When I was a kid, I knew which way storm eagle was flying in from because I played on an old mono speaker monitor. If the sound was loud it was from the left, if it was quiet it was from the right.
I've watched a lot of tool-assisted speedruns, so sometimes it's weird for me to see actual speedruns that have an occasional "mistake" here and there, but then when I see how a player can have a handful of mistakes and still set the record, it goes to show how hard it is to do a flawless run on this game. Unless those mistakes somehow manipulated whatever RNG's are involved and aren't really mistakes...
Some of the "mistakes" were to drop X's health to a certain point to trigger boss patterns, mostly against Vile, because he goes for the stun when you have 2 or less hit points, so if you start the fight like that, you just get hit with his electricity to get it over with.

I've beat this game up one side and down the other. Been playing it since it was NEW. Still do on emulation. I've never seen it done in this order, with certain bosses having mechanics I didn't know could be exploited. And THEN you don't even go after the heart containers or anything else but the leggings, wander into Sigma's place in that condition, stand on ONE damn platform with position and timing and take out the final boss with HALF of your original life bar like you belong there! I hate you. (lol)
So I guess this could be considered an any% run of this game... even still, keep in mind this is the original Japanese release, so some of these exploits may not apply to the USA release, especially when there was a v1.0 and v1.1 version of this game for USA
@@adventureoflinkmk2 The US and Japanese versions are identical outside of the text boxes. And the only difference in a speedrun between the 1.0 and 1.1 versions is that you can juggle items between boomerangs in 1.0 - and that's a mechanic only used in 100% anyway. So there's no region or version difference that applies to any% here.
@@adventureoflinkmk2 all of the exploits are there, I still play this on the SNES in the U.S. since I got it in '95 All of the bosses have a weakness, you can get the super charged blaster before Zero dies and the Hadouken
The man whoever did this music for this game must of been In the zone man.. imagine him making that beat for the icee level!? Man must of been on the keyboard KILLING IT.
Setsuo Yamamoto Makoto Tomozawa Yuki Iwai Yuko Takehara Toshihiko Horiyama Just being a post necromancer. Yuki Iwai is the real MVP in that list though. She not only carried the entire score of Megaman X2 (the woman wasn't even CREDITED because Japan in the 90's was REAL shitty to women) on her back alone, but also wrote a ton of music for Street Fighter, the Marvel VS. Series, Final Fight 2, and Aladdin on the SNES. Truly a champ she was.
Dude really xD Dont worry bro... the first time i played it it took me like 15 minutes. I never played a megaman before megaman x was my first megaman x
That's exactly where my best run ended. I thought it was over after light sabre sigma, I had no idea you had another form to fight, lol. Of course, i played this for hundreds of hours before Google. I almost exclusively used the x blaster and not the special weapons.
Rented this game so many times as a kid, but still couldn't beat it lol. Finally bought the game again as a young adult and beat it. So satisfying. This game has held up well!
I'm about to beat it for the first time. I beat all the bosses in 5 hours. I still can't beat the last level which is Sigma. This is still my favorite game.
The hadouken doesn't appear until you have all upgrades and tanks, so it adds a lot of extra time(to an any% run) for a move that can't even be used on the final form of Sigma.
-X in a small pile on the ground Zero: hey hey X! Listen X, here. Uh...the BIG BOYS, (like me), are gonna go take care of this. Why dont you go wait at HQ where its safe...for you. you little baby boo bop.
I played this game while I was a kid like if it was a sport. I could get all hearts, subtanks and armor parts and finish the game in under 1 and half hour. I felt like such a badass doing this.
MegaMan X Collection features 8 MegaMan X games collectors edition MegaMan X Replica Helmet,X-Buster,Statue MegaMan X and Zero then artwork book. I love played MegaMan X but Marvel vs Capcom Infinite Xgard as the revenge Ultron sigma infinity stones. Rumored next truforce is Zero was used from MVCI next month MVCI trailer is wolverine vs batsu on the Repliforce HQ.
Sigma: HAHAHA X YOU CAN'T MAKE IT THROUGH! *he destroys them all in a second* X: You were saying? Sigma: Well crap! BUT YOU CAN'T MAKE IT THROUGH ME X: *spams electricity* Sigma: You may have defeated my first form but not this form! X: *destroys it* Sigma: HOW *explodes* X: I did it I saved the world
There's actually a faster way to complete the game. The first thing you want to do is go to the password screen and enter 7431-3842-8523 and complete the rest of the game.
dotChrollo not exactly. If you find a way to Skip stages without having major corruption through the game, it's usable. Rolling armadillo Skip doesn't affect the game data. The boomerang platform at Storm Eagle neither.
Part of what makes it a world record sometimes is getting a little lucky. Once the spider bot hits 50%, it has a 50% chance to throw spiders on any given pass. This wastes a few seconds each time. It is fully possible to get a zero spiders pattern if you are extremely lucky.
Every main boss has a weakness which is one of the weapons you acquire from other dead bosses. You can cut off launch Octopus’s arms with boomerang so he can’t do energy drain
I remember playing this game when I was younger than I bought the Super NES classic edition and came with this game and it took me a while to get used to it even beating the ice level with the penguin machine man.... so to do this not only passing the game but getting all the special level up in the game is very impressive and very talented
Definitely the best of the X series in my opinion. A couple titles come close but I rank it higher just for the soundtrack and for having some of the more memorable Mavericks.
These are probably the best boss fights I've seen in a speedrun. In most games the fastest way to kill a boss is to cheese it, take advantage of your invincibility frames or something. Not so here, it feels like the player really took the time to learn the bosses' patterns and now Megaman is just 4 parallel universes ahead of them

Speedrun implies to complete the game from start to the end when you stop controlling the character
NesuProps Then that would negate the use of any level skips, or at least the unofficial ones.
dotChrollo not exactly. If you find a way to Skip stages without having major corruption through the game, it's usable.
Rolling armadillo Skip doesn't affect the game data. The boomerang platform at Storm Eagle neither.
6:37 he lost a second there, not a perfect run, I'd start over (kidding, this guy is a beast).
And that's why X has limitless potential
its kinda awesome and funny how terminal montage brought so much attention to this game
The car on the first level only makes 2 lines of damage? I dont remember that
5:52 proves this music is totally in Megamans head as he flies threw his enemies, awesome work!
Only one question, why in the level of the spider, the spider dont throw the little spiders??? 🤔
Part of what makes it a world record sometimes is getting a little lucky. Once the spider bot hits 50%, it has a 50% chance to throw spiders on any given pass. This wastes a few seconds each time. It is fully possible to get a zero spiders pattern if you are extremely lucky.
Aglos showed this video, I clicked immediately and jumped straight to the eagle for the music. I can't be the only one. Great run btw.
