This LP was incredible. TBH, even though X and X2 are better crafted, I have such a nostalgic soft spot for X3 that I prefer it to either, but the game is so terribly easy to break (considering the way bosses respond to their weaknesses) that it's hard to find videos of people doing anything but. Not only did you show off all aspects of the game so beautifully, from bosses to weapons, but your humor and way with words was highly enjoyable in the most groan-tastic of ways. Thank you very much for this :)
Out of all the Mega Man X Sigma boss fights, this one is by far the hardest both his first form and his final one. It was very hard to aim your charge shot at Sigma's final form, and I can't tell you how many times I died on this final fight.
Then the Grim Reaper, Than Alien, Then he ripped off an old Mega Man boss, Then Ripped out the whole zombie thing, I didn't play X7 But X 8 he wanted to be Junk Man. XD
I just want to let you know that this playthrough was really helpful for me! I never really gave X3 a lot of credit as a game until I watched you play it, and then I decided to give it another shot. I gotta tell you, it was a lot better than I remembered it being! So I know it was a while ago, but thanks for doing this playthrough! :) (Also, I left a link to your playlist in the description of my stream-through of X3, since I wanted to credit you for your hard work here. Hopefully, that's all right with you!)
Just finished playing mmx 1-3 on the ps2 collection and your vids were invaluable for x3. I had played 1 and 2 back in the day (still have my mmx1 cartridge ) but never got to 3 so how you showed all aspects of the game helped me not only get through without tons of trial and error but showed the more minute details so I cloud better apreciate the game. So thank you for the amazing series of vids. And having said that I am completely blown away that you managed to get footage of a no hit run on both of sigmas forms because having just done it I have no idea how you did it even as I watch you do it. Anyway this is long enough so cheers!
Mega Jared X it’s not kinda it did foreshadow although I wonder why must he destroy zero even though the virus was destroyed When his chip was destroyed by sigma when he was punched to the chip. But maybe what if he still carries the remain though that explains why there’s still Mavericks going berserk because of that virus
Sigma was initially a reploid, the commander of the Maverick Hunters. The Maverick Virus, also refered to as the Zero Virus originated from Zero, and was created by Dr. Wily, along with Zero. When Sigma broke Zeros head gem (refer to MMX4 flashback cutscene), Sigma was infected, and eventually went maverick. However he instead must have found a way to harness the virus and as such became an incarnate hybrid of himself and the virus. All the bodies he inhabits are more or less shells for him.
Good video! You did quite well in the fight. I have to admit I kind of think they dropped the ball on Kaiser Sigma. It's not a bad fight, but you have this fairly large boss in such a small room, and while it makes it tricky, it feels like a waste to not have a larger arena to fight this big bad body in. Anyways, good work!
Hey guys, creating a Megaman X FanGame, called Megaman Darkworld. The game has 12 playable characters, and 3 game modes: versus mode, story mode 2 Players Co-Op and 1 player. Soon I will be posting an updated demo of the project.
Ugh. Just "beat" this game, but Sigma's fight was so frustrating, with the usual needless "you start from the beginning of the stage and must go through all the dialogs before dying in a few seconds" bullshit, that I gave up and used quick save. Not proud of myself on that one, but seriously, why would they make a boss ten times harder than any other part of the game ? I totally get that a final boss is supposed to be difficult, but this is ridiculous. MMX1 Sigma was fine. Hard enough, and you didn't have to go through a mini level before fighting him. MMX2 Sigma was a pain, but the fight gave you room for errors. But this one ? First part was hard enough to be a final boss' second form. But you can manage to learn how to dodge it without ninja reflexes (I just jumped over the first 4 fireballs then dashed under the last one) and once you can do that, it's easy. But the second form, at what point did anyone in the dev team think it was alright to make the boss burn half your HP with one single missile ? And as a reward for finally beating him, what do you get ? A freaking wall-jump race. And there's the fact that you have to start the whole fortress over if you turn off the console. I don't know anyone who would have the patience to beat all 4 levels in one go as a kid. I really enjoyed the rest of the game, though. The OST is fine, boss patterns are simple, which is what I want from a megaman game, and there was plenty of hidden stuff to discover.
"And there's the fact that you have to start the whole fortress over if you turn off the console." Yeppp. Learned that one the hard way. This is definitely the most pain in the ass MMX game to beat on SNES.
Siempre megaman x trae muchas sorpresas, ese juego me falta por jugar, termine el x, y apenas el x II, me hace falta por aprender más sus movimientos, esta parte es muy interesante.
Ah yes, and that third warp-out amid the explosion. Haunting. We find out years later that was Sigma who had planned ahead and created a Grim Reaper prototype, probably using one of those spare bodies in the incubators. After all he was a virus and he could spread to other bodies. That virus was obviously just a proxy. Or on that had divided off the original--notice how it shrunk at the end. @TechnoMan482: Doppler was the first to apologize, but not the only.
Just like Pianchardo, I too prefer the Doppler ending over Zero ending as it fits more the dark tone of the X-series. The saddness of the pointless war that would eventually reach it's height with the Elf Wars. I do love the Hyper Max armor + Beam saber
As a result, that is why the virus is called the Sigma Virus, and why Zero is not only unaffected by it, but actually gains strength from being infected by it (Megaman X5).
took me 4 years to get the game back in 2000 since i first played it back in 1996 as i use to rent it from blockbuster. unfortunately i kinda beat it after beating kaiser sigma after 6 tries but only to succumb to the firewall chase and i never got back up there again until i bought it at the then funcoland in 2000 and finally beat it like within a week of playing it.
I had my Mega Man X2 and X3, 7, Final Fight 2 and 3 stolen from me. I had those games for over 15 years and literally cried when I found out. This one along with X2 hurt the most. Makes me sad just thinking about it...
I have to admit, I honestly prefer the Doppler ending for X3 rather than Zero's. Doppler atoning for what he did while actually seeing his fate just flows better than the notion of being able to install an antivirus on a beam sabre and having Doppler mentioned in passing while leaving his fate up in the air. That aside, great run once again Bean, congrats. Looking forward to whatever you do in the future.
Am I the only one that noticed there is an entire armada of kaiser sigma bodies in the backround? So... did anyone see to their destruction or did they just scatter into the breeze?
There's a new ending where you beat the game as Zero and Dr. Cain's theme is played. Zero is fully playable right from the start so there's no need to worry about Zero having only one life. This is in a hack named Mega Man X3 Playable Zero.
@Zeithri I prefer this ending because it makes a bit more sense. Of course, "He must destroy Zero", when he's not there already, but we all know that someone will rebuild him... Again. And, why didn't Doppler appear in other titles? Because he died here, this ending has more emphasis with that. And how we put an anti-virus into a saber? xD The only downside is Zero's theme, it's one of the best themes of X3 and for obvious reasons it's not there at the ending ):
Pending X4 is done in the future, I'd love to see a no-damage buster kill on Dragoon. To this day I still just can't manage to do that.. then again, I can't remember if that's just with Zero, or both X AND Zero :P
You know? The only thing that would have made Kaiser Sigma even harder would have been to make it so only full charged shots could hurt him. (lv3+) Or better still! Only lv4-5 shots could hurt him. So if you didn't get that buster upgrade you wouldn't be able to damage him at all. >:)
Loved these playthroughs not only for the info but also for your commentary. It gets me every time. Always thought you would end up doing these for the rest of the series, but the Powered Up challenges came and...well. Any plans on doing those in the future? Or single segment runs for X5~X8? Or Super Mario World...? :)
I'm pretty sure G Gundam aired around the same time this game was being made, too, so it's a possibility. Wouldn't surprise me since there are nods to other anime series in this franchise.
Yeah it aired about a year before this game came out. I know for a fact that every single form of Ultimate Serpent in Megaman ZX is a reskin of the Colony Devil Gundam.
I will eventually try to play them. X4 is my favorite Mega Man game ever, so I want to be in the right mood for it. Right now, I'm burnt out on the series.
first of all, fuck this boss. this has to be the only hard boss from the x1-x6 bosses. when sigma throws the fucking fire balls and I get hit many times that I die like in a minute, not to mention when he throws the shield at you, the only way for me is the saber, the second part is much easier.
Gold Armor > Ultimate Armor _Fight me_ . 3:< Also, I now have a clear grasp of understanding how DUMB Sigma is here. HE'S INVULNERABLE. EXCEPT THE HEAD. WHY NOT USE THE SAME MATERIAL HE USED FOR THE ENTIRE BODY?!?! o_o
Impressive gameplay my friend. These hands are too old and doesnt have the fast reflexes anymore. Also I have this on the switch, the controllers aren't suited for fast reflexes games like this. The dpad sucks and the buttons are too big I find myself dashing into enemies when I dont want to. Nintenso sucks at making controllers. Lastly the joycons keep drifting the left and a terrible lag comes in when I try to play the games with detatched joycons. I shouldve gotten it on the playstation 4 or xbox at least the controls would've been better
I gave up on this game because it's just... garbage compared to X and X2, which were fantastic. I can't tell you how many times I died on this boss, and I just had enough, hence why I'm watching a playthrough instead. 😭

X1 A jedi
X2 An X men
X3 captain America
X4 A castlvania villain
X5 Galactus
Am I the the only one who sees that sigma really is into cosplay?
Lol
you tried but you're not funny
When you said a Castlevania villain I know you mean Death
C mamo
@EL More like a pure Hobo in X6
Who else beat Sigma and was killed by the god damn lava ?
Funny thing is. I escape so many times when i was a kid. Now ive been killed so many times.. completely forgot how to pass that anoying part..
It happens to even the most seasoned veterans of these games, myself included!
Me and its so annoying!
I have like 15 Times
I had the same problem. This climb part is so frustrating. :(
sigma - "and I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you kids and that mangy Rush"
This LP was incredible. TBH, even though X and X2 are better crafted, I have such a nostalgic soft spot for X3 that I prefer it to either, but the game is so terribly easy to break (considering the way bosses respond to their weaknesses) that it's hard to find videos of people doing anything but. Not only did you show off all aspects of the game so beautifully, from bosses to weapons, but your humor and way with words was highly enjoyable in the most groan-tastic of ways. Thank you very much for this :)
I try to show off as much as I can with these games, so comments like these are great to receive. Thank you!
You do an excellent job! I'm watching your X2 LP now, and it is also phenomenal! :)
Terribly easy to break...
I hate that chase sequence it is the reason why it took 30 tries to beat sigma
Out of all the Mega Man X Sigma boss fights, this one is by far the hardest both his first form and his final one. It was very hard to aim your charge shot at Sigma's final form, and I can't tell you how many times I died on this final fight.
I legit think his hit box is broken. I can never tell which shots will hit and which ones will just bounce off of his shoulders
lol first wolverine, now captain america? Sigma sure loves comics and has a serious problem with originality.
+TheDude more like first darth vader/jedi sigma THEN wolverine,then captain america
Then the Grim Reaper, Than Alien, Then he ripped off an old Mega Man boss, Then Ripped out the whole zombie thing, I didn't play X7 But X 8 he wanted to be Junk Man. XD
x7 and x8 dont interest me at all. yes x5 gamma sigma taken from gamma wily megaman 3.
Guess he was ecstatic when he found out that he would be in Marvel vs Capcom Infinite.
And Vile cosplays as Boba Fett, and roleplays in Maverick Hunter X as Starscream.
BEST mmx videos that ive ever seen , good work

You're welcome. I had a lot of fun doing this series back in the day. Glad it's still helping people over five years later now.
The ending kinda revealed MegaMan X 5. Because, if I am correct, that is when X fights Zero.
Mega Jared X it’s not kinda it did foreshadow although I wonder why must he destroy zero even though the virus was destroyed When his chip was destroyed by sigma when he was punched to the chip. But maybe what if he still carries the remain though that explains why there’s still Mavericks going berserk because of that virus
He fought a fake Zero in x2 as well but thats different

Thanks for the spoilers
All they have to do is to destroy the Sigma's OEM spare parts supplier.
Good video! You did quite well in the fight.
I have to admit I kind of think they dropped the ball on Kaiser Sigma. It's not a bad fight, but you have this fairly large boss in such a small room, and while it makes it tricky, it feels like a waste to not have a larger arena to fight this big bad body in.
Anyways, good work!
i think kaiser sigma was a great challenge that couldve been greater if they gave him a very powerful overdrive at half of health.
1:50... HE BECOMES CAPTAIN AMERICA XD

I was that kid lol. Love Megaman because it’s hard lol. Glutton for pain I guess
Well congrats ! I don't think I would have ever made it past the first part back then !
"And there's the fact that you have to start the whole fortress over if you turn off the console."
Yeppp. Learned that one the hard way. This is definitely the most pain in the ass MMX game to beat on SNES.
Siempre megaman x trae muchas sorpresas, ese juego me falta por jugar, termine el x, y apenas el x II, me hace falta por aprender más sus movimientos, esta parte es muy interesante.
4:59 Sigma just looks silly there XD Unlike Wily, am I the only one who sometimes can't take Sigma seriously?
Ah yes, and that third warp-out amid the explosion. Haunting. We find out years later that was Sigma who had planned ahead and created a Grim Reaper prototype, probably using one of those spare bodies in the incubators. After all he was a virus and he could spread to other bodies. That virus was obviously just a proxy. Or on that had divided off the original--notice how it shrunk at the end.
@TechnoMan482: Doppler was the first to apologize, but not the only.
This man really took zero damage. Sigma will always fail with you around lol
Just like Pianchardo, I too prefer the Doppler ending over Zero ending as it fits more the dark tone of the X-series. The saddness of the pointless war that would eventually reach it's height with the Elf Wars.

That aside, great run once again Bean, congrats. Looking forward to whatever you do in the future.
Sigma from X wasn't really hard.sigma from X2 was hard, but this one was an Expert NO QUESTION!
I love ending of "Doppler's last"!!
Am I the only one that noticed there is an entire armada of kaiser sigma bodies in the backround? So... did anyone see to their destruction or did they just scatter into the breeze?
There's a new ending where you beat the game as Zero and Dr. Cain's theme is played. Zero is fully playable right from the start so there's no need to worry about Zero having only one life. This is in a hack named Mega Man X3 Playable Zero.
Sigma is Weak and you got him again Great job!
Zero's music theme is awesome.
best ending music btw
elgato9o I know it's AMAZING
after all, what happened to the DR doopler?
+Jnn1 Only watch the video until the end.
Great jorb, yo. Now I vote you fight Slash beast!
so oyu decided on a no hit run after all bean ol boy, im so proud :D
"TO SAVE MANKIND HE MUST DESTROY ZERO" *WHAT THE FUCK*
@Zeithri I prefer this ending because it makes a bit more sense. Of course, "He must destroy Zero", when he's not there already, but we all know that someone will rebuild him... Again.

I wish I still had this game. That way I could beat it 18+ years later.
ladiesman987456321 will an emulator help?
You know? The only thing that would have made Kaiser Sigma even harder would have been to make it so only full charged shots could hurt him. (lv3+) Or better still! Only lv4-5 shots could hurt him. So if you didn't get that buster upgrade you wouldn't be able to damage him at all. >:)
X6800 The first recommendation is ok, but the latter is just bad design.
During the parts of the credits where the bosses are introduced, what does 'rp' means?
Maybe "Reploid Powers"?
is it me or Sigma shoots a lil more faster in Megaman X3 (collection)
The FBI would like to know your location
Annnd once more, the age old question is asked. THIS game started it. X...Or Zero? Who is stronger? (We'll find out in X4, X4, and X6)
Those creepy tanks in the background kinda remind me of the Tyrants.
@Rexaura888 nah, the virus was completely transferred to sigma when he made contact to zero, leaving zero virus free.
Loved these playthroughs not only for the info but also for your commentary. It gets me every time.
Always thought you would end up doing these for the rest of the series, but the Powered Up challenges came and...well. Any plans on doing those in the future? Or single segment runs for X5~X8?
Or Super Mario World...? :)
Super Mario World, huh? Hmm...
Do you get the Doppler ending if Zero dies at any point, or does he have to be attacked by Mosquitus?
Yep. In both cases, you'd get the Dr. Doppler ending.
In X1/2 sigmas fortress is completely destroyed. In X3...much like the game as a whole.....it's destruction only partially complete.
I always have issue with the wall climb never finished it because of that
I swear to god Kaiser Sigma is a reskinned Devil Gundam.
I'm pretty sure G Gundam aired around the same time this game was being made, too, so it's a possibility. Wouldn't surprise me since there are nods to other anime series in this franchise.
Yeah it aired about a year before this game came out.
I know for a fact that every single form of Ultimate Serpent in Megaman ZX is a reskin of the Colony Devil Gundam.
Wait, you mentioned me in the credits?!?!? I feel so special...
They never did mention how Sigma survived in X4, did they?
Where are the spikes on that upwards corridor?
4:55 X says damn! Wow, I thought this was a kids game l.
Nicholas Sisneros kids below 13 can’t play this game
@@zajikarilam7001 how do you know that?
Great conclusion for great playthrough of a great game. Are you going to do X4 next?
holla at me when u start ur mmx4 playthrough
-Sincerely, A Subscriber-
Is Doppler the only villain to say he's sorry for what he has done?
Why'd megman say he has to destory Zero to bring peace?
Because Zero is the true source of the Maverick Virus
Hey Bean, could you bring the PSX Megaman Xs, they are as awesome as the SNES
I will eventually try to play them. X4 is my favorite Mega Man game ever, so I want to be in the right mood for it. Right now, I'm burnt out on the series.
Mine's too XD
Arrrrrrgh... Your Doppler
first of all, fuck this boss. this has to be the only hard boss from the x1-x6 bosses. when sigma throws the fucking fire balls and I get hit many times that I die like in a minute, not to mention when he throws the shield at you, the only way for me is the saber, the second part is much easier.
Why does Sigma look like the Devil Gundam
Same reason Sniper Joes look like Zakus.
so then how did sigma came with a new body in megaman x4?
werewolf1423 The anti-virus program failed.
Zero should've turned into the main boss after a while. Nah instead he replaces X lol. X gets killed and I'm like wtf....?
7:38 will be happen in MMX9?
Le golpeó en esa parte y no le da porque?
Are you a monster or a robot? How could you defeat him with no damage?
If you didn't know you can defeat Sigma with the Z-Saber but not Kaiser Sigma
Sure you can. We even defeated him with it in the vid after the credits so I could show off the alternate ending!
@@Bean1227 then do it
13:05 in this very video!
I really hate the Sigma virus so much because it stuns the player and gets him or her killed! Who hates this part the most?
Gold Armor > Ultimate Armor
_Fight me_ . 3:<
Also, I now have a clear grasp of understanding how DUMB Sigma is here.
HE'S INVULNERABLE. EXCEPT THE HEAD.
WHY NOT USE THE SAME MATERIAL HE USED FOR THE ENTIRE BODY?!?! o_o
R u goin 2 play mmx4 next?
Just wondering. Do you plan on doing X4?
1:45 Captain América :v
Impressive gameplay my friend. These hands are too old and doesnt have the fast reflexes anymore. Also I have this on the switch, the controllers aren't suited for fast reflexes games like this. The dpad sucks and the buttons are too big I find myself dashing into enemies when I dont want to. Nintenso sucks at making controllers. Lastly the joycons keep drifting the left and a terrible lag comes in when I try to play the games with detatched joycons. I shouldve gotten it on the playstation 4 or xbox at least the controls would've been better
Emulator practice makes perfect.
I beat X2 and X1 But then the lava and fighting him for the third time I didn't win
can you please do the endfight for me? i'am to bad....i will send you my copy of megaman x collection for ps2 and you do it, okay?
I gave up on this game because it's just... garbage compared to X and X2, which were fantastic. I can't tell you how many times I died on this boss, and I just had enough, hence why I'm watching a playthrough instead. 😭
You can beat sigma first phase by using saw blades. As for his 2nd phase... yeah i gave up too.
🙀🙀🙀❤️❤️ dimais
4:54 why does x say "damn" when he could say "dang it" or "dagnabit."
omen
HEY BEAN the ending japanese is better
I'm sorry, but your subtitles to the boss names are incredibly cringey.
