HD Remaster - X VS ZERO DECISIVE BATTLE 2

[@ultimatemaverickx]

Update (Dec 25, 2023): I made a remaster of Zero vs Omega Decisive Battle as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4XZiGuLltqFf5Y --------------------- Update (May 26, 2022): First week of the video. Glad you enjoy it. Thanks for the many views in first week! However, it's not a new animation so I don't expect a LOT more of views actually. Also, this is just for people who wanted a remaster, the original animation got millions already. :) I rarely make videos now, I'm very busy and mostly prefer drawing. Perhaps some time again. I don't prioritize these stuffs anymore so don't expect much. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Btw, Maverick Hunter X/Day of Sigma is a reboot not part of the original X timeline but despite that I want it included on this fan re-imagining. The use of Unlimited X potential (shining hands) to Awakened Zero would be a unique and fun idea. It can make the animation distinctive. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's nice that even though I included X6 weapons/armors on an X5 battle people are pretty cool about it. :) Anyway this is just a fan re-imagining of X vs Zero. I was thinking of replacing the X6 weapons/armors into X1-X5 weapons but looking back at the comments, the 2010 animation became nostalgic! If I do that, the changes would be a lot, it could mess with nostalgia. I better keep it that way. However, I may still do an alternate version without the X6 stuffs.

[@whoami_sean]

You're back!!!😍 Any new games coming soon?

[@EA-bv8zk]

Good to see you again on KZbin this video is greatly appreciated

[@zettovii1367]

It certainly would be awesome to see a new version with the X1-X3 stuff! Eitherway, it's pretty sweet to see a remastered version of the old one, looking a whole more smooth and polished. ..Doe, if there is one little complaint, it's that the grunting sounds are kinda distracting, but other than that it's pretty good.

[@breninho353]

I didn't even notice lol

[@twaggytheatricks4960]

Oh, the X6 stuff was always cool; do keep it around! We'll just assume this is its own timeline; I mean, X isn't supposed to cycle through armors mid-fight, anyway.

[@ultimatemaverickx]

I don't have the original files anymore so I recreated it. Hope you will enjoy this! :D They let me draw official X1 and MM2+3 arts for vinyl again. :) It's out of stock already but keep an eye just in case.

[@karlhnedkovsky5214]

@@wonderland9601 It is canon! If you've seen the short movie "The day of Sigma" included in the PSP Remake of Megaman X1, where at the end Sigma slices Zero and incapacitates him, then proceeding to launch missiles at Abel City, X takes this form out of sheer fury at what Sigma has done, and beats the absolute crap out of him!

"I don't have the original files anymore so I recreated it."- JUST RECREATED IT!? Your work is already amazing but that you've become so comfortable that you can speak so lightly of the work it had to have taken is just incredible! The original has always been one of my favorite tributes of all times and you made it so much better and that's not even taking into account that you just REDID the whole thing. I guess what I'm getting at is that your work is amazing.

[@OccuredJakub12]

I love your old animations to death. The dynamic high-speed action, the musical timing, the integration of story elements and flashbacks and character dialogues... it really enhances a simple sprite battle into a dramatic finale worthy of the best anime!

[@OccuredJakub12]

And now having watched it all, I am stunned that you haven't lost your edge! There are a lot of little differences that really enhance this remastered version. X and Zero's grunts at first felt a little bit distracting, but X's screams really enhanced the power behind his Ultimate Armor attacks! And him using a Giga Attack instead of the punch to the face like in the original, while not as... punchy, it makes the action and his change in strategy clearer. And a lot of the flashing images during the finale and the subtle differences in expressions and acting sell X's missed finishing shot as him being unable to bring himself to "pull the trigger". The effects are crisper (I'll still have nostalgia for the old, simpler ones) and the action is heightened and given more detail! Sir, you have exceeded yourself, truly!

[@somepenguin508]

I just love how you can see the most replayed moments now and everyone agrees 5:44 is just perfection.

[@Amirifiz]

I love the update to this part of the animation. It's so much cleaner now and the way X moves is great. This is still my absolute favorite fan related Mega Man thing ever.

[@silverrath]

It really is. Both the music and the fight climax, with the rapidly flashing imagery in the background adding to the emotional stakes. It's great.

[@ADoodGuy]

2:20 Zero shoots three shots, rather than two. 3:28 Zero's Kuuenzan splits X's shot into two, rather than four. 3:54 The blasts during the Ride Armor segment were redone, going from translucent blue rays to bright masses of energy. 4:00 The screen no longer lights up as X charges his Giga Attack, and the blasts now have yellow cores in addition to the other visual changes. (Thanks, Thunder Knight) 4:55 The fire wave in Burn Dinorex's stage is shown being blocked by the terrain. 5:16 Ultimate Armor X enters with a Nova Strike, rather than punching Zero in the face. 5:28 A barrier forms whenever X's Nova Strike is blocked by Awakened Zero. 5:45 Unlimited Potential X's Buster Shots are blue from the start, instead of being green at first then turning blue near the end. 6:00 Zero appears to use Shin Messenkou here, when in the original, the attack seemed to be Rekkoha. It may have been intended to be Shin Messenkou from the start. Those were all of the major differences I could see, ignoring the HD graphics, new audio, and voice clips.

[@Franky_Sthein]

I must say the rework for the Ride Armor segment was needed, the old one is still good in my opinion but the remade version looks more like an attack from the games. Has a better feel to me, altough I still prefer the original but thats just me.

[@thefollower2933]

Surprised you didn't mention that X now screams while he attacks zero as he is in his "limitless potential" state.

[@Yokai_Yuri]

X is stronger than Zero. He was made to have unlimited potential, grow as the fight goes.

[@SeanTheShinigami]

​​@@Yokai_YuriZero is also built to be able to adapt, he just doesn't need any major improvements because of innate perfection. Hence why his tools apply as side effects to his abilities (Z-Saber elements) and not dominant body piece upgrades like X. But canonically, yes, Zero acknowledges that X can be stronger, it's just his emotions that hinder him.

Makes it even more of a compilation of all the cool stuff, and it's not hard to imagine a slightly different timeline when things happened like this.

[@KinAnimationsFTW]

Wait a minute... after multiple re-watches of this thing I finally noticed something. 5:51 You added Green Biker Dude to the flashback images, that wasn't in the original, oh my god. You got me with that one, you sly fox.

It does fit X's character. He cherishes life, so even someone like Green Biker Dude, who he probably doesn't even know his actual name, would matter to him as a friend.

When I first found this animation in its original form… I remember being in the thick of college, long after playing so many Mega Man, X, and Zero games, and joining the long wait for X9 to happen… and I loved it so much that I’ve rewatched many times and for many years on top of that too!

As a huge fan of the original, this is an _amazing_ recreation and it's clear how much better your skillset is these days. Incredible work!

[@nickkiller-0710]

Man, it's so sick that sprite based animations are coming back as of late, I remember checking KZbin and NewGrounds all the time for this, Super Mario Bros Z and Sonic Final Fantasy, it was so freaking cool to watch your favorite characters crossover and duke it out, heh, back when everyone used to go by their OCs lol, people would even make their own sprites and stuff I really miss how shamelessly creative the internet used to be in the 2000's, kids had that weird mix of liking somewhat family friendly Videogame/Anime characters while being super edgy about it

[@Spiritofpower24]

Unironically, not joking in the slightest, you could probably teach an entire class on how this animation is such a damn perfect fight scene. How it starts off slow, restrained, but then begins ratcheting up the intensity and dynamism of the fight (starts very gamelike, both characters are on a 2D plane and jumping around and shooting, then all of a sudden boom! The floor is getting banged up, and then blam! We're doing stuff in 3D space now! And so on), how it keeps varying up the tactics used by the characters and changing the arena, how it inserts little character moments to remind us of who these people are and what their relationship is, and then, as we approach the end of the fight, things start becoming less dynamic and more restrained, selling to us that these characters are starting to run out of steam, and yet ratcheting up the intensity because we can tell it's going to end soon, followed by a final push as both characters throw everything they have left at each other, X even using his bare hands, and then the missed killshot from X, followed by the final shot, ending the fight in a draw. Absolutely masterful work, on every level.

[@brenoerre]

[@howdypartner8326]

I didn't expect a big ol' slap of nostalgia and happiness this morning. Thanks, man. (Also the X6 stuff honestly looks and feels super cool. Definitely enhances the overall quality.)

[@JonathanHollandHolland]

I just want to say ultimatemaverickx, I think that you did an absolutely phenomenal job in choreographing this fight to the death between X and Zero. Using all of X's secret unlockable armors and adapted weapons and all of Zero's acquired techniques to show just how nearly evenly matched they were as they counter and exchange blows back and forth was so awesome and thrilling to watch. I love that last little detail that you added to the end of the fight where X, having tapped into his hidden true potential as Zero becomes infected by his own virus, grabs and has a moment to fatally shoot Zero but, due to the memories that they have shared together and because of the strength of their past friendship, shoots away from Zero at the last second which allows Zero the chance to cut off one of X's hands before X in turn shoots Zero back non - fatally, before both shoot the other simultaneously, finishing each other off. Basically, I love how you implied that X, despite how difficult it would be for him to do, would eventually win the fight but would ultimately be completely hampered from finishing Zero off because of his hesitation to kill anyone, especially his dearest friend and ally. Job very well done ultimatemaverickx in portraying a completely realistic fight to the way that an actual battle would go down between these two amazing and iconic video game characters. By the way, Mega Man X 4 is one of my all time favorite video games, despite the god-awful English dub. lol At least Lucas Gilbertson, the guy who officially has most recently voiced Zero in the latest Mega Man X video games, has an unofficial redub of the entire death of Iris cutscene, the cutscene between Zero and Colonel, and the fight between Zero and Sigma and they totally redeem these scenes in terms of acting quality and should have been the official English dub in the first place.

Amigo... está increíble, de verdad, ¡Increibleeeee! El remasterizado fue hecho con mucho cuidado, le pusiste mucho cariño y pasión al trabajo que hiciste, este remasterizado está muy por encima en calidad que el anterior.

I remember coming here, 10 years ago and watching it for the first time. I've always loved the series, so I was always thirst for content... I used to come back here each year and rewatch this, and now, seeing this remake... I can't put into words exactly how I feel, I can just thank you, UMX. You're as great as always. I love this community!

This video never gets old, on the contrary, it got even better! You translated one of the best battles in game history in this awesome video!

メチャクチャ綺麗になってるだと！？ 最高の戦闘シーンをありがとう！！

[@spiderphoenix8270]

That was amazing work. You've captured the intensity of the fight really well

[@ragnar5515]

Es increíble como se puede mejorar algo que ya es perfecto, aún recuerdo cuando la ví de niño siendo lo más épico que vi y revivir ese sentimiento es indescriptible, ¡Sigue así!

[@teser0ne8]

This is one of the best animations I've ever seen, it's incredible to see that even with all the time that had happen the creator still works on this amazing stuff.

[@NatterexMC]

All these years rewatching the original was worth it, I almost shed a tear watching this version because of how perfect it is...Thanks for letting me relive my childhood once more

[@ny_knight_]

This is one of the best videos that has ever been posted on youtube. Thank you for making this and sharing it with the public.

[@jamesblack893]

Oh man why did I wait this long to rewatch this masterpiece? 100/10 Viewing the part with the ride armor battle was still as mind blowing as it was back then. Thanks for the awesome work!

[@mill4318]

LET'S GOOO! This video meant so much to me as a MMX fan, so seeing this masterpiece get remade brings me to a level of happiness I haven't felt in so long as a fanboy lol. Great job man!

[@ZephHaathun]

It's so smooth now! The change from the run up and punch in the face for the transition to Awakened Zero to a Giga Attack was unexpected but the Giga Attack Barrage you modified made that scene clearer as well. The addition of the shields popping up during attacks that were meant to look ineffective also helped in that regard too. Congrats on being chosen to make the art for the vinyls! Your art for the Ace Attorney anniversary was great as well!

Literal one of the first 10 videos I watched on my grandma's Toshiba laptop. It was an experience like no other. I played it on repeat for months. Thank you for bringing back a part of me

[@Cloud3214]

[@native1102]

Esto es hermoso... se nota el increíble progreso en la animación y mejora de tantos años. Revivir esta pelea es bellísimo. Hermoso vídeo!

[@daveshadows5896]

Eu lembro que assistia isso quando tinha uns 14 anos, hoje eu tenho 21, E hoje é muito bom poder ver isso em HD. obrigado

[@genioburro591]

Pqp mano q nostalgia do krl, quando eu era mais novo eu ficava pensando se um dia ele iria refazer algo parecido, ainda não me caiu a ficha

[@thassioleite1079]

A expressão "old but gold" nunca fez tanto sentido!

[@lunardreams4440]

I can't believe I stumbled across this absolute legend right before I went to bed, I watched the original just the night before and was shaking with pure hype. This is actually making me cry a little from how epic the remaster is, I feel energized to the core and I can't stop watching this! Definitely showing my friends this! Keep up the awesome work and stay well! That goes for you too comment section :)

[@Canal_do_Lontra]

Man i am shocked with this animation :O this fight is much better than several fights and movies together, i would like a lot to see this fight in an anime, the moves of them and the creativity of the actions in the fight are very very creative, truly you made it be epic, really i enjoyed a lot seeing this video, and again, this is much better than several movies and anime fights, even being in pixel (i love pixel :D), thanks for doing this masterpiece :D

[@phuthanh1432]

Thank you for making my childhood extremely great

[@PercelRoseXD]

Hace años vi la original. Te hacía sentir lo que la pelea contra zero significaba para uno cómo jugador. Y verlo ahora, con tanto cariño al detalle. Lloro.

[@Fusiongxd]

This made the original, infinitely better. You're truly amazing, and I appreciate you for this masterpiece you have brought upon us.

[@Salvo_Z_Mix]

This is definitely going down in the history books. Amazing.

[@gigaz701n]
