That's a glitch we call the Neon Switch, which allows us to save our second Neon Shot while doing other things, like using different weapons without losing the Neon
It was going so well and then it just... didn't. Friggin' Violen. That's where it all started. Overall, still a great run, but it could have been so amazing.
I'm fairly sure the reason for that is either he uses the dash before he shoots or he is charging the buster long enough to do more damage but too little to change the animation, whichever it is he explains it at the start of the run.
As awesome as video games have become over the years, I'll always believe the pinnacle of home gaming is the Neo Geo. If these games were released on the NG, the graphics would still pop.
Can't be;live he didn't use the sub tank for Violin? It would have been refilled time and time again before he needed to use it again. Also, what is the world record time currently?
My whole life and childhood i deemed impossible to get the buster upgrade without getting the air dash... ive tried countless times to just dash off the wall and this dude just does it np seriously wth man! At least now i know its possible XD

Run starts at 1:15.
Picking up with all mm x-zx gdq's and I'm glad you guys added a time card for no fuss gameplay
This speedrun is probably in memory of the best maverick hunter. RIP Green Biker Dude.

*"I think there's like eight bad guys and you got to go kill them."*
LOLL
And then you've got to go fight sigma
Rinse and repeat 8 times!
Megaman X and Zero speedruns are just the best
They are fun as hell
12:05 I never saw X enter in a room in this pose! 23 years and still learning more stuff in this game.

Great run! Always nice to see Caleb on the couch too. Wish he was running something this year.
Great run by Darren! A lot of impressive execution on this run.
Will never not watch MMX runs @ GDQ. So fun every single time.
1:26 noooooo...
I never knew that it was possible to get the X-Buster upgrade without any power ups. Awesome!
Me neither. I spent almost forty minutes trying for it with the grapple hook from wire sponge.
@@davidhernandez6593 most people are…
if that's your standard…
Had same experience with neon jump
The Violen deaths cost about ~2:06, plus elevator skip cost 0:18 - the time would've been a 41:34 without those mishaps. Either way, great run!
I imagine using the sub tank would be risky because he wouldn't be able to fill it by the time he gets to the last fight.
One thing to note is that performing this live in front of a crowd can really change the way you perform. Good job Darrenville great as always.
Serges phase 1, completely insane

CNC Cocoa Violen is the worst tbh
So... that means X3 Buster-only next year then?
Gracie x5 buster only
apparently not
Is it just me, or was mmx2 made easier in terms of bosses? Am I seeing single buster shots doing two bars of damage to some early bosses? :o
I'm fairly sure the reason for that is either he uses the dash before he shoots or he is charging the buster long enough to do more damage but too little to change the animation, whichever it is he explains it at the start of the run.
That's just what they're referring to as "dash lemons" where uncharged buster does 2 damage while dashing.
Nice info, you guys, thanks! Hell, next time I play this Ill use that trick. ;P
This is the case for the whole original X trilogy

hype hype hype hype hype, thanks GDQ staff and everyone involved.

I was 25 when I started to watch GDQ. Now I'm 30
That doesn't add up.
Caleb on the couch with the commentary 👌
Wow that surges fight buster only was amazing
Some bosses seem incredible difficult in Buster Only Mode. Great play though
I never knew the levels were that short
I'm not getting anything done today
My boy Caleb :)
Love the way the runner goes "AAAA" when he gets killed by violen, he kinda brings me back to jontron.
27:56 - HOLY SHIT!!!!!!
YOOOOO, my mans cultured. He got that tricot merch on him
"slow bois" lol
barkely did the chaos dunk, not mj
Kirrlaos Blackwind justice in memory
RIP Green Biker Dude

@16:44 SIC
As a person that has played Megaman X2 a lot, that skip messed my brain!
Transmission Fluid is red.
Great run

3:14 can someone tell me how they did that no joke
Walrus_prime hype! Big day!
Caleb huge af
superoprah dem quartersquats paying off
Did they run these old games on their respective console? or did they just emulated them through PC?
All GDQ runs are done on original hardware.
OMG!! You took the part from Wheelgator without leg part and the Wire Sponge gun. Hoooowwww?!
It's a precise jump from the right wall to the ledge that you would usually grab onto. It's pretty tricky, but possible.
woooow 27:56

GOGOGO

"When he says Buster only, he means Buster only." Well no shit...
has anyone ever noticed that caleb talks like buffalo bill
WTF is a Hetimarl?

Yikes!
