Mega Man ZX Advent Tunes OST - T29: Soul Ablaze (Vs. Albert; Final Battle - Phase 1!)

[@MechanicalRabbits]

It's so sad that Capcom and Inti Creates don't get along anymore. Inti Creates' Megaman games were the best Megaman games

[@BioMega96]

They don't? Where did you hear that?

[@MechanicalRabbits]

@@BioMega96 I don't know anymore since the story I heard a year ago has apparently been refuted, but it was rumored that some clashes between them during Megaman 10's development had made Capcom cease their collaborations with IC. Wether true or not, the Zero/ZX collections had no mention of Inti Creates anywhere in the packaging or menus, which felt definitely odd since they developed every single one of those titles. The soundtrack albums Capcom released were also new ones instead of reissues of the ones Inti had released back in the day, ignoring all those arrangement albums that are still nowhere to be seen on streaming platforms (outside of unofficial youtube uploads).

[@marcusbullock630]

Apparently it was actually inafune's fault. Capcom hated him because he kept interfering and messing things up so they finally had enough and basically drew magic marker dicks all over megaman for a while and he was like f you guys and left then he went and scammed you all with No. 9 lmfao

[@toxicelec5960]

Mighty No. 9 was literally made to be a middle finger to Capcom

I wish megaman zx advent had model O. Imagine facing this bastard in his dragon form with the God Of Destruction himself? fucking badass

[@kaydakitty3566]

Maybe since we got model O in ZX we could have gotten model CX ( Copy X) that would be a better version of the x form like how model O was a better version of the ZX form

[@barrybend7189]

@Vanderace i found Model a a better alternative for the Hedgeshock transformation as you could wallclimb with Model a.

[@thefollower2933]

That would've been amazing, but isn't ouroboros technically also a Model O? I mean, I know that model O isn't canon and ouroboros is, but I'm fairly sure that it would've been kinda confusing if it actually was in the game. Although it would've been awesome.

[@superoakwood5513]

@@thefollower2933 Ouroboros is all of the existing model W's (who are all remnants of the space station Ragnarok)fused together to make the Ultimate biometal or something (i Don't fully remember the details of all this mumbo jumbo mess of Biometals)

[@a_worldly_man]

@@superoakwood5513 I will always find it kinda funny how Ouroboros is basically just a floating mess of scrap metal from the remains of Ragnarok. Like Albert really just took the remains of a doomsday weapon... and used it to make another doomsday weapon.

Model W(esker)

[@Masterge77]

Well in all fairness, Capcom DID make both Mega Man ZX _and_ Resident Evil, so the fact that both have an Albert and an Ouroboros (as well as Model/Project W) could either be an intentional reference or coincidence. Likely unintentional since Master Albert was named after Albert Wily, and Model W is called Model V in Japan.

[@thefollower2933]

I don't care what anyone says, I love this game. And this is certainly on the best final boss themes in the series, it also helps that we're fighting an interesting character instead of a recurring villain.

[@The_Natalist]

Honestly after playing it and seeing negative reviews, i literally cant think of a single reason why you wouldnt like this game? That the protagonist isnt X or Zero?

[@paradox2210]

@@The_NatalistFor me, ZX Advent was almost a direct upgrade to the first ZX. The stages are fair but challenging, the music is really memorable, the bosses are generally good (I’m a big fan of the Vulturon, Prometheus and Pandora and Albert battles especially), the game is graphically impressive for the Nintendo DS and the mechanics are generally improved. The only part I don’t like about ZX Advent is how it has the cliffhanger in the secret ending and yet we didn’t get ZX 3 and I also generally dislike the purple cat double-bosses.

[@The_Natalist]

@@paradox2210 the double cat boss kicked my butt ngl. I thought it was a good challenge, despite ZXA being my... gosh, 11th megaman game?

[@drakoblast11]

This tune would fit any RPG boss battle theme.

[@codediax]

This is one of THE MOST EPIC rockman tracks I have ever heard!!!!! Adrenaline at Maximum!

[@aquafax2337]

I find this to be very interesting. I like both Soul Ablaze and Divine Hammer, but a lot of people seem to think that Soul Ablaze would've made a better final boss theme. I can see why many would believe that, but when analyzing these songs I think people aren't coming at this with the wrong perspective. Albert himself was suppose to be very different from other villans in the series, and his themes were suppose to highlight this. He is a somewhat departure from the typical final boss that is big and maniacal. Sigma, Copy X, Elpizo, Dr.Weil, Serpent, all had these big, hulking final forms to demostrate just how deranged they had become at the end of their games. Not to mention that a lot of Megaman villans have a god complex in which they want to play god and rule over everyone, even Omega calls himself the Messiah and god of destruction. Although these villains have this complex, none of them ever truly reach that true god status and most of the time end up looking like monsters. As such their final boss themes reflect their bombastic formes. Albert is very different in this regard. 1. While Albert is insane, he does still keep a calm controlled composure. He spent nearly 200 years putting his plan together and the only bug in his plan is a defective recreation of himself. 2. Unlike other Megaman villans, he actually becomes what can be considered god of the Megaman world (Mega Men are already at the Apex of evolution and Albert is the supreme Mega Man). Albert is not suppose to be just another insane scientist who wants power, he is the culmination and amalgamation of every villan in the series, yes even Dr. Wily. Albert played everything as a game to fuel his plan, and reached that godlike status so many others tried to achieve. Yes he was still taken down, but only by either a copy of himself or a descendant. That's why Albert's final theme is so mellow compared to Soul Ablaze and other final boss themes, because unlike other final bosses (save for Omega I guess), Albert was the only villan to keep his calm composure to the very end and stay himself. He stayed controlled in his insanity, and achieved what no other villan in the series could. Divine Hammer reflects this calm, controlled, insanity. Sorry about this extremely long comment.

[@blazingsonic]

+Richard Nalls Give that guy a Biometal!

[@aquafax2337]

blazingsonic I humbly accept; I'd like to thank the academy and my family.

[@blazingsonic]

lol

[@aquafax2337]

The Setup Wizard Okay, how about reserved rather than mellow? Either way, it is less over-the-top than the typical final-boss theme in this franchise. I, personally, enjoy ZX and ZX Advent's soundtracks far more than any other game in the franchise, but I guess it's just too "beepy" for most people (whatever that means).

[@aquafax2337]

ThelegendaryTom Not a bad idea....

[@GoldenJoe]

Epic, and actually challenging. The dragon throne was great, and an interesting reversal of the "normal->big" transformation sequence you get in post-classic series bosses. Not being able to see the life bar just made it that much better.

[@lawxz23]

[@hunterac45]

One of the best final boss themes in a series packed with great ones

[@edward18517]

This version is the version that comes on the official CD soundtrack you can buy of the game.

[@kidwuulf5692]

Just the start of this track is pure power! that game is so great but sadly it didn't get the attention it deserves

[@handsondoradoralveal5519]

con este tema me ago la media rutina de ejercicios pura inspiración la música de Megaman😎 💪🦾

[@kevvbr.]

Isso é música de megaman? Nossa senhora! Coisa maravilhosa 💗

[@EL4701.]

For me, this was easily one of the most difficult Mega Man finales, simply becuase of the boss's sheer durability. There is a pattern that beats it every time with Model A, but some guy at inti gave this thing *600* health, and as a result it can be easy to slip up, ESPECIALLY when the heads come off and the pattern becomes significantly more RNG. After you destroy the dragon it does become a lot easier with the Homing Shot, but he still has many attacks which are hard to dodge. About the strategy: There are 2 red circles on the floor in front of the dragon. Position your character so that their left foot is over the dot that is closest to the boss and shoot from there. Use a charge shot and 2 regular pellets when the central head attacks, and when the dragon breathes fire dash away and get back in position as soon as possible. The electric beam can always be dodged with a simple jump as long as you are in position. When the Black Hole comes out, dash away from it once, jump the first 3 bullets and dash under the last one. If you dash, simply holding left will make it so you simply dodge every bullet.

[@OGatoCanicais]

Save and load... This is the real power of the Ultimate Megaman !!!

[@Frygoon]

I thought Omega Zero was the most predictable out of all of them (Except for maybe Vent/Aile in ZXA) You can bait his Tenshouzan Rising Slash whatchamacallit shoryuken swing like nobody's business.

[@omegazeeeez]

You called me?

[@GreatFox42]

This is among my favorite final boss themes (Yeah I know Divine Hammer is the "true" final boss theme but come on, this plays close enough to count and IMO is in every way superior (and I actually _like_ Divine Hammer, I just don't think it even compares to this one)) of all time.

[@kapsaicin2786]

I- I can't be the only one who can hear X3's guitars in the background R-Right?

[@aconsentil2054]

Not quite, but I can see where you're coming from. There's some similarities in the structure, probably meant to signify this being-in essence-"the" final fight. All the strife and turmoil of every Mega Man game; of every Mega Man there ever was; compiled into this one all-powerful theme as you challenge the one who achieved godhood, reaching the apex of human and reploid evolution-the winner of the Game of Destiny. The Ultimate Mega Man. and yes, before you can tell me so, I know I read into things too much

[@paradox2210]

⁠​⁠@@aconsentil2054I wouldn’t even say you’re off the mark - the theme was probably composed with those ideas you mentioned in mind. Soul Ablaze really does feel like the 'apex' of the final boss themes of previous titles, and nothing has really surpassed it since.

[@joaquinumpierrez9940]

In my fanfiction... this fight will be in Cyberspace, and the power levels will be insane, Solar system or Universal level Albert in my story is Dr Willy incarnated in a new body His final form is Albert using an armor that resembles Bass

[@Megaman_Zero]

So easy patterns ... still a good Boss battle, really satisfied with the end

[@mikoswhackgameandstuffvids480]

If you think about it.... This is the final "chapter" in the X series and here is why... One big word Maverick War. X-ZXA have been the story of the birth of the Maverick War X1 and the continuation of it X2-ZX. In ZXA its the final battle of the war. Because Capcom didn't give us a ZXA2. So in a way or fact ZXA is the last chapter that ties with the X series. Or rather the last chapter of the X series.

[@PokemonHayley]

Favourite theme out of the whole game.

[@Frygoon]

@knowwhoiamyet A ton of blasting does not equal challenge. Just go Hu/Re or Model P/F and spam both attack buttons. Albert actually had some decent attacks in the second part.

Damnit, I just wanna play ZXA so bad... like seriously, I am begging my parents to buy it (and since its so hard to buy anything at my country and since I opt for emulation because of that, you can tell that I REALLY want it), but its so hard to get them convinced... what should I do?

[@DixieChix]

Also, for those people saying that this sounds like Pokemon, I think this sounds more like a Sonic final boss than Pokemon. Why? Pokemon wasnt exactly all about rock, more techno/synth and orchestra than anything (WAY more orchestra, though), and while this could fit with the B/W/B2/W2 soundfont pretty nicely, it would probably fit way more as a Sonic final boss, since Sonic`s music motif is more of a rock-like theme, and since Pokemon final bosses have more orchestra than rock, Divine Hammer would probably fit way better (especially for someone like Cyrus, Ghetsis or Lysandre). Plus, I can see both themes fitting Solaris and Dark Gaia quite nicely, too (probably way more than a lot of Pokemon final bosses) so, yeah.

[@DixieChix]

***** Well, I had quite a lot of allowance money, but I blew it all away on buying PSMD (which in here costed over 200 bucks), so it might take me a while before I can get enough allowance money for that. And well, I was thinking of selling my Nintendo Wii and my smartphone (both of which I rarely use), but they are more for buying a PS3 and a more advanced smartphone for Pokemon GO, respectively. But I might have to sell something else, though... maybe sell that PSMD copy I got? I mean, I have already finished it (a pretty damn amazing game, btw), so I dont think I`ll need it anymore... right? XD

[@Dundereshock]

[@noelle1940]
