A realization: The skull that shoots X and Zero at the end has little to no indication of it actually being Sigma. Sigma's eyes are usually either white or blue, the scars aren't colored in, the text refers to it as "??" just like the hologram of Dr. Light, and skulls with blocky teeth were never Sigma's motif. Not to mention this entire game's final levels had implied that Sigma had explicitly teamed up with Zero's creator. Dr. Wily.
Man. I played this as my first megaman game when I was a kid. It's 2024 and I've spent so long searching thru megaman videos just to find which one I played. It's so nostalgic.
Ahhh man this brings me back. I could never kill the big statues in the second part of this battle. It was SOOO frustrating. But its finally nice to know what happened :D
Anyone notice that First Form Sigma's patterns are very similar to his X1 self? He even does the cape thrown thing. All that he's lacking is the light saber.
Most of Sigma's first forms are references to characters in other fiction. The zig zag pattern is a reference to Sigma from X1 and 2, and I think the design they were going for was M. Bison from Street Fighter.
The final fights against Sigma in the X series were the most tense and grueling end game battles I ever enjoyed Sigma always gives a good fight. My favorite last battles in the X series are X3,X1,X5.
No, I'm using Camtasia Recorder and video editing the video myself with VirtualDub. I was playing this at 320x240 resolution on my 1280x1024 desktop since I had to maximize recording quality and max performance
Damnit,I wish I was alive longer in the days where games were generally badass like this. I was born in 1997,all the cool stuff was finishing by then(megaman,PSX games,metroid,stuff like that).
Capcom was getting lazy with creating animations. None of all that awesome movement that Sigma in X4 had in his first fight here. This looks really lazily made looking back at it after years. Sigma has like maybe 3 animation frames in his first form. Lol
Very lazy battle, both in terms of visuals and design. It has nothing on awesome MMX4 final fight. And rendered Sigma's head doesn't look menacing or cool. It's just...there.
***** I know. Look at the animation frames for Sigma in his first form here. Then look at his X4 version after you burn off his reaper cloak. Doesn't have nearly as much charisma like they threw this together in a few days. He especially looks shitty here dashing from wall to wall.
try to be at the ground when he summon those cubes then jump and stick to the wall and jump to the other side, repeat until they disappear , dont try to attack sigma
Awesome play. I was fighting Sigma just now. I got off since it's giving too much trouble (also on Xtreme mode) right now. So I came here to see some strategies to defeat him... ~_~ For people who have different endings and questions: There are 3 types of endings. 1) If Zero turned maverick and is gone, then you will see X his army reparing the base and the city around them.
Does anyone else realise that Sigma's final form is just two hands and a giant 3d image of his head? TBH, only young kids wouldn't realise that. The only thing they would think is "Hey, why does Sigma look 3d when he was 2d a moment ago?"
today i tried fighting the x5 sigma and well you make it look easy. i can for the most part get to second form with little to no damage but i have trouble dodging his purple cube attack. you make it look easy. very nice job
Hmm, I don't know... Somehow the pre-rendered 3D-graphics and especially the background graphics seem rather clumsy for me. Even the amount of animation seems lower, though that may be just my imagination.
This brings me back old memories! Impressive! Despite relying on Giga Attack (the Nova Strike or something) of X's Ultimate Armor, I still need the life tanks, I suppose! Hmm... come to think about it, there's a contraction. In the ending, X fights alone without Zero 3 years later. But in X6, the scenario takes place 2 weeks after Zero's disappearance -and he did come back in that game.
its my personal opinion that, after playing through X1-X3 none of the playstation bound MMX titles where of any difficulty as compared to the older games of the series, which is a shame. I remember Kaiser Sigma from MMX3, he fired way more things to dodge than that Head thing what sigma became, its appauling.
@SuperSketch008 Notice how in the Zero intro Zero is missing Limbs in the first picture. Probably because Sigma Killed him. The story wasn't changed at all to fit in Megaman X6.
@GirugameshNoize Agreed that the voice acting sucked but that's part of what gamers (in general. I'm not quite sure if the true MM fans liked them though...) like about them. Think of the Resident Evil series for example: The "Jill Sandwich" and "No! Don't go!!" lines are still the most popular lines in videogame history these days..
So, has 3 weaknesses: In his first form it's like an electric shock as for his second form, well if a player chooses X Sigma's weakness is the Spike Ball the weapon from Axel The Red and if the player chooses Zero Sigma's weakness is the twin dream
X5 was intended to be the last game. Zero's death/disappearance was picked up in the MMZ series, but with X6, that had to be changed to incorporate the story better. Zero is resurrected in the MMZ series, where at the end of X6 he seals himself to remove all traces of the Sigma/Zero virus. In the end, Zero is revived while X is sealed away to stop the Dark Elf (MMZ2).
When they refer to X later in the series and in the Megaman Zero series and call him a "legendary Maverick Hunter", these are the mad skills they're referring to. :P
It's actually sort of nostalgia,because when I was like 8 or 7 we had a PSX in Tunisia and I used to play x7 on it(or whichever one it is that starts with the crashed spaceship thing in the desert)but because I was too young I never played it seriously.Similarily,I used to have Metroid Fusion on my nintendo DS but I gave the DS away,including all the cool zelda games and stuff I had.Now,I'm trying to beat the SA-X boss fight on Metroid Fusion with an emulator. :)
my first one was the first Megaman X. Sting Chameleon was hard but i beated him but then i couldnt get pass the Spider in Sigma Stage 1.i was like 12 or 11
although I haven't played X5 yet for myself, my (2nd) megaman game ever was x6.. and I was 9 then lol. now I'm huge MegaMan fan. X5 is next on my list and I'll be caught up. but anywho: I personally think a huge part of that has to do with the fact that Keiji Inafune originally wanted the series to end with X5, but Capcom wanted the X series to continue. so pretty much everything after X5 was plotted by Capcom, not so much Keiji himself.
Don't worry, Capcom also did the same thing to the Battlenetwork series where not only did they make countless sequels on the gameboy advanced, they made another series on the DS based on the same concept.
This game frustrates me. Playing as zero, he has one pixel of health left. i have about half a bar, ok. i jump up to slash him and his arm spawns out of nowhere and killed me in one hit. >.>
This was supposed to be the last Mega Man X game in the X series hence all the references they make to previous games. As far as I know, Sigma's final form in this game is supposed to be a reference to Gamma from Mega Man 3 who was the final boss.
St. Mdnght Megaman x5 used to be the final on Megaman X. X6 7 and 8 are not canon becaouse are not maded of the original creator. Sorry for the bad english xD

I never realized that we fought a static image as the final boss.
@Zedrik Allen except you fighting 3d sigma
It's because of the space in the CD and the limitations of the PSX
We never imagined that MegaMan x5 is a copy of SNES megaman x (static boss with moving hands, death and zero, ragda bangda) due to its similarity.
@@sergiocarballo6642 it's a big reference to Gamma from Mega Man 3 also
I don't even need a single frame of animation to destroy you, Mega Man!

@@jotaroisbestboy7593 maybe he only meant to hit X but Zero was in the way idk

X5 was meant to be the last X game,so when they made a new one they had to recton it to not make both games too distant
Have you already bought the year in which this game takes place and the appearance of COVID? Nobody noticed 😶
This was the perfect ending for the series. Sigma finally dead along with zero and the virus itself.
Orochimaru samaTHAT IS .. until mega man x6 to mega man x8 happen :(
***** X8 was pretty good tho
Lets us all hope that X9 will be made here soon;)
Not if Capcom is going the way Konami is...the only thing that has Capcom in the business is street fighter.
What do you mean by that?

Sigma: 'Let's make this fair and square!"
Lol
Dynamo: Be there or be square
Sigma:

Man. I played this as my first megaman game when I was a kid. It's 2024 and I've spent so long searching thru megaman videos just to find which one I played. It's so nostalgic.
Lazy or not, still a pretty epic finale.

Jesus!
I think the same thing...
Indeed. Although I thought Gate was harder than Sigma himself. Damn Gate and his flying orbs...
Dr light hologram: "X... I want you to have this buster par- HOLY SHI- WTF HAPPENED TO YOU?!"
The way you dodge projectiles are great, but for some reason you keep getting damaged from the fists. :D

Actually sigma's final form in X6 is a bit lazier than this boss. Frickin cheap, I mean, his boogies can drop anything useful even 1ups lol!
Sendy Lie It is a cheap fight too. I agree. Like they didn't care. '' Just have him shoot a giant laser and spam green boogers.''

First stage is more or less tolerable, but the second, with his giant still rendered face...is just laughauble.
Any tips for dodging the purple blocks? I kept dying from those. Used to nova strike from the blocks when I was a kid. I'm playing unamored X now.
try to be at the ground when he summon those cubes then jump and stick to the wall and jump to the other side, repeat until they disappear , dont try to attack sigma
CloudStrifeZX also equip shock buffer
CloudStrifeZX I'm assuming you're using jump dash throughout? I'm having trouble jump dashing off the wall, any tip for that? My finger hurts -_-
control configuration > dash button R1 and you are ready to wall jump and dash jump like a pro
CloudStrifeZX That's brilliant! Thnx for the tip! I feel so dumb rite now >.
This will always be my favorite sigma boss fight because he just turns into a giant png and it's hilarious
This version of Sigma's body was supposedly built by Doctor Wily. Does this mean he's a robot master?
I swear, zero dies in like EVERY single game.
i like the background, x and zero's capsules and schematics, it's awesome!!
I'm glad some youngsters are out there that still appreciate good games :)
Stylish too! Gotta love that rainbow light/cape combo.
Perfect timing with sigmas destruction and the music. Totally awsome!
Somewhat ;3@Knucklehead821
Awesome play. I was fighting Sigma just now. I got off since it's giving too much trouble (also on Xtreme mode) right now. So I came here to see some strategies to defeat him... ~_~
For people who have different endings and questions:
There are 3 types of endings.
1) If Zero turned maverick and is gone, then you will see X his army reparing the base and the city around them.
That Sigma Final Battle Music. It's epic.
sigma is like a freaking pest he just does not know when to die and stay dead.
find the blue crystal to access the other place and go until the very end to fight him, then you'll get him
First form tends to hit me when it uses both energy waves, second form ALWAYS beats my ass with the purple blocks of doom.
Does anyone else realise that Sigma's final form is just two hands and a giant 3d image of his head? TBH, only young kids wouldn't realise that. The only thing they would think is "Hey, why does Sigma look 3d when he was 2d a moment ago?"
Yeah
Its cool tho, i like the 3d static image its cool and creepy at the same time
@QuanTzuBlueDragon
It's either the Force (Fourth) Armor or the Falcon Armor. I can't be too sure, but I think its the Force Armor.
How many times must Zero die before we can ever find either A) True Peace. or B) A spot at a full character (living)? Huh!?
today i tried fighting the x5 sigma and well you make it look easy. i can for the most part get to second form with little to no damage but i have trouble dodging his purple cube attack. you make it look easy. very nice job
what happens if that purple box hits you? please reply
the first form of sigma theme music is fucking epic !
when i was a child i play every day this game!
i'm fan of Megaman X
I remember finishing Megaman X5 a long time ago, but you certainly played good. Good Job for your mad skills.
@euugato12 Did anyone notice Sigma's appearances all resemble certain characters?
X1 Sigma - Jedi
X2 Sigma - Wolverine
X3 Sigma - Captain America
X4 Sigma - Grim Reaper/Akira(its a crazy enough form to be)
X5 Sigma - X-Men Sentinel
X6 Sigma - Giant C3P0
Why is Zero always getting killed?!
Sigma Final is so scary in this game. I get nervous every time and I've beaten him well over 50 times throughout my life.
I remember i hated those purple boxes at first
This is probably my favorite Megaman game ever
Loved this game... bu WHAT ARMORIS THAT??~?!
