why is x the weakest character in the game

[Sky]

i mean like in comparison to zero and sigma

he can beat them in fights but it takes nutso amounts of effort you know?

the same fights i breeze through as zero (and sometimes even axl) take me forever as x

[GameSaver]

it's because Wily built Zero to just beat [parasitic bomb] up without having to collect a billion armor pieces to make him better

One thing you have to give X7: Armor or no armor, X is a weapon of mass destruction.

X is also clearly the stronger character in X4, at least versus bosses.  Who'd have thought that shaving a beast's toenails would cripple him?  By comparison, Zero doesn't even HAVE a proper weakness weapon against Web Spider, and among several other bosses his weakness weapon is rather inadequate.  Thankfully X4 as a whole is pretty simple.

And Xtreme2.  Ultimate Buster.  Nothing else need be said.

He's pretty damn good in X8 too, those giant buster shots... especially with the laser buster part and quickcharge head part, skipping one level of charge and halving the time needed for the remaining two. Just gotta be careful not to charge to max, since the laser itself is kinda unwieldy.

[Protoman Blues]

Cause he's barely the main character in his own game series?

[Klavier Gavin]

Cause he's barely the main character in his own game series?

[Acid]

Cause he's barely the main character in his own game series?

And that's unforgivable.

[Rin]

Because he's a pacifist pansy, who would rathar shout through a megaphone "STOP FIGHTING PLEASE! VIOLENCE IS NOT THE ANSWER!"

....
Which of you know, what am I referencing here?

Seriously tough, he's a pacifist pansy.

[TheOnly]

I thought Zero was the weak one...

[Acid]

Zero is the weaker one. Also not as cool as X.

STOP SAYING OTHERWISE.

LALALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU

[Frozen Potato]

....i had no problem using X, and i have no problem using Zero as well, both of them are well balanced if you ask me.

[Chainsaw Guitar]

Anyone else getting Déjà vu from this thread...?

[Black Mage J]

Also, Zero dies 2 times and has the weak sauce to get controlled by helmet with tentacles. Then he has the nerve to go and permanently kill himself in his own series. Obviously, this man wants to DIE.

In terms of gameplay X is much easier to play with.

[Gaia]

X is fairly weak, because simply..





He can't keep track of his parts, and gets whiny after a few games. Plus issues with the ladies, and most likely bad with folks in green (see: GBD and massimo).

Clearly he's an anti-social who would rather play dating sims in his basement rather doing than his job. It's also why Zero hasn't given up his virginity yet, as he's a silent rapist (how else he can't score with a single chick?). Axl.. He's a drug junkie. The rest.. (Irisuu has mental problems, Vile is vengeful, etc, etc).

You know what X? Let Sigma be the lead for once.

[Mirby]

I think we've been over this already. We would play a dating sim with Sigma and one of the suitors would be GBD.

Naturally it would be non-canon.

[Protoman Blues]

And that's unforgivable.

It sure is!

DO THAT OUTSIDE!

In all fairness, X frequently has someone to save his ass (Zero in X1, Zero/Doppler in X3, Light in X5).  Nobody really threw Zero a frikkin' bone outside of his own series.

It's also why Zero hasn't given up his virginity yet, as he's a silent rapist (how else he can't score with a single chick?).

Zero may be the most stable of our heroes with the ladies, given that he is the only one to have gotten an actual date.  X is pathologically oblivious and will remain so until Alia gets the nerve to blitz him (which is probably not too far off given her wardrobe change in X8).  And Axl fantasizes of having a busty ninja stalker.

[Mirby]

Zero's been on a date?

[Hypershell]

Word of Sensei in MMXOCW, yes.
"We also had her [Iris] on a date for the CD illustration."

Lets not forget that normal X can charge and shoot at the same time in X8!

[Hiryu]

Hmmm, sounds like an operator issue rather than a gameplay issue. Why don't you try not sucking?

[TheOnly]

NO!!! X IS NOT WEAK! HE JUST SPECIAL! Dr. Cain said so.

[Acrosurge]

Nobody really threw Zero a frikkin' bone outside of his own series.

As you say, I recall that Zero was rescued more than a few times by X in the MMZ series.  X gave Zero the Z-Saber so he wouldn't get stomped by a Golem.  He hacked Neo Arcadia so Zero could actually get close to it and apparently protected Zero when Area X blew up.  He also dissolved the power of Dark Elf-empowered-Omega after the entire Resistance Force turned on Zero and Ciel.  Then he allegedly protected Zero again from Omega's final destruction.

[Sky]

X was a pain to use in X6.

But that game doesn't exist so hey.
