Robo's Dreams

I am playing Megaman X, I notice powers that I have never seen in the game before:

Shield -puts up a defensive steel barrier between you and your enemy, it can be suspended in the air.

The hover ability has been improved, now it's more of a rocket boot that enables flight.

"Volcano" -did not get a chance to use this ability, sounds devastating...

Speed up -my running speed is dramatically increased, used during the boss fight.

Multiple different colored shots fired in many different directions (unnamed?)

Warp drive -I warp in rapid succession, skipping points in space, making it incredibly difficult to hit me.

Bow -launches an arrow

as well as some of the abilities from the game

Electric Spark -shoots a ball of electricity, can be charged to create a shockwave

Shotgun ice -Shoots a large, spiked chunk of ice, shatters when hitting a wall or enemy and rockets multiple shards of ice in the opposite direction, causing damage to anything except me standing in the way.

Flamethrower -self explanatory

I make my way through the level, the enemies provide little challenge, my main interest is to test out some of my weapons, I notice that the weapon selection grid is packed with more powers than normal, normally it's 5X5, there appear to be at least double that now, as well as the ability to use two shots at the same time.

I reach the boss room, the wall drops, and shuts me in. the boss is a giant metal plant. I test out a few more of my powers, mostly the evasive ones. I take a few shots at the enemy, but since I'm focusing more on evading attacks, I don't do a lot of damage to the boss, it whittles down my health little by little here and there, until I wake up.
