X / Re: Favorite Sigma battle theme?

I get they used the snazzy theme for the final area, but it technically should have played for the first Zero Virus stage.

Give a person an eternity to endure hardship, and they'll find a way. Guaranteed..Not quite. This is far more than just hardship. I think you are not fully appreciating what his punishment entailed. he was constantly dying. Constantly in death, as he put it, not quite dead, not quite alive. and he was tossed into a barren wasteland. to suffer for all eternity.
Quote
Especially someone of Weil's ambition.Ill admit they definitely underestimated his will.
Quote
I think death would've sent the message well enough.You can't send someone a message if they are dead. Death is a quick fast punishment. They wanted him to suffer, and suffer horribly and cruelly. A life sentence would not have cut it either, since he was already old, and would not last nearly long enough, nor would it be horrible enough. Again, they wanted him to suffer, and suffer horribly.
Quote
And if they really wanted to play God and turn Weil into a cursed Boogieman who wanders the wastelands, why didn't they pick a place that was truly isolated and desolate? Like the moon? Or Antarctica?I don't think you really understand just how the Earth was left after the Elf Wars. it was left barren and inhospitable. There's a reason Neo Arcadia is the last bastion of Humanity. There is literally nowhere else in the world to live that can support any kind of life. in Z4, Area Zero was the hot button issue it was, because it was the only place outside of neo Arcadia that had the means to support life due to Eurasia's environmental system being left running after the crash for over a century undisturbed.
Quote
By the way, where was X's compassion then?X didn't get to Weil. We dont really know the circumstances behind all of it. But since X and Zero were fighting Omega head on, they were able to take him in and legally try him. Weil however, was instead turned upon by the Reploids Zero turned against him with Dark Elf. And the survivors who got to him wherever he was, didnt hand him over, and there was nothing to be done by whatever was left of the government.
Quote
Probably would've been a good idea to strip the shell before they sent him off into space. Also transferring Omega's consciousness out of Zero's original body into a new one and destroying Zero's old shell. This would've also been a great opportunity to offer Weil an alternative to an eternity of suffering in exchange for help on destroying Omega's shell. Remember that even with the Dark Elf in Z3, "copy" Zero was still able to destroy it. And the original Zero beneath it. If he could do that by himself, then both him and X should've been able to annihilate Omega's shell.Do note most of the world was left in ruin. I doubt they had that kind of technology left by that point to do that. And even if he was a bastard monster, he was still a Reploid. X is compassionate to a fault. and keep in mind Zero's body was accuired by Weil for Omega legally. he asked the Govt for it, they gave it to him. And Zero gave his body to them to study. So Omega has a legal right to exist as he is. Again, what it all boils down to is the underestimation of Weil's will. Without Weil, omega would never have crashed back on Earth, and would have remained in orbital prison.
Everything boils back down to Weil in the end.
Quote
What was the plan, and why/how was he forgotten until Weil got to him? And how did Weil reintegrate himself into society well enough to acquire the resources to free Omega and later take control of Neo Arcadia? Wouldn't he have been branded an undesirable and thrown back out, or did he use a clever disguise?Zan aleady got to this, but ill add to it.
Weil was punished illegally. He was not given a trial, and was punished by the equivalent of a lynch mob. So from a legal standpoint, despite being a horrible person who deserved every bit of what he got, he has the right to come back to Neo Arcadia whenever he wants. he also manipulated Copy X's naivete. he pretty much made Copy X "owe him one", by resurrecting him. And played himself the nice guy who has payed his debt to society. And Copy X believed him. He trusted Weil enough to give him control over his armies.

Clearly, the judicial branch neither understood the persistence of the human spirit nor seen Highlander.You assume he was actually put through the judicial system and not handed over to an angry mob of survivors who declared him guilty without trial and just went straight to the worst, cruelest possible punishment. And it isnt unlikely to think that the experience would leave him broken. Any normal person would. But Weil was simply not a normal person. His burning hatred and desire for revenge kept his mind intact, although he lost any screws he had left.
Quote
But then this throws into sharp contrast all of the Mavericks X himself executed in the name of keeping the peace. You might argue that his hand was forced most of the time, but it still means that him sparing Mavericks is a rare exception to the rule of retiring them. I wonder why Omega--arguably as dangerous a Maverick as either Sigma or Zero--fell into that category.
Most mavericks fight to the death, and die, or even if not maverick, usually fight to the death for their honor or similar reasons. Only Dynamo is smart enough to retreat.
Omega is powerful enough, (and also has rejuvenating qualities to his exterior shell) that even after a final strike from X and Zero, he is not dead, merely disabled. Do keep in mind that they didnt even damage the body within the shell, just disable the shell. So they put him in a rocket and launched him into orbit for his sentence. He regenerated in that timespan.

Zero / Re: I had no clue that lot of fans hated MMZ4
« on: November 22, 2012, 12:29:33 AM »
Z4 was good. They hit the high note with music and the skill system, although it felt somewhat less rewarding when you were guaranteed an EX skill just by playing the stage in a harder difficulty, and not by a nintendo hard ranking system.
Story was good, I liked how it followed Z3, and how it tied all the way back to the X series with the Colony Drop and Area Zero. I loved what they did with that.
Esperanto is still one of the best tracks in the series, and perfectly conveys the right mix of emotions for that stage.
That said, it didnt feel quite the same as the last 3. Felt smaller almost. Probably due to the lack of eternally present elements like the Shield Boomerang, the Big 3, and Neo Arcadia itself.

One should also not underestimate X's image compared to Zero's. X and Zero are both Combat Reploids of the highest and deadliest caliber, but they have both very different images, particularly in the public eye.
Zero is looked at as a monster, a demon with unparalleled combat skill who kills and slaughters his enemies without hesitation or compassion. He projects a cold, hard, unfeeling personality, and definitely strikes a VERY imposing silhouette, with his crimson colored armor, broad shoulders, long blonde mane, and spiked helmet.
He is also of shady origins, much like X, being a highly advanced relic of a bygone century, however with no known creator, and a bloodstained discovery, in which he was a rampaging Maverick. Of course, that last part is not entirely common knowledge, but by the time of the Elf Wars, where all on Zero was laid bare with the discovery of his origins, I'm sure it wouldn't leave a good taste in people's mouths, much less in Zero's own.
X on the other hand, has pretty much the opposite effect. He acts and emotes on the same level as a a Human, is known to be very friendly, very compassionate and caring for others, and is a serene blue color, with a much sleeker, rounded design. He is known to have been created by the Father of Robotics, Dr. Light, and is known for disliking violence and having a tendency to hesitate in combat, or try to negotiate whenever possible.
His combat style also, leads to a difference in view. whereas Zero is a close ranged melee fighter who is frightening with a sword and is right in the middle of the blood soaked front lines, X is a long distanced shooter, who is distanced from the death.
Then there is the fact that Zero has been used various times as the object of catastrophe. He was the motivation behind the Eurasia colony drop that nearly decimated the Earth, which resulted in a virus with an eerily similar energy reading as him, (which also took his form) and the cause and motivations behind the Nightmare Virus and Gate's insanity. His body was used to create the Devil Reploid, Omega, and the Dark Elf, both of which arose in response to a way to deal with Mavericks caused by the Sigma Virus, which was discovered to have come from Zero all along, and spread by him, also making him the reason for Sigma's going Maverick and becoming the worst terrorist madman the world ever saw.
It's pretty obvious why people would look at him kinda funny, when pretty much because of him, 60% of Humanity and 90% of Reploids were wiped out by an apocalyptic war that also ravaged the planet and left most of it a wasteland.
X meanwhile, through all this, became a politician and was beloved by all for his personality and heroic exploits, and therefore once the war was over, everyone united under him and became the Leader of what was left of the world.
I mean, sure, he would have preferred Zero stay along with him, but he doesn't have NEARLY the same issues Zero had after all was said and done.

To add to PB:
That's the effect monster version, not the original ritual version, that's banned.
that's this one,
not this one
though i agree, i dunno why, theres tons of other far more overpowered cards out there, and this one has a drawback, even. You can't remove it from the field without removing it from play.
that said, I need to get my hands on a MoBC. Always wanted one... I would TOTALLY run it in a deck. Ritual or no.
