Dr Light was like: X this is an armor upgrade to boost your…. Wait….. what the hell X… this capsule was hidden safety for only your arm upgrades can bypass them. How did you get in??? X: who gives a f, just give me the fkin upgrades….
I gotta say that after about 20 years later, I’m glad that I got proved wrong and realize that it is possible to get the Ultimate Armor in Dragoon’s stage.
@superflashxmedia7706 you use a code and the first upgrade you go to will turn you into ultimate armor. usually the legs is the one people go to cause it's easier
I like the fact that they have sprite for X with only the body armor part despite it being almost impossible to get it without the buster armor upgrade, that's some quality work right there.
Pretty sure that they don't have individual sprites for each combination. Each piece of armor is overlayed on top of X and can be turned on and off individually.
@@mengo329 I don't think a ps1 for 1997 have that kind of tech, beside I have seen people who work on the same engine creating different sprite sheet for each part of the armor and their animation.
@@acidgolem2132 Considering the PS1 could render texture-mapped 3D areas, a second object on top of X isn't much of a tall order. Megaman X1,2, and 3 did this too, but with only the head, arm and leg parts being overlays and the body parts being a full sprite swap like you'd assume. They stopped doing it for X5 and X6 because it's really hard to figure out all the sprites for 4 sets of armors with their unique abilities.
To further my theory, unused sprites of Armorless X in the Shadow Armor's ceiling cling and Blade Armor's mach dash poses have been found, implying they wanted to try using the overlay method again to let you use partial armor sets but plans of course fell through. Also remember how if you play as Zero in Megaman X5's intro stage, X will be wounded wearing his fourth armor? The armor parts are overlayed on top of him there too. You can go into the game's files and see that he's actually completely sprited under the armor in that position, although lacking in detail
@@mengo329 And of course the Xtreme games went with the option of only changing X's sprite once you have the full set, as the GB and GBC shared the NES' "8 sprites per scanline" limitation which made the overlay method impractical at best.
@@Snash1753 and without doing this glitch you would still need to backtrack to Dragoon's stage to get the heart tank. Like it or not the least amount of times you have to backtrack in X4 will always be 1
It is neat, but it does not cut down on the backtracking of a 100% playthrough because you still have to return to Web Spider's Jungle for the heart tank after you have acquired Rising Fire from Magma Dragoon in this very stage.
Upon rewatch, the fact that the Ride Armor can break those blocks at all suggests that there was a way to get it up there when the game was being developed.
I just realized that ive never seen the sprite of X with just the body parts before, cause normally, you need the buster upgrade so you can use Slash Beast's charged weapon attack.
For a moment there I thought I could do Megaman X4 as X with no backtracking... Still gotta return to either dragoon or spider to get everything. Definitely not because the levels are cool and the music is groovy.

@@maverickhuntermeta4954 You can't get there with a jump, because normally to get there you must use the Jump Dash or the Air Dash and then do the Wall Jump.

So I’ve just been trying to learn this trick & I have no idea how you made the ride armor glide like that. Did you dash into the missile & get knocked back & then held right? I would need an input display to follow this or some kind of guide
@@maxrichards5925 What you have to do is be on the edge of the rocky platform looking towards where the enemy missile is coming, then you must wait until the missile is about to hit you, right there you must make the dash attack, if you do it correctly you will begin to descend slowly and to be able to move from left to right quickly, when you achieve it, don't think too much and move to the right to reach where the Dr.Light Capsule is.
@@Snash1753What kind of inputs are you doing to dash? Are you double taping left & attack, or is it just pressing a single button to dash & the attack button at the same time? I’ve tried both but haven’t had any luck yet
@@maxrichards5925 What I did is press the dash button and then immediately press the attack button, I do not recommend pressing both at the same time, doing the glitch is complicated but when you achieve it it becomes easier to repeat it.
To do the glitch you must be on the edge of the rock platform at that moment: 0:40 then do the dash and press the attack button at the moment you are going to receive the enemy's missile, if you do it correctly you will receive damage with knockback but you will descend slowly with the Ride Armor and can move quickly from left to right. When you do, don't think too much and move to the right to reach the place where Dr.Light's capsule is located.

@gilreh7777 do you know how to get the ultimate armor in x4 cause it is kind of easier to explain if you do
@superflashxmedia7706 you use a code and the first upgrade you go to will turn you into ultimate armor. usually the legs is the one people go to cause it's easier
Now i have a reason to play X4 in one shot for the 50th time

...I'm getting memories of distorting your hit box in dung beetle's stage in x6
Unfortunately, this means you have to backtrack to get the heart tank from Web Spider.
Well, you would only have to do backtracking in the Web Spider scenario once.
@@Snash1753 and without doing this glitch you would still need to backtrack to Dragoon's stage to get the heart tank.

no you don't, a well-spaced dash wall jump get's it just fine@@da_pancake_man

Mmm no, you can reach it by doing a jumping dash at the border.

Upon rewatch, the fact that the Ride Armor can break those blocks at all suggests that there was a way to get it up there when the game was being developed.
Or that the blocks are considered a breakable that only responds to the code executed by the ride armor.
Those same blocks appear before getting to the boss area. You can face Dragoon with a Ride Armor.
The incredibly rare body armour only X sprite. It's almost holy.
Oh my god. Bro you're a legend.
Wow an entire channel filled with Megaman x videos. Thanks to youtube for recommending this.
Thank you, bro.

Mans turned a mech into an airplane
This is beautiful
Literal speedrun strat to 100%
People in the castevania community call this glitch a "big toss"
Omg, that means X4 is now 100% completable without backtracking.
Edit: Ah crap, I forgot about burning woods on Web Spider stage... .-.
For a moment there I thought I could do Megaman X4 as X with no backtracking... Still gotta return to either dragoon or spider to get everything. Definitely not because the levels are cool and the music is groovy.
yeah, that is, this bug was left, but in X 8 there is no bug with the flight with the help of Zero?! Are you kidding me or what?!!!
Hope you can glitch Ride armor for Slash Beast Boss Battle.
I already did it, I'll be uploading it soon.
This glitch probably occurs only playing on the computer because i never seem it on ps1.
Now the game can be played with no backtracking I think

I haven't played Megaman X4 in awhile and couldn't those rock blocks already be destroyed with the ride armor by timing on the jump?
@@maverickhuntermeta4954 You can't get there with a jump, because normally to get there you must use the Jump Dash or the Air Dash and then do the Wall Jump.
I feel like this is only good if you want get the armor parts early in x4, kind of seems redundant if you are doing a least backtracking run tbh

Hey that's really neat!
So, get hit during a dash attack in the armor, and then turn around? Any other steps here?
No, it is a matter of trial and error, at first it is difficult to do the glitch but once you achieve it it will be easier for you to do it.
What on earth I have to see if this works on the Sega Saturn version!

The Lightning Web is still a must?
@@ryuumajin Yes, it is essential to get the Body Upgrade earlier without the need for the Twin Slasher and Buster Upgrade.
@@Snash1753 Ah yes, to push the Ride Armor upward.
how do you make that loooong jump?

When you do, don't think too much and move to the right to reach the place where Dr.Light's capsule is located.
Without the glitch, how do I get the body armor the intended way?
Dash jump off the ride armor to get up there (or Web Spider’s weapon) and then use a charged Slash Beast shot.
0:45何回やってもライドアーマーのジャンプのやり方が分からない...
グリッチを行うには、その瞬間に岩台の端にいる必要があります: 0:40 ダッシュをして、敵のミサイルを受け取る瞬間に攻撃ボタンを押します。正しく行えば受け取ることができます。ノックバックでダメージを与えますが、ライドアーマーを使用するとゆっくりと降下し、左から右へ素早く移動できます。そのときは、あまり考えずに右に移動して、Dr.Lightのカプセルがある場所に到達してください。
@@Snash1753 No matter how many times I try, I don't succeed. Do you have any tips?
