Mega Man X is Ready to Rock! 100% Guide (w/Achievements) for the series!

[Fionordequester]

Alright guys, ready for X2?  The game that took everything good about X1, and ramped it up even higher?  Then come!  Step into a new adventure!



Part 1: Mega Man X2 (100% Guide)—Opening & Wire Sponge (All Trophies/Achievements)

BASIC INFO:
1) I'm playing the plain SNES version, so I'll be using captions to mark what achievements I would've won, had I been playing on the Legacy Collection version.
2) The X-Buster's been re-worked from X1.  Basic shots do 3 Damage, Dash Shots do 5, LVL 2 (green) shots do 5, and LVL 3 (blue) shots do 8.  Bosses take lessened damage from all these.
3) Enemy HP has been streamlined since X1.  Regular enemies will always take the damage listed above from the X-Buster (rather than the LVL 3 Shots doing less to some than others).
4) Regular enemies now have weakness weapons, just like bosses do.  More on this in Part 2.
5) Enemies will not usually drop health AND ammo.  They will usually drop one or the other.

ACHIEVEMENTS SO FAR:
1) "Size Matters Not"—Beat the opening stage without taking damage.

Wire Sponge A.I.:
1) Switches to different attack when you move to the other side.
2) The ceiling attack ends when 4 vines are on the ground, or when he's thrown 7.
3) His desperation move starts when he is under 10 HP, and then electrifies his attacks.
