[nelarsen97]

You can get hurt BTW

[sc30002001]

I finally did it took me forever how do you shoot it?

[SiliconNostalgia]

@Goku6982 the soundtrack to my dreams is MegaMan music... not even playin'.

[Goku6982]

You gotta love that megaman music

[SiliconNostalgia]

@rodencirio thanks for this. I knew there was something I was forgetting :P

[rodencirio]

Must have full health for it to work

[rodencirio]

Works on ios

[MegaCrazysonic]

@SklnO have you filled all the sub tanks and reached there without taking damage (you can die) and killed all bosses with its weakness for all bosses including Sigma?

[mrponalado]

This works for ios?

[SiliconNostalgia]

Try down, down-forward, forward

[SilverNinjaUmbreon]

can you do it on the virtual console?(GameCube controller) i pressed down forward shoot and he doesn't do anything!!

[siggesatan]

funny thing sho ryu karate teaches a kata where the move shoryuken is aplied it literarly means dragon-punch when your arms go in a circle reprecenting ying and yang only to end in a dual palm punch with your wrist together... that when shit starts to fly couse its not only a punch it's THE punch it uses the power in your whole body combinded with your weight

[777prayser]

why dint it work the first 2 times?

[nysiah12345]

how many heart tanks are there?

[SiliconNostalgia]

@nysiah12345 There are a total of eight heart tanks, one in each Maverick stage.

[SiliconNostalgia]

@erni5cp Nerd? You favorited a K'Nex Roller Coaster video . . .

Your grimmacing grin tells tales of your hypocrisy; judge not those of whom you know nothing.

[TDSau]

@erni5cp you got owned G

[heat970]

do you have a password for the hadoukejn?

[ZeroG004]

@heat970 *copies down code at end of video* okay I just got hadoken! =D

[heat970]

@ZeroG004 thank you

[SiliconNostalgia]

@heat970 No, there isn't one. The code at the end of the vid gets you every upgrade in the game. You have to get the Hadoken by going through the steps in the vid. By the way, if you quit the game and then restart, you will have to get the Hadoken special again.

[Rorre65]

how do you even get the thought across your mind to try theese things? who figures out that you should exit the level and return 3 times ^^ I have played this game a lot of my childhood! And i could never ever find out stuff like this :O

[SiliconNostalgia]

@Rorre65 Nintendo Power :)

[Onirayushizobura]

If you are playing on an Emulator MAKE SURE that your ROM does not have any numbers after it, like this: "Mega Man X (V1.1)" or "Mega Man X (V1.0)".

It should say "Megaman X (J)" or "Mega Man X (U)" or something of that nature. The "(V1.1)" or whatever denotes that it's a beta version of the game, meaning that the Hadouken probably is NOT in there. I had that problem and I wasted an hour or two just trying to figure it out.

I hope this helps anybody who is having problems.

[RaceBandit]

Considering the code at the end is different from the one while leaving and re-entering the level, I'd have to say there's a bit of evidence towards this existing.

Having never played an MMX game, though, I cannot confirm or deny this.

[NyuxSaysxNyu]

@RaceBandit The code's real, I used it.

The hadouken capsule is real as well. Just did it myself, takes 4 times through the level.

(3 restarts, its there the 4th time)

[SiliconNostalgia]

@NyuxSaysxNyu It actually only takes three times. However, I have had it happen to where I needed to exit the level and restart up to six times (this happened to me several times, actually), so I'm not sure what to say about that other than there must be a bug in the the game's code somewhere.

[SiliconNostalgia]

@RaceBandit All of the codes are different each time. The passwords at the end of the level keep track of how many lives you have, how many upgrades you have, how many mavericks you've beaten, how full your energy tanks are, etc. So the password will change anytime these values change. However, if you get the special and then quit the game, when you return, you will have to get it again even if you use the same password.

[SklnO]

@SiliconNostalgia I don't understand... I have every needed requirement: all the 4 sub tanks, all the 8 heart tanks, all the 4 enhancements and all the bosses down, I jumped up to that cliff at full life a countless (like 9 or more) number of times, either through dying or starting the level over... why is it not working? could it be a problem with my rom? are you playing via emulator or actual console?

[zippo219830]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. takes some time to get, but totally worth it. too bad it can't be gotten with codes lol

[saints360row]

capcom make this?

[ShinOni865]

Yeah, Capcom made the Mega Man series, as well as the Street Fighter Series..

[dantech93]

wow for some reason when i get the bubble around me it pops as soon as i touch an enemy

[HugoBlack009]

if the bubble is weaker than the enemy it pop

[SiliconNostalgia]

@dantech93 The Rolling Shield will only destroy small enemies on contact. The Shield acts as one regular X-Buster energy bullet. Basically, it kills enemies that will die with one shot. Any enemy that requires more than that will cause the Rolling Shield to pop on contact.

[lpncg13]

never works for me its fake as far as im concerned

[FiaccoBros]

this is truly real, how many times do you go through the level? maybe you died during the process because that might mess it up

[NyuxSaysxNyu]

@FiaccoBros Dying speeds it up, takes 4 times. 3 restarts/deaths its there the 4th time.

[markromiro619]

no its reall man

[hgf520]

its real but a quicker way is to commit suicide after so you still have your check point

[SylvanLynch]

Ordinarily I don't try to claim something's TA'd but 1:10's really got me doubting it.

[SiliconNostalgia]

@SylvanLynch It would only be "TA'd" if Roll showed up with breast augmentations.

[WiiMaster91]

I never noticed that Dr. Light was dressed up in Ryu's costume! LOL! xD

[aceZ90]

this is very real, i've done it

[alexnobody1]

Is this real? It's too intricate to be fake, but it's too bizarre to be real!

[yop2yop]

its real , i hace i use vs boss for kill in one hit

[alexnobody1]

Why does youtube hate questions and constructive criticism and advice? Honestly, it's not like I said "OMG U R A HACKER N TIHS IS PHAAAAAAYKE!!!!1!11!one!"

I can understand maybe a -1, but -5?

[yop2yop]

if you can have the game, and do this. its real, i do this , 1 friend learn me..... and if you know Hadoken (street figtheR)(CAMCOMP)(MEGAMAN)

[SiliconNostalgia]

@alexnobody1 No one will ever fully understand the ways and wonders of YouTubeiness.

[SiliconNostalgia]

@alexnobody1 Nah, it's in one of the issues of Nintendo Power from the days of throwback. Try it for yourself. If you can't find a suitable SNES and copy of MMX to buy, then you can always download a copy of ZSNES and the rom to test it out yourself :)

[DaiseSsu]

Just like you would in Street Fighter :)

[sk8tijuana93]

thanks for the password !5

[THX10538]

I have done that multiple times, upwards to 7 and I have not gotten the hadoken. Do you have to not get hit the whole level? I did it by jumping off the chasm so I only had to do the last half, but it still didn't work.

[hyastu]

You must have all heart containers, E-tanks and have all the armor pieces.

[tatakaetarantera]

also with hyastu's comment you need the E-tanks full. not sure about getting hit but you need at least full life at the end.

[SiliconNostalgia]

@THX10538 Did you jump up to the platform where Dr. Light's Capsule is located? When you cross the chasm, you have to get up on the platform where the health pod is locaated, then you are permitted to jump into the chasm and die of your own accord. Hope this helps! :)

[kanagii]

:O lol i hav this for the psp :D

[TamuroBros321]

*shoot* Hadoken!

[Zxander34]

My fav game too I'm just not nearly as good.

[DREBIN813]

yeah so i hear when you get the hadouken its a one hit thing for all bosses?

[SiliconNostalgia]

@DREBIN813 Correct, You may defeat any enemy, Maverick, boss in one hit, with the exception of the final boss (Sigma's final form).

[Yoshi6851]

@SiliconNostalgia I think it works on them all, but it's unlikely you will hit sigma's final form with it.

[SiliconNostalgia]

@Yoshi6851 Honestly, there is no way to find out, heh. To use the Hadouken special, MegaMan's feet must be firmly planted (not in mid-air). Sigma's final form has the electric-hand-claw-doom-spikes used to access his weak spot. Using the Hadouken at the doom-claw's highest point won't even get close to hitting the weak spot. It ends up just travelling below Sigma's head, making it impossible to hit. However, I'll go ahead and say that Hadouken kills all mavericks, it's just that Sigma's a CHEET.

[siggesatan]

@Yoshi6851 on snes even if you hit sigmas head on the final form hadoken bouns of him he is the only one that is truly imune to it! i tryed it my self and failed big time -.- however on the psp you can kill everything with hadoken sigma no exeption! everybody die "HADOKEN" >__<*

[Wiggymaster]

I think it's faster to just kamakaze it off the cliff a few times cause you start mid stage.

[sotelix]

can you get the hadoken special playing with a emulator?

[Dedboy]

Yes.I did on ZNSNES.

[Warrior536]

I have the hadoken but i cant use it! i use the control youre saying but it doesnt work...help?

[hellstoocold]

well in his description he say down,foward attack but actually its

(down-down foward-foward attack) the motion should be smooth to where you FEEL you're only pushing down-foward attack.

Good?

[vallenato]

3 times¿

[SiliconNostalgia]

Yesñ

[KoopaTroopaZ]

Nice but you know you don't have to exit and crap you can just die and redo half the stage....

also for maverick hunter x (the remake) you can aquire the haduken by beating this stage without being hit ...use the chameleon sting to help :D

They also took out his voice in the x collection for ps2 :(

[SiliconNostalgia]

Yeah, I put that in the description of the vid, I just prefer going through the stage over and over again (dying makes me feel unaccomplished). I still have yet to try that theory for that reason alone. OCD is a bitch. :)

[SiliconNostalgia]

Oh, and I didn't know this until some guy sent me a message about it. Apparently you can jump in front of the second cave digger enemy (the one after the long drop folloing the first railcar ride). there's enough room to just jump in front of him and say "forget about it." That would seem to shave a few seconds off the time as well.

[capote2509]

After 4 tries moments ago,i was able to do Hadouken with X...it rocks!

[ShotGunRoleModel]

man i used to lovee this game

[argamaX89]

how do you de to make that pink bubbles attack in 1:09?

[Fuyosa]

After Zero dies, or after you get the Flame Mammoth arm upgrade.

[kingnahum17]

What were you doing withth Rolling Shield? It was flashing then gone for a while then reappeared w/o charging.

[horkenfrosten]

It's Youtube. When you upload a video to Youtube, it removes (I think) every other frame in the video making visual effects like the shield look a little bizarre.

So yeah, the shield's normal.

[dbzisstillcool]

yeah this is real. it kills everything in 1 hit. but ive gotten it before and i was getting hit. this kid is just really good haha

[ohmilsacerdote38]

is this fake or real?! i cant belive it..! awesome

[Zabaloono]

just to let ppl know if they dont

the object is 2 clear the stage 4-5 times with full health at the end, not to not get hit at all.(hope that makes it more encouraging for those ppl who think they cant do it) BTW: there is an easter egg in that stage, if u look closely at the beggining, one of the various bats are the bat from Megaman 8, instead of megaman X.

[elixirnova]

I believe it was also in MegaMan VII ?

[OmegaWarrior]

Actually, I believe those bats first appeared in Mega Man 2; If any of you are still discouraged, this particular enemy has a VERY high chance of dropping a 1-up!

[OmegaWarrior]

Also: here's how this trick works: every time the bottom-left corner of that ledge (with the capsule on it) is displayed on the screen, the game adds 1 to a count; if you have all weapons/items/powerups, a full health bar, AND the count is equal to 5, then the capsule will appear; if the count is >5, or =5 but other conditions are not met, the count resets to zero. You ONLY need to have full life when you arrive at the end of the level on the 5th try. Not every time & not for the whole level.

[elixirnova]

Hey do you by any chance have any documented information about that for the ROM version of the game? I'm writing editors for the X/X2/X3 roms and would love to get a head start on editing weapons/secrets like this!

[BagOfMagicFood]

Right, it's probably quicker to just stock up on extra lives and fall straight into the pit after visiting the cliff so you only have to repeat the last section of the level. And hey, dying refills your health anyway...

[weareverysorry]

I either drops 1up or nothing, tested xP

[mla2005]

you dnt have to quit the stage if it dosent come i jus jump off it takes about 2 tries also you can slide past that 2nd tank instead of usin da fire good vid though

[touchmyshmeckle1018]

Ive done this like 100 times and it still refuses to bring up the capsule

I've met all the requirements.

(I am however playing on an emulator)

[Leohuizar]

i have MMX collection for PS2, and he doesnt make shout "HADO...!" when you do it.

[sneakerpimp64]

does that code also give u the hadoken too?

[SiliconNostalgia]

No it does not, it does however give you all energy tanks, heart containers and X upgrades. Makes it a little easier when trying to get the Hadoken special.

[tsukasaofthevirus]

the code at the end really helps!

lol

I didn't realize anything was there until I was trying to fill my spare energy tanks!

[DonMasakoni]

ryuuuuuuu

[Sexaman69]

wow i love this game but i hated how dr.light said *I give you a special present* should have been *I'll give you a special present* ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!

[cypheraine17]

Wow..you're an absolute game master. I couldnt play a single game (yeah, even Super Mario Bros) this good. 2 thumbs up!

[Drunksonic]

have you noticed that Dr. Light looks like he's dressed in street fighter?

[Jimbahiya]

ya.

[aldious465]

This game = Simply amazing! Great vid! Every Faqs out there only say that you need all the Heart Containers and defeat all eight bosses, they never say to get all four Energy Tanks as well, thanks a lot!

[whatsup55555]

Great vid, and btw, your an insane megaman player.

[SiliconNostalgia]

It actually took me two or three times recording this to make it through without getting hit. The first time I got all the way to the end and jumped into a bird, knocking me into the chasm. I died. :)

[greatjellybean]

yeah practice makes perfect!!=)

[kenecchi]

You totally made my day with this; I could never get this to work right. I'm going to give this password to myself 12 years ago.
