Topic: favorite special weapon in all of X series

[Chainsaw Guitar]

Good point. It's essential for getting through the area in Sigma Fortress 1 after Zero dies. Or at least, it makes it a whole hell of a lot easier.

No, it's essential. Gotta reserve all the hits you can take if you want to survive the Bospider!

[Mirby]

What? I can beat the Bospider without even getting hit!

Once I get off my ass and resume my X1 playthrough, I'll show you!

[rock_volnutt2010]

bospider is pretty easy shotgun should get an effective hit or hadouken for 1-hit KO

[Mirby]

That is one of the most hilariously appropriate image ever.

[Chainsaw Guitar]

My strategy against the thing is to just dash back and forth along the room and hope it doesn't land on me. Is there anything else I can do against something with such an erratic pattern, and with such a giant hit box?

[Mirby]

Calculate where it will land based on the pattern of connectors it lays out. If there is a column with no connectors to it, hide there unless it appears at the top of that. It's pretty simple, really.

[Hypershell]

What Talyn said.  If you think quick you can anticipate where Bospider will land.  Watch the connectors that appear; Bospider will always take every curve possible on its way down.

Ever play Ciel's minigame in MMZ3?  Same pattern.

Wow, really? seriously? really? really?

The best advice I've ever gotten before was "TO DEFEAT BOSPIDER, SHOOT AT IT WITH SHOTGUN ICE UNTIL IT DIES! " So I did just that.

[Mirby]

Is this better advice or not? I'm confused.

Of course, since Shotgun Ice is its weakness, still use that.

[Frozen Potato]

Seriously....i never knew Bospider's weakness was Shotgun Ice.....gonna try this 

[Hypershell]

"Weaknesses" in SNES X games mean 11 hits to die instead of 16 (unless you're Chill Penguin, then it just means lighting your ass on fire).  Nevertheless, yes, Shotgun Ice is the way to go.

[MrLeviRatX]

Im a huge fan of storm tornado, its amazing, i remember first playing and when i pulled out that weapon of mass destruction, everyone else was screwed

[Shield_Joe]

I've always liked to use Rolling Shield, although that's mostly for the laughs of seeing bosses get defeated by a Pink X and the fact that you could hit Sigma's final form with it without having to do any charging up.
