Mega Man X6 Boss Rush - Minimalist/No Damage (Part II)
1Part II of my X6 boss rush.
Individual Boss Comments:
Commander Yammark - A lot of people seem to know Yammark as a joke battle with two hellish attacks. In this video I demonstrate how to make him into a joke battle with no hellish attacks. Yammark flurry of bullets is not hard at all to slip by even if he seems like he's sending a ridiculous, Gradius-style amount of em' at you. Yammark's two desperation attacks can be made into complete jokes with proper manipulation of his health, and even without that adjusting your timing to dodge the six dragonfly variations isn't that much more difficult.
Shield Sheldon - Shield Sheldon possess a total of one threatening attack, the guard shell. The rest of his shit is predictable as usual, but this attack demands the full extent of this rant. Sheldon's hitbox upon using the move takes up nearly a third of the entire damn screen, and the way he tails you makes getting caught by the aforementioned massive hitbox a very prominent threat. The downside is that he leaves himself open to fire for so long that he won't usually live that long after the fact, although I let him live so he can perform his other desperation attack. It's not very dangerous.
Ground Scaravich - Capcom has a bit habit of sticking pathetic bosses that took them 20 minutes to design at the end of horrifically difficult stages. Scaravich, for being the climax to the hardest stage in the game, is an utter disappointment. Maybe he might catch you if you're half-asleep, and have three layers of leather tied to your face? Nah.
Infinity Mijinion - This is it. This is the fucking showstopper. If you thought Shadow Devil and Split Mushroom were benchmarks of difficulty, then here's Mjinion to give us a BIG wake-up call. This boss would be difficult on Easy mode and Level 1, with the fucking Ultimate Armor. Under the full restrictions of this challenge, all hell breaks loose in this fight.
It's almost hard to describe the sheer brutality of this fight. I show off various ways to somewhat circumvent the sheer amount of shit that Mijinion can fill the screen with, but it's all a god damn placebo. Mijinion can, at any time and at his full discretion, completely fuck you over with whatever he wants to use, whether it be the bubbles, either variation of the ray arrow, or the godforsaken spread shot. There's no mercy or breathing room, and this battle is pretty much solely focused on getting lucky.
After so many boss rushes, and having played so many Mega Man games countless times, I think I can confidently say that Infinity Mijinion holds the crown as the hardest boss I've ever fought.
Nightmare Mother - While I believe that Mijinion is harder, the Nightmare Mother puts up a CLOSE fight and is a contender for hardest boss in the game. This is an overly long fight with a high necessity for good luck. I already ranted about most aspects of the fight in my X6 review, but it's never enough is it? The Mother was actually the boss that started this whole jazz, before whole boss rushes it was supposed to be a single Nightmare Mother video, but that was before I committed to making this an even bigger pain in the ass by setting every boss at level 4. This makes any breathing room you might have had in the fight at level 3 and below practically null. The blue orbs traveling faster makes dodging it so much harder, and many of the Mother's attack combinations define pain and luck dependency. The lightning orb attack speaks for itself and I can't even express how thankful I am to Zeus that she doesn't use it in this successful run. Not to mention, even with the Hyper Dash and Jumper parts, which are necessary for this fight, the Mother's movement is absolutely unrelenting, and you'll barely outrace her even with optimal movement.
