Tatsunoko vs. Capcom (the sequel topic)

[HyperSonicEXE]

Battle of the Blondes!

[RMX]

I hope it's really Zero

[Acid]

How many Zero's are there in Capcom's repertoire?

[Hypershell]

I'd personally prefer the X-series Zero, but we all know MMZ Zero gets all the cameo appearances...

Plus, maybe they could have him channel a little bit of Omega into his Level 3, and make him do Omega's version of the Shun Goku Satsu.

I'm never going to understand what connection people draw between Ranbu (thank you, Marshmallow Man) and Shun Goku Satsu...

High five! Personally, I want Z Zero for his moveset more than his looks. I want to use the Triple Rod as a pogo stick on my opponent's head, I want to have some fun the Chain Rod, etc. As horrible SvC:C may have been, I really liked Zero in it.

Z-series Zero may have some interesting moves, but unless some Omega-channeling is done it means no Earth Gaizer-esque attack and no Double Charge Wave (and even if that's in it'd have to be done with a freaking pistol).  In any post-X2 timeframe that is always failure (and this is why ZX > ZXA).

Classic series and X series are the same. Then there's Zero series. EXE series. And Model Z in ZX series. ^^

They should just make a mix of the 2 of them already.

I count Mega Man's Zero as one Zero. What I meant was... "Are there any other Zeros in Capcom's history other than the red, spotlight stealing saber swinging, blond, maverick hunting maverick from the Mega Man franchise?"

[VixyNyan]

I looked around and there doesn't seem to be any other character. o.o;

That's what Model OX is for.  Plus it put Zero's thong on a woman, thus making Nakayama's design acceptable.  If it only had X2's dash-blade and an arm-mounted buster it'd have been perfection.

[Acid]

They'll reveal a completely new Zero and the go SURPRISE! THAT'S WHAT HE WILL LOOK LIKE IN... MEGA. MAN. X9!

And then everyone will die from a joyful heart attack.

[Solar]

He doesn't have Z Zero's fun toys.

Yes

I would totally approve of this.

Also, if it is MMX-Zero, I really hope that they make a kick-ass remix of his X3 Theme.

[Hypershell]

Fixed.

Alright, kidding, kidding.  I respect the right of PB to disagree with me.  Provided it does not concern Xtreme2.

(*uppercut* PLAY IT NOW!!!)

[Satoryu]

you know what, just make a medley of the three SNES themes. and if they're REALLY nice, throw in Sky Lagoon, too.

[Hypershell]

DarkeSword's done the earlier.

I guess I'm some freak of nature in that I didn't really care for Zero's X3 theme.  I mean, it's good, it's just that other Zero themes tend to be better IMHO.

[Fxeni]

I always preferred Zero's theme from X1, myself. X2's is probably better suited for fighting though (considering it was designed for such a use).

[Protoman Blues]

In terms with the SNES Zero themes, the reason I like X3's the best is because it's sounds so much more heroic.  I mean, I love X2's Zero theme, but it's more boss battle-ish to me and not so much a theme.  X1's theme is classic, and I'd be perfectly happy with them using that theme for Zero as well, especially if it's Zero series Zero.  But X3's Zero theme will always be my favorite because it's the most heroic sounding one out of them all, in my opinion.

[HokutoNoBen]

Again...

EDIT: ON THE OTHER HAND!

...As people on the SRK post have put up as a suggestion, it may NOT be Zero we're thinkg about, but instead "Zero Gouki", the Giant Akuma robot from Cyberbots.

He WAS on the proposed character lists, right along side some of these other picks, like Joe the Condor and Ai-chan/Yatter 2. So, it may be too early to celebrate just yet...

So, in short, there's still a good element of doubt, which may make it so that this isn't the Zero that 99% of us are thinking about. We can only wait and see. Personally, since we already have two giant characters, I don't see the reason to add a 3rd (and a Capcom originating one, at that).

I DO like that idea of it being an "all new Zero that serves as a preview for X9" angle, though, immensely. 

I'm never going to understand what connection people draw between Ranbu (thank you, Marshmallow Man) and Shun Goku Satsu...

Well, it's relatively simple. What do they have in common?

In both cases, upon a successful connect, the user basically opens up a can of free whup-ass on the opposition, in the form of an "auto-combo". The only real difference between the two is that you can see everything going on in one, and the other usually has things hidden by darkness.

Coincidentally, in Zero Gouki's version of the Shun Goku Satsu in Cyberbots, you actually COULD see everything going in the move, basically making it more of a Ranbu, any way.

[Protoman Blues]

...I still really want Tekkaman Blade's theme to be the Teknoman US theme!   

[Solar]

But it won't be because we'll get generic stage music instead

[Protoman Blues]

Also, since we have 3 Gatchaman characters, would it be too much to ask for one of them to have the US G-Force theme?   

[HokutoNoBen]

Sorry Blues. You're just going to have to pretend the generic synth in the new release is the generic synth from G-Force.

[Protoman Blues]

LoL, but can it get more generically synthy than the G-Force theme? 

[Hypershell]

Am I the only one who made it a point to collect Zero's parts, or what?  Boss theme is fine, fanfare for trash-talking the final boss after pjwning your clone is better.

"Wailing on them" isn't enough of a similarity to be considered related attacks.  Besides, what version of Shun Goku Satsu scores only 7 hits?

Regardless of whether or not you collect his parts, it still sounds more boss battle-ish.
