Mega Man X5 [100% Run] - Cutscene: The Shuttle Fails; Zero Becomes A Maverick

[@Mateoski97]

X5 is definitely the scariest game in the series. Not because it has any sort of horror elements to it, but because the tone, setting, and story are so dark, especially if the shuttle fails, but at the same time, X5 is the most uplifting game in the series, especially if the cannon succeeds. Not to mention how worried Alia is for the player, pleading with you not to continue if both the cannon and shuttle fail when she normally is very composed and calm.

[@RageUnchained]

although in all my years I have never seen the cannon succeed

[@FirearmofMutiny]

Even scarier, the colony dropping and wiping out most of the earth is canon for X6 @LemonGrab: I've done it before, but RNJesus is a fickle creature

*No upgrades for the shuttle* Zero: I'm going for it! Alia: DON'T! *Zero manages to succeed* Zero: Told ya I would make it back. ;) Alia: B-B-But... T-There were no upgrades for the shuttle... Zero: SCREW THE RULES, I HAVE BLONDE HAIR.

Well so does Alia. .... Why the fuck didn't we send her up there then?

[@zwataketa]

Try no upgrades for the Enigma. First playthrough, First try. Succeeded. Managed to beat Shadow Devil with Zero before I fought any mavericks.

[@hessiankyojin]

Getting no parts should have been a guaranteed failure while getting all parts is a guaranteed success. Why would they RNG the endings at the cost of Zero?

X-men 97 episode 10, Reference to This Cutscene, appears when the Magneto Protocol, which fires missiles on Asteroid M fail, and even from Bonus the Debris of asteroid M Falls to the earth.

[@leejieun91]

If you play X5 by Zero and Shuttle Fail so you only use X no armor, no Heart Tank to Complete game.

[@marcoscabezolajr.8408]

You can still get the ultimate armor

[@bvellemac4931]

I use ultimate armor x in start game very easy

[@ThrillerXero]

I think it’s our time to summon Goku to deal with this

[@ShadowRockZX]

If you didn't upgrade the shuttle (by defeating the 4 Mavericks on the right side), there's a much higher chance of failing. However, I've succeeded before without any upgrades. The Shuttle has a much higher chance of being successful than the Enigma did.

[@johnsantos507]

Easy for you to say. That game has a random cutscenes. I try to collect 4 upgrade for the Shuttle and the Enigma Cannon. But, it fails. What the hell is wrong with those guys who make Megaman X5!?

[@gerrymetaru8157]

Apparently my enigma mission suceed tho....correct me if i'm wrong but the more you have live before you shot the enigma/shuttle the more succeed it become (around 8-9 lives)

[@shawncabagnot7245]

John Santos I just said to myself fuck it and fired the cannon. It worked.

[@bachilles3285]

Again, maybe there was a hardware limitation that prevented Capcom from putting these incentives in the game, so they put a random number generator in to make up for it.

[@KoruKinshi]

You mean Zero becomes purified...

[@Dthlnrd98]

I remember I was playing x collection 2 and even though I defeated all the mavericks I failed the shuttle and the worst thing is that I had Black Zero

[@agent3801]

Worst fact: If you begin the game with Zero after the input, then either botch both missions or let time run out, not only you lose Zero, you'll also lose the Black Armor as well. In addition, any heart containers Zero has will also be gone, too.

[@destruction999]

Douglas: i'm ... All right... Too Dignas: where's x and Zero? Douglas: :(

[@DevinPlayzYT2007]

*Signas

[@ShadowRockZX]

Precisely. One of the cool things about X5.

[@jamimuhammad3699]

X it’s time to kill zero :(

[@azizkalb8721]

Ah l mean sigma who kills him

[@manniefresh2022]

Man I had black zero, built him up, got him all the heart tanks and I did everything right up till this exact cutscene. I was so fucking pissed I had to play as x the rest of the way

[@FusionMusic]

I'm playing game now this just happened to me, I main as Black Zero got all Enigma parts, fails, got all shuttle parts, shuttle fails. Now I'm stuck with super under powered Mega Man....... is that it? There's no way to get Zero back?

[@manniefresh2022]

Andre Su my g no there is not. Only chance you had was turning the game off during the cut scene to trigger the random outcome again

[@FusionMusic]

@@manniefresh2022 Ah shit..... and I saved over my file too, this is the worst..... I might restart the game entirely as X in Ultimate Armor and come back to this later. So annoyed....... but thanks for the clarification dude!

[@FusionMusic]

@Starscream91 lol I know eh, I'll remember next time ~

[@hessiankyojin]

The opposite can happen too when you are ready to sacrifice Zero and you plan on getting the bad ending as you plan to play X as full and the Shuttle succeeds with beating none of the bosses. RNG fcks us up.

[@Jackattack359]

Omega has been awakened

[@victuz]

This isn't Omega. It's Zero himself but infected by the Sigma Virus.

[@chaliceohearts4658]

No it’s not Zero infected by the virus. This is Zero as how he was originally built. Dr. Wily created the original maverick virus, then it got transferred to Sigma becoming the Sigma virus. This is just the Sigma virus (now the Zero virus) cleaning out Zero’s body and restoring his original programming. Kill X.

[@Malice900]

​@victuz Actually it is Omega

[@yee6870]

Weird, some of the dialogue in this scenario applies more properly to the scenario that the colony crashes when you let the time run out, after Eurasia crashes. It might be an error or something.

[@papawedge7396]

It's the same, the only difference is that here the colony crashes in 5 pieces instead of 1.

[@cheeszy4696]

this place is Area Zero

[@leejieun91]

I can get Shuttle Fail after kill 8 bosses by X

[@medanixrd]

The preparation song before the launch, you don't know what will happen. The total silence, no songs... The realization of the failure of the mission. The desperation and loss of hope of the aftermatch The rude Awaekning of the "Destroyer of Reploids" And at last... the omnious song... that song... this Megaman has it all when it came to the bad ending.

[@UchihaFabio]

WARE WA MESSIAH NARI!

[@psyk2642]

I've heard if you let Zero be infected completely (as in becoming invincible) 13 times before destroying the colony, the shuttle will never succeed. Is this true?

[@nickname9351]

I don't think so, but it think it lowers the succed rate

[@vgc_ivan8391]

No but gives you higher rate or failure. Even at caution rate lowers once you get the virus cutscene.

[@hessiankyojin]

Pure BS. That’s something you hear from playground rumors.

[@antoniusstanley1366]

It's easy tho just play terribly and you will get this

[@Jackattack359]

@@antoniusstanley1366 yeah, I know. My original comment hasn’t aged very well. I got it a few times but always reset the game each time I did. The only time I recall playing through to the end with this outcome was because the legacy collection had an achievement for getting all the endings

[@bubblegumxo]

I didn't even know it could actually fail. I must have had GREAT RNG, because I remember starting a new game as a kid and instantly doing it and there was no difference. So I thought it was such a stupid concept if there is no difference between having the parts or not. Good to know that there actually is a pretty big chance of failing.

[@hessexm8065]

That also a curse but like you said a reason to play the stages and fun fact: the enigma can actually work you just need LEGENDARY rng

[@broden4838]

20% of Eurasia can cause a lot of damage and to corrupt Zero...?

[@hessexm8065]

Actually it’s 46%

[@broden4838]

@@hessexm8065 Reason I said 20% is that the cannon destroys 62% of it

[@carlton_dynamo]

The fact that the outcome of the Enigma Cannon and Shuttle is random makes the story interesting, yet unfair as to not know until you find out that Zero goes maverick. How do you even get the good ending? I'm trying to unlock all Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 Medals.

[@InfernalBanana]

You just have to be lucky and have either the cannon or the shuttle succeed.

[@youraveragebeepbooper]

Idk why, but I cannot get this to happen fsr Shuttle succeeded on my first and second playthroughs (Zero, then X) Then I intentionally tried to get it to fail twice (let the viruses hit Zero and everything), and yet, it succeeded *both* times Starting to think the game knows Zero's my fav char (Which would make sense since i started with him)

[@antoniusstanley1366]

Just don't play any of those 8 stages and just shoot the enigma and launch the rocket .... You will get this for sure... If not then you are too lucky

[@jamimuhammad3699]

Sorry x but zero is dead MWHAHHAHAHAHA- Hello x now I’m a maverick(zero)

[@CyberWarezz05]

Wait...so you don't really need to defeat the 8 mavericks to get the good ending of the game?My whole life was a lie...

[@somefries3101]

on reality you need to defeat all the mavericks to destroy the colony. he only used the rocket without the mavericks defeated. then how is that you get the bad ending

[@CyberWarezz05]

Somebody said that it is pure luck if you get the bad or the good ending

[@somefries3101]

or it's sure if you time runs out and you use the rocket you will fail and zero will become a maverick.

[@radomiami]

If the Enigma/Shuttle succeeds, then you can go along to get the good ending. In addition, if the Enigma succeeds, you can skip the Mavericks that have the shuttle parts.

Marshmard Games Yep, even fully upgraded, there’s a small chance the shuttle will fail, in contrast to how there’s a small chance the Enigma will succeed. It’s pretty sucky if you were playing as Zero the whole game and now have to play with X and no upgrades or parts.
