Way back when I was a young and impressionable girl, popping Megaman X into my SNES for the first time, I started the intro stage and the music swelled and I thought: man, I think I'm in love. Fast forward to 2010. Over ten games in the series later (if we include the sidestories), I'm in my twenties, and I'm still a total dweeb for MMX. Who queues this music up routinely in iTunes.
This post is a linkdump of badass music to fight Mavericks to. This isn't every song in the series, just the ones I'm particularly fond of. Which is still plenty. I'm not sure if there's much of a purpose to posting this, really, but I had a lot of fun putting it together, so why not!
For the record: I think the best of the lot are X, X5, and X6, with X4 and X7 coming in just after them. X2 and X3 are decent but overall I'm not quite as fond of them, and X8 has a few amazing tracks (the ones I picked) and then a lot that I find pretty mediocre.
