Hello everyone,

I'm new in this site, I rarely join forums but I decided to come here and talk to some fellow X fans as I also rarely get the chance to nerd-out about it with real-life friends.

So, I was about 9 or 10 years old when I owned a Super Nintendo and came across Megaman X in a little castle-themed video game store at the shopping mall and I just couldn't get my eyes off of it. For some reason, the cover art really caught my attention and I would stare at it for several minutes without asking my parents to get it for me as it was really expensive and I was afraid to do so. It was probably about 85 dollars, which at the time, was a big deal.

I really don't remember how or when it happened but I managed to finally get the game. The art, the booklet, the case... It felt so good.

I really don't know what got me so interested in this game, I didn't know anything about MegaMan by then. I was never interested in the classic MegaMan games (and I'm still not but I've played them all anyway because I can't have an opinion unless I have the experience) but X was a different story.

I guess I have to blame it on the cover art... it was the one and only thing that got me interested in the first place.

By the time, I was really young and didn't know much English (I live in South America).... In fact... I didn't know sh*t, therefore, whatever said on the booklet and in the game was just pure nonsense to me, so I played the game relying on my imagination and whatever I saw on screen, which added-up to the whole mistery within it, which felt really cool in a way I must say.

I took the game really seriously, I played it over and over hoping to find new things, new paths, new power-ups and what not... Without the internet, it was really all up to me finding every secret in the game...which was also something I really miss from those days.

Now, Zero, woah, that was a complete different story. His first appearance, the moment he does the sacrifice, and the fact that he only appeared a few times throughout the game made it all feel even more unreachable and made me always want to know more and more! I gotta admit, I spent a long time wondering weather Zero was a dude or a girl! Why did they give him robot boobs in the first place! That was confusing!

Man, I remember all the time I spent trying to find a way to somehow save Zero and destroy Vile but everything was in vain.

When I found out about the hadoken secret (on a club nintendo magazine) I freaked out! There was simply nothing cooler than that! And the whole process you had to do in order to get it made it sound like a simple myth, but no, there it was, X throwing hadokens in all its glory! It felt so good to destroy every Sigma stage boss and Sigma himself with a single hadoken. And managing to destroy the second sigma stage boss and the final sigma form with a hadoken was simply something to feel proud of! Pulling that off was a challenge! No one was there to see my MegaMan skills so I would record my gameplays with a VHS recorder. Sadly, they were all lost in time...

I've played the game countless times, but playing it after I finally managed to understand English was like rediscovering the whole thing. Now that's something most of you won't be able to understand but it's really a priceless feeling of accomplishment.

MegaMan X 1 is definetely my favorite and most valued game in the X series. X 1 to X 3 feel kind of the same to me. I do find X 4 to X 5 quite cool looking and all, but the whole new technology and graphics going on there makes it feel sort of... I don't know, plastic...artificial...distant from whatever the SNES titles made me feel back then. Still, I do understand and agree to the path the series was taking as time past by and new systems came about. I gotta admit, I never played X7 because I never had a playstation 2, in fact, I'm playing it soon as I come across the PC version... it simply didn't appeal to me, there was something weird about it that made me avoid it all this time... but as I mentioned, I can't have an opinion if I don't have the experience.

Now, X8 did indeed catch my attention fully and I really enjoyed it...specially the fanservice/easter eggs teasing earlier X games you could find here and there... I love it when they do that.

X has been really influential to me over the years, both personally and creatively, I honestly can't stand the idea of the series getting ditched by Capcom as the latest news have been insunuating to. But I'm not scared, X is DEFINETELY still profitable and we'll be hearing cool news about it sooner or later.

I personally don't own Marvel vs Capcom 3 (yet) but I'm still REALLY excited about the possibility of somehow making capcom put him as playable character there along with almighty Zero. Now that would be an instant purchase for me.

The D-arts X figures blew my mind. They are the BEST looking X toys ever made and for a really nice and fair price. I'm so looking forward to getting the upcoming models and I'm also hoping they keep on making more figures non-stop! I wouldn't mind getting them all even if I go broke! Besides, they have so many characters and X armor models to make!

I'm living in Japan for the moment so I came across the upcoming Zero figure in Akihabara... Along with many X models posing here and there. I gotta admit, I spent several minutes just admiring the whole thing before it became available to the public.

I'm currently supporting every MegaMan Legends 3 petition and group and what not as I am trully looking forward to make Capcom take us into account and resume their works on the series, but I gotta admit, Legends is not in my priority list...as well as classic MegaMan and any other spin-offs. I'm all about X (and Zero), but I'm still supporting for obvious reasons.

Woah... I really feel like I got something out of my chest...which I've been keeping there for so many years....just...plane talking about my favorite video game character and how I feel about it. I don't know how many people would be reading this, and more importantly, how many would be giving a fu** at all.... but this really makes me feel good as I've been longing to express myself about X for a long time.

Long live X, Zero and the X series!!!!!!!

Bye.

Great story. Come to think of it, there was a moment of looking at something that got me back into playing the Mega Man X games. Over a decade ago, I was usually playing the Classic (3 and 6) and Legends series (1 and 2). However, I cleared the games and did not have much interest in Mega Man games when time went by. I was usually playing fighting games (Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Capcom vs. SNK 2) and Action RPGs (Gauntlet Legends and Gauntlet Dark Legacy) at this point during the 2000-2001 period.

However, I decided to retrace some old Mega Man memories in Mega Man websites years later and found a picture of Mega Man X equipped with the Neutral Armor at the Primrose stage. The white boots of the armor was mesmerizing, especially since I have somewhat of a fetish for white footwear. X's stance in the armor looked cool as well. I later looked up a few Mega Man X8 YouTube videos and the videos looked interesting to say the least. When I decided to buy X8, I played it and enjoyed every minute of it. The most exciting moments I experienced in playing Mega Man X8 include equipping X in the Neutral Armor (in those cool white shoes too), using the Navigators as playable characters (especially Alia and Layer), and beating the final boss on Hard perfectly with all six playable characters. Thanks to these experiences, I have not regretted playing any games in the X series ever since, including X7.

For X7, I heard that the PC has slowdown problems. The PS2 works fine though IMO since I played it. If you want to get the most out of playing X7, you might have to give the game a chance for a while and play it a bit differently than the previous X games in order to appreciate Capcom's attempts at trying different things with the Mega Man X series. I did and I eventually liked X7 oddly enough.

You should also try Command Mission if you have the chance. The gameplay is different from the previous X games, but can be fun when you get used to the system.

That's it... you make it.... you really made me cry... I'm 23 years old fool... criying over a video game.....
I read this forum everysingle day since years.... and your post make me register for the first time....
my life could be shit... I'm alone, every single friend or person I trusted had have betrayed me, the women I used to love and tought it was like my roll of my dreams my whole childhood was a slut and yet... this song.... this only song.... while reading your post... makes me cry....
Yeah... that's how much megaman x means to me.... actually... he was my first super hero... he suffered just like me... and still didn't gave up....
Life could be cruel... everybody could laugh at me or forget about me... but I don't care... as long as I keep hearing this song and thinking about my childhood memories... I'll be okay...

Thank you... Megaman X....

[MaRiOpOkE]

I understand you guys, megaman represents a big part of my life, and i choose this song as what megaman means to me, a friend, a friend who will come to your rescue when you needed the most. :) I also didnt speak any english when i started with the classic series, and went back to play them again whe i learned a bit more xD, even when they updated the text XD i love x1 tru x8 (havent play x7 :( pc version sucks) Right now im planning on buying the toys (D-arts and kotobuyika) but i dont know a reliable store or if im getting a good deal. If one series deserves a conclusion to its story, that will be the X series, why not? battle network had it, ryusei did, zero did, freaking zx too!!! so why not our beloved X. Lets make this happen! we want X9!!!! We want to fight for everlasting peace!!!!

I think X has a lot of potential, but isn't using all of it.

[MaRiOpOkE]

Pontential?????????????????????????POTENTIAL?!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!!
7:54 Duh XDDDD

X needs more spotlight in his games nowadays. Recently he's being portrayed as a whiny jerk. The Zero series' X was probably the best I've seen of him this decade.

Play Irregular Hunter X more.

course he isnt using all of his potential. i cant imagine someone being to utilize their "full" potential when it is "limitless"

That too, was a great X game that came out recently. I almost forgot about that.

[Naitomeruu]

Hm, epic sauce story indeed. 8D Same here. The first ever Megaman game I played is Megaman Xtreme in GBA, when I was in the age of like, 6! And I suck at English back then. I'm Asian! Anyway, X has also been so freaking influential to me. Arr, he made me become aware of my words and get easily convinced by sermons! Anyway, enough with me.

FYI, I also noticed how Megaman X is indeed the most well known and most liked Megaman series ever.... I think if they ever actually continue their cancelled project of rewriting the stories of X1-X6, making Megaman: Maverick Hunter X the re-write for X1, they're gonna earn more than alot! :O

Just like one reply said....


POTENTIAL!!!??? POOOTEEEEENTIAAAAALLL!!!!!!????? *shot*

Duh. xD~ Okay, sorry for being a little off-subject. This is what happens when you watch the OVA for more than 20x and never get tired of it.

[ZeroFangirl Mu]

This post is one of the best I've seen here so far. I've yet to see more, but this is one of those things where I cannot pass up the opportunity to share something that is so meaningful to many; the great Mega Man character X. It got me really thinking on exactly why I admire such as character as well.

First off, I may be a "Zero fangirl" as my username implies. However, at this point of a year and a half after I "discovered" this amazing Mega Man series (the X series) I am now every bit a fan of X as I am a fan of Zero and Axl. (I know the focus in this post is X, so I'll stick to talking about him here as best as possible. ^^)


There is the fact that in battle, X usually hesitates when he is fighting, ponders about how long the fight must continue, and would rather NOT fight at all even though he has the powers and abilities that he possesses. This, we dedicated X fans all know too well and love. But, I believe that this hesitating and aversion to fighting is what also makes him so endearing to me, perhaps to many of us..

He may not be considered as "warrior-like" as Zero, but he is still in every sense a true warrior, facing challenges of almost unimaginable scales, and continuing to struggle with the purpose of his role in the fight for peace.


Built for war... but desiring this peace...


And there is also the "limitless potential" factor as well, which not only applies to X, but can also apply to ourselves as human beings. Oftentimes we second-guess what we can do with our own abilities, and we may never know what we can do unless we try.


I love it when I read about how other people have been artistically influenced by X or the X series! I myself had been in a music-composing rut very early last year, and then when I would come up with something it seemed to have the same sound as the one before. After I got interested in the X series, there were different musical ideas that I wouldn't have thought of prior to playing the games. After learning more about X and Zero's personalities and about the heartbreaking battles they've had to endure over the years, I started composing not just rock tunes, but also things like sentimental orchestral themes that would show their softer side. And then around the end of last year, I started drawing Mega Man X fan art, because suddenly music didn't seem like it was enough to show my appreciation for such a wonderful video game series as Mega Man X!


My last semester at college last year was getting overwhelming three weeks into it, and so I looked forward to playing the Mega Man X Collection just about every weekend, as a treat! I could have tried the games out of order or start the next game before finishing the previous game, but I wanted to play the games in order from X1 to X6. No matter how long it took, I wanted savor the story, the game play and just... enjoy the whole thing as a new experience. And it was one more thing my twin sister and I could share together, and we still do. Something I wish we had done earlier, but, as I look back now, what better time for me to start than the time that I did?


Truthfully, if I never played the X games, my life would be... well, just a little boring, I guess. I mean, I really enjoy anime and all that stuff too, but, I think if I missed out on playing any of the Mega Man X games, it would be like missing WAY out on a whole lot of great story and video game experiences, especially of being a fan of the series. Every time I look at my Bandai D-Arts X figure, and I'm looking at it right now as I type this... it makes me happy. I don't have the X figure in any special pose, he's just simply standing (with the "neutral/normal" face part)... but even that cheers me up in these days and times. It's like he's calmly thinking, "I can do it... I have the potential." Once in a while, we all need to be reminded that there is no limit to what we can do.


Thank you for reading. May all here continue to enjoy the Mega Man X series! ^_^

I think I died and went to heaven- a thread about how much we love X? I'm down!

I grew up on Classic Mega Man. Mega Man 2 was our first and the series just continued from there- and then, 93. X1. I was 13 at the time and life had just taken a serious shift for the crapper- I got molested by a family member, the kids at my school beat the hell out of me and I couldn't tell ANYONE about the stuff going on at home because then the social services would sweep in and split our family up- and our mom didn't make enough to support us on our own so we had to continue to live even with the threat of getting assaulted again by the family members that were doing stuff like that- thus, I latched onto my games like nobody's business.

Mega Man was this little kid.. And that was all well and good and I still love classic and all but.. X was like, the series grew with me. Things were alot more serious than they had been. Same thing for me- as you grow older you get into more problems I guess.

I always liked Zero (and was horribly upset that he died in X1) but X had always been, and always will be, my favorite. X1's ending made me cry and still does. As I've admitted before, I held a pretty stable crush on X that was by-god-I'd-rather-DIE-than-you-KNOW but as time went on and I found other people such as myself that felt the same, I started to accept that part of my fandom. :P To be honest, I still can't shake that. I don't want to, though.. So meh. :P So all's fair. I always seemed to be alone with my admiration of the Mega Man series growing up. Everybody at school was into Mario or Zelda. And being the 'ugly girl' at school didn't help me any. I had no friends and secrets I could not divulge and a fandom I had no one to share or geek out with, aside my little sister, Sam (or as the internet knows her, cosplayer FF7Sam).. And that wasn't any fun either! She, like most other girls I ever knew, thought Zero was a big red dreamboat from Heaven itself! ....meanwhile I was seriously starting to wonder if there was something wrong with me for liking X as much as I did. (in light of the MvC3 polls, I have realized, no, there's apparently NOTHING wrong with me!!!) Of course my parents didn't understand either. Though they tried to keep us happy. It got to one point where when X3 came out, both our Mom AND Dad braved a blizzard to purchase the game before Sam and I got home from school. (We screamed when we came home and found a 'BABBAGES" bag juuuust the right size for a new SNES game sitting on the handle like most girls our age would if the New Kids on the Block showed up to say 'hi' unannounced.) In the end, Mom was upset and pissed that Dad beat her to the punch of getting the game before she could deliver the copy she had bought. If I had known how rare X3 was, I probably would have made her keep it!! But alas, we returned it. X3;; (I think we ended up getting Chrono Trigger shortly after as a replacement to the duplicate X3.)

Eventually I found the magical world of AOL and ROLEPLAY ONLINE. I got into an AOL MMX-based online RPG called WAS (War Against Sigma) and was probably one of the ONLY females in the whole damn thing. I met many, many life-long friends there and it was like a breath of fresh air- all of a sudden I had people I knew that were into the same things as I was! I could tell them what kinda BS I had going on at home and, as much as they worried for me and my safety, they understood why I couldn't go to authorities or tell anyone at school. It was awesome. I even got my first boyfriends there, and all of a sudden I started realizing I was normal like everybody else. I just didn't know any local MMX fans aside my sister. Of course, being one of the ONLY girls in the club meant I was chased by every boy there.. Not something I was used to. We even had our 'Zero' take a stab at it (much to a friend of mine's MASSIVE JEALOUSY- Sadly she was RPing as an OC that was Zero's 'sister' so that meant she was horribly unavailable. Poor gal.) So yah. LIFE WAS INTERESTING suddenly. Of course, now I had a new dilemma- I wanted to be able to gush about all the awesomeness I was having but my family didn't understand. Sam got into WAS a bit but she was unable to RP as much as I was because I hogged the phone line (this was back in the days of Dial-Up after all) and that pretty much stopped her from getting involved as much as I was. Though, she did get me in a big heap of trouble with our Zero by tattling on me when I purposely 'killed' Zero in X3 to give X his sabre. "ZERO, WOLF IS KILLING YOU IN X3!!!!" "WHAT!?!?!? WOOOLLLFFSHADDOOWWWW!!!!" "Damnit Sam, WTF are you doing telling him?!?!?!" "heheheheheheheheheh you did it to yourself!" "God dammit you little--!!"

I guess it was a unique experience. There's not many people who can bring up such crazy memories- playing and goofing off with their childhood heroes. I mean, obviously I knew these were just parts we chose, but in the end, when I think of Zero, I think sometimes of Sam getting me in trouble with him. When I think of X, I think of the huge apple tree and greenhouse our X in WAS had and how sometimes a few friends and I would get lucky enough to be invited there by him. I grew up with these characters. I spent my senior year of high school not as me, but as my character- even to the point where I mentioned my friends from WAS in my year book spot to the shout-outs to my friends- and then scanned the image and sent it to them all via email. X, Zero, everybody was such a huge part of my life- they still are. They got me through some of the darkest times in my life and I will always remain faithful to this series and all the fond memories I have of it- from the games, from the crazy adventures I had in WAS- to the ones I have now in other RP groups with new friends online. It's not WAS, but it's still fun and I'll keep doing it as long as I have friends to RP with. Of course, it has to be an MMX RP. X3 Otherwise, no way!

Just so happy to find this thread. I hope I didn't weird anyone out.

[SantuXD]

Gotta love those little threads with big replies... Guess I'll lay down my memories.

I remember my very first console I ever had, a SNES. For course, I didn't have a huge amount of games, most of them were rented. And one saturday of 1998, I rented Megaman X just to give it a go. At the time I didn't know about the megaman franchise, well... I didn't know about any franchise really (I was barely 5 years old), but that weekend... My god.

I remember my very first time fighting against Vile, I literally thought that if I hitted him enough times he would go down. When he started shooting those trap balls things, shit got real. Of course, I died. Second try, and the balls caught me. When I saw Vile grabbed X, I seriously was like And then Zero came.

Badass theme plays.

And after that, it was an onslaught of crazy enemies, awesome boss fights, and the search of that mysterious Hadouken attack... Man, if it wasn't for my older brother, I wouldn't be able to finish the game. I was seriously a noob back then.

I can still remember Zero sacrificing his life for X, I couldn't simply believe it, Althought I lways wondered how Zero just "vanished" after talking for the last time with X. Oh well. "I hid myself while I tried to repair myself."

SIGMA, was a BITCH to defeat, his dog drained one of my e-tanks, Sigma himself took away 2 tanks, and when I reached (luckily) his final form, I was sweating. I was always aided by my brother many times in this game, but when i was about to face the last form of Sigma, I couldn't rely on him no more, I needed to grow! I needed to win by myself! I NEEDED TO... USE ROLLING SHIELD!? Yeah, I was shocked when I realised that Rolling Shield was his weakness. And so I won the fight as Pinkie Pie, yay.

Staring at X staring at the cliff was simply... breathless. The music, the atmosphere, the message, everything was so good for a simply game. And finally the credits, that charming song, looking at X runnign, reflecting on his past foes, and at the end, his friend. Dash. Shoot. For a rental, it was the most intense weekeend I had in a game.

Of course, while I was on vacation of that year, my cousins introduced me to a certain opposite console, inserted a game of a certain hog in the slot, and well... You know... "S. O. N. I. C. Go!"

Eventually I got a PS1, and for my first games: X4, Megaman 8, Legends 1 and 2. 8 was great, Legends 1 was cool, Legends 2 was epic, and X4 was awesome. The graphics were a superb improvement, the gameplay was keep simple, yet good, and because I was still young, I never cared about voice acting, Zero screaming for Iris after she died made me feel sorry.

BUT, the difficulty, my god, it was HARD. winning as X was equivalent of a silver achievement, but winning as Zero, that deserved a GOLD achievement (but nowadays, I got better).

Later on I got X6, and because I had the japanese version of the game, I was more concentrated of guessing what were the characters saying, than the gameplay. Surprisingly, when I got Megaman X Collection, I discovered the game was harder that X4 (Your reaction: )

Of course, years later I played X7 and X8, but by now, you get the point. Even thought I am a fan of anything else, Megaman X will always stay in my heart as one of those intense games that gives you a "YEAH!" feeling when you pass that hard part. Because of him I got interested in this franchise, I own a lot to X, and I know we all do...

Keep fighting for everlasting peace!

Megaman X had a really big influence on me, too. When I was in elementary school I actually had the chance to play it on a daily basis in the library with a few of buddies before my P.E./Music class. Everyone around me was practically screaming how awesome X and Zero was. Everybody chastised Vile for being a smart ass. The first time I saw this I like "What...? The hero... loses??"
I realized it was a hopeless boss fight. Now my buddies and I started whooping many reploids tails and save humanity. At the time I thought Vile was the real villain. (Students usually got 10 minutes to play this game before going back to class). Despite playing the game on a daily basis at the school I went to, I could never beat the game. This was in Lawton, Oklahoma at Douglas Elementary.

I went home, and I used to pretend to BE X. I bragged to my parents just how awesome he is. He can get new armors, modify himself, fight against characters that are stronger than him and still win... it was the best. I thought about X when I played soccer... did my homework. The game was a motivational peace and a very good influence on my personality. Every time I lost a soccer game, got in trouble, forgot to do my homework... I thought of how X was able to triumph in his situation.

The first Megaman games I ever owned was also Megaman 8, Megaman Legends (the first one), and Megaman X4. My friends and I played those games like crazy on the weekends after our soccer games. So... I played these games throughout 3rd grade non-stop. In 4th grade, the school got a hold of X2! Now was my chance to see what lead up to the events of X4!

In 2001, I move to Germany. I got Megaman Xtreme and the first Megaman Battle Network for Christmas! I kept up with BN series. Megaman Xtreme pretty cool too!
After some few years later... no... 2005, I finally got a hold of Megaman X Collection for the game cube. (I was starting 9th grader at the time). I finally got the chance to beat the game myself. It was SATISFYING. Then I worked my way up X6, only to realize that the entire series were interlinked with each other - making the series THAT much more awesome for.
To this day, I am still a fan, and I wish for Megaman X9 to come out! I was in basic training for the U.S. Army, and I still thought of X to a huge extent, as he has been through the same situation many times! Present day, I still believe that X is awesome character, even at age 21! Megaman X FTW!
