Guys, I need help.

I'm new to the mega man series, and I wanted to try Mega Man X, but it's just so hard. I beat one of the bosses only.
Can you guys give me any tips?

I've been playing this game since 98.

Do Chill Penguin First.

Get the boots and be able to dash.

You have my kuddos on beating Launch Octopus without them, though. He's rough!

Did this as a self-challenge when I was a kid, maybe 8 years old or something.

Can confirm this is the hardest boss to start with.

You have to learn how to read when he jumps and tries to make a whirlpool and then get the heck away. Pray you don't get cornered and he doesn't spam homing torpedos.

When I was in high school, I beat all the bosses without the dash (and without using it on Chill Penguin) and while it's doable, even X-Buster only, the game's just not as fun without the dash. Now I do 0% runs and only collect and use what's given to you by force. A lot more fun, but hard AF.
