Mega Man X8 - Sigma Palace

You can support both Mega Man AND me through Nexus: www.nexus.gg/megaquint
Boy, lot of things going on here. First off. there's a signal jammer around here so navigators aren't any help. Once we enter the palace, we're greeted by Vile. sporting a purple ride armor just like the old days. To damage Vile, we have to knock him off the Ride Armor using a break attack, once he's off he'll fight like he normally does. He'll go back onto the Ride Armor after a while, so rinse and repeat the strategy. Once beaten, he's down for good, but on hard mode he will come back in a last ditch effort and take out your character in reserve. So now, you have to go through the rest of the stage, facing down a whole slew of Copy Sigmas with just one character. At the end awaits the real Sigma, who's a little worse for wear, and a little more "demonic". Sigma's 2 main methods of attack are firing rings of energy at you, and teleporting to the top of the screen to slam his giant sword down on you. That last one he can do multiple times in a row, and later on he will release energy in front of him as he lands which is pretty much unavoidable, so you'll have to get behind him. On Hard Mode, he goes into his Overdrive move after just a few hits where he disappears and grabs your character. This triggers a cutscene where your second character makes a triumphant return, showing that Vile's last ditch effort was all for naught. On Normal, when he does this, you just tag out your character like normal and no harm is done. Once he goes into phase 2, he starts using his eye laser to set one of the walls on fire. He'll also start charging that wave of energy his copy did on Gateway, only he doesn't stay still when doing so. It is also unavoidable if he gets it off. But persevere and Sigma goes down. Then comes the plot dump...
So Lumine's alright. Yay. Though he seems to be acting a little too sinister for someone who just got rescued. As it turns out, he had his own plans, and since Sigma's out of the way, he can set those in motion. First order of business is get rid of us. Lumine decides to steal X's gimmick and copies the abilities of the 8 Mavericks we fought. When he changes abilities he does the Overdrive move of said Maverick. Of course, in the process he gains their weakness. If you're familiar with how to avoid all the attacks, this shouldn't be much of an issue. Though things get a little complicated after he uses Burn Rooster's move since those flame pillars last the whole fight. After knocking him down a peg, Lumine goes on to explain the whole bit with Sigma's DNA being in the Copy Chip and the New Generations going Maverick, which is best not left for me to explain.
What I will explain is how to fight Lumine's second form. First off, you can fall off the sides of the platform and die, so watch it. If you do you're booted back to the first form. Lumine always starts off each attack with a barrier around him. You gotta get rid of this barrier first before you can damage him, and it becomes much more resilient as the fight goes on. The first attack you'll see is one where he fires multiple lasers at the ground where you're standing. Zero and Axl are good for dodging this as they can suspend themselves in the air for a good amount of time. When he goes into phase 2, he gains an attack where he'll spread his wings again as the tips glow white. Each one will expel a small laser beam into the air. The beams streak down in sets of two, homing in on the character, so keep dashing back and forth to avoid the barrage as they hit the floor. There's also an attack where he'll create a circular barrier of energy crystals around himself. The yellow bolts will slowly expand out as they rotate. Once the bolts reach the edge of the screen, Lumine will send out another ring as he pulls the first slowly back towards himself, which will do the same. Lastly, there's the attack where he sends crystals off screen that will come back slowly in a pattern that you have to maneuver through forwards and in reverse. There's two variations, one where he sends them straight up, and horizontally, the last one being treated as an Overdrive so you can't damage him during it. After getting low enough on health, Lumine will fly to the top of the screen and trigger a second Overdrive move, the titular "Paradise Lost". Lumine will cover himself with his wings and the screen will begin to grow dark. You have 30 seconds to finish Lumine before the screen goes dark and he kills you, no matter how much health you have left or if both hunters are still alive. __

X5 or X6 are actually the final games in the series, X8 probably came before that.

[@anon_9221]

@@Vote4waifu Events from X5 and X6 are referenced in X7 and X8. AFAIK it has been stated that only the sealing away clip from X6 is set in the future (between X-series and Zero-series). That mess of a timeline is due to X6 being produced without Inafunes approval and X7 and X8 with little of his involvement. X5 was originally supposed to be the finale of the X series.

Lumine: You are not needed in our new world. You've got it backwards Lumine, with every new generation that opens, the old one is needed more then ever. It is only from the old generation that we can truly learn what it takes to evolve and become better then the "Us" of the past. It is the old generations knowledge and experiences that give us the solid foundations to continue our growth and move forward on our journey to the brighter tomorrow. To destroy and dismiss the past, is to doom us to its repetition, and all the mistakes and travesties it brings with it.

It's funny when Sigma dismisses Axl as some defective prototype, despite the fact he was the prototype for the N.G. Reploids, who have data from previous models, including Sigma. despite their talk of evolution, without Axl's blueprints, Lumine and the new reploids would've never existed in the first place.

(9:01) *Sigma:* 👿👿👿👿 How... How could I lose to you for so many years?! *MegaMan X:* You have been doomed ever since you lost the ability to love humans and believing in Justice when that virus chose you, Sigma. About those know-at-all words you said to me the 1st time I faced you when I tried saying to you that you're insane, "You said you believe in Justice, But that's not true. People only believed in that, nothing more." You are WRONG about me! How dare you said that! I really do believed in Justice in all of my life. I am not afraid of you anymore, and what you said to me those years ago about me was Really DEAD WRONG!! As a result, I felt the sadness and anger of the biggest ever, and my heart doesn't run on hatred. Plus, I am filled with Vengeance after those years. My creator, Dr. Thomas Light, wanted us to have peace, prosperity, and freedom. But all you wanted was Tyranny and Evil. This is your Punishment, Sigma. It's for that about me and Using Zero to make a new virus, since you knew he was created by Dr. Light’s ex-friend, Dr. Albert Wily. It’s time to make you suffer the pain you gave me and Zero, squeezing our heads, and killing us! Now is also the time you started eating those stupid know-at-all words you said to me when I was defeating you for the 1st time!! The Underworld awaits you. It's Game Over... for YOU!! (Sigma then begins his Death Explosion.) *Sigma:* NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man,on Hard mode, I always though Sigma was way more harder than Lumine in both forms, his teleports caught me always off-guard, and those multiple sword slashes were a pain in the ass, but alas it was worth seeing him go with a bang one last (possibly?) time. My favorite fight in the whole series.
