It's true that X2 does have many ways to get to the power-ups. That game was well balanced. I've pulled the Ride Chaser trick once, it's not exactly easy to keep it going all the way there!

If I have to make a new guess: the help-requesting reploids in Mega Man X6. Some (especially in Infinity Mijinion's stage) can't really be safely rescued without falling into a pit or a spike trap immediately after. Since most of those reploids don't grant any items, the only real thing you get out of rescuing them is the right to brag about a perfect game.

Nope.

The What/Where polarity of the answer is kind of arguable.

You could say it's half What and half Where, but saying the answer is 100% of either category would also make sense. You could also say one-quarter to three-quarters or three-quarters to one-quarter also...

Yeah, I think it's all based on personal opinion.

The "waltz" reminds me of Topman's ability with making Megaman spin and all and it can only be used in the air. On the other hand, it tends to be quite useless also. Considering Shadow Man is weak against the Top Spin, is it somewhere in Shadow Man's level?

At this point I'm almost positive there's no real answer to this but rather is being used to help establish Arkane's Megaman-based knowledge status.

Playing X7. That's got the "no hope" party covered all right!

... could it be about a specific item or location in X7? I wonder...

Oh, new idea: the endless mode of Mega Man 9. There's no way to survive it, and it's ultimately pointless since all it does is record your best score!

Bingo! Endless Mode, it is!

I think the riddle should be fairly self-explanatory now. ;)

As for the What/Where polarity, that much is of personal opinion.

A waltz into the abyss, - For your first try, you don't really know what to expect.
a meaningless feat within the midst, - Go as far as you want, it'll eventually mean your end.
for no more than the sake of pride, - All for the sake of how many "screens" you can cross.
there is no hope to make it out alive. - Yup. You're in there until you die.

Did you know someone actually made it to 99,999 Screens? Check the records online! That's the Screen Counter's limit I'd imagine. After that, I think the levels just keep looping in the same manner, only the Screens Counter won't go any higher than that limit.

Anyhoo, go, Doc, go!

So there IS a limit. It doesn't surprise me, those old NES games can't count very far anyway! The game most likely keeps throwing random areas at you after that point. I've seen the same segment come up at least twice within 200 rooms, so it's not organized as a large cycle of segments to move through.

Then I take it as a challenge to make a riddle based on a game you most likely have played. If you haven't, well, I'm not responsible for that!

From the ashes,
I will be raised.
From my mind,
A change will occur.
From someone else,
The chaos will spread.

Who/What am I?

I would say Zero myself, but that just sounds too easy. Omega was my other pick.

EDITL On the other hand, Dr. Wile sounds better than Omega, keeping Model W in mind. [/pun] I retract my Omega option. :x

But his flame can be removed/ extinguished with the Black Hole Bomb.

My guess is Flame Mammoth, what with the conveyer belt changing directions.

Then again, his name definately doesn't suggest his fire could go out...

Wild guess: Rangda Bangda II, from Mega Man X5. The central part is a flame, after all.
