Thanks! I'm always happy to help provide some inspiration. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Also known as a Democrat 😂

Burble being at least partially responsible for the chain of events that culminates in the Legends series is actually quite fitting when considering that the forest he inhabits has the whole Reaverbot aesthetic. I've already featured Burble in four videos now, so I wouldn't be surprised if I come up with more ways to tackle him or his stage. I just keep coming back for more.

Yup. I've been having a lot of fun trying it out on many different bosses, and there are still many more I can do.

@@DZ-Three I see.

also green, makes me want to replay the game but i match my attire with the color of the boss, should be fun

@@fakhrulrazi225 That's a neat idea. My immediate thought is how to handle the Beetle Bros in that scenario. Maybe switching between Normal and X Form depending on which is in the background could work. Power Form could be justified too since red and blue make purple.

I've given it some consideration. Full-game speedruns are very different from the stage or boss-specific challenges I do, so it'd certainly take a lot of adjustment. I'm glad that you think I've got the potential for it, though.

Rospark also resembles Tornado Tonion while in his bulb from as well. In that way, he's sort of a fusion of two X series Mavericks.

Thanks! The double rolling slashes are pretty interesting. Watching Fefnir get hit by it at full speed looks somewhat messy. However, if you parse by frame, you can see that the initial part of the slash that would inflict long i-frames for the second hit just barely missies him due to the short duration i-frames from the first hit lasting just long enough. It's neat how the timing just happens to work out perfectly.

Thank you! The margin of error is quite slim on these combos indeed. It took quite a bit of practice.

@@DZ-Three I don't doubt it. There are multiple instances where Zero and Fefnir are literally touching, yet there's no contact damage. At one point you managed to find the pixel-perfect point where you could stand perfectly still and Fefnir would jump right over you. I don't know how you did that without ever touching his hitbox.

​@@ToniBingi All of that is made possible thanks to the fact that many hitboxes in Mega Man games are mismatched with character and attack sprites. Learning what you can get away with in terms of positioning and combo sequences is a very time-intensive process, but it does produce some nice results.

Thanks! Recently, I've been trying the method of taking the game backgrounds and placing the character sprites manually for the thumbnails. It's actually kind of fun to do, so I might keep going with it.

@@DZ-Three Alrighty then, do what you have to do my friend.

Those kicks are tough but satisfying to land. Certainly not practical, but lots of fun.

Yup, I had to let Zero finally feel a bit of pain for once. For this specific run, it was a preferable solution to using the Recoil Rod instead.

@@DZ-Three Ah okay.

I do enjoy me some After Burner Kick, but only in Bayonetta's actual games. I haven't played Smash since Brawl, if you can believe that. It'd be nice if Buckfire could kick upward like Bayonetta; that'd be quite useful.

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that you liked the thumbnail. It's the most effort I've put into one so far.

There's a glitch where the waves from VarSword (and AntiSword) strike the Prism multiple times instead of just once. That's why the damage output is so high.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed the run and the description as well.

Thanks! It's definitely easier to jump over them when possible, but obviously I just had to go for the cool factor.

Thanks! The underwater route becomes pretty fun once you're able to consistently jump between the fish. In most scenarios, enemies automatically blowing up when passing through doors is beneficial, but it's a bit unfortunate that it's unavoidable here.

Soul Launcher being a late-game EX Skill doesn't help it either. To get the most out of it, you have to try incorporating it into your gameplay during new game plus.

It does take some getting used to since the inputs are opposite to what you'd expect, but after using it enough times during these challenges, it's pretty much second nature to me.

Thank you very much!

Thanks! I'll do my best to keep coming up with interesting challenges. I think the Zero series has a good, definitive ending, but I'd certainly like to see ZX3/ZXC at some point.

I am pretty sure he got lucky rng and he didn't do the roll attack.

In this case, the RNG is consistent and easily manipulated since Maha's door is so close to the start of the level. If you slice through the Pantheons with the Saber and enter the door and stand still, Maha should open with his roll first. From there, if you follow the exact movements shown in the video, he should never roll or swing.

@@DZ-Three Oh really? Okay then.

I think it's just how round Maha is that makes him look kind of funny. He reminds me of Phan Phan from Kirby.

@@DZ-Three Yeah me too

Well, there's a good amount of luck involved if you want to avoid damage, but if you get the right pattern, it's fairly simple to avoid his attacks while looping the Shield.

This specific fight using Model a against Buckfire wasn't all that difficult to learn, so there wasn't any issue with motivation for me here. I think that, after having fought Craft with the Water Gun only, other minimalist boss challenges feel comparatively simple.

@@DZ-Three Yeah I saw the first half of the fight, it was pretty simple like just get in close to him and will make his AI attacks like the Burning Arrow & Crash Bunt useless. Only threat I find is when he is low on health, he changes pattern and does the Double Tomahawk more or when he backs away and use Burning Arrow to throw off your position. Reminds me of MegaMan 9 Magma Man and his Magma Bazooka fight lol! 😂

​@@leongyuhinleong That's a good point. Considering that Inti made MM9 right after ZXA, there's a good chance that Buckfire's arrows served as the basis for Magma Bazooka.

Thanks! That section is quite tough to do quickly. It makes sense that it houses one of the more powerful Cyber-Elves.

Thanks! Using Model a during boss fights does take a lot of patience. It's much more suited to fighting regular enemies, so if you ever want to give it a try, I recommend picking any stage and messing around with it to see what you can come up with.

Thank you! For all of my Zero/ZX stuff, I play using Retroarch. I find emulation much more convenient for recording purposes. For ZXA specifically, I use the undub romhack.

This is Buck breaking

Glad I could help you discover some new tricks. That's the beauty of Mega Man in general. There are always new and interesting ways you can approach stages and bosses, no matter how many times you play.

DZ3 never fails to amaze

I honestly can't recall if I knew about the secret rooms before, but even if I did, I certainly forgot about them. For this run, I made sure to reference a map so that I could commit the route to memory and ensure I didn't miss any items.

Thank you very much!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Full item collection runs aren't something I typically do, but this one ended up being quite interesting, so I'll consider doing more in the future.

Skipping the first few platforms and hooking onto that one saves a lot of trouble. Generally, you want to minimize the amount of precision swinging with the Chain Rod, as it's quite difficult to get right, even after extensive practice. Thanks again for the suggestion, it was fun to work on.

Yup. There are a few reasons why, but I find that aiming for one video per week works well for me, especially when trying to complete particularly difficult ideas like this one.

@@DZ-Three I see.

To be fair to Model ZX, it does have the intro portion where Powmettaur gets bonked in the head. Still, ZX taking roughly a third of the runtime on its own is indeed funny.
