Probably because X1 was the first X game on SNES and X4 was the first new one for PS1/Saturn. That horrible X3 port on Saturn doesn't count.

Are X & x4 the 2 easiest ones? Those happen to be the 2 I gravitate to when I need a Mega Man X fix. Never knew why I prefer those 2 in particular when I could play any of them (up to 6 I think).
never seen the saturn port of x3 in action. what was wrong with it?.
The saturn port has large borders on the sides and thin ones on the top and bottom. I don't think there's anything else "wrong" with it aside from that. I couldn't stand it though and got rid of my copy for the playstation version which is borderless.

One on one I'd pick Virtua Fighter 5 Final Mix. It's the only fighter that I generally consider myself "good" at.
Weird, I wonder why. Normally I see that for performance reasons, but only in early 3D titles like the Doom ports.
Yeah I'm not sure. Super Ghouls N' Ghosts on Saturn Capcom Generation 2 have the same borders. Playstation version doesn't.
Kinda weird the Sega Saturn can't do 256x224, lowest it will go is 320 x 224 which is why you see those borders. I think Symphony of the night does the opposite where it just stretches it to 320 x 224.
Did some Googling for kicks. Apparently it's just down to shitty porting. The port still uses the SNES display code, and since the Saturn doesn't have a display mode that can draw lower than 320x240 and the original game was at 256x224, Capcom just chucked borders on it and called it a day. They likely did the same with the Super Ghouls N' Ghosts port.
I never liked the X3 PS1/Saturn port other than the cutscenes and ending J-pop song. The sound effects are pretty bad and the remixes are mostly hit or miss (not like the og SNES was much better as it can get pretty repetitive) but I still like.
