The DEFINITIVE Guide to Mega Man X1 | All Items & Upgrades, Least Backtracking

To kick off my return to Mega Man, I thought it would be interesting to take my "least backtracking routes" from the old MMX Reviews, and make dedicated videos out of them. Starting with Mega Man X!

I like it, it shows you the most effective way to get everything. Would love to see X5 and X6 guides.

6:44 "otherwise he's a tough nut to crack"
I see what you did there J, if only the ds's compression was here...

[lakentrkfudge]

Wow, and I have never strayed away from the weakness order until this video. Next to no backtracking feels so satisfying after defeating bosses out of order.

The chad backtracking order vs the virgin weakness order

[edgelord]

It's nice to see J make more mega man videos.

The guy is an absolute *mad lad*

For those looking for an extra challenge, you can obtain Boomer Kuwanger's Heart Tank without the charged shotgun ice by performing an *extremely* precise dashing walljump

6:45 J is the hunter from ZXA's opening confirmed

[Harbinger]

@3:23 - To me, this is the most challenging task in the game. But thank you for creating this video and showing us where to find everything.

[KepalaMonyet]

5:22 - the Pattern is not random.

When you descent, while jumping (or falling) the boomerang goes down.

When you stand still, walk or dash, ascend (while jumping) the boomerang goes up.

Great video, Js. I remember getting this exact order from you after the first time I beat Mega Man X.

Kuwanger stage theme is the best of the Best in the whole series in my heart

[cliffridenour]

Great video! So many great memories playing this game. I always had to have my older sister beat sigma at the end even though he's kinda a pushover. Just so intimidating.

Quick hint: you can destroy the floaty boaty thingy in lunch octopus' stage (7:16) with one shot if you use the tornado weapon.

[lephantom]

this made me wanna replay all the megaman x games. starting with maverick hunter x tonight ! thanks for this guide

[seanfroelich]

I love the sound bite for X's Hadouken

[AveryMSI]

I like how he comments on all the bangin songs in the game except for Spark Mandrill Wich is one of THE BEST in the series

[shinysamurott]

I'd definitely like to see you do this for the other X games. At the very least up to 4.

[OGNoNameNobody]

The charged S Ice move for the Heart Tank was EYE - OPENING

[SMAXZO]

Here's a question. You said in your MMX review that doing certain stages would affect other stages? What was the effects?

Edit: Never mind, you covered it. Thanks.

[RealHyperHedgehog]

This was the first game I ever 100% completed. Not with this method, but it helped me later. Thank you.

[dimentiorules]

You should definitely continue this series. It's really informative and useful!
