Eh, X4 Sigma wasn't too hard. X6 Sigma was harder.

I had slight problems with X4 Sigma but only because of the controller I was using at the time. His patterns are very easy.

Yes, but not as easy as waiting for 3-4 openings to get a hit on X6 Sigma.

X6 Sigma wasn't easy, but I had fun fighting him.

I hated fighting X4 Sigma as Zero, especially his final form. It was just freakin' annoying.

Same here. And it wasn't too bad because his lil' green dudes can refill all your Sub Tanks for you every time. But that big black energy ball thing...

That guy was annoying too. I think I only beat him once with the Blade Armor. All other times were with the Ultimate Armor. :O

I even thought that X5's Final Sigma was tough. Then again, that may have had something to do with the fact I'm not a very big fan of the Ultimate Buster.

X7's final Sigma is actually fun to beat. I can beat him wiithout leaving the starting platform. Frankly, I'd rather stay away from any chance of falling because the camera angle effs up or Sigma hits you with some attack that throws you off your feet.

It's a real shame that there aren't any Ultimate Armors in X7. Also, instead of having to collect all the Heart Tanks again after clearing the game, the ones you collected already, should be carried over to your New Game Clear Data and all 3 Life Up pickups (Heart, Rescue and Boss) should all respawn in the new cleared game. The max could be....I dunno, 64? Same should go for the Weapon Energy bonuses.

Stupidest idea for a level though: Ride Boarski's. Capcom thought it might be cool to add the Ride Chaser in with the 3D concept, instead it just did not work at all. You were better off getting off the bike and walking in that stage.

I also beat X7 Sigma without leaving the start platform. I don't think of it s anaccomplishment - that's the biggest of hte platforms, so by far it is the safest.

The first couple of times I fought X4's Sigma it was pretty hard. However, I really enjoyed X4, and thusly played over and over again. I can now beat X4's Sigma, all four forms, with X, without being hit. That's with no armor, upgrades, subtanks, or special weapons use mind you. (save for the first body, which you have to use it's weaknesss to hit it)

Uh... no, you can damage him with the normal weapon. It's just it won't negate his own attack.

I'm afraid you are mistaken. Phantom Sigma is completly invincible except for the flame attack. Are you playing a ROM by chance? In both the PC, and PS1 version, Sigma's Phantom form is completly invincible except for the flame attack.

This is incredibly strange... The shots just bounce off of him in both the PS1, and PC versions of the game. A charged shot also does absolutly no damage. The only way I can hurt him is by using the flame shot...

We are talking about the same game here arn't we? X4? I'm not the only one I know whom has the game, a friend of mine has it and I remember vividly when he first got to the end of the game he thought it was impossible to beat it. He had used most of the special weapons against Sigma's first form, but apparently skipped the flame weapon. I found it and beat him with it with ease. Anyway I remember that pretty clearly because he had hit him with he thought was every weapon and couldn't hurt him. I was dumbfounded myself till I used the flame weapon...

I believe you're not making up what you say, and I'm not trying to be rude or anything. I just don't understand why the PSX version would be different...hm... This is very...very strange.

I personally never attempted to kill Sigma's first form in X4 without the fire weapon. Checking with GameFaqs, the fire weapon is apparently the only way to hurt Reaper Sigma.

I fired up the Playstation version to settle this once and for all. I went with X equipped with the Ultimate Armor. Reaper Sigma's only weakness is indeed Rising Fire: the buster, charged or not, or any of the other weapons do not deal any damage. He's also immune to Nova Strike!

And why Sigma never applied that power to a bigger body of his, having the weakness be in a different game entirely?

Sigma: You can't hurt me!
X: Yes I can! PAUSE MENU! *scrolls through weapons*
Sigma: ..... It's about time I make my big body invulnerable...
X: I got it! *shoots* *dink*
*dink*
*dink*
*dink*
*dink*

*dink*
Sigma: (full life) Oh, gee, Ow, X... you REALLY got me there!
X: Well, those may not beat you, but this will! NOVA STRIKE!
*dink*
Sigma: .....
X: What CAN I kill you with?
Sigma: Soul Body, X4. BUT THIS IS X9, SO YOU CAN'T GET IT! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!

Let's just pretend there's a universal law that God himself came down to earth and said "MET ALLOY SHALL ONLY BE USED FOR METHATS, AND HE WHO DOTH ATTEMPT OTHERWISE SHALL DIE ON THE SPOT.".

And actually, I've noted two things that have destroyed Methats in the past.

MegaMan's POWER armor in MegaMan 6. The charged punch can smash right through! 8o

And that giant Crusher thing in the intro stage of MM7. Apparantly Met Alloy has it's breaking points concerning pressure.

... There's just something to be proud of when you can say you've beaten the hardest boss in (name here) series, isn't there?

As far as most annoying boss goes...

I have to say, Snipe Anteater from X7... I HATE that fight. You're on this big, tubical platform, but you can only hang out on the topside, while Anteater has access to the entire 180 degrees of it's surface. That means he can hang out down below and shoot antbombs and missiles at you.

And the ONE weapon that's supposed to be his weakness? DIDDLY SQUAT. The "Moving Wheel" is truely as worthless as it's name is uncreative.

Actually, I hit him from the side with the Moving Wheel when he was spinning, and it hit him, adding recoil and doing a good bit of damage - but the charge shot still works better.
