I've played X3 at least a couple of times, and yet I never knew about this tech with the purple buster shot and going up with the legs part to gain a bit more of height and reach the heart tank + body part capsule. Keep rockin!
Such a sick run! I love this demonstration of the Neon Jump and your general skill here! I’ll have to go in slow motion thru all your Neon Jumps when I get back home. I also never realized how important this technique is in X3. Thank you for this vid!
i could never pass those damned ceiling turrets without getting hit by their beams. i also need to work on my neon jumps... awesome work man. the hand cam is a great touch.
Key is to time it so they're pointing straight down or ideally towards you. If they're pointing away from you, you're effectively inside the danger zone longer - your head will trigger them and your feet will still be inside their range when they fire.
Very nicely done! Me and a friend have been streaming this game to each other a lot lately, as we get a kick out of making new rules out of how we should play this game.
Wow, these Neon Jumps were perfect. Pls do more of these segmented runs. Especially i liked seeing Ray Splasher I never used it out of the fight against gravity Beetle. Hope to see more of it with your Hands on screen.
What an amazing speed run! I could never do those neon jumps. Also forgot that blizzard Buffalo’s weapon was good for farming health when fully charged. I only used it to reach the ride armor part in toxic seahorse’s stage lol
Always delightful to see you run these games!!! Great video Magnus! Had just been rewatching your X2 Weapon Master videos, so this coincidence came in amazingly. Also the charged ice weapon (never learned the names lol) sound effect is kinda asmr ngl
The most experience with segmented Megaman runs would be my current playthrough of Zero 3 where I’m trying to get A rank on all levels. I definitely enjoy seeing Megaman X segmented runs though, as usually I’ll play stupid and just pop an E-Tank to move on. It’s fun to see this in the X series, especially when you’re going for completionist on the level.
Man, that is great on how you can do the neon jumps so consistently. I'm okay at doing them, but trying to do it consistently is my biggest weakness. I need more practice.
Never realized you could get the armor piece without needing charged gravity well. That could make routing this game more interesting. Though that requires me learning the tech, and that could take awhile.
Currently starting to get into Mega Man games. I havent played X3 yet, but having played a bit of both X1 and X2, and *a lot* of X4 (don't ask why I played it before this one, I'm not sure myself) my main question is: HOW DID YOU DO THAT
I recently got myself a controller and came across your channel while searching for guides and handcam gameplays. It's insane to me how people can play this well on a controller since all my 2D platformer experience is with a keyboard. It seems weird to not be able to use 3 fingers at the same time (for dash, jump and shooting) and only counting on your thumb. DO YOU have any advice to give or guides to provide to someone like me who wants to get into using a controller for these types of games?
No way, I also use L to Dash instead A xD and when I used to play on pc (emulator of course) I crossed my hands, left hand on arrow keys and right hand on "A, Z, X, C , S, D, W, E" Keys
I don't know the details, but at least in X2 the Neon Jump is used to jump midair, so maybe it reset your jumps and dash. But is a very precise technique
0:42 Bro , those Neon Jumps that you made are so EPIC
2:22 Seen Magnus destroying megaman bosses always make my day better
I would be an anxious wreck playing this stage trying not to get hit by every "think fast" obstacle LMAO, your confidence while playing is insane
Most of it is not thinking at all and just dashing asap tbh.
The secret(for me at least ) is failing runs so many times your soul leaves your body by the time succeed.
That just sounds like explaining Trial and Error but with extra steps.

Going for the S rank in "Duel in the Desert" does things to a man.
3:19 I love that little playful thumb motion along with the jingle, I can tell you were happy with the recording.
0:09 Hitting that frame 1 stage select.

They're called Neon Jumps. I'm currently working on a tutorial video about them.
That was worthy of the legendary X Rank.
INSANAMENTE INCRÍVEL! como sempre!

awesome work man. the hand cam is a great touch.

Just dash, dude.
GOD DAMN BRO that shit was clean, who needs to speedrun when you can just make X look so good?
Nice Speedrun Magnus ! The idea of we see your hands on the control while you are playing is awesome , you should do this more times .
Excellent playthrough of the stage. Something about the handcam adds some flavor
Next thing we know we’ll see Magnus doing Zero perfect runs with a GBA cam
iirc he DOES have a GameBoyPlayer so he could hook up a real GBA as a controller if he has the Link cable
man i love x3 and will defend it until the day i die. the run was sick as all hell man good shit
My Gawd… are you even HUMAN? That was SICK.
Mind blowing gameplay 😁🔥
This shows why you're still the king of megaman

You were cutting it close with those Neon Jumps man, doing good!

What this brought my attention to is that i never realized just how fast our fingers move when playing action video games.
Man, that is great on how you can do the neon jumps so consistently. I'm okay at doing them, but trying to do it consistently is my biggest weakness. I need more practice.
Nice one Magnus, although it's not your focus I can imagine the bloopers possibilities with this handcam🤣🤣🤣
What a gamer. That was wild. Well done
Smooth run
That's my boy 😎
Noice gameplay!
I refuse to believe that Magnus is a human. I theorize that he is actually one of the first reploids made in real life, just kept in secret.
*tfw I realize he's been hinting at this the whole time with his full name (MagnusZERO)*
awesome
Dafuq these buster jumps, dude?! What a BEAST
Magnus, your fingerwork is something. I Never knew i can make those chargeshot jumps.
Fingerwork 😮💨
Ayo pause lmao
There is such cool music at the beginning of the level
3:05 Cool guys don't look at explosions...
Wow!
dag gum that was fuego 🔥
X 3's general level design is so fucking good.

Mega cool
I didn't even know you could spam frost shield and that's my favorite weapon from this game
*Magnus is god-tier.*
Good video and good no damage run, I can do the same movement for you with volt catfish and claw crawfish stage Magnus Zero Onii Chan
No way, I also use L to Dash instead A xD and when I used to play on pc (emulator of course) I crossed my hands, left hand on arrow keys and right hand on "A, Z, X, C , S, D, W, E" Keys
what brand of controller is that ? are they good ? i kinda need replacement controllers for my snes, but official ones are too expensive for me
Old Skool is the brand. They make several replicas of retro controllers. Their SNES and Genesis controllers are top quality.
Do you have the boot upgrade chip on or do neon jumps reset your air dash?
I don't know the details, but at least in X2 the Neon Jump is used to jump midair, so maybe it reset your jumps and dash.
But is a very precise technique
Neon jumps reset your air dash, cause it acts as a mid-air jump
People who can consistently do neons scare me
X3 Weapon Master, PLEASE!
Huh
Rank: SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
