Unfortunately the audio desynchronized with the video when I was recording this. I've since resolved the problem, but I'd rather not record it again.

Sorry for the lame Zero tactics, it really is a pain spending 4 minutes getting to Sigma's second form and then getting hit. After practicing this for a very long time I just started going through the Zero battle quickly.

Things to note:
-The hitbox for Zero's saber projectile actually starts a distance away from his body's hitbox, meaning you can sit right by him when he does it and not get hurt.
-Sigma in X2, unlike just about every other boss in any X game, actually loses two notches of health from a first-level charge shot (the small green one).
-While people often call Sigma's second form in X2 one of the easiest in the X games, that's only if you exploit his severe weakness to the Strike Chain. Very challenging to get through without getting hit.
-Without any upgrades or weapons, Sigma's second form takes 64 shots to defeat, more than any other enemy in a single battle in any other Mega Man game I know of.
-Notice how Sigma's head is manipulated to shoot enemies where I want it to (the ground). There are two brief moments in time as he's ending his ground blast attack that X's position affects where his head will go next and where it will shoot enemies. Jumping off the wall at around the time I did will achieve the desired effect.
