    I personally think X3 is the best, followed by X and X2. The rest are sub-par in my opinion.

    X4 left a good taste in my mouth, plus it had this:

    Close one between Megaman X4 and X2 for me. Music was excellent in both, and the Shoryuken in X2 was awesome but X4 edged out only because I had the Japanese version and the anime cutscenes were pretty hardcore despite not understanding any of it....

    After playing Megaman 2 & 3 on the NES, I never really got back into Mega Man until Zero 2 so I've never been a big X fan. I have played the first three through ehm, not fully legitimate ways, but none of them really stuck with me. I might say X2 because you start with the dash move. That limited chance that you'll be able to get all of Zero's parts though sucked. 
     
    Y'know what? I'm gonna say Mega Man X: Command Mission, that was pretty fun and didn't overstay its welcome (i.e. it wasn't all that great after a while but it was short enough that I finished it anyway).

    I'm glad that the votes are tied between X3 and X right now. They're my favorites. I voted for X3.

    I've only ever played Megaman X, and, even though I've only played it a handful of times (it was a friend's, and I never had a SNES), the music is some of my most favorite in all of video games.
    EDIT: So therefore it's best.

    I like X2 the best, but the first four are all good. Conversely, the latter four are all shit.

    None! Only Mega Man 1 and 2 need to be played! Maybe 3 9 and 10 too. None of this X stuff.

    Maverick Hunter X is great.  Since it's a remake of the first game, I'll go with the first game.

    Probably X3 for me.  I guess I'm lucky that I only actually played the first three of the series.

    Dude, calm down.  When people say "British accent", they mean English.  I know that, pretty sure you do too.  This is about as worthwhile a place to start complaining about that as it is for me to flip out at people calling the Mandarin language "Chinese" considering China probably has more different spoken languages amongst its population than any other country in the world.

    @TechHits:  I do own Mega Man X collection and Mega Man Anniversary Collection for PS2. I just haven't played past Mega Man X yet at least for the X Series. I didn't have easy access to my PS2 until recently so I might get back into it.

    The original is probably the greatest.  Though my personal favorite is X6 because it is just so crazy hard amongst other weird reasons.

    Original is still the best, the story wasn't all super freaking crazy (like in the last half of the series) and the music is awesome. X2 is also really close to being the best with the improved bosses and abilities. X3 is great too but the music (sans the intro level) is not as good as the previous. X4-X6 range from okay to medicore. 


    Don't even talk to me about X7 or X8. I don't even acknowledge their existence.
