Capcom decided to make some easy money, so they recycled parts of Mega Man X5, threw in overly difficult trial-and-error gameplay, made almost everything an obstacle course, and called it Mega Man X6.

This run uses both X and Zero. Zero's sword physics makes it the ideal boss killer but some bosses have unavoidable invincibility periods, which is why X is sometimes used. The run also obtains a weapon which is more beneficial to X than to Zero. Zero cannot be obtained right away, but must be obtained by beating a certain boss.

The run uses the hardest difficulty level, Xtreme, which would be more appropriately called insane.

For a run that plays through all stages, see [1516] PSX Mega Man X6 "all stages" by Noxxa in 41:18.38.

X seeks to find the lost Maverick Hunter Zero, who has gone missing since X5. Of course, once found, Zero does all the dirty work, while X is nowhere to be found.

This run completes all stages, as opposed to the any% level run. You can see how nasty every level is on Xtreme difficulty. As always, Zero is much better suited to killing bosses than X. Zero also uses powerups which he wouldn't be able to use in an any% run.
