That's pretty much the only reason X6 is only my second favorite X game. If it had been playtested more and had a better translation it probably would have been one of the best games of all time. Yes I like X6, it's a lot like X3 where it's hard at the start, but by the end you're on a power trip and it's really satisfying

Something that really bugs me about the Legacy Collection is that they went and changed the Maverick names in X5 back to their Japanese names (or at least localized versions of them), and replaced the intro and ending songs in this game to original compositions, yet they refused to update this game's script. Or any of the games' scripts for that matter, but I'm getting ahead of myself.

I could have forgiven most of the technical issues if the writing team had seized the incredible opportunities they had with this story as long as they were undoing the whole X5 finale thing. They could have created an even more satisfying finale by tying up the biggest loose end of X5... Dr. Wily/Isoc. He should have been the final boss and the mastermind of the Nightmare Phenomena, using Gate for his own purposes. If they still decided to bring back Zero, have him actually explain that Wily brought him back in a desperate attempt to continue his X5 plan, but Zero broke free before he could control him. Use this blatant undoing of a previous plot point to add more story. This way, no matter who you choose, the final battle would be the most anticipated of the series. Either Zero faces off with his creator and fights against the destiny that was planned for him... or X swears to finally put an end to the century long struggle between Dr. Light and Dr. Wily, and to finally bring down the man who can ultimately be blamed for literally everything in the series. Maybe even an awesome cutscene shot from Wily's point of view of X standing up to him with a shadow of Mega Man behind him or something like that. But no... just Sigma. Again.

Heck it even could've worked as a tie to the Original Plotline of the Zero Series, Willy comes back and once again threatens peace in the world, already devasted by the Eurasia and Nightmare incidents, X rises as a Protector and Leader of Neo Arcadia, the last Stronghold of Humans and Reploids alike, But Willy has always been tricky, with the Sigma virus taking over the minds of Reploids ,the Nightmares mutating over their bodies and both being able to manifest phisically in bizarre shapes and distortions in reality (insert lore of cyber elves as a counter measure here, elf/nightmare wars may or not apply), it also gives Wily terrifying infiltration capabities, nobody can tell for sure who may be infected untill whole cities turn into more Dopplertowns devastaded by the awakening of sleeper agents, this paranoia gets even to X, who gradually loses hope and empathy and instils scorched earth tactics and a tyranicall goverment in fear of Willy's shadow, 100 years later, Zero awakens and the events of the original plot of Z1 happen, however, the death of X and a good chunk of Neo Arcadia's upper ecchelons open the gates for Willy, Z2 may or not happen with Elpizo as a Sleeper agent, Z3 happens but with willy undercovered again, Z4 may happen or maybe in Z3 we get straight to the Final battle of Creation vs Creator

Somebody else went into this already, but I'm reasonably certain I've pinned down the Nightmare effect's behavior. When a stage is highlighted in red, that means it was affected specifically by the stage you were just in. The same effect will then stay there, regardless of whether it's red or not, until you play another stage that changes it. For example if you play Shield Sheldon's level, Blizzard Wolfang will have the X and Zero clones in it until you go to Blaze Heatnix, at which point it changes to the fire rain.

This is seriously one of the best video game reviews I've seen on KZread ever. You talked about pretty much everything I could think of to talk about without wasting any time, gave some seriously good and necessary commentary on everything you brought up, and did so with some of the best sense of comedy and comedic timing I've had the pleasure to laugh at. I think it even beats out both J's Reviews' and Retropolis Zone's reviews. Such a great video my guy. I want to bring up a few points I noted throughout the review, starting with a little quip you made about no-armor X at 22:26, and I can confirm after beating the game just today playing through the game to 100% completion as no-armor X on extreme difficulty, NEVER try to play this game as no-armor X unless you are going so mad that it's liberating. Some of the most inconsequential bits of gameplay normally just became an absolute trial to play through and, in a weird twist of fate, a couple of the more annoying bits during normal gameplay feel like a complete joke by comparison to all the other trite you now have to deal with. And because you're now probably thinking, "What about the impossible jump?" I can now absolutely confirm that it is actually totally possible to make that jump with no exploits or extra tricks of any kind as no-armor X. IT'S JUST NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. You NEED to have Hyper Dash equipped and make sure not to have Jumper equipped, then make a near PIXEL-PERFECT jump off of the VERY bottom of the ledge you have to jump from. You have to slide down to the absolute lowest possible height without falling off that you can get away with, then start mashing the jump button in preparation for landing on the other side (so that you don't slip off and fall the moment you connect because, assuming you do connect, you'll be near the lowest possible height on the other wall as well). I also wanted to bring up an interesting observation I've made about the nightmare system over the years, because I think I've actually managed to come to some sort of proper understanding on how it works. Basically, you can separate the different Nightmare Phenomena into two different categories that I like to call "Permanent" and "Temporary." Permanent nightmare phenomena mean exactly what you think; The moment they are activated, they stay as part of their affected stage forever. Examples include the Nightmare Bugs in the Laser Institute and Magma Area, and the Nightmare Rain in the Amazon Area and Central Museum. Temporary nightmare phenomena mean what the game states and shows the phenomena to mean, activating based on the last stage visited. Examples include the Nightmare Fire in the North Pole Area and the Nightmare Iron in the Magma Area. I haven't had a chance to thoroughly test all of this, this is just how it seems to roughly function based on my many playthroughs of X6 up to this point, and I'd love it if someone with more in-depth knowledge of the game could go in and try to officially record how it all exactly works on a programming level. And by the way, this form of Sigma does have an official name as demonstrated in XLC's Hunter Medals menu. It's "Hell Sigma." Finally, I wanted to say that, for a time, Mega Man X6 was my definitive least favorite/most hated video game I had ever played in my life. I played it for my first time during the summer of 2016 on the PS2 X Collection and hated it to absolutely no end. If there exists an objective way to judge a video game's quality, I would elect Mega Man X6 for the title of "Objective Worst Video Game Ever Made." But honestly, after some 10 odd playthroughs, I actually kind of enjoy Mega Man X6. Don't have me mistaken here, I'm not saying that it's good, quite the opposite, but I am saying that it is my greatest guilty pleasure video game, as I recognize that it's a complete piece of garbage that I have a good time playing. I think I like it as "the hard one," so to speak. This game has no good reason to exist, and I have no good reason to know it as well as I do.

Do a vid about X6 : )

A couple notes for X6 for anyone looking to play, or anyone who just doesn't know about these: The Guard Shell glitch works with X! If it overlaps with the Blade armor's charge shot or charge saber, or the Ultimate armor's charge shot, it also causes damage stacking! However, unlike with Zero, it doesn't work on bosses. The parts screen is bugged! If you select and deselect a part on the same frame, you equip that part without taking up a part slot, so as long as you have at least one slot, you can equip all the parts you want. You'll know you've done it correctly if the ding sound is louder than normal and the slot is still green. You can still only equip one limited part, though. If you're having trouble with Mijinion, go in as UNARMORED X with Quick Charge and Buster plus. The fully charged shot will destroy the bubbles in one hit. This combo also one-shots the Nightmare viruses, even on hard mode. X's charged Ray Arrow does charged weakness damage (8 damage) to the main 8 bosses, except Mijinion, since all the bosses are immune to their own weapons. Quick Charge is the strongest part in the game for X and makes the game a ton easier. It's held by the reploid next to the portal to the Dynamo area in Satan's Museum. Using Ground Scaravich's weapon (Sentsuizan) cancels the Ensuizan glitch

X6 is fascinating to me because it uses the exact same engine and gameplay as X4, one of my favorite games of all time, and yet this is one of the most frustrating bullshit games I have ever played. I feel like it really goes to show the importance of level design in platformers, as that can be what makes or breaks it.

Yes, the game had great ideas and a cool aesthetic, but thanks to the rushed development the most important things to make a Megaman X game work: Level Design and Balance are all over the place Some fans defend X6 saying that some problems comes from using the same engine from X4, but the thing is X4 and even X5, had a good enough Level Design that it didn't showed those problems in the first place

@TsukasaRui71684

Volt Kraken (Squid Adler) had BS lvl design at the start but outside of that... its good

A big problem with the Falcon Armor in this game is how it was balanced. In X5, the narrow range of the charge shot was almost never a problem because most of the enemies had huge hurtboxes. In X6, many if not most of the enemies, namely the DNA viruses, have tiny hurtboxes, so the Falcon Armor’s piercing charge shot misses far more often than it should. Next, removing flight may have made sense, but that air dash is ridiculously slow and is completely overshadowed by the Blade Armor’s Mach Dash. If I were to rebalance/redesign the game, I’d actually do the following: 1. Make the Falcon Armor charge shot three arrows in a spread pattern. Alia said she had enabled the armor to charge special weapons so why not upgrade the buster too? 2. Increase the speed of the air dash and let X dash in any of the 8 directions or even hover for half a second after a dash jump to cancel momentum. This additional mobility option would give the Falcon Armor some much needed pros over the Blade Armor’s Mach Dash. 3. For lore reasons, I’d remove Zero altogether, and instead make X’s Blade Armor play more like Zero, complete with the unique special moves. The Mach Dash can stay as is. There is no charging anything with this armor, just good old fashioned saber swinging plus maybe the uncharged X Buster. The Blade Armor would actually be more true to its name this way. 4. Shadow Armor can remain as is.

49:36 I like that the music is a remix of X1 and X2 first form sigma

Something that's very noticeable about X6 is that it's irritating by design. It's really hard to not take damage because the game straight up VOMITS enemies and projectiles at you in every level. I think they knew this during development because even though there's a lot of shit on the screen all the time, they don't do much damage. So the result of this is that most enemies aren't very threatening, they're just annoying, like a mosquito or a buzzing fly.

This game came out when I was 11. I LOVED that awesome intro. I was kinda sad when the original opening was removed in future MMX collections.

48:49 makes me cackle like a madman for some reason "Wakey wakey, it's time for schoo!" Maybe it's the fact that your voice cracks up that cracked me up.

just so you know… when high max coming down simply crouch or dash through on the ground then he wont be able to touch you anyways🙈 and this works in both two high max fight

You know? "Metal Head Techromancer" Is actually a pretty sick name for Player.

i guess im the only one actively love this game then, the controls are great, we have a stronger motivation to rescue reploids because their lives are at the edge this time (and very rewarding if you rescued them), the level design is pushing it's limits to see how extreme a 2d side scroller action game can be, it's true there are some questionable / cheap design in specific area, but overall it has one of the best x armor in the entire X series, and Zero's saber combat just awesome, with the extreme level design it is a test to the player and it also shows if a boss character wants you die, they will do everything to make you die as hard as possible before face to face. I want to mention this, it seems a lots people doesnt really care about why Sigma is extremely weak in this game? This could be a bug / oversight from the developers ofcourse but does anyone noticed that Sigma isnt fully resurrected.. or more like isnt fully recovered, in a story stand point this is Sigma's weakest point and his consciousness is extremely unstable so this could be a reason why sigma is so easy in x6. Still it's a great review, x6 is the introduction for me to the megaman x series back then, maybe it's just me but, i still think it is one of the best megaman x games to this day.

Hey Trav nice video I recently streamed this game for a friend myself and it was interesting hearing your personal experiences with the game. I am curios if there is a VOD for the race you showed at around 44:55 though?

I hold X6 in my heart, despite all of its blemishes, due to being my first ever Mega Man X game. But that being said, I pretty much agree with everything you said. Those Nightmare Effects were utter garbage, that almost impossible Shadow Armor jump, so many things that really drove me to near madness, but I still like parts of the game that really stuck with me. Seeing all of the different designs for the Rescuable Reploids was nice, seeing a new face from stage to stage (Even if one is just a recolored enemy, lol), the amazing music, spritework and the Shadow Armor remains one of my favorite armor designs. Here's hoping that the MMX6 Tweaks Project makes it a great game that it felt like it should've been. Anywho, great review, Trav! ^_^

had no idea this project existed. gonna check it out now

Oddly enough, I had a surprising amount fun on my recent playthrough of this game. Once you realize you can use yourself to lure most nightmare viruses away from reploids for safe killing by only getting the former on the screen, and use multiple save slots just in case, that part is actually not too bad. Especially considering you can just rescue a few reploids, burn your lives, exit, save in an older slot, check your list, and then go back for more, meaning you don’t have to rescue them all consecutively (granted it takes debatably longer). And after you get certain parts, like the one allowing for all shots to be automatically charged by default, plus Yammar Option, you can just freaking rampage through many areas. I was charging through nightmare viruses recklessly to get the reploids because the things die almost immediately to the overcharged, mystical power of Dragonflies. I haven’t done the Lab Stages yet which may be the killer for me, but the main game only really pissed me off in the Recycle Lab and Turtloid’s bonus areas. (the latter because of the excessive random spikes and cores in the dark, and the former because of the stupid Nightmare Press gimmick and one single, evilly placed Reploid and nightmare viruse at the end of the secret area). If they redid some of the nightmare effects, changed a few areas like the F-You spikes/gap in the lab, fixed a few enemies placements, and dubbed it with a proper translation, It’d be a pretty solid game imo. Also if you use shadow armor and Ultimate Buster you automatically become God because you can tank damage like mad, the giga attack shreds bosses like a laser cheese grater, the automatically charged blade decimates anything without proper invincibility frames, like the Cables in Mijinion’s stage, and you can harvest Dynamo for souls because evidently he has a proclivity to drop them when he gets cut in a certain, specific state. Virtually nothing gives me more of an easy power trip.

I actually love so much about X6: The story, the backgrounds and art design, the armors and especially the music, but, as you said, the actual game part of the game just drags it down, and it's one of the few pre-GBA era Megaman games I haven't finished, but this video has inspired me to give it another shot sometime soon. Am I going to use ridiculous things you mentioned in this video to break the game? Yes, yes I am.

46:13 I used to do that jump with speedster+jumper without using the charge shot/giga attack, but it is a pain of a jump. You need to be in pretty much the last pixel of the starting wall and you barely make it to the end. I always were with the Shadow Armor because it made a lot easier the previous segment

This is exactly how I felt playing it when I was younger on the original x collection for the ps2. Then I started to see people mentioning how bad it was and went back to play it, life was better when I thought it was just part of the game how unfair it was.

A very good review. I myself just recently FINALLY finished X6 for the first time on the MMX Legacy Collection 2 after putting off Gate's Laboratory 2 for almost a YEAR (believe it or not, it wasn't the bullshit jump that did it, as I got the Hyperdash and Jumper parts combination to pull the Shadow Armor jump off surprisingly without the Giga Attack exploit, it was because Gate kicked my ass so hard when I got past it that it killed my motivation to try it again). Funnily, I did it yesterday, and I didn't find your review until shortly afterwards. I can still remember why I wanted to play X6 in the first place. After I completed X4, I was turned off of playing X5 because the RNG elements really didn't click with what I liked from the Mega Man series, and I was intrigued enough after seeing reviews of X6 to see if the difficulty (both fake and legitimate) was really all that. I even went so far as to look up guides to get an idea of what I would need to do (mostly figuring out where the Reploids with the most valuable parts were), and then I jumped in. I admit, I loved the game first starting out. I liked the presentation, didn't really mind the Japanese voice acting, and the intro stage was pretty cool. The translation was definitely a sticking point, because I understand both "proper English" and "broken English" enough to get what they were saying and I could see a decent, even great story underneath it. I liked Gate as a villain, and the Investigators had surprisingly intriguing backstories, and I loved how Alia was actually given some development and backstory alongside implications of being a fighter herself since she admits she was behind destroying at least two of them (guess they were foreshadowing her playability as a bonus character in X8). I accepted and even relished the difficulty, seeing it as something I could push past, and running through the stages for the first time gave me a hell of a rush as I tried to find and save every Reploid I could. I even unlocked Zero as soon as possible so I could get the full experience, and my fun only increased from there as I kicked High Max's ass and started farming Dynamo for more souls to upgrade both of them. I think it was only around reaching Gate's Laboratory that I started to really reach burnout with the game's difficulty and its flaws. Replaying levels searching for Reploids and collectibles alongside frantically trying to save them from Nightmare Viruses were a big contributing factor as the novelty of the stages wore off and I started growing annoyed with the gimmicks, the areas and enemies that were total bullshit, and the Nightmare Phenomenon. It was Gate Stage 2 that it hit its peak and I was more concerned with just pushing through it so I wouldn't have to do it again than relishing a challenge. And yet, despite it all, I admit I still like the game on some level, though perhaps that's more because I see what it could be than what it is. I would never recommend it to anyone save those who want to have a challenging/frustrating experience or intended to play every X game anyways. It makes me feel only disappointment rather than hatred. And perhaps this is controversial, while I'm not happy with how the game turned out, I am happy it exists at all, if only for the fact that the Zero and ZX series, my two favorites Mega Man sub-series, wouldn't exist as they do without X6. Considering I wasn't a fan of X5's endings and what their implications would have been for the Zero series (particularly X going full-on dictator Zero would have to kill in the original plans), I don't really have personal vitriol for what it did to the chronology of the series, only that it was a rushed mess that should have had more time given to it so the blow would have hurt less.

And I've come full circle now. This was the first video I saw of yours and I loved it so much, I had to support you on Patreon then go back into your archives and see everything else.

Pre-emptively I just want to say... I have always hated X6. In fact, back in the early 00's when I expressed that opinion and why, I was met mostly with anger and mockery. But here we are... here we are in 2021 and I am finally validated. The truth of this game is getting around. Addendum: I should have typed this in as well. I LOVE the soundtrack and visuals of X6. In fact, the reason I think X6 is worse than X7 is because 6 had so much wasted potential. X7 is just bad and stupid, X6 is DEPRESSING. A tragedy of waste. I want to take the best of X5 and X6 and string them into one long epic game. Alas, I am no game dev.

I forgot no note, more specifically the fact that the whole thing can be turned on off and adjusted you don't just have to go with the specific sleep you can take the tweaks you need and leave the ones you don't. For example making parts available earlier on and removing the useless reploids and stuff like that.

I loved the tech you showed off like hitting yourself with the Ice Block or the Fire Blade Flying.

I just realized that X6 could've been the perfect opportunity to introduce Axl as this "Mysterious Hunter". Just have Gate be the "Professor" Red and his force are always talking about and it would fit. 😎

You’re wrong on a little detail about running through Gate’s Fortress with the Shadow Armour. Provided you’re high enough on the platform you jump off of, it’s possible to make it with the speedster and hyper dash parts, but without the giga attack. Though I agree it’s still unreasonably difficult.

“It’s the final countdown!!” Damn I thought I was the only one who noticed that 😂. Love your point of view for this. I loved this more than X4 for some nostalgic stupid reason but yeah it’s broken and half-baked. An f*** Blaze Heatnix as per usual!

When I first played, I never got the shadow armor. The game is near impossible without it for casual players and it cemented my sheer hate for this game. Music was fine but everything else was crap.

Do you plan on doing a full review of Mighty Number 9? A lot of people have already talked about it to death, but would like to hear your thoughts on it.

X6 clearly had a great blueprint to build from X5, my personal favorite of the whole MM franchise despite the amount of flaws it has. X6 has a great plot, great gameplay, amazing musics, makes Alia more than just Navi Bot and make all 8 "Investigators" have a history with her,... if it was in the oven for around 4 months or more, this game could have been a masterpiece, but history isn't like that. I hate this game with a passion because it could have been great, some hate X7 more I get it but the 1st impression of X7 is just dogsht, X6 has an outstanding impression but nothing lives up to that 1st 5 minutes again. Despite that, I still respect X6, it caused the Zero Story to be rewritten which was even more powerful than the original script.

the front cover is cool 4:10

I know this is a few months out from the review, but I should point the nightmare effects *do not* dissapear from one level, just because you triggered nightmare effects for different levels. The red on each stage? It's just for the stages that will get affected by the level you were just in, it doesn't mean that they are the only stages with a nightmare effect in them. To use Rainy Turtloid as an example, you might've had a few stages in between Mijinion and Turtloid, but the darkness effect still remained because you went into Mijinion at some point in your playthrough. The only way to cancel that out? Go to a stage that gives a different nightmare effect to the one you want to go into (in this case, Shield Sheldon) and *then* the darkness will be replaced. That's what the game means when it says "red = *changes*," because it means what levels have changed since you were last on the choose level screen, not what stages are currently are under the nightmare effect. It's just that "changes" is a very vague way of wording it and makes X6 more frustrating and confusing than it really should be.

I grew up with Battle Network as my childhood games and i never really could get into MegaMan X but i have literally been binging every single of these videos and am excited to see X7 since i remember getting it at GameStop 10+ years ago and the disk didn't work past the first level and I always wanted to see more....
