Mega Man X7 - Any% for the First Time (4/14/2025)
1And now for the category that most speedrunners might think to pick up with this game! For those unaware, I teased during my Castlevania Legends live showing at Summer Games Done Quick 2024 that I'd learn and do a speedrun of Mega Man X7. And this is where the game can be a decent bit fairer than the United States English release for PlayStation 2.
Not only are the damage that enemies and bosses take as it is originally intended, but Rockman X7 is also faster in the text that follows the dialogues you can't skip. Then again, JP versions are typically optimal for most Mega Man speedrunners. I say most, being an X4 runner.
I like to think that doing the US run first was the go-to and helped me score a better time here. Something along the lines of doing what you don't like to get better at what you do, whatever saying fits here. That said, pardon the dumb death moments! The Palace Road one included.
Stay tuned for the uploads for me running New Game+, as well as my runbacks for JP and US Any%!
The following speedrun was recorded April 14th, 2025.
