How to get the Hadouken in Megaman X 

DR. LIGHT: OMG he commit suicide 5 times in a row, I must give him a weapon that can kill everything with one hit or else my reputation is ruin. Good job Dr. Light, we really appreciate your honesty.

pretty cool trick. But how in the hell can someone just discover this? Who thought "hey, I will do this very specific sequence of events, then land on this platform and then jump and fall to my death 4 times, surely something special will happen!"

Fun fact: Megumi Ogata, the voice actress of Makoto Naegi in Danganronpa, is the one who voices X when he says Hadouken.

Meanwhile in 20XX Mega man:uh light what are you wearing

This was one of my favorite games as a kid. I remember reading about that Hadouken Capsule in a gaming magazine in the mid 90s as a kid. But they said it required full heath, full weapons, tanks, and etc... I remember I would always try it for hours and and could never get it four times in a row it without shooting a special weapon or taking damage from one of them damn birds on the last jump or missing the cliff jump, and I thought it was the higher mountain part that was above the correct cliff. Finally have the correct answer after over 20 years 🤦🏾‍♂️😂😂

An extra tidbit: You can do the three deaths routine BEFORE getting every item. After you've obtained every item the Dr. Light capsule will be waiting there on your first run.

Ya know, all the talk about finding the hadouken, i'm wondering who found it. I mean who the hell thought to go on top of the mountain and die 4 times on purpose?

you should have also mentioned that if you're emulating the games such as Wii U or the Wii or pretty much any virtual console will be able to save the game which means you'll have the hadouken no matter what just as long as you save the game using save State (good video)

After i got the Hadouken i was like.... " Oh god... I think i broke the game! XD "

Pretty good man ! ur explanation was the best i found on internet. ! Thumb up dude !

Interesting fact. The password doesn't save the hadouken, but it does save how many times you played though the level. So if you must reget it, using the password you got after getting it will save time. I remember beating and getting everything in all three SNES games everyday after school for three straight years. lol I was obsessed. Now I play them on my phone with a PS3 controller.

No, you need to kill all 8 of the bosses though, so Chill Penguin, Sting Chameleon etc. and have all the armor parts. You don't necessarily have to kill the bat bot, it just makes it easier to gather lives.

The first time I remember seeing this published was in electronic gaming monthly. And since it was published in their April issue, naturally a lot of people assumed it was an April Fool's Day prank.

Oh my god thank you so much. I'm playing the Megaman X Collection right now, and I just unlocked the hunter medal for this thanks to your video. Super helpful. Cool street fighter reference.

You don’t have to die at all. You just need to get all the items and make sure that you reach the end of Armored Armadillo with full life, 5 times.

This is the BEST tutorial I have seen in a long time.

Great video ! I just got the hadouken for the first time thanks to your walk through! Top notch brother cheers!

Thanks dude. This makes it a lot easier to get the. HADOUKEN!

Thanks, dude! I had no idea how to get this until now. ^^

very helpful and thorough! two thumbs up

This is amazing thank you for telling everyone about it :)

Oh wow that's awesome! I think I was way too young when that was in a magazine xD

I used to do this when I was a kid by quitting the level after each time reached the platform. Has no idea I could just die and start from the check point.

Oh that's cool! I haven't played that one but being able to keep the Hadouken on a save does sound nice!

Hmm different way I do it. All I did was have all power ups and armor. All I did is speed thru level and just collect that last energy 8 times without dying and the capsule comes out

THANK YOU, THIS HELPS A TON!!!

Thanks for the guide it helped me alot

Thanks for this I first played this in 1994 plus I got the remake on the psp and on both versions it was in my head that u have to have everything filled up before you get to that ledge

The fact that you didnt dash away from the batonton and to it is so much time added... you dont need to grab the power pellet , it just needs to spawn on the screen lmao

DUDE! Great Video! and I hope you get a ton more views now that this series has been released on Xbox One and PS4. I'm on this level right now, first time playing MegaMan X and have this level as my last level, I wanted to get the Hadoken but the pod wasn't there and I was wondering why. But now I do. Thanks!

Hey no problem! :D Glad this was helpful!

Yessir, you have to get all sub tanks, heart tanks, and upgrades. They are all really useful in the end anyways so I would get them regardless.

i remember getting this as a kid i loved megaman x

Everyone says the same thing regarding getting the hadouken and they’re wrong. You DON’T have to die. All that is required is that you have all the armor upgrades, Mavericks defeated, sub tanks, and hearts. Then you go to the armadillo stage and ride through it 4-6 times (usually 4) and just “see” the ledge. Just get on the ledge and exit the course with the pause menu. You DON’T have to die. Get on the ledge and exit the course.

Man i remember playing this and getting the hadouken. i learned how to get it from a magazine... back when you had to go to the store and read the articles on games without buying it :P . i also go the game right when it came out

I always new there was a secret on that spot and I'm figuring it out now when I'm a full grown man

Thank you so much for the help

Thanks bro it definitely worked

Nice! Thanks for this, Legend!

I heard that trying to do the Hadouken is DOWN-RIGHT annoying(and shoot button).

A hadouken password exists. Using any password that gets you to 100% items, on the password screen, hold L, R, X, Down, Select, and then Start. Since you have to press 'Down' in the code, the cursor needs to be on the bottom left square of the password menu to do it.

Instead of dying I just left the stage and it worked

No way dude I thought this was a joke but o got it >.< thanks 4 sharing !!

Same for any console game, SNES has composite cables so I use a DVR HD capture card.

I just wanted to add that you do not have to have every upgrade first to start the process I thought I had every heart and I did the process every time through and nothing happened so I went back and got the heart I missed in spark mandrills stage, then I went back to start the process again and when I made it to the platform above sparks doors the power up capsule was there with dr light waiting for me in a ken outfit lol I was amazed I didn’t have to do the process all over again after getting the heart I missed!

Thank you very much!

nice, what other kinds of games do you have? And how do you record?

thank you bro ive been at it for like an hour

An alternative to killing the birds is using the rolling shield charge barrier and standing on the left edge of the skateboard so that the miners don't take the shield away.

It was slightly different in Maverick Hunter X for PSP. Thanks for the info!

You asked me to comment. Here's my comment.

Thanks dude!

Best video on the subject

Are you for real?! I always did it by completing the stage 3x's without getting hit. I didn't know this was possible otherwise!

Thank you for this tutorial

Good stuff king!

I never knew this childhood is rewritten

Thank you for big help.

I wish all tutorials were as detailed as this one

MechaMike98 its more or less classified as a 100% bonus so you need EVERYTHING (before sigma)

What if you have all sub tanks, heart tanks, and X armor EXCEPT you have Zero’s arm cannon instead of the Flame Mammoth Capsule. Will it still work? Because I can’t seem to get the Haduken

Old since the 90's every i know knew This. Like the shinryuken in mm X2 XD

This is the most disgustingly convoluted upgrade ever

Mega Man X 2 you get the Shoyoken.

Does having zeros buster upgrade instead of the capsule version affect this?

You don't have to die at the end. Using Escape Velocity to exit the stage works as well.

thank you

You really have a good thumbnail, i suggested you to start your own RU-vid channel

Thanks man

i wonder how many other powerups ive missed in different games

Do you have to have all upgrades and sub tanks to get this or can you get it without them

cool. before I'd complete the entire map all the way to the boss's room and auto teleport, go back into the map another 4 or 5 times and then the capsule would appear on the ledge at the end. I didn';t know about the dying and starting at the check point idea. Thanks..

I have done this 9 times in a town and the capsule doesn't appear for me. I have everything. The only thing o can think of is that I got the arm upgrade from zero so I could get his "re-armed" achievement. Could that be why?

thank you so much man!!! btw i got it on second try after suicide jump (LOL)

I never knew this existed in the game until o watched a 100% play through the other day. Never found it as a kid lol

Does the hadoken upgrade also exist in the Japanese Rockman X?

i remember as a child thinking you had to do it taking NO DAMAGE the entire stage. i practiced until i could do it.

Its just a more detailed explanation, for anyone who hasn't played, but I definitely know what you mean xD

like my old childhood.i get that hadoken.its very hard to all weapons and defense to get.

Had every weapon, every heart upgrade, every tank, did this 23 times and it never spawned =|

It used to bother me up when trying to use the hadouken against Sigma, but unexplainably it didn't work. Just against the boss.

THANK YOU

Thanks!

Thanks For Your Big Help. Yes.

thanks also you dont need to die at the end( i think)

really thanks xD

Haha I showed this to my dad (he has SNES & MMX from when he was a kid, & he was like 'WTF?! WTF?!" HAHA he never knew about it until now!!

Am I doing something wrong?? I have all of dr light's upgrades, all heart tanks, all subtanks and all main bosses beaten. I have been to that ledge at least 20 times and still no hadouken.

Thanks bro

So I'm playing on virtual console I beat all mavericks have all upgrades and went up there,jumped off 4 times came back up and nothing is there

i make all the steps correctly but the hadouken doesn't appears.Why?

Do you have to jump off the skateboard onto the ledge? Or can you jump from below?

Can you still get it in easy mode? I've been trying this 15 times now and cannot get it. Tried 3 different ways. I don't even see that bat. I'm playing on the Apple app version tho.

And what if I died in he process from other things in the process will it not work then ?

Thanks mate

This should be Mega Man X's final smash in Super Smash Flash 2.

does it work on the ps2 megaman x collection

So hold up you have to get the hadouken all over again every time you boot up the game again

What is the button combination to use the hadouken after receiving it?

Hey no problem! :]
