i haven't done much on the web since long, mainly because of school but i got like 20 free min now and i will write about some awesome games (mainly about their bosses) i played on my childhood and recently downloaded.

on megaman x there's usually around 12 bosses plus the last one and it's many forms, the thing is that after the intro stage you get to choose from 8 levels, each with a different boss(note:after beating a boss you get a weapon related to him, that weapon is another bosses's weakness), after beating those you open the last levels, wich are usually around 3, on those stages you usually beat the 8 bosses again plus some other, harder, ones.

for those of you unfamiliar with these games i will list some actions:
walking-duh

shoot-you can fire your xbuster (infinite ammo) or any weapon you got from a boss (limited but replenishable ammo), you can load your buster 3 levels (4 if you got the upgrade).

normal-fire small yellow bolts of plasma, the good thing is that you can fire in a quick succesion and keep a few of them at the screen.

green-load for like a second, more or less, this is quite useful for killing weak enemies because they are usually fast and die in 1 hit from this, so...if you're in too much of a hurry load up to this point and shoot.

blue-load for 1-2 seconds or maybe 3, this shot is the strongest you can use if you haven't obtined the cannon upgrade, it is quite useful and will destroy many weak enemies in 1 shot, it also is a lot wider than the green shot so it is easier to hit stuff

pink-load for like 3+ seconds, this shot is like a pink snake-plasma thingie
that causes a lot of damage, strong enemies usually fall before it in one shot or one shot and some yellow shots.

after you get the cannon upgrade you can load boss weapons to get amusing results.

start-this pauses the game and allows you to peacefully change weapons and use your subtanks, if you've already beaten the stage you're in you can also exit from here.

jumping-duh

dashing-after getting the boots upgrade you can use this to move left or right VERY quickly.

dash-jumping- this is very useful (even necessary to get some things) first you dash and while you're at it you jump, this will make you jump with extra momentum and allow you to cross pretty much an entire screen.

wall-climbing- get near a wall and start jumping while moving in the direction of the wall, you will start to climb it with your jumps, this is necessary to beat the game so it can be considered basic.

wall-dashing-when you want to leave a wall you can just jump from it (it's intuitive how to do this) or you can dash-jump from it, hold the dash button as you jump off to jump in different way (faster, higher, etc.)

note that some of this may be incomplete because i often finish the bosses quickly or do stuff that modifies their normal behavior.

here are the bosses on megaman x, most of the bosses in megaman games can jump and you will get hurt if you touch an enemy.

vile-
you can't beat him, his attacks are unavoidable and you can't hurt him.
don't worry, you're supposed to loose.

chill penguin-
this should be the first boss you kill as he is the easiest and the boot upgrade is in his level (i just can't live without dashing).

his attacks are all easy to avoid:
1-he sometimes throws on his belly and tries to ram you, just jump over him (not recommended as he may bounce off a wall and still hit you) or get on a wall, where he can't touch you.
2-he sometimes throws chunks of ice, just get on a wall.
3-he also makes ice figures shaped like penguins, touching them hurt you, now he can either shoot ice chunk and do nothing, ram you (he breaks the figures when he does this) or...do:
4-he jumps up and uses the device at the center of the ceiling to create a small, short blizzard wich will push you, it can be in either direction, afterwards he will drop down. the blizzard will also push the ice figures, wich may hit you, the solution to this is simple, just dash ill you get near the wall the blizzard is blowing toward to,or...dash in the opposite direction to avoid being pushed(i would only do this if the penguin is already on the ground).

the x buster is a neat weapon for this but if you have it you may want to use the fire wave, which will deal extra damage to him.

after beating him you get: shotgun ice
this weapon will fire a small, ice shot which will break down into many other shots after hitting something, those shots will bounce into the direction opposite of the object hit.

when loaded it: generates a penguin figure you can jump on and ride for a small while.

ok it's almost 10:00 pm so i will leave it here and unless i get grounded bad tomorrow for my bad grades i might write more then.

storm eagle-ok, now let's move on to storm eagle, he's usually the second i kill since he's pretty easy and makes spark mandrill's stage easier.

the place you fight him on has no walls or roof

he has few damaging attacks:
1-he flaps his wings to generate wind and throw you from the platform, just dash in the opposite direction
2-he fires a storm tornado, this wont hurt you but it will push you a lot, just keep dashing
3-he throws an egg from his mouth and 4 small birds appear and fly in your direction, just get away from them and fire a charged shot at them
4-he goes up and makes several dive-attacks, they are quite easy to avoid if you can dash.

after beating him you get:storm tornado, flame mammoth's weakness and a pretty useful weapon since it is long and keeps dealing damage after being shot.

charged it does: it becomes a slightly less useful tornado that damages the enemies over or under you.

spark mandrill-
his attacks are a bit harder to avoid than the other bosses's but he's pretty weak, just use the shotgun ice, that weapon will not only deal a lot of damage but freeze him too.

attacks:
1-he uses a dashing punch, this is pretty hard to avoid since if you're on a wall when it hits then you fall off, just dash-jump from the wall before he hits.
2-electric spark, he will hit the ground and produce 2 purple sparks that travel in both directions, they can go up walls, just jump over it.
3-he often grabs the wires in the roof and moves there a bit, he will drop down when you're under it, just use the dash.

when you beat him you get: electric spark, this weapon fires quite quickly and and becomes 2 smaller sparks when it hits a wall, it's armored armadillo's weakness.

when charged it: creates 2 walls of electricity, one of each side, the walls then fly off damaging things.

flame mammoth-
a very easy boss, btw the buster upgrade is in his level and you need both the boot and helmet upgrade to get it, he's weak to storm tornado and boomerang cutter will cut his trunk.

this room is bigger than the other ones and the floor will move both of you.

attacks:
1-he lifts his arms and the floor will start moving in the opposite direction
2-he jumps, his jumps make you fall, doing no damage.
3-he shoots some kind of oil which will like make you stuck to the floor
4-he shoots fireballs

when you beat him you get: fire wave, this is chill penguin's weakness and a pretty neat but short-ranged weapon, keep the button pressed to use it like a flamethrower.

when charge it: produces a real fire wave wich moves through the floor destroying things.

armored armadillo-
his weakness is the electric spark, he will sometimes block your attacks and, if they're charged shots, shoot them back in a hard to avoid explosion, electric spark will break his armor, depriving him of his block.

attacks:
1-he becomes a ball and rolls, it's quite easy to avoid if you can calculate where it will be
2-he starts shooting you with a cannon, it's not hard to avoid, just stay on a wall.
3-if you shot him with a charged attack and he blocked then he will release many shots in all directions.

after beating him you get: rolling shield, launch octopus's weakness, this is like a ball that goes through the ground and bounces off walls.

when charged it: creates a useful shield around you which will kill weak enemies and stuff, it will dissappear if you touch a stronger enemy (but it will damage them anyway).

i'll leave it here for now cuz i g2g again.
TO FIND AND DOWNLOAD THIS GAME LOOK FOR MEGAMAN X EMULATORS ON GOOGLE AND DOWNLOAD A SNES EMULATOR, I RECOMMEND IT, THESE ARE AWESOME GAMES.

launch octopus-
this guy is quite easy, you fight him underwater so you kinda jump higher.
the rolling shield will cause a lot of damage to him but he also has a second weakness to the boomerang cutter (using it will cut his tentacles off, after he has no tentacles switch to rolling shield).

attacks:
1-throw torpedoes at you, shoot these with a charged shot
2-shoots a different kind of torpedoes
3-creates a whirlwind, dash so you don't get sucked in
he doesn't use this attack if you have cut his tentacles.

when you beat him you get: homing torpedo, boomer kuwanger's weakness, this is one of the most useful weapons, it fires missiles that follow theior targets.

when charged it: shoots many stronger torpedoes at the same time.

boomer kuwanger-
this guy is easy, and if you got homing torpedoes he is so easy a brain-dead one armed baby can beat him, just keep shooting, he doesn't do much damage so you don't have to worry about dying if you're not hurt.

attacks:
1-he can throw a boomerang which moves in an arc and is easy to avoid
2-he kinda like teleports
3-he can grab you with his horns and throw you to the ceiling.

when you beat him you get: boomerang cutter, use this against sting chameleon, it is like a boomerang wich goes in an arc (moves up if you're on the ground, down if you're jumping), it's not very strong but you can grab items with it.

when charged it: creates many large boomerangs that fly wildly around the place.

sting chameleon-
probably the hardest of the 8 bosses, he is weak to boomerang cutter and is hard to kill without it.

the room where the fight occurs has spikes on the ceiling (weaker spikes, these don't 1-hit kill you)

attacks:
1-he fires 3 green stings
2-he hangs from the ceiling and makes some spikes fall
3-he hits you with his tongue

attack 2 is hard to avoid and attack 3 can be predicted (he moves to a lower place than usual), attack 1 is easy to avoid.

when you beat him you get: chameleon sting, this is useful against storm eagle, it fires 3 stings, 1 horizontal and 2 diagonal.

when charged it: makes you invulnerable for a short time.

those are the 8 mmx bosses, soon i will write about the other bosses you find on the last stages.

the best boss in a megaman x serie is storm eagle in my opinion.
