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.
@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.
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
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!
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.
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..
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^^
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.
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.
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.
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!!!!!!
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.
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
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.
As cheesy as lots of games on super nintendo were, the Megamans were always legitimate games. Megaman X will always be my fav cause it's the original X and it was such a sick game.
while watching this it's fun to imagine that this is how it would REALLY happen, if mega man were real. cause he's that determined and that well-designed and just that damn good. :)
Tool Assisted - these games are played using a emulator at super slow speeds and save states. The goal is to provide entertainment by showing off game glitches and beating the game as fast as possible. - Aims for fastest time - Items: 100% - Takes damage to save time - Abuses programming errors in the game - Manipulates luck - Uses no passwords
This has been explained over and over again in the comments. In Mega Man X and X2, there is a glitch that causes the bullet to be stronger if you are dashing / dash jumping off the wall. It only works if you maintain the momentum while you shoot and when the shot hits the target, and you'll notice that X never stops dashing during boss fights. So there's no cheats, hacks, or anything of that sort. It's a glitch in the game.
please answere this comment!! getting this video to be the exact fastest time possible most have been extremly time consuming. How long did it take you to complete this project?
I'm not normally one to make these kinds of comments but, at the time of this post, 74 people didn't read the description telling everyone who's read it and those who SHOULD have read it that this is a Tool Assisted Run.
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
I agree, Zero's parts are collectable items so they should have been included in the run. I'm sure the player could have used savestates to make sure the X Hunters landed in stages he wanted.
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?
tbh this guy sis not say he wont use glitches and bugs, he just show you what u can do/find in this game and in half an hour he got trough entire game,and made fun video of it, but still a pewpew vid =D ^^
You have to wonder how Sigma would feel, after orchestrating an elaborate scheme of reploid rebellion and world domination, to have it single-handedly thwarted in about half an hour. Rather deflated, I'd imagine.
Yes some nonMegamaniacs should believe it, but still don´t lose credits for the movie, some errors you can see it when you touch some enemys and you did not recieve any damage, and some highest jumps that you can really doin the real game. But, great video. Make me remember I have to play for 10000time.
"Alright those reploids should slow him down. Now I'm just gonna take a shit and then get to work on my plan to take over the world." *30 minutes later* "Ahhh, that was great, I'm just gonna wash my hands now and then--- OH GODDAMNIT" *BOOM*
I take that back the first comment was right, they played this on super slow speed on an emulator, and they used save states so if they messed up they could go back and fix it with out you noticing
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.
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.
@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.
All this time I thought that the Strike Chain was almost useless. This video finally showed us its true purpose!
Very entertaining, I've never even thought of using the grappling line the way you have before.
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
Still the most enjoyable tas to watch to date for me.
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!
Absolutley amazing. Anyone who ever played this game knows what you've accomplished! DAMN GOOD!
thanks a lot for the video man, i remember my childhood with this video is amazing.
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
Goddamn, nice use of the Strike Chain, man, I would never think to use it that way.
Excellent job. Megaman X games are some of the best games ever!
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.
Amazing work, this is beyond gaming, almost a work of art
TAS and megaman games were made for each other :D
Awesome :D Love how Dr. Light says "YOUR SO COOL, IM NOT WORTHY, IM NOT WORTHY" when he gave you the Shoruken :D
Y'all have sum of the more entertaining game videos
NICE
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..
the first level with the bike music is freakin epic and so is this speedrun:)
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^^
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.
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!
4:00 is just unreal. iv spent AGES trying to do that without the airdash and you make it look so easy >.
The boss fights in this are a joy to watch.
Its really amazing how well you know this game and how you can manipulate it with ease
Look in the video description.
You download an emulator for the game, then slow it down and play it throughout.

I just found a new appreciation for Wire Sponge and his chain shot. o.o Epic.
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!
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..
Good job, rogue.
Your internet alchemy impressed me.
brings back memories. this was my favorite X game.
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.
man if a real person ever does this without tas is a god
jeez, that part just before flame stag was unreal!
I love this series and its Street Fighter references.
I beat this game as a kid at least 10 times but I never got that crazy uppercut! That was awesome
That 1st X-Hunter stage was the coolest run ever!
Man, if Ken play this game, he definitely can throw these robots to space.
Faster and precise!!! Very cool!! You are good man!!
+Eduardo Marques LATINO 4 life !
Its obvious, this is a TAS;
Dat GAME... There is X truly MEGA... even without dragon punch, game stuffed with my favorite power ups.
20:29 awesome song
Notice how he got all the powerups! THANKS DUDE!!!
Boss Reference
2:45 Wire Sponge
5:18 Wheel Gator
7:30 Flame Stag

I might list reference points for items and "final" bosses later
ive beaten this game several times...but not like this. insane practice my friend!
Wow, I looove the black zero at the end. Impressive...
Sigma: "Megaman, I'm going to rule the wo-"
Megaman: "SHORYUKEN!! I'm sorry, what now?"
XD!!
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!!!!!!
God of Mega Man X2

@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.
You're my hero, man!

Wow, impressive! Keep up the good work! :)
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.
Why would you dislike this video? People upset that this run is faster than theirs?

That's the sound of my childhood shattering.

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!
megaman x is the best series of all time
Props, that was sick!
please answere this comment!! getting this video to be the exact fastest time possible most have been extremly time consuming. How long did it take you to complete this project?
Single greatest comment I have yet read on UA-cam.
lol kicks it like a soccar ball @14:42. The best in the X series, best gamplay and soundtrack :]
I'm not normally one to make these kinds of comments but, at the time of this post, 74 people didn't read the description telling everyone who's read it and those who SHOULD have read it that this is a Tool Assisted Run.
This was my first megaman game. What I wouldn't give to get this back.
These do have skill. It takes a lot of planning to put together this masterpiece.
You can always just find a normal speedrun somewhere else on UA-cam.
Zero: Hey, X. May I use those two new moves that you learned from Dr. Light?
X: SHOR U KEN! ^_^
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
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.
I love u man, no homo. Its just so entertaining to watch this! hyperfast
I agree, Zero's parts are collectable items so they should have been included in the run. I'm sure the player could have used savestates to make sure the X Hunters landed in stages he wanted.
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!
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?
Rogue yoshi what is your slow down ratio for your slow speeds? how slow do you set the speeds to? five?
tbh this guy sis not say he wont use glitches and bugs, he just show you what u can do/find in this game and in half an hour he got trough entire game,and made fun video of it, but still a pewpew vid =D ^^
*bows before you* You are the master.
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!
why does it seems that just a shot from mega man x damages way more than when you charge full energy and hit with it?
Same! I usually raged at that tricky jump in order to get the X-buster capsule.
This guy is so good at this game, HE IS A GOD!!!
rogueyoshi..
YOUR skill is so amazing!!!
You have to wonder how Sigma would feel, after orchestrating an elaborate scheme of reploid rebellion and world domination, to have it single-handedly thwarted in about half an hour.
Rather deflated, I'd imagine.
fast pace! you really beat the game in quite a style! Just to ask! Was this an easy mode? Anyways nice walkthrough!
Thats one killer shoryuken, even Ryu would be jealous of that.
ok it's like you played 15minutes '-'
OMFG! thats what i call a true player!!
He does get it. check around 24:11, that's when he gets to the upgrade pod with the shoryuken
Yes some nonMegamaniacs should believe it, but still don´t lose credits for the movie, some errors you can see it when you touch some enemys and you did not recieve any damage, and some highest jumps that you can really doin the real game. But, great video. Make me remember I have to play for 10000time.
"Alright those reploids should slow him down. Now I'm just gonna take a shit and then get to work on my plan to take over the world."
*30 minutes later*
"Ahhh, that was great, I'm just gonna wash my hands now and then--- OH GODDAMNIT"
*BOOM*
I love how Flame Stag is taken down with nothing but lemons
I take that back the first comment was right, they played this on super slow speed on an emulator, and they used save states so if they messed up they could go back and fix it with out you noticing
All hits are taken because they save time in one way or another.
There are no mistakes like that in a Tool Assisted Speedrun.
Best easter egg ever in a mega man game!!
This guys are not Gamers, this guys are Artists
you made me feel sad for those robots, almost looks like megaman is the evil one LOL
I don't understand how someone could dislike this? Jealousy perhaps?
