- "From Zero to Hero"
After a string of unexpected delays, the time for the final showdown has arrived at last! I'll be honest. I was a bit pressed for time on this one, and I decided to do these fights separately. That kind of takes away a bit of the luster on this one, but with the way things go, I think it works out well in the end.
We didn't rescue Zero on the main file, now did we? I hope you're ready to take on one of the toughest fights in this game then... pending you don't figure out the key to his pattern early on. A recurring theme with these final fights is to keep ahead of your enemy, but not by so much that you run right into their attacks!
Whether you've saved Zero or not, Sigma will be waiting for you at the end. In a normal playthrough, the second half of this one is rather trivial. When trying not to get hit, that phase can be a nightmare as it only gets harder the farther it goes along. Can I keep the precision up long enough to claim my ultimate victory? Well...

"Take care of yourself Zero. I don't have time to put you back together again!"
WOW that was savage
And strange, because if you fight Zero, it means you didn't get his parts!
@@ismaelrobertoquirogapadill1233 Was it an original mistake, or an error in translation?
X had to of been a little pissed that his best friend had just attacked him so I was glad that he said that to Zero.
@@fmthebaron Damn seeing X being petty is funny asf ngl
What hapoens if you onpy have some of Zero's parts
I like how Sigma uses his weakens from X1 against you :)
Spark Mandrill would be proud
I never thinked about this before kkkkkk THANKS
Neo Sigma: If X can beat me with Electric Spark, then so can I!
YEAH
X: Wait, did he just use Electric Spark on ME!??!?!?!?!??
@@elizabethayala647 I was like huh maybe Crystal Snail weapon will work since it effective against Overdrive ostrich..... NOPE.
If you’re wondering why the last stage of Sigma’s second Fortress has the exact same opening sequence of Magna Centipede’s stage, let me explain.
Magna Centipede had a pretty important role in the plans of the X-Hunters and Sigma. He wasn’t just a random Maverick who Sigma got a hold of and made into a loyal soldier, but the actual cornerstone of Sigma’s plans (At the time of X2). Centipede has the unique ability to infect enemies with a computer virus, and when paired with the Central Computer that he’s found in and the Maverick virus, can transmit that virus all over the world, making more Reploids go Maverick, making more soldiers for Sigma’s cause. Of course, X does indeed defeat Centipede and shuts down the computer transmitting the virus. That’s why Sigma has the same layout as Centipede’s opening stage, because should Centipede fall, Sigma can still transmit the virus without skipping a beat.
Further food for thought is why there’s searchlights all over both stages. It looks as though it’s to keep X out, but a more startling thought is it was designed to keep Centipede in, should he wrestle free from Sigma’s control and try to escape. Quite a grim fate for the once-Maverick Hunter.
the last paragraph. source: trust me
More like they ran out of space on an SNES cartridge lol
@@joystickcasaa8148 or ran out time
@@duckboy5725 We all know he was theorizing. It's not that he treated that last paragraph as fact.
This spot on awesome im such a fan. Your incredible bro. We are megamans finest. And when they make megaman its gonna be epic and megaman prosper. #megaman fanatic
Green biker dude will die again in Megaman X Legacy collection. Green biker dude will always be remembered. RIP green biker dude.
you gotta love that sigma uses the very weapon that he was weak against in X1, E spark, as his strongest attack against you. That is poetic symmetry.
Yet he doesn't continue that trend with subsequent installments. He definitely doesn't use Sonic Slicer in MMX3.
@@civilwildman
He also doesn’t use the techniques his large forms are weak to, either. So no Rolling Shield.
Also, Omega in Z3 uses Iris’s weakness Ryuenjin, to rub salt into Zero’s wound.
@@austinreed7343 Well, one of Virus Sigma's attacks is when he tries to ram you. Technically he is rolling for a second. 🤷🏽♂️
@@enavy04 To be fair, even Armored Armadillo himself doesn't use Rolling Shield.
4:23 My favorite part
Mine two bro
THERE IS ONLY ONE ZERO
My fave character
What happens if you only have some of Zero's parts
@@deoxal7947you fight him
I remember playing this when I was younger thinking that Virus Sigma was creepy. Also never ending because his life bar didn't show.
6:10 Dear Sigma, this ain't Dark Souls...
Wireframe Sigma has always creeped me out. I don't know why. He just has that perfect late 90's uncanny valley quality to him, borderline creepy, borderline hilarious.
This game was bizarre.
I know Sigma's final form is still sprite based, but it's insanely impressive to look like a 3D wireframe!
I think it might actually be 3d in the same way as StarFox
X2 and X3 had a special chip that allowed them to do wireframe graphics, so it is actually in realtime
Gotta give sigma one thing. He didn't even have a second robot body this time, was out powered and still continued to fight.
2:52 FALCON KICK!
CodyBlue1105 jajaja X'D
More like "YES"
CodyBlue1105 kkkk
kill kick
@@ArishiaOhto that's SPEED BURNER
the doctor mentioned by Sigma, is so obviously Doctor Albert Wolfgang Wily.
Neo - Devil Wolfgang?
GMmaster99 yeah, and Thomas Ludwig light, I think. Named after Thomas Edison and Beethoven. Wily is named after Albert Einstein and Mozart. They stick with the science and music themes.
If you neglect the heart tank and sub tank in Magna Centipedes stage, they do appear here.
Huh. Neat.
@@shinysamurott613 but if you are trying to get a perfect game by waiting until the final stage to get them. then u wont be able to get the shoryuken in x-hunter agile stage 3
@@kefkarothsephka7708 True. Hadn't thought of that.
@@kefkarothsephka7708 sure you can, you grab them here, get a game over and use the password then play through all the x hunter stages again, or you know, don't waste a bunch of time and get it your first time through
@@nathanhamman418 I see what you did there.
I cry a lot when i play this part of the game
ok
Imagine this fight back when there was no Internet to tell you where everything is!
It’s definitely worse than x1
I thought I was the only one
How come though
Being hit only once in a battle like this is still very impressive. I played this game for a long time, and I still found myself hitting a Sub-Tank to survive. You should still be proud, for whatever it's worth.
X: Zero do you remember me?
Zero: Jim... your name is Jim...
X: Uhh...
Zero: I have been and always shall... be your fiend.
X: ...
Zero: ...
X: Close enough!
lol, Star Trek? why?
@@Hulavuta Only a true star trek and megaman X fan would get it.... granted its a narrow crossing ven diagrahm.... BUT STILL!
@@Phoenixesper1 Lol guess that makes us the few and proud. I was just wondering if there was more to the joke than just the reference
@@Hulavuta Aside from zero dying and then ressurecting as a mindless, memory deprived zombie convinced by a semi familiar phantom that he must fight on.... Nah no resemblance.
@@Phoenixesper1 lol
8:50 my heart breaks for you. SO close. Perfect game broken up with 2 outs in the 9th kinda stuff.
Well, it was a bummer at the time, but I think the MMX3 playthrough made up for it!
Must say, it was hard enough for me to get through the Zero/Wolverine Sigma/Neo Sigma lineup without using an E tank let alone no damage.
The boss was so cheap that that one hit doesn't change a thing about anyone's skill at the game especially in the first phase which was done perfectly.
Yup I have to admit they could've done SOMETHING to make the final boss not cheap
@@Bean1227 Play mega man x6
"Channeling his inner wolverine"
It's more like channeling his inner slashman.
Or Vega from street fighter
Perhaps
From Vader to Wolverine
4:45 "Maybe so, but I still don't like you!" FUCKING SAVAGE
lol he sounds like a fifth grader trying to roast someone
Jacob M. 《ZERO'S FEMALE GENDER CONFIRMED》
And with the slow typing to increase the fun factor LOL
It wasn't savage, it was pedestrian.
i don't know, sounds like a tsundere talk to me
This is the strongest Zero ever in X1-X3.
X3 zero's saber is stronger
That megaman self explosion move is such an anime classic move
Trivia: when Zero punched the floor, he was performing the "Earth Gaizer" (A.K.A the "Earth Crush")
Well, the charged Electric Spark does make sense, when you think about it. It was his weakness in the first game. Maybe when he resurrected himself, he used a form that would specifically deal with that power.
Love Sigma’s theme in X2.
At least all comments in this video are on text and not someone flapping their gums the whole time. Thanks for that :D
Yeah that's awesome!
God damnit lol you almost ALMOST had a perfect kill till fishlips had to scream "NOPE!" XD
The Central CPU is also fitting given that Magna Centipede is the only boss that fought the Mavericks.Another fitting thing.This level has an insect as the first boss.Sigma said he would crush you.Instead,you crushed him like an insect.
Neil Bowes IRONY XD
It's weird that if you select Magna Centipede's stage, it takes you to the X-Hunter Fortress Stage 5, but only if you unlock it. Sigma takes over Magna Centipede's stage, and then makes it his own stage. I'm glad something like that does not happen anymore like X3-8, but I did not like Megaman X6-8. In my opinion, X7 is the worst, but I think most people say that X8 is the worst, but in my opinion, X8 is horrible, but not as horrible as X6-7, but I do like going into 2D to 3D in X7-8.
@@megamegasamx1014 I usually find people saying about the last in the category is the worst. X8 probably would have been my favorite if Dr. Light capsule still appeared for other characters to give to X, it was not for the limited retries, and there were checkpoints for if I ran out of lives. In the X Collection, my favorite was X5, but that was probably in a messed up version, because the hours of collision only move by one when I select a stage, but in X Legacy Collection, X4 is my favorite, because in X5, the hours of collision go down by one when I select a stage, and it even goes down while I'm in a stage.
@@megamegasamx1014 I think X7 is the worst selling Mega Man X game. I did read that people consider Megaman 8 as the worst Megaman game ever. Out of the original Megaman games, I consider Megaman 9 as the worst Megaman game ever.
@@bennel3588 But at least there was a shop for the retry chips, unlike MMZ1.
X2 is faster...until you get the stupid x-buster upgrade that stops you completely whenever you fire a double charged shot
But admit, the double shot is the best buster upgrade in the x series
It ignores I Frames, so technically it may be the best upgrade.
@@mxandeexgabriel2190 i'd say plasma shot is better, or x3 one
@@rivercrow1110lol? The x3 buster isnt very good
X2’s buster upgrade and X4’s stock charge shot are my favorites
Like how last stage In X2 is in centipede stage with the intro theme playing.
There’s actually a good reason for that.
Excellent videos! Your commentary is refreshing, informative and entertaining.
6:10 "Drop in unannounced." Now *THAT* was funny!😂
1:48 *WHOA!* I didn't know you could lock him into a pattern!
Usually I stay as far back from this dude as I can. BTW, the pebbles can refill your Giga Attack thingy!
I think its funny that Sigma uses Spark Mandrill's weapon from MMX, as that was his weakness in MMX, right down to the charged attack. Even uses the same sound effects.
He is last of the Dr. Wily's creations.
The Sigma virus is sigmas true form
@@Willydiaz3791 Fun Fact.
Sigma virus is actually the Zero virus
This is a fact, if not, correct me.
#RESPECT
@@PhoenixBassJellyBeef true.
@@Willydiaz3791 wonder why it didn’t effect x
I like that you give details about the boss. Thanks man you helped me a lot
The final stage in Mega Man X2 will have Zero facing his Black counterpart in Xjustin3009X's upcoming romhack of Mega Man X2 where you play as Zero if you collect all 3 Zero parts.
Just curious: If you didn't get the Heart Tank or Sub Tank originally in Magna Centipede's stage, are they still in this final stage?
Richard Dong Yes.
Yes
That was fun to watch. Reminds me of an old SomethingAwful Let's Play.
Good job.
Even with the only hit you took during the sigma battle you are still a beast.
Glad to see that Zero "remenbers" X after you defeat him. :P
I always loved how powerful the X-Buster is in MMX2. Hated it in MMX3
Fun fact. Speed burner actually fires an extra projectile while on the ground. The trail of flames it leaves behind have a hurtbox. Zero can slash down the main blast, but the ground trail will still hit him in the foot.
Pointless to get the good ending when the bad ending literally has the most epic Mega Man battle ever.
8:52 Tough Luck there, Old Bean..
It's incredible the computer in the background is the real enemy as it distorts everytime You hit the head
In the first four Mega Man X games, this one always felt like the 'black sheep' of Sigma fights. X1, X3, and X4 would all kill me pretty quickly until I learned their attack patterns. Died a bunch on those, but can now get through with minimal damage due to sheer repetition. This one here I can pretty much brute force my way through on the first attempt everytime because he doesn't pack a huge punch and Phase 2 has enemies that drop health. But the patterns are actually tricky and erratic that I take a frustrating amount of damage in the process. Way more than any of the other three.
You fought Zero? You must've got lazy and didn't get dem parts brah!
When I played I didn't get the parts so I could face zero.
it was for the content fool
the best part of mega manx 2 is fighting against zero =D , Mann that soundtrack is crazy and awesome
The megaman Slayer of justice that comment was from six years ago :/
The true implication of the bad ending may be something a bit dark, that the real Zero's mind wasn't actually restored and X is being fooled, hence why the fake Zero appears at the very end. But that is admittedly kind of a reach.
This thread was never picked up again. Though it’s quite possible Z3’s Omega has that mind.
Hey guys, creating a Megaman X FanGame, called Megaman Darkworld.
The game has 12 playable characters, and 3 game modes: versus mode, story mode 2 Players Co-Op and 1 player.
Soon I will be posting an updated demo of the project.
7:20 - Autocad Sigma
The battle with Zero was pretty dramatic. X was literally forced to fight against his own best friend, who died in the previous game.
"Last of the doctor's creations."
Sigma said that when referring to Zero after his defeat. Is that doctor the late Dr. Wily?
Yep. It was confirmed in X4/5
You are not a player, you are a machine. I am amazed how you managed to destroy all of them to easily.
I think they made Neo Sigma have electric attacks because his weakness in Megaman X1 was the shock attack
I like how the virus fight the back ground distorts as you hit sigma.
I never understood, your reward for saving Zero before the final stage is not being able to experience true pure unadulterated vidya KINO in the first ever X vs. Zero battle ever. It's better to not save him and fight him IMO.
But if you fix him, it saves hassle health wise before sighting Sigma, that’s for sure.
This ost when you fight Zero :O
Best ost ever
Mega Man X2 "NO DAMAGE" [14/14] [Zero / Neo Sigma / Sigma Virus] (Free Running)
Neo sigma looks cool and has a sleek design
Opinions here: Which Zero segment is "Canon"? I say the one where X successfully rebuilds Zero and he comes and stops silver Zero.
Tbh it makes more sense that he rebuilds Zero, but i think it's one of those cases were both can be canon as the future of the series never aknowledges which one actually happened
You killed the 3 ones almost perfectly, like they were simple monsters haha
I have always realized this final stage the central computer
5:59
X: Insect? I killed you!
Sigma: Mosquitos are insects, aren't they? It's hilarious that they kill more humans than me
Es mas epico ver a zero destruir al zero falso que ver a megaman matar a zero.
No lo mata tarado,solo lo aturde un poco por lo que luego recobra la memoria, destruye la máquina y se recupera de sus heridas.
Great run once again Bean, congrats.
I also always wondered why they just reused a part of Centipede's stage, probably more cutting room stuff if the X-Hunters were an indication? Plus, the way they triggered it, you can't actually revisit the rest of stage in case you didn't get particular items now could you?
Looking forward to whenever you get around to X3, personally my second favourite of the SNES games, but after seeing this playthrough, I'm a lot of fonder of X2 now than before.
Both the Sub and Heart Tanks are actually in the first half of the stage, so you can snag em even after its converted to X Hunter Final
The Sigma Variant is THE MOST DANGEROUS OFF THEM ALL!
why do they call him "megaman" ? he's X.
Because he's basically Megaman 2.0? I dunno i never understood that.
He's megaman's successor
he's mega mans younger brother
"megaman" was treated as more of a title at this point, much like "kamen rider".
Megaman, lights first creation, then X is his 2nd. And light always boasts how, "oh you're my kids, blah blah..."so by definition, X and megaman are siblings, and the cooler one, X is the originals younger brother. Similar to the wily bros, bass and zero
So the sigma virus been around since the second game...never realized that
Magna Centipede's stage is very important in MMX2. Everyone seems to meet there. It has 2 mini bosses and lots of blue prints and robot designs. I think Capcom should've used the Ending theme for the 2nd Sigma battle. It would've really been fitting.
Disagree
Virus sigma in x2 is my favorite Sigma battle music of all time. It best represents saving the world and being on the edge of doom and destruction for all of mankind 👍
So in the first mega man X game he uses a light saber and now he’s basically wolverine
Neo sigma channeling his inner wolverine since 1961
FINALLY kicked his ass yesterday. 👍
"Do you remenber me?"
And it took 9 fucking games to FINALLY finish him off for sure.
Here's a little easter egg/secret for you to try, beat the game without collecting ANY capsule power-ups (armor) for a surprise in the credits. Sub and heart tanks and optional Zero parts are allowed although, good luck getting the Wheel Gator's heart tank without the charged up Speed Burner though.
5:53 eu gosto de escutar essa música , bom pra caralho
Looks like we got a tiny spelling mistake at 3:06
5:51 best ost sigma all
still the best Zero theme imo
6:46 but who will capcom sue for copyright infringement, THEMSELVES?!
I dont think you know the concept of copyright very well
I love the text-box commentary.
X2 and great level design do NOT belong in the same sentence. I shouldn't be dying every time I make a slight mistep.
what about X3?
I never fought Zero in this part of the game...
it is because you did collect Zero's parts in the game, when you do not collect them, you face zero in the final stage.
Gotta love how losing sends you all the way back to the fucking beginning.
Once again Capcom saves the dumbest ideas for the very end of the damn games.
9:00 freaking terrified of the sounds😅
I hope I'm not only who noticed Queen' hologram head looks like Sigma Virus in 7:18.
Came back after playing Deltarune to see if someone else caught it lol, I giggled a lot seeing that hologram
Makes me wonder why Sigma hasn't made any MvsC game yet... btw, Logan called, he wants his adamantium back....
He's playable in MvC: Infinite as DLC. Not surprised people out there missed that since Infinite sort of just released and faded away.
well its been fun bean ol' boy, cant wait for you x3 play through, take it easy and have a good easter
The Zero that shoots the Capcom logo is actually red or black depending on the parts. If you get all of them it will be red, if you don't it will be black Zero.
I'll admit i watched this to hear Zero's theme,i just love it that mucj
At 7:00 it looks like the homing orb is covering x's well buster shots while sigma is trying to close his eyes
And just explodes
If it were made of glass. *all my hearts... all colored emojis, prism of rainbows, . belong to this. Great Skill, Bravo ! ... U are True Megaman. You avenged all us players that once lost to him.. in your own way. /m/ Respect.
Thanks!
Sigmas nickname should be Ligma
Zero burned sigma by saying you should have studied the blueprints closer
Did anyone realize when x said “do you remember me?” It actually said “do you remenber me?”
F
Great playing. Loved the captions, haha
7:01 sigma attacking X's Balls!?
Yes
I thought in the final stage the sigma virus is scripted to 100% catch you for the final moments. The fact that you can avoid it is just another proof of how masterful MMX gameplay is.
Aw so close man. I would have been cursing if I had gotten a perfect run and got hit right at the end.
