Correction a Man-O-War isn't a jellyfish it's actually a Physaliidae, meaning it's basically a colony of smaller organisms that work together for survival. Seriously they're individual organisms but can't survive outside of the colony and they each make up different systems and aspects of the colony that make it act like one large organism, for example certain groups of organisms work on digestion, certain groups on hunting, ect ect... It's actually a fascinating species. Also it's stings reportedly are insanely painful, and in some cases can even kill people.
More specifically, their tendrils are typically just over 30 feet, but have been documented to reach up to 165 feet long (just 15 feet shy of the bootlace worm, the world's longest animal species).
@@josephconover5270 Probably not... but, that's a good question. And, if we DO find Dr. Wawey, does that mean we'll also find the Wadar Woom? Or maybe we'll find Dr. Wiley or Dr. Willy first... hm... hard to say.
They really should've put Command Mission on Legacy 2. It would've made it a good purchase as opposed to something to buy just to complete the collection.
Mega Man Xtreme should have been on Vol 1 (since it uses bosses from X1-X3) and Maverick Hunter X should have been on one of these collections, as well.
In my opinion, X1,2,3 and Xtreme 1 and 2 should have been all in the first collection and X4,5,6,7,8 and Command Mission should have been in the second.
I didn’t even know reploids had boobies. what are they? giant metal bolts on their chest? Actually soft sacks? Do they carry oil in them instead of milk? I need these answered dammit!
In all honesty, they’re probably purely aesthetic, just there to make them look more human (in this case, like human females specifically). They serve about as much purpose as Rock’s/Roll’s/Zero’s/Axl’s hair. (X probably has hair under his helmet too, not that we ever see it.)
@@joegreen3802 Because god forbid they hold resentment toward reploids who started one war, then ANOTHER war which ended up wiping out most of the human population and reploids as well.
X8 was always a personal favorite of mine. I dunno, maybe seeing Mega Man X in 3D Graphics and having it not suck was such an amazing concept to me back in the day. I admit today that it has some problems, namely the Rare Metals you gotta find using Pallet as your Navigator. She doesn't tell you about the Rare Metals you need to use Crystal Wall to grab, so to this day I'm still wondering how folks are supposed to pick them up without a guide. However I think that the addition of a New Game Plus is what still has me come back to this game every couple years or so to this day.
Personally, X8 is the game that has the most replayability of the X collection. As you have the most hunters to play and a lot of abilities to mix up the action.
“What am I fighting for?!” That had me rolling! 🤣 Love the review of X8 - didn’t play it, myself, but always good to see a breakdown of what it is. Keep on keeping, man! 🤙🏻
The timing for that Zero shout was so perfect. Glad I had my cup of coffee on the table, otherwise I'd be typing the common cliche inbetween wet napkins about now... Btw, the new navigators clearly were a counterpart for the main protagonist. What with Alia being level-headed and all about work like X, Layer was more mature (takes a mature lady to be able to pull an underboob as gracefully as she does) and somber like Zero, while Palette was all cheery and easy-going kinda like Axl. It was a nice detail and it got me hoping this further character development would result in them playing a bigger role in a future game, maybe? Too bad the fact you can unlock the navigators to basically play a pallete-swap, and at an atrocious expensive cost no less, makes you think if any plan for future navigators spinoff were cut short and just added into the padding pile...
@@dr6559 He never really said it I dont think he more or less has strongly given off the impression that among all the Mega Man franchises, he loves the X series the most.

One of the most underrated X games IMO. This game makes up alot from X6 & X7 and it is pretty dang on fun. It's not my personal favorite X game. But it's in my top 5. I hope everyone gets this game an shot.

Can’t believe is been 16 years since X8 now. After Mega Man 9 and 10 going back to the original look, I was really hoping they’d do an X9 with the art style of the first 3 X games. Maybe someday.
Watched the entire marathon and never have I been interested in mega man, but you my good sir have made me so interested that I got the x collection, going to play through them and rewatch the marathon to see how I feel about it. Thank you Johnny
X8 is definitely my favorite in the series. Each level is unique with its own gimmick, and all of them are SO GOOD! The metals are a great addition as well, being super satisfying to collect. Also, the Neutral Armor is definitely one of, if not, THE BEST armor in the series. The R&D lab is awesome for upgrades that feel useful, the special weapons are solid, the Maverick boss patterns are actually competent, the duo character mechanic is awesome, and Lumine is an AWESOME final boss (not to mention his music is just beautiful). I know I gushed a lot about this game, but I can't help it. It's one of my favorite platformers that tends to be overlooked.
Metal Farming is a lot easier in the American PS2 version, as there's a glitch that gets you max metals. Make sure you have a Life Tank and make sure it's not full. Have less then 50 metals, I know it works if you have 40. Buy the Life Charge, and your metal total should go to 0. Go into any stage and grab a metal, your counter should count up all the way to 999999. I'm guessing someone didn't add a check to see if you actually had enough metals to buy the Life Charge. I did this, and it makes buying everything real easy. Unfortunately, they fixed this in the Japanese PS2 release and PC version. This is why it cannot be done in the Legacy Collection, as the version of X8 in there is based on the PC release.
I've only played X8 once, but after playing X6 and seeing X7, this felt like a good refresh for the series. I appreciate the changes it made while going back to what works. It was the last X game, but not because it was a bad game.
I find it simultaneously hilarious and absolutely infuriating that X Challenge Volume 1 and Volume 2 are EXACTLY the same thing. They could have very easily fixed this, with X being the playable character in volume 1 and Zero for volume 2, or just not lie in calling them "volumes" in the first place.
I mean, both games have a space colony crashing into Earth and have a giant laser cannon whose name starts with an E, so I can see why Johnny mixed up the names.
For clarification, lumine was using sigma as a pawn to create sigma clones, then wait for the maverick hunters to destroy sigma so that he could commence the Jakob project.
My favorite part of X8 was how they made Axel unique. I loved the idea of him getting different weapons entirely. The Shotgun was my personal favorite.
People always make statements about never having clicked on a video so fast, but I'm personally waiting for Johnny to post a diss track directed at Nintendo for their online service
Mega Man X8 was truly a return to form, but it was too little, too late, as the overflow of Mega Man games in the early-mid 2000's lead to an eventual burnout for the franchise.
The whole thing with the New Generation Reploids was that they could go Maverick at will. Using the DNA of Sigma they are pretty much immune to the Sigma/Zero/whatthefuckitgetscallednow Virus along with having a very sturdy body as the opening cutscene shows. Also the music is great, I love the Japanese opening Wild Fang so much.
Exactly. Infected Reploids rebel because the virus makes them crazy with a couple of exceptions (Storm Eagle by subjugation, Vile due to faulty circuits), while NGR simply agree with Sigma without anything in between. Sigma claiming they were his children was only a half-right truth. NGR planned to carry his ideals on evolution... but that doesn't mean they needed him around for that. He was just a convenience to them.
I like this game, but I always found the villains reasoning to be pretty stupid. Bad guy: was sigma REALLY crazy? Me:YES!!! We know for a fact he was infected!!! And SO!!! ARE!!! YOU!!!
The Maverick stigma was explored deeper in Megaman Zero and ZX and it turns out that Mavericks don't have to be infected to be considered Mavericks they just have to not obey humans or intentionally/unintentionally hurt/kill humans so if a reploid accidentally hit/killed a human they would be considered a Maverick and murdered on the spot, Sigma made a case for this fact in a couple of game although he does indeed get corrupted by a Virus so he's an extreme example of a Maverick one which actually tries his hardest to murder humans and their protectors, however most other "mavericks" are just Reploids that: disobeyed their human masters, hurt/killed a human in self defense or accidentally hurt/killed a human. In the Megaman Zero games you are actively fighting against humans because of the amount of atrocities they committed or forced their reploid subordinates to commit under the guise of maverick hunting. And in ZX we see a conclusion of Zero's sacrifice with everyone human and reploid being essentially the same with humans getting cybernetic implants at birth to match Reploids and Reploids being more human by their bodies being built in such a way that they age,grow and die like humans.(The humans getting cybernetic implants however is unclear how it works since it only started getting explored the second game but the series was cancelled before the third game)
Brian Rodriguez I am aware of this. But as you said, sigma was in fact infected. So he isn't exactly the best example lumine could use for his ritousness
I mean, all the next-gen reploids are Sigma's "children", they have a part of Sigma in them, and depending on how you interpret things, they *are* Sigma. So it's basically someone asking "am I really crazy though?" which... yeah, generally insane people don't see themselves as being insane, so there's that :p
Kisaru1000 True but the story keeps going on about how the new reploids can choose to go maveric. Meanwhile they have the code of the big daddy of all maverics in them. So how can they even choose. It is especially obvious that all that nonsense about choosing to go maveric is nonsense considering so many of them who happened to be part sigma "chose" to go maveric
Well that's mostly just the series fault with "Maverick" being... kind of a poorly defined term really? Sometimes it's explicit to be a virus that's doing this to reploids, sometimes it's an error in their programing, sometimes they just do things that other people don't like and thus get labeled a Maverick because that. It's kinda weird.
I sorta wonder if/when they finally make X9, are they actually going to follow up on any of the dangling plot-things left in X8? You got that ominous warning from Lumine because of the loads of next-gen reploids still running around, with an end message talking about how they are *still* being produced despite what happened. And of course there's the whole "what did Lumine do to Axl" cliffhanger that was teased with his ending after the credits, and his Ultimate Armor being Lumine's colors. Or... will X9 just ignore all this because it's been 15 years and they'll just do something different? Will Axl even be playable outside of DLC? Hell, will *Zero* even be playable outside of DLC? I don't know. At the very least I just hope X9 isn't some kind of nostalgia cashgrab with 16bit/32bit graphics.
I feel like very few people know about that cliffhanger ending and didn't even bother finishing the game with Axl. I really do hope they continue where X8 left off since 2004.
I feel like they'll definitely add in Zero, it's been so long and there are so many Zero fans. But they could be like Sonic team where despite Shadow being the 2nd most popular character behind Sonic they haven't given him a proper lead role in 10+ years.
Starscream91 I sure hope so. Proto Man and Bass weren’t playable in Mega Man 11 though, so I have a reason to be skeptical. Although Proto Man and Bass were always considered extras and were never core parts of the gameplay unlike Zero and Axl, so I do think it’s fairly likely that both will come back in a potential X9.
(3:15-3:18) Meaningless religious references that were only added because they thought they would look cool? I see.....just like Evangelion. *HEYOOOOOOO*
I just have to say, you're my favorite reviewer, man (been a long time sub). Seeing X8 (among my top 3 favorite X games) and all the other games get the fair review they deserve gets an A+ in my book. While I know the marathon isn't technically over, excellent job. While I still feel X6 is overhated by many (though maybe that's because I do no damage runs on my channel and shit just don't bother me anymore), I can respect your review of it way more than the others because there was nothing wrong you said there or in any of these X reviews. Keep up the outstanding work, dude.
The Legacy Collections should have been 1-5 and 6-8+Command Mission between the two. Also, rookie hunter mode is unique to each game, and it tells you what they are, I think in the manual
These videos are what gave me the nudge to get into X1, X4, and X8. And because of this marathon; I have games I am absolutely ecstatic to have in my library.
"[Zero 's] been playable for years, and he doesn't get a spot here." *Laughs in Megaman Zero/ZX Collection* Yeah, not the same thing I know, but maybe it was subtle foreshadowing to his collection.
TheNCSmaster or is it? Why does everyone ignore Zero and ZX series, which are actually good games, whereas X series was basically garbage after the first game.
I'll be completely honest: I jive to the opening theme every time I watch a new ScmJ video. I'd totally dance to a full-length version. Also, I love how well balanced, funny, and informative your videos are. Keep it up!
Lumine did betray Sigma. While the Next-Gen Reploids do have his data, they're not affected by the virus or able to be mind-controlled, and Lumine decided he wanted to be in charge. Remember who his namesake is.
I actually loved this video. The comedy was great for it and it was simple. It just shows why you're my favorite video game reviewer RUclipsr. I just enjoyed it too much
This whole X marathon is what I've been waiting on for a long time, much appreciated for your insight on the games! For the most part our opinions are quite similar for all of them (though I really love X3, I loved the exploration and how it felt like a huge game compared to the others). Also, whenever you get the time to check it out, you should review Timespinner! I know you love your Metroidvania style games, and I feel this game is right up your alley! Just came out a few days ago and I can say I personally enjoy it alot so far!
to fair Maverick Hunter X is remake of X1 so I can see why that not part of the collection. As for Command Mission maybe cause they wanted keep keep X-X-collection to just action-platform and adding turn-base RPG would be out of place
X8 is my favorite out of them all due to the vast variety. It was a huge step in the right direction and I'm glad it finally got re-released for everyone to enjoy. I hope X9 doesn't take leaps backwards though. Keep innovating and expanding the series, not take away from it

It's the Enigma. You've been playing too much SA2 Johhny...
Everyone makes mistakes.
I mean, both games have a space colony crashing into Earth and have a giant laser cannon whose name starts with an E, so I can see why Johnny mixed up the names.
For clarification, lumine was using sigma as a pawn to create sigma clones, then wait for the maverick hunters to destroy sigma so that he could commence the Jakob project.

"WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOOR!"
I will never be able to hear anything else and I Fucking love it, im dying over here.
My favorite part of X8 was how they made Axel unique. I loved the idea of him getting different weapons entirely. The Shotgun was my personal favorite.
People always make statements about never having clicked on a video so fast, but I'm personally waiting for Johnny to post a diss track directed at Nintendo for their online service
9:44 Shine get! "What am I fighting foooooooooooooooooooooooooor!?!"
Mega Man X8 was truly a return to form, but it was too little, too late, as the overflow of Mega Man games in the early-mid 2000's lead to an eventual burnout for the franchise.
Oh boy! Time for a game that doesn't suck!
The whole thing with the New Generation Reploids was that they could go Maverick at will. Using the DNA of Sigma they are pretty much immune to the Sigma/Zero/whatthefuckitgetscallednow Virus along with having a very sturdy body as the opening cutscene shows. Also the music is great, I love the Japanese opening Wild Fang so much.
Exactly. Infected Reploids rebel because the virus makes them crazy with a couple of exceptions (Storm Eagle by subjugation, Vile due to faulty circuits), while NGR simply agree with Sigma without anything in between.
Sigma claiming they were his children was only a half-right truth. NGR planned to carry his ideals on evolution... but that doesn't mean they needed him around for that. He was just a convenience to them.
I like this game, but I always found the villains reasoning to be pretty stupid.
Bad guy: was sigma REALLY crazy?
Me:YES!!! We know for a fact he was infected!!! And SO!!! ARE!!! YOU!!!
The Maverick stigma was explored deeper in Megaman Zero and ZX and it turns out that Mavericks don't have to be infected to be considered Mavericks they just have to not obey humans or intentionally/unintentionally hurt/kill humans so if a reploid accidentally hit/killed a human they would be considered a Maverick and murdered on the spot, Sigma made a case for this fact in a couple of game although he does indeed get corrupted by a Virus so he's an extreme example of a Maverick one which actually tries his hardest to murder humans and their protectors, however most other "mavericks" are just Reploids that: disobeyed their human masters, hurt/killed a human in self defense or accidentally hurt/killed a human.
In the Megaman Zero games you are actively fighting against humans because of the amount of atrocities they committed or forced their reploid subordinates to commit under the guise of maverick hunting.
And in ZX we see a conclusion of Zero's sacrifice with everyone human and reploid being essentially the same with humans getting cybernetic implants at birth to match Reploids and Reploids being more human by their bodies being built in such a way that they age,grow and die like humans.(The humans getting cybernetic implants however is unclear how it works since it only started getting explored the second game but the series was cancelled before the third game)

I am aware of this.
But as you said, sigma was in fact infected. So he isn't exactly the best example lumine could use for his ritousness
I mean, all the next-gen reploids are Sigma's "children", they have a part of Sigma in them, and depending on how you interpret things, they *are* Sigma. So it's basically someone asking "am I really crazy though?" which... yeah, generally insane people don't see themselves as being insane, so there's that :p

True but the story keeps going on about how the new reploids can choose to go maveric.
Meanwhile they have the code of the big daddy of all maverics in them. So how can they even choose.
It is especially obvious that all that nonsense about choosing to go maveric is nonsense considering so many of them who happened to be part sigma "chose" to go maveric
Well that's mostly just the series fault with "Maverick" being... kind of a poorly defined term really? Sometimes it's explicit to be a virus that's doing this to reploids, sometimes it's an error in their programing, sometimes they just do things that other people don't like and thus get labeled a Maverick because that. It's kinda weird.
"When Mega Man X9 happens..." *cries in 2023 with no new X game*
Saw the notification, jaw dropped like Sigma's in the cutscenes here.
I sorta wonder if/when they finally make X9, are they actually going to follow up on any of the dangling plot-things left in X8? You got that ominous warning from Lumine because of the loads of next-gen reploids still running around, with an end message talking about how they are *still* being produced despite what happened. And of course there's the whole "what did Lumine do to Axl" cliffhanger that was teased with his ending after the credits, and his Ultimate Armor being Lumine's colors. Or... will X9 just ignore all this because it's been 15 years and they'll just do something different? Will Axl even be playable outside of DLC? Hell, will *Zero* even be playable outside of DLC? I don't know. At the very least I just hope X9 isn't some kind of nostalgia cashgrab with 16bit/32bit graphics.
I feel like very few people know about that cliffhanger ending and didn't even bother finishing the game with Axl. I really do hope they continue where X8 left off since 2004.
I feel like they'll definitely add in Zero, it's been so long and there are so many Zero fans. But they could be like Sonic team where despite Shadow being the 2nd most popular character behind Sonic they haven't given him a proper lead role in 10+ years.
I hope they do go 2D. But not 16 bit, maybe high quality sprites akin to the Zero series.
I think if Mega Man 11 is anything to go by, X9 will probably be an independent story but with everyone playable
Starscream91 I sure hope so. Proto Man and Bass weren’t playable in Mega Man 11 though, so I have a reason to be skeptical. Although Proto Man and Bass were always considered extras and were never core parts of the gameplay unlike Zero and Axl, so I do think it’s fairly likely that both will come back in a potential X9.
Ah a Johnny Vs video. Just what I needed to end my weekend.
19:17 X: I forgot to take my E pill last night.
Stop what I was doing to watch when my notification went up!
Brave Lady Lyn
Lady Lyndis, how are you able to access the internet?
(3:15-3:18) Meaningless religious references that were only added because they thought they would look cool? I see.....just like Evangelion. *HEYOOOOOOO*
Evangelion had a reason. You just weren't paying attention lol
I just have to say, you're my favorite reviewer, man (been a long time sub). Seeing X8 (among my top 3 favorite X games) and all the other games get the fair review they deserve gets an A+ in my book. While I know the marathon isn't technically over, excellent job. While I still feel X6 is overhated by many (though maybe that's because I do no damage runs on my channel and shit just don't bother me anymore), I can respect your review of it way more than the others because there was nothing wrong you said there or in any of these X reviews. Keep up the outstanding work, dude.
Biggest fan of your runs man! Also a big fan of somecallmejohnny, salute i also think X6 is overhated and X8 is awsome!
Man this video really felt like the classic Johnny vs vids from back in the day, I loved it!
Before we know it, X and Zero are gonna be collecting Blue Coins while fighting shadow X and Zero
It’s Cutman, guys! It’s...Its Cutman! Yeah...Cutman....please drop the hammer, John
The Legacy Collections should have been 1-5 and 6-8+Command Mission between the two. Also, rookie hunter mode is unique to each game, and it tells you what they are, I think in the manual
These videos are what gave me the nudge to get into X1, X4, and X8. And because of this marathon; I have games I am absolutely ecstatic to have in my library.
I kinda took it that Lumine evolved past Sigma to become the 'new' big bad.
Also, I kinda like that Axl's special weapons are guns.
Yeah. I didn't like how Johnny wrote it off as bad writing.
At the same time, doesn't the Mother Elf kill Sigma?
IS LUMINE THE MOTHER ELF?
Guess Johnny found the other 6 emeralds.
3:21 it was pretty easy to see that Lumine was a bad _girl._
Lumine is a guy. Just because he's voiced by women, doesn't mean he is one. Also he's got no titties.
@@teoq8917 That's the joke.
9:43
wHaT aM i FiGhTiNg FoOoOoOoOoOoR?!
“WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOR?”
If you got all seven Chaos Emeralds, I would think you'd either become Super Johnny or wish to get your hair back.
I love the “Johnny Vs” series 💯
Why didn't u do the 999999 metals trick that clement talked about too unlock the other girls?
A review, for my birthday? You’re too kind! (And a lucky coincidence!)
Alkali Galactic
Happy birthday dude! Hope you’ve had a nice day so far :)
I just noticed that X never smiled in any of the Megaman X boxarts until X8 where X is happy to blow your face off with a charged shot
5:32 let's make a meme out of this
oh! guys! i think i've left my charger back home.
Me: oh shit I forgot to save my game file before closing it
dude my day instantly gets like a million times better everytime johnny uploads
love you man ❤
"[Zero 's] been playable for years, and he doesn't get a spot here."
*Laughs in Megaman Zero/ZX Collection*
Yeah, not the same thing I know, but maybe it was subtle foreshadowing to his collection.
9:44 I laughed way harder then I should
I can't believe this marathon is almost over already
TheNCSmaster or is it? Why does everyone ignore Zero and ZX series, which are actually good games, whereas X series was basically garbage after the first game.
I'll be completely honest: I jive to the opening theme every time I watch a new ScmJ video. I'd totally dance to a full-length version.
Also, I love how well balanced, funny, and informative your videos are. Keep it up!
Lumine did betray Sigma. While the Next-Gen Reploids do have his data, they're not affected by the virus or able to be mind-controlled, and Lumine decided he wanted to be in charge. Remember who his namesake is.
I actually loved this video. The comedy was great for it and it was simple. It just shows why you're my favorite video game reviewer RUclipsr. I just enjoyed it too much
Johnny: With all seven chaos emeralds I cloud simply snap my fingers and SEGA will give us a good 3D Sonic game, I call that... Mercy
This whole X marathon is what I've been waiting on for a long time, much appreciated for your insight on the games! For the most part our opinions are quite similar for all of them (though I really love X3, I loved the exploration and how it felt like a huge game compared to the others).
Also, whenever you get the time to check it out, you should review Timespinner! I know you love your Metroidvania style games, and I feel this game is right up your alley! Just came out a few days ago and I can say I personally enjoy it alot so far!
It's a shame Maverick Hunter X and Command Mission were not part of the collection.
to fair Maverick Hunter X is remake of X1 so I can see why that not part of the collection. As for Command Mission maybe cause they wanted keep keep X-X-collection to just action-platform and adding turn-base RPG would be out of place
It wasn't until the Zero and ZX series that Capcom remembered that humans even exist in this world.
Did you know you can fight cutman?
Next year when Mega Man turns 35, there should be an X9.
X8 is my favorite out of them all due to the vast variety. It was a huge step in the right direction and I'm glad it finally got re-released for everyone to enjoy. I hope X9 doesn't take leaps backwards though. Keep innovating and expanding the series, not take away from it
😠Yeah, Like The Classic 9 Did.😆
@@setsers1 9 wasnt innovative but was extremely polished tho
And we all know how 8 ended up after they tried too much
I’ve actually been playing the crap out of X8 recently due to quarantine, it’s super fun and I’m addicted!
@@CountOfMonteCristo_ It is very addictive lol. My go-to team is usually Zero and Axl. And there's quite a bit of unlockables too. Best of luck on hard mode XD.
What is the theme used at the end of the video? Does anyone know, please?
