I'm sorry you had so much trouble with Sigma and it soured your perspective on the game.

I love Mega Man X to death and beat it when I was 5 years old, so I can't exactly empathize with your struggle. I've turned away from other games for mechanics I thought were BS as well.

Eh, I'd love to say it's purely the final fight that's to blame, but there's a few design nitpicks that have always irked me. A couple that spring to mind is that the dash is too un-fluid compared to the slide in the original series (espeically when you add jumping to the mix), and it's straight-up bullshit that you have to go most of the way back through Boomer Kuwanger's level to get the heart tank with his own weapon.

Having said that, it's still a great game overall; kick-ass soundtrack, great visuals, and the animal framework of the robot masters lends itself to more creative design. I'm just in the camp that still prefers the original series overall (though it isn't without its bullshit as well; give me MMX over MM1 any day of the week).
