Zero was way cooler before he became playable.

[Protoman Blues]

Hatless Metools are the most dangerous ones because they have nothing to lose.

PLEAAAAASE draw this!

[Fxeni]

Guys, the point of this thread is that characters who you don't see a lot but always show up to save your ass are much cooler than character who are worked into the game, not whether you like Zero or not.

Pretty much my thoughts, along with he should have stayed dead after X1.

[RMX]

Hatless metools can still shoot at you

[Align]

X is a midget!

[Blackhook]

He is still taller than some Mavericks (Chill penguin, Bubble Crab, Serges, Split Mushroom, Storm Owl, Infinity Minijion....)

[Bag of Magic Food]

Thank you, I had been wondering what bosses other than Chill Penguin were shorter than X.

[Hypershell]

If you're worried about midget main characters, you are playing the WRONG series

Yeah, but that's supposed to be next to bosses, not next to the supporting cast.  You don't see ProtoMan walking around with a body twice as large as Rock's.

[Acid]

That's because Protoman is a Mega Man recolor.

[Hypershell]

Hardly.  He's thinner, and he has a scarf.

Plus his buster's always ready, 'cuz he's just that badass.

[Mirby]

Also, he's Protoman. 'Nuff said.

[Hypershell]

Touche.

along with he should have stayed dead after X1.

Hell no.  The X2 theme song alone warranted his revival.

(I STILL say it should have been in Xtreme2 somewhere)

I think I only really liked the introduction to that song.

Don't worry, I MSPainted it:


Hmm, maybe the real reason Mets wear hats is to hide their Sambo-ness.

You don't see ProtoMan walking around with a body twice as large as Rock's.

Yes this is true WAIT A MINUTE


How did this happen?!  ProtoMan is so tall, and...  Ah, I see, it's because MegaMan is crouching.  Here, if he stands up straight:



No worries... Wait, ProtoMan is still like 3 pixels taller!  And it looks like he's leaning, so he's probably even taller!  This is blasphemy!


This is madness!

[Fxeni]

Hell no.  The X2 theme song alone warranted his revival.

I must admit, that theme was pretty good.

To each their own, I guess. I'm also of the mind that the X series should have ended at X5, seeing as it was really starting to go downhill from there.

[Zan]

He is still taller than Chill penguin

That's remake propaganda, he might be shorter in Maverick Hunter X, but Chill Penguin is taller in the original. 163 cm versus X's 160 cm.

[VixyNyan]

This is madness!

This is SEEEEGAAAA!!

[Bag of Magic Food]

Chill Penguin is taller in the original.

Oh snap you are right!  I just checked, and Penguin is 2 pixels tallerrrrrrrr!!!!

But then again, maybe Mega crouches too much to compare properly.

[Zan]

I said:

Penguigo = 163 cm = 5.34 feet = 5'4"
RockmanX = 160 cm = 5.25 feet = 5'3"

Zan, you may seem to look like a superfan, but do you really work for Capcom? Accurate stats.

[Zan]

Chill Penguin's height is said in X1. See stage select Specs. X's height is listed in the manual to the game. Same for his weight of 54 kg and age of 14~15.

[RMX]

X's Age? 14 or 15?

[Fxeni]

X's Age? 14 or 15?

He means mental age, not physical age. Might want to clarify next time before confusion runs amuck, Zan.

[The Great Gonzo]

14/15? I always thought X looked 20, myself, but maybe that's because I first learned of the series through X4.

[Hypershell]

I'm also of the mind that the X series should have ended at X5, seeing as it was really starting to go downhill from there.

DO NOT get me started about all of the flaws in the X5 package.  The game is a completist's nightmare, and the ending was easily the most pointless that the series has ever seen.  Zero's "death" couldn't have been handled any worse; I was ecstatic when Inticreates rightfully one-upped Cappy with Z4.

X5 was a game that had a lot of cool concepts but outstandingly poor implementation.  X6 had to correct a great many of the game's power-up issues, and we had to wait all the way until X8 for a dual-armor game to be done properly.

[Police Girl]

DO NOT get me started about all of the flaws in the X5 package.  The game is a completist's nightmare.

I'm assuming you're saying that because of how chips are only collected after the boss LVL goes up past 1?

[Hypershell]

Oh, that's only the beginning...  X5 is one of those games that you really, really need to not look at too closely.  Because the more you learn about how it works, the more you realize how ass-backwards it is.  The illogical nature of how enemy kills affect ranks, the ranking system's tie-in to the parts, the parts being tied to life/weapon ups, the virtual inaccessibility of numerous Heart Tanks as Zero, the benefits of early repeated suicide, the obvious predetermined stage order, and the inability to get an early Gaea Armor.  All of this and more torments those who pay a little too much attention to X5.
