This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/3197M
TAS originally published on 2016-08-15

Originally thought to be an April Fools joke, it turns out that Capcom really did hide a one-hit-kills weapon in Mega Man X. That platform in Armored Armadillo's stage always did seem a little strange. Unlike the later games, collecting the Hadoken is much more time consuming.

Hetfield managed to improve the previous run ( tasvideos.org/2771M ) by 6.5 seconds, thanks to better lag reduction and overall better optimisation. Please read the author's comments ( tasvideos.org/5181S ) for more details.

If you want to see more of the blue-clad hero, we recommend watching the any% run ( tasvideos.org/3151M ).

I know TASBot never needs extra lives but it physically hurt to watch him skip it at the start of Chill Penguin

He crossed almost the entire stage by jumping on the side of a boomerang captured platform. I seriously learn something new every time I see another speedrun or TAS run.

I never liked X1's speedruns.. until this TAS... OMG, it was Incredible. Thanks Hetfield90 for this.

I never used Boomerang Cutter on the optional boss in Sting Chamelion's stage because I thought it wouldn't leave me with enough for Chameleon himself. It never occurred to me that an enemy could drop weapon energy to refill it.

TFW you look in the comments and you see people who don't get what the point of a TAS is and complain about the run

I'm so upset they nerfed the Hadouken, it did so much more damage in Street Fighter 2
