#X vs Zero

[sinnohborn-trainer-evan]

I always thought it was strange the way X3 and X4 kept foreshadowing the clash between X and Zero in X5. In X4 it made a lot more sense because that game revealed that Wily was the creator of Zero, so he was originally designed to be the antithesis of X. But in X3 this future prediction drops in without so much as a shred of context to tell anyone why X eventually has to fight Zero. It's like Capcom was somewhat in a hurry to finish the main events of Mega Man X, well before they decided to keep the series going after X5.

Though it doesn't really matter for me to say this over 25 years since this game existed, I don't think spoiler dropping this crucial piece of lore this early on into the series was a good idea, I'm sure all it likely did was raise eyebrows and turn heads.

This is a very old meme of mine I made years ago on imgflip and I’ve decided to spread it more (aka immortalize it on this site cause why not)

The story behind it was I had an idea on ruining the X vs Zero fight and for some reason I thought it would be funny to photoshop Toriel into this climatic confrontation (And not to mention Lifesaver has the Asgore goatee going) so I fired up good ol Microsoft Paint, carved a Toriel sprite and slapped her in a screenshot taken from a video the added a textbox and boom, this was born.

Don’t ask how she got here, all I’d imagine is one highly confused X and Zero and a few Lifesavers getting a fireball to the face (X too likely. Could a pissed off goat mom have the power to even one-shot a full Ultimate Armor X even?)

I mean while her in-game attack is listed at 80 but it’s actually something like 6 or 8 but in universe she is holding back… It is possible (Not to mention Quake Blazer is one of Ultimate Armor X’s weaknesses for his boss fight.) but knowing how similar her and X are personality-wise, likely nobody’s getting hurt (badly).

Unless you count the manga version of Ulimate Armor X from the X4 manga… She would be dead for just getting in the way…

I'm sure this has been mentioned -- this clip made me think about how Heimerdinger's long life experience is contrasted against Viktor's shortened life expectancy. This conversation/framing must have made Viktor feel undervalued. I don't know if the professor's species difference means he can't identify the clear deterioration his health has undergone, or if he's just too jaded by the shorter lifespans of humans, or what, but saying a decade will pass "in the blink of an eye" is brutal to say to someone in Viktor's position.

On top of that, on this rewatch and knowing what happens later, what is at stake, the microexpressions between Viktor and Jayce masterfully reference entire conversations that have happened off screen in the time skip. The animation style is able to capture that so well. Jayce's silent concern for Viktor, bracketed with getting swept away in the council and performance of it all, can be so easy to miss.

Comparing Heimerdinger's engagement with Viktor when he's known him longer with presumably significant positive regard... To Jayce's... It's just interesting to me.

Billy: Ohhh, why does everything have to be so complicated...?

Nicole: Okay, look. If you want something bad, you have to fight for it. Step up your game, Billy. Break out the L-word.

Billy: Lesbian?

Anby: The other L-word.

Billy: ...Lesbians?

So today I learned in SNK vs Capcom that Zero turns into a mimic and I had to draw this immediately, even if I was on a shaky bus-

X Vs Zero:

every mega man player knows this track is one of the most iconic of the mega man franchise, but i want to focus on the feel of it. this track is the theme for when x and zero, well, fight. its such an intense moment - two best friends who were always destined to fight against each other finally falling to that destiny. the way the track sounds is very good at displaying that sort of feeling, the feeling of a fight that could never be avoided, the feeling of two friends being forced to fight against their will, all because of what they were built for. theres a reason capcom keeps bringing this track back whenever x and/or zero comes up.
