Let's Play Mega Man X7 Part 4
The Maverick up next is Ride Boarski at the Central Circuit stage. This is a Ride Chaser bike level,and you have to collect 20 bombs within 3 minutes or they'll all blow up. Take the time to go through the stage at least once to rescue all the Reploids first,while also nabbing the Heart Tank and Weapon Tank. Then you can do it over to get the bombs. Some of the bombs/reploids are in tricky spots,so it may take a few tries to get 'em all. Ride Boarski is weak to Circle Blaze,but it doesn't do much damage. He's also weak to Zero's Bakuenjin technique,but he has a limited amount of times he can use it. Boarski will spend most of his time trying to ram you into the laser barriers. He can also create rotating lasers in the middle of the stage,and send out little wheel things to attack you. YOU PUNK! Afterwards,moved on to the Cyber Field to face Snipe Anteator. I suggest bringing X and Axl for this one. Axl can use his Copy Shot to turn into the samurai reploids. In this Form,Axl can pass through the orange barriers in the level,needed to reach some of the Reploids. In the 2nd half of the stage is where it gets a big confusing. Jumping upwards on the orange platforms shifts you to the bottom side of the platform,leading you to new areas. It's just a little disorientating trying to figure out where you need to go,and trying to rescue more Reploids along the way. The Dr.Light Capsule with X's Head Part of the Glide Armor can be found just before the boss. Snipe Anteator's weakness is Moving Wheel/Zankourin,but most of the time you won't be able to hit him with these. He tends to circle around the cylinder far out of your reach,making it difficult to damage him. However,this is why I said to bring X. His fully charged X-Buster can pass through the cylinder and damage him even when he's far away! Use this to your advantage to take him down quickly,before he can really make your life miserable with his various attacks.
