「ロックマンX2」Rockman X2 Playthrough (JP, English Translation) - Part 8, Sonic Ostreague

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! --------------------- So, the last stage I needed to beat was Sonic the Hedg---, *cough-cough* ... Sonic Ostreague’s (Overdrive Ostrich’s) stage. It’s not long, but the upgrates here were so hard to reach I was stuck on this stage for 2 hours before I’ve finally learned how to play it constistantly “not bad“. I also had Violen appear in this stage. He has, like, one or two attack patterns with his flail that are pretty annoying to dodge, but other than that, he’s pretty easy. I could’ve defeated him by standing still with Fully Charged Bubble Splash (yes, this half boar half human repliroid is weak to bubbles), but I wanted to actually show him in action before I’ll do that later in the final stages. Now I have all of the three Zero Parts that Counter-Hunters had. This is also the same moment where another version of me skipped the fight to get on a different story route because, yeah, you can’t build a repliroid that only has a head and a pair of legs. Now I needed to get the Heart-Tank. In order to do that, you need to ride on your Ride Chaser until the very next building where you need to carefully ride on top of spikes while not touching the spike wall next to the Heart-Tank. And sometimes Ride Chaser doesn’t even get to the next building without crushing right next to it. I swear, I have 5 attempts back-to-back where I was only holding the Dash button and jumping just in the right moment, but Ride Chaser still managed to break in some of these. It was unnessesary difficult. Also, yeah, Ride Chaser can respawn. You don’t need to backtrack to far to get a second chance. Then we complete the Second Armor by getting Foot Parts that allow X to Air Dash, turbo-button to destroy the rocket that was set to hit Irregular Hunters’ HQ (X does that himself, I never use turbo-buttons to play the game), and then we can confront the ostrich Irregular in the widest Boss “Room“ in the game. He’s not that hard. You just need to dodge Sonic Slicer after hitting this bird with Crystal Hunter (which I failed to do without getting hit, but still). Now, we can visit the Counter-Hunters themselfs! To the North Pole!
