Mega Man X, Ep. #07: Launch Octopus

[emancipated68]

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzz... that second Anglerge. THAT'S the reason that this rage stage is tough. Not that rapist Octo, or the Utaburos. Not even the first Anglerge, it's a cakewalk.

[ThePressStartProject]

Yeah, the second one is a bit tricky. But once you get the hang of it, it shouldn't be that hard.

[Triggitius]

Oh god, the memories... Launch Octopus was always one of the last three bosses I took on, along with Mandrill and Kuwanger. So by the time I went to his stage, I was feeling fuckin' powerful and awesome. Megaman X is very probably the best game I ever/will ever have play(ed) in my entire life. Oh, and I was born in 1992, so this was one of the first games I ever played. :D

quien sea que lo maneje es Bueno ;)

[chica476]

Why is sting chameleon's left eye different from the right one?

[ThePressStartProject]

It's explained on the playthrough video of his stage: watch?v=9C6lRDP2tlg.

Short answer: sniping.

[chica476]

is megaman x, x2, and x3 avail. on the wii shopping thing? mine isn't hooked up to the internet.

[ThePressStartProject]

X2 is slated to be released soon, with X3 coming afterwards, although I'm not sure when exactly.

[freshrecordsbdalabel]

how do you get the thunder?

[ThePressStartProject]

Electric Spark? Defeat Spark Mandrill...

[MrYtuhermana]

I Hated this level! LoL

[ThePressStartProject]

Can't blame you.

It's more of a love/hate relationship with me, though.

[zzyzx0788]

So you CAN cut off his arms. Jesus I tried doing that forever

[TheCuster58]

I love how the Launch Octopus points at you and then points at the ground just before the fight, kind of like he's saying "you're going down!"...and then he gets completely crushed by X. Ha! I love Capcom. MegaMan forever!

[FAMOUSXxROCKSTARxX35]

so wait is his real name octopardo?

[ThePressStartProject]

Not really... Let's just say mistranslation.

[hisoj]

a classic, but still not better than megaman 2 and 3

[IshidaTheQuincy]

Why is the Chameleon Sting considered a weakness? According to MMKB, "it ruptures [Launch Octopus'] internal buoyancy/pressure system", but I couldn't see how that actually affected the battle in the game. I tried it on both the SNES and PSP versions, normal and charged weapon. Am I missing something?

[ThePressStartProject]

Well, it may not be a "weakness" per se (if we go by its definition), but certainly "rupturing its internal buoyancy/pressure system" would make him function less efficiently. Wouldn't you agree?

I'd say that's a weakness

[IshidaTheQuincy]

@ThePressStartProject

Yeah, but what I mean is that I see no practical effect on the game itself. I didn't see how that affected the battle (like how the Boomerang Cutter cuts his tentacles off).

[taknarian]

Ahhh lawl! Perfect run and true Launcher Octopuld embarrassment.

[IshidaTheQuincy]

I guess the Boomerang Cutter can be classified as a "weakness" to, can't it?

[ThePressStartProject]

In a way it could; I'd say it technically is, but you're better off using either the RS or the X-Buster rather than the BC alone.

[CoreySchmitt]

Horming Torpedo.

[henryhenriquez]

wow that bos gave me a hard time when i was smaller but ill probably own it now, i died some few times vs the sand sucking machine tou

[Tikku4ever]

Good Lord. You make these bosses look laughable. No damage on any of the bosses so far. You're really good at this. Well done

[ThePressStartProject]

Thanks. I guess having played the game so much has made me know it like the back of my hand. =)

[IshidaTheQuincy]

Yeah, I too can't tell how many times I've cleared this game. This one is the first game I've ever played, and my absolute favorite one.

As said previously, you're REALLY good at this. Thanks for sharing these videos and all the interesting info! I've played this game a LOT, and still I found out a lot of things I've never heard about. :)

[ThePressStartProject]

Thanks, glad you're enjoying them and that the info is being read. =P I admit I got lazy with the last four videos, but I promise I'll revisit them later and add proper info.

[mariomaniac6411]

I love how he mimes "your going down!"

[ThePressStartProject]

If X could mimic the "Yeah, righ!" expression... =P

[CirqueDuFreak2000]

About time!

[ThePressStartProject]

I know, right?

I've been too busy lately...
