For those of you wondering about the ice on the conveyer belt section; that is a nightmare effect triggered by going through *Blizzard Wolfang's* stage.

[@kolkagaming1234]

Is it?

And i guess the meteors on Infinity mijinion stage is triggered by beating blaze heatnix stage before

[@raakone]

Definitely the weirdest, and the only one where EVERYONE goes through a blue teleporter to get to the end....ok, until later. So kind of like X4 (and much of X5) having two-part stages, I guess.

​@@The_Natalist It was rushed? So thats why it always felt "off" compared to X4 and x5?

[@hidan407]

[@mercenaryknight5419]

The stage is like Morton's castle from Super Mario World, but more intense.

[@billny33]

Great run but I was so mad when you left the reploid behind at 2:54. Why man? It's not a perfect run if you don't save all the reploids.

[@Sliider36]

thanks. and youre right, so close to being perfect. but why? why did i miss the reploid? well, to be honest... complete mistake. after so many attempts, and even having the entire stage memorized, i accidently zipped right by him. my brain half-fried from repeated attempts, i made a stupid error, and didnt realize until rewatching the run after completion. and i guess being eager to move on to the next stage, i called it good. thanks for watching and the kind words.

[@billny33]

@@Sliider36 I can definitely understand that. And seriously, everything else you did here was godlike. I didn't play this game until about 5-6 years ago through emulation. I got stuck on this level late at night. My mom was about to sleep in the other room and got frustrated with all my shouting coming from in my room. I didn't think I was that loud and was frustrated that it bothered her so much on top of the level being frustrating (in hindsight, if she can't sleep cause of me then yeah probably my bad), but I was not going to be denied. I took my laptop with me out of the house and into my car until I finally beat the level and saved all the reploids. But I had never faced a Megaman level in the classic or X series that was this infuriating. Mega Man 11 gave it a run for its money with Block Man's stage and the first Wily stage but I still think Metal Shark Player holds a special place in infamously hard video game stage history.

[@hundio88]

This damn stage gave me ptsd.

[@TurquoiseStar17]

This stage is like Dust Man's stage on steroids. Good job.

[@TheTankTN]

I assume the hellish nightmare and met spawns will be in the description.

[@Sliider36]

i mentioned them, is there anything else that should be said concerning them as far as details and strategy?

[@TheTankTN]

Sliider36 I suppose the only thing that makes the nightmare spawns better is that the falcon armor charged shot fires through walls. It still does here, right? Haven't started X6 in the collection (My girlfriend just bought it for me for Christmas), but I know it does in X5. By the way, I wrote my original comment before you posted the description.

[@TheTankTN]

Sliider36 One more thing that I remember from long ago, the wall you must crouch under will kill you if you stand, as opposed to logically forcing you to crouch. After reading the description, I feel that might be worth mentioning.

[@chriskurvers99]

One question. How are you planning on no Damaging the Inami temple? I'm asking because of the acid rain. Maybe do a no hit run because no damage seems impossible with the acid rain.

[@Sliider36]

yeah, it's impossible. in fact, the inami temple will be the first stage ive ever encountered, in any mm series, that damage will be completely unavoidable. it will have to be a no damage run by hit detection, like you said. i'll still title it "no damage" though i think, and just clarify in description.

[@holydiver6511]

@@Sliider36 just goes to show you how bad the game is when they have a stage where Damage is unavoidable

[@xakune8357]

@@holydiver6511 lol you make it sound a lot worse than it is. The rain decreases your health slowly over time and there are platforms you can stand on to get a full heal.

[@raakone]

@@Sliider36 it's generally accepted that for no-hit/no-damage runs, damage that is unavoidable, whether it's from weird circumstances such as acid rain (or intense heat, in the case of Bomber Man Hero on the N64...which ALSO has "healing" pads like this), or because it's "scripted" damage (e.g. Sonic Triple Trouble on the Game Gear in the last stage, you WILL get hit by Metal Sonic, sorry), or circumstances where you're forced to "damage your way to victory" (think those Vile encounters in Mega Man X1)

[@RobbyKingPin]

OMG I am Lucky if I beat this level with without dying, you beat this without getting hit. I wonder if you destroyed a gamepad in the proces whahaha.I could imagine that easily. Maybe a stupid question but did you know you could use the mech to stop the crusher from reaching all the way down? Makes the first part a little easier but unfortunatly the second part wil Always have to be done the hard way

[@Sliider36]

i did not know that actually, and that would undoubtedly be useful for a speed run as you wouldnt have to wait for the compactor to rise in most areas. thank you.

[@RobbyKingPin]

Sliider36 This game has not much mercy so the few exploits it has must be shared. So you take the mech to the highest point at the first section and then you simply jumo out. Since the mech is never going to be crushed it jams and directly goes back up, then repeats over and over. This game is certainly the hardest Mega Man game I know. Much respect for the skills you showed here.

[@Stbeter]

Robby King Pin It isn't hard, just cheap and convoluted.

[@khaosklub]

X6 isn't very difficult at all, it just has some poor design choices here and there. the mavericks are super easy, and you don't even have to beat them all!

[@Naglfar94]

Trash Compactors, Trash Compactors Oh the Trash Compactors!! made this whole stage a nightmare! and the ice added in makes it worse on the 2nd part that ice screwed me up quite a few times. Great job on Metal Shark Player not sure how you dashed right under the anchors without getting hit heh talk about skill I thought you would avoid them via the walls but nope.

[@Sliider36]

+Naglfar94 well, in all honesty, there was a bit of luck involved with that maneuver under the anchors. i had the timing of them down, but it was still risky. thanks!

[@R3SerialPro]

+Sliider Seriously though. Why aren't you using Falcon X? It seems really easy with that armor you're using.

[@ninjacon7299]

thats for damn sure, if they wouldn't make x6 so critically hard it would get a better rating. Its like their trying real hard to pull a konami move in this game.

[@SpyroTheEternalNight]

00:55 - 00:59 holy crap dude 2:27 ?!?!

[@Zenardo]

The list of things that made X6 look bad; 1. This stage o'ding with the compactors. 2. X refuse to give up the saber causing Zero to be stuck with some glow stick. 3. Sigma returning. 4. Strange spot light effect in Rainy Turloid and Commander Yammark stage. 5. Poor design compare to X5.

[@khaosklub]

1. You can render the first one completely irrelevant, but it is the entire level, and there's nothing particularly difficult about the trash compactor. just don't let your thumb slip off of down. 2. Zero got new sprites, his dash cancel slash works better now, and he can perform two different aerial attacks! that and X with the shadow armor is the greatest thing ever. 3. Doesn't he always? at least in this game, it actually makes sense. 4. you can prevent that nightmare effect by visiting another stage that effects those levels. 5. X5 had poor design too. The jet bike segment was just retarded, and having heart containers that require armor? Zero cannot collect all hearts! That and the convoluted equipment system was just terrible. so much better in X6.

[@The_Natalist]

I actually prefer this game to X5, which says alot about X5 tbh

[@jstick9980]

​@@The_NatalistTheres no chance x6 is better than x5 unless its the soundtrack. X5 was an upgrade in difficluty, responsiveness, and overall gameplay. The ducking feature was also cool. X6 took everything x5 was and made it extremely cheesy and difficult to a point of it being terrible design.

[@The_Natalist]

​@@jstick9980 X5 was a weird tone change, had a strange timer, bad game design, and i could go on. X5 is in an uncanny valley for me where its bad, but not bad enough to be excusable. Like a joke that is just straight up not funny, as opposed to X6, which is so bad its good

[@luis-sophus-8227]

@@khaosklub Yes, there's something seriously wrong with the trash compactor. IT TAKES TOO LONG TO RETREAT AFTER EACH CRASH, making it an absolute slog to get through, waiting 2,5 seconds every time...
