Mega Man X5 by Luiz Miguel in  

Such a shame, Tidal Makkoeen is a much better name.

@@docbuni is not

Duff McWhalen is the funniest best/name for a robot boss lmao

I am totally trying that next time I play X5!

same, I been binging Mega Man AGDQ vids for the past couple of days and the x5 and x6 stats always get to me haha.

@@Fiber64 I did the same thing and had friends that didn't believe me.

In my case, I discovered that after years of playing it, when trying to acces to the final levels early.

@@ItsTommiii too bad the Megaman X series just keep losing popularity, it's a miracle that there is still some runs in GDQ. The X series speedrunning had died long ago.

Tava pensando se ele era BR. O sotaque e tals deu a entender. O nome tbm. Mas n vi mencionando em canto algum. Parabéns Luiz

Muito parabéns para ele mesmo, X5 junto com X4 e o X1 são meus favoritos para série Megaman X

I was about to ask if Luiz Miguel was a fellow brazilian, that name sounded so familiar for obviously reasons hahahahahaha

Jajaja. Jugando, el mismisimo Sol de América 🤣

I dont know,because he wants to finish the game in less time possible?

It doesn't.

It's just a form to *actually* guarantee success.

No, defeating all mavericks gives a good chance but there’s still a small chance the cannon will fail

@@amso7169 Yup, as he said during the demo time, the RNG can still screw you even if you get all 4 Enigma and 4 Shuttle pieces, the Enigma RNG by default is pretty bad, but the Shuttle has better odds with all 4 pieces, but even so the RNG can still blow your efforts and give you the bad outcome, both tools can be manipulated to always work even if you have no pieces... at least on the Ps1 version in a consistent way, Ps2, GCN and the Legacy Collection 2 version has no way to manipulate the RNG in a consistent way (I don't know if is possible to create a perfect RNG manipulation in those versions by the player hand instead of a demo play... heck, the demo play method is out of question in Legacy Collection 2... because there's NO demo play at all, and in GCN and Ps2 the demo cannot be used either because when you load your save, the game has to pretty much "reload" itself because the game enters in the collection frontend to load your save data... however in this case I might be wrong, maybe more research is needed to validate that).

The original Ps1 version, because on that version you can actually manipulate the Enigma and Shuttle RNG behavior on your favor regardless of the pieces you have obtained, the re-releases on Ps2/GCN and Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 that factor is out of question and you have to rely on luck no matter what (Ps2 and GCN are the worst on that regard, the RNG is kinda rigged in favor of the bad outcome for the shuttle even with all pieces).

It was an easier sigma, but at the time it was the hardest megaman x game to date imo.

slash dash slash dash slash dash slash dash ...

He wanted to manipulate the RNG behavior of the Enigma to be the rare positive result to open the final stages without risking of losing Zero by a bad RNG behavior during normal play (he explains during the demo time the reason of why he left it play), by the way, the RNG manipulation is only on the original Ps1 version (at least with the demo), the other versions on GCN, Ps2 and the Legacy Collection re-releases don't have a consistent way to manipulate it, I honestly still trying to figure out a consistent way to get a good RNG behavior in the Legacy Collection versions (and I play it casually more than trying to do speed runs).

Like what?

This game is so Love/Hate for me, I don't mind playing it but at the same time I always point out the short comings.

People that hate this game get caught up in the rng and the shuttle, if you can put that to the side, it has killer gameplay, difficulty and soundtrack. Only shortcomings is that Tidal whale stage which

Not as broken as the sequel X6.
