Megaman X 4 - Repliod Sigma Vs. Maverick Zero [PS1 & SS ENG]

In a flashback sequence, Sigma, the most powerful reploid ever created, takes matters into his own hands as he orders his men to stand down, and confronts a dangerous unknown maverick alone. Clearly having the upper hand, Sigma's favor tips to the maverick's relentless persistence and ruthless sadistic nature. Who is this 'Red Maverick', where did he come from, and how is he so powerful?

[@Ivan.79]

I really feel sorry for Sigma, he was never a bad guy, he turned into a villain in the games because the virus corrupted him, it wasn´t his fault

[@MatthewTheWolf2029]

True. It wasn't his fault.

[@tracyndiyob162]

it's a pretty tragic fate for him,especially in maverick hunter x where he wants reploids potential to be like the freedom x has(always headcanoned with how the series all but states dr. wily's spirit lived on in the virus like dr. light with the capsules at least in x5 that he controlled sigma's actions when they went to destroying both humans and reploids corrupting & degrading his body in the process.) only to be taken over by the wily virus and become the megaman version of m. bison. if he were to come back in x9 be interesting if they had him reflect on that or still had some of that care for reploid potential.

[@Rediscool9]

@@tracyndiyob162 It’s honestly something I wished the X games delved into when it comes to the tragedy of Sigma’s fall to villainy. Neither X nor even Zero, despite him indirectly being the reason for why Sigma is the way he is now, acknowledge that Sigma had no choice in the matter in becoming a Maverick and that it was the Maverick Virus from Zero that corrupted him and turned him evil.

Branny Cedeño The X series is FAR from being completed. Very little has been answered or clarified and they made even more questions with the whole Lumine thing.

[@Djboyrimo]

If they continue with how the story should’ve ended then Mega man x9 would be at the end of the Maverick Wars where it’s x’s last adventure before the start of the Elf wars. But if they continue with axl and lumines story then they have to alternate the end but still have to relate to the end of the maverick wars.

[@Yokai_Yuri]

Well, Sigma was very powerful at this point and the fact he outmatching Zero for a brief moment and slowly losing ground tells how well designed Sigma was; however, nothing( not even X at that point, was a match to Zero) When Sigma became a Maverick, he could destroy Zero in a 1 v 1 and that is a fact. Zero in MMX was not a match to Vile who was designed to be a warmachine. In Maverick hunter X(PSP) despite being technically non cannon, they still expanded upon the fact Zero cant 1 v 1 Vile or he gets destroyed. From X5 onwards, Sigma has been destroyed with team effort.

[@trcsonic]

It's sad because Sigma wasn't a bad guy until Zero fucked him up with the Wily Virus.

[@Justiceprayedfor]

I don't think going Maverick is necessarily catching a virus, but a robot being deprogrammed (or reprogrammed) to override human command and disregard their life.

[@JPhillyyyyy]

Reny Bryant The "Sigma Virus" is shown doing exactly that throughout the games. Sigma originally contracted it from Zero in this fight, and then inadvertently spread it around. Zero was Wily's greatest creation, and the virus was part of his final insurance policy if Zero didn't destroy Dr. Light, Mega Man, and/or the world.

[@HypnoSwag]

Yep. The moment Sigma broke that gem on Zero's helmet, he was infected. Then he started spreading it like herpes.

[@PetarBladeStrok]

We can sum up that the entire MegaMan X franchise exists because of Dr. Wily...

[@anekisamurai6492]

To anyone who isn't aware enough about the story,this moment is almost certain to be the exact moment in which Sigma got infected by the Willy Virus and turned evil afterwards. Zero was Willy's last trump card and had the virus in him,so he probably infected Sigma during this fight.

[@UltraGalaxyify]

It was right when Sigma punched Zero's head jewel that the virus transferred from Zero to Sigma.

i never realized it before because i was so much younger when i played this, but it's really tragic what happened to sigma. he didnt want to risk anyone else's life, so he took on a maverick explicitly capable of wiping out an organized unit of hunters single handedly. no good deed goes unpunished apparently.

[@SapphireLibra3]

Yeah. It's hard to remember because of how twisted he became later on, but when Sigma was a Maverick Hunter, he was a genuinely good person. Probably a lot like how Zero is now. He became Maverick because of an accident really, but he never wanted that to happen. In my opinion, Sigma's actually the most tragic character in this series.

I know im late but maybe in the future, they can make an x game where zero is the antagonist and sigma takes on the role that zero plays in the original x games. Setting the carrot on the stick to encourage you to play the game, get good and become as powerful as he is. I wonder what would have happened if zero stayed a maverick and sigma stayed a genuinely good person and maverick hunter.

[@jordangalle1751]

I love how beautifully this sets up the entire story. Zero, Dr. Wily's last and greatest creation, turned into a Reploid with a savior complex. Sigma, once a proud Commander who risked his life for his own, became the catalyst for the Maverick wars.

[@commetsftw]

And not to mention, he ended up destroying his inner evil with INNER EVIL. Which is quite poetic because Zero was in a way a reflection of who Wily was in his youth.

[@TheTrueBro]

Savior complex? The dude was too logical and efficient to think about stuff like being some kind of messiah. He acted and did the right things but he was kind of... cold, in a way (totally the opposite of X). Actually that's another point of MMX4: to show you how a person that has his life ruled by pure logic and efficiency... shatters after seeing that not all things in the world can be solved with just mere fighting (AKA the really emotional trauma he suffered after killing Iris, someone he actually loved but, once again, his logical POV didn't let him realize that until it was too late).

Then, while I was winding up for a major sword strike, he punched off my arm." "H-how is that even possible?" Sigma: "YOU THINK I CARE HOW IT'S POSSIBLE?! HE PUNCHED. MY FREAKING. ARM. OFF. Now I gave him a solid F-you to the head, so he's out cold. You go in there and you INCINERATE that body, are we clear?" "Sir, shouldn't we bring him back to the lab for----" Sigma: "DUDE I DON'T WANT THAT LOONEY TOONS IN MY HOUSE. You nuke that son of a bitch, I don't care WHAT you do!

X would've fucked Zero, eventually. There is no way DR.Light wouldn't forseee the situation and leave something for X. After all, no matter how strong Zero is with the virus, X was designed to have limitless growth potential and this is in terms of power.

[@123hyouretsuzan5]

@@Yokai_Yuri actually in megamanX5, they fought each other and both knocked down. It seems like Zero beats X first, but before laying down X used Soul body to make a draw (in X4 only X can use soul body, so it's him who used it in this battle). Then Sigma came, one more time Zero was the first one to wake up and protect the other. --> You can see that Zero is a litle bit more stronger but not enough to destroy X. In the game with Genmurei, Zero is invincible with an absolute power. He just need to release all of it. I have figured it out recently that X's unlimited potential is actually player's potential. Yes, it's ours, that's what the game try to tell us all the time.

[@TheBigMansini]

Dug the facial expressions and the brutality of the fight Zero and Sigma have in this clip. This was definitely my favorite scene in the game, due to the fact that it gives the X series a LOT of its backstory, such as before Zero was a good, and Sigma was evil. That Zero was the original carrier of the Maverick Virus before Sigma ended up wreaking havoc on humanity always blew my mind. The X series had so much potential at this point but after X4's greatness, Capcom really copped out =\

After thinking a bit; despite the truckloads of suffering X and Zero had to go through, Sigma himself is a pretty tragic character. He was once a proud hunter and a good man, hailed as a hero before it all came down. He never wanted any of it, but by mere chance in the encounter with Zero, Sigma unwillingly transformed into the greatest evil of his time. It's kind of sick; the maverick virus apparently molded itself into Sigma's own image, forcing his friends to fight the warped memory of his ghost, because just killing him wasn't enough. I really would like to see more of the real Sigma sometime, even if it's just a pipedream. Maybe a one-off alternate universe where Sigma never got infected, and helped X and Zero instead?

at first sigma is stronger because of his advance circuits and systems but as time goes on zero gets more and more relentless and stronger(maverick virus is leaking out of his capsule which is giving him strength and healing his wounds) and when the clash happens sigma loses his arm. after that zero toys with him until I think wily's failsafe goes into effect and stops him from going too berserk which gives sigma enough time to crack his skull but in doing so sigma is already infected with the virus but it takes longer due to his more advance systems

And now, a story-- The Wily Wars had taken their toll. By late 20XX only the original Masters remained and an aging Dr. Thomas Light was finally realizing the dream of his research, the elusive 'X factor' in robot autonomy of will. By this time, the entire first run of Light robots Masters had retired - they had fulfilled their great purpose, brought about a stability in each of their respective fields; Elec Master (they had de-gendered their titles as some had altered their forms over the years) revolutionized solar power containment grids, Guts Master made huge strides in construction so buildings were much stronger than ever before, Cut Master ensured sustainable forest/lumber management so future generations would have both wood and “the woods” and so forth -- The new line of large maintenance robots, the prototype line of mechanaloids, were handling the up-keep and processing of the advancements put in place by the L1 Robot Master line. Meanwhile, Wily's masters, having been defeated by Mega Man time and again -- space guardians and Roboenza not withstanding -- in fact the final line was destroyed by Protoman/Breakman ... but Rock and Roll would never see Blues again. This is when the Evil Doctor Wily created his Zero option, - with his newest discovery; nevermind Bassnium, Wily had created a sentient, self replicating, base-code Virus. The Wily Virus. It would be his master stroke against his, now hated, rival Dr. Light and his front-line enforcer Mega Man. With Wily's own powerful agent as a “patient Zero” of sorts... the Wily Virus would grant his genius immortality by taking control of every last Light produced robot and bending them to his will. However, at Light Labs, the good Dr. Thomas Light had just finished a semi-sentient holographic back-up of himself and was loading several recordings into it intended for later play-back upon activation. Several dozen of these Light capsules had been produced. They all held a share of advanced component materials, including his new 'Titanium-X' alloy, and data of experimental blue-prints. Seemingly the capsules would create the items over time refining to set specifications until deployment. At least that's what Auto figured they were for when Dr. Light explained they were to be loaded aboard the shuttle. Wily's plan was an all-or-nothing final assault - he would sacrifice himself to make it happen. His body anyway. Maintaining control over the creation of something as complex as the Wily Virus required everything he had - but if it worked, Thomas would be defeated forever… the Wily Wars had taken their toll… even on Albert Wily. At this point he hated Thomas and everything that wasn't built by his own twisted genius. This would be it, the end. Albert put his own ego and personality into the code for the virus, transposing them digitally from his own brain synapses. It was the final step. Once 'Patient Zero' was ready - (( He had planned to use Bass' old chassis... (the fate of Bass is a story unto itself, suffice to say he ended his own data-existence, in space, rather than take another order from Wily)... it was technically even stronger, but tests showed that it slowed 'patient Zero' down too much, Light's Titanium-X alloy proved superior in nearly every way, and Wily had stolen enough of it. Rather than a final insult Wily was bemused by the idea that Thomas' newest invention would form the hands that would end him. )) -- Wily recorded his final orders to be played upon activation and closed the capsule. He then set to work uploading the Wily Virus, ending his own physical existence, but gaining a strange immortality as his will for domination became a digital plague. Now we catch up to things we know - Thomas Light didn't survive to see X activated, leaving final notes and warnings programmed about his testing period of no less than 30 years. The X-Buster is, in fact, the Mega Buster Mk 17. Given how many times Mega Man had his upgraded we can assume this is a far flung hyper-advanced prototype given to X. All the same, Thomas Light yearned for a peaceful world with people and robots coexisting, so X is not heavily weaponized from the get-go, he's designed to be upgraded by new technology, some of which Thomas hadn't even built yet. (amazing) Though Wily's work on Zero was similar enough that eventually their tech proves compatible. ((X can upgrade by equipping Zero's 3-stage Blaster Arm.)) Zero attacks the Light Lab. The Robot Masters join the fight and lend their powers to Mega Man so he can go toe-to-toe with this 'new' red foe. The Masters, now nearly obsolete and very out of practice, are no match for the firepower and skill of this tall, quick, and strong newcomer. They fall, and as they do Zero learns something from each of their struggles against him… despite also being almost gleefully insane - the concentrated Wily Virus is doing a number on his programming… he can't copy their powers, but he internalizes their skills, influencing his own abilities, their training was now his. Mega Man was in over his head, but Rush was at his side, an e-tank ready to share and an advanced armor mode ready to activate. Auto loaded the last of the Light Capsules onto the rocket and, as Dr. Light bid him goodbye, he launched into orbit, just as the labs burst into flames below him… Mega Man had learned to combine powers when he held multiple at once. Blazing metal scissors, exploding 'Guts Punches,' Electric Ice . . . and Zero just kept coming... any helper bots or defense systems seemed to seize up when they targeted him and then go haywire, the Wily Virus sending them wild for a moment, self destructing or turning on the Lab and Mega Man. Not wanting to endanger Rush, Mega Man turned off their armor fuse state, but his loyal dog remained to the bitter end. The lab a ruin around them Rush took a blast meant for Mega Man, and when Roll pushed her way out of the wreckage - damaged, furious and terrifying to behold; Mega Man took the shot meant for her . . . The battle went on, Rock and Roll trading feints and blasts and blows with Zero always coming on... Eventually the fight reached Dr. Light -- blocking the secret entrance to 'X''s chamber. . . Injured, but always valiant, Rock and Roll went out together saving Dr. Light from a finishing blow; Protecting their father and self detonating in their attacker's face. Zero, now driven to frustration from the concentrated virus and severely damaged by the twins' joint sacrifice, determined Light's injuries were fatal and so might be his own. So he retreated to his repair capsule back at Wily's hidden lair. Light lived long enough to say his farewells to X, his last child and final testament of his brilliance and caring spirit, before sealing him away. Mega City built Dr. Light's memorial in front of City Hall and let the wind and grass cover the place of his tragic final moments. Auto released the capsules into decaying orbits in sets of 4 and 8 as instructed. He spent a lot of time in space, and upon his return to Earth helped revolutionize the fields of Space Colonization and orbital platforming (X5). Wily's revenge was incomplete. The Virus had to be spread, almost by touch, he had concentrated it so heavily into his Zero option. And with his 'delivery system' retreated back to its stasis capsule, well, there was no way to spread it any further - - for now.

[@guilhermegmoreir]

I've just noticed how they accurately drew Zero into his older model in this scene (i.e round shouders) This kind of blunder is normally common in animes. Also, WTF is up with this comment section full of noobs that don't know shit about the Megaman X timeline??

[@cameronmoore7675]

I appreciated their accuracy in that regard as well. I imagine it helped that his classic design, being slightly less detailed, would be much easier to animate. On the subject of people not knowing shit about the timeline, I haven't noticed _that_ many clueless comments.

[@cameronmoore7675]

The Frost Dragon That doesn't really make sense to me. Zero was dead by the time X fought Sigma, and there's nothing to indicate that X salvaged Sigma's sword before his fortress exploded. Besides that, there's also the major size difference between the swords. I always figured the Z-Saber came with Zero's new body in X2, since they first appeared together. The new body came with upgrades (and booblights), so it makes sense that the sword would be one of those upgrades.

[@lolrus5555]

I really did love that subtle little detail. I just thought it was cool how Zero had his original MMX1 design. Also, if you look at his legs, you'll also see that he has just solid red and white boots, just like in MMX1.

Took me all this time to realise why X didn't have as many cutscenes in this game. X4 was to close the gap between the beginning and end of the X series hence why it showed zero was the original maverick and was the start of Sigma's rebellion.

Since X8 documents the New Generation Reploids as being a new threat to humanity and that Sigma was a pawn of Lunine from the very beginning, I always hoped (and still hope) that Sigma could come back as a good guy for X9. He seems like a pretty cool Maverick Hunter in this cutscene.

[@TheTrueBro]

He won't. He became so corrupted with the W Virus, he isn't sentient anymore.

[@Yabuturtle]

I still wish they finally tied in the Mega Man series with the X series. From what I have heard Zero wasn't supposed to have killed the original cast. But honestly, how can that be possible for him not to kill the cast, yet Bass, Roll, Duo, Proto Man, Rush and Mega Man are nowhere to be seen, despite robots living for eons? What I figure is that Wily released Zero, who Zero kills, probably because of his instability, even if he wasn't intentionally trying to kill Wily. Zero fights and destroys Bass, Proto Man, even Duo and Rush. Mega Man tries to stop Zero, but Zero is too powerful, so Mega Man self destructs to try to stop him, which is just enough to put Zero in a stasis mode, where he is awaken later on by Reploid scientists, and then causes havoc, forcing various units and Sigma himself to confront him Basically Mega Man has to be dead. They have already established that X and Mega Man are two different robots, especially in the OVA, where he is building X from scratch. Even X didn't even know who Light was until Light told him who he was and why he was being created. If Wily or Zero were still a threat, obviously Dr. Light wouldn't have made a robot with AI. Because the whole reason why he had X put to sleep was to do diagnostics and he feared he may have been too dangerous to be released just yet. If Wily or Zero were still around, Light would have made another Mega Man to combat him. But the threat was eliminated. Light seemed to be all alone, too. Don't see Roll, Auto, or other bots. Light saw the threat was eliminated but wanted to finish his magnum opus before he died, seeing how it wasn't long before he died of old age.

[@jeangabriel1759]

Todos os Robôs Mestres e Reploids tem uma vida útil o que significa que todos eles iriam para o ferro velho após um tempo de vida, provavelmente entre a série clássica e descoberta de X eles já estavam "mortos". Isso é uma lei que muitos reploids e Robôs Mestres não podiam viver muito tempo, isso era o motivo de você ter tantos vilões na série Megaman, muitos deles simplesmente não queriam virar sucata. Então o que deve ter acontecido é que Megaman e Roll foram de boa vontade para o ferro velho ondem morreram e se tornaram sucatas Protoman não tinha energia infinita como Megaman e Bass então provavelmente vagou até que foi desligado sem energia. Bass pode ter fugido do ferro e velho, mas sem uma boa manutenção e sempre precisando fugir pois apartir daquele momento ele seria um dos iniciais "Maverick" ele morreu sem manutenção e seus dados foram se corrompendo aos poucos até virar sucata igual o Mega e Proto.

[@gerble36]

The creators themselves said that Zero didn't kill them off. But I don't think Wily or Light are even truly died. Both of them have survived in a form of AI. Wily in a viral form like his virus that can go from host to host, and Light maybe in a computer somewhere. How else do you explain the plethora of capsules X finds along his journey? Can't possibly tell me that people made vast structures and completely missed several large blue capsule sticking out of the ground all over the place... haha. Maybe Mega Man and the gang are still around, but just working in the background as Dr Lights AI's hands and ears. Too antiquated to help in the fight, but perfectly able to help construct X's upgrades and lug the capsules to where X can find them.
