yeah who plays meggerman for plot or character anyway

[Flame]

I play for game and story. Gameplay is cool, but it feels bland when there's no reason behind it.

[Bag of Magic Food]

Yeah, yeah, I know, ya gotta stop Robotnik from robotniking everybody

[Acrosurge]

Exactly.  Story adds to the gameplay experience.  I like blasting Sigma (or Weil if you prefer), but the experience is all the more satisfying if Sigma/Weil went and did something really horrible in the story line (like manipulating thousands of innocents or killing off 60% of the human population).

[Bag of Magic Food]

but then I would feel too sad about all the dead people to feel good about winning

[Flame]

Then you play as Zero, because he doesnt have that problem.

[Keno]

I feel the most satisfied when I beat X6, because Drunken Hobo + Terminator is the best form mash-up ever.

[Hypershell]

I just enjoy the fact that you get to kick the series baddie while he's down.  It's not often you get to see the main villain pjwned that badly in fantasy stories period, much less MegaMan.

That and the kickass form 2 music.  And the fact that it has the biggest, loudest, awesomest boss explosion ever (funny how that doesn't scratch Zero while X5's killed him; I guess Isoc/Wily planned ahead).

Co-signed on all accounts and for the last comment... could it be that Zero was destroyed in X5 because he and X already beat on each other prior to the Sigma fight?

[Setsuna F. Seiei]

Voted Vile/weil.

Since for the most part he was the only one that was Truly evil/a douche bag and just wanted to kill everyone. Sigma and the others all at least had their reasons.

[Night]

revenge isn't a reason?

Revnge is just an excuse to justifyyour wrong ways

I always thought Zero more or less died when Sigma shot him before the rave, at least in that ending.

It's too bad that either Phantom's explosion was stronger or Zero's new body was weaker.

[Hypershell]

It's too bad that either Phantom's explosion was stronger or Zero's new body was weaker.

Not really; it is possible to get hit with that and survive.  Even so, at least Phantom's move is a visible suicide attack.

in the regular storyline, Sigma never shoots Zero. Zero shoots at Sigma. only if you get Awakened Zero will Zero come to his senses and jump in front of X.

also, Phantom is just a l33t ninja. Who would have had a VERY kickass transformation in Zero 2 if he didnt kamikaze Zero.

[Keno]

I know. But he does die then in that ending, right? Does Sigma still go "bla bla taking Zero with me"?

Really? I never got hit by it because it was spoiled for me, but I'd read it was an instant kill.

He should take some advice from Dynamo & know when to retreat.

[Blackhook]

The kamikaze attack got me the first time....I thought that it will be some kind of cutscene  ...and no, it´s not an insta kill

[MereBytes]

Which one was the most evil?

Who do you think was the most vile, despicable, cruel, evil bastard in the entire franchise?

For me, it's probably Dr. Weil, but what do you guys think?

To me it's Sigma 'cause he keeps coming back to life like a freakin zombie.
I'm not suprised if Richter Belmont comes to visit in the next X game

[Keno]

Lumine assured us he wasn't coming back.

[Flame]

I dont think he does. It wouldnt make sense.

if you have low life it is...

He should take some advice from Dynamo & know when to retreat.

He cant. He's too honorable to do so. He will protect X to the death. It's his job.

[Keno]

I dont think he does. It wouldnt make sense.

X5 & X6 aren't exactly well-known for making a lot of sense in English.

if you have low life it is...

Well no [parasitic bomb]. That can apply to everything.

He cant. He's too honorable to do so. He will protect X to the death. It's his job.

More like he knows X is superior & realizes he's higher priority.

[Flame]

That too. But remember his original job was to be X's bodyguard. A body guard does his job, even if it requires the ultimate sacrifice.

[Zan]

I dont think he does. It wouldnt make sense.

Flame, what did you think Hypershell meant when he said X5 killed Zero in a boss explosion without regard for proximity?

Well no [parasitic bomb]. That can apply to everything.

Not really, there's a certain max health when no upgrades are applied. No attack but Phantom's suicide exceeds in damage a non upgraded Zero's health.

[Hypershell]

Flame, what did you think Hypershell meant when he said X5 killed Zero in a boss explosion without regard for proximity?

Flame's referring to if Zero was Awakened and was thus shot by Sigma in the stage prior, thus he should allegedly already be dead.

However, this is not the case.  Sigma's dialogue is no different in that instance, so we can only assume that Zero is alive, and thus killed, off-screen.

Yeah, the "normal" X5 ending is bad.  The alternate is even worse.
