What if you could Dash at the START of Mega Man X?

- You'd snap the level into billions of fragments, for starters.
Mega Man X is critically acclaimed for many things and pioneered what we love about the series today: the intro stage being one. I'm not going to gush over that because thousands have people have done that. Instead, how about we just throw all of that out of the window for a minute and explore WHY you don't need the dash this early? LOL
I mean, if you're good enough, you can skip almost everything here. Your access to the dash also means you've got dash lemons at your disposal, which deals extra damage compared to a standard lemon. The mini-bosses and such are demolished faster because of that.
The dash's availability from the get-go robs you of that classic feeling of acclimating the player to the game's simple mechanics. Of course, if you're a veteran of the game, you already know what the heck you're doing so having the dash would've at least been nice for a New Game+ mode or something for silly fun like this. Given that it didn't physically break the game means it could've been safely implemented that way.
I lack to hacking skills to do this, by the way. This minor ROM hack was gifted to me long ago from Xjustin3009X, the creator of the X3 Fully Playable Zero Project. As of now, I will not provide the link as this was, like I said, something gifted when I asked him for the muted BGM versions of the SNES trilogy. I'm unaware of any projects he has that are linked to this, so out of respect, I won't just flippantly pass it around unless he doesn't mind.
This is not an indication of a project of my own either. This was just a stupid idea for a one-off video I had when I realized this hack was still on my hard drive. Think nothing deep of it and enjoy, lol.
BGM is from mega sfc. Go support them, please. One of the best friggin' Mega mixers on this site and it's criminal how they only have 2k subs. Some of their music will definitely be in the upcoming X2 Weapon Master run.

You know Justin too? I share a discord server with him and I was there seeing him develop most of the X3 Zero Project Rom Hack. He has since moved on to do more minor stuff that isn't related to Megaman X.
It's almost like playing NG+
Yep, that includes the part where you're a badass now, but the boogie-eating first boss has the cutscene advantage.
Well this fixes some people’s opinions on starting the game without the dash now :p
Kinda crazy to see the Intro be blown through so quickly though.
(Also, WOW that X3 remix of the intro stage theme SLAPS)
Didn't fix it for me lol
Same neither. I don't mind to begin without the dash.
That just looked so natural.
Like it was intended from the very beginning.
Kinda easy to see why they made the Dash part of the initial moveset in future games and not just dependent on the Boots Upgrade. It do really makes a difference on the flow of the game.
Yeah, I think the only reason they DIDN’T in X1 was done fear that new players would either overlook it or be overwhelmed, because there’s no way they didn’t see how much the game flowed with one
@@borby4584 I heard it was to ease classic Mega Man fans into the momentumus dash
Kinda wish this was like a veteran mode in the X Legacy Collection where you had the dash from the start and took like double damage or something, would've made for a neat extra like having the spin dash in Sonic 1 for several of the Sonic Collections.
Forget dashing at the start in Megaman x1 what if you had the Ultimate Armor in X1
"Some people just want to watch the world burn."
X: Hehe, YOURE in danger
Someone put it in X2 via a romhack, but with X1 I think you'll have to stick to just imagining it
We will all remember this when X Corrupted finally releases and we get to use the ultimate armor in 16 bit, along with all the others they bring back
@@SaphStrumm I’ll put some guesses
Head parts get reduced weapon usage? Or you can go the X8 route and have the head crush deal damage.
Body parts get the X2 Giga crush
Arm parts keep hadoken
Leg parts get an airdash
I hate how close you can come to this in the base game, but still not really. Using the password screen can let you input one that gives you the leg upgrade and nothing else, as well as no Mavericks defeated. It’s pretty easy to get the right password using online password generators, and doing that lets you start the game with the dash. Almost.
Inputting and loading any password brings you to the stage select, so you can never do the intro stage with the dash. If you want to include the intro anyway, you’d have to play the intro, exit out/reset, and then input in the password on the password screen. You might as well skip the intro at that point, which isn’t ideal.
Even with that, I’d recommend trying this at least once. Not just for the obvious benefits, but because removing Chill Penguin’s stage as your first Maverick opens up a ton of nonlinearity in all-upgrade stage orders with no revisits(especially if you’re willing to do crazy things like Iceless in Kuwanger’s stage). There might even be a weakness order stage route that gives you all the upgrades with no revisits. It’s pretty nuts for replayability. Then again, you could just play a rom hack with the dash enabled from the start and get the same thing.
Going fast makes me feel alive-
My heart beats
In hyperdrive
This vid is funny to me for one specific reason. Back in the day, I used to play Mega Man X on an emulator that an old friend of mine burned on a CD. This had the unfortunate effect of disabling saves on all titles, so I just went out of my day to beat the games in a single day. X1, however, behaved more strangely. For starters, capsule upgrades would not save - once I got the Dash Boots, they were gone as soon as I started the next stage. But weirder than that, the game would often boot me back to the intro stage with all the weapons and Heart Tanks I'd acquired thus far. As you can imagine, this made for an... interesting intro stage, as well as a bad softlock. If you killed the Bee Bladers with Storm Tornado, the Blader would die too quickly, causing it to block the ledge once the platform collapses and trapping X underneath. I can't blame Capcom for this one because this was never supposed to happen, but it's still funny that it did.
Oh yeah, that’s X1’s antipiracy. Older emulators don’t have a way of circumventing it.
MMX was my first game. Played it like 3000 times as a kid because we were poor and couldn't afford more games. Seeing this...confuses me. Looks amazing but I am so used to seeing this level at running speed that it's like playing with an upside-down controller. It messes with my head and eyes lol
my man magnus refuses to walk for more than 2 frames, zamn
Y'know I more or less experienced this as a kid playing Megaman Xtreme on the GBC. Which was basically a rehash of classic MMX stages on GBC with a simple story to justify it. The game started you off with Dash as a default mechanic. Funny thing is you get the dash boots anyway and the game still says they enable you to dash, even tho at this point all the do is let you crush blocks you jump against.
They also let you automatically dash jump from walls, which is the game's way of compromising for having less buttons to work with.
@@robertanderson9447 I remember seeing in a review that the automatic dash jumping can fuck you over in some spots in that game
Average Megaman Xtreme 1 (gbc) enjoyer:
Looks so fun. Dash really is what make MMX series so rock
Magnus : what if you could dash at the start?
*Other players dashes to their death from being too inexperienced *
Magnus : 😐
For some reason, my post was deleted two times in a row.
Anyway, perhaps it has to do with links, as such I will post this time without one.
Justin did upload a completed version of this hack on RHDN, which includes having the Air Dash as the leg upgrade and also made X1 wall kicking behave like it is done in X2 and X3.
Yeah, that’s cool and all, but what if you could start Mega Man Zero with the dash?
Wait a second…
But what if you start MegaMan Zero with all upgrades?
As in NG+? Rad stuff, that’s for sure.
Vile nailed that Melee Marth grab
3 things:
1. what is that kind of turbo buster?
2. while some of us try to not destroy that much the broken street, Magnus be like:
[concrete goes brrrrrrrr]
3. good add-on with the X-men OST
Did you just wall-jump off the bee bladers???
Goodbye, Chill Penguin.
By far the most cursed thing I've ever seen. After my dozens of playthroughs of Megaman X and slogging through the opening stage seeing this actually melts my brain.
I still feel that the dash should be available at the start considering the entire game is built around it. Trying to beat Launch Octopus without it is actual hell.
Seeing X zoom through the intro stage was sure a sight to behold
Fun Fact: In Mega Man Xtreme you are able to dash in the X1 Opening stage
having dash enabled in the first stage of megaman x1 is cursed
Loved these slow motion effects on the SNES
Let it Be Done! That was fun to watch lolz
I bet this is the appetizer before the main dish 🤤.
My boy dashing
Imagine you had decent movement like a speedrunner, I can see playing the intro with that would be fun!
Funfact: Shooting lemons while dashing in mega man x1 does more damage
I already mentioned that in the video description.
You know what after seeing the dash I think I prefer no dash. It makes the stage so easy, I like the progression as you continue the adventure you gain power and the stages become easier.
It would’ve been nice if you could dash at the start of the game (intro stage) but apparently you can’t do that just because you don’t have the leg capsule.
Have there ever been any other Megaman X games where you fight mavericks in Ferraris?
I sure as hell wouldn't mind resetting on X1 if that was the case lol
I thought I recognized that remix. lol
Honestly, never understood why this was never a feature from the start.
At least X is now able to air dash without any upgrades in X8.
make classic fan ease in X series better
Awesome
the missed joke oppertunity for playing MMZX highway for a seccond :^
but fun aside cool vid sorta wish they just did X1 like that TBH cause then i wouldnt be forced into chill penguin every single time. I guess MHX lets you start flame mamoth tho >.>
That's my wet dream becoming true
Now what if you started X2 without the dash?
Instead of collecting boots you could just dash automatically
wow! megaman x1 but slighty better
...THIS CHANGES NOTHING! 🤣
It would be a much better game to replay, fuck the first level and then having to do half of Chill penguin
Maybe it would be a good game
Mega Man X, but it's more like X2 and X3 or Xtreme.
if only... :(
This feels very illegal in so many ways.
yeah hydoken don't work either😏
