Oh boy, I can't wait for the most medium mavericks! Truly one of the videos of all time
Yep, that will be a video alright. The wait for its release is a slight annoyance.
To be fair, Storm Eagle is a death trap if you miss the dash upgrade, or if you are a beginner and you select his stage before Chill Penguin's.
first time i played the game as a kid i went to storm eagle first because i knew this music was awesome, then got rocked by the boss
I just offed myself because I didn't have my chameleon sting because he looked hard.
😂😂
He was the first maverick I beat so no dash and no weakness
He kept pushing me off the stage when I first started playing. Once I got the dash, though, it was a wrap.
We should get hardest mavericks buster only. I feel like if you fight every maverick with its weakness none of them are hard. I would rather see who has the hardest patterns baseline.
If we count the X-Hunters in X2, then Violen is the single hardest Maverick, due to the randomness of his wrecking ball attack, which hurts a lot especially if you don't have the chest part equipped. Serges (rematch) comes in close second, too.
Violen whooped my ass. X(
I hate how random he is. There's no stregety, just hope that he doesnt attack you
Also for the 2nd serges fight, the giga attack and a charged up sonic slicer is the best
Even though it's easy to see coming, when it comes to all they can throw at you, Magna Centipede's power drain can screw up the fight a LOT harder than getting gnawed on by Wheel Gator.
Everyone's been hit by it at least once; you know the pain.
Indeed, that's even worse in Mega Man Xtreme despite how small everything is, as there are no exploits to avoid getting poisoned by Centipede like how you can completely avoid it on X2 with a good timed air dash or dash jump before he forces you to get grabbed.
About Centipede, he has a different effect everytime he stings you (the first 4 times at least)
i thought the sting only disables the charge attack. So I was too lucky.
I've played X6 at least like 5 times and I've always found Mijinion way harder than Heatnix and I usually play as Zero too, weird. The clones seem to always have so much health and the amount of bubbles he can spawn gets pretty annoying as well.
It's bullet hell with Infinity Mijinion.
X3 was the second Megaman X game I've ever played, after X8. So yeah, I had my trouble back then. Actually most of the trouble with Blast Hornet and Volt Catfish (I didn't have their weaknesses, and Catfish has a really weird super attack, where only the top left corner is completely safe)

i think you mean worst to best?
@@nintara3746 Thanks! I saw you on Nico's Website.
@@mohdadeeb1829 np and oh neat, was it my zero or my x7 review?
@@nintara3746 Both!
@@mohdadeeb1829 cool, what are your thoughts on them?
I especially have to agree with the choice for X7. Plus, the tank somehow has ice physics when turning a corner. Yeah. FUN!! And that's on top of the stuff Hyenard throws at you.
It's not so much corners, it's that the tank has momentum which can screw up your jump inputs as well. What's worse is that this fight is... unique... in that you see Axl talk to Flame Hyenard on the main stage before the fight begins and then you're bombarded by screaming clones with no idea which one's the real one. I lost at least two lives before I realised that none of them were the mechanical goat was more than just a missile-firing distraction and I think I lost a couple more figuring how (if) I could safely wall jump up it while moving.
@@TheBlackSeraph Makes you wonder how this fight was even approved by Capcom in the first place.
I know. I got knocked into the lava and threw an unholy fit.
To be fair, Morph Moth can actually be really annoying to get past without getting hit, since he fires A LOT of projectiles in his first form, and his second form always takes away a lot of energy when he hits you
Their is a way to not get hit at all when he is in moth form. Stay to sides as he does dust. Move away from him as you see him getting ready to do beam attack, then repeat until he dies
Storm Eagle can be the hardest... but only, only, ONLY if you didn't get the dash beforehand.
Wrong I beat him buster only no dash and Launch Octopus is still harder
a lil late but nah, cuz all you need is to stay close to him until he does that flying move wich you dont need dash to avoid it
I always think of the fact that the games allow you to fight the Mavericks in any order regardless of weapons or upgrades when thinking about what counts as the hardest in the game, which is to say Crush Crawfish without any upgrades is hellish lol
Dude I'm trying to sleep. And now i have to stay up more to see your 'right' opinions
The tough thing about these lists is that whether or not you use the weaknesses can completely change the difficulty of bosses. Personally I buster only the X and original games since weaknesses just kind of trivialize things (and later started no damage buster only running bosses in the older games for added challenge), but even with that being said, some of the reasoning behind some of the picks had me scratching my head on this one.
X1- totally agree, though personally I'd put Boomer way below Mandrill. Just wait out his teleports on the wall, jump the boomerang and blast him, retreat back up the wall. It's tedious as hell and annoying sure, but super easy. Mandril has a lot of attacks with very short visual cues or wind ups meaning that without a weakness your reactions have to be on point.
X-2- Even with his phase 1 being super easy, his phase 2 can do some serious damage if you don't use the weakness, and since he starts at the top of the arena where you cant see him it makes actually predicting attacks difficult. Magna Centipede imo is literally just learning his positioning.
X3-With the weakness, Volt is absolutely a cakewalk but without.... hoooo lordy... once he hits half and starts doing lightning strikes all over the place with projectiles... goooood freakin luck.... then again, I did play it on the PS2 X-Collection so not sure if the bosses are any different than in the original SNES version in terms of patterns. Funny enough I actually find Seahorse SUPER easy. Once you get the positioning down you just dodge, shoot when he lands, and you're set. One of those rare cases that's easier without the weakness due to the ice weapon having such a huge shot delay.
X4- Storm Owl really depends on his RNG. Sometimes he just spams those green orbs or comes in at wierd angles, other times he just does the most braindead easy attacks to dodge. Still not the hardest but still. Honestly would say yea, toss up between Jet and Dragoon if you're not cheesing with the armor or using weaknesses. Both have some decent mix ups and use attacks that deny sections of the arena (dragoon flame pillars and those little stingrays if too many are allowed to live)
X5-Yea agreed on this one.
X6-Wait what? The only thing hard about heatnix is his stage. The fight itself even with the fire is just all about micrododges and positioning. If the fire was an actual instant kill then I'd say sure, just due to how punishing a single screw up is but with it only doing a little chunk of damage? Definitely have to say Infinity is harder, especially with no weakness where every charge shot makes a clone, and he has a habit of flooding the screen or positioning himself in a way that forces you to hit him as he overlaps with a clone making it hard to really deal with.
X7-Yea, unless you know how to cheese the positioning I can see it. Anteater I found a bit worse due to how he just hid under the stage where you can't deal damage half the time and those laser cannons.... ugh... just.... no....
X8-I really don't remember enough of it to say for sure but definitely remember finding man-o-war to be super easy. The only hard part is just learning the positioning for his overdrive attack. The rest is just keep your distance and only hit when its safe.
Also I know the whole "Anyone who had trouble with this guy is just bad" thing is done for more of a meme effect but just felt really overdone and kind of got obnoxious in this video, especially since a good chunk of the bosses you shoved it in on are the ones that get a pretty hefty difficulty spike without their weakness. Maybe just cut it down to one per list, and on the absolute obvious throwaway choice like Chill Penguin or something?
I think that the difficulty of some of the X4 bosses is different depending on which character you’re playing. As X, I never had a problem with jet stingray. As Zero, I occasionally took some damage.
I sadly gotta disagree with volt catfish being easy.
That might be the case when using the weakness, but without the weakness?
Oh boy its like a free trial of hell
Yeah, that's true. I couldn't fight this guy without exchanging blows, especially while he fires off the dynamos and sucks them up. Then, the final part of the fight when that catfish starts electrifying himself. I found out that like X, he causes quakes, but not in the same way.
It's be neat if there were more footage about fighting the bosses without cheesing them with their weakness, when you are talking about fighting them without their weakness....
Besides that, fun vid
Heatnix is extremely fun to fight but Mijinion is harder to deal with as X
Anteater is legitimately hell and so is Crowrang, the rest are nowhere near as hard, including Hyenard since you just have to avoid triggering his annoying attacks to deal with him
Catfish is definitely tough when oding no damage buster only.
I don't wanna hug an armadillo because they can carry disease, but I'll sub anyway
don't worry he's normal armadillo not diseased armadillo :)
I’ve beaten X3 3 times and I still don’t know how to dodge Volt Catfish’s Desperation attack where he shoots out like 20 electric bolts.
EXACTLY
Hit him with the drill when he hops up to get charged up
I think he causes earthquakes, but as not as damaging as X's charged version unless the sparks hit you or the Catfish himself hits you. I don't know how many quakes he causes.
Another great video man, I'm feeling this one.👍
My therapist: tell me your trauma after playing Megaman X7
Me: Tri formation, Burn Burn Burn to the ground
This video's list was okay. Some of the ones you picked are great picks while others made me question how they got past the scripting phase.
X1.Lanuch Octopus. A fine boss fight, but I think Spark Mandrill is harder because of that damn dash punch he does.
X2.Magna Centipede. Another fine boss that made number 12 on my hardest mavericks list. I think Crystal Snail is harder because he can block your shots with that shell and his crystal blobs are kinda tricky to avoid.
X3.Crush Crawfish. A easy boss once you get his pattern down and the only attack you have to watch out for is that attack where he launches himself towards you.
X4.Jet Stingray. He's one of the easiest bosses in the game and a contender for one of the easiest bosses in the X series. Honestly, Storm Owl and Cyber Peacock are way harder.
X5.Squid Alder. A fun boss once you get his pattern down and when I was making my hardest mavericks list, I was debating whether or not he should go on there before Chosing Mattrex over him. He did make it as a honorable mention tho.
X6.Blaze Heatnix. He's one of X6's many easy bosses and the only attack that's remotely hard to dodge is his fire ball attack where he goes across the screen.
X7.Flame Hyenard. A great pick and on my list, I picked Snipe Anteator over him because of his damn laser cannons. That and because I wasn't gonna subject myself to that kind of torture again.
X8.Gigabolt Man-O-War. A fine boss that isn't too hard to beat. I would've picked Optimic Sunflower or Avalanche Yeti out of X8's maverick ine up.
Snipe Anteator is the Burner Man of Mega Man X series.
- Bad Pattern ✔️
- Lack of creativity ✔️
- Ugly Graphics ✔️
- Terrible Weakness ✔️
- Infuriatingly Unfun ✔️
I remember playing maverick hunter X before the original and after being able to mop the floor with Sting Chameleon first in the remake, fighting him in the original was a rude awakening
Tooterp@ I like this series so far! Amazing Job!
I agree with most of these
What is the exception?
pointless fun fact about Launch Octopus if you knew, you can cut off his tentacles with boomerang kwanger's weapon, it will make the fight WAY easier to the point you can just spam lemon shots
I felt that while a longer fight, Gator was the easiest for me as a kid. I might try doing the others as level 1 X to compare.
For X4, did you factor in Zero's playthrough?
For X6, did you factor in X's playthrough?
"I wouldn't call this guy the hardest maverick unless it was April First" Well, well. How interesting.
The mavericks like Split mushroom are much more difficult with zero. In general, X is only half your game in PS1 megaman x games. Mostly due to tne weaknesses bring shifted to a different ability and the electric saber move not being good on zero (you have to be grounded so its very well useless unless split mushroom comes down on your level)
Volt Catfish is BY FAR the hardest boss in MMX3! BY FAR! I made a video of this and played each Maverick 20 times with the arm cannon only. I found Blast Hornet the easiest.
❤agree
Good to see a young man loving MegaMan that much. Subscribed
I will argue that Jet Stingray was easiest because I beat his ass first when I first play x4 or Megaman in general. Why? As X, you just charge his goons while damaging him along the way. Just prevent him from getting the Sting Ray to get underwater and you are pretty much set. As Zero, oh my GOD that fight as Zero was so easy. Just stay under the edge of him when he's summoning his goons, Just damage him while he's summoning with standard jump slash. You didn't even need to wall jump. I'm talking as the guy who chose his stage first so no weakness.
I agree. Jet Stingray was easiest for me. Always kill him first
Bro has to be joking for calling Jet Stingray the hardest boss in X4 lmao it's so easy to press him compared to some other bosses in the game
Make a "RANDOM mavericks from Megaman X - X8", a video where you just talk about a random maverick from each game
"Burn to the ground!" Lol
Well, the spider from X1 might not be a maverick, but it’s definitely the hardest boss
Not more than the three last bosses from megaman x6 except sigma, Nightmare Mother, High Max and Gate
Storm Eagle is a real challenge if you didn't first get the Dash upgrade first.
I had to use 10 tries to beat the chameleon because I had to use the original weapon instead of it’s preferred matchup
noobs:omg X3 is so hard
me:bro i beat that game when i was 9
(subscribed)
Omg storm eagles nerdy little brother 😂😂 that is hilarious!
For MMX one for me the Armadillo boss is the hardest one to kill even WITH the required weapon needed to it its weakness its spin attack could easily drain 100% of your health to zero in only 2 to 3 hits.
Imo there 2 kinds of lists:
Buster Only and Using Weakness, because "hard" Mavericks become a joke when you use their weakness, like Toxic Seahorse, Cyber Peacock or Burn Dinorex.
I really LOVE to buster only MMx bosses and I play MMx since my Childhood something like 20 years of experience, that being said my list of x buster only difficult is:
1- Spark Mandrill/Sting Chameleon
2 - Crystal Snail
3 - Blast Hornet/Volt Catfish
4 - Split Mushroom/Cyber Peacock
5 - Tidal Whale/ Burn Dinorex
6 - infinity Mijinion/ Rainy Turtloid
7 - Flame Hiyenna
8 - Burning Rooster
Some games I just can't decide :')
If you chop off Launch Octopus arms with the Boomerang, he is really easy.
-Morph Moth isn't that tough but he does BRUUUUUTAL tackle damage and can sometime trap you with his magic dust.
-Blast Hornet is damn-near impossible without his weapon.
ranking blast hornet bellow horse and tiger, this list is a meme
I agree that Magna Centipede is the hardest in X2, but that mainly comes if you try to take him on without Silk Shot. There's a good chance he'll inhibit your actions as long as his centipede tail is on. It can be avoided, but that can be hard if you're not alert. First you lose X-Buster charge, then dashing and finally jumping, and you can eventually shoot only one pellet at a time. Did I get everything?
The funny thing considereing X3 is that here it said Neon Tiger is the hardest. He just happened to be the first Maverick I defeated in X3.
Not in the proper order but yeah, the order of skill disable is Charge, then 3 shots reduced to 1 at a time, then the dash and finally the jump nerf (funny enough, Centipede in Mega Man Xtreme will keep doing the "poison" attack even if he has nerfed your jump, maybe that was an oversight).
Slash Beast and Storm Owl gave me the most trouble on my first playthrough. Jet Stingray is certainly nothing to sneeze at.
congrats for the 1k subs dude
It's amazing how many people forget that you can actually cut off the tentacles on launch octopus with boomerang cutter
Loving your MMX videos, +1 FAN!
you help me beat guts man thank you tooterp your the best
Wow. I agree with every single one of these. I mean, even if a couple of these Mavericks weren't actually difficult their annoyance level definitely got them there.
Thank you Too-Ter-Pee 🙏😄
For MegaMan x4 Magma Dragoon and Slash Beast are actually challenging to beat
I like how you essentially snuck a most medium list in this vid!
I'd argue that Storm Eagle is easier than chill penguin.
For one, his storm tornado doesn't hurt you, it just pushes you.
You can shoot down his egg projectiles.
And if you don't have the dash boots, you can just use good positioning to not get pushed off.
Damn good list...right on point woth my personal list man!
1:38 I've _never_ died to Storm Eagle. Not even on my first playthrough of X1 when I was 13.
Squid Adler is my favorite maverick fight in the whole series. I spent a lot of time practicing his fight till I beat him at level 96 on Xtreme mode with no damage, no armor, and buster only.
3:46 about the projectiles of launch octopus you can use boomerang cutter to make him only use is mini torpedos
"Rainy Turtloid is iconically difficult" is definitely one of the lies of all time
The reason I think X1 bosses are so easy is because this is the only game in the series where dash is not readly available but rather an upgrade. All the 8 base bosses are supposed to be beatable without it(even chill penguin looks to be designed with that in mind). So when you add such a huge mobility, hazards like Storm eagles tornadoes stop being an issue, while otherwise, without dash you couldn't avoid getting thrown around and potentially falling from the ship.
Dude, believe it or not, Gigabolt Man-O-War was the first Maverick I defeated on my first playthrough of X8, his attacks are really easy to predict. The real challenge comes with playing as Axl, since they made the stupid decision to make him stand still while shooting.
in megaman X you are generally pretty damn over powered with the armor, weaknesses, hearts and subtanks.
fighting those bosses without any of that changes the perspective a lot and some actually become real boss fights, pretty much becomes a different game, specially the first 3 games.
When you are too overpowered it's hard to tell the difference in difficulty between them so might aswell try without any of these upgrades and see the difference that way.
you help me beat guts man thank you tootefp
an interesting video here, tooterp. if an X9 was to happen what would be your mavericks and what abilities and weapons would you instill in them?
I Can't Wait to the best and worst weapon for all mega man X game X-X8
I think it would be fun for you to do a follow up where discuss easiest and hardest with buster only and no armour upgrades (except boots in X1)
I died at storm eagle a lot when i did a challenge run of using no upgrades, heart tanks or sub tanks. I saved chill penguin for last so i get the boots much later in game and because of that storm eagle got 10x harder
Hey you did it!!! 10k subrsrcibers!!
I was expecting more BURN TO THE GROUND, but I agree for the x7
Most medium Maverick video when???
Mmx launch octopus 🐙 you can cut off most of his tentacles with the boomerang, making the fight trivial.
i always liked the fight with Blaze phoenix and his stage music as well. However for Blazes boss battle I hate the purple flames as well. and the boss battle cause of them.
Did you judge difficulty of the bosses based on all usable characters that can fight them?
I’ve never heard anyone call Morph Moth’s cocoon a piñata 😂 It’s his cocoon bruh
The most hard maverick to each game to my
Megaman x:launch octopus
Megaman x2:magma centipede
Megaman x3:volt catfish
Megaman x4:storm owl
Megaman x5:axle the red
Megaman x6:infinity mijinion
Megaman x7:splahs warflay
And megaman x8:burn rooster
How do you think your list would change if you added the caveat that you only get to use the X-buster?
I guess we'll see in a future video 👀
Shout-out to X4 bosses for being trivialized by X wall jumping.
For X 1-3 you picked the Mavericks that are on the box. I always thought that was done on purpose.
X1: the optopus
X2: magna centi
X3: volt
X4: owl
X5: the skiver
X6. Minion
Blaze Heatnix over Infinity Majinion is a wild take. Heatnix has always been a pushover for me, with or without weaknesses. As Zero you can just spam the buster and he just dies. With X you can just... Spam the buster... and he... dies... Hmmm...
It's kind of weird that in X6, most of the bosses are easy but the stages are exceptionally annoyingly difficult. I don't recall Blizzard moving around a lot come to think of it.
I will agree that Launch Octopus is the hardest from X1 for the same reasons you pointed out. Same with Magna Centipede from X2.
For X4, I think Slash Beast is the hardest because he has way too many types of attacks, and without his weakness, you'll pretty much never beat him without any sheer luck.
For X5, I agree with you that most of the Mavericks are easy. Duff McWhalen can be challenging if you don't have his weakness. Same with the Skiver since without his weakness, you're pretty much doomed to get pushed off the edge, but you'll have a better chance at defeating him if you play as Zero.
X6 I agree is unfairly challenging in a lot of areas, especially when you're forced to fight that guy with the black armor that seems to be immune to everything!
X7 and X8, I can't really give an opinion on since the games suck so hard I don't even notice how hard or easy the Mavericks are! Though for X8, I may have to give Burn Rooster the award for hardest just because of that escape you have to do at the end of the battle.
My personal top 3 difficult Mavericks from each game, in order of increasing difficulty, without weakness weapons:
X1: Boomer Kuwanger, Launch Octopus, Spark Mandrill
X2: Bubble Crab, Wheel Gator, Magna Centipede
X3: Toxic Seahorse, Blast Hornet, Volt Catfish
X4: Slash Beast, Split Mushroom, Magma Dragoon
X5: Axle The Red, Squid Adler, Mattrex
X6: Metal Shark Player, Rainy Turtloid, Infinity Majinion
X7: Vanishing Gungaroo, Flame Hyenard, Snipe Anteator
X8: Bamboo Pandamonium, Avalanche Yeti, Dark Mantis
I always thought X5 was weird to rank. Duff is not the hardest at first...but with 127 hp in the final stage, his instant kill phase becomes horrible to survive! There have been times where I just gave up and tanked hits standing directly on him during that phase.
As a kid the order I killed the bosses in were.
Chill Penguin
Storm Eagle
Flame Mammoth
I think Boomer Kuwanger, Spark Mandrill if not
Which of the last two it wasn't.
Sting Chameleon
Armored Armadillo
Launch Octopus
I don't remember the X2 order as well. I remember Ostrich was first, then wire sponge, then idk the next four, but the last two was Crystal Snail then finally Magna Centipede. I always had trouble with MC since that tail drain ability he has always screwed me over as a kid. Then one day I found out the trash weapon removed his tail lol.
Yeah can't deny the facts there. If you like MegaMan maybe do the Gunvolt series hardest bosses next.
Funnily enough, I find Neon Tiger far easier than the others. Toxic Seahorse and Gravity Beetle are the ones I have to pay the most attention to. Beetle just taking away the top portion of the room gives me way more trouble than it should.
I personally think the octopus is extremely hard to beat and is (in my opinion) one of the hardest mega man x boss fight.
You can stun lock Wheel Gator with strike chain but it’s basically frame perfect.
I beaten boomer kwanger without damage
Tip: if you fight boomer wanger make sure that you have the dash boots and if he teleports immediately tap B and A at the same time and wall jump and B A same time if you do this you can actually beat him
I hope this help
I still think the camera in X7 is a harder boss than Hyenard. It's less audibly annoying, but makes up for that by being visually annoying.
Ironically enough I go after Wheel Gator first everytime because of his weapon
I'll agree with you on your choice for 8.
I think I died more to Launch Octopus than any other
I'm glad Flame Hyenard was on here
Imagine your first maverick is neon tiger in X3, that's my first experience with X3
Did you know you can remove Launch Octopus' arms and Flame Mammoth's trunk by using the boomerang weapon? I see you knew that on Flame Mammoth's part.
