How to unlock the Power Isn't Everything achievement in Mega Man X Legacy Collection - Definitive Guide

Edit - Feb. 10, 2020: Others have stated that the target boss appears at different points for them so it may depend on which route you take.

Byte appears after you've deafeted 6 stage bosses and he appears in the mini boss room on the 7th stage boss's level. It's a fairly tough fight so bring some Sub tanks, remember to not have picked up any Ride Armor up to this point either and don't use any special weapons, just the X- Buster.

To beat him, climb the wall and air-dash over him. Push into the magnet while shooting him in-between and rinse n repeat.

Ray Splasher is his weakness and if used to put the final hit on him in the first fight he will be destroyed instead of fleeing BUT for the sake of this achievement you CAN'T use any special weapons.

I selected the 3rd stage on the top, and found Byte not far in to the stage. The encounter may not show up but it will be there eventually. You can get this on Rookie Hunter so you don't really need a strategy, just shoot him until he dies.

(Missable)

This is best done by not unlocking any of the Ride Armors until AFTER Bit and Byte are both defeated. After defeating your first two Mavericks, Bit and Byte will show up in the sub boss rooms in each stage.

Keep playing the game until you encounter Byte on the 7th Maverick stage. Make sure all your sub tanks are charged, if you have them. Also, use Zero to reach the room where Bit will be to avoid taking any damage and fight him with X fresh.

When you reach him, beat him with just the X-Buster. Try to have charged sub tanks ready, as he can be difficult. He likes to punch you around like a rag doll, knocking you across the room multiple times. He’ll throw some kind of gravity anchor at a wall making it very hard to dash jump.

With the Foot Parts, you can air jump straight up and he will pass under you as he dashes from side to side. If you lock your timing in, he will loop into this pattern of throwing and anchor/you shoot, you air jump just prior to his dash and he passes under you, repeat.

This password will take you right to him, with several power ups as well.

However, due to the difficulty you can use the Password Generator to set up your own ideal set of circumstances prior to fighting Byte.
