  • Welcome to the Mega Man Zero 2: No Damage Remastered Run! This is a segmented remake of my late 2018 challenge run of the game, where I previously restricted myself to Active Form only. Removing that restriction, this redo aims to play more efficiently while speedrunning the stages more cleanly. Due to the nature of Zero 2's linear combat, it's not as flashy as the likes of the other three games, but hopefully you'll enjoy what I've managed to cook up with Zero's limited abilities regardless! Thanks for watching, and stay chill.

      Honestly, don’t think that’s the case. It’s megaman gameplay with footage from the actually game itself (with implemented ost), it’s fair use within copyright. I only say this because I know somebody who sampled a song from this game recently and they were hit with constant strikes every upload lol.

    Still I enjoyed watching the "Ultimate Disrespect Megaman Zero 2" 2.0. Where you disrespect the stages as well. (Seriously that thing you did with Fefnir at 29:12 made me do a spit take)

    I slept through the entire premier, butI really like the run overall!
    The chain rod usage especially was extremely cool.
    I didn't know you could access that one part of the Crystal Cave stage or get on the roof of the fire temple rooms in the International version. I thought it was just JP with the Rod Glitch.
    The grinding was pretty noticable, especially for the Active/Power Form, but it didn't really mess with the run that much.
    The way you protected Ciel in the Bombardment Aircraft Mission was also pretty uncommon.
    Can't wait to see the post commentary video!
