Proof of Concept: Mega Man X5 DashlessChargelessLow% (All Stages) (please read the description!)
2Disclaimer:
I do not recommend anyone to run this category, especially not in one sitting. This game has many horrendous moments and poor level design, so in order to save myself from becoming insane, this run was recorded in multiple segments. I might run this in one session someday, if I really have nothing better to do, many hours to spare and a wish to suffer.
► Notes for the run:
This is NOT a speedrun!
This run was recorded in multiple segments!
These segments were all recorded between April 10th, 2025 - April 14th, 2025.
Horizontal ropes and vertical ropes are allowed to use. Diagonal ropes however are BANNED. Why and more on that (and information about each stage in general) in the document. You can find that in the pinned comment and further down below.
Charging the X-Buster at the Final Boss is allowed, because of certain circumstances. Read more on that in the text below and in the document.
I freaking hate both the Burn Dinorex and Tidal Whale Stages. This game is a terrible mess.
A lot of things went wrong in this run, many many deaths, both because of fails and voluntary deaths. A lot of luck against Shadow Devil but bad luck against Rangda Bangda W. But STILL A LOT LESS deaths than I was expecting.
A clean first try final boss. Wasn't expecting that either. Got very lucky against Final Sigma W.
Run time: No proper runtime recorded. (Maybe a stream one day...)
Normal deaths: 16
1 Death in Dark Necrobat,
2 Deaths in Spike Rosered,
1 Death against Crescent Grizzly,
1 Death in Tidal Whale,
1 Death in Volt Kraken,
1 Death against Volt Kraken,
1 Death in Shining Firefly,
4 Deaths against Rangda Bangda W,
1 Death against Zero,
1 Death in Zero Space Stage 4,
1 Death against Shining Firefly (Rematch),
1 Death in Zero Space Stage 5.
Voluntary deaths: 6
1 Death against Burn Dinorex,
1 Death in Tidal Whale,
1 Death against Tidal Whale,
1 Death in Zero Space Stage 1,
1 Death against Volt Kraken (Rematch),
1 Death in Zero Space Stage 5.
Total deaths: 22
It is allowed to charge the X-Buster against Psycho Sigma and Final Sigma W, ONLY after your weaponbar for each Tri-Thunder and Spike Ball are depleted, since both Sigma forms are immune to every other weapon in your arsenal and normal lemon shots don't harm him whatsoever.
!! Important: !!
I have a general rundown for each stage in this game, for anyone else who wants to attempt this or for anyone curious about how I got through the routing of this game. The document is linked here and in the pinned comment. I highly recommend you reading that.
