Let's Play Mega Man X7 Part 5
Coming up on the last of the Maverick stages. Up next is Wind Crowrang at the Air Forces level. This is one of the worst stages in the game probably. You have to use the various planes in the area to move forward,while trying not to fall to your death below. Any time you die,you have to see the opening cutscene again and start from the beginning. The Heart Tank and a Reploid can be found on one of the red planes that start collapsing as you board it. Good chance you'll die trying to get the items. When you eventually exit to a new area,make sure you stay to the right on the giant ship and take out the cannons first. If you make the Reploid spawn on the left,the cannons will kill him before you can reach him. Defeat the cannons and the weird miniboss that appears to enter the ship. This part is much easier. Simply follow the path,taking out enemies and saving Reploids along the way. You can find the Dr.Light capsule with X's Body Glide Armor Part close to the end of the level at a fork in the path. When attacking Wind Crowrang,stick to X and his charged X-Buster when he's in the background. Then you can hit him with his weakness,Sniper Missile/Hieijin,when he gets close. The final maverick is Vanishing Gungaroo at the Tunnel Base. You get to use Ride Armors in this level,and you can even fight the boss with them if they survive the whole stage. Nothing too special in this stage really...you know the drill by now. Vanishing Gungaroo starts off in his own Ride Armor,a giant kangaroo. Destroy it and you'll face him for real. He's weak to Wind Cutter/Souenbu with Zero's V-Hanger weapon. He moves around quite a lot,and can launch flying kicks and even flaming punches at you. Keep up the assault and he'll eventually go down. Final stages coming up soon!
