Amazing work, this is beyond gaming, almost a work of art

[@yillow1]

Very entertaining, I've never even thought of using the grappling line the way you have before.

[@agruiz94]

This is a sick video!! I liked the precision. I would be scared to mess up but this player must have been practicing 24/7. He got all the mavericks the second time with the hodjucken punch!! Good job

[@richieray04]

This was my very 1st game on SNES and now it's out on the virtual console for the Wii. great job in saving the world in under 32 minutes.

[@coppinfeels9154]

I have been playing Megaman on and off my whole life and have never seen someone play it like this. You literally have to dedicate thousands of hours to run through this game like this.

[@Juanoob]

Still the most enjoyable tas to watch to date for me.

[@andres5320]

thanks a lot for the video man, i remember my childhood with this video is amazing.

[@WiesnSven]

Absolutley amazing. Anyone who ever played this game knows what you've accomplished! DAMN GOOD!

[@Hidun]

The boss fights in this are a joy to watch.

[@HebrewGamer100]

TAS and megaman games were made for each other :D

[@Czah5]

Y'all have sum of the more entertaining game videos NICE

[@IamSaralinka]

It's tool assisted, which means he can save automatically where ever he wants, and he can slow the game down to make the jumps more accurate in the game! He explains it in the text... So he really isn't playing the game like the average gamer... But, even for tool-assisted, it's a VERY good run! Keep up the good work, rogueyoshi!

[@ErikMcLennan]

Excellent job. Megaman X games are some of the best games ever!

[@Waynebird22]

the first level with the bike music is freakin epic and so is this speedrun:)

[@Caydiem]

Good job, rogue. Your internet alchemy impressed me.

[@Squall17]

man this is amazing X2 is the only one of the X series that i've never beaten.didn't even make it to Sigma-.- also the "fire uppercut"-thing never even heard of it. incredible. I will now start to play the game again^^

[@Zero100009]

jeez, that part just before flame stag was unreal!

[@TompaA]

The completition time is 31:42. TAS timing is from powering on the game until the last input needed to beat it. Ignore the length of the video encode, that one doesn't matter.

[@foxchild]

@HanQ In all fairness, it does state, even in the video, that it's a TAS run. I really appreciate the fact that the creator of this vid fully admits it, and that does make this fun to watch.

[@reddragonlaser]

brings back memories. this was my favorite X game.

[@thechewieone]

Wow, impressive! Keep up the good work! :)

[@Wholemax]

Its really amazing how well you know this game and how you can manipulate it with ease

[@VonSpiegel]

You're my hero, man!

[@danielg666]

sos un genio!!!!!! lo pasaste rapidisimo y encima agarrando todo!!!!!! y esa capsula secreta del appercut de fuego sirve un monton los matas a to2 al toque!!!!!!

[@Ahzmer]

this is simply amazing, I never knew you could use the special ability to grab the weapon upgrade and I considered myself GOOD at megaman

[@GutaarGod]

Notice how he got all the powerups! THANKS DUDE!!!

[@Juanoob]

Look in the video description. You download an emulator for the game, then slow it down and play it throughout. You also use "save states" which saves every little bit you do, so if you mess up you can go back to where you were and try again. When you finish the speed run you speed the finished product up to normal speed to look as if the player(s) were as fast as they are at reacting and playing the game.

[@NikoTheLegend]

ive beaten this game several times...but not like this. insane practice my friend!

[@ShadowMarioXLI]

All this time I thought that the Strike Chain was almost useless. This video finally showed us its true purpose!

[@teckworks]

Goddamn, nice use of the Strike Chain, man, I would never think to use it that way.

[@jokojabo]

Props, that was sick!

[@Terenigma]

4:00 is just unreal. iv spent AGES trying to do that without the airdash and you make it look so easy >.

[@Reapehify]

I just found a new appreciation for Wire Sponge and his chain shot. o.o Epic.

[@krat0102]

rogueyoshi.. YOUR skill is so amazing!!!

[@kamidarko]

I love this series and its Street Fighter references.

[@Xyos212]

Awesome :D Love how Dr. Light says "YOUR SO COOL, IM NOT WORTHY, IM NOT WORTHY" when he gave you the Shoruken :D

[@fortunadodesperado]

I beat this game as a kid at least 10 times but I never got that crazy uppercut! That was awesome

[@jedimastermagus]

Wow, I looove the black zero at the end. Impressive...

[@cafedunhill77]

man this game was SO AWESOME when I was a kid. damn.... this game was jus the thing to me... it was just so cool.... I'm sorry for repeating the same words over and over again. I miss those times..

[@ash007A]

Best easter egg ever in a mega man game!!

[@rhythmsetionwantad]

After 5 years of watching various TAS runs of many different games, this remains, far and away, the most entertaining video I've ever seen, and I'm not a huge fan of the Mega Man series.

[@krazyazn208]

man if a real person ever does this without tas is a god

[@Setosku]

Hear that? That's the sound of my childhood shattering.

[@fmthebaron]

That 1st X-Hunter stage was the coolest run ever!

[@FrameRunnerX]

Very impressive !

[@Nightwish713]

To this day. I consider X1, X2, X3 the best games of all time. No fucking CoD or AC can compete with this level of awesomeness!

[@ZuIu2012]

@heho26 true, but you know it is always fun to watch.

[@rworthington4697]

*bows before you* You are the master.

[@ChocoboDreams]

@heho26 You're right. It's more so for entertainment, and most who post tool assisted speed-runs specify that the video is for entertainment.

[@NenSalazar12]

this game brings back memories :)

[@TheZachorios]

now you sir are a megaman

[@Quiltfish]

To know how to pull off the tricks, to know how the game decides what to drop from enemies, to know boss weaknesses, to know the fastest way of movement (down to the frame) etc etc

[@darkruler19]

dude wtf you owned the game lool you raced through it like it was nothing cool nice work

[@blackwaterro]

I want to teach me to play megaman x2, because you're the best, by the way this video is what I needed, best video I have not seen this in my life, I've solved all the problems I had, really.

[@Crockinator07]

Same! I usually raged at that tricky jump in order to get the X-buster capsule.

[@Mash1996]

you made me feel sad for those robots, almost looks like megaman is the evil one LOL

[@GreenBoyDope]

nice run :O

[@RockRichard]

Awesomeness.

[@Lordgenome76]

Sweet. I love these things.

[@ThePieIsFalse]

basically, "luck" in these games are all algorhytms with various outcomes depending on the actions of the player. These can be memorized to a degree to give a player an advantage.

[@Cream0weet67]

True, they did use super slow speed and save state, but your x buster will do more damage if you shoot while dashing, even if it isn't charged.

[@XxxmegmanxxX]

I luv playing this game,i never get tired from it and i still play it even today and still try to beat it fast but not too fast =P!

[@wolfpackflt670]

Thats one killer shoryuken, even Ryu would be jealous of that.

[@joshdillon9637]

TAS or not, that's impressive.

[@shiningblade19]

This guy is so good at this game, HE IS A GOD!!!

[@Nightwish713]

I am not saying they are bad games (In fact I'm a hardcore AC fan). I am just saying that Mega Man X is a whole new level of game-genius!

[@MarkVegaX]

Oh god this video is hilarious. The way he totally destroys the programmer's intentions is amazing, nice use of the grappling hook there to save precious time.

[@Deathknight50000]

My god, too perfect

[@ChronoXxXPIKE]

ok it's like you played 15minutes '-' OMFG! thats what i call a true player!!

[@SpiritualJD12887]

Apologizes I rewatched the video and realized that the " glitch" I thought I saw was most likely a video play error. I think the video jumped or something and I just didn,t catch it.

[@STUNT_MK]

how do you get the sub tank in bubble craps level without any weapon upgrades? i try to get up there, but can never jump that high, i know this is a TAS, but ive seen it done in other runs as well.. any ideas on how this works?

[@TheQuiescentSquall]

Why would you dislike this video? People upset that this run is faster than theirs?

[@ChocoboDreams]

@dayknowsalchemy He mentions that it's tool-assisted in the description.

[@Zero100009]

no this is the kind of stuff that impresses me. I only wish that i could have as much skill as that. I wish that I could be fast like that without an emulator

[@AlucarD436]

Very very thank you.

[@Heimdall5]

totalmente de acuerdo, pero son distintos contextos, megaman es un gran juego

[@ccollalto]

a lot of people complain about tool-assisted speed run.. I just don't know.. I think it's really nice to see how a perfect playthrough would be..

[@PebblyPirate]

megaman x is the best series of all time

[@Stinkweed18]

He does get it. check around 24:11, that's when he gets to the upgrade pod with the shoryuken

[@Jostanos]

Zero: Hey, X. May I use those two new moves that you learned from Dr. Light? X: SHOR U KEN! ^_^

[@rafaelborges6194]

o cara joga muitoooooooooo

[@tinkerttoy]

I love how Flame Stag is taken down with nothing but lemons

[@epicmenio]

This guys are not Gamers, this guys are Artists

[@seyia10101]

@MorlonX If there isn't anything in that room that means you didn't get every upgrade in the game, that only appears if you've gotten 100% of the upgrades X can have in this game, all 8 heart tanks, sub tanks and parts you also need to be at full health, I suggest using a sub tank if you take a hit where the extra life is.

[@tspkleader]

well done!

[@AiroWultx]

ZOMG!!!you are like wack at going through the stages. jeez!!!(still impressed)

[@pkirkwood23]

i agree. his x buster is a little on the powerful side, but other than that, there's not much that's obviously assisted.

[@jirayuthsomton6248]

God of Mega Man X2

[@KwiQQer]

Love this video... fav'd

[@teknophyle1]

Boss Reference 2:45 Wire Sponge 5:18 Wheel Gator 7:30 Flame Stag 9:31 Bubble Crab 11:55 Magna Centipede 14:24 Crystal Snail 16:42 Overdrive Ostrich 19:28 Morph Moth I might list reference points for items and "final" bosses later

[@zeromustlive]

That goes to show how badass Zero is... He takes two insta-kills to the face, gets back up and STILL breaks the floor with his fist!

[@solusdeath]

@stnrodriguez if you boost and use the buster, it makes your shot stronger then normal

[@Bhatch2007]

This was my first megaman game. What I wouldn't give to get this back.

[@TompaA]

@Konane47 Same case here as with DKC, no gameshark was used. You can't know something that's incorrect. You can believe something that's incorrect however.

[@nypad5]

the best snes game ever

[@master4441]

LOL i remember this awesome childhood memory

[@LightningOverload]

Haha, it got so serious when he got to the end. And then he got the final Capsule. Every boss after that was a one-shot. Ikuse! Shoooryuken!

[@Tugnus]

At first I was like, Holy shit this guy has some amazing reactions and response on his controller. Then I read TAS... Oh well, still fun to watch.

[@Metalwario64]

I don't get why the charge shot's palettes were messed up...

[@kloppipet]

This is insane :O
