William White
Nothing, but it still did shit better than ZX:A.
Elijah Phillips
both are pretty average games when you put them next to Zero series, but yeah, the first one did some shit better. The 2nd game had better boss fights and a better sub-weapon/transform system.
Henry Miller

off yourself
Wyatt Lopez
The map system, it's the only reason I don't replay it more even though I replay the Zero series pretty often.
Robert Jones
I didn't like the transforming system that much. Would have liked it more if you just got a weapon like most of the games.
Gavin Collins
Wait I thought this was a what went wrong thread fuck

Definitely not the map.

I love this guy art, it has that doujin feeling to it.

Because he does do(u)jins. Glad he's coming back for Inti's new game.
Matthew Peterson
The doujins he has done are fucking perfection.

I was talking more in the sense of "independent work" but it's okay i guess. care to share

third playthrough. you have to play as both Vent and Aile to get it back

fuck off
Xavier Diaz
ZX artist was Makoto Yabe (the guy Wayforwad hired for Pirate's Curse), Dragon Marked For Death is bringing Toru Nakayama (Zero series and a fuckton of porn) back.
Brayden James
Mega Man games are meant to be beaten over and over. Hiding Biometal X behind two playthroughs is basically nothing.
Oliver Collins
Not the "removing the japanese voices" part, but otherwise lots of things.
So long since I unlocked it back I even forgot you lose it. That was pretty lame too, yeah.
Andrew Turner
>ZX artist was Makoto Yabe
I-It wasn't Toru?! Fuck.
Ryder Smith
I just hate how biased Inti is towards Zero.
Adam Wright
The idea of a Mega Man metroidvania is great and it would have been perfect if the map in ZX was actually helpful. Also I really liked that unlike the Zero series, you actually get concrete rewards from bosses in the form of Biometals.
ZX3 never ever.
Parker Bailey
It took the MMZ gameplay and did something that was actually decent with it.
Lincoln Foster
Actually according to one of the developers that's her skin, not a skin suit
She is a reploid, after all.
Justin Garcia
Honestly that game was great and it had tons of good ideas but fans didn't realize the amazingness of Biometals.
Imagine a Zero game but instead of having Zero as the only playable character, you start with Zero and unlock Harpuia Mode. It's the same game, but you can play as Harpuia, which has a vastly different moveset. Well, there's also Fefnir Mode, Leviathan Mode and Phantom Mode. Also X Mode if you're nostalgic.
If Inti announced MMZ5 would have Zero and the Four Guardians as playable characters, people would lose their shit. Biometals are so much more than what they appear.
Colton Reyes
Everything but the useless ingame map. Best damn Mega Man action-platformer.
Asher Walker
>that's her skin
Why would her face be a different color then?
Also Aile is a human, just modified to live longer somehow. I'm pretty sure she still has flesh, they're not full on androids now.
Owen Scott
The problem is most modes outside of Zero and Harpuia suck ass, and the new weapon energy system is shitty.
John Young
It was Inafune that was still calling the shots then, Zero is his obsession.
Jonathan Torres
The only mode that is inefficient is Leviathan. Phantom and Fefnir are really powerful options and are pretty fun
Ryder James
This is from the 25th anniversary art book
Cooper Perez
>He wasn't good enough to get boss skills
Hudson Barnes
No one gets A and S ranks on their first playthrough of Zero 2. No one.
Also I eventually did get them and found out I wasn't even missing much because most of them are shit and nowhere near as good or fun to use as Zero's abilities in the X series.
James Gray
I'm still mad we didn't get his Biometal
John Young
Maybe he wasn't strong enough to make a Biometal out of.
Connor Barnes
He was just a weaker X though. Even Zero says so.
Benjamin Clark
Wouldn't see any reason for there to be a Copy X Biometal when there's a Biometal based off the real X
Isaac Perez
I don't care about lore, I just want to play the Ultimate Armor in Mega Man ZX.
ZX's engine >>>>> X4's engine
Camden Watson
Lewd.
Nathan Adams
I liked that they ditched ranking and cyber elves, but I think the "don't damage the biometals" system was even worse. I wish they just went with Z3/Z4 cyber elves.
Also the map system wasn't "confusing". It was an abomination.
Thank goodness you realized your mistake
Luis Hernandez
>fans didn't realize the amazingness of Biometals.
Individually they're alright, but they don't work well within the game. It feels like shit having to switch between them, and ZX is too effective compared to the rest most of the time.
>If Inti announced MMZ5 would have Zero and the Four Guardians as playable characters, people would lose their shit. Biometals are so much more than what they appear.
I still say they need to release a MMZ0 with playable guardians. They already have the entire engine from ZX/A.
>No one gets A and S ranks on their first playthrough of Zero 2. No one.
You just replay the stage until you get A/S you idiot. Doing this is what makes you a better player. You're not supposed to just charge through and survive the stage. You're meant to ace the Zero games.
Andrew Powell
I thought the ZX series was an improvement over the Zero series. Also, the Zero games are NOT hard. At all. It's standard Megaman difficulty.
Parker Morgan
>replay the stages until you get A/S rank
That just sounds tedious as fuck, why would I do that on my first playthrough? I just hate the system in Z2 and Z3. Imagine if you had to get a good rank to get boss weapons in Mega Man 2.
I'm glad Z4 at least made it a guarantee that you get EX Skills if you play the harder version of the stage. See, that's a good tradeoff.
Benjamin Anderson
This is true mostly because you can airdash out of a ground dash. The fact that it didn't work in the x games bothered me to no end
Luis Ward

>That just sounds tedious as fuck, why would I do that on my first playthrough?
Because there're basically 2 ways to play Zero games. You can either brute force your way through, or you can basically treat getting a B as a gameover. The game is designed for the second way of playing through. You're expected to grind stages 4-5 times before going for your "golden" run, where you slice through enemies like a knife through butter, dance through projectiles, and manhandle the bosses after having mastered their patterns. In turn, those Ex-Skills make the later game a lot easier.
Inti perfected the Mega Man game loop in Z2.
It is the perfect name.
Jason Turner
Honestly I never really needed that many tries to maintain an A rank.
Jacob Green
*ruins your story
Parker Miller
Your mileage may vary. Certainly there are spots that require more tries/finesse to get through cleanly.
Julian Morales
You might as well have just posted this user.
Noah Garcia
What do you mean ruin? Sure the other megamen weren't super interesting (looking at you Siarnaq) but the idea was fun. P&P getting chumped was weak though.

Noah Collins
I don't remember how much time passed between Zero 3 and 4 but she's around 15-ish by the time of Zero 3.
Leo Robinson
ZX was pretty great. It's a little jarring going from the super somber tone of the Zero series to what feels a lot more OG upbeat series, even though ZX had some pretty grounded theming going on.
But the fucking map. Who here found that fucking stair to get to the burning city on the first try? It stands just out of fucking reach. If you're not using Model Hx to air dash around you'll be running like an idiot around the map for half an hour I know I did
ZXA could have been much better and half the pseudoroid transformations were fucking useless in battle and not fun to use. Who the fuck ever used bifrost? But I'll admit that the level design of ZXA was super fucking cool and I wish that was the world ZX started off with.

God damn it. I was so fucking convinced she was in her early 20's at most through those games, it just seemed to make sense. What the fuck Japan
Still the superior mega waifu
Jack Cooper
Model H. This and its sequel are great, very solid level and boss design all around, gorgeous and my favourite soundtracks in the entire MM series. Prometheus & Pandora and Serpent were awesome fights.
Aaron Fisher
>Because there're basically 2 ways to play Zero games. You can either brute force your way through, or you can basically treat getting a B as a gameover.
That's literally any game with ranking system. What a dumb declaration.

Cooper Howard
Levi Martin
what the fuck is this digimon shit in my mega man?
Blake Sanders
She is a genetically modified genius, so I guess I can give you a pass on mistaking her for a consenting adult.
Hudson Phillips
Her whole thing was being a super young smart girl. She was only 8-9 when she made Copy X too.
Cooper Robinson

Tyler Russell

Daniel Morris
Who's gonna call you out on it in this barren apocalyptic wasteland of a world?
Jordan Barnes
I'm still gonna ignore that and just think of her as a 20 year old or something
Not even for waifu reasons, I just think it's stupid otherwise. 20 year old is still pretty fucking young for all the genius level shit she pulled, but it's mostly about how mature and dedicated she is throughout all the games. She acts like she's got her shit together most of the time and it just feels more interesting like that.
When and where did she get juiced up on genius augmentation, anyway?
Eli Myers
Looking at her official artwork I would have assumed she was around 15 or 16. Ciel isn't even an outer:
>Roll Caskett and Tron are both 14
>Heck the original Roll is practically a 10 year old
Nathaniel Flores
She was more or less genetically made to be a genius since birth.
Isaac Mitchell
Let's put it to rest.
Omega vs Zero or Weil Vs Zero, which was more hype?
Gabriel Turner
>That's literally any game with ranking system. What a dumb declaration.
Sure, any game with a ranking system, and the entire skill system is based explicitly on the rank, inability to back track to redo stages for better rank, rank is computed based on a lagged average of scores rather than per stage and doesn't even reset when you start NG+. Almost as if they want the penalty of not Acing a stage to be basically permanent and lock you out of skills as much as possible.
Boy that sure sounds like every game with a ranking system!
Ethan Perry
Vat grown. Well maybe not necessarily grown, but she was modified from before she was born.
Jack Brooks
By who and why, though? Was Neo Arcadia just really into genetic modification? And if she was an experiment how the fuck did she end up in the resistance, you'd think they would keep a closer eye on her since she could literaly make their Supreme Leader at 8 fucking years old
Carson Harris
I've been meaning to play at least one of these but I'm pretty sure Metroidvania's don't hold me.
It was pretty clear she wasn't far along.
Camden Cruz
Yes. Getting top ranks in any game is hard and takes multiple tries. Wow, you've uncovered the secret of the universe.
