Psyched about that speedrun!

What a classic..

7:00 This Leviathan music are so good!

3:56 Nice Kuwaugust Anchus music good work!

0:53 I love this Poler Kamrous theme!

It can only be done through hacking, all because of a development oversight. What's the oversight? There is a legitimate way to unlock Black Zero by defeating Nightmare Zero at Level 4, which requires collecting five thousand Nightmare souls, however, by collecting three thousand Nightmare souls, you unlock a secret backstory cutscene involving Alia and Gate, which then triggers Gate to grant X access to his lab. In doing so, even if you haven't defeated Nightmare Zero yet, unlocking Zero and being able to fight High Max to get another method of unlocking the fortress stages early, the boss rooms in the Secret Boss Portals will be permanently set to Dynamo.

2:23 oh so _thats_ how you get there

You really made Kaiser Sigma a breeze for me, for 5 years I was hesitant on doing a Minimalist Challenge myself since it seemed daunting for me, but I watched your video on the 2nd Form and that was all it took, some 20-30 minutes of practice and I believe I could really pull it off on camera. Thank you so much.

I can't believe its been 15 years since this masterpiece of video series dropped, crazy to think this guys probably in his late 30's now with a family. The passage of time is scary thing, be grateful there were moments in our lives were we could afford spending hours practicing and perfecting things like a Mega Man x6 minimalist speed run. Wherever this man is now I hope he's doing well and knows just how nostalgic some of these videos are to his older fans.

W run!

The battle wouldn't be difficult if the hitboxes weren't such trash and the inconsistency of his stun.

Literally wrong about everything with ZX. How on earth did it bring back the feel of the original? What scope? What threat? Pandora has no personality. Prometheus is cliche anime crazy. Serpent is what exactly? New heroes? Who? Giro dies in 5 minutes, Pairie is an even more dull and quiet Ciel. Vent and Aile are cliche as balls with absolutely nothing interesting to say nor in their background. New powers? Most were useless or boring and one was unbelievably overpowered and overuseful. None of the villains were threatening. ZX was cliche as F with dopey villains hardly doing anything (except the level with cyber elves), trite dialogue, no stakes, and an insult to X and Zero series where no one apparently had improved on anything nor learned any lessons. Still mavericks, still an energy crisis. Even the most important point, how reploids and humans have merged isn't even stated in the game. What even is a Maverick in ZX? There is no definition unlike in the X (Sigma Virus) nor Zero (anti-neo arcadia forces)series. Mission based? Like none of the previous ones were? And ZX ultra sucked because you could only take one mission at a time even if it was as mundane as delivering a letter or answering a singular quiz question. You can send a letter to the server, but the recipient can't pick it up? Why do I need to go to the kid, then the server to accept the 'quest', back to the kid to answer a question. Just ask me right there! It had an abysmal map and poor descriptions. People don't speak to you in a form why exactly? The people you fight are part of Serpent Inc and look weirder. Even the people you save mostly don't recognize your form. Awful soundtrack on top of the awful DS speakers. Probably the most subjective part though. It's not hard. Only one area was "hard" and that was the lava place with instant kill lava and no checkpoints and a long rerun time. The only challenge in ZX was getting LVL 4 victories and those were the worst thing ever designed. You have to avoid hitting the boss in certain places? In a sprite based game with no targeting nor even a crouch? Fistleo's weakpoint is his head, I can literally shoot him in the back and it will still register as hitting the weak point. It was awful. The difficulty is on your strike, not the boss doing anything actually hard. You can tank their easy attacks waiting for the one or two safe points to hit them. Don't even have to dodge once you get like two life ups. Stages were boring in construction, traversal, and in theme. The bosses had cool ideas though but completely ruined by level 4 victories and being too weak. Original Zero's missions had way more stakes and personality (defuse these bombs!, stop the drill in the base!). Nothing about ZX's missions stand out, they were all the same: some meaningless text at the beginning telling you what you already knew, go through a long boring mostly horizontal stage, talk to someone who won't matter in 20 seconds. Nothing to truly differentiate the amusement park from the factory.

I can't believe this was one of his favorite games. It's so bad. The music is bad, the threat is weak with silly characters saying stupid cliche things, and makes a mockery of X and Zero series by no one having learned anything in hundreds of years. Level 4 victories by AVOIDING WEAKPOINTS are completely stupid and the antithesis of any sensible boss/combat design. Area K and Flammole are pure cancer. Level 4-ing a tiny boss that hardly moves his weakpoint which overlaps his entire body is so bad it marks down the whole game. The bosses aren't not hard enough on their own so avoiding hitting them was the only way they could make fighting them remotely challenging. The hitboxes are terrible and make no sense. Even he hits empty air and still hits the hurricane boss multiple times. Twice he slashes completely above the mole and it still connects. And you HAVE TO DO IT otherwise you're likely to hit his stupid arms. The hit detection is bad in both ways for and against the player. The powers aren't fun nor very useful except Hx obviously. You can only take one "quest" at a time. So many of those Pieces of S are repeated so painfully like forks in your brain for no real reward. It's pointless grind in a game series that never had it nor needed it. Level 4ing a boss entirely eliminates the need for the currency as well. It basically punishes you for playing it well. ZX is an awful game and a terrible megaman game.

I love coming back to these videos... I wonder sometimes where is he today. :,) Hope all is well Mr. HideofBeast!

Nice video

I still come back to these for background noise, good play, and interesting series opinions every once in a while. Hope you had a good life with whatever you did after. Thanks for all the entertainment and laughs.

Designer: Toyozumi Sakai This is on your head, Mr. Sakai. I doubt even you are proud of this, but...

I’ve never played any game in the X series besides the first but every once in a while I have to come back to this video to feel something

"When you get massacred in a properly intense game, you don't feel cheated, you feel the need to improve." That's a quote that stuck with me ever since. I still think it's absolutely correct. I Wanna be the Justice Guy is a game it applies to, I think. There's only one boss in the game with unfair situations. Everything else, even if there's some trial and error here and there is purely a matter of practice, mechanical skill and reaction speed. Combined with the dizzying heights Justice Guy reaches, it's no wonder it's one of my favorite games, just for its challenge.

It's pretty ridiculous that in X8 you can grind metals with a rubber band by parking Axl in the right stage. They REALLY needed to tone the grinding down. Still keep coming back to these runs. I hope life is epic for you, you goddamn legend.

The worst level design of all time paired with the best music of all time.

1:24 Hafazard?

That Serges strat is rad 😮

irawabike

i've played this game so many times and i never even thought of going behind him once.

:p

what a gamer. what a GOD of a gamer, seriously

The next time some tool says "oh MMX6 isn't _that_ bad", show them this. Make them watch it all the way through. If necessary, have them actually try this themselves.

I miss hideofbeast

Yare

Was recommended this, it is doing the funny

Great gameplay even better narration

"I also love how he seems to think he's a magical girl and does dynamic poses for every fucking attack." That would be incorrect. Yammark only does the pose animation when you destroy one of his Yammar Options during an attack and he needs to recover them, or if you get him down to enough health for him to gain more options before he starts the next attack If you rapidly drain his health at the very beginning or not damage him at all, he will be able to do any attacks (though some are locked to healthbar values as well, so certain attacks can only be seen if you let him gain more options before them) without doing the animation.

You’re inspiring!

hearing you talk crap about how much of a mess capcom had made with this game combined with the immaculate gameplay and the flashbulb playing in the background... what a great combination lol

Satan paid off the devs to make the level this painful and shitty, cause I refuse to believe any sane game dev looked at this level and said: Looks good, ship it.

LMAO

Gosh that rising lava part of the fight is just too much 😢😢

Damn. This is something I could only dream about doing. Kudos to you for.pulling it off!

“Well holy goddamn.” The way this line is so bitterly delivered is hilarious when you know the verbal evisceration that follows.

I loved this game as a kid

You are crazy, I am trying to do this with unarmored X but with parts and I am getting my ass kicked lol

A pearl in the freeware market at the time, very playble some sort of sonic but with.his personality

Waching for the first time on the start of 2024 and it's a banger

Daily reminder this man was in super meat boy on steam.

this guy never shuts up

7:33 How the fuck can do you that? Every time I dash-jump off a wall, even if I'm a pixel away from spikes, he still jumps too high. He can't go any lower!

1:21 lost run

3-7 is very hard,i keep getting to the hole but then stopping making me have to do 2 shots,does anybody know why?

whats funny is that when i first booted up x6, my first boss i chose was blaze heatnix.... yeaaaahhh
