How to unlock the It Ain't Ova Till It's Nova achievement in Mega Man X Legacy Collection - Definitive Guide

Alternatively, you can get the Ultimate Armor pretty quick.
When at character select, highlight X and press the following button sequence:
cn_B, cn_B, cn_left, cn_left, cn_left, cn_left, cn_left, cn_left, while holding cn_LB and cn_RT press cn_start. Now go to Web Spider's stage and get to where usually the Leg upgrade capsule is (found in stage 1, go all the way to the right until you have to drop down. Eventually, you will see four streams of water going down where you have to go left to slide further down, don't! go right up the little step to find the capsule), will now present you with the Ultimate Armor and infinite Nova Strike. Finish up the stage and defeat the boss with Nova Strike in the stage after.

What's the best way to charge it up if you don't have the ultimate armor? How do you use it once it is charged?

If I am not mistaken, it is by taking damage to charge it up. Correct me if I'm wrong (and I probably am lol)

I gave you a positive vote, but I can obviously see why you are getting many downvotes. If someone saw your solution first and got the ultimate armor using the code and didn't realize it, they would finish the game only to find that the 'True Hero' achievement is voided and would require an entire additional run to compete all the achievements.

While this is a useful method of getting the achievement quickly, you should at least put up a warning that it will potentially void another achievement if this method is used.

X's Ultimate Armor allows him to use the Nova Strike Giga Attack without losing any of its weapon energy, allowing an unlimited use. It will also give him all of the body upgrades at the one time. The method of gaining the armor is as follows: on the select character screen you will have to hold down a combination of buttons to activate the secret. Highlight X and input the code. do the code above from TG Airborne 88

If you have done this correctly, you'll notice that the light blue joints of X's armor are now purple and you can see it during the gameplay at open first stage. Once you enter one of the hidden Dr Light capsules, you'll receive the full Ultimate Armor which has all the body upgrades as well as the unlimited Nova Strike. I hope you'll get it good luck and have a great game play

The first solution for this achievement is correct but it is also a bit ambiguous. The input for the armor when on the character select screen highlighting X is cn_B,cn_B,cn_left,cn_left,cn_left,cn_left,cn_left,cn_left, BUT AFTER THOSE INPUTS hold cn_LB,cn_RT and presscn_start. If the code worked some of mega man's sprite will change to light purple when the game is started. Complete the intro stage and proceed through web spiders stage until a vertical drop section with an opening behind a waterfall on the right. The usual leg armor upgrade will grant the ultimate armor. Then proceed through the stage and fight web spider. When his health is low use the nova strike ability cn_RTto kill the boss. The attack itself works by jumping about half the normal jump height and then dashing in the air towards the side of the level you are facing so make sure web spider is low on the stage and won't move out of the way before the attack hits.

This can be done by equipping the Body armor parts, which installs the Nova Strike as a sub weapon. This sub weapon is charged by taking damage and is limited to a single use at a time. Alternatively, you can unlock the Ultimate Armor which has unlimited Nova Strikes.

The Ultimate Armor is unlocked by selecting X on the character screen. Then, press , , , , , , , , then press and hold + then until X is selected and the game begins. You will know the code works because the under armor bits of X’s design will appear purplish instead of blue/green. Once you find your first Armor Capsule, X will get the Ultimate Armor in its entirety.

Once you have access to the Nova Strike, fight any boss and weaken it until it’s close to death. Then use the Nova Strike to get in the final hit. You have to time it carefully, if you’re not using the Ultimate Armor, because you will get only one shot. Otherwise, with the Ultimate Armor, just spam the Nova Strike.
