Route Information

WR Route Orders

Both routes pick up all items, but 100% collects the Zero parts too. This minor route variation accounts for the X-Hunter movement and locations.

The rest of this high level explanation:

"97% is still any%"

The any% route still collects "everything," except the Zero parts. This is to collect the Shoryuken, which deals massive damage to end game bosses.

It is possible to go faster without collecting any extra items, but it is difficult.

Other Route Options

"Bird Third"

Ostritch Third for any% is a very viable route, Stag third is just faster once you master using charged burner. It's also largely a straight weakness order, except for Ostrich himself.

Sponge, Gator, Ostrich, Crab, Stag, Moth, Centipede, Snail

Weakness Order For Reference

Sponge, Gator, Crab, Stag, Moth, Centipede, Snail, Ostrich

By doing Ostrich after gator and before Snail, Centipede, and Crab...

  1. Can collect the Boots capsule
  2. Have Boots to perform Neon jumps

Neon Jumps

After collecting the Boots and Buster upgrades, it is possible to have a second jump in mid air. These have been termed "Neon jumps" after Mega Man's glow from firing the first full charge shot.

This can be done with either the first or second pink and orange charge shots.

General Techniquies

Dash Lemons

Just like X1, the first lemon fired during a dash does 2 points of damage. This is extremely useful for buster DPS (Damage per second) on bosses.
