MEGA MAN X6 – Unarmored X / XTREME / Buster Only

This is a remake of my old X6 challenge video:    • MEGA MAN X6: UNARMORED X/BUSTER ONLY   I originally made that video around the time Gate was announced for Mega Man X DiVE. I've always liked Gate as a character, so replaying this challenge brought back some good memories. A few notes about this run: • Mega Man X6 is the only X game where a true Buster Only run isn't possible. Gate's first stage has the infamous spike wall, and High Max also requires special weapon damage. • I don't go out of my way to rescue every Reploid. If they're on my route, I'll save them. Otherwise, I simply leave them behind. • The only death in this run happens at 47:33. It's intentional, since I need to rescue that Reploid to obtain the Jumper Part. • Unlike my old video, I actually fought High Max this time instead of taking a Game Over to skip him. There's also a fun trick here: the High Max room isn't normally climbable because of the ice walls, and his giant energy ball can only be avoided by wall jumping. While routing this run, I found that the entrance door has a tiny climbable pixel in the middle, giving X just enough height to jump over the attack. I've personally never seen anyone use this strat before (though someone probably has). If you're curious, it happens at 48:05. Compared to my previous Mega Man X challenge runs, I also wrote a route script to make this run as consistent as possible. Route: • Intro • Rainy Turtloid (Hyper Dash + Nightmare Souls) • Shield Sheldon • Infinity Mijinion (Nightmare Souls) • Equip Hyper Dash • Blaze Heatnix (I highly recommend enabling Auto Charge and Auto Fire for this stage.) • Blizzard Wolfang • Rainy Turtloid • Blizzard Wolfang (Jumper) • Equip Jumper • Commander Yammark • Metal Shark • Ground Scaravich • Nightmare Mother • High Max & Gate • Boss Rush & Sigma Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro Stage 04:35 - Rainy Turtloid Stage 2 09:24 - Nightmare Zero 11:30 - Shield Sheldon 14:37 - Infinity Mijinion 20:42 - Blaze Heatnix 35:07 - Blizzard Wolfang 39:49 - Rainy Turtloid 46:07 - Blizzard Wolfang Stage 2 47:33 - My only death in this run 48:05 - High Max 57:53 - Commander Yammark 01:01:11 - Metal Shark 01:07:47 - Ground Scaravich 01:17:32 - Gate's Laboratory Stage 1 01:20:48 - Nightmare Mother 01:24:35 - Gate's Laboratory Stage 2 01:29:56 - High Max 01:32:48 - Gate's Laboratory Stage 3 01:35:21 - Gate 01:38:22 - Sigma Stage Part 1 01:38:47 - Boss Rush 01:49:15 - Sigma Stage Part 2 01:49:58 - Sigma 01:55:36 - Ending Game: Mega Man X6 Platform: PlayStation 1 Release Year: 2001 Played on: ePSXe Emulator Challenge Rules: • Unarmored X • Buster Only* • XTREME *Buster Only whenever the game allows it.
