The Donut, is actually an Ouroboros. A lizard biting the end of its tail. It symbolizes the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Much like Blaze Heatnix which I based on the Phoenix.
I think it looks cool, it's awesome how it doesn't even fit on screen all at once. A bitch to fight since it has a little too much health and the hitboxes being too tiny, but I really don't mind the challenge and all these levels really left an impression on my mind. Edit: I'll be, I play this game to this day and just now I completely misremembered the scale of this thing. That's what I get for commenting before I watch the whole thing.
To be fair, there are some games you don't even have to PLAY to hate. You can just look at a game, see it's BS and hate it. Case and point? Me playing X6. I've seen it for years via Brainscratchcomms and Clement's playthrough and I just knew that I would hate playing through this; especially when you don't cheat like Johnny says (This game cheats, so you must cheat back). Then again, you literally need *A* armor to play the game as X. There are plenty of scenarios where normal X is unplayable due to lacking abilities like an Air Dash or a higher jump (granted, in the case of the latter, you can do some crazy precise parkour with special weapons and pausing, but I do not have that wit to do any of that).
@@alexfischer7876 I remember Matt walking through the gate multiple times when there was a giant gaping hole in the fence next to it, like it was yesterday~
So for context regarding the humans in the X series, If I am remembering the lore correctly, in X1-4 (Especially in the Maverick Hunter remake) humans are clearly around and a background element. However for X5, in the bad ending, humans retreat underground due to the sigma attack. However because X6 is an amalgamation of both endings in X5, since the world is seemingly destroyed and ravaged uninhabitable, Humans are living underground whilst Reploids worked to make the surface habitable, this is what leads to the plans for X8 to transport humans to the moon.
@@lightyoshiman I believe so yeah, I forgot to mention that but honestly in apocalyptic scenarios like X5, even in the good ending there's gonna be heavy collataral and civilian damage in the first place anyway. Thanks for reminding me of that too lmao
@@smashmaster521 It was just sarcasm, my dude. 😂 I don't hate X8, I just wish it gave me a REASON to use Zero since he's worthless for getting most of the Rare Metals. That...and if most of the levels we're not so gimmicky. Lol
I'm pretty sure DMC1 was before X6. It was August 23rd in Japan, and like late October worldwide. I believe X6 was like November 2001, but I could be wrong. Sam might also be Samanosuke from Onimusha since that was also 2001.
The way X is supposed to get to that area in Blaze Heatnix's and the two hostages next to the Heart Tank in Blizzard Wolffang's level is with the Blade Armor, it's got a 4 directional air dash that lets him get to weird angles like that one
Talking about X1 Something I appreciate is that all 8 maverick stages and bosses can be beaten without the dash boots. Bc it was no guarantee that you would have the boots. This being changed in X2 where you where you start with the boots, so the stages could be built with that in mind
3:38 The opening cutscene of Dead Rising 2 has Chuck watching a news report where the two people being interviewed are called "Average Citizens" on screen.
Funny they don't know that the Fly's from the Yammark Nightmare Effect can be destroyed by his weapon. X6 is alot of fun to speed run & all the glitches/exploits is the only reason I go back to it and the Tweaks Patcher makes it feel like a complete game.
Pretty much all of the other Nightmare Effects can be destroyed by their respective weapons. In Heatnix's stage, there can be those metal block from Shark Player's effect that can be used to help access the higher area they used Zero to get to. That said, you will need his weapon to erase the blocks.
The "Limited" parts are not one-time uses, it's just that they can only be used once per stage, with the Life Recover part being a third Sub Tank, highly recommend not using it until needed in Gate Stage 2. But with all the talk about donuts this part, I have a strange craving for some now...
I like how the stage tells you you're going to fight Blaze Heatnix but when you get the the end of the stage his name is just ??? until X identified him.
really love the reploids in blizzard wolfang(alongside liking his backstory the most.:3) reference capcom characters.(sam is referencing samanosuke from onimusha which i find very funny johnny missed with his love for the series.)
X6 is a trial in frustration before you wanna quit or throw the controller...sometimes both! X7...it's a matter of if you aren't bored enough put it down or just get exasperated with the sluggish mechanics. 😂
Fun fact, it was brought up in this video that Dante's original name was going to be Tony Redgrave. In Bayonetta, Luka's father's name was Antonio Redgrave. Lil' interesting trivia.
@@louievelayo4100 I looked up if it was the same development studio, turns out no. X6 was made by Capcom studio 2 where battle network was studio 3 which also made the legends games
One problem I have with the parts you get from the hostages is that the health and energy upgrades only go to the one who rescues them. So if you're playing as X, he gets the boosts, and if you're Zero, he gets them. Same goes for the Energy Hearts. It's because of that when I play X5 or X8 (or if I go insane enough to play X6 and X7) I try to stick with just one character (usually X) so that character gets all of the upgrades.
None of the purple fire before the boss is instant kill. It just hurts a crap-ton to where you need upgraded health to survive it. Clement pointed that out later in his run.
3:49 I want out of Donut Hell! *I WANT OUT OF DONUT HELL!* 4:01 *IT BEGINS!* 7:18 No, it WILL end to the door to the next stinkin' donut and when it does, you better hope to any God you're praying to right now, real or otherwise, your accuracy in hitting any cores, especially the ones at the bottom, is good! But if you're Zero, unless you have the Rekkoha(Zero's Hyper Combo attack in MvC 3. Infinite, wut?), *GOD HELP YOU!* 12:05 Oh I wonder that myself John!
The Limited-Parts are not one-use per save file. They're 1 use per stage, meaning you get them back whenever you exit or beat a boss. You mentioned the metal block nightmare effect can be broken with Metal Shark's weapon, in fact most nightmare effects can be countered using the weapon of the respective maverick, meaning the Yanmar Option can get rid of the annoying bugs in Heatnix's stage faster than the buster. 28:30 Fun fact about this ladder, if Zero double jumps all the way up using the Jumper part without climbing it, he just dies. If you want to know what it takes to beat these levels without getting hit, I would recommend checking out Kevvl on youtube, years ago they actually beat every maverick stage without getting hit, buster only too. It's very apparent how badly designed these stages are when you see all the hoops he had to jump through.
A fun trick you can do with zero is using shield Sheldon's weapons to land a lot more hits with the z saber than you normally would. It also works with X's blade armor when you use the charge shot when holding up.
It's not just Zero that can have an easy time with those doughnuts (apparently they're called ouroboros) X with metal shark players charged weapon can easily destroy them as well. Edit: nvm you already mentioned it.

Growing up I just thought of the ouroboros as a challenging stage mechanic, but as I grew older I realized kid me just had a fuck ton more time and perseverance to grind a single level losing tons of lives in the process.
I feel like the guys are deliberately ignoring the blade armor's ability to dash in any direction, including up. I also like how Matt keeps overlooking the last missing reploid at the very bottom of the list for one of the stages.
Ah, the Nightmare Donut, the worst kind of donuts. Not even any frosting or glaze, just painful metal damage. 🍩 I forget when I learned this but for years I didn't realize the Nightmare Donut is actually a robot snake. Well... not that anyone will care at this point. An Ouroboros eh? Huh... even before Resident Evil 5 and Megaman ZX Advent, Capcom was thinking of these snakes. Go figure. 🤔
It's always weird to me that it's considered part of the Nightmare because it's a mandatory part of Blaze Heatnix's stage and not something you trigger by going to a certain level first.
@Yojimbo16 I mean, the Nightmare gimmick isn't limited to just stage effects, given how we have a small number of nightmare bosses and enemies. With the donut snake being one of said enemies. All of which spawned from the "Nightmare Phenomenon" or rather the reality altering Nightmare Virus, too. It's just in a physical metal form. That's how I see it, so maybe that's how it counts. 🤔
@@MegaMario051 I played X6 when I was younger (Never beat anything past the tutorial level) so I thought that the Nightmare was just the stage effects and the enemies that possess hostages. I don't remember if I went to every stage trying to beat it but I remember getting the darkness nightmare in Rainy and Yammark's stages.
@Yojimbo16 Well, nothing wrong with that. People don't like X6 that much anyway, so I don't think you're missing much besides the story, if that matters to you, that is. Ugh... the darkness effect. I only got through those parts by both carefully approaching them and memorizing what's what in those stages. In another world, X6 could have had a better reputation if the devs had more time to spend working on the game overall. Sadly, that's not the case. Cough cough Nightmare Effects poorly executed cough cough.
@@MegaMario051 I remember playing and wanting to know if Zero was truly alive after I saw the opening and how disappointed I was years later when I saw the "I hid myself while I tried to repair myself" scene. I also played X5 but I only managed to beat Grizzly Slash
Oh no. Its this stage. One thing we all can agree, the doughnut mini boss we keep seeing is the worst part and has no redeem quality about it. I once heard a theory of "how to fix" from friends saying that instead each battle your supposed to do a certain amount of damage and then it leaves.
Storm Eagle is damn near impossible without the dash boots, because if he chains the Storm Tornado with his wind attack, you're totally falling off the platform for a cheap instant kill.
bleeze hotwings. i like how blizzard wolffang only has wolf hostages in his stage. 21:55 and then there's me, who frequently checks out speedruns because the tech and exploits you see can genuinely make the games you like even more fun, mainly by allowing you to cut down on the less fun parts of the game, or exploit something that makes you more powerful, stuff like that. this game came out on november 29, dmc1 came out on august 23, definitely enough time for the localizers to insert a reference (or trading notes like what johnny suggested).
Watching Matt play reminds me how much of a knowledge check X6 is. It's a much easier game if you know what your doing but unforgiving/annoying if you go in blind. I never fight donuts without storm eagle. Also limited chips are one use per game over/stage. Overdrive gives zero a quad buster which I find fun to mess around with. The knowledge check for X7 is that the weapon values don't make any sense and that Volt tornado(bazooka for axl) shreds bosses and enemies if they stand in it.
Maybe the Dante name is from Dante's Inferno because you were in a fire level. Also looking back I barely use the bosses weapon weakness against the 8 mavericks I mostly used them fight back against the nightmare stage effects which is a pain.
4:30 If I've learned anything from Wha Happun? it's that things like that tend to be a result of the programmers being unable to work that kind of stuff in because they didn't have time to figure out how. Bad games are the result of bad development, not bad designers. Assuming that was the original idea, anyway.
That whole thing about Dante & DMC in relation to this game could've been solved by checking the months of both games lol, X6 came out 3 months AFTER DMC1. XD
When it comes to Blaze Heatnix Stage, I have never had trouble with the first, second, third, and fifth donut battles, but the fourth one, on the other, is so cheap you have autoscrolling, nightmare viruses that can blindside you, two green orbs right on Death's Door (Unless you have Zero's Rekoha), I have wasted so many hours on this section alone as Zero without Infinity Mijinion's Weapon, I absolutely hate it
Firstly: Fuck this game Secondly: I do not understand how people can say this game is easier with Zero Thirdly: Fuck this game Fourthly: This game's soundtrack is amazing.
It amazes me that we’re four parts in, all of them fairly lengthy, and we’re still not even close to done with the “this mechanic/system sucks” discussions because like absolutely nothing in this game works right or is fun and it just keeps finding new and unique ways to continually fuck up
Yeah... There's Ryu and Chun(-li) for Street Fighter, Nina for Breath of Fire(which the Ryu can reference as well), Arthur for John's favorite torture, Ghosts and Goblins, Cody(Travers, not Rhodes) and Guy for Final Fight, Leon for Resident Evil, and others I can't think of right now because this game has fried my brain and I just woke up!
hard same johnny i miss the archie megaman comics so much/preferred them over sonic's as i loved how much they added.(the "prolapsed donut" is actually supposed to be the ouroboros symbol which is a snake eating itself but looks really bad in the pre-rendered ps1 style also seriously screw that thing even in rookie hunter mode.) super adventure rockman's tbh outside the stuff in zero/knowledge humanity's long gone by legends the darkest the megaman series got as alongside roll dying there's wily acting callous to helicopter pilots dying(that was one of the reasons inafune disowned the game as he would've put parachute's on them escaping.) from an emp the main villain ra moon(archie got really dark with him attacking wily enough to cause blood invading his mind/implied his ancestor was influenced into doing human sacrifices by it & wanting to create the emp strong enough to make peoples brains melt and people who survived killing each other using his technology.) causes,hard man getting dissolved in acid after already being defeated,shadowman getting destroyed so hard he doesn't get rebuilt referencing him being made by aliens(love the archie comics combined it all.) & if you fail the final boss not only does megaman get blasted ra moon zap's the robots including even dr. wily to death.(wouldn't be surprised if this alone was what made it get disowned as it's actually rather unsettling seeing that happen to dr. wily for as much as he gets caught in his wily machine explosions.) with how wrecked to hell the world of x gets don't blame the humans for just wanting to go up to space for safety when it's safe enough for space travel again.(and the themes work for x8 compared to how just there for no reason they are in evangelion outside the angels.)
The donuts are actually snakes biting their own tails That hallway also doesn't go infinitely it stops when it gets to the top I get that you guys don't like the game but have you like...played it? I'd keep complaining but let's be real this shit don't matter lol

I once heard a theory of "how to fix" from friends saying that instead each battle your supposed to do a certain amount of damage and then it leaves.
Storm Eagle is damn near impossible without the dash boots, because if he chains the Storm Tornado with his wind attack, you're totally falling off the platform for a cheap instant kill.
bleeze hotwings.
i like how blizzard wolffang only has wolf hostages in his stage.
21:55 and then there's me, who frequently checks out speedruns because the tech and exploits you see can genuinely make the games you like even more fun, mainly by allowing you to cut down on the less fun parts of the game, or exploit something that makes you more powerful, stuff like that.
this game came out on november 29, dmc1 came out on august 23, definitely enough time for the localizers to insert a reference (or trading notes like what johnny suggested).
At least that purple fire is really nice to look at
probably gonna be the only good thing I can really say about this game
Watching Matt play reminds me how much of a knowledge check X6 is. It's a much easier game if you know what your doing but unforgiving/annoying if you go in blind. I never fight donuts without storm eagle. Also limited chips are one use per game over/stage. Overdrive gives zero a quad buster which I find fun to mess around with.
The knowledge check for X7 is that the weapon values don't make any sense and that Volt tornado(bazooka for axl) shreds bosses and enemies if they stand in it.
2:51 Considering that it was written by Ian Flynn, it's cancelled
Reminder this game has a hard mode... You gotta be a goddamn masochist to play that lol
2:04 Actually I’m pretty sure the entire planet dies if you get a game over
So like yeah holy shit
It's this Big Donut x4 or the Nightmare Snake as it's called.
The one bright spot of this game is its soundtrack oh my god sex on the ears!!!
3:59 happy national donut day
Maybe the Dante name is from Dante's Inferno because you were in a fire level.
Also looking back I barely use the bosses weapon weakness against the 8 mavericks I mostly used them fight back against the nightmare stage effects which is a pain.
Just to clarify I don't mean using buster only on bosses I just use Commander Yammark weapon a lot. I may like X6 but fuck doing a buster only run.
4:30 If I've learned anything from Wha Happun? it's that things like that tend to be a result of the programmers being unable to work that kind of stuff in because they didn't have time to figure out how. Bad games are the result of bad development, not bad designers. Assuming that was the original idea, anyway.
SGBs title for part 4. Who's touching the thermostat? It was Elliot & Greg. Because they just want to ruin Johnny's life for amusement 😂😂😂😂😂.
3:22 Why not equip the Limited Parts there?
Franklin Delano Donut would not show to help X with that mini boss.
That whole thing about Dante & DMC in relation to this game could've been solved by checking the months of both games lol, X6 came out 3 months AFTER DMC1. XD
By the way the "donuts" from blaze heatnix are actually ouroboros but the preredered graphics makes it really hard to notice
You can destroy the bugs with Yammar option lol
When it comes to Blaze Heatnix Stage, I have never had trouble with the first, second, third, and fifth donut battles, but the fourth one, on the other, is so cheap you have autoscrolling, nightmare viruses that can blindside you, two green orbs right on Death's Door (Unless you have Zero's Rekoha), I have wasted so many hours on this section alone as Zero without Infinity Mijinion's Weapon, I absolutely hate it
Weird how the worst level has the best music
oh blaze heatnix now thats content 🔥🍿
I think you can kill the Yammar Nightmare Effect bugs with the Yammar Option?
if you want to know how strong is the Blade Armor, check it agains the donnuts, youll see a world of difference, tough do use the Blade Buster
I mean x4 mentions humans and day of sigma I think has humans in the background
Firstly: Fuck this game
Secondly: I do not understand how people can say this game is easier with Zero
Thirdly: Fuck this game
Fourthly: This game's soundtrack is amazing.
It amazes me that we’re four parts in, all of them fairly lengthy, and we’re still not even close to done with the “this mechanic/system sucks” discussions because like absolutely nothing in this game works right or is fun and it just keeps finding new and unique ways to continually fuck up
I summond Ultra fire chicken high fire king garunix
"MAGMA SCREEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!~"
Blaze heatnix combo
Grape soda lava.
5 piece prolapsed donuts
And the boss as the main course
Terrible meal
Blaze Heatnix would be the spicy chicken sandwich
I remember dyamno from a fan rpg game. Does anyone know what I am talking about?
Bleaze Hatenix!
Another part of Elliot's favorite game
Btw, what was Matt about to say about the name references before Eliot interrupted him? I almost wanna say Capcom characters, but idk.
Yeah...
There's Ryu and Chun(-li) for Street Fighter, Nina for Breath of Fire(which the Ryu can reference as well), Arthur for John's favorite torture, Ghosts and Goblins, Cody(Travers, not Rhodes) and Guy for Final Fight, Leon for Resident Evil, and others I can't think of right now because this game has fried my brain and I just woke up!
all I have to say is... DONANUT!!!!!!
And the Megaman comic ripped of The Megamix manga
hard same johnny i miss the archie megaman comics so much/preferred them over sonic's as i loved how much they added.(the "prolapsed donut" is actually supposed to be the ouroboros symbol which is a snake eating itself but looks really bad in the pre-rendered ps1 style also seriously screw that thing even in rookie hunter mode.)
super adventure rockman's tbh outside the stuff in zero/knowledge humanity's long gone by legends the darkest the megaman series got as alongside roll dying there's wily acting callous to helicopter pilots dying(that was one of the reasons inafune disowned the game as he would've put parachute's on them escaping.) from an emp the main villain ra moon(archie got really dark with him attacking wily enough to cause blood invading his mind/implied his ancestor was influenced into doing human sacrifices by it & wanting to create the emp strong enough to make peoples brains melt and people who survived killing each other using his technology.) causes,hard man getting dissolved in acid after already being defeated,shadowman getting destroyed so hard he doesn't get rebuilt referencing him being made by aliens(love the archie comics combined it all.) & if you fail the final boss not only does megaman get blasted ra moon zap's the robots including even dr. wily to death.(wouldn't be surprised if this alone was what made it get disowned as it's actually rather unsettling seeing that happen to dr. wily for as much as he gets caught in his wily machine explosions.)
with how wrecked to hell the world of x gets don't blame the humans for just wanting to go up to space for safety when it's safe enough for space travel again.(and the themes work for x8 compared to how just there for no reason they are in evangelion outside the angels.)
The donuts are actually snakes biting their own tails
That hallway also doesn't go infinitely it stops when it gets to the top
I get that you guys don't like the game but have you like...played it?
I'd keep complaining but let's be real this shit don't matter lol
Surprised nobody's commented on it yet, but they misspelled "overwrite" when saving
The game has "overwright".
Oh Jesus- *ARRRRRGH!*
*Pointing at Squidward*
WHO TOUCHED ME THERMOSTAAAAAAT?!?!?!
Blaze Heatnix level is so bad but the music is so good but the absolutely worst level is yet to come and boy i can't wait to see how that plays
1:47 Mega Man what?
I honestly can’t imagine anyone not picking Chill penguin first unless there is a cheat code that unlocks the dash right away
Edit: turns out there is a code for that 5382 8566 2656
"This Game Blows"- Scott the Woz... I think
