What's your thoughts on the Megaman Zero seris /v/?

Could´ve been great games but they are limited by their paltform and inconpetent gooks

Z2 > Z4 > Z1 > Z3

X should have been playable like zero was shoehorned in the x series. Also the screen size was fucking TINY to move around in

Fuck inafune

Z4 was a mistake

>>381709823
Why

>>381708657

Series? It's the best Megaman series ever created, cause all the games in it are good. Wait, maybe Legends is the best megaman series since they stopped at 2 and were both great.

Second Best Megaman series.

Legends > Zero > X > Original

X had a lot of shit games but original had 7 bad games in it.

Stupid anime garbage.

Fun games and I don't mind the zero redesign because of the goo rape doujin.

>>381708657
These games are harder than I remember (and they were pretty damn hard to begin with), or maybe it's just Z3. I'm playing through it again now and I died at least 20 times on the first stage after the intro. Still got an A rank though. Probably my favorite series of platformers.

>>381708657
Diaper?

>>381711701
Megaman X4 at its absolute value is a shitty cutscene side scroller with Megaman elements

ZX and ZX Advent are great also. Transforming was cool.

Good series. Then again when it's only four games. it's kinda hard to fuck up.

but x6 was better than x5 and had the best ost after X

>>381711438
Z3 is the easiest one, it's probably the easiest megaman

i remember playing them quite a bit but i started with zero 2, should i bother with zero 1?

>X6 was better than X5
I'm honestly not particularly fond of either game and the only things I can think of that we're straight up improvements from X5 was not having to be forced to read alias calls and the part system, X6 has some neat ideas I'll admit but the execution was bad and worse than X5 lowest points in some cases, I guess that's what happens to a rushed as fuck game that only wasn't disaster because of reused assets and is it just me or does X5 and X6 have the most inconsistent as fuck presentation? I mean my god. I'll agree with you on the. OST though.

>>381708657
I'm a turbo casual who thinks the games are hard as shit. I was really confused when I failed a stage and got dumped back expecting to be able to replay it but the game carried on anyway . What was that about? I don't get it.

I played 1 and loved it. I had issues comprehending how 2 worked on a gameplay level. It seemed like no matter what I did it wasn't good enough and I ended up on some airship shit and the game just basically became impossible because I was shit.

I wanted 3 and 4 real bad but I could never find copies. I went and played 1 and tried to play 2 again in the DS collection recently but I couldn't get through 2 again and I got bored trying to git gud.

I think that the first game is the only one that does that, and it's only with certain level.

They aren't difficult games in general, they're just more complicated to master than your average Megaman/GBA games.

no?
x4 is the best one?

x5 is complete garbage in every way. I'm offended it's that high. The very fact you have the gay ass Rocket Booster Feet that you float around with is offensive. Then the bosses leveling up, mainly increasing their HP making them an annoying chore to fight. The boss AI/patterns are awful in general actually. Plus the CANNON sequence is awful
there's actually too much to discuss. the entire game is retarded. Oh yea, SIGMA is a fucking 3d rendered background element.

3>4>2>1

I don't remember if they were easy or hard. I finished all of them. The first two were kind of incomplete and elpizo was irrelevant. 3 was epic as fuck and 4 had the best music. Maybe i should replay them with my 27yo googles.

>>381716072

X4 is bad though.

The gameplay is bad, the cutscenes are constantly ridiculed, and two (TWO WHOLE CHARACTERS) are in the one game and the one game only. MMX5 introduced a whole series of characters that are kept on-board for the next three games.

MMX5 has actual Megaman elements, the combat is easy to understand and fluid with changes in the formula. The goals are realistic and you can alter the way you asses your problems instead of relying on the original formula from the early Megaman games. There's power ups and several different kinds of armor you can use on top of two playable characters and the difficulty for each of them is so reasonable that the game literally rewards you for being good at the game.

yes because the angel wings and his design reflect that he believes himself to be a messiah, which is ironic and fitting. They also help the player mentally distinguish Copy X from the real X because the true X was never that egotistical.

>>381714842
that's only in the first Zero game. You are allowed to fail missions and still carry on all the way to the first final stage, it will hinder you since you will be missing stuff you would have gotten from those missions, but personally I really like that the game goes one after you fail, and that there are some consequences to failure.

>>381718650
The backstory on the biometals is silly. W was 'born' after centuries of Weil's self-healing system going. The Guardians found it, then Serpent stole model W, then Ciel used model W to create the other 5 metals to make heroes to fight Serpent.

Seems like something's wrong with that series of events.

>>381719446

Personally, the Megaman Zero series is my least favorite Megaman series. Imagine if Nintendo made a Mario game where you don't play as Mario. Oh wait.

Can normal (and i mean completely normal, not the reploidXhuman hybrids from ZX) humans use biometals?

>>381721989
Zero died at least twice. Once in X1 and again in Zero 4.
You could argue more although those are never explicitly shown.
Like him showing up again in X6 despite being a torso with a hole blown through it in the ending of X5.
He shouldn't have survived that, so maybe he got ressurected, or maybe he just hid himself while he repaired himself.
I don't know if that would really count.

>>381726710
Given that there's a certain degree of compatibility involved I don't know if you could count people using biometals as "normal" even if they didn't have reploid traits.
I'm going to guess no on that.

>>381708657

Fucking fantastic.

The whole Megaman series was in a golden era in the GBA with both Zero and Battle Network.

Shame capcom just gave up after the DS's series didn't work out. Megaman used to be known as fuck, now's just a thing of the past

>>381726837
This specific denial of all reasonable reading requires X, under no duress and in no danger, left Zero for dead without bothering to check his operational status.

The last four robot master stages are fucking abysmal. Snowboarding stage? Elevator stage? Book hunting? You've got to be shitting me.

Some of the E reader cards that affect gameplay make the game 2ez because of how powerful they are.
Getting +2 damage on the Z saber just blends everything for free and there's another card that makes everything do half damage to zero.

I would highly recommend playing without those unless you've already done everything else the game has to offer.

MMZ needed to get rid of the level up system
MMZ4 needed to get rid of that stupid arm weapon

MMZ series also needed a mode where you could play through all the missions without needing to talk to people all the time, that's one of the biggest problems the series has, in MMX you just get a little dialog and then jump into the levels.

There's a reason I fucking hated XZ series, too much stupid sidequests and talking

Gotta say I can't get into the Zero version of Omega in concept.

Omega already evoked X and Zero in his sword and cannon mode, I liked his half duster half knight armor aesthetic too.

Final boss is your evil self works in low stakes. Gotta say Weil was built up as a first-time type of villain in Mega Man. One that actually tried global genocide of everything and got close to it.

Zero being the core of Omega means he did the same thing; made himself a copy of a hero twice. Worse Zero 3 and Zero 4 fail to do anything with Zero's amnesia identity crisis. It's everyone around Zero that has opinions to offer about destroying his original body.

I'm a sucker for swinging from a chain even though it was less of a weapon and more of a tool unless you charged it.

>>381731490
Triple > Chain > Recoil = Finger

>>381731967
The axe weapon is basically a charged saber attack. Which makes up for not having one on hard mode. It's admittedly shit for anything else, but they give you one on Sol Titanion's stage and on ragnarok.

It's a nice concept but once I saw it killed your speed if you tried to swing from the ceiling ruined it for me. Worse whip in all of vidya.

After watching the TAS of Z4 I have new respect for the Z fist.
I still prefer the other weapons, but it was definitely functional.

Id like to see more of a sutaintable argument built against MMX4. You come off as a favoritist.

Good tough fights though.

>>381716816
X5 suffers from that retarded upgrade reward system that basically encourages you to an hero up until you get the doomsday counter low enough.

Good:
Best storyline in Megaman
Second best gameplay in Megaman (second to the original X trilogy)
Best character design in Megaman
Some of the coolest boss battles in Megaman history

Bad:
Lamest weapon system in megaman (turning the sword a different color and calling it an elemental power was just a huge fucking step down from having a multitude of different weapons gained from each boss at your disposal)
Mediocre music by Megaman standards with the exception of a few memorable tunes
Lazy-ish spritework (if you really pay attention you can see that a lot of "animations" are just static poses with the limbs shifted up and down to seem like movement)

Overall it's one of my favorite game series despite the flaws; I'd give it a 9/10

>>381732450
Kinda takes the piss out of that capstone that he resolves exactly the same mindset that lead Zero to killing Iris, and in a wider sense caused the Repliforce war.

BattleNetwork might be but network transmission was a filler episode.
Zero.exe has no relevance whatsoever to the rest of the series and it's a damn shame since he's so cool.
It really grinds my gears that he didn't make an appearance in 5. Especially since colonel of all people is in it.

At least he was in the anime for a little bit.

>>381731636
That was 3 that reused 3 bosses from 1. You're remembering wrong

>>381733918
Stopped playing battle network after... three I think? What is the story here? I knew they added a virus of Zero and Megamanexe was working for Colonel or something, but who is the chick? She the Iris analog or something?

Also MMZ 1-4 were all god tier and ZX was painful to see a series crash that hard.

>>381734360
No, 2 reused 3 of the 4 guardian bosses from 1. Then you fight them again in the Neo Arcadia levels and they get vehicle upgrades.

>>381734273
It reused 4 bosses for intermission stages and still added as many brand new ones as any other titles did. Nothing wrong with bringing back content to extend the game if it doesn't detract from new work.

>Shoehorned
Since the beginning Zero was meant to be the main character, since X2 they foreshadowed Zero's connection to Wily, X4 expanded on this plot point, and X5 was meant to cap off what they were setting up with him and X.

Just because you aren't a fan of the fact he became more important doesn't mean it came out of nowhere, and was built up over the series.

>>381708657
I didn't like the scoring system and that they got rid of the metroidvania style. I didn't like having to use the faeries to get upgrades.

>>381734369
First of all Zero is introduced in Network Transmission which takes place between Battle Network 1 and 2. Zero is a virus with a netnavi like personality that slowly caused Navis to slow down and eventually freeze completely. If you got some hidden shit you could somehow turn him into an actual navi instead of killing him and then he'd fuck off to be happy and never appear again in the series.

Colonel was introduced in Battle Network 5 and in 6 it's revealed that his user was Wily's adoptive son who was originally given a OP Navi before Wily one day became disillusioned and decided to take it away and break it in 2 separate navis (Colonel and Iris).

anyone who rates 1 above the other games in any order needs to replay the games. it was cool, it was a great first entry but all of the boss patterns are overly simple and tame, the music is lackluster and the stages were more of a hassle with their set up and design. every game after had far superior boss fights which alone sets them above 1.

X6 was more or less the aftermath of X5, but Capcom as a whole clearly didn't know what the fuck to do with the series after the PS1 era.

The PS2 era games just randomly focused on this new character faggot and his whole being a new type of reploid shit.

>>381729949
Heat Genblem and Fenri Lunaedge were the best, with Pegasolta Eclair and Tech Kraken close behind.

>>381734645
His lack of a normal face was meant to show that he wasn't really a Navi but a virus.

>>381734925
X8 is at least good though.

>>381735019
Too bad it's still stuck in the retarded part of the story that doesn't connect to anything.

>>381735019
gotta agree there. Axl also went from being this unwanted third wheel to "actual member of the team who is under the senior robots wing".

>>381734925
Outside of X7 Axl was a pretty good character.
It just took them a while to make him work.

>>381735075
X7 and up must be a different timeline than the Zero Series. The plot literally makes no sense otherwise especially when command mission gets involved.

>>381735019
It had 2 ride bike focused levels, one with that shitty spike block puzzle, and an auto scroller.

X8 is better then the game before it, but its full of gimmicks, like they weren't sure a full on platformer would sell well or something.

Its good, but not as good as the good games in the series that came before it.

>>381734548
I can't say I personally give a damn Zero turned playable but this shit is wrong.

That first part is only true in the mind of Keiji Inafune. He freely admitted he never tried to submit his working outline as X because he feared rejection.

X and Zero both consistently had references to their design mysteries and origins. But the fault here is X's just get dropped and Zero's gets cyclically revisited. That's horrible for any kind of serial storytelling.

I think we can agree that most, if not all of the boss designs for the zero series were top notch. Fenri Lunaedge was such an edgy name but still pretty cool.

>>381735259
yes, at least good as the person said. it has its flaws but the characters control nicely, the characters themselves aren't annoying like in x7 and many of the stages have good design.

>>381735075
>>381735143
>>381735162
My favorite part of the plot of the PS2 games is that X7 ends with Axl not knowing what he is or who made him, but he knows he's a new generation reploid in X8.

I think we missed a game in between Capcom.

I gotta ask what the hell y'all are talking about.

X6-8 might not be the best games, and excusing X6 happening wasn't done well. But at least the stories in them at least maintain a plot thread and show advancement on it. Gate/Sigma/Redips all want to harness Reploid DNA's power.

I have no clue how X1-4 justify their premises either. Sigma should've done what happened in X5 from the get-go if his X4 backstory was true, and his continuity from X3 at least should be impossible.

if you go back and play them you may notice that they are super inconsistent about world building while making that series while some times its there and other times it just expects you to know things about the universe. it also hurts it as far as hardcore fans are concerned that unlike the classic series that had TONS of supplemental material to tell you things about the world X had very little

X6 confirmed that the GBC games are canon, in the second one the bad guys of it had the ability to steal reploid souls, I head canon that they were able to also bring Sigma back after X3, since as it takes place before X4.

That and of the original 5 X games, X3 was pretty much a filler game plot wise.

>>381735740

X4 setup more of Zero's connection to Wily, the repliforce is referenced by The Skyver since he's the last surviving member, and in Zero's ending in X5 Iris is like the last thing Zero sees while he's dying.

On X's side of X4 at the very least, his ending was setting up for the original thing they were planning with the Zero series of X going maverick, seeing as he asks Zero to take him down if it ever happens.

Xtreme 2 is outright referenced in X6, also giving Iris another game to have a role in before her death.

It's my favorite, I even bought the official complete works when it was only 30 dollars.
I lucked out
Wish I did the same for Battle Network. Not both these official and concept art books cost over 300 dollars

that shit looks tight, like all of his designs
Toru Nakayama's art defined Megaman Zero. The bosses have so much detail put into them. And it blew my mind when an anon pointed out that almost all the bosses, excluding the guardians and special characters, had a second face incorporated in them

>>381745036
Luckily there's scans now

>>381745278
>almost all the bosses had a second face incorporated in them
WHAT. I gotta check this shit right now

>>381744862
Honestly withers alright, just depends on the head canon I have for the characters. Young bass would be yandere for a normal mega man, while mega man would be a tsundere for bass, depending on whose designated the faggot.

>>381745278
What's this about second faces now?

>>381745351
So apparently almost all have kind of another set of eyes in their neck area or something if that's what you meant.

Zero traded in stupid green light-up nipples for a white metal diaper. Someone needs to set him aside to have an intervention regarding his fashon sense.

>tfw if you listen to all the supplementary material, Elpizo is the most fleshed out villain in the series and actually kind of tragic but fags just meme on him because his design is androgynous

Meant to say how every boss has a second set of eyes, usually right under their head. It always gave me the impression of a second face if you see their chest piece as another part of it. But they're just a second pair of eyes, probably there for back up or just extra sensors.

>>381745527
He was a total manchild in the games so that's all people got out of him.
Sure there's deeper lore, but that doesn't change that he was a faggot in Z2.

>>381744534
e d g e

>>381745527
Supplementary material also makes the entire world into idiots who choose to make a man guilty of genocide immortal, and throw away their only space ship while taking no effort to ensure it actually does what they're aiming it to.

Also they have no one better qualified than civil engineers to run their armed forces.

>be me elpizo
>i am a faggot
not much else needs to be said

>>381745831
So what's with Mega Man that every time someone sends something to space it blows up or gets fucked beyond repair?

>>381745278
I was more confused at the fact that the bosses apparently had human forms...

>>381745036
>>381745290
yeah, just go to the mega man general and it's right there in the op

>>381745948
in 3, you fight judges that have regular forms and execution forms

>>381745937
omega went up to space and came back just fine

>>381745937
Because it's involved in a Mega Man plot.

When was the time a game introduced a new element and DIDN'T corrupt it?

>>381746096
But his prison spaceship crashed and failed to do exactly what it was meant to do. Like every other Mega Man space station.

>>381745937
I'unno MM3 MMII, MMIV and MMV had everything go fine for Mega Man.

>>381746180
I imagine it crashed because no one was in control of it... but it coming back to Earth should probably be someone's fault.

>>381746180
they brought him back because weil told x he dindu nuffin and x forgot to tell harpuia

Why is the MMZ plot so retarded despite being the most fleshed out in the franchise?

Z4 has an amazing final boss and ending. I'd rate it over Z1 which had some annoying features.

>>381741628

8 roll's dress is highly erotic

>>381746546
4 and 1 are the worst. 1 was okay but the series went downhill after 2 and kept getting worse right up until the end of ZXA.

>>381737014
Such as?

>>381746536
>Guys I'll make a copy of X, no one will even notice the difference
>Ciel are you sure about this, I know X is kinda tied up with the Dark Elf but surely we can handle it for a while once the people calm down
>It'll be fine, trust me
>KILL ALL REPLOIDS, RACE WAR NOW, THOSE FILTHY MAVERICKS ARE HOGGING ALL THE ENERGY

>>381736626
Holy fuck I am amazed how wrong you are. If this ain't shitposting I don't know what is. Explain how X6 could possibly be worse than X7. I will fucking wait.

>>381747483
X7 went and actually put effort into making something new out of a stale series. X6 is just an unplayable mess of X5 assets.

>>381711197
>Legends > Zero > X > Original

Look man I love the Legends series for their charm but the gameplay like milk and would never fly in this day and age.
>>381746536
It follows the Squaresoft design philosophy of having a shit story seem much more important by being told through 48 hours of unskippable cutscenes.

Fuck I love this armor's aesthetics. If only it didn't have garbage range and a super shitty giga attack.
