 that's true Uh-oh, we've got a new series here. That's right. I'm gonna be doing Mega Man x2 Got pretty burnt out on Robotrek and like I said at the beginning of that let's play it's Gonna be one I'm gonna be going back to frequently You know to do five episodes here ten episodes there, but in the meantime all the maverick hunters or something Yeah, this time it's dr. Cain no more dr. Light I guess Big backstory here for Mega Man x2 Of course, you can skip all this The the overall history between Mega Man. There's like different. It's it's almost like it's a comic book series that you find with Like Marvel or DC where it's like Jesus Christ It's so overwrought with so many different timelines and different Versions and different things. It's like it's hard to keep track of and it's easy to get burnt out and just be like whatever I forget all of it Yeah, here we are with Mega Man x2 and it's yeah, this is one of those games that has one of those special chips I can't remember the name of it off the top of my head, but it's got the the wire 3d Effect going on there. First thing you want to do is I've changed dash to R Um you keeping dashes a is super awkward to me So if I switch the dash to R, that's much easier Much easier because you start the game with the ability to dash which is really really really nice Immediately we're met with a really cool opening scene here Action right off the bat. They knew what they were doing with Capcom. I mean damn Yeah, the ability to dash right away. I love it This is gonna be a little tough for me because I'm not sure what to say, you know Number one, it's gonna be a little hard to talk while I'm playing Mega Man And number two, I'm not sure what quite to say In between a Mega Man, I guess I can talk about my own personal experience with Mega Man I mean I Didn't have a Nintendo growing up. I had we had an Atari 2600 when I was very little it was my sisters my older sisters and And You know it was it was one of those deals where my parents did not want to get a Nintendo for me just you know We didn't have that much, you know, we were middle-class, but we didn't have that much money But you know they to them the Atari 2600. It's like it's only 10 years old Why would you want to get rid of it now? You know, it's we've barely got no money's worth from it So we never did get an NES and that's fine because I had friends that lived down the road from me That played it And here we have our first boss Whoops How do I get that? Oh, I gotta go all the way over here to climb up to Oops Yeah, really easy boss just four charge shots and he's dead anyway, I Bring that up because my minimal in my minimal exposure to the NES Mega Man very quickly became my favorite Games gaming franchise particularly Mega Man 3 stood out to me as Being really good. I'm not sure why that one I think it's because that there was a certain issue of Nintendo power that's I had all the Hit that had a hit chart for what weapon Yeah, here we've obviously got silhouettes of the villains here talking about talking smack about Mega Man Mega Man X in particular But yeah, just the straightforward nature of Mega Man always And the fact that there was kind of a quote-unquote science behind it like This weapon takes this many shots to beat this boss and this weapon takes this many shots to beat this boss I really like that as a kid. I still like it now so When I got a Super Nintendo Christmas in 1991 the first I was on pins and needles waiting for a Mega Man games So yeah needless to say I rented Mega Man X Mega Man X 2 Mega Man X 3 all the time and Mega Man X 2 over time It's become my favorite and here we go. We're we're past the intro stage One thing this game does not have is it doesn't have that cool like You know where you can flip between There's not a lot of information on the boss stages Like the first game where it gives you like stats and stuff like that But anyway, we want to start with wire sponge Why I'll show you right away The wall on the left just climb up it and there is a heart piece right there so right off the bat you get extra You get an extension of your life meter Insert joke here anyway One thing I want to ask the commenters of course. I'm recording this like back in what is today. It's the first week of March I'm not sure when this will even get posted But those glass beams I or those glass orbs that thing over there that I just I just missed the jump there What significance to those have and doesn't matter if you break those or not oops I'm trying to get my footing here. There we go Not sure what the point of breaking those is they appear to control the weather on the surface like that would make sense like the weather would would Normalize, you know, obviously, it's raining and it's windy We got our first energy tank there So yeah, I would that would think that would be the significance there, but it's obviously, you know, it's not the case damn it Dash and then blow them up and dash to get out of there Yeah, I'm not the best let's play commentary guy obviously Not entirely sure what to say when playing a game like this other than just rambling about nothing Sorry. Oh, I forgot about these things. Oh Those go away eventually cool. Oh There we go. Yeah, I guess there's not much else to say other than Why I think this game is better than Mega Man X that's seemed to annoy a few people Mega Man X I'll make no bones about it. It's got better level design and it's got I Think it's got a little bit better. Geez. I'm getting my ass kicked here. It's got a little bit better Weapons boss weapons to you to pick from and to use like I think they're a little more fun Oh There we go. I think they're a little more fun to use the boss weapons in this game are okay The level design of this game is still good, but it's not near let Mega Man X but the two things that I point it like I pointed out in my review that's a Are are really fun about this game number one is the mid-air dash. It's the leg upgrade in this game There we go. We can farm for life a little bit Get that get some life in the the old energy tank Number two is yeah, I'm not getting anything from this guy number two is that The supercharged Arm cannon that you get is is really awesome and really satisfying to use and Just a lot of fun. It's it's basically what I love about the Mega Man series It's just the pure satisfaction I'm just annihilating these robotic things. I Don't know. That's just me Let's get some life in the the old Tank, sorry if I'm boring you with life farming here, but it's just what I do here That's a little click there that little beep when you click when you pick up a life that indicates that it is your Your thing filling up I'm not getting any luck now. Oh, there we go. I think that should be enough I think that should be at least halfway with the energy tank Yeah, that's about halfway that'll work Onto Wire sponge here. It's always a little intimidating taking on a boss in Mega Man and then one of the Mega Man X games without It's weakness without its weapon. Ooh ouch Because you know you just have to arm cannon at least when you know you have his weakness It's almost like a confidence thing like it's like yeah I know I can take this guy because I know I have his weakness when it's just you and your arm cannon It's a little like It's just me and him. I don't know if I can do this, you know But oh Shit out of the way. I almost got him halfway down Look out Yeah, that's what he does. He plants these little wires on the ground that act as spikes He's kind of want to stay out his way as he's doing that and then attack him as he's hanging on the thing hanging on this little Vine rope thing or whatever you want to call it Got him less than halfway. I haven't had to use my energy tank yet ouch Don't rush either. It's uh-oh. He's mad. He's angry. Anyway, don't rush through these boss fights It's easy at least for me. It's easy to feel like you need to like beat this guy ASAP and like really take advantage of every Opportunity you have but really there's no time limit here. Just take your time pick your spots Concentrate on dodging and then take taking it, you know, he's only got one thing left I should be able to take care of him here There we go That's more like it. So there we go our first boss in the bag Let's see what kind of weapon we get We get nice little fanfare music and then the same little pose as Mega Man X I got the strike chain and we're gonna use that to beat the wheel gator next time. Thanks for watching Have a great rest of your day
