The Basics on Alia - Mega Man X

Alia is everyone's crush and she's cute!

I prefer marino..alia is more like a friend

[@nwcr_]

Gotta love that one of the few prominent female characters in the X series has the most stereotypical hobbies of looking pretty and buying clothes lol (She still a cool character though)

[@BlossomPathOnStage15]

They wear clothes? I mean as in different clothing?

[@nwcr_]

@@BlossomPathOnStage15 Weirdly yes, it seems to be the case, as you can see Alia dressed in different ways in both XLC and Teppen

[@RockmanHQ]

She wears a lab coat like Gate's in the X6 flashback as well.

[@akiradkcn]

These are pretty normal hobbies lol

[@BlossomPathOnStage15]

@@nwcr_ Ngl I always thought Reploids clothing (X Era Reploid at least) are all factory made or something since most they all have huge arms and legs (I can't imagine them put on any clothes because of this, maybe change their layer of skins or something), and most of them seems to ever only wear armor.

[@marcusaaronliaogo9158]

She is the reploid of all time

[@eramferguson1701]

Don't forget, there are some fans that ship her with X.

[@kidprime6863]

Sometimes, I ship him with Nana from Command Mission

[@popculturefanxxi4391]

Guilty I ship her with X too

[@CipherRage0909]

I believe Alia and X do have feelings for each other which explains Alia's new look in X8. She's trying to impress X by letting her hair down and purposely remodeling her body to look more feminine and attractive. Unfortunately, they don't have time for each other because they are always in the middle of a war.

[@galten7361]

@eramferguson1701 She has to get in line after Merti, Berkana, and Zero.

[@raptor79]

It’s also implied that they are together in x7 cause before you unlock x he’s always by her side and in x6 she was watching him sleep.

[@jive238]

Ah yes, my occasional reminder that the "Roll" of the X series canonically murders at least 2 dudes. She's literally the only "Roll" with a body count, I think she's the first one playable in their mainline game too as X8 came out before MM powered up.

[@galten7361]

@jive238 It's frankly iffy from how the games never actually did anything with Alia being an icewoman for how it's impact her relationship with the other hunters. Namely X.

[@lynk172]

Ok, NGL...the assasin render of Alia at 0:22 is pretty cool Edit: With that, I would've loved to see a ninja themed event or a collab with Strider

[@RockmanHQ]

Man, that'd of been cool. I was always hoping for a Sengoku Basara one.

[@ColeFam]

I never would have considered that unused Iris -another- design being Alia stealing from Signas. I love that so much. Excellent work on this one! To he honest, I haaaaated Alia when I first encountered her in X5. I just wanted to play the game! I really came around to her with X8 and then looking back to the other games, she's a great addition to the cast. Again, excellent work! Hoping for Layer soon! 👀

[@RockmanHQ]

X6 was my turn around for her. After realizing she had such a rich backstory I really came to appricate her.

[@ColeFam]

I started liking her more in X6 just because she was optional, haha.

[@eslm-studios2996]

The thought of Alia becoming Maverick Hunter Commander.

[@michaelhill1256]

That’s a possibility.

[@kidprime6863]

Why not? She's done everything else.

[@eslm-studios2996]

@@kidprime6863 Didn't say it wasn't a possibility. But it would be interesting to see. Better than the alternative of Colonel Redips.

[@lionelnextelstudios0.282]

That's what I'm saying

[@KenNakajima07]

I love Alia, she´s the cutest but also hot!! she is the X era Roll with a ton of improvements!

[@Peteman]

To be fair to Lifesaver, he did fuck up pretty badly in X5. disobeying orders and going behind Commander Signas' back to tell X about Zero, which led to their two most powerful assets nearly killing each other. I would not be surprised if he was dishonourably discharged.

[@terrashine1353]

Wish there would be a dive armor for her on the online version

[@striderhiryu2]

Too much speculation but She is probably the most popular female Alive character of the series and the Best Navigator for X.

[@Chrisezo]

It would be interesting if Alia did have some involvement of the development of the Mother Elf, and that she and Ciel's ancestor were colleagues or something, or if they wanted to create ties between Alia and Ciel even further, they could say that Alia's creator was Ciel's ancestor and that she had been created to assist in lab research, and that the ancestor was someone like Dr. Light in the sense that she believed in families and stuff even between robots, which is why that person made Alia blonde because maybe their lineage is full of blonde people, and they wanted to make Alia feel like one of them, but due to Sigma's rebellion and the lack of available people to provide support at Maverick Hunters HQ since many revolted with Sigma, that Alia decided to volunteer herself as navigator, as she believed she could offer more help that way, kind of similar to how Rock started out as a Lab assistant but volunteered to become a fighting robot to be more helpful, and if they wanted to make things tragic they could make it so that the Reploids that rebelled with Sigma, killed or wounded Alia's family which would have given her more motives to be part of the fight against the mavericks.

[@kidprime6863]

Seriously, why do they make almost all of the girl characters of this franchise this hot, beautiful, cute or sexy? Is there some kind of rule? Edit: Not that there's anything wrong with it.

[@jamcalx]

Because why not? It's fun!

[@kidprime6863]

[@GaidenDS10]

Alia is pretty much the adult Roll in some ways out. in her 1st debut I always mistook her as a male character idk why.

[@TheSqueakerNerd]

Thank you thank you for da nice deep dive info. I definitely didn't know everything mentioned here. Awesome stuff. Enjoyed the video & have a nice day everyone.

[@megatroidvania9285]

BRO! Straight up, you and others had to remind me who Lifesaver was! I was like "who's that? is that a battle network character or something?"

[@ChiefMedicPururu]

I really like her. I even like her in X5.

[@Hack_Man_VII]

I actually wouldn't have minded an alternate history where Zero remained unplayable after X5, Axl never existed and Alia became unlockable in all the games from 6-8.

[@metallicsnake.]

@lionelnextelstudios0.282 they probably have some war stories to tell

[@eramferguson1701]

This put Alia on par with Dr. Light

[@agentotter]

Getting to play has her in X8 was pretty rad

[@Hell_Soll]

huh, I actally never knew that she "retired" reploids of her own in her past with Gate, a fatale cutie for sure!

[@RockmanHQ]

The X6 results screens have some interesting info in them. A few are rather tragic.

[@Hell_Soll]

@@RockmanHQ I'll take extra attention to this the next time I play X6... the fixed romhack version that is! I hope the dialog isn't different there ^^;

[@galten7361]

@Hell_Soll The games never actually did anything with it beyond putting in more background to Gate being how he is. X doesn't even say anything and he's certainly characterized as someone who would object to murder orders.

[@SILENTANIMELOVER]

Excellent job on Alia! I had no idea whatsoever she was this awesome! And after seeing her concept design, she'd be the perfect commander for the Maverick Hunters.

[@DragoonMS]

• So Alia would've arrived either in the interim between X1 & X2? Interesting. It makes sense; you could say that during Xtreme 1 (occurs between X2&X3), she could've been getting her assassin training. And despite Xtreme 2 (occurs between X3 & X4) being Iris's first canonical appearance, she could've met Iris either during or just before the Erasure Incident of Xtreme 2. • Assassin Alia would've been badass. Gray Shadow Armor and a variant for her X8 design. Though unlike X's version, Alia's weapon of choice instead of a sword would likely be something akin to kunai. Likely for ease of concealment...though she could probably have an entire "some assembly required" sniper rifle kit stashed away on her, and nobody would ever know it. Speaking of which... • ...what in Volt Kraken's naughty tentacles prompted the redesign of Alia from her X5-X7 look to her suddenly way sexier and more feminine look of X8!? (Don't even start me on her myriad of out-of-uniform looks in X DiVE...cuz that's actually crazier when you consider that Layer is supposed to be the blatant eye candy and Alia just straight up *DECIMATES HER* in the looks department...) • Alia developed the Mother Elf!? Where can I learn more? This is a theory that I've never heard of before. • Given that X8 Alia's fighting style is identical to X (minus her assassin skills), and she even has a couple Irregular Weapons in DiVE...could it be possible that MAYBE she was able to somewhat analyze, understand, and even partially replicate both the X-Buster & Copy Weapon System for herself? She certainly would've had plenty of time to study X and implement it...🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@RockmanHQ]

Well, according to the novel she joined before or at the start of X1. The novel isn't a 1:1 to the games, so it could be different, but thus far nothing disproves it.

[@aliastheabnormal]

People believe that Lifesaver was fired from his post if not flat out retired after the Eurasia incident. As he disobeyed Signas direct orders. Almost got X killed. And got Zero killed for a bit.

[@RockmanHQ]

Lifesaver is one of many, so it could be they discontineued the line. I just wish we would have seen him more, even if he kinda steps on Alia's toes in terms of purpose.

[@aliastheabnormal]

@@RockmanHQ From what i understand there was one specific Lifesaver that reported to Signas. And i think he was the one who cot scrapped.

[@TheFirehands150]

If only Lifesaver knew Zero hid himself to repair himself

anyone who knows rust is a force to be reckoned with that includes alia, shes a force because she kills you with her yapping skills

[@travisscottbatman297]

in X5 she’s a yappatron 5000 istg

[@Rokku-D]

People give Alia so much fleck, and understandably so in X5, haha. But I came around to Alia when X6 showed her backstory. This video here proves my point that she's an awesome addition to the X Series! (and, I think she's cute.)

[@shanewright344]

I think Alia may have had a crush on Gate when they were working together. I think she respected Gate, and looked up to him. Whether or not Gate was aware of this is speculative, but my take is that he probably used her infatuation to his own advantage, and lead her along so he could have her as an assistant, and use her skills to help advance his own work.

[@mikethepokemaster2012]

how many here ship her with x?

[@marcosgalvis3498]

8:43 I really wish they could have let use the appropiate weapons that the characters uses in their games.

[@KesorodaBlk]

That's the one thing that sucked big time about X DiVE. Even Fortnite bundles the characters with their weapons, etc.

[@DeltaEagle7700]

Signis is the Colonel’s brother.

[@jruler93]

I like Alia's character in general, her backstory in X6 is rather interesting, and I really like her X8 design where she lets her hair down. The only thing I don't like is her constant mid-stage interruptions in X5. Thank god they let you choose to answer her calls in X6-X8.
