[@svierrodcuppycake3655]

Ayy, occasional MMX1 speedrunner here. Love to see people appreciating older games. Couple of tips for ya: 1) Strongly recommend rebinding your controls. You'll have to move one of the weapon hotswap buttons somewhere else, but using L or R as your dash button makes this game so much more comfortable. My mom whooped serious ass on the SNES, and showed me this when I was seven; dashing being so easily accessible with jumping and shooting is a complete game changer, and it saves a lot of hand grunch. 2) Also strongly recommend exploring alternate boss orders. Tornado and flamethrower deal damage pretty much every single frame and can be a great substitute for heavy mashing against certain enemies and a few mini-bosses (most notably the big slime guy in Mandrill's stage and the terrain crunchers in Armadillo). Doing Eagle and Mammoth with the buster early on can save you TONS of hand/arm grunch too. Old games can be rough sometimes. Wrist/hand ergonomics weren't always a consideration in game design or control schemes. You might have to get a little creative to avoid putting stress on your body. Even hardware mods like turbo controllers can help; it's not "cheating" in a 1-player game played for fun, it's an accessibility option. Take it easy, Al. Would love to see more SNES games around here. Zombies Ate My Neighbors is also a top 5 game for me, if the jank doesn't drive you completely insane.

[@fireflocs]

To add onto this: You can get every upgrade in Eagle's stage once you have the Dash (from Penguin's stage), get every upgrade in Mammoth's stage if Penguin's stage is done and you have the Helmet Armor (from Eagle's stage), and get the last upgrade in Penguin's stage if you have Mammoth's weapon. So going Penguin, Eagle, Mammoth (then backtracking for that one upgrade in Penguin's stage) lets you make X way stronger almost immediately and super-easily. That won't help you speedrun the game (since it involves 100%ing stages and backtracking), but for a casual player, getting that many upgrades as early as possible is a GODSEND. Plus your next boss should be Mandrill - and his stage is substantially easier if you beat Eagle first - both because you have the Tornado (which trivializes not only his miniboss but every enemy in his stage), but simply beating Eagle at all permanently turns off the electrified floor hazards in Mandrill's stage. And yeah, seriously, the Tornado and the Fire are basically broken. Use them at every opportunity. Forget about the buster. Even the Ice is better than the buster in every way. Use the Tornado until it runs out of ammo, then use the Fire until that runs out, then use the Ice (and honestly, you should never get to that point anyway). Only bother with the other weapons for boss weaknesses or specific applications (ie: some upgrades can only be got with the Boomerang, and the charged Rolling Shield are Chameleon Sting are defensive buffs that basically let you ignore all the hazards in certain parts of certain stages). X1 is a fine game, but the weapons aren't balanced, and you can exploit the hell out of that if you know what you're doing.

[@gearscore349]

Whenever I play this game, I ALWAYS map dash to L and that weapon swap to A. It makes the game so much fun to play.

[@themightyhook]

i would also say getting a turbo button would help with games that you need to mash buttons in, some may call it cheating but eh. if it helps it helps

[@b3ntl33]

Re-mapping Dash to 'R' was a game-changer for me once I discovered it. And I didn't even think I thought about that until X4 because I was tired of getting finger cramps trying to do everything you could as Zero on just the standard four face buttons.

[@richyroa]

@@fireflocs My friend does that and it works for him. I can see L or R being used for dash. It works in megaman zero (GBA). Agreed with fire and tornado weapons being OP. Also, Charging up Chameleon's weapon trivializes lots of corridors. Myself, I copy said friend's father who would hold the controller quite differently: With the right hand over the face buttons like a piano, with your middle and ring finger you can easily dash jump (A+B) and with your index you can shoot with Y as normal. L and R stay as weapon shoulder buttons, though you can't access R that easily. As a child it didn't take me too much to get used to this mutant configuration. In fact, it works so good to me that I use the same schematics in most platformers (even the nes), for speedruns and specially super metroid. EDIT: I have seen the WR of super makaimura (Super ghouls and ghosts), and he uses the same technique to dual-fire knives with Y+A. I have used that technique in that game and for some reason I got a crump for the first time.

[@fireflocs]

First off, X2 is better. Second, you can and should (at least to some extent), ignore the weakness order. Chill Penguin should absolutely be your first target, but after him, I'd actually recommend Storm Eagle, and then Flame Mammoth. Storm Eagle is TRIVIAL as long as you have the dash, with or without his actual weakness, his weapon is THE BEST IN THE GAME (seriously, it's downright broken), and you can get all of the collectibles in his stage with nothing but the dash. PLUS one of the collectibles in his stage (the head upgrade) is necessary to get two of the collectibles in Mammoth's stage (and Mammoth's weapon is in some ways better than Eagle's, plus he is equally trivial to defeat with or without his weakness - though you will have his weakness this way). And once you have Mammoth's weapon, you can get the last collectible from Penguin's level. As you can imagine, starting off the game with that many upgrades and both broken weapons makes the whole playthrough a lot smoother. After you've taken out those three though, you should probably follow weakness order for the remaining bosses. In fact, as a general rule, forget about using the buster once you have the ice (unless you run out of ammo at least). It's better in literally every way, and then the tornado and the fire are so great that they make it obsolete. Use special weapons in stages, not just against bosses.

I always do the bosses in a slightly different order. Chill Penguin, Storm Eagle, Flame Mammoth and Armored Armadillo I can do with just the Buster, but having Storm Eagle's weapon completely trivializes Flame Mammoth and also gives great coverage during the high speed cart motion in Armored Armadillo's stage. Doing that order nets you the dash, helmet and buster upgrades in quick sequence. Storm Eagle's ship crashing alter's Spark Mandrill's stage to make it a bit easier to traverse. Then knock out Launch Octopus, into Boomer Kuwanger, and finish out with Sting Chameleon.

[@futhum]

As a 39 year old, the pain of being old and trying to play old games is real

[@TheVoltDenatsu]

what youre supposed to do with dashes is have your thumb over the bottom two buttons with your thumbtip on jump and the middle on the dash button. When you press your thumb down you'll do a dash jump and when you need to control your jumps you can just slide down the controller and use jump like in sigma's stage. If you do it this way you can also position your thumb the same way to do a dash-jump-shoot, which was way overused as a mechanic in megaman x3.

[@jruler93]

This was very entertaining. Congratulations on getting the Funny Little Hadouken, even if you didn't use it. I'm also 28 and have been playing this game for as long as I can remember, but I don't remember the last time I've seen Spark Mandrill's stage with the power on.

[@tdbearden]

I've played a ton of MMX1 to the point that I used to be able to beat this game blindfolded. My personal recommendations is to rebind your dash to R so that you can charge, dash, and jump all in the same motion. My other recommendation is a different boss order. I always do Chill Penguin, Storm Eagle, Flame Mammoth, Spark Mandrill, Armored Armadillo, Launch Octopus, Boomer Kuwanger, Sting Chameleon.

[@XeonTheMimikyu]

I think this would be a neat series, fully completing your favorite games or just the Mega Man series in general. It was neat watching all the way through.

It’s much more fun to go out of order in X1, because roughly over half the bosses CAN be beaten with your primary weapon. When you don’t cheese him out with his weakness, Spark Mandrill is a really exciting boss fight (Except Sting Chameleon and Boomer Kwanger I still can’t fight them well for the life of me.)
