Obtaining the Hadouken in Mega Man X

When looking for precise instructions for obtaining the secret Street Fighter Hadouken attack in Mega Man X, it is often very hard to get a good, solid definition because of all the inaccuracies and myths out there. So, here it is, as specific as I can get:

The Hadouken is obtained through a secret Dr. Light capsule that appears in Armored Armadillo's stage on top of the ledge above the entrance to his lair. To make it appear, you need to fulfill three separate requirements: You must have defeated all 8 Mavericks, you need to grab the energy capsule on the ledge 4 times, and you need to have all 4 Dr. Light upgrades, all 8 heart tanks, and all sub tanks. Note that these requirements are completely separate. Once you have all of them met, a Dr. Light capsule will appear on the ledge next time you go there. You could grab the energy capsule 4 times on your first visit to Armored Armadillo's stage and then come back later when you've gotten all the tanks and Dr. Light upgrades. Dr. Light's capsule will appear the next time you go to the ledge, not immediately after you've grabbed the energy capsule.
You DO NOT need to have full health when you grab the energy capsules, and you DO NOT need to have full sub tank energy. You DO NOT need to jump back into the pit and kill yourself, but it is generally faster that way. If you need more lives, the strange looking bat (a cameo appearance from the classic Mega Man games) at the beginning of the stage has a very high rate for dropping extra lives.

Note that the Hadouken cannot be saved in a password, so every time you play you must obtain it again.

The Hadouken is performed just like it is in Street Fighter: Press down, down/forward, then forward+shot button. You have to have full health to use it though.

@QueenUTAUandVocaloid You need all the upgrades, all the heart tanks, all the sub tanks, and all Mavericks defeated. Please read the video description.

[jedispy]

Dang it...I can't get it. I have all of the heart containers, and all of the sub tanks. What else do you need to do to get this?

[MathUDX]

@jedispy Are you positive you have all the heart tanks? They're the most commonly missed thing. You should have 4 notches more health than your maximum weapon energy when you do.
