Player Questions

What's different between Megaman X and classic Megaman?

Megaman X introduces dashing, wall climbing, permanent character upgrades, more complex stories, and a darker, more mature setting compared to the classic series.

What are the hadouken and shoryuken moves?

The hadouken is a secret one-hit-kill move obtained by collecting all heart tanks and subtanks, while standing still and inputting the special command. The shoryuken is unavailable in this first X game.

Is there an intended boss order for beginners?

While you can tackle stages in any order, many players recommend starting with Chill Penguin to get the leg upgrade early, then Flame Mammoth for weapons that work well against other Mavericks.
