching this.
Besides the obvious dmg increase you output, this is hella legit fast....wow.
I love how Flame Stag is taken down with nothing but lemons
This guys are not Gamers, this guys are Artists
while watching this it's fun to imagine that this is how it would REALLY happen, if mega man were real. cause he's that determined and that well-designed and just that damn good. :)
Zero: Hey, X. May I use those two new moves that you learned from Dr. Light?
X: SHOR U KEN! ^_^
This guy has been playing this game for way to long it seems. He is way to pro, he knows every trick and trade of every level and every exploit such as the getting hurt and climbing spiked walls. The ball fights he knew every fucking location he was gonna end up next. He his this game map in in head 100%. I bet this guy could beat this game with his eyes closed.
lol kicks it like a soccar ball @14:42. The best in the X series, best gamplay and soundtrack :]
it's not a speedrun done by someone with a pad. It's a tool-assisted speedrun, read the description.
btw the World Record for a speedrun on this game is pretty damn impressive too (33:14 by exosda)
Single greatest comment I have yet read on TH-cam.
Best easter egg ever in a mega man game!!
Faster and precise!!! Very cool!! You are good man!!
+Eduardo Marques LATINO 4 life !
Its obvious, this is a TAS;
According to the video details, one of the criteria for this speed run was to use save states. So the player is probably not this good normally. Maybe they are, but they also might've used save states to get the best possible playthrough. :)
"X"pectacular!...so incredible, it's the fastest walktrough rockman video I've ever seen!!!...could you do another one?!
He does get it. check around 24:11, that's when he gets to the upgrade pod with the shoryuken
I don't get why the charge shot's palettes were messed up...
You're my hero, man!
rogueyoshi..
YOUR skill is so amazing!!!
What's interesting though is that most emulators allow for TAS's to happen. The goal of emulation is to try and be as accurate as possible to the original system, which would require a lot of time spent and would require more processes than what ZSNES and SNES9x are able to deliver.

So there's no cheats, hacks, or anything of that sort. It's a glitch in the game.
I luv playing this game,i never get tired from it and i still play it even today and still try to beat it fast but not too fast =P!
Haha, it got so serious when he got to the end.
And then he got the final Capsule.
Every boss after that was a one-shot.
Ikuse! Shoooryuken!
@SiriusPP There's this "glitch" in the game that happens when you press dash + shoot at the same time, the bullet will inflict 2 damage instead of 1 :)
This shit is awesome. Can you imagine someone playing like this without TAS? shit... I like how Flame Stag fights like Sigma 1st form from Megaman X1. I like how they put the Shoryuken but I don't like Megaman not saying Shooooorrrrryuuuuken!!!!!. I like how Sigma 1st form fights with Wolverines claws as in Marvel vs. Capcom. Also that 3d sword boss looks like the master sword from The legend of Zelda and in the final fight, that pilar in the back that looks all robotic is the same one as in X1.
