This should've become the standard for secrets.Everything about it is perfect.
It was pretty damn soulful. Also shoryuken on X2
>>12426046It almost is like the kind of rumor you'd hear from kids in the playground if you think about it.>dood you can totally get the hadouken in mega man X, just kill all the bosses and get all the powerups and upgrades then go into armored armadillo's stage and get to the end but you can't take damage and you gotta do it five times, then Dr. Light wearing a Ryu costume will appear and give you the hadouken and you gotta do it just like in Street Fighter II, it's totally true my uncle told me
>>12427712>but you can't take damageI dunno how this part of the rumor has persisted.I believed it for years. Damage doesn't matter at all.Take all the damage you want.
>>12427712Playground rumors like that got started BECAUSE stupid shit like this actually existed in video games. Mortal Kombat's a good example. The real secrets in those games are so absurd-sounding that pretty much any crazy rumor sounds plausible.
>>12427729>Playground rumors like that got started BECAUSE stupid shit like this actually existed in video gamesNah, I remember enough about myself at a young enough age to know this isn't true. I made shit up like this well before things like that MMX1 Hadouken dropped.The desire to make shit up like we're ahead of the curve is part of our DNA. It's called a fish story and they've been with us forever.

>>12426046That's the worst kind of secret ever. No one is ever gonna find it without a guide. But when you do find it, it's a super powerful broken weapon or ability.>>12427729MK always ended up feeling like a bigger game than it is because of things like this and also because of different versions of the same game. One version of MK3 has Noob Saibot, who knows if you can also unlock him on your version? Who knows if a different button combination will do a fatality or even special you've never seen? Maybe you can even find a game inside a game, like Galaga. Maybe I should replay arcade mode and only use kicks, to see if it unlocks anything. Maybe I should do it and only use punches.>>12427732But how do I know you're telling the truth now that you already declared yourself untrustworthy? Yeah, I don't believe that you used to make up stories back then.
>>12427729>Playground rumors like that got started BECAUSE stupid shit like this actually existed in video games.Very few things this obscure and crazy actually existed, at least before 1993 when MMX came out. >>12427806>That's the worst kind of secret ever.He's talking about a different kind of secret than you are, mr stick-up-your-ass.> it's a super powerful broken weapon or ability.And there's literally nothing wrong with that in a single-player game. Something so obscure you aren't going to find it without a guide, and is kind of a pain to get anyway, but is so powerful it breaks the game. (And doesn't persist on passwords)
>>12427723You just have to keep your life at 100% full by the final minecart ride, which is easy with all the bats dropping life pellets as you mow through them.
>>12427712I had a friend that was pretty good at distilling shit. Not retro, but when the Wii came out we would play and he would try to figure out how to play a game while laying down, eating, with his wrist in what ever position it needed to be to woggle the controller correctly. And I would be jumping around like a spastic. It was good times. Everyone thought he was funny and generally appreciated him for being different.
>>12427712>>12427723>>12427894I just thought the damage thing was referring to the use of the hadouken itself after you get it. It only fires if your health is full.
>>12427806What if I pressed my butt against your butt, and then shat directly into your butt?
>>12427806>That's the worst kind of secret ever. No one is ever gonna find it without a guide. This is precisely what ruled about.Mega Man X1 was a game I had beaten multiple times.And then months later, at a farmhouse daycare with some friends, one of the bros brings a magazine upstairs with this PROFOUND secret in it. Of course they didn't say Hadouken back then, they said "Ryu's Fireball." Regardless, we knew what it was. And it ruled.Games you thought you were done with, given new life. That's what secrets do.
Were the Mortal Kombat games the first to have these types of secrets? I mean like where you have to do some action perfectly a set number of times or only pressing a specific button or whatever? Seemed like most secrets on the NES were just found by pressing some combination of buttons at the title screen or doing something simultaneously with the second controller or glitching past some obstacle.
>>12429852Mortal Kombat's secrets are actual bullshit to unlock though. Don't compare them.
>>12426046>Everything about it is perfect.dying multiple times being a requirement was dumb
Lechero gay
>>12429889Escape V also works.
>HADOKEN>SHORYUKEN>shitty gold armor for the last three levels
>>12431753You're forgetting the beam saber.
>>12431758it's very forgettable
>>12429901?
>go through all this bullshit to get the hadouken>lol its gonna be so funny to 1 shot the last boss with this shit fuckin epic lmao>*tink*
>>12435337Even before I did it, I somehow knew it was gonna do that. I don't know why I knew.
>>12427732>The desire to make shit up like we're ahead of the curve is part of our DNA.I literally never had that desire and majority of people I knew also never had that desire. It was always a small amount of people.It's a specific type of person that makes shit up to look like they're a part of the curve. Maybe it would be worth asking all those people what their childhood was like and see if there's any common factors.

>>12435810Don't know what to tell you, Anon. I was one of those kids on the playground who believed those random kids making shit up because I couldn't conceive of kids making shit up on the playground. If you think everyone else must have an irrepressable burning need to make shit up, because you have that need, that's on you.Years later in high school I did make up a stupidly convoluted way to get a secret explosive ice cream in MGS3 once, but it wasn't to look like I'm ahead of the curve, it was to fuck with a friend's brother by proxy that we were both trolling. Fucking with someone by giving them an extremely convoluted way to unlock something to see them try do it, then say "nah nah you must not have done it right" to continue fucking with them is a very different motivation to trying to make yourself look good because no-one else can verify the shit you allegedly know..
It's a low IQ trait
>>12436006No. The desire to see awe and wonder is universal, and it's not a thing that smart people cease to want.It is, however, something that selfish little memespouting faggots don't want."Low IQ" is not part of your normal lexicon. You only started saying it because other people have.
>>12436006Nah
