Megaman X8 - Cutman Hidden Boss

This is an optional boss fight you can get to in Megaman X8 via Optic Sunflower's stage.
How to get it depends on what platform you're using. The PS2 version requires you to have a save file of Megaman X Command Mission while the PC version requires you to beat all of the top level areas in the stage.

That moment when X finds a time machine.

Cutman's turn around animation is priceless.

Doing a double attack on Cut Man is hilarious. I love how it pans around his 2D sprite.

Little did X know that by defeating Cutman, MegaMan wouldn't be able to get the Rolling Cutter, thus dooming the timeline.

X is too OP for the original Robot Masters! Cut Man never stood a chance! xD

[FusionComet]

Cutman didn't stand a chance, he did 1 damage and killed in like 4 hits.

I love how Cutman is still an 8-bit sprite

I just realized. Alia says the file downloaded is called "CM". CM could stand for Command Mission, but it could also stand for Cut Man.

Well, there you have it. Cut Man can survive the extinction of the Robot Masters.

Nice man! We all know throwbacks are the best things ever..!

Optic Sunflower is a collector of 20XX paraphernalia, ain’t he?

This Cutman Easter Egg... You need to have either Megaman Anniversary Collection Data saved onto your PS2 along with New Save Data for X8 on Normal or Hard Mode, If you have X Command Mission Data that also works fine, But you still have to battle the original Boss on your First Playthrough, then going back triggers a Cutman Mini-Boss. The Japanese Version lets you input a Fast Code as an Optional trigger.

kinda wished you got rolling cutter, would be nice to see X use it

[rockylopez]

Put all the Robot Masters all at once against X and everybody would be gone in the blink of an eye. By the way, MegaMan and MegaMan X are still fun up to this very day!✊✊

[gabrielleao]

X, he is your own brother! Don't kill him!!!

[lukexplay]

This opened a new world of imagination for kid me

When I first found the hidden cut man I thought it was completely awesome
