The DEFINITIVE Guide to Mega Man X1 | All Items & Upgrades, Least Backtracking
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 апр 2020
- To kick off my return to Mega Man, I thought it would be interesting to take my "least backtracking routes" from the old MMX Reviews, and make dedicated videos out of them. Starting with Mega Man X!

I like it, it shows you the most effective way to get everything. Would love to see X5 and X6 guides.
X5 will be fun

6:44 "otherwise he's a tough nut to crack"
I see what you did there J, if only the ds's compression was here...
6:45 J is the hunter from ZXA's opening confirmed
Well how's that lock coming?
Yes! Got it! We're in!
I was hoping we'd find it on the first try,

Robin lol
The chad backtracking order vs the virgin weakness order
The chad least backtracking
i do weakness, honestly dont care about being a chad, its just fun making the bosses suffer with the weaknesses
Can you not get the Ryu blast (can't spell name) in the legacy collection?
Damn capsule won't come up!
@@nicholasboatwright5407 It's still in there
@@SegahSonic1996 poor excuses.
For those looking for an extra challenge, you can obtain Boomer Kuwanger's Heart Tank without the charged shotgun ice by performing an *extremely* precise dashing walljump
I have done this and I hated it.
Speedrunners call this "Iceless"
I have tried it and concluded it effectively impossible. If you can do it, it's *EXTREMELY* precise to the point of being irrational to attempt.
@@GordieKat Watch this ruclips.net/video/cAoRh0CRr4I/видео.html
the dash jump needs to be frame perfect, or it won't work
Wow, and I have never strayed away from the weakness order until this video. Next to no backtracking feels so satisfying after defeating bosses out of order.
It's nice to see J make more mega man videos.
The guy is an absolute *mad lad*
edge lord hi again home dog
5:22 - the Pattern is not random.
When you descent, while jumping (or falling) the boomerang goes down.
When you stand still, walk or dash, ascend (while jumping) the boomerang goes up.
he's trying to make a guide and doesn't know the basics xD
@@BuruKyu it's not like that knowledge is REQUIRED to make a 100% guide on this game but ok
@@ravioli4601 that knowledge is required to get upgrades so... yes, it is
@@BuruKyu no it is not. The player will eventually mash away until they get the sub tank. You don't need to know how to aim the boomerang cutter like that. It's like you didnt even watch the video to see how J did it
@@ravioli4601 yeah if you're dumb as fuck and don't realize you will eventually get it, but you will be still an idiot
Kuwanger stage theme is the best of the Best in the whole series in my heart
Here's a question. You said in your MMX review that doing certain stages would affect other stages? What was the effects?
Edit: Never mind, you covered it. Thanks.
I am pretty sure all of them were mentioned in this video. But, if not, Chill Penguin freezes the lava of Flame Mammoth, Storm Eagle causes a power outage in Spark Mandrill's stage, and Launch Octopus floods the forests of Sting Chameleon.

Great video, Js. I remember getting this exact order from you after the first time I beat Mega Man X.
Great video! So many great memories playing this game. I always had to have my older sister beat sigma at the end even though he's kinda a pushover. Just so intimidating.
Quick hint: you can destroy the floaty boaty thingy in lunch octopus' stage (7:16) with one shot if you use the tornado weapon.
This was more than excellent! Thank you so much! Keep doing it with all MMX games. Have a great weekend, man.
It's great to see you be enthusiastic about mmx again. Can't wait for more of this type of video!
You should definitely continue this series. It's really informative and useful!
How often do you 100% games out of curiously?
@Kyle Campbell, Ab twice a week, thanks for asking
John Johnson I was asking J
this made me wanna replay all the megaman x games. starting with maverick hunter x tonight ! thanks for this guide
i was literally like 10 years old playing it on my older brothers consoles, so it’ll be nice to actually understand it now at 21
x6 sounds painful tho
There is going to be no defenitive guide to X6 becasue the game is RNG!!
Well yeah. X6 would still be complete torture regardless though.
Not to mention the appropriately named Nightmare system making the order you have to play in random. Nobody completes the stages with the darkness effect active.
@@GordieKat I know. I played through it again recently and I ended up doing my run through rainy turtloids extra area with that effect on. Absolute torture. I lost track of how many times I died.
This was awesome. I loved MMX as a kid and I had no clue that stages interacted so much with one another.
I'd definitely like to see you do this for the other X games. At the very least up to 4.
I might be more than a few months late for this, but I honestly think this format is _awesome_ and should definitely continue in the future! X3, despite having some awesome upgrades, is a chore to get through considering backtracking and whatnot. Plus I never got the gold armor because I didn't know how to get a specific upgrade without using the upgraded foot parts. I seriously recommend continuing this because it would be super helpful, especially in the future X games.
I like this new type of videos, very informative and gives new players an easy ride through on their first playthrough
Thanks for this!! Mega man x for snes has always been my favorite game. I’ve never completed this game until now. Also saw your guide on X2 and X3. Awesome
Please do more of these! I’ve been replaying the X games again and I’d love more of these for X2-5
@3:23 - To me, this is the most challenging task in the game. But thank you for creating this video and showing us where to find everything.
Excellent video! I hope you make more of these guides!
Excellent guide my man. Legit used it to beat mega man x for the very first time, hope you got guides for x2 and x3 cause Im on to them next.
I just bought the mega man x legacy collections 1-2 so I got all 8 games now and this guide helped a lot I’m finally finishing my first complete playthrough of the the first one
Thanks for the guide man! Really helped with my first MMX playthrough :)
Keep it up man! This series is fun and informative. Please continue and do X2 (my favorite one)
Glad to see your back playing megaman
Sweet video! A strategy guide video is a great idea! Coincidentally, I was just playing X1 last night! By the way, I also use the same boss order to go through the game!
Dope video, thanks for sharing! I usually use Boomer Kuwanger’s weapon on Launch Octopus because it cuts off his tentacles and limits his move set
This video was really good to watch! Please make more!
Thank you for bringing me back to the early 90's at my grandma's house playing super Nintendo on her aux tv this is the first game I beat
J I have been asking for these forever. Thank you so much!
This is an amazing order, and I'm definitely interested to see what orders you have in mind for the other games in the series.
Here's my order of how I play the mavericks and get all the powerups if you're interested: Chill Penguin, Storm Eagle, Flame Mammoth, return to Chill Penguin for the heart tank, Launch Octopus, Sting Chameleon, Boomer Kuwanger, Armored Armadillo (I go buster on this dude for the challenge), and Spark Mandrill.
Is it possible to get hadoken before beating armored armadillo if you have all of the tanks and parts?
Definitely a fun video brother. As long as you're enjoying it I think its a great idea to keep building up the Mega Man content on the channel.
But I do want those Mega Man 1-6 reviews at some point lol. Just don't want you to get burned out again.
I liked this idea man! I always love your megaman videos!
This game is so fun to speedrun. That route is called "Icefull" except for one change, you get the penguin heart after chameleon to use the invincibility to go faster.
If you can do the "Iceless" jump, the route rotates a bit, but it's not worth learning unless you speedrun the game.
Does getting the arm upgrade early lock you out of the re armed achievement on Legacy Collection?
Great guide man exactly what I was looking for
Oh sweet, I just recently picked up the Mega Man X Collection and was in need of a 100% guide. Thank you very much
PS2 Collection or Legacy Collection?
@@smashmaster521 Legacy
Damn this helped me alot I'm only 13 was interested in this franchise from your videos and bought this on the 3ds vc cause I don't want the xlc unless I really like this game which I do and I'm bad at finding secrets and this guide helped me beat this game and it's also the first mega man game I've ever beaten
I usually go Kuwanger second since you can get the heart tank without any upgrades, you just need a dash jump and a little bit of precise timing, but this is probably the most optimal route for fun.
Amazing vid, keep up that good work J 😄
This is nice to know. An X3 video like this would be cool.
mega man x content by J has finally returned??? Great day indeed.
This was the first game I ever 100% completed. Not with this method, but it helped me later. Thank you.
Thank you so so much!!! I'm new to megaman x !!! Just got it today ( collection 1) this game is brutal ,I'm struggling
I never would have guessed that the flammable containers in Storm Eagle's stage could be taken out with the lemon shooter.
J do you think the next legacy collection will be the legend games including the side game?
This was very useful please continue this series
I love the sound bite for X's Hadouken
Thanks for the video dude, one friend is playing this game for the first time, so I'm gonna send it to him
I have a problem with armon armordillon last capcal I died 5x and it did not appear
I forgot why i subbed to this channell... now I remember, mega man x lolllll.
I this actually taught me something I never knew(how you can shoot the flame things with the buster to get the helm) thanks, next time I play X1 again I'll use it to cut the back tracking
Have you tried fan patches for the Mega Man X games like X5 Improvement Project Addendum or X6 Tweaks which fix most of their prominent issues?
thanks, your series made me finish mega man x3 in one day only
Definitely found this enjoyable to watch. Even though I know where everything in X1 and how to effectively get it I still do the boss weakness order because I don't mind back tracking in this game too much. I'd love to see more of these kinds of videos.
Think you might do this for the later X games like 6? Or even the Megaman Zero games?
Backtracking isn't that bad in any of the first four X games. But each of them can be completed 100% with only one revisit. Hell, you can get everything in X2 without any backtracking if you use the slope glitch, and Zero doesn't need to backtrack in X4 either.
However, X5 requires five or six revisits.
I really enjoyed this video and would like to make a suggestion, a video explaining Mega Man Zero's ranking system/optional difficulty kinda like what you did with MGS
Can't wait to see more videos like this in the future
Every time I’ve played these games for the last 4 years I open these guides
The Boomerang Cutter is not random. It goes into an up or down arcdepending whether you move upordown while shooting it off.
This was great, keep going like you said you might!
I have a question: about the shoriuken , is that a mod or is part of the game?
Great video and I love the concept and format, but I'm curious about why you chose to not mention the fortress bosses? I feel like strategies for fortress bosses would be one of the most helpful bits of info in these games as their weaknesses are seldom as apparent as the 8 stage bosses might be.
Edit: With the boss fights, I mean aside from the comment about timing the Hadoken accurately. Tips about actually fighting them might be helpful.
Again, just a thought for future vids. Great job, and I'm so happy to see more MMX on here.
Good Run, can't wait to see more! Don't forget; when you do MM;MHX Zero's Buster Upgrade is very different & more powerful imo
I'm actually revisiting x2 currently. Would love to hear your tricks for that one next! Also, did you know in Maverick Hunter X that Zero's buster upgrade is stronger than lights? That and how boomerang cutter makes launch octopus and sting chameleon even easier?
Keep it going! Loved it
Hey j have you played rockman x dive and if you have what your opinion on it
Hello! I really found this video pretty awesome. I know getting through an x game as fast as possible haz been a thing for a long time now, however, when I play I just play. & It's fun! But I really thought your strategy was awesome. I'll try it in the future. I'd love to see move of what you have to say with this format!
Great video, I really want to see your X2 one so I can plug my old SNES and play once again X2....
Now that I think about it, I wanna have the X trilogy for my SNES collection
If this does continue into X2 (my favorite) I'd make sure you include most of the neat little tricks you can do to nab powerups. Obvious ones include how to get the arm parts without the leg upgrade using strike chain, and how to grab the sub tank in bubble crab with that nifty little slope jump trick. Some more advanced stuff I'd like to see at least mentioned (if not demonstrated because they can be tricky) would be getting the arm parts without ANY weapons or powerups, or how to get the heart tank in morph moth without crystal snail's weapon (requires you to have the arm and leg parts and do a neon jump).
I realize those are trickier ones that are hard to do, but I feel that at least bare mentioning as I would have liked to have seen tricks like ice-less (getting the heart tank from boomer without his weapon OR ice) mentioned in this video.
Great stuff!! I actually didn't know damage improves with dashing....
Good video & format; good luck with X: 5-8 as all of them are a pain to 100% as u need to do each stage at least seemingly twice & that's with optimal runs
This is totally useful and should continue to at least X4.
Also, for completion's sake: the mini-boss in Sting Chameleon's stage is vulnerable to Boomerang Cutter.
That said, I agree that Storm Tornado is the better choice. It may only do two damage per hit (the mini-boss has a total of 64 HP, btw!) but it's more efficient than firing off Boomerang Cutters (or charging it).
Much appreciated J!
This help me so much thank you dude
I apreciate your work man, thank you so much
I’m looking forward to whenever you get to X3 because I find 100%ing that game with minimal backtracking is extremely difficult because I hate fighting the X3 Mavericks (looking at you Blast Hornet) without their weaknesses.
Hey mr J could you please review resident evil 3 remake?
Im kinda mad because of the cut content and the high price (60 $)
Not a regular viewer but I stumbled across this video and wanted to ask about the one game that has always seemed like it was *designed* to force you to backtrack: Mega Man X3. For years this game has stumped me. I can minimize revisits in all the games but just cannot figure out X3. If you have an answer it would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, I do. Since I don’t plan on making that video anytime soon, I’ll give it to you now. Start at Tunnel Rhino’s Stage and get the Sub tank, then go to Buffalo’s stage and use Tornado Fang to get the heart tank, get the foot parts, and use those to get the sub tank. Then go to Blast Hornet, get the ride armor, and the heart tank, beat the stage, go to Neon Tiger, get the sub tank, the arm parts, and the heart tank. Go to Toxic Seahorse, get the heart tank, get the ride armor with a charged frost shield, go to Gravity Beetle, get the heart tank and ride armor, go to Volt Catfish, get the heart tank, body parts and sub tank, backtrack to tunnel rhino and get the heart tank and head parts. Go to Crush Crawfish and get the ride armor and the last heart tank. Bam, done. And The Gold armor will be waiting for you in Doppler 1.
@@JsReviews Thank you!
I personally go with Flame Mammoth's stage as the first pick, as crazy as it might sound. That stage and boss are pretty straightforward and easy even without the leg upgrade. Also, you get the heart upgrades in Chill Penguin's and Flame Mammoth's stages, respectively, almost immediately after. That and also, I prefer playing through the stages in their original states, that being Flame Mammoth's stage is drastically easier after you defeat Chill Penguin. Other than that, I go with the usual weakness order since the amount of backtracking is pretty non-existent.
Hey is it just me or does MegaMan X say cookit when you use hadouken
I'm looking forward to X6. Though the game is flawed as hell, experimenting with the chips is a blast.
X6 will be the nightmare (pun intended)
Thx
I always wondered how long one can advance without the boots updrade
This order here is actually close to the order I tackle the Mavericks in. And, it's actually kinda funny to me how the first 4 Mavericks in your order (Chill Penguin, Storm Eagle, Flame Mammoth, and Boomer Kuwanger) are my top 4 favorite Mavericks in X1, and the remaining 4 in the order (Spark Mandrill, Armored Armadillo, Launch Octopus, and Sting Chameleon) are my bottom 4 favorites (but, not in those orders). And, actually, the weakness of Sting Chameleon's mid boss that guards the Armor upgrade for the first armor is the Boomerang Cutter. Because I played Mega Man Maverick Hunter X as my first ever Mega Man X game, I remember Storm Tornado shredding that mid boss, as well as the first mid boss of Launch Octopus's stage easily, but not the case for the original X1.
Interesting video man!
Nice video! Can you please also cover side effects from weapons on bosses? Like boomerang cutter on Flame Mammoth's nose. Or sonic slicer on Wire Sponge. Never saw a tentacless Octopus. It's a cutter's job too?
Do it for rest of the series to help every newcomer since I remember myself reaching a good guide for the collectables back then.
~Yes even for X6 I dare you!~
Boomerang Cutter's behavior is not random if you're in the air. If you're ascending in a jump, it flies up. If you're descending, it flies down.
When you get to X5,X6,X7,X8 will you base your videos off of normal or hard mode?
Definitely normal for sure.
Did you know that the ass load of extra nightmare viruses in X6 Xtream mode lead to the player collecting way more nightmare souls? For the ultimate cheese strats, play as black zero on Xtreme mode. By the time you get to the Gate stages you should have at least 4 chip slots open (including the one in the middle that has the health recover chip). Then switch to Normal in the options before playing the Gate stages. Your chip slots will carry over since X5 and X6 don't have dedicated difficulty files. Now you no longer need to fight Dynamo 10 times to get a good chip set up.
I would slightly alter this order as far as "least back tracking". Sart with Flame Mammoth then Chill Penguin, allowing you to get the heart and toast penguin quick. Do Storm Eagle next getting all pick ups. Now back track to flame Mammoth to get the three pick ups....its technically quicker because it takes longer to back track through Chill Penguins stage to reach the heart...(plus its cool to get to see the before and after of Flames stage as a result ) cheers!
Thanks for the new route. Now I don’t have to do the weakness method
Huh, i never thought about doing Boomer Kuwanger right after Flame Mammoth, maybe because i'm too used to how that fight plays out with his weakness, nice find, i'm gonna try that the next time i play this gem.
But hey, my order was pretty close.
It's impossible to get the jumping one. I always hit the outer block and then fall down because of the poor design for busting the blocks. I clearly see you getting it, but I've tried dozens of times and can only break the one block. I'm not really sure what to do. Maybe because I'm playing the switch, the controls are not as good?
As a 7 year old the soundtrack is so amazing. Zero, Demo, Storm Eagle, Spark Mandrill, Boomer Kuwanger
