Originally thought to be an April Fools joke, it turns out that Capcom really did hide a onehitkills weapon in Mega Man X. That platform in Armored Armadillo's stage always did seem a little strange. Unlike the later games, collecting the Hadoken is much more time consuming.

Hetfield managed to improve the previous run ( https://tasvideos.org/2771M ) by 6.5 seconds, thanks to better lag reduction and overall better optimisation. Please read the author's comments ( https://tasvideos.org/5181S ) for more details.
