It's not.

Grunts can hit pretty hard early on, specially without heart containers, but it all becomes trivial as soon as you get the body upgrade, so I suggest you beeline for that.

You can go Buffalo > Rhino > Tiger > Beetle > Catfish and get it by the 5th stage, or just suicide after getting the capsules on Buffalo and Tiger and get it by the 3rd instead.

If you really can't handle it just use one of those password generators online and make something that starts you off with the whole armor or just the body upgrade, depending on your taste.

It’s the hardest of the three.

>>6153024
It's definitely the easiest.

>>6152763
It isn't. Git gud zoomer.

>>6153028
>>6153086
Which one is then?

>>6153093
X1, which still isn't hard.

>>6153112
Have to hard disagree. X1 is by far the easiest.

It's pretty fucky before you get upgrades, like 1-2 hit deaths from baddies. Like the other poster said, get the body upgrade and a few Heart containers asap.

>>6153145
>1-2 hit from baddies
Example?

X2 is easiest, followed by X1, then X3.

X3 is best managed by doing Rhino first, followed by Hornet, as the drill and ride armor are needed for tons of other things. However if those stages/bosses are too tough, Buffalo, then Tiger is also acceptable because this gives you Bit, Byte, AND Vile's weaknesses, air dash, 2 E-tanks, and a heart tank. Plus, Ray Splasher is just useful IMO, like for that one drill-bot in Rhino's stage who is guaranteed to hit you unless you can hit him from the ladder.

My first playthrough of X3 I started with Hornet.
Took me at least 10 tries before I could defeat that fuck.

I beat it recently, didn't have much trouble at all. Felt like some of the bosses were bullshit with some of their moves but the game was pretty underwhelming as a whole.

man even my little brother could rip this game to shreds and he was like 10 and there wasn’t no fucking gamefaqs back then, let alone youtube. what exactly are you having trouble with? this is a serious question. i know i just shit on you a bit but really, which part is hard? we can’t tell you how you’re fucking up if you don’t tell us where you are fucking up.

>>6153197
He's honestly pretty easy once you watch him for a while, because you can do some funny things to him like charge-shot his free-flying hornet the second one comes out, which cancels the entire sequence. And then because he always moves in the same figure 8 and his rush attack is pretty predictable, he's toast. But yeah, when you don't know him, he seems intimidating.

>>6153158
I don't know if I have one, and was just exaggerating and/or remembering wrong. Lol

>>6153093
None

Of course beating it with all the items is easy, any 8 year old can do that To a novice player its gonna be the hardest of the 3, it has the hardest buster-only bosses of the 3 games. On a buster-only run, with none or minimal health upgrades and no e-tank use, Junk Robot, Blast Hornet, and Sigma are hard,

>>6152763
Best out of the SNES games imo

>>6154702
>good taste
>(You)
Pick both, king.

>>6152763
To tell the truth Kaiser Sigma is the hardest snes Sigma for me.

>>6154739
If you have the leg upgrade, you can Up-Dash over his head easily. He's rather predictable otherwise.

>>6152763
It's not a polished game, mostly because it was outsourced on a rush schedule to the folks that did the classic Game Boy games while the main team responsible for prior main titles were prepping for the next generation and, consequently, X4.

>>6152763
its definitely the easiest in terms of platforming and how you deal with enemies and their patterns, including bosses. the only thing 'hard' about it is the fact that there are alot of enemies can deal alot of damage to X without his armor and without hearts you can get butt blasted if your anything below anywhere near okay at the game.

>>6154861
And yet somehow, it's the best one. Maybe that's because "outsourcing" is a fucking terrible argument.

My problem with X3 isn't the amount of damage you take, but rather how much damage the enemies take. I remember that most of the enemies required slightly more than a charge shot to kill.

>>6155941
I never had this problem.
And might as well just use the other weapons too.
Use the Frost Shield, Use Thunder Triad, Use Spinning Blade, Ray Splasher. They're very useful.
If you run out of weapon energy just use some Acid Burst on some enemies...enemies will always drop weapon energy when you kill them with Acid Burst.

In addition you don't even need to kill most enemies you can skip them too.

>>6155886
>And yet somehow, it's the best one.
Yeah no.
I like X3 but it's clearly inferior to X1 and X2 in pretty much every way.
The boss design alone goes completely down the shitter.

>>6157774
>it's clearly inferior to X1 and X2 in pretty much every way.
How?

>>6157774
But it isn't. It took everything good about X1 (like the environmental effects) and X2 (polygonal graphics and airdashing) and added to that.

>>6154702
impossible. the music fucking sucks

The damage output from enemies, try to get as many heart and sub-tanks as soon as possible.
