[@u.a.perfectace7786]

This theme has a mix of emotions in it. It fits Zero at this current stage of his life, which has become decidedly more sadder and tragic. His last theme was to invoke feelings of heroism, duty, and sense of urgency trying to stop the Mavericks from attacking the Sky Lagoon. Coming fresh off the Repliforce War and the realization he used to be a Maverick, Zero is a changed person. While still maintaining his focus on his duty as a Maverick Hunter and friendship to X, he now carries regret and brokenness within himself after he was force to retire Iris (and Colonel) in the last game. Its a much more complex theme than it first appears. Like, i feel like as you play Zero in the intro stage, he more contemplative and "in his head" for lack of a better term. This can be seen when Zero discusses the idea that Maverick Hunters and Mavericks are very similar and that they simply all exist (which leads X to ask what is bothering Zero) at the end of the stage. The theme picks up in tempo and intensity on the latter half. I always felt this bit represented Zero's determination to fight on despite losing so much. That at the end of the day, Zero is choosing to fight and not give in to despair. It carries some of sense of heroism from the X4 theme.

[@Vicobop]

I fully see what you mean and have felt similarly about it. It has some somberness, a tragic sense that also says that you need to keep moving and fighting even if it feels like all has changed and for the worse.

[@Eliothzz]

This is he point in the series where the cracks finally begin to show on Zero, dude is just tired of this ongoing Maverick War but keeps carrying on.

[@TheHedgememe]

this thread is why I love Zero

[@mcdonnell-douglasdc-1056]

Incredible introduction to Zero in the Mega Man Zero series.

[@caspramio]

A really good counterpoint of the personified hope that X shows in his intro theme: The programming of Dr Light, the lessons with Dr Cain, then Sigma's betrayal and a reality check that if you want peace you must fight a war if it's necessary. Maybe the damages, death, and devastation may cause doubts about how far he must go, BUT he needs to keep it up and carry on to see the answer to the question, to fight what he believes and to commit to the mission as that is his duty. X is supposed to be the heart as Zero is the reason, but both are conscious that they need what the other have and perhaps that's one of the best perks that build the bond they have. Yes, X got betrayed by Double, had to face Colonel, General, and the Repliforce, and despite the doubts about him being a maverick in the future, until that "inevitability" happens, he will fight for peace and the protection of humans and reploids, with his life if it's necessary.

[@redreploid1713]

I think this theme fits with zero’s character during this time, conflicted after the events of X4, being unable to save those he cared about the most, but still continuing to fight regardless

[@PlacentaBBQ]

i need a new megaman x before i die

[@SlayeCohen]

If it is to Crapcom make a X series like they did with Resident evil, then i rather live with the nostalgia... Donkey kong and Megaman X was the best games i ever played, both for the same reason, best OST ever made in a video game. I became a musician because of them.

[@PlacentaBBQ]

SlayeCohen AGREE!, miss the old castlevanias too...

As much as I want to listen to this theme while playing x5, I'd rather keep x's fourth armor

[@wolfdevv]

I prefer using X without any armor

[@urieldhka]

Starting as Zero and then having X without the Fourth Armor is mercyless. X5 was insanely difficult for starters, but I played and played until I beat it, and now is one of my favourite games ever

[@theraptorcommissar1015]

The Z-Buster isn't even that powerful.

[@TheOmegazerox]

X is good for starters cause he can charge shots and attack at a range. However I find Zero to be better as his saber doesn't need to charge to deel damage to bosses and his agility is better with his double jump. His saber can also be used to destroy shots. He takes more time to get used to but he is deadly once you get used to his rush in deel damage and get out rather then the stand back and fire we have been used to in the first three games. Zero did have his own story mode in x4.

[@josemariatrindadejunior1703]

Start the game with zero is very broken. You lose the fourth armor. And cant get falcon armor with zero, if you cant get falcon you cant get the gaia armor. And if you fail to destroy the colony you LOSE ZERO WITH ALL UPGRADES ONLY REMAINING THE X Fuck

[@gabrielhenry7237]

The theme of a warrior with an unknown past soon to be recovered...

[@elblisky98]

Gamma Sigma, the final boss is actually Gamma From MM3, Shadow Devil is a mix from yellow devil, from MM1 and Wily Machine 6 from MM6. Squid Adler's weapon is excatly elec man's weapon. Grizzly Slash's is pretty similar to sting chameleon's, duff mc whalen's(not charged) is similar to Jet stingray's. Dark dizzy's the same as Flash Man's. (X's weapons) zero virus stage 1 is Quick Man's Stage (MM2), stage 2 is Sigma Fortress 1 from X1.

[@loyalcav1575]

Thats X5 for you references everywhere.

[@millie7645]

In a way the plethora of references to past games makes sense, since this was originally intended to be the final game in the X series that would round out the story - so sort of bringing it all together as a final summation.

Zero was created by Dr. Wily. He went on a rampage, and was later stopped by Sigma. He was rampaging before anyone knew about X if I'm not mistaken. It is safe to say that Zero was found inside of a capsule not too long before his rampage. X was an orignal robot, Discovered by Dr. Cain, his design was used by the good doctor to create the reploids. The reploids are replications, derived from X's schematic buildup. Sigma included. Neither X, nor Zero are reploids!

the term Reploid in the japanese version refers to all sentient robots of the X series with human like capabilities. X and Zero are thus referred to as Reploids.

[@CipherKnighto]

To tell the truth. I never knew this was Zero’s intro stage theme. It should’ve been hinted to me from his victory jingle, but having prior knowledge of this game (at least after my first playthrough in which I chose X anyway) I never chose Zero initially because I never wanted to blow up the Fourth Armor. So I just thought this only played when Zero saved himself and X from being finished off by Sigma after they drew.

[@AceDreArt]

Zero ❤️

[@FieraDevilWings]

@Dannon0 - And a year later and his Rekkoha gets a change and his Level 3 Hyper Combo is now something different, designed to punish other characters for using their own Hypers if you manage to activate it before they hit you (as the slash travels the whole screen it's a guranteed hit and you're invincible when you're using it).

@FieraDevilWings I believe your thinking of Genmurai. Although, in marvel vs. capcom, they renamed it to Genmu Zero. Still effective as hell, even if you don't use it at that time. It's a nice chain from if Dante's Million Dollar's special, or Spiderman's Crawler Assault lands.

[@FieraDevilWings]

@1023Ha - Yup, Genmurei. I believe they changed it to Genmu Zero because from what I can see "rei" means Zero in Japanese (and Twin Dream, or Twin Phantasms, Sougenmu, that should give you a clue as to what Genmu in Genmurei means)

[@bobbyturkalino5094]

Anybody else make the mistake their first play through only playing as zero the entire game, until losing him temporarily in the sigma levels and being forced to continue on as barebones, weak as fuck, armor-less X?

[@buntado6]

I don't recall that losing him "temporarily" was possible, you either lost him permanently (gets corrupted by the colony virus succesfuly reaching Earth and infecting Zero, who sacrifices himself after beating him) or the colony is destroyed and you get to play as him for the virus stages if you wish so.

[@bobbyturkalino5094]

@@buntado6 tbf I probably stand corrected. Mainly cause every time I forgot that only using zero throughout the game prevents you from powering up X. So therefor by the time I got far enough to where zero was unplayable, I never got much further because it was basically impossible to continue with vanilla X.

[@bobbyturkalino5094]

I basically have only gotten the endings where zero at least makes it to sigma. Therefor either beating with X or Zero himself up the that point. I’ve never gotten the ending where zero is unplayable throughout the virus stages

[@abc2390986]

⁠@@bobbyturkalino5094you can still go back to early levels with X and collect parts for Falcon Armor. Which is easily the best armor/character in game when you can fly as X and he can soak huge amounts of damage. Then collect Ultimate armor in Sigma 3 level. The Evil Zero boss fight is also not much different that you can pretty much trade damage and kill him quickly. So yeah this game isn’t unbeatable with regular X.
