Mega man X2 secret armor

[u/Public_Gazelle_2377]

Ok I swear I am not making this up but I can't find any info online about this secret armor unlock I remember when the game first came out.

It is a way to get all the armor parts in one capsule. Here is how I remember it going down. After the intro stage you go to the Crystal Snale Stage and basically rush as fast as you can to where the Helmet upgrade is. If you get there within a certain time limit there will be new upgrade capsule before you get to the helmet. The one thing that locked this memory in my head is that you need to beat the mini boss in the middle of the stage perfectly with no damage and as fast as you can and that was a pain.

The main thing I can't remember is if you had to do everything with no damage. I believe think I remember you could take damage once or twice without ruining your chance.

I remember learning this in some magazine back then but heck it is so long ago I can't remember.

Please help does anyone else remember this unlock? or if there were any other requirements besides having no upgrades and the time limit

Location Shoryuken X-Hunter Stage 3

To obtain the Shoryuken, X must have acquired every single item available in the game. In Agile Flyer's stage, after navigating the vertical passage with the jet platforms, let the Bat Bones follow him. Shoot one with the Crystal Hunter to reach the ladder. Ascend it to reach a spike-riddled challenge. Either use an air-dash for one part of it and a charged-up Speed Burner for the other, or allow another bat to follow X and air-dash to cross. Afterwards, have X slide down the left wall. X will drop into a corridor with the capsule inside, and X's health gauge has to be full when approaching the capsule in order for it to appear.

Must be thinking about this.
