I'm assuming he intentionally skipped health boosts because that momentarily pauses the game?

Yeah, if you watch any Mega Man run you'll see that, unless someone is playing safe or is going to damage boost somewhere. X is an irritating MM to run, because a few of the bosses have random patterns involving invincibility frames, where they can not be hit. The earlier games don't really have that issue, since their patterns are simpler and/or can be manipulated.

Damage boosting is the term for intentionally getting hit to get through obstacles while you have invincibility frames, or taking a hit to clear a gap you couldn't otherwise clear.
