Mega Man X2: Final Boss Glitch

[dbrocker30]

Can they just make like 10 more mega man x games using this format! Nothing better than the simple 2D format, 8 bosses, the challenge of finding every E tank, Heart, and capsule. Trying to find which bosses have weaknesses with the other bosses weapons....classic...

If they don't want to bring back Sigma just create other huge, insane bosses and get creative with the 8 bosses. I know i would by it!

[MarmotteHazard]

X did that WITH THE HELP OF RYU & KEN !!

[Lukey1390]

X, Zero and Sigma talk so friendly, with smiles and serenity. It creeps me out sometimes D:

[foxmccl]

Может, это не глюк, а секрет? xD

[megaman7537]

Does that glitch can be done on emulator??

[MutekiRarus]

Gotta love the baddies' teleports.

[Timic83tgwtg]

shoryuken has WAY to much invuln...

[MegamanZ9000]

HOLY SHIT! THE X-BUSTER COLOR IS FUCKING AWESOME! I WANT IT TOO!

[MegamanZ9000]

2:03 Who the hell is he talking about?

[rentorules]

i like this red megabuster shot....so much cooler

[superlegoman64]

Sigmas going more for Wolverine Instead of a Jedi here?

[SuperSonicHedgehog11]

@soymegaman mira si no has jugado megaman x, megaman x2. Podes comprarte el Megaman X Collection.

[Slapperfish]

5:36 - MY HEAD ASPLODE

[megamanrocks99]

Do i smell a hidden godmode?

[ultradinosaur123]

Aww, c'mon, that was my favorite battle. Nothing like good ol' X and Zero beating the crap out of each other :P

[jtrevor99]

@ultradinosaur123 Personally I like the Mega Man X5 version of that fight more. Zero's a lot tougher there than he is in X2. :)

[ultradinosaur123]

@jtrevor99 yeah, he's funner too. But I just like the music.

[shadowdragonX4]

@jtrevor99 personally the fight of the x4 ist facking awesomeç

[krazyazn208]

its kidna cool how they talk back to back.. kinda epic-like

[carsontroeh]

fight 1 : you cannot gasp the epicness of megaman x's armor!

fight 2 : i stand corrected >.>

[perun1nj]

Zero: There's only zero One!!! ...Wait i think i got that backwards...

[jerelbowman]

@perun1nj amazing haha

[MrComocunacara]

good glitch



[Allraounder]

Noom cheater



[estobern0]

ooo cool glith :D

[sueet240able]

This game is 2d! Why is the final boss' second 3D?!

[XgrimXrockerX]

thats  the result of images of an animated 3d model!

[CirqueDuFreak2000]

You should have studied the blueprints closer! I could never be defeated by a charged shot!

[tlomas00]

Hard? It's the easiest final boss in all MMX games

[Mashiki]

From what I've heard, Maverick Hunter X was supposed to be the start of a total retcon of the X series, meaning they are starting over from scratch, changing key events to make a better story. However, since the game did poorly financially, I'm sure the whole idea has been scrapped :[

[nypad5]

@Mashiki I honestly blame the music in that game...I mean what the hell did they do to our favorite tracks? they slaughtered them hardcore, I hate that j-pop stupid remixes...Megaman X was ALL ABOUT the heavy metal!

[Mashiki]

I can totally agree with that sentiment. I have almost always preferred the original in-game music over the arranged soundtrack to the Megaman games, X or otherwise. Megaman X music in particular, however, is butchered the worst when remixed.

[ChessPieceRook]

I think i have an idea of why the buster shots are red, normally when x falls, zero's pallet is unloaded from the ram, but is x uns into the sigma fight before that, the game has no chance to unload the pallet, and it seems zero's red used the same address as the buster pallet.

[zebezd]

Indeed, definitely Zero's palette. The normal blue colors are all switched out for Zero's red armor color, and the green first level charge is Zero's blonde hair :D

Also; I think I know how this works. The "corrupted buster" (as someone here called it) is a side effect of the invincibility glitch, not just here. The criteria for gaining invincibility is to have the animation for Shoryuken broken off. The Shoryuken probably uses Zero's pallette, replacing the buster pallette as you said.

[Sureyouareken]

Why the color of X-buster change with the glitch? Don't make senses!

How you find this glitch?

[BradZorZZZ]

GOD the final boss is hard.

[Dilster7000]

Please Make

Mega man Maverick Huter X2 for PSP PLEaSE!!!

[Evilarcher2000]

*Punches a hole under X*

Zero: "Oh sh**, he just fell- Ah I don't care."

[fanoultimatev2]

@Evilarcher2000 pure badass

[jtrevor99]

It's a side effect of the glitch.

[SandSlashXD]

SHORYUKEN!

[megaman64200]

Dude, the blasters' colors look cool! :D

[culvre]

i don't think sigma explodes for a long enough period of time.

[Athumb]

"Sigma you should of studyed the blue prints better! It wasent sword, armour bolts! It was just legs, body and head!."

"Curses foiled again."

[tomandjerry600t]

There is only 1 in 0

[Dissexional]

BAM¡ BAM¡ BAM¡ take that fake zero¡¡ LOL

[Dissexional]

Mmmm te perdiste los mejores, el x, x2 y x3.

[jtrevor99]

You definitely need to play the original Mega Man X then. I also recommend the Zero series.

[awolfen2]

to answer xjamanta's question because he wanted to thats why.

[kefkiroth]

the mega buster is diferent, why?

[jtrevor99]

I've wondered that myself. I figure that the answer is pretty mundane: it probably has something to do with the text boxes-specifically the fact a couple of them don't get to "finish". The SNES can only display 256 colors at a time, so they had to do some palette swapping on stuff that will never appear together (like text & the Buster).

[foxxthefox]

Actually.. if you ask me.. that color is better... and better if megaman x will have the color of black! ;D

[Polychromophilia]

@kefkiroth The game hasn't unloaded the weapons palette for the Dragon Punch from memory.

[stopsnitchin1017]

thanks a lot! Finally figured it out. You were a big help.

[stopsnitchin1017]

Ok how do you do that without X automatically running back to the door? I've tried so many times and i still can't do it.

[jtrevor99]

It's all about the timing--you have to dash into the room, then, just when the gate starts to close or perhaps a split second before, use the Shoryuken. If your timing's off by more than a half second or so, X will walk back to his normal starting position.

[WillpowerXG]

I have one question, why are two of the searchlights missing. At 0:29 and 0:33 there should be searchlights behind those walls, but there aren't.

[jtrevor99]

All the searchlights are there...but depending on your video settings you might not see them, since they're "flickering" and so are only displayed every other frame.

[WillpowerXG]

oh well we have a really crappy computer so we need it to be really low quality to watch.

[jtrevor99]

Looks like I was wrong anyway. :)

When I converted it to youtube's preferred format, the flickering apparently was eliminated so they appear pretty solid here...

Anyway, all the searchlights are there, at least for the SNES version. Maybe there's additional ones on other versions?

[PropellerBusted]

Might have more to do with them not being CAPTURED during encode due to said flickering.

[Shadowii2]

X: Oh poor Sigma boy, am I too strong for you?

Sigma: Just die already! *cries*

X: Heh, such a loser.

[TheUltimateGamer07]

Excellent find. I wouldn't have thought of that.

[Leohuizar]

heres 2 more tips from a MMXpert:

When dashing, dashjumping, or air dashing then shooting it adds damage to the attack[but this doesnt work past mmx2]

When fighting sergesV2, have a full G.Crush and as soon as the fight starts use it [try to be on top of the floater] when the machine falls apart jump to the edge of the ledge of sergesV2's machine, face away from Serges and use charged Slicers and he will not hit you at all, just keep charging and shooting S.Slicers

[actipton80]

I didn't know about that trick. I guess you learn something new every day.

[IdeonFukkatsu]

Looking back, I think it's actually better to not get the zero parts and fight him...because the music is awesome and the fight is epic.

[WillpowerXG]

you hear it regardless when Zero kills the fake

[Nujerseykid]

ill feel like a dumbass rite now, i got up to this boss not realizing i had to find any upgrades, now its too late to get em and im stuck on a final boss with a normal blue megaman! lol

[xXxTheSorrowxXx]

Isnt there an third new guy in the new Megaman Series for Playstation 2? btw cool vid, I didnt know that there was even a "dragon punch". Naargh, I wish they would make more X games in this retro styles for newer systems with better effects =/

[jtrevor99]

Agreed wholeheartedly on the second comment!

The character "Axl" was added for Megaman X7 and X8. His special ability was to "copy" a defeated enemy. Truth be told, I prefer just recognizing X and Zero, the characters that have been there all along.

[xXxTheSorrowxXx]

Axl...hrm, I've seen many pitures of him, good idea but who createt him? Dr. Mommy, Dr. Willy, Dr. Rolli...? ^^

[jtrevor99]

Heh heh :)

None of the above. He's supposedly a "next generation Reploid" or somesuch. Haven't read much on his background.

[xXxTheSorrowxXx]

He hasn't got a background.. xD

[PegasoltaEclair]

Yes, there are no clues about who created Axl.

[reillo9]

the reploid factory lol jk idk who made him

[realmiker]

lol i don't know this ending:P

[neospriss]

Whenever I try this glitch, I do the flaming punch but X ends up running back to the correct position

[jtrevor99]

You're doing it too early then. You have to be up in the air while the gate on the left hand side is closing. In fact, you need to start the punch just a split second before it starts closing.

[megadanX4]

That glithc was removed in the nintendo's gamecube MMX collector's edition.

[PropellerBusted]

Yeah, can't do it on PS2 either it seems.

[JawlyRogers]

When that stage becomes available you can also enter it via Magna Centipede's level (they are the same level).

[JawlyRogers]

Black armor gray haired Zero is awesome!

[jtrevor99]

Yeah, MMX2 has a lot of "firsts" for Zero.

First appearance of the Z-Saber

First appearance of the armor design used in the rest of the series

First appearance of black armor Zero

First reference to Zero being "last...of the doctor's creations..."

[JawlyRogers]

That fake Zero was his black armor?! I thought that guy was a fake...But it would be cool if that fake guy could join X and Z.

[jtrevor99]

Well, this guy was a fake. But the idea of a black armored Zero was cool enough Capcom used it (for the REAL Zero) in subsequent games.

[LovelyAnimeBlossom]

amazing

[Arkentau]

Hmm, the sprite for charged shots colour swapped >_>

[jtrevor99]

It's difficult to pull off because it has to be one smooth motion. If you're facing right, it's right, then down, and then at the same time, press diagonally down-right and attack.

[miciso666]

why didnt you shoryuken him?

[jtrevor99]

It's been a while since I recorded this, but if I remember correctly, the shoryuken (flaming fist) attack will undo the glitch.

[magmablock]

nice finisher

[djHaQ]

No life bar....

[jtrevor99]

Are you talking about the final boss (Sigma virus)?

[djHaQ]

Of course. I've only played MMX (never killed Sigma's final form... arg so it's rolling thunder....), so I was confused at this, though I guess you can clearly see the progression of the "Sigma virus" decay.

[Schyfis]

I had always wanted to try this one, but could never find the time. Great job!
