I had trouble with him when I was 7, when the game first came out. When I went back and played it again when I was 12 or 13 he was a piece of cake. Just pay attention to the tracks and always keep a full charge.

However, haudokening Sigma's dog and Sigma form one was always a pleasure.

It's one of the trickiest bosses in the game, but you have 4 extra energy tanks, you can simply outdamage him. I can usually kill him without using a subtank using shotgun ice.

Bospider always moves along a horizontal pole when it reaches one so you have to very very quickly figure out where he's going to end up. As a kid I didn't pay attention and got beat now I can kill him easy enough.

Yeah. It was the 90's, everything was "X".

It helps that Megaman X actually had good gameplay to back up the edge factor. It wasn't just some all-style-no-substance thing.

How casual can you people be, it's not even that hard. You don't even need Ice Shot for this weakling

Sigma on the other hand is a pain and a ridiculous difficulty spike after the simple boss rush/fortress bosses

I don't understand. How is X1 difficult? I have to play with no upgrades and ban myself from using dash to make the game a challenge. D-Rex is the only boss I had a hard time with simply because it speeds up after its health is half-depleted.

I suppose. But going to the extent of getting hadoken/shoryuken/saber in X1/2/3 just ruins the game. It's worse than choosing the "easiest" or "beginner" difficulty in my opinion.

If people are having "fun" then whatever I guess.

Normally I'd be right with you, but Megaman X as a game was designed to actually complement the array of subweapons. Most of them are good for mooks AND bosses.

Nah, man. Not how it works.

See, even with the learning curve provided by some seven/eight years of experience in Mega Man games, X was a creature that always, ALWAYS kicked your ass right out the gate. No exceptions. Because MM's gameplay is steeped in finding ways to not only overcome obstacles, but do it fast enough to blow through the stage and not be set up for deathtraps.

In that respect, the bonus items: Hadouken, Dragon Punch, and Gold Armor were an outright REWARD for tenacious playing.

Think on it carefully. You have to jump hoops and perfect a stage 5 times with 100% items in the first. You have to approach the boss levels with 100% PLUS full tanks & health, and hardline your way through easily the most difficult obstacle sequence in the game. In X3, you have to do all that, but ALSO be savvy enough to rely on Zero for ONE specific battle, and also not have wasted the extra bosses (in other words, hold back and be prudent).

In X4, you insert some weaksauce code and get the secret gamebreaking armor right out the fucking gate. Same for X5. And X6. And 8 (you can cheat the credit system). 7 is painful to recall, but I believe it was the same.


To recap:

X4 - 8: Easy argument for "cheapening" the experience.

X1 - 3: An obvious reward for hard motherfucking work.

It's not a pattern per se, but every jump he moves the exact same distance, once you realize this you can predict where he'll land. You can still get confused though and take damage.

Storm Tornado is my goto weapon. I probably use it as much as the X-buster.
