The HARDEST Level from EVERY Mega Man X Game X-X8!!! | Hardest and Most Difficult Mega Man X Stages! 

Who else would like to see him finish the X, X2 & X3 without dashing?

one of the hardest thing in the Megaman X series is the soundtrack🔥🔥💯💯🗣🗣

In X6, Gate stage 2, you can choose Shadow Armor to travel through the ridiculous amount of spikes and skip a few enemies. However, in gate stage 3, it punishes you at the leap of faith parkour because like no armor x, shadow armor x cannot air dash like other armors. So in the end, you had to use Blade/Falcon/Ultimate armor to get through as X. For me in X8, the hardest stages or rather unfair stages are Optic Sunflower and Burn Rooster stage. Sure, Optic Sunflower challenges can be cleared with ease with the right weapon, armor parts or Axl's grenade launcher. What makes it unfair is that every time you failed and die in a parkour section (most notorious is the spike on the floor and ceiling section), it will reduce the difficulty of the next challenges by 1 when you respawn, making it difficult to obtain the Metal Generator or Life tank chip. It is so debilitating that the moment you die, you might as well return to base immediately and start all over again. Burn Rooster had 3 auto-scroller section. The first two are very fast paced. Fall too early before a platform spawns for you to land and you die. Wait too late and the screen eats away your health bar for being off-screen. Sure, using Axl/Pallete to tap fire in mid air can slow your falling but it is a bit too long. Then there is the spikes in the parkour. It is literally everywhere. And the worst offender is the one leading to Dr. Light's capsule. There is spike left and right of the wall jumping but because the spike colour is black instead of grey, it is barely noticeable (even with upscaled resolution in emulation) on the right wall until you take damage with prickle barrier or die. This is the one stage with the highest amount of backtracking. You need Axl to transform into a reploid with hover ability at the end, go back up to get Zero's hammer and then return to the stage as Zero with Gravity Antonion's weapon just to slam a floor. Well, even Bamboo Pandamonium had this issue, especially since you need the ride armor for at least two of the chip upgrades.

His ranking would make more sense in terms of fairness if all stages were judged without power ups tbh.

I've started putting tooterp on while falling asleep and it really does work. The content is engaging enough to shut my brain up, but I'm not so invested that it keeps me awake. A pretty comfy balance, definitely do that compilation to fall asleep to video you mentioned a while back.

for sigma stage one in mega man x, its much easier if you use fully charged rolling sheild for the platforms part

Playing X1 since new, I always got the heart upgrade on Boomer's stage with just the dash boots and brute forced. Neat to know that there is a alternative/designed way.

On X1 Sigma stage 1, if you use the full charge rolling shield to get a shield around X, the helicopter dudes don't affect you anymore, and makes that platforming section so so so much easier

I'd say either Shield Sheldon, Blaze Heatnix, or the Ground Scaravich stages could easily take the top spot. I gave up on X6, its awful. I think its worse then X7. I havent got all the way through X7 yet, but I'd sayFlame Hyenard and Wind Crowrang's stages. With Ride Boarski as a very close third. The final stage kicked my ass in X8, i got so excited thinking I'd beaten it. Then I realized i forgot Lumine. Stupid ohko.

Tooterp could make a "stinkiest stage in every mega man game" video and I'd still drop everything to watch it

I was waiting for this video .

I'd say the Sigma stages are probably the hardest in X1. Honestly none of the regular levels are too challenging. Your supposed to headbutt the rock monsters? I have a hard time finding the will to play X2. I hafta agree on Tunnel Rhino. Storm Owl's stage does get annoying at parts. I'll agree with you on Split Mushroom. Screw you Squid Adler!

As a kid Sigma Stage 1 was hardest lvl because I could never find the Weapon Upgrade for the shield which made the platforming a bitch. Also getting past the spike passage for the Shoryuken makes Sigma Stage 3 the hardest in X2 in my opinion

Whale's stage in X5 is the hardest, I'd argue. Kraken can be learned and is very consistent beyond the boss, just a fine stage overall. Whale's 10 minutes of autoscrolling and midbosses is hell and each fight clutters the screen quite heavily. Scaravich's stage is way harder on Xtreme, as the virus count there is incredibly high compared to Easy/Normal, so there's a big contrast. Gate Lab 2 is very difficult in terms of enemy placement where-as Lab 3 is mostly consistent and simple, but it has way more instant-kill obstacles in comparison, along with Gate's fight being harder than High Max. Also, Nightmare Effects aren't RNG and X3 is the easiest X game. Cool video though.

When he talked about how the hardest part in megaman X is the death pit in sigma stage 1 I TOTALLY AGREE because before i figured out that i could kind of bypass it with the charge version of armor armadillo's move i kept getting knocked off by the stupid spiky fly things and keep falling into the death pit so i once again TOTALLY AGREE

Bro, i recently bought the megaman x collection from switch to play and teach my 10 yrs old kiddo about this saga back in the days, I was freaking out with the platforms at the 1st Sigma stage as you mentioned, but also I was doubting of my skills since I didnt play Megaman X since 1996 hahahaha glad to see I was struggling in a very challenging area indeed, best regards from Panama!

Honestly the wall from X7's intro stage is easy, if you know you can change lock-on targets. Which, if you don't listen to the metal gear style codec calls, you wouldn't know about.

Did a cannonball onto the subscribe button when he said X3 was his favorite X game. Impeccable taste.

I've been watching a few months now, That Naruto reference got you a subscriber sir!

I feel called out because I like to do Armored Armadillo and Launch Octopus stages first before getting the dash boots.

The x6 pick u putted as gate 3 but in reality it is gate stage 2 as u just go from the highmax fight straight to this stage. I agree with the pick but it is still gate stage 2

From what I remember, Mega Man are games you get good at by memory

I never had much trouble with the X games, Mega Man 11 is kicking my ass right now though lol

"I *have* grown up with Mega Man" -Dan Swerdlove

25:14 use Zero and his long blade in the Jakob Elevator and all you need to do is jump and spin attack and you kill every enemy on the screen.

I still think Ground Scaravicj in X6 is the hardest due to the rng rooms and "rng" chances of getting the armor + the music and amount of enemies and nightmare effects. I replayed that stage so many times to no avail. Until a spanish guide reveal that there was a specific route/patter to get the armor, something about dashing to specific totem faces in order.

26:39 the place is wallpapered with spikes but if you can control your fear you can hop over and around them.

Wait the Axl wall cant you press r2 to switch lock ons?

MEGA MAN X5: I felt the Zero battle was probably the toughest part for me.

In X6 you chose Gate Stage 2, not Gate Stage 3, Gate Stage 2 for whatever reason is two levels stitched together. But it is technically one level.

the airship platforms in x7 are the bane of my existence

I like Gygabolt Man-o-war's stage because you can beat him under 58 seconds. Bamboo Pandamoniums stage while trying to get the ride armor to the boss battle can be tricky.

4:34 Hmm, I rarely had any difficulty with the platforms in the first part of the first Sigma stage. I usually just turn on the charged rolling shield and laugh at the enemies that hit it. But without the charge shot upgrade (or if the platforms spawn awkwardly enough), it can be a bit of a pain.

for sigma stage 1, you can dash jump up the wall near the moving platforms and skip alot of the platforms

MEGA MAN X7: I found the fight with RED to be the most difficult part, but the entire game suffers from poor balancing. You need to level up Zero’s special attack and Axl’s RPG launcher first and then spam your way through the game. Then you need to level up AXL and Megaman entirely. Once your characters are 100% the game is EASY. I beat it 10 times.

MEGA MAN ZX: the hardest task in this game was getting the energy tank in the LAVA field Area-K. If not for the fact my computer slowed down to a crawl due to a Chrome memory leak, I’d have never been able to get it. I got lucky.

X6 is the hardest game of any of them in my opinion. Tough, tough game.

Dude, you can press the right trigger to auto aim on different targets in X7. The Wall is cake when you do that lol

X and X2: I totally agree X3: nope, I still go with sigma 3 X4: I had a hard time with the jet stingray’s stage when I was younger, nowadays it’s not so bad X5: yep X6: just pick one, I don’t care, maybe some aren’t that hard just annoying but they all suck. X7 and X8: never played

MEGA MAN ZX ADVENT: this game was pretty easy compared to ZX and the rest of the X games. I collected all 4 energy tanks and though the hardest part is fighting Master Albert/ Ouroboros, I can do it with just 2 energy tanks.

What?! Tunnel Rhino's stage is easy, and it's the first one I complete for the easy E tank and the drill weapon to break the ice blocks in Blizzard Buffalo's stage.

MEGA MAN X6: this ENTIRE GAME is broken. If you cheat and use Ultimate armor, it actually makes the game slightly more fair, but even then the game is still ridiculously hard and suffering from bad design. The “leap of faith” in Gate’s lab can be beaten with a Nova Strike, but it’s nearly impossible to beat with the Shadow Armor. What’s sad is that it’s obvious that the final levels were designed to be beaten using Shadow Armor. Mega Man as a cyber ninja 🥷 was a great idea. But they ruined it with the “leap of faith”. If they redesigned this game and give Shadow Armor access to Nova Strike or his Shadow Giga Attack as a choice, the game would be awesome. Or just take out the “leap of faith” altogether.

I would love to see you play it with no dash boots.

MEGA MAN X4: though this game was generally easier than X3, the Sigma Battle is still the hardest part to me.

9:40 That stage in X3 with the crushing walls nearly made me give up on the game.

I'm always interested in how you will dunk on crystal snail and web spider hahahaha. Also if you use the rolling shield in sigma 1 the flying platforms are cake

MEGA MAN X8: once you level up your characters the game is easy. The hardest level, I feel is Gigabolt Manohar. If you don’t understand how to chase him properly- using boost instead of dash- you’ll lose over and over again. The rest of the game is a breeze- especially if you use Zero and all his weapons.

Great list

MEGA MAN X2: for me it’s the Zero-Sigma battle. Gotta have all E tanks.

I did not know that Bit was weak to the ice shield move thingy in x3. The more you know

The hardest levels are all the ads you gotta sit through in these videos.

I haven't beaten X2, or X3. They are SO freaking hard!

MEGA MAN X : for me the most difficult part was the entire SIGMA BATTLE. Without the full complement of E tanks I can’t do it.

For me Wheel gator stage is the hardest of X2 Kill that b....WITHOUT ARMOR is kind of a pain specially for beginers who plays X1 as his first megaman Mandatory wall slash, tons of damage if you touch him.....I have a friend who drop megaman x2 because that Also for me the hardest snes X game In X3 the boots are in blizzard buffalo stage and that grants you with a great advantage in combat In X2 you start with NOTHING. Tanks hidden with malice, armor set with an obligatory boss battle, and the containers ......OMG THE F.....container of that snail stage and his diabolic "double mech--jump milimetric miss f..... step 😭😭😭😭😭 Like your video buddy Merry xmas!

22:58 there's a button to switch targets.

20 years ago I used a password generator to get the heart and completion of Chill Penguin so I could skip boots entirely. No one is going to fault me for skipping the hardest boss, right? Climbing the tower after killing Vile sucked. Oh, and there's only one jump that you can't do, but it's fortunately in Sigma 2 - so after Zero gives you the free arm upgrade to charge the ice up. Now that I think about it, I'm surprised the game didn't crash or show random memory locations as pixel data when I beat it. The ending sequence where it lists the characters, it finishes with X dashing. If you don't have the boots, he has no legs. Interesting take, but I disagree with the approach. I think it'd be best to rate levels based on how bad does it feel when going to it immediately after the intro stage, completely naked and broke - at least for the maverick stages. I say this because they are put together with a minimum level of power in mind (in theory) while the gear you acquire is meant to make them easy to show the progression of the player's power.

Wonder what the hardest stages will be with no upgrades be like

Sounds like you may want to play through each level without upgrades, then make your judgement. That method would eliminate the "experienced gamer" aspect.

Title: the hardest level in all megaman x games. Most used word in entire video: easy.

Nobody can beat X1 without the dash boots. It's impossible. If you did it... wow.

regarding mmx1, i hate doing flame mammoths stage if i haven't beaten chill penguin first, it's so much more difficult without dash boots and the lava, granted that's just me i suppose

X1 was the best. The games got progressively harder as the series progressed. Loved them all.

I personally wouldn't go with Sigma Fortress stage 1; considering that you can use Rolling Shield's charged form to protect yourself on the floating platforms. Sigma Fortress stage 2 is more difficult.

I agree that X4 is the easiest of the series, even an armorless X run is doable because of Lightning Web. Final Weapon Stage 2 becomes harder without the leg part.

Hey how was your holiday ? Hopefully it was good.

23:41 Get me out of Neon Hexagon Land!

Definitely I love it 🔥

X2 intro stage is the hardest for me, bacouse I have to see Green Biker Dude dies. 😢

i remember x3 feeling much harder than x1, my vote for hardest level is prolly launch octopus. oh right sigma 1, i find it easy with the octo shield the robots just blow up when they hit you

Lasers :( It took an entire month btu I'm finally caught up on youtube from ebing gone for like 10 days

I'd say Mega Man Zero are the hardest games in the series. Makes sense especially considering the Mega Man world in-universe is at its worst during those games.

It'd be awesome if you made castlevania content.

21:35 GATE as a boss is horrible. Jumping around above a bottomless pit trying to hit his energy balls is ridiculous.

Maga man x3 is also my favorite and I go first to turnnel rino stage

I’ve never seen someone do wall jumps in sigma stage 2 in mmx3

0:51 look how many comments have I put to making the hardest level from every mega man x game video after the most beautiful maverick from every mega man x game x-x8 the best song from every mega man game 1-11

X7 and X8 reviews + axl's stupidest, best, and worst weapons pretty please

Kay, now do Mega Man X: Hard Type (ROM Hack)

MEGA MAN ZX: the hardest part is figuring out the Goddamn map. 🗺️ If you can deal with that, I’d say the hardest possible part is fighting OMEGA Ω model OX.

0:00 the hardest level from every mega man x game x-x8 27th December 2023 easiest level from every mega man x game x-x8 25th December 2022 SIUUUUUUUU

Now do the Zero series

You missed out many levels but I can clearly understand it. If you missed a stage, it's because they're downright easy.

Megaman x5 hardest stage is tidal whale stage because you can die of old age waiting for that fucking autoscroller

Odd question but I detect a hint of an accent. From where do you hail, friend?

The hardest level is the first sigma level from MMX1, where zero passed away. It's so hard to get over his death. But as he dyes every time, you become used to that anyway...

Imo the og megaman & zero series are tougher than the X series.

Yeah I am not a speed runner but I will generally do a MMX playthrough every few years since it is one of my favorite franchises and I always mix up the bike stages from X4 and X5. I will freak out on Jet Stingray and then think, "Oh, that wasn't so bad. I've really grown as a gamer...". Then X5 comes around and I say, "No wait, this is the one I hate!". There is just a stunning lack of polish after X4 IMO like devs just stopped giving a shit about the series.X6 in particular just takes a "Fuck it let's just kill them" approach which seems vindictive (Donuts I'm talking to you!)

You doing the speed run up the vertical spike walls looks cool, and also rage inducing. Glad it's not mandatory.

MEGA MAN X3: hardest part for me was the Sigma battle.

Grrrr these levels are hard

Seriously? The opening and first stage of Sigma's fortress is the hardest? Use the fully charged Rolling Shield for the barrier and those flying enemies literally can't touch you, which allows you to just focus on the jumps. Yeah, it's still a little hairy, but Storm Eagle's stage is about as bad.

Megaman Masterpiece

You misnumbered the Sigma stage in X3. It's the second, not the third.

It’s impossible to beat the mega man x series without dashing

None of the Mega Man X levels and bosses are hard if you play the game in a specific order. I will agree that the Sigma Stage 1 in X1 is annoying. The Jet Stingray stage in X4 is only hard trying to get the upgrades. Squid Adler's stage in X5 is annoying; especially trying to get those blue orbs. Blaze Heatnix's damn doughnut boss.... 😡 X7 is just a mess. Having those saves those characters, Ant Eater's level when it goes upside down is annoying. Crimson Palace 1 is annoying too for sure. That X8 Moon Base level is annoying.

Mega Man X3 was a pain to play

@Tooterp I hope you're doin fine. You dont look as good as in prior videos... But good Vid - Keep up the Grind, Mate :>

I like Squid Adler's stage,you just lack finesse Tooterp,that's all. I respect you but you just lack finesse.

Overdrive Ostrich stage is lots of fun. Damn, Bubble Crab's weapon is so pretty.

22:35, skill issue, you can manually change targets with autoaim using the shoulder buttons, the game literally tells you how to do it in the manual and you got a hint in the room to remember the player how to do it.
