You don't know grinding in a video game until you've hopped up and down that tower for hours waiting for the bugs to come out so you can fill up your extra health tanks, only to die on his second form and have to do it again.
I usually fill the energy tanks in Armored Armadillo's stage. Just keep killing the enemies right at the start of the stage and they'll keep respawning. Even occasionally drop lives too.
Fun Fact: In math, Sigma is used to indicate summation, or adding everything in a series together. In that sense, Sigma kind of lives up to his name: you beat him using the summation of everything you've been doing the entire game.
I once derived a formula of something where I had a product symbol inside a summation symbol. That actually looked pretty amazing, I had never seen an equation like that before.
@@emptygamerandanimator7529 really? Just for bosses, or do you mean for stage navigation as well? For stage navigation the Storm Tornado is my favorite
I'm playing this game for the first time. I really suck at Mega Man X. I'm enjoying the game, but holy crap... the Sigma levels and his boss fight are balls hard. Save states have been my best friend. My reaction time is not quick enough for some of this stuff.
I just finished the game and I gotta tell you, my right thumb feels like it went to the gym by itself. Holding the x buster while also jumping trying to kill those bugs to fill my energy tanks really feels like a workout.
I know that feel bro, I actually had to play holding my controler in an arcade style, using index finger to attack, middle to jump and ring finger to dash. Still, my left thumb is in hell.
6 years late but you're slow Why didn't you use Armadillo's charged power to make an energy shield to farm the bugs? I did it that way and it was faster and cheaper than jumping and shooting, work smarter, not harder
I know right!!!!!!!! The Golden Hawaiian Swordsman Dragon was born in January 1992, 1 year before this now GOLDEN retro game was released. Now watching it in July 2023, I'm still a hardcore fan of this classic game!!!!!!
This does not work at all. Sigma frequently knocks you off with his other hand if you're standing there. It does it over and over for me I'm convinced he's glitched sigma into thinking he's not standing on his hand. This is all luck
Truthfully, I hear people complain about how hard x3 was but the first mega man x was the hardest. For all these years I could never beat wolf sigma but tonight I finally did. He was easy in maverick hunter x of course, that game was way easier than the original I got x2 end 4 to beat now in the legacy x collection
I like this, man! I like to show people how the game is, and there are no videos about it, they're just Speed Runs or..perfect kills, nobody can see what really happened (I'm talking about the one who had never seen the game before). Really like your gameplay!
I was so happy someone could finally show me what happens when you beat this guy. The other comments about spending hours blowing up the little bugs to recharge the E tanks, was exactly what I did over a summer only to be defeated by the second head stage. It never occurred to me as a kid to jump on one of the hands as it floated down.
Thanks for not being like every single asshole who uploads this battle who beats him with zero damage. Thanks for letting us see what the boss can actually do 👍
AND THAT'S how the Maverick Wars & the Sigma Virus began, as well as how X the Blue Bomber & Zero The Red Swordsman started to make their reputation as the 2 strongest and MOST BADASS Maverick Hunters be known!!!!!👍
The first time I beat the game. I only used the X-Buster. I was dashing, jumping, and holding the X-Buster throughout the whole game. Years later I only learned you can use the rolling shields to inflict more damage. I had no internet or UA-cam to figure it out. Lol
Speaking of this character, one time at recess we were playing a game based off Mega Man X, and then I said, "Where's Sigma?", (or something like that) One of my friends said "SIGMA? I WILL MURDER YOU" Capcom, you shoulda come with another name.
I would say a win is a win. I could never beat this game and doing a little research before I try myself to reclaim the glory I could not get as a child.... I will return and let you know how it goes.
Only ever play x4 as a child. It was challenging, but THIS people, THIS is fucking insane. I'm fighting Sigma right now, and the damn bastard is a though one. My fingers hurt LOL
I tried to take a look here in YT if I was doing it correctly the first time of my attempt... Now I've confirmed I was doing the right thing after all. Thanks!
Like Megaman did in the video comments, I was reffering to the Final Destination joke, I was assuming everyone was aware of it when I typed the comment, apparenly some don't...*Sigh* It wasn't meant to be a serious comment. >_>
Lol, the wall jumping in the beginning reminds me of Samus wall jumping in Super Metroid. God, you could get a bunch of stuff that you weren't expected to get by using the wall jump... XD
Hey Megaman765, can you predict the future? Because you play so good, you almost know what an opponent is going to do. You're like, awesome. Keep up the good work. :D
crap wish i would've watched this before i turned my system off and swore never to try Sigma's stage again! that final form will eat my cheese someday! my hand hurts.
The biggest difficulty spike in an action game ever. Died like once or twice getting here. Took over 25 attempts just with the third form alone. Part of me is glad gaming has progressed beyond things like this tbh. I didn’t get any satisfaction from it...more like a “thank fuck I don’t have to do that again” feeling. Also- the grinding is dumb. This isn’t an RPG- there could’ve been a room full of pickups and nothing of value would’ve been lost there.
that's just wrong imo. first of all, i thought the "final form" was really hard simply because some ppl said so, but it was pretty easy when i played without thinking about that & learned the pattern (like any megaman boss). second, there's no need for grinding
I beat Sigma at least once over 10 - Years ago, and I beat Maverick Hunter X several times. Sigma is such a pain in the Ass to kill in classic X. I’m to where saying once is enough.
That's how I've always fought stage 2 as well. It takes the longest, but once you get it down right, you'll leave that fight without taking any damage. Every other method I've tried just seems suicidal

@@Dr8cul4 how the hell did I meet you here now?
No literally lmao. People need to respect the original Sigma
People keep saying that this player sucks,they don't realize that he used the x buster instead of the special weapons.
I actually find x-buster to deal more damage than the other weapons....
I did it on Sigma 2nd phase and still only got 1 hit damage.
Besides weaknesses, the X.Buster is (in my opinion) the best weapon.

Man I hate bosses who jump to your face and abuse the touch damage especially in games where you aren't equipped with any close combat weapons.
*Cough Cough Vile Cough Cough*
@@plimpten Slash Man, Bright Man, Shadow Man, Drill Man, Charge Man all come to mind.
@@1bosstv especially charge man.
To be honest, I didn’t even know you could use the buster on the final form. I assumed Rolling Shield was the only way to damage him.
only the max charge (pink) buster shot damages him. Everything else just bounces off
Just noticed...doesn't Sigma's final form look like Majora's Mask?!
Nah, I noticed that too, lol. But this came out before Majora's Mask, so the real question is, doesn't Majora's Mask look like Sigma's final form?
***** lol right! Interesting regardless though.
+darkwolf1989 actually yeah they do look alike.
I can kinda see the resemblance
darkwolf1989 The theme sounds like majoras theme too
Dude that was epic at the end has me at the edge of my seat with only having one life bar left!
It's 2023 and I gotta say that also impressed me
I have finished this game back in the day and can say that no Dark Souls boss took me as long and as many tries to beat as Sigma.

I liked the part where at the end, X has a psychopathic meltdown and finishes off Sigma with a piledriver slamming him right on top of his fortress.
Sigma’s dog’s fire attack seems like a nod to the Hot Dogs/Frienders from Mega Man 2 in Woodman’s stage
Sigma is mixed with evil Buzz Lightyear, Emperor Zurg, and Voldemort.
4:56 “OH NO YOU’RE A WALL NOW!”
Here's a tip, sigma's second form is weak to rolling shield.
I was so happy someone could finally show me what happens when you beat this guy. The other comments about spending hours blowing up the little bugs to recharge the E tanks, was exactly what I did over a summer only to be defeated by the second head stage. It never occurred to me as a kid to jump on one of the hands as it floated down.
Imagine how mad you would have been if Sigma already tanks the fully charged x buster shot with only dealing 1 damage
1:38 Sigma skywalker.
Star Wars Sigma.
It's more like gundam since it's called a beam saber
Thanks for not being like every single asshole who uploads this battle who beats him with zero damage. Thanks for letting us see what the boss can actually do 👍
I just realized after 20 years how easy the last form is if you get your footing right. RIP my old strategy of dodging.
AND THAT'S how the Maverick Wars & the Sigma Virus began, as well as how X the Blue Bomber & Zero The Red Swordsman started to make their reputation as the 2 strongest and MOST BADASS Maverick Hunters be known!!!!!👍
1:38 Sigma: It's treason then
Sigma is palpatine conformed
1:41 "oh no he's to strong"
Oh look, it's Overwatch's new hero
They pretty much ripped him off from this.
@@DanielFlores-fo1ee Megaman 32nd hero for sure
But in fact this original Sigma already dog walks that ripoff and the verse
For maximum damage do the following: For the dog, use the Ice Gun. For Sigma, use the E Spark and for the final dragon, use Rolling Shield.
I bet the composer was listening to Slayer while he was coming up with the music for Sigma's first form....
Damn, only a single line off his health bar with every fully charged blast. I dont remember taking this long lol
He’s a sigma male, you’re a beta. Get better. (End of cringe dialogue)
normal charge shots actually deal more damage to bosses than the pink spinny one.

Sigma male grindset
Another thing man, when Sigma does his 3rd wall jump, don't slide down, just drop and and use the Spark weapon
"Oh no he's too strong."
Whos watching this in 2021
I remember positioning myself perfectly for a hadouken just for it to bounce off
☠️
Pro tip: The electric attack thingy from Spark Mandrill works best on Sigma's first form.
Honestly, the x-buster fully charged or the roll shield from armored armadillo works best.
To anyone commenting on Sigma's "lightsaber", I hear that it's actually Zero's Z-Saber.
ok,please name said 4-year old who could even GET to Sigma,much less beat him,with no weapons except the buster.
goooood mega man im glad u like megamanx its a fun game i would play it alot when i was little
"Oh no, he's too powerful."
Star Wars Sigma does so much damage not because of the player is unskilled but because your fingers get tired to where you get hit by his basic jump.
Sigma battle 16 years ago or 2008 by the time I post this comment smile😊
Sigma battle now 💀💀 or 2024 October 14 as in p9stubg this comment
That Sigma still have gravity issues.
He couldn’t harness the harness.
Like Megaman did in the video comments, I was reffering to the Final Destination joke, I was assuming everyone was aware of it when I typed the comment, apparenly some don't...*Sigh* It wasn't meant to be a serious comment. >_>
IIRC, everything does ONE point of damage to his first form. Except for Spark Shot. It does 2.
Lol, the wall jumping in the beginning reminds me of Samus wall jumping in Super Metroid. God, you could get a bunch of stuff that you weren't expected to get by using the wall jump... XD
The old trick of staying on the edge of the Sigma's claw. It's hilarious defeat him so. :D
Did it thanks for the hints I gleaned from your video :)
eu nem sabia que tinha o macete de ficar na mão do sigma kkk ja vale o like
OH NO! YOURE A WALL NOW!
One thing is for sure when fighting Sigma: your thumbs ARE GOING to get a WORKOUT
Hey Megaman765, can you predict the future? Because you play so good, you almost know what an opponent is going to do. You're like, awesome. Keep up the good work. :D
Rolling shield is the weakness for Sigma's second form.
i just downloaded the x collection for xbox and im on this stage now. ha right now i'v tried 4 times and haven't made it pass sigmas first fight.
That last hit but nice battle :)
Anklin before he turned into the Dark Side lol
Bro I could never beat this final stage as a kid and still have never done it.
I played yesterday, without dying (only for Hadouken), but when I got to Sigma, I couldn't even use Hadouken 😅
good grief. i finally beat the boss with 1 hp left too, i almost panicked.
crap wish i would've watched this before i turned my system off and swore never to try Sigma's stage again! that final form will eat my cheese someday! my hand hurts.
The mech looks a bit like Majora's Mask.

Pissed me off
You ain't a true mega man x player until you beat the game using nothing but the weapon you start out with- the x buster. I am guilty of doing this
from 8:10 on, you did not use the Sub-Tank only for cause thriller, huh? hehehe!
This game was easy. Just switched from "Tornado Hold" to "Flash Bomb".
Wrong game
I love the Description: No hadoken, X buster only, Final destination.
What the? The machine he's in looks like Majora's Mask!
there is no shame in using the weaknesses against sigma, especially whe he drawshis lightsaber, good play though
0:50 the dog looks like trebel from megaman 7
