Luminous Avenger iX 2 - Tech Roundup Video

白き鋼鉄のX2 小ネタまとめ 英語ですまない
More iX2 tech and talking points that didn't make it into the video:
-You can also use the Whirling Chopper to 'ukemi' out of the situation that occurs when you dash into the sides of the ( . ) looking enemies in the 2nd half of the Lab Block.
-Quick Razor procs when you finish an enemy off with a Wheel attack within ~5sec of another enemy. If you take too long, you will get no score bonus.
-The Double EX Takedown trick is also useful when enemies are too far apart from one another to maintain a Quick Razor chain.
-You can use the Skill Menu as a way to pause the screen and assess the situation. Useful for very fast attacks like Autochrome's lock on and optic barrier attack.
-Dash jumping has added momentum allowing you to go further than jumping normally. But did you know that you can get dash jump momentum while simply keeping the dash button held and then jumping? This also works when wall jumping.
-The Break Wheel has quite a bit of interactions with boss attacks. For example, Hail icicles, Ace mini boomerangs and Dacite/Brigade grenades can be broken with the Break Wheel.
-Brigade 1's Judgement Blade can be countered with Whirling Chopper(normal mode only) and there are many, many more boss attack vs EX weapon interactions. I recommend trying to fight bosses with your whole toolset as opposed to just looking for windows to lock on and fire homing shots.
-You can use the Cryo Flash to make the lava sections a lot easier in the Volcano Block and the Passage To Top Floor stages. Note that this is not score optimal though.
-EX Weapons can recharge in the loading screens. This is also nothing new, but just something nice to know if you wanna micro optimize your EX energy levels.
-Locking on deals 1 damage. Not tech, but it's the answer to why the amount of kudos you can earn on bosses is inconsistent.
-There is a way to extend kudos beyond boss HP by using your CoLossal Maelstrom when they are at 1HP, and while homing bullets are still flying towards them. The rings can hit while the screen is paused and you can see a kudos discrepancy after your finisher lands, indicating that they did cash in. But sometimes this causes you to get an Aerial-1 instead of the 500 shredded bonus. It needs more testing.
-If you AFK in a mission with the Lola navi on, she will get worried about you. Bless.
I also tend to write out a lot of tech in the respective video descriptions of my mission runs. Read em if you don't like your time.
That's all. Play iX2.

Heyyy, very cool video! Some more tech you should cover: Anchor Nexus Stacking. If you pile up groups of enemies with Recoil Dash and then kill them at the same time with AN, (preferably from above usually) you'll be awarded multiple Air EXes. Easiest to pull off in the intro stage, right at the start. Launcher Refreshing. Especially useful in the Passage to the Upper Levels stage, touching a launcher gives you another dash. This can be used to chain Air EXes without OD. Chopper can let you reach more Launchers. Ground-to-Air-to-Ground. You can cancel a dash slash with a jump, but if you hold the attack button, you'll immediately do an air slash. You can then keep holding the button and then dash when landing to do another dash slash. Nifty little combo, does 5-3-5 total. Not enough for most enemies though. Also is in theory the best way to DPS Mother 2. As for the discrepancy on boss Kudos, it's simply because you can get overkill Kudos from individual HP bars. In previous games, you could get more than an enemy's HP in Kudos if the final hit was a single attack. For instance, using Lux on a grunt in GV1 gives 250 Kudos. This was mostly removed in iX2 but not on bosses. Additionally, hoops stealing kills from Maelstrom is just a bug. Not a lot to exploit besides Phase Skips, which you can see in speedruns. Let the hoops trigger a phase change while using Maelstrom and you'll skip the phase transition.

I was actually just thinking about making a video like this myself. Great job on this, I hope to see more GV content in the future!

[@bkbrent]

Use the chopper canceling and lock-on removal plz.

[@OrgePoker]

Time to replay this game again. Don't you try Gunvolt 3? It is fun same as IX2

[@bkbrent]

Yes, I have tried 3. It's very shallow in score optimal play and I got bored before recording videos.

[@ChorokRock]

4:00 Probably because Inti rushed the game which has many bugs. I thought this was patched tho🤔

[@bkbrent]

Many bugs such as?
