Title: Best of Zero's themes
Post by: Saber on November 15, 2008, 04:10:32 PM
OK, so let's try this again.

Out of all characters in the Rockman Universe, Zero is pretty much the one with the most recognized and unique themes, usually a new one per game. So, what's your favorite one out of these?

For myself, it's a pretty hard decision actually. Lots of these are quite awesome themes. But I believe I will still go with the original, with the SNES version of X3 and the Command Mission theme close behind.

Hmm, which is it going to be, there're SO many different cool tunes to choose from...

I like his opening stage of X4 the most. It embodies the character for me.

X3.

YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAH.

I love MMX3. Because of everything.

My favorite is still the opening of X3, when he comes busting through the celing, ready to kick some ass!  I'll never forget when I first played that, many moons ago.  To this day, I still thought it was bona-fide bad ass!

It's really a toss up between X2's X vs. Zero, X3's Intro, Theme of Zero (Z1) and Area of Zero (Z1). I voted for Theme of Zero (Z1) though due to the fleshing out of one of the most memorable X1 tracks.

Also, a slight chuckle escapes me when I see the Theme of Zero X3 PSX version. They butchered that version horribly.

Shoot, now I'm going to have to listen to alllllllll those songs before I can decide.  At least you left out the themes from that Extreme cyber command whatever for Game Boy.

Why just listen? Play through the games instead!

My vote went to Area of ZERO (Z1). For this song I prefer instruments used in game over those from RTRZ.

X4 was my favorite, it was catchy. Unlike X3's...

Uh, did either Cyber Mission or Soul Eraser even have a Zero Theme? I honestly don't know.

Post by: Rodrigo Shin on November 15, 2008, 10:01:22 PM
X1's followed by X6's rearrange (fucking appropriate song) and then X3's I guess. I like the beginning of X2's but that is about it.

EDIT: Motherfuckingly stupid bold tag! YARRRR

Music playing during intermissions (ie Cain telling you that he has found the boss lair or whatever) is Zero's theme from X1, in Xtreme 1.
Title: Re: Best of Zero's themes
Post by: Hypershell on November 15, 2008, 11:36:20 PM
An EXTREMELY tough decision, but I'm going with X2.

X1 and all remixes thereof, as well as X5, also rank high.  Although frankly rare is the Zero theme that I do not consider exceptional (wasn't all that fond of X3's, though).
Title: Re: Best of Zero's themes
Post by: Rock Miyabi on November 16, 2008, 01:32:55 AM
Add me to the list of people who think X3's was one of the more bland, uninteresting themes of his.

So I'm going with "THEME OF X SERIES - SAVED BY ZERO" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swzK7Q8teSM)

Followed by the original X1 theme, regardless of which remixed version it is. X2 after that.
Title: Re: Best of Zero's themes
Post by: Trask on November 16, 2008, 03:53:45 AM
My vote is for Theme of Zero (Z1).  I really thought that was an awesome remixed track to open up the Zero series.  Zero (X1) is my runner-up.
Title: Re: Best of Zero's themes
Post by: yanmaoption on November 16, 2008, 04:32:47 AM
Where are EXE Transmission Zero themes?
Anyway, my vote is for THEME of ZERO (from Rockman X) (Z1). The best remix of all.

Doesn't count, EXE Transmission Zero isn't the real Zero, so he isn't included. But that track is good, no doubt.

I like his theme on X5 it's so awesome!
Title: Re: Best of Zero's themes
Post by: Mirby on November 18, 2008, 05:46:48 PM
My choice: Beamsabre Beat ZEROv2 - Darkesword (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01235/)
It's a mix of his theme from X1, the battle against him in X2, and opening stage in X3. Granted, I don't understand what's actually said, but still awesome.

It starts out with that voice sample of Wily saying "Go, Zero! You're the strongest robot!", then courtesy of one or another "Let's go!" every now and then, then it's him (Zero) yelling at Colonel in the Memorial Hall battle... and something else entirely that I'm guessing should be from X4, as well. It's Okiayu alright at any rate, and I'm happy with that.

Agreed.  Beyond that, it's the most awesome track out of his themes.  I love the solo at around 0:50.  X4 has one of my favorite soundtracks.  The SNES X3 theme he has is pretty cool, too.

oh, so its Wily? huh. then again, havnt listened to it in a while.
also, I love the part where you hear him shooting 3 charge shots followed by a bunch of saber swings. thats my favorite part.

It's Isoc's voice acting from the cutscene from X6 after you beat Gate using Zero. The entire rest of the voice acting in that song is from X4.

Mega Man X1 Zero theme is the best one I had heard so far and I do enjoy Mega Man X3 Zero theme but who wrote and composed those songs again? Man, I don't hear music like that in the MM Universe anymore.
Title: Re: Best of Zero's themes
Post by: HyperSonicEXE on November 20, 2008, 07:02:07 AM
Eventually, I had to choose MMX1 Zero's theme.

But I really wanted to vote for his X3 theme.
Title: Re: Best of Zero's themes
Post by: ParasiteBirth on November 29, 2008, 04:01:14 PM
 I voted for his X4 opening Stage song, but it was hard to vote between that one and the PSX Rockan X3 opening stage song.

If we're going the route of fan-based remixes, then I sure as hell can't argue with that one.  That tune is jaw-dropping, it's been one of my favorites ever since it was released.

Zero's X1 "intro" theme (where he shoots at Vile and all) is so badass that they brought it back and remixed it as the first level theme of the first Zero game that you hear.

.. But the X4 Intro Stage theme gets my pick. >.>;;
Title: Re: Best of Zero's themes
Post by: Hypershell on December 01, 2008, 05:38:20 AM
I still wish they'd continued that as a tradition at least in Z2.  As cool as Departure is, I was *REALLY* hoping for an X2 remix.

I thought it was crap.
I think you're not Scottish.

Funny, I just found that while looking for samples of the choices...


Anyway, I'd have to go with X2's vs. Zero theme...I loved that fight!

X1 and 3 are nothing but nostalgia in my opinion the tracks are ear grating and repetitive and boring, X5 and Standby Zero are probably the best I've heard, although the best tracks seem to belong to X himself, including the X3 intro and X4,

If only we where allowed to include the intros from the Z games.
Title: Re: Best of Zero's themes
Post by: Acrosurge on December 30, 2008, 07:40:50 PM
As fitting as MMX1 Zero's theme was (and it IS the character's defining theme), it was too repetitive.  As a piece of music, I prefer the diversity of Awake Road Again in X7.  XCM's Standby - Zero was also quite good.

In the end, all the themes fit.
Title: Re: Best of Zero's themes
Post by: Hiryu on February 19, 2010, 08:16:48 AM
Well for me, It's a tough decision. They are all quite good.

It's easier for me to say which one is my least favorite, which would be X6's. It's made more for a sentimental part in the game. It's not terrible, but I would prefer any of them over this one.
Title: Re: Best of Zero's themes

Definitely X3, hands down, without a shadow of a doubt.

Zero 1 is a remix of X1, so...?

Tough choice between X3 and MHX. I'll go with MHX's theme for a change.

Post by: Irgendein on February 19, 2010, 01:40:25 PM
Of the poll: X2's, followed closely by X3's

However my overall favourite is the "Past of Zero" theme from X4.

I see "Departure" from MMZ2 as Zero's theme more than anything, so I'd say that.
However I voted for his RTRZ theme.

Post by: keiang on March 05, 2010, 10:18:54 PM
...Last time I checked, the "Zero Dies" theme from X1 was actually X's theme; it's titled "Variable X."

Chalk me up to undecided, I don't really have preference toward an particular song.

Last time I checked, the OST. I think the exact name was "Variable X (Demo)". Not 100% sure though. I'm positive it was X's theme though, at least in MMX1 (might've been changed in MHX).
Title: Re: Best of Zero's themes
Post by: Align on March 07, 2010, 03:52:44 PM
Which OST? I have OSTs for all the X games (except CM), and only 2 and 7 have anything approaching song titles rather than identifiers (which stage, which cutscene...).
Title: Re: Best of Zero's themes
Post by: Saber on March 07, 2010, 04:02:11 PM
It is actually just called "Demo" on the Capcom Music Generation Rockman X1~6 album.
