Mortal Kombat Flashgame

noreply@blogger.com (Cheska Z) — Mon, 07 Oct 2013 18:57:00 +0000

Back in the 90s, Street Fighter (introduced in 1987) dominated the arcade fighting genre, however, in 1992 Mortal Kombat was introduced and a new fighting game rivaled the then favorite-Street Fighter. It was a close second to Street Fighter (in my opinion, SF is still the best), still, it greatly differs from SF in a lot of ways. It was no ordinary fighting game, the realistic characters were beyond its time and its brutality was controversial. The popularity of the game eventually lead to several franchises including 2 movies (which I think is better than the SF movie) and a TV show. Back in the days, my friends and I would spend couple of hours playing this game, enjoying beating each other silly and teasing the loser while laughing at his character die with a Fatality.

To reminisce the good old days, here's a flashgame of Mortal Kombat. Although the characters and moves are limited in this flash adaptation, its still pretty good. Use the arrow keys to move, A to punch, S to block and D to kick. Enjoy!

Mega Man Zero Playthrough

noreply@blogger.com (Cheska Z) — Tue, 01 Oct 2013 17:08:00 +0000

I'm a big fan of the Mega Man franchise and loved every game from the NES and SNES. When Mega Man X was introduced in the SNES, I was blown away. It was beyond my expectations and it had introduced alot of new things to the Mega Man franchise. Mega Man Zero for the Gameboy Advance follows the story of Zero (from Mega Man X) a century after being sealed away (I thought he died at X6).

My verdict on this game... AWESOME!!!! Ok, we got to play using Zero from Mega Man X4, this time we get to play him on his own title. Now we get to slash and dice more (he also have a buster but using it does not feel musch like Zero and he looks much cooler with his Z-Saber). What I love about this game is that it keeps the traditional 2D platform, run and game (slash and dash for Zero) from the original X series that we have come to love. Great graphics, music and gameplay.. what more can I say.. Here's my playthrough..

Marvel Super Heroes: War of the Gems

noreply@blogger.com (Cheska Z) — Mon, 30 Sep 2013 16:54:00 +0000

Marvel Super Heroes is a platform game for the SNES. In this game, Adam Warlock seeks the help of Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Spiderman, and Wolverine in recovering the Infinity Gems before they fall into the wrong hands.

This is a great game with Marvel's best superheroes to use and choose from. You can choose any of the superheroes but I prefer Captain America as I think he is the most balanced character in the game. I cant really play this game well with the hulk, he is strong but he is slow and gets easily hit. The graphics are quite good although the music is, well, average. However, what makes this a great game is it's replay value, each character have their own distinct style, strenghts and weaknesses and thus playing each charcacter feels like playing a different game.

Here's a playthrough I made of the game, using all characters (just to show how each character can be used) and then shifting back to Captain America since he's my favorite.

When Do I Use a Walkthrough?

noreply@blogger.com (Cheska Z) — Sat, 28 Sep 2013 13:42:00 +0000

Walkthroughs or FAQs are great, they offer information about everything you need to know to complete a game. This is true for RPG games that require alot of puzzle solving to complete, for platform or FPS games, walkthroughs are not that important as practice and skill are the main ingredients needed for the completion of this type of games. A walkthrough is really helpful, still, a true gamer does not or seldom refer to this walkthroughs. I know a couple of friends who would start a game with a walkthrough already on their lap and then later on brag about completing a game like they are Gods or something. This is just so wrong. Game developers spend hundreds of hours conceptualizing and developing games, and the least we can do as gamers is to show our appreciation by actually playing the games. I don't see using a walkthrough all through out a game as playing at all, yes you may have the controller on hand but the game is actually being played by someone else, by the person who wrote the FAQ.

I would be lying if I claim to have never used a walkthrough before, but when I do, the following are my reasons.

I am realy, really, realy, REALLY lost.

When I say really, really, really, REALLY LOST, this means that I am stuck somewhere in the game probably for weeks (in most cases probaby a month or two) and I already visited and revisited every NPC in the game and still don't understand what the hell am I suppose to do next. When this happens, I wonder if there may be a problem in the game or perhaps I may have been really stupid to have overlooked something. Then, I have no choice, I need to use a walkthrough to get me right back on track.

Aiming for 100% Completion

I'm missing something

Like most gamers, completing the game is not enough. I want to have every item in my inventory, every sidequest completed, reached the max level for each character and collected whatever it is that needs collecting in the game. Of course, don't jump into using a gamethrough to achieve 100% completion, try completing everything yourself, but of course sometimes there's that 1 or two item that eludes you. Perhaps you might consider asking a friend or if you don't have any, then consulting walkthrough is fine as well.

For most games where I used walkthroughs, I never actually feel the same amount of fullfillment or satisfaction as the games that I have completed on my own. Walkthroughs are great, but playing the game on your own is better. It may take longer to complete the game, but the satisfaction of exploring and discovering something new is an experience that would always be remembered. That is simply priceless.

I am the Wind (Castlevania SOTN)

noreply@blogger.com (Cheska Z) — Fri, 27 Sep 2013 15:43:00 +0000

This is a great song, the melody, the lyrics, it is just great. However, I dont think it is a great song choice for Castlevania Symphony of the Night. Just my opinion, but after a beating up monsters and vampires you get this song. The song is great but I dont really think it fits Castlevania SOTN, the soundtrack should have been more.. I dont know.. rocking!!! Cause this game rocks.. Anyway here's a video I found on Youtube (not mine) and the lyrics of the song.

I AM THE WIND
Cynthia Harrell - I Am The Wind lyrics | LyricsMode.com

Just like the wind,
I've always been
Drifting high up in the sky that never ends
Through thick and thin,
I always win
'Cause I would fight both life and death to save a friend

I face my destiny every day I live
And the best in me is all I have to give

Just like the sun (Just like the sun)
When my day's done
Sometimes I don't like the person I've become
Is the enemy within a thousand men?
Should I walk the path if my world's so dead ahead?

Is someone testing me every day I live?
Well, the best in me is all I have to give

I can pretend (I can pretend)
I am the wind (I am the wind)
And I don't know if I will pass this way again
All things must end
Goodbye, my friend
Think of me when you see the sun or feel the wind

I am the wind,
I am the sun
And one day we'll all be one

I am the wind,
I am the sun
And one day we'll all be one

I am the wind,
I am the sun
And one day we'll all be one

I am the wind,
I am the sun
One day we'll all be one...

Dragon Warrior 3 Episode 6: Pepper for a Ship

noreply@blogger.com (Cheska Z) — Wed, 25 Sep 2013 15:14:00 +0000

Reaching Portuga, the King offered his ship in exchange for some pepper. Unfortunately, the store owner’s daughter was captured and thus he cannot sell any pepper. Our heroes raided the bandit’s hideout to save the girl but as they are about to escape, the bandit’s leader appeared, surprised our heroes must once again face the bandit- Kandar. Giving Kandar another beating and saving the shop owner’s daughter, our hero received their prize-pepper for the King of Portuga in exchange for his ship.

In this playthrough, we will be getting one of the much needed items to explore the map and complete the game- a ship. After getting the Magic Key, we are now able to reach Portuga through the travellers gate, the King then offers his ship in exchange for some pepper that can be purchased at Baharata, unfortunately we cant buy some but are then asked to rescue the sop owners daughter from Kandar. After saving his daughter we get pepper for free and thus we also get the ship from the King of Portuga. From here on out, we will be spending most of our time exploring the world. The world here is pretty much like the Earth but we will get to that on the next episode.

Dragon Warrior 3 (GBC) Episode 5: The Search for the Magic Key

noreply@blogger.com (Cheska Z) — Tue, 24 Sep 2013 15:02:00 +0000

After saving Noaniels, our heroes learn that Ortega went to Ashalam in search of the Magic Key. Tracing his father’s footstep our hero’s exploration led him to the town of Ashalam and Isis. Our Hero finally obtained the Magic Key at the cursed pyramids.

In this episode, we visit Ashalam (to get a powder puff massage), the Pachisi Track, Isis and then the pyramids where the Magic Key is hidden. I also got the Golden claw which is a hidden item at the pyramid. The claw is cursed and encounter rates are increased if you put them on. Aside from that, as soon as you get the Golden Claw, you will be cursed and fight enemies every after two steps untill you get out of the pyramids. This is not really hard but annoying since you cant use spells to escape and there simply are too many enemies to fight. It's not even worth it but for the sake of showing you,( and completing the map) I did it anyway.

Pacman Flash Game

noreply@blogger.com (Cheska Z) — Mon, 23 Sep 2013 14:24:00 +0000

Pac Man Classic Arcade Flash Game

Dragon Warrior 3 (GBC) Episode 4: The Dream Ruby

noreply@blogger.com (Cheska Z) — Sun, 22 Sep 2013 14:43:00 +0000

Reaching Noaniels, our heroes were surprised to see that all the villagers, except one were cursed to sleep. (like sleeping beuty). The only villager who is awake informed our heroes that the town can be saved if the Dream Ruby would be returned to the Queen of Elvenheim. Our heros braved the Noaniel Cave to find the Dream Ruby and save Noaniels.

In this playthrough, we visit the town of Noaniels and later Elvenheim. The main quest in this playthrough is to retrieve the Dream Ruby from Noaniel Cave, return it to the queen of Elvenheim and use the Wake Dust in Noaniels to free the people from the curse.

Dragon Warrior 3 (GBC) Episode 3: The Stolen Crown of Romaly

noreply@blogger.com (Cheska Z) — Sat, 21 Sep 2013 09:28:00 +0000

With the Thief Key and the Magic Bomb, our Hero was able to pass the Tempt Cave and reach the Kingdom of Romaly. At the request of the King, the Hero must retrieve the stolen King’s crown from the bandit, Kandar, who is hidden in the notorious Shampane Tower. After beating Kandar and retrieving the crown, the King will give you his kingdom and crown as reward.

In this playthrough, our hero arrives at Romaly and as the King requested goes on a mission to retrieve the crown. There is an arena in Romaly where you can gamble and hopefully win some money to buy items. But gambling is gambling and you may end up losing money so instead, level grind a bit on your way to shampane tower on the west. This may be the first boss fight in the game and thus you need to prepare for fighting the enemy Kandar as he is no pushover. Use sap to lower his defense and pound him with physical attacks.

Dragon Warrior 3 (GBC) Episode 2: The Thief Key and the Magic Bomb

noreply@blogger.com (Cheska Z) — Fri, 20 Sep 2013 09:24:00 +0000

Unable to cross the Tempt Cave, our Hero goes on search for the Magic Bomb. After learning that an old man in Reeve can make Magic Bombs, our hero faces another problem, getting into the old man’s house means having the Thief Key. Our Hero’s search for the Thief Key led him to the treacherous Najima Tower.

This playthrough includes Najima Tower and the Tempt Cave. The thief key can be located at Najima Tower. After locating the Thief Key at Najima Tower, Visit Reeve to get the Magic Bomb from the old man and use it to blow the wall hindering you from passing through the Tempt Cave. The Magic Map can also be located at the Tempt Cave. After passing through the Tempt Cave, our heroes will be teleported to a shrine just below the Kingdom of Romaly.

Dragon Warrior 3 (GBC): Episode 1.The Journey Begins

noreply@blogger.com (Cheska Z) — Thu, 19 Sep 2013 17:39:00 +0000

Here is the first part of my playthrough of Dragon Warrior 3 for the GBC.

After the great hero Ortega's fall, his son is tasked to continue what his father started. After a few years, as our Hero reached his 16th birthday, he is now ready to continue his father's legacy and fight to save the world from the Demon Lord- Baramos. As the King advised, the Hero recruited 3 companions from Ruida's tavern and thus their journey to defeat Baramos and save the world begins.

This playthrough includes the opening scene where Ortega fell on the volcano. I chose 3 female companions in this game for the following reasons:

If your gonna ask me to go on a dangerous journey, what better way than have beautiful girls accompany you. To relieve stress and encourage our hero..
Female characters have better stats if they have a sexy personality, which can be done by reading the sexy book or by wearing garter. There are unlimited sexy books in the game, get them froom Divinegon.
Female characters have the best armors. The light dress which has 90 defense can also cut damage from spells in half. The light dress can be bought at Zipangu Pachisi track shop on the 4th floor. To unlock the track you also need to defeat Divinegone and get a wish.

The King also gave our hero some sticks and a few Gs to start his quest (some King) so I suggest a little bit of level grinding during the start of the game to earn some money and make your first quest, the search for the thief key at Najima Temple easier. (As in most RPGs, level grinding during the early parts of the game gets you more accustomed to the game and makes achieving your first mission easier.)

Street Fighter X Mega Man

noreply@blogger.com (Cheska Z) — Wed, 18 Sep 2013 17:11:00 +0000

1987.. The year that both Mega Man and Street Fighter were released. These games made Capcom what it is now. 2012, 25 years after and in celebration of both games 25th Anniversary, Capcom decided (after so many years of not having any new Mega Man game) to give us a chance to once again play with our favorite blue bomber, this time Mega Man does not fight Robot Masters but characters from Street Fighter (thus the title of the game, Street Fighter X Mega Man) and the best thing is, it can be downloaded for free (thank you so much for this Christmas gift!!!). Here's the trailer. (Actually quite funny)

To download the game, click here. Enjoy! Hope Konami has the same plans in celebrating Metal Gear Solid's 15th year. A free Metal Gear (the first one for the MSX) game for the PC would be nice.. Wishful thinking..

Very Funny.. Metal Gear Awesome

Metal Gear Solid Tool Assisted Speedrun (TAS)

noreply@blogger.com (Cheska Z) — Tue, 17 Sep 2013 14:07:00 +0000

This is the best MGS tool assisted speedrun I have seen. Although theenglishman (the guy who made this run) just bested his original speedrun by more than 20 minutes, this one did not used a glitch and thus it is more entertaining to watch. This must have been how Snake had really done it.

I used to think that since these videos were "tool assisted", creating a TAS would be easy. I was wrong, I tried doing some and now I know how much work these guys put into creating this videos. So I salute you guys for the patience and hardwork you put into this kind of work. So far, this is the best TAS I have ever seen.

This Month's Project: September 2013

noreply@blogger.com (Cheska Z) — Thu, 05 Sep 2013 16:35:00 +0000

Last August, I completed 9 playthroughs. Yes, NINE!!! That would be Mega Man 1-6 for tthe NES and Mega Man 1-3 (The Wily Wars) for the Sega Genesis. (Visit my Youtube page here)That's what you get to accomplished if you put your mind to it, and if you happen to have no job and play video games 24/7. (not advisable though). Anyway, this month or perhaps for the next 2-3 months I'll be working on Dragon Warrior 3 for the Gameboy Color. Way back in 2002, I got to play this game and I was actually surprised how good it was. My first RPG was Final Fantasy 7 and after that I also played a couple of RPGs for the Playstation and when I did not know about Dragon Warrior then. I never played the NES game and never knew about RPGs until FF 7 so Dragon Warrior was a pleasant surprise. It did not have the fancy graphics that newer games had but it carries the elements that makes a great RPG. For older gamers this may not come as a surprise because of the popularity of Dragon Warrior back then but for our generation, FF 7 was our first.

I have just recently completed a test run of Dragon Warrior and it looks like it may take a while before I can complete my playthrough since I still need to replay the game a couple of times and test, retest the routes that I would be taking. (aside from the fact that I just got a job). This would not be my first RPG playthrough, I have done Onimusha Tactics for the Gameboy Advance but that did not need much preparations since it is pretty straightforward, it is relatively easy and getting lost in that game is next to impossible. I would be posting the first part soon, just check my Youtube page

Robotech: The Macross Saga for the Gameboy Advance

noreply@blogger.com (Cheska Z) — Thu, 05 Sep 2013 15:05:00 +0000

I'm a big fan of Robotech, BIG fan. Remembered playing the NES game and I loved the music which was actually lifted from the anime series. Although Raiden is a better game, I stilll enjoyed the NES game because, well, I'm a fan. The SNES version was even more awesome so I was expecting the Gameboy Advance to do even better.. Sad to say, I was really disappointed, the game feels like the NES version except for the fact that it is not in 8-bit but the overall feel of the game is the same with the NES version. No improvements in comparison with the SNES version so, I think this game sucks.. BIG TIME! I still played and finished the game in the hopes of finding some redeeming factor, I even managed to create a playthrough of the game, but I still feel really disapppointed. Here's my playthrough.

FFIX Melodies of Life

noreply@blogger.com (Cheska Z) — Mon, 02 Sep 2013 15:04:00 +0000

While waiting for some of my videos to be uploaded on Youtube, I searched a couple of games to watch and for some reason, I came across this video.After all those years of playing Final Fantasy IX, this song never ceases to inspire me. It still gives me goosebumps. This definitely one of the best video game themes ever.. EVER! Here's the video and the lyrics as well.

 Nobuo Uematsu - Melodies Of Life lyrics

Alone for a while I've been searching through the dark,
For traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart,
To weave by picking up the pieces that remain,
Melodies of life - love's lost refrain.

Our paths they did cross, though I cannot say just why.
We met, we laughed, we held on fast, and then we said goodbye.
And who'll hear the echoes of stories never told ?
Let them ring out loud till they unfold.

In my dearest memories, I see you reaching out to me.
Though you're gone, I still believe that you can call out my name.

A voice from the past, joining yours and mine.
Adding up the layers of harmony.
And so it goes, on and on.
Melodies of life,
To the sky beyond the flying birds - forever and beyond.

So far and away, see the birds as it flies by.
Gliding through the shadows of the clouds up in the sky.
I've laid my memories and dreams upon those wings.
Leave them now and see what tomorrow brings.

In your dearest memories, do you remember loving me ?
Was it fate that brought us close and now leave me behind ?

A voice from the past, joining yours and mine.
Adding up the layers of harmony.
And so it goes, on and on.
Melodies of life,
To the sky beyond the flying bird - forever and on.

If I should leave this lonely world behind,
Your voice will still remember our melody.
Now I know we'll carry on.
Melodies of life,
Come circle round and grow deep in our hearts, as long as we remember.



Lyrics | Nobuo Uematsu lyrics - Melodies Of Life lyrics

Mega Man X2

noreply@blogger.com (Cheska Z) — Sat, 31 Aug 2013 05:09:00 +0000

I'm a big fan of the Mega Man series, and an even bigger fan of the Mega Man X series. Mega Man (the original blue bomber from the NES) offered great gameplay, memorable characters and awesome music (especially Mega Man 2) but does not deliver much on the plot or storyline. When Mega Man X was introduced for the SNES, it offered something new in the Mega Man franchise, a more mature storyline and better gameplay. In fact, Mega Man X's debut was phenomenal, but X2 did not fail to deliver a sequel that equals or if not surpasses the first.

Mega Man X2 follows the story of X after defeating Sigma in Mega Man X. Six months after the events of Mega Man X, a new group of Mavericks, named the X-Hunters, have surfaced to challenge and destroy X. With Zero's body parts held by the X-Hunters, X goes on a mission to recover them from the X-Hunters in hopes of reactivating Zero.

Mega Man X was a great game but Mega Man X2 is an even better game. Although some may argue about which is better, I do admit that the first one was influential, for me, X2 offered better gaming. No Hadouken for this one but you can have an even better weapon, the Shoryuken, same as the Hadouken for the first part, this is a one shot kill weapon and what makes it better is that it is easier to hit enemies with this weapon. There's nothing much to say about the game except it was AWESOME, see for yourselves. Here's a playthrough of Mega Man X2.

Mega Man 2 Mini-Guide

noreply@blogger.com (Cheska Z) — Fri, 30 Aug 2013 16:13:00 +0000

Considered by most as the best Mega Man game in the NES (probably for the whole Mega Man franchise), Mega Man 2 is the most balanced game in the franchise. Here is my mini-guide (it is more of a boss guide but most Mega Man players know that knowing the bosses and their weakness is all you need to finish the game), hope it helps..

STAGE/ BOSS	WEAKNESS	WEAPON GAINED	BOSS STRATEGY
Metal Man	Buster/ Metal Blade	Metal Blade (this is the first boss I take on since I love the metal blade, a lot of enemies are weak against this weapon, you can even direct your shots and it does not consume that much of you weapon meter)	He will jump up and throw metal blades at you. Stay close to him since the blades can rarely hit you if you are below him. Use your buster during your first encounter, during the final stage, he is so much easier if you use metal blade.
Flashman	Metal Blade	Time Stopper Item 3	This guy is easy, just shoot him with metal blade
Quickman	Time Stopper	Quick Boomerang	Use time stopper to cut down his life in half, then use your buster to finish the job. You can also use air shooter instead of the buster since he is always jumping around and not that easy to hit.
Bubbleman	Quick Boomerang Metal Blade	Bubble Lead	Another easy enemy, avoid his attacks, shoot him with quick boomerangs (Metal Blades also work well)
Heatman	Bubble Lead	Atomic Fire Item 1	Shoot him with bubble lead. Everytime he gets hit, he would dash. So simply, hit, avoid dash, then hit him again with bubble lead
Woodman	Metal Blade Atomic Fire	Leaf Shield	Wait for Woodman to throw his leave shield. This will make him vulnerable against your Metal blade or even better , your fully charged Atomic Fire.
Airman	Leaf Shield	Air Shooter Item 2	The trick is to get close to him. He throws a couple of tornados, evade those and then when he stops get close and use leaf shield.
Crashman	Air Shooter	Crash Bomber	So easy, just use air shooter.
*Final Stage*
- Dragon	Quick Boomerang		There will be ledges in this fight. Go to the top most ledge (and try to stay there) and let those quick boomerang do a quick job against this enemy.
- Brick Walls	Bubble Lead		Two bricks from the walls form a robot, just do your best to avoid them and use bubble lead. One shot per robot.
-Giant Gutsman	Quick Boomerang		Jump at the ledge above this robots wheels and then jump and hit his head with quick boomerangs
- Wall Thingies	Crash Bomber		This is hard since you will only have enough crash bombers to kill him. The easiest way to kill this boss is to shoot down all the barriers first and then allow him to kill you so you can replenish your crash bombers. (Go down the left stairs when you respawn and kill a couple of enemies and hope they drop weapon refills). Once you return to fight this enemy, the walls you already destroyed will no longer be there. To finish the enemy in one go, well.. just watch the video.
-Dr. Wily (1^st form)	Crash Bomber		If you still have crash bombers then use them. (but I prefer saving them for the 2^nd form) If you don’t, use metal blade. Simply jump to avoid his attacks and shoot the machines windshield (the round thingy in front of Dr. Wily’s vehicle,..yeah, I think it’s a windshield)
-Dr. Wily (2^nd Form)	Crash Bomber		If you have crash bombers left (probably you have none left, but if you do) use it. Then use metal blade or your buster to shoot at Dr. Wily.
-Dr. Wily (Alien Form)	Bubble Lead		I think Bubble lead is the weapon that does damage against this alien. Wait for him to be at his lowest point, jump and drop those bubbles on him. Avoid his attacks (duh) because they really do significant damage. Use everything you’ve got in this fight (since it is the last fight), don’t be shy to use your energy tanks.

Here's a playthrough of Mega Man 2 for the NES. Check my Youtube channel for the Sega remake.

Mega Man (1) Mini Guide

noreply@blogger.com (Cheska Z) — Tue, 27 Aug 2013 17:07:00 +0000

Here's my mini guide for Mega Man, if you dont understand what i wrote down, watch the video instead.

STAGE/ BOSS	WEAKNESS	WEAPON GAINED	BOSS STRATEGY
Bombman	Fire Shot	Bomb	Dodge his attacks and hit him with your buster or fire shot (if you already have fire shot)
Gutsman	Bomb	Boulder toss	As he jumps, jump before he hits the ground while throwing bombs at him.
Cutman	Boulder toss	Cut Blade	There are two boulders in this room that you can toss.. Just make sure they hit and this will be an easy fight. If for some reason you missed, use you buster to finish the job. (During the final stage, use your buster shot. No boulders to toss)
Elecman	Cut Blade	Elec Shot (Don’t forget to pick up magnet beam on this stage, you’ll need guts power to reach it)	This guy is the hardest boss in this game. (Although the bosses are not that hard, getting to the bosses is much harder). Elecman’s weapon has a wide range and quite damaging. Dodge and hit is the strategy but dodging really is a pain. Just don’t fight this guy without cut blade.
Iceman	Elec Shot	Ice Arrow	This is easy. You don’t even have to worry about dodging (but dodge if you can) If you have the elec shot, he’ll be dead before he can dish our some serious damage on your lifebar.
Fireman	Ice Arrow	Fire Shot	This boss never jumps and does his attacks are easy to dodge, and he is easy to hit. Dodge and attack using Ice Arrow
*Final Stage*
-Rock Monster	Elec Shot	N/A	This will put your dodging skills to the test. Really hard
-Mega Man Clone	Buster		No weakness but choose the buster so that he also uses the buster. Jump shoot while in the air and then throw another shoot as you hit the ground since this enemy loves jumping around.
-Boss 3 (Bubble Thingy)	Boulder toss/ Buster		Use the 4 boulders on the center of the stage with your boulder toss. After using all the boulders, switch to your buster and head to the leftmost corner of the room to get more shots in.
-Dr. Wily (First form)	Elect Shot		Use elec shot on Dr. Wily’s vehicle. His attacks are predictable and not that hard to dodge.
-Dr. Wily (Form 2)	Fire/ Elec		The elec shot is still effective against this boss but so is the fire shot. I prefer using the fire shot since it is faster than the elec shot.

Mega Man X4: X Mini-Guide

MegaMan X4, the first of the Mega Man X franchise for the Playstation is an awesome game. It maintains the tried and tested run and gun, action platforming genre that the franchise is known for and upgrading the graphics and music to fit that of the Playstation. Anime cutscenes here and there add a more compelling story and videogaming experience.

Since writing a full blown walkthrough takes too much time and effort, I decided to write a mini-guide instead since, like most run and gun/platform game, practice is the key in successfully completing the game. This guide shows the location of all items and upgrades/enhancements for X. To get the Ultimate Armor (has all of the modules, plus unlimited Nova Strike), at the selection screen, highlight (Mega Man) X, press the O button twice, left 6x, hold L1 and R2, press start and continue on holding L1 and R2 until the game starts.

LOCATION	ITEMS/ CAPSULES	BOSS	WEAKNESS	WEAPON GAINED
Amazon	Boot Module (Area 1) Heart Tank (Area 2)	Web Spider	Twin Slasher (X-Buster)	Lightning Web
Bio Laboratory	Heart Tank (Area 2)	Split Mushroom	Lightning Web	Soul Body
Cyber Space	Head Module (Area 1) Heart tank (Area 1) Energy Tank (Area 1)	Cyber Peacock	Soul Body	Aiming Laser
Air Force	Arm Module (Area 2) Heart Tank (Area 1)	Storm Owl	Aiming Laser	Double Cyclone
Memorial Hall		Colonel	X-Buster (Plasma Shot)
Volcano	Body Module (Area 2) Heart Tank (Area 2)	Magma Dragon	Double Cyclone	Rising Fire
Snow Base	Heart Tank (Area 1) Ex Tank (Area 1) W Tank (Area 2)	Frost Walrus	Rising Fire	Frost Tower
Marine Base	Heart Tank (Area 1) Energy Tank (Area 2)	Jet Stingray	Frost Tower	Ground Hunter
Supply Train	Heart Tank (Area 2)	Slash Beast	Ground Hunter	Twin Slasher
Space Port		Colonel	X Buster (Plasma Shot)
Final Weapon (Stage 1)		Double General	Double Cyclone Twin Slasher/ X Buster (Plasma Shot)
Final Weapon (Stage 2)		Reaper Sigma Sigma Sigma Head Sigma Mecha	Rising Fire Lightning Web Ground Hunter X Buster (Plasma Shot)

Note:

1. To receive the Head Module, heart tank, and energy tank, you need to get S-rank on Cyberspace area

2. To reach the arm module, use Lightning Web over the spikes and then jump dash at the lower ledge and use the Lightning Web for your second jump.

3. To reach the body module, you need the Twin Slasher and the arm module first, and to get the Heart Tank at the Amazon stage, you will be needing the Rising Fire. Skip these items first and before continuing to the space port, complete your upgrades by visiting the Amazon and the Volcano stages.
