Перевод на русский имеется, ребята. Не забываем включать :D We're approaching the end of this game. I remember saying “Wait, this game isn't as awful as other people claim it to be!“ I was wrong. The last two stages prove the point pretty much. Yes, I put Red fight in there too. I'll explain in more detail why, but basically, if I'd put the entirety of Crimson Palace in one video, it will be going for more than an hour because of the lag and me being bad at this bad game. Sorry, I'll go back on track now, just wait a sec. ===== About emulation, I think I can emulate X7 without any fear because I own Rockman X Anniversary Collection 2 that does not want to run the games I needed well. Although I know this will not work when I'll eventually need to record Command Mission. Blame CAPCOM for not re-releasing this game, Irregular Hunter X and GameBoy titles that are important. There're some audio lags here and there, and I now know how to solve that problem, but I don't want to suffer my way through this game again (especially the last two stages). You still can read the subtitles. Only voiced dialogues will be translated. Not Alia's navigation, nor Dr. Right's Capsules' messages. Timestamps for the story bits: Dialogue with Red: 10:13 Solo Axl VS Red: 11:09 Red defeated and scene after that: 15:35 ===== Let me mention this, I think you know that fact X7 has a global map of the entire Earth. On this map, Palace Road and Crimson Palace (Red Alert's base hunters are heading to right now) is located in Russia. Guess that theory about Axl being a Russian Robot Master wasn't that far off. But this stage... That's how to NOT design an autoscrolling level with enemies uproaching from all sides. First part is alright, but the second one... I used X's Glide Armor for this, or else I'd probably have even more problems with Palace Road. At least this road looks like something that can be in Russia. Mole Borer here isn't hard as far as you kick it with Flame Hyenard's weapon (which I've discovered accidently at my first run). It's just I was dumb for a big portion of the fight. Don't be like me. Crimson Palace starts as we see Sigma's beautiful face on Stage Select instead of Red's face (wierd because Palace Road does not even have anyone from Red Alert, I guess there should've been 3 final stages instead of 2). First section is just annoying. A lot of slow boulders rolling down with the same soundclip playing over and over, Batton Bones... But eventually, hunters reach the portal that transports them to a different location. Actually, what you see here is me sticking my successful attempt to my first one. I really wanted to use all combinations in this final act of the game, so I recorded Zero\Axl part at the very beginning, then I went through this stage again but with Axl and X (mainly because if I stuck to Zero\Axl, you would've seen X without his armor which would “harm the consistency“ in my opinion). Red and Axl are having conversation here, with each of them being equally sarcastic. Red even mentions the “Professor“ to him and looks like Axl didn't know about him at all for real. And then... This should've been a duel between the two and I'm 100% sure about that. Red's souldclip that plays when he's defeated is actually longer and it ends with him saying “Good job, Axl...“ So I was trying to do a fair fight here and kill Red by using only Axl. I knew that it is possible to do, actually. Even without getting hit once or using any weapons. But this is the best I could and I'm really proud of myself. I was doing that fight for 2-3 hours, I was snapping, but I didn't give up. I really wanted to do the fight justice and beat it as it was originally intended, I suppose. And I've inserted that full soundclip during montage process. The palace (or at least the area where the duel has ended) starts to crumble as half-dead Red tells Axl that he has grown a lot stronger and now he can die at peace (not like he wouldn't die if Axl was defeated instead. Red is infected with Sigma Virus after all, he's just a really though nut to crack, and besides...). Red reveals why he was hurrying Axl up when the two confronted each other before the fight, the reason being that Red has setted up the place to self-destruct “in case of emergency“ so he would disappear together with his base of his own group he has unknowingly corrupted. Axl snaps. And I'm so sorry I wasn't able to actually make his hysterics sound really emotional and desperate. Zero (without X, I guess X really doesn't care or he might be just really busy with other Red Alert members) appeares from behind and tries to make Axl stop trying to save someone who doesn't need to be saved the way Axl wants (being repaired and getting one more chance, I guess). If Axl would not let go of Red, he would get buried together with him... I don't have space left to tell you what I think about Red's final moments, sorry. Go see the pined comment if you want.
