Technically it's impossible to beat every boss after the initial 8 without special weapons, considering you get Tenkuuha from Storm Owl, which is an upgrade to your basic saber allowing you to nullify projectiles while attacking.
Dude... Props to you, you made the hardest bosses look like a fucking cakewalk, especially with no special weapons. Unbelievable. The owl was the absolute worst, I think I was eventually able to beat him after forever, with maybe a sliver of health left. You just flawlessly beat him, and what's even more surprising is that it seems most no damage runs that people do are only done with special weapons. I don't even bother watching them. Doesn't show much skill in my opinion, if they need to use special weapons to actually do a no damage run.
Try watching a mmx5 run with Z saber and giga attack button disabled. Z buster, C-flasher and F-splasher only. Yeah you're using a couple special weapons but getting past certain bosses and levels with Zero is damn near impossible with the Z buster alone. And you cannot use x unless you unlock him by gathering the Gaea parts by zero. Unfortunately you need X to get certain capsules using the respective bosses weapons but that's an exception. * cannot use x buster! Only c-shot, goo-shaver and f-laser. You can still defend yourself using these weapons. It's a fun challenge I came up with and so far, I haven't seen anyone do this.
