Mega Man X2 [SNES] No Damage Playthrough

Played by Zenith.

Getting the enhanced buster, this time around, puts X at a severe disadvantage, since it forces him to stand still while he shoots off charged shots, which means more opportunities to take a beating from his foes. I got it for completion's sake and also because it allows for the other weapons to be charged, which is necessary to get some other goodies. Otherwise, I'd rather not have X's buster charged. Agile's fight and Neo Sigma's fight, in particular, are much more difficult because of this.

Violen is the most fearsome foe here. His ball & chain can be very difficult to predict. Other than that, the bosses aren't too hard. Another thing to note is that, for the most part, the mavericks are more fun (or even easier) to fight buster-only. Bubble Crab is very manipulable. Simply hop over him and he'll try to strike you from below, leaving himself open to attack.

Unlike in Mega Man X, we can actually collect the secret weapon, Shoryuken, without either wasting time or taking damage. I put it to good use on the maverick rematches (and also to smash Agile's second form flat) after already beating them to the pulp (except for Morph Moth lol). I didn't want to use it on the final fights, though, since the move is way too overpowered and diminishes the excitement of the battle a lot.

It's possible to fight Zero in this game, but since I collected all three of his parts from the X-Hunters, the fight was avoided. I might upload just the Zero fight as a separate video, so that all possible encounters are accounted for.
