The guy doing the speed run was my Calc 3 teach last spring semester at Montana State, he taught as a TA prof obviously. The guy is really smart and a pretty good person overall, I knew he did speed runs but I didn’t expect to find him on here. Pretty cool

abusing glitches to unfairly destroy the most unfair megaman x game seems like the fairest thing ever

26:44 holy that is one op glitch and I've never heard of it until now. Also using blizzard wolfang's move to bypass the museum totems is hilarious. I'll be keeping notes on those techniques

44:00 this is where I couldnt go further. Stopped playing right there 15 years ago

Love these speedruns and the charities they support!

[milesmurphree]

Great run. These guys were awesome. Super knowledgeable and they are having fun with their game

[WanderingMindSR]

Being reminded of how fun X6 is to watch as a speedrun! Nice to see it here.

My first megaman was x4. Since then i had everysingle X game. Damm good times. Wish they release a new X game

[aegisblade]

This was a great run. Very chill and enjoyable!

[DanielRodriguez-klls]

I love X4-X6. I wish more X games came out like those ones </3... Man these are so cool.

[EpsilonKnight]

I personally love X6. True the stage designs are lackluster but I don't mind the difficulty. What I find the most fun about it is that you can revisit stages to save reploids you may have missed beforehand. The part rewards are cool, the stages changing makes it less boring and the boss powers are sick (except sentsuizan, fuck that move). Even X's blade and shadow armor in this are badass. Not to mention the killer music.
X4 is definitely a cleaner experience and the best PS1 X game, but I just kept coming back for X6 runs.

[PhazonOmega]

Casually, this game is too difficult, in spite of it having some of the best music and designs in the franchise.
Speedrunning, this game looks doable and fun! I loved running through Heatnix once I had "storm eagle", and being able to do that sort of stuff the entire time and actually consistently beat this game sounds fun!
I now want to speed run this and Luna Nights.

I'm just glad the chat spammed Dessbo

[MuJoNeSs]

10:50. Let's Go! Just do it! Great game!

[quintclobo]

can confirm, I played the shit out of this game, saved every reploid, found all the upgrades, and never got past Nightmare Mother.

[mikigirl]

Glad to see you beat the game as Zero. He's my favorite in the series! Also, I need to tell a friend about the invincibility glitch.

True story: I first played X6 way back in the mid-2000s. It was at a friend's house and I didn't own the game. We were about to head out and do stuff, but he needed to take care of a few things first. I decided to give X6 a try while I was waiting and played it for about an hour. I beat the intro stage and got through most of Commander Yammark (i.e. the one decent stage). And that's all I ever knew of X6 for about five years. I was left with a very positive impression and thought it had some cool stuff going for it, namely the parts and Reploid rescue systems. That's why I was surprised after I got more into gaming that all of the boards and LPs were saying that X6 was terrible. Oh man, were they ever right! Nostalgia has never lied to me so hard.

[thebluedumpling]

I can easily beat every game starting from MegaMan X up to MegaMan X5, but this particular game is so full of bu****it. I have never been able to beat X6 and I have attempted this feat 3 times at different stages of my life. I'm amazed at how easy these guys make it look like. Thank you for this speedrun, I finally saw the ending to MegaMan X6.

[PowerPandaMods]

I cannot fathom why anyone would submit themselves to this game enough to beat it twice, much less learn to speedrun it. Kudos, Orsa.
