Why does everyone like zero better than X?

Why does everyone like zero better than X?
And why didn't Dr. Wiley make armor for Zero?

Because Zero was given preferential treatment by the devs and was more edgy with his backstory about having been built originally to be evil.

Because Doctah Wiwee is a cuck.

>preferential treatment

If he had preferential treatment then he would've gotten armor that wasn't just a paint job.

If I remember right the original MC of the X series was originally more similar to Zero but they decided to make the MC a megaman (since he was more recognizable) and made Zero who was similar personalitywise to the original MC.

yeah, during the design phase, inafune draw what is basically Zero and presented it as the main character, while other person ( hayato kaji) designed X.
probably since he was too different to the original megaman, they went with X instead

>Why does everyone like zero better than X?
pacifist vs edgy who do you think people will choose?
>And why didn't Dr. Wiley make armor for Zero?
probably because he thought it was unnecesary, since it was his best creation.
or maybe because zero was unstable as hell and wily sealed him for fear of fucking up everything, and because of that why make power ups of something that can destroy the world
there's an armor for zero in command mission that looks like bass fused with trebble

Zero has been upgraded at his base more than X has though.

Probably the same reason why people like Bass.EXE and Tron Bonne more than the series' respective Megaman

Protoman will always be cooler than Zero

Because he's the "brooding badass with a mysterious past" cliche. Edgy teenagers love that shit.

This. Proto's cooler than both and Zero's a massive faggot only edgy tweens like.
Hope that faggot's cut more than their wrists.

Truth

Protoman IS Zero though.

>builds ultimate creation to fuck over dr. light
>Zero meets X and ends up becoming a good guy, essentially cucking Wily ideologically

A cuck even after death, that's impressive.

hell nah, not even close.
Protoman had an amazing back story.
Zero's was...alright.
Protoman had a great personality (up until 9 and 10)
Zero's is 2edgy4me

>Dr. Light made X from Megaman
>Dr. Wiley had Protoman in his power but threw him in the trash and started over with Zero
>He still made Zero resemble Protoman in every way

Yeah sure

not enough sunglasses

This will never not be true.

The tide is turning.
I'm seeing more and more people who prefer X over Zero.
Even though I myself prefer X, I still think they're both cool as fuck (I think the Zero series ruined Zero's personality though) I don't see why there has to be a competition.

>And why didn't Dr. Wiley make armor for Zero
Too busy making robot masters. Dr. Light on the other hand put all his eggs in one basket.

>Rockman is turned into X
>Protoman is turned into Zero
>Roll is turned into...

sold off to a nice old middle eastern man.
what happened to Bass/Rush/Treble?

>he didn't play the games

...

The problem was they removed any kind of unique aspect of his personality, what little there was, from the X series. MMZ Zero has the personality of a brick. Not that "edgelord with an attitude" was ever the height of video game storytelling, but it was something at least.

My entire gripe with it is that he really wasn't an edgelord pre-X7. MMZ gave him that edgelord attitude. At least the MHX remake brought his personality back though.

X was kind of a super annoying pacifist pussy, while Zero was a brawler. It's a pretty easy choice. X-fags just call Zero edgy like it's a detraction when X does nothing but cry and get bailed out by Zero time and again.

Zero's entire existence revolved around jobbing for the first 3 games. Nigga gets owned by a mosquito in X3 for fuck's sake. Meanwhile X is out there killing mavericks and saving the world. He didn't get his shit together until X4.

That's not fair, nobody's as cool as Protoman

X Couldn't even make it past Vile.

>WHAT AM I FIGHTAN FORRRRRRRR
>literally every single zero plotline boils down to this
>not edgy

Neither could Zero, seeing as how he had to literally kill himself to blow up his plot device ride armor :^)

>literally only one game is like this.
>Every other fucking game he inevitably has to die to save X from being a retard
>Is really more like a 'big brother' to X than some edge lord.
I like this meme because it reveals all the posers that don't even play the games.

That part always miffed me. He blew an arm off it at the start with a fucking 1/3rd charged shot, but needs to kill himself to destroy it later on?

literally all of the zero series have plot twists making zero reconsider fighting and why exactly he continues to destroy everyone his girlfriend tells him too just because she resembles the chick from the original X series

Oh he's edgy without a doubt my man, I've played every X game. He's not as edgy as Shadow, but a lot of his backstory and some of his dialogue absolutely qualifies.

>X was kind of a super annoying pacifist pussy
Since I was on the topic of X7 fucking with people's personalities, X was never a pacifist until X7. Sure he disliked fighting and preferred to avoid it, but he never refused to fight when it was necessary.

Also, I don't know how he does nothing but cry and get bailed out when he did practically all the work in the first 3 games alone.

>That whistle before Protoman warps in

>IRIISS

>Every other fucking game he inevitably has to die to save X from being a retard
nice meme user

Vile got stronger. If you look close the ride armor even looks slightly different than it did in the 1st level.

>It's another X gets grabbed and is about to be crushed episode
>It's another X doesn't finish the job and has to get saved episode
>it's another X didn't double-tap sigma and is about to get a special beam cannon to the chest episode.

>>It's another X doesn't finish the job and has to get saved episode
Which game are you talking about, X3?
Zero didn't do shit in that game.
And I'm sure that Zero saving X a few times invalidates that X did absolutely everything for the first 3 games and had to collect Zero's parts and save him in the 2nd game.

It's funny how you talk about people making detraction yet you have to cherrypick parts of the story to make it seem like X isn't the one who did most of the work.

Well there was that one time X saved Zero from forever being Sigma's mind controlled puppet so I guess we can call it even

>first of their kind
>act as mentor/rival of the mega counterparts
>become evil for a while but make up for that
>"die" multiple times
>use unique weapon the megas can adquire in one of the games
There are some parallels

Could Ciel be considered a Roll counterpart?

Zero isn't designed for war. He was a regular reploid like the mavericks.

Only X was designed for killing. People like Zero more because his design is much more relatable and endearing.

Alia is Roll's counterpart

>Zero isn't designed for war
I'm sure Dr.Wily just wanted a servant robot like Roll but fucked up somewhere along the line. It would at least explain the boob lights.

>created by dr. "i build robots to fuck shit up and conquer the world"Albert "i'm gonna use an evil force of destruction of another planet to power up my bots, more than once" Wily
>not designed for war

What you just typed would be true if this was Bizarro Mega Man we were discussing

He's not designed for battle!

He uses a proprietary weapon and has an inferior buster! X is the blue bomber, the FIGHTING robot, he was designed to kill the menace. Zero wasn't outfitted nearly as well as X.

guess that explains why weil took X's body and used to create omega
oh wait

That's kind of like saying a 9mm handgun isn't designed for killing people because a Barrett .50 can do the job better

>literally arguing against yourself

>can't detect sarcasm
i pity you

Well X was still using his body, so convenience probably had a lot to do with it

Satire.

You mean satire. Sarcasm is a biting insult.

>muh tumbling .223 is designed to wound!
:^)

>hurr Protoman is Zero
People forgets Bass ending in Power Battle 2.

>namefag can't detect satire of sarcasm

I can't believe we had fore Zero games and yet the closest thing to an edgy rival blew himself up in the first game.

That fag harpuia doesn't count

>what is a spiritual successor

it's gotta be funny to be a joke ;_;

what about Phantom

Literally the guy he's referring to

>he thinks people played the arcade game
>he thinks people even know the collections on GC/PS2 exist

This retard wasn't talking about a spiritual successor.

Oh. I thought you fight him in Zero 3 though? I don't remember him blowing himself up but I haven't played any of those games in years.

He's a ghost in cyberspace. His physical body dies in 1
