Mega Man X6 Minimalist Speed Run - Ground Scaravich

[sageky]

man, your LP's deserve more views. especially for x6.

[sigurdtheblue]

Is this not the hardest Megaman challenge in existence? Amazing no damage run.

[ExpressionOfShock]

3:29

Were any runs failed because you accidentally jumped through the portal?

[rmnhn]

such a dangerous stage...

[Vido847]

Man this guy is such a beast, I love listening to this absolutely deadpan commentaries.

[sygnus5]

It's such a shame that the stage is horseshit, the whole "future-museum" vibe it has going gives it a nice touch of surreality, and the music pairs fantastically.

[PAVGN]

I didn't think this was the hardest stage in the game, but that's probably because I've never attempted a challenge like this. Really, I think It's amazing that you're able to conquer a stage as luck based as this, as well as the whole game.

[rmnhn]

@PAVGN you best believe it. the nightmares hit MUCH harder than you think, especially with normal X. and with that many nightmares, you'll die quicker than you can blink

[MareeksMareeks]

Wow this run didn't even look humanly possible. You have way more patience than me lol

[MilesTormani]

No matter how many different videos on Mega Man I see, this will always be my personal favorite. You show an absolute mastery over the system, and your ability to both plan around random elements and react properly despite them will always show itself to be impressive.

I am aware that, with how many retries are put into just this stage, that a lot of that is knowing what might happen in advance, but still.

[f3ailure]

I can't believe how close it was at 4:10; X actually seems to be showing the hit animation when he teleports in after that. You must have missed damage by a tenth of a second.

[drmanly08]

@f3ailure i think that's the landing animation from his jump aversion

[dismantlethesun67]

You're amazing, dude. Also you have an awesome taste in music. Thanks for uploading these jaw-dropping videos, bro, really.

[sygnus5]

On a positive note, this stage has a really unique visual theme, shame you have to slog through so much bullshit to appreciate it

[PentagonBlack]

JESUS. this is the level that pretty much killed megaman for me. i can still remember spending nearly 5 straight hours on this with a roommate back when it first came out. i don't think we ever even got to the halfway point, let alone scaravich himself (there's something both funny and infuriating about seeing how much of a lame pushover he is after all this time; we tried to crawl through hell to get to *that*?). hats off to you man.

[atsuroboy43]

WOW!

[Muchodelcrazy]

God, and then the boss is so retardedly easy. I don't even know if you can consider Ground Scaravich a boss. Has anybody ever actually died from him? Under any circumstances?

[skipperthetripper]

Hats off to you, may you never have to be so mentally challanged again. Although, you are bringing such tortue upon yourself.

[Zero100009]

HideofBeast you are a megaman x 6 hero. I always wanted to do this level without taking a hit. I try all the time, but with zero.

[Twilightsymphonies]

I do hope you took the time to split the heavens with a cry of " I AM GOD!" after finally perfecting this. It's the only action I can think of to make this all worth it.

[DeliciousMog]

It's amazing how awesome you can make this game look despite how bullshit it is, really. It almost makes me want to play it again.

Or maybe I should wait for Capcom to make another X game that takes the good parts of X6 without the bullshit. It'll happen.

[TheRealDysune]

HoB, you are a constant inspiriation for me to give life hell, and this is the pinnacle of those lessons I've learned from watching your videos. Great job man, you deserve a fucking medal.

[usuallydead]

HideofBeast, this video is absolutely insane.

Anyone who ever played any Mega Man game should be forced to watch this video and listen to your commentary. It gives incredible perspective on some of the really stupid shit Capcom has shipped, which contrasts so starkly with some of their genius. Also I offer my highest praise and respect for the sheer sharp-edged skill and amazing patience it took you to produce this video.

[DarkSuzkaiden]

Sugoi Story Aniki~

[HideofBeast]

Wow, YouTube's reply system is idiotic... that looks like a complete mess down there. : /

[TheMogX]

lol yeah.

[RageOfLeoEX]

the horror.....

[TheMogX]

Don look down on them, Also Thanks when i have time i finish that stuff.

[HideofBeast]

Also, I hope you didn't get the impression I considered myself better than other players or anything. O_o I was trying to say I'm actually not as good as many of the people who record their accomplishments that are out there. The point I was trying to make is that more impressive stuff exists than mine that is genuine. I respect anyone working hard to best a challenge they've set for themselves.

[TheMogX]

Well i do know some Koreans, Chineses, mexicans and americans, that play this game and i consider them fucking beasts my friends and rivals. So i kinda know the best people that play this game i know a varaety of diferents styles of playing and their limits. Undiscover talent? there is, but still they don't practice as much as us, they don't know the game as much as us, also i don't think they have same amount of tech-skill than us.

And sorry i got to go i watch your respond in the morning

[HideofBeast]

I've said my piece to try to explain to you that this isn't TAS and why that should be believable given other things that exist. In the end all I can give you are my assurances, though. No, I didn't TAS this. You can choose to believe that or not.

[HideofBeast]

I already told you, I've said my piece. I know some psychos of gaming myself. You're obviously not going to be convinced, but what more can I say that I haven't already said?

[TheMogX]

I understand, don't worry. but it's not a matter of convice or be convinced, prety much what i doing right now it's a matter of protecting the hard work, effort and acomplisment from all the other Megaman players around here.

But don't worry i not gonna ask you to show me how you play with a crapy video camera quality lol. You have defended your case and i satisface with your awnser. TAS or not TAS blah blah what ever, Still you have done a magnificent job and keep up with your good work.

[thray776]

@HideofBeast I think it's pretty awesome that you're SO GOOD someone can't believe that you did it on your own.

[TheMogX]

By any chance is this TAS video?

[HideofBeast]

No?

There's nothing in here overtly beyond human skill. It's just a seriously involved amount of time and luck manipulation through a frankly idiotic number of attempts... kind of like I describe in the video.

I'd also like to point out that while I'm proud of this challenge it's hardly the most impressive thing ever made or something crazy like that. Some of the runs on SDA, like the GoldenEye one, easily trump this for sheer insane timing and skill over a long period of play.

[HideofBeast]

I have to ask if you've a user named MegaDestructor9's videos. He holds most of the world records for MM9, and has a recent run for MM3 with over 30 solid minutes of sometimes pixel perfect button input and timing, and his play is legitimate.

[HideofBeast]

Also, I need to chime in with something completely unrelated and say make your last X8 vid, they're awesome. Completing the bosses in that game flawlessly in one go can't be any amount of fun to do, the Gateway video is a hell of an accomplishment.

[HideofBeast]

My point is there are people who are better than others in certain ways, and people who play genuinely who use timing and reflex more impressive than what you see in this video. Also, you have to understand a large deal of this memorizing situations in advance, rather than reacting to them the second they come up. Some situations that arise here are obviously impromptu, and what you don't see are the 99% of times where I don't react to these at all. I just take the hit. There's much luck here.

[morypcaina]

and of course this stage ends with one of the 5 easiest mavericks in the series. perfect.

[Wing0fSilver]

I know my general tone and manner of speaking has been somewhat calm and cool in my commenting of your previous videos, but I have to break that habit right now.

HOLY MOTHER OF CHRIST ALIVE!

Also, I'm flattered you mentioned me in your rant about this stage. I wish there was a score higher than ten or some sort of award I could give you for this, but I should think no earthly treasure could amount to the sheer effort you've put into this. Very. Well. Done.

[TellKenzine]

My god, you deserve a fucking medal for getting through this stage alone without going crazy.

[NonRandomUser]

Vegeta, what does it say about his willpower level?

IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!

[HuskyVerbatim]

Surprisingly, I don't think you use the word 'fuck' once in this entire video.

Also, good job.

[HideofBeast]

Well fuck.

[AstonishingAce]

Absolutely incredible. This video is a triumph of man versus megaman.

[HideofBeast]

That blue bastard will never take me alive.

[AstonishingAce]

I spent over a week on one level in N+ once.

I was very proud at the time, but now I feel much less accomplished.

[t2thefox]

You are the most patient man in the world.

[AirPhforce]

Holy shit fucking props. Mad props.

[RenegadeHero13]

That is NUTS, man.

[leonflash]

Dear Lord...

It's like a bullet hell game.

[danjohnellis]

over 90 attempts!?!?!?

you sir are the god of megaman.
