「ロックマンX2」Rockman X2 Playthrough (JP, English Translation) - Part 7, Cristar Mymine

For the translation, be sure to turn on the captions! X2’s translation was done by keekiyasan. I took it from his personal blog since he allowed me to do so. Check the man out! --------------------- Gonna complete uploading this playthrough to start a new one. Mymine’s stage is the first appearance of Energen Crystals that are like a food for Repliroids or something. They got featured more later on, but X2 is their only appearance in X-series to my knowledge. You can go through, like, the half of this stage while riding a Ride Armor, but one of Counter-Hunters just spawned here so I needed to ditch it really early on. That one Counter-Hunter was Sagesse (Serges) who is... a very interesting fellow. He’s the one who was able to build Zero’s new body that would follow the old one’s footprint perfectly. No one has that knowledge! He rides on top of a platform during the fight while having a shield around him that goes away ones Sagesse decided to place a mine. He also can jump and... twist around in the air while shooting projectiles from his hat? What a weird design. Luckily, I beat him on my 4th attempt. He’s not that hard, he’s just annoying. If you have his weakness, Sonic Slicer, you can end the fight faster. I’m not that good at Rockman anyway so don’t mind me getting hit by this pensioner this much. Later we have one mid-boss which can cause some trouble if you don’t have its weakness nor Ride Armor, one empty room where I used Charged Scrap Shoot to get a lot of... Weapon Refills, ugh. Health Refills would be better but OK. And i also got the Head Parts. I still don’t know how to use its search abilty, can someone please tell me how does it work? And then we meet the ma--, ahem, the snail himself - Cristar Mymine (Crystal Snail). I can hardly imagine how hard he might be without his weakness because he has ability to slow time down around himself, excuse me, WHAT? And he seems to use his own weapon, Crystal Hunter (spelled correctly this time), really rarely. I only got to see it once during one of the refight attempts. You need to start wall-jumping once Magnet Mine hits Mymine because he’ll get thrown to the side. Then he’ll try to get his shell back. If you’ll time all of your shots correctly (you need to shoot once he actually puts his shell on), you can trigger Mandriller Syndrome. Or, at least, a different version of it with similar results as the snail won’t attack you until he gets his shell back. There is one more level left before the Final Stages...
