Does ZX have a NG+? Can I keep OX from the start? Or is it purely a post game thing and the only extra model you can start with is X?

maybe?
youtube.com/watch?v=D4vcaRHYHOo

Personally I think it’s the atmosphere. Zero was the most stoic of all the Megaman characters and now he is facing a world teetering in the abyss of extinction. The difficulty can be chalked to the sheer weight of the world on Zeros shoulders, the same weight that snapped X the OST that is so desolate sometimes like departure and so filled whit hope like Esperanto.
How Ciel is able to interact better whit Zero than even X did and how her really humane interactions clash whit his demeanor, how these constants war are eroding everything, how everything feels so desolate and death.
It’s a unique feeling that no other saga is able to match.

No NG+ with model OX unlocked, unfortunately. Have to use cheats to unlock it. It's a shame, because it would have made for a fun extra on top of having Model X all the way through the game.

>Cyber Elf X’s dialogues imply he was slowly becoming like Copy X in the century Zero was gone
Maybe Ciel didn’t make a flawed copy. Maybe Ciel made a Copy way too good.

If I don't see 4 subtanks on my end-game file I'll be sad as fuck, so yeah it is.
I did think this far thankfully, but the problem is weirdly enough the journey UPWARDS, due to my controller being fucky. Guess I'll have to suck it up and use the shitty d-pad.
I have, hell I've DONE THIS years ago, but it's still fucking hard. Appreciate the tips tho, I'll just stick to it until I break through.

What do you guys hate most about the Collection? What would you change about it to improve things to your liking?

A lot of the general themes for bosses, and levels are kind of random for the Zero/ZX games

>What do you guys hate most about the Collection?
Z chasers. Give me the boss rush instead or at least make the minigames the central part and co-op ish.
>What would you change about it to improve things to your liking?
Cyber Elf X or Copy X as playable in all of Zero series but of course as a bonus for beating it.
For ZX Advent have Aile/Vent playable.

The fact that Z chaser doesnt let you race any old players ghost or the fact that only a small handfull of stages can be played on it

you asked for it...
>Implement the remastered OST as the default stage songs.
>Make the drama CD fully fledged anime cutscenes.
>Extra prologue of the 2 years that Ciel and Zero lived happily in the base before Z3.
>Remake the 4 games into a more anime like style like the one MN9 showed on its first concept. But only if you can keep the game physics intact.
>Zero challenge
>Battle against X5 X as a really difficult unlockable.
>Metal case and red cartridge for the especial edition
>Updated lorebook whit the newest piece of art and the extra details that only the people who watched the GV or DMFD heard.
>Extra absurdly expensive version with all the soundtrack alongside the book.
>Tone the hard difficulty so you can use all your moves but the bosses have new attacks patterns and all the attack ideas that where originally discarded due to being too cruel even for a MMZ game.
>Extra mode using the Mithos armor
>Extra mode of both ZX where you can use CX C is based on Craft not Ciel mind you.

That Classic Collection 2 is the only one of the collections to let you just select a boss from any of the games to fight whenever you want.
>What would you change about it to improve things to your liking?
Add that option. Other than that I'm completely satisfied.

Why do you post this in every thread?

>he doesn't know

Agree. I like Zero's portrayal here too. It's funny because he's supposed to be more of a blank slate due to amnesia more than anything but I vastly prefer him being a ball of anti-social stoicism rather than his more emotional and hot-blooded depiction in the X series. He's very intolerant of people's shit here and has a cold "slash first, ask questions later" attitude which I think is fun to see bounce off of Ciel. His coldness in MMZ makes the fact that he's a genuinely good person stick out all the more. Also he's kind of a deadpan snarker, which lent to some pretty good lines.

>only two Z-Chaser stages per game?!
>no Remastered OST even though the technology is totally there
>minor but the pixel scaling is a little fucked when it shouldn't be
>no option to toggle blood spurts for the English game
>no option to use the Japanese audio track for English ZXA or enable it for English ZX1
>they didn't add the Drama Tracks with subtitles in the gallery

I know I wasn't expecting much but I'd have really liked it to feel truly definitive. I'd have liked a timeline feature and a character database in the collection too, to supplement the games' story. Even include some charts for things like ranks and forms, like the Complete Works book had. I feel like if it's gonna be a collection of old games it should go all out in the extra material. Even the gallery artwork is mostly shit we've all seen before.

Forgot one thing, but OG Classic Legacy Collection had an option to pick specific bosses to refight, which i LOVED. Wish that would have returned.

>What do you guys hate most about the Collection?

No tweaks to the games. I'm especially annoyed that the Command Dash can't be disabled in Zero 1-3. Other than that, I wish it had options like being able to disable the leveling in Z1/2 and allowing us to fight any boss at any time with any setup.

>What would you change about it to improve things to your liking?

Cool unlockables, such as playable guardians or whatever, for beating the games. I especially would have liked one for beating all four Zero games in A/S rank and both ZX games in expert. There is not even a fucking achievement.

Shit! Brain fart. I beat this things once each year and still made that mistake.
Anyways I know this is somewhat off topic but man I wish WF worked alongside Inti more often. Their contributions to Pirates curse are what made that Game stand out from all the rest of her games.

nothing, it is fine. I just typed 'not working instead' of 'not even charting' for some reason. i'm playing on it.
and it is not even if you have a shitty pc. the game for some resason enters in conflicts with random softwares installed on pc. friend of mine has a 5k pc and he is getting slowdowns and had the codec issu while every other game is fine.
I would not be surprised if the save file issue in the pc version has something to do with processor related programs. the pc version seems to be just a copypasted version of the console version

You mean X was about to become a reploid murderer for shits and giggles?

More like he wasn’t giving value to lives anymore, so mass genocide to solve problems wouldn’t become out of question

What if Lumine fried Axl's brain, and he destroyed himself to put an end to the virus, and years later Albert came along and used his data as blueprints for Model A

So how am I supposed to know the Zero 4 recipes without looking up shit online?

Attached: 1559071729433.png (200x163, 10.91K)

I like how the Zero series gave us a depiction of what X would be like on the off chance that he became Hitler. I don't know why everyone hated Copy X. I mean, damn. The guy had stripper poles in Neo Arcadia. What more could you ask for?

themegas.bandcamp.com/album/snakes

Who cares? Look em up online so you can save yourself the trouble. Double Jump chip, and Junk Armor Zero are so based

Master Albert has the best voice in the dub though

Without zero and many F ranks yeah he was giving up.

NPCs tell you tell you some and give hints for others, but I don't think they tell you about all of the chips, particularly the level 3 recipes.

Best advice I can give you is get fast. You don't have to be accurate or get through it perfectly without damage, just get through it as fast as possible.

Pandora is actually a boy and Prometheus is actually a girl

The English dub is pure gold for how bizarre it sounds. It honestly sounds like they didn't even hire professional VAs and just got people around the office to read lines with no context or direction at all. I fucking love it.

Z Chaser not having more stages for each game is kind of shitty, and not having a boss rush challenge for each game is sort of a let down. The closest to a boss rush are the few stages in Z Chaser that are the final level.

Stay in your peace and ROT IN IT

How is this fair?

>he had to grind

As soon as you can charge your buster to yellow charge all bosses are free.
Saber combos and charges are good but are pretty much optional

The Sabre is still pretty useful on a number of occasions, though. You really do only need to max out your Buster, as it shits all over everything for the most part

>emotional and hot-blooded depiction in the X series
Zero was never this except in X4.

Zero was always the confident older brother character.

Holy fuck man Maha Ganeshariff is filtering me hard on my Zero playthrough, I'm going for an A-rank run and not using casual mode or the save assist. This fucking elephant bastard.

I don't think it's missable?

...but that's not even one of the hard stages/boss fights of Z1

Yeah, and this is my first time playing this game.

Really? Then it's just a pain in the ass to get? From he way i saw people crying about it I thought it was a one time only thing

He's super easy user. 90% of what he does is avoided with a single dash and gives you enough time to charge the saber. Just don't try to be fancy or jump if he's not rolling on the ground.

It can be if you don't use boss weaknesses like a chad.

In that case, at least use save assist to practice.

You can beat him pretty well by playing it safe and use a buster. You should be able to dodge all his attacks with 100% safety, except when he's rolling across the stage throwing out bombs, but that shouldn't hurt you much.

Also take note of missable elves.

People are dumb. You can activate the lava flow machine again if you already finished the stage to try without doing it in the middle of the mission.

>going for A rank on your first playthrough of Z1
>struggling this early
Do yourself a favor and finish the game once before going for ranks

Muh dyk

I like Zero in X2 much better mechanically, the two-charged-shot-saber-wave combo that all Zero fights since then have had was designed as a deliberate trip-up for your own double charged shot, by canceling out both your charged shots and then having a third attack to counter. Zero in X2 is also constantly attacking in some way and tries to stay close to the player when possible. X2 >= ZX > X5 = Z3

How are you guys playing? Are you all forcing or aiming yourselves at S Ranks only or just getting whatever rank?
I'm kinda getting really frustrated literally pulling my hair off and hitting myself with the controller, shit's hard to master.

Just go back to your smash threads and wank off in there faggot.

I'm A ranking the games. S rank is too masochistic for me. But then again I don't use elemental chips on bosses nor subtanks so I guess with those both S ranks become much more attainable.

I'm back, anyway yeah I finally beat this dude. Was pretty rewarding. I found the factory level easier actually.

How old is Ciel? Somehow I feel like she is a Teen, but she could be loli age too, but she acts really mature as if she was 20+, any confirmations?

14

14 in the first game, 15 in the second and third, 16 in the fourth

She made Copy-X when she was 9, is 14 in Zero 1, 15 in Z2, and 16 by Z4

She built Copy-X as a child, and during the Zero games she's between 14-16

I want ZX3 to have scene where the biometals channel the souls of the heroes to give Aile/Vent a motivational talk.

>Thetis is the genocider obsessed with the ocean

So, out of all the Chose Ones, including a war obsessed-evolutionary, a cyborg ninja and the other genocider, Thetis, the guy with the most overspecialized biometal that sucks 90% of the time, is the one that will win in the end?

same, i'm reloading often when going for S rank Z2 hard mode, but i gave up at the flying ships. i'm cool with the bosses. it's the stages that i need patience for. taking 4 hits to small things and mistakes is pretty much a -4 penalty to my score. maybe i should finish hard mode once for the first time to get better at it. my end goal is to do the whole game on hard mode in 1 go. only did that with z1 so far

Fuck i cant remember the details

user im talking about the part literally within the first hour of the game when you just get chronowhatever's transform

this area

Teleport back to where you entered the ice floe from the camp, the go up to the upper right part of that area. You'll find another area to explore with a new transformation there

I wish easy scenario didnt inflate health to fuck you levels. It's great for skipping grinding but it's too much-basically a god mode.

Well shit i cant remember. You climb those lines with the cabbage dude you get in the tower

You use the Rospark for that, you use the weakness of the orbs against them, so cling on the poles, charge up, and smack the orb

yes, i don't use save assist. otherwise, and thankfully faster in Z2, i game over and then Continue to try again.

well shit

I just reset upon every hit or lost live. Might as well not have lives at all.
I'm a fucking autist and this is seriously holding me back from having fun, I don't know how to deal with e-pride.

Holy fuck is the Switch actually doing this well there

>only achievements left are collecting the sub-tanks for Advent and then actually beating Advent for the last 2
I am pleased with this. Then I'll fuck around in Zero 4 with hard mode.

same here, man. i'd rather just start with 0 lives so when i fuck up just let me start over on a clean slate. and then on the other hand the extra lives is still fine for practicing whatever section is giving you trouble or extra practice for the boss. other times you just want to be progressive about it without the extra lives/downtime.

losing a life is shit since you get triple penalized for it. one for re-trying, one for taking consecutive damage between tries, one for huge penalty for enemies killed. i'll always restart by fucking around on the boss until i game over.

without spoilers

is ZXA gimmick just usin axl's enemy transformations from x7/8 the whole time?

no Forms from ZX?

You get the Four Guardians and ZX (Model X shows up but isn't usable), you can transform into all pseudoroid bosses

You only copy bosses, the ZX forms return.

Satellite elves are penalty free accessories you can switch up freely
Fusion elves are the olde style elves, with an addendum: if you enter the Cyberspace, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR FUSION ELVES get activated simultaneously, for free - no deaths and no penalty (well, entering cyberspace mid mission has a 5pt penalty)
Most elves can be endlessly evolved either into S or F, some are just one of the two.
