  3. Maximum Metals

    This glitch is intended to give you the max number of metals in the game in just one pause during gameplay. First you need to have a life tank and make sure its not completely full, recommended half full. Second you need to have less than 50 metals. Go to the the R&D development room and get a life charge for the life tank which costs 50 metals to obtain, the game will glitch out and your metal counter will disappear from screen. go to any level and go find a single metal anywhere on the level, the metal counter will increase insanely. Now press start to pause and bring up the player menu screen, your counter will read 9999999, the maximum number of metals possible in the game!

  4. Shoryuuken with Zero

    Equip the K Knuckle and press up+special weapon to preform the spinning uppercut. Normally this would be Hyouryuushou

  5. Rasetsusen Glitch

    This glitch requires the use of a controller which allows the pressing of the D-Pad Up and Down simultaneously. When Zero or Layer use it, press and hold Up, then also hold Down. In doing so, you'll move straight up rather than down as intended, making it easy to get to high area and beyond even the stage's bounds.

  6. Ryu's Hurricane Kick

    Equip the K Knuckle on Zero and jump up and press Triangle.

  7. Shoryuken with X

    You can do a shoryuken with X (in his ultimate armor).

    Hold Up and press triangle.

    This move appeared in Megaman X2 as an ultimate move (like the Hadoken in Megaman X1). It's not powerful at all, but a fun easter egg.

  2. Unlocking Alia, Layer, and Palette

    Along with unlocking X's, Zero's, Axl's secret armor, the Navigators -- Alia, Layer, Palette -- can be unlocked as playable characters. If you completed the game on Normal or Hard and load the clear game file, the weapon for Navigator you used the most in your previous round becomes available in the R&D Lab. To unlock the other two Navigators' weapon, clear any four stages (can be done with previously cleared stages) with the Navigator you are trying to unlock. Alia, Layer, and Palette play as female counterparts of X, Zero, and Axl respectively, although Alia cannot use X's armor parts and Palette cannot transform into enemies. NOTE: Dispatching any of the Navigators will forbid you from having them help you in the stage.
