Originally, Megaman Zero was supposed to end at the third opus, but fans' demands for a sequel pushed the Inti Creates teams to create this opus, and to find a way of not having to bring Zero back, so I'm both very happy that Megaman Zero is the only Megaman saga to have a concrete end, but I can't help thinking that Zero died because of the fans, in a way... I mean MMZ3 would have made an excellent ending too, except for what would happen to Dr. Vile of course.
Dunno why but I always think Falling Down is better than Cannonball. While Cannonball is also a great song, embodying the final battle of the real and the fake One, Falling Down really evoked the feeling of "The ending of it all". It really satisfying finishing Weil, even though Zero must be sacrificed. At least, it's a perfect ending, and Zero died a hero.
I'm 100% with Falling down being the better song. Cannonball is great absolutely but as mentioned, it doesn't have the same sense of finality that Falling Down does.
Shinichi Itakura, the composer for this song, to this day responds to comments on covers of Falling Down. The covers by gametal and toxicxeternity both have huge comment threads of people thanking him and him responding.
I never believed Zero would die as a kid, I thought the internet was just being dramatic. One day a teenage me finally collected all four GBA games and set out on an adventure, one that left me crushed but happy.
"I never cared about justice, and I don't recall ever calling myself a hero... I have always only fought for the people I believe in. I won't hesitate... if an enemy appears in front of me, I will destroy it!"
Weil believed the First Law of Robotics (a robot may not injure a human being, or, by inaction, allow a human to come to harm) was absolute. Zero knew that the Zeroth Law of Robotics (a robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm) overrides it.
For all his bluster, Weil only saw Reploids as tools and barely did he acknowledge their sentience or capacity for growth. It never occurred to him that Zero could grow... and still choose to hold to the Three Laws. (Ironic that he was more machine than man by that point as well: he may as well have been even more of a Maverick than any of his minions by a long shot.)
@@MrCat-zz5eo To quote Zero from this battle. "At this point, all you look like is just another Maverick to me... and I'll destroy you just like any other Maverick."
Zero 4 was the first game I owned and beat in the Zero series and you did an excellent job recapturing the intense emotional roller coaster that is Falling Down.
I was 12 years old when I first finished mmz4. Weil himself became one of my all time favorite villains. A wily that doesn't play atound, a wily who unlike his predecessor is willing to cause the destruction of humanity and reploids. A true maniacal scientist.
To this very day this song sends shivers down my spine and gets me emotional. This game series had a profound impact on me as a person and it's incredibly important to me. You did a fantastic job with this remix, though I could have SWORN you'd done this one already! Always a delight seeing a new post from you!
You never cease to amaze me and the others man... I know another remixer who is just as epic as you, and he is absolutely awesome too! So it ain't just you who I find my favorite for mega man remixes! Either way, this one was just as good as your other one! Hoping you'll do one of my personal favorite boss themes sometime in the future... Power field! (AKA Kraft battle theme) That one is just as epic as this and Cannonball!
I think it is the situational similarity that makes me think of the "Break the world" incident from SEED Destiny everytime I heard this theme. Doesn't help the actual track for those scenes have roughly the same feel to them.
Wily did evil because he wanted to be a hero to humanity. Sigma did evil because he was corrupted by a virus. Lumine did evil because he wanted to advance reploidkind to its ultimate potential. X's clone did evil because it thought it was X, the ultimate hero. Elpizo did evil for the sake of his people, the reploids. Omega did evil because it had no other choice. Weil, though? He's just a spiteful bastard who's rotten to the core. Evil for the sake of evil. The single most vile villain the series has ever seen. So, Zero, for the sake of man, reploid, and everything in between, remind yourself: What are you fighting for?
Nunca me ha importado la justicia, y jamás me he referido a mi mismo como héroe. Siempre he luchado por la gente en la que creo. No dudaré... Si un enemigo aparece frente a mi, lo destruiré. Ciel: Zero! Zero!! Ciel... Cree en mi... Ciel: ZEROOOOOO!!
Adding to that: Zero was partially built based on Wily's wish to make a hero, as per the backstory highlighted in Mega Man 11. If we consider Weil and his atrocities an analogue towards Wily's later years and his wanton evil, then Zero's the last bit of good Wily left in the world undoing everything his creator ever did, finally winning that everlasting peace.
@@samueltaillant8825 How Weil is Model W? How much of his conscious self is left, and not merely his last thoughts etched like a ghostly recording left in each piece?
@@MrCat-zz5eo He's not Model W directly, but it's implied that he embedded Model W with his hate, somehow, which was then exploited by Albert Although, he's not the the biometal himself, but his consciousness has been distilled in it.

probably because it is the better song.
@@Ryusagi Any of them is better, both songs have a totally different meaning.
I'm right there with you. I love Cannonball but Falling Down always hit harder for me.
I'm 100% with Falling down being the better song. Cannonball is great absolutely but as mentioned, it doesn't have the same sense of finality that Falling Down does.
The 0th Law of Robotics:
A robot must not harm humanity or through inaction allow humanity to come to harm.
Zero: Don't call me a hero.
Also Zero: *heroic sacrifice*

what an absolute legend
Honestly, it's an incredible piece for the last battle of the series. Only wish was that the GBA had better sound output for it.
@@TheFluBugZ there's actually an original mix of it out there uploaded by the composer before it got compressed into the GBA
Even on his own videos, he responds and thanks every comment I'm pretty sure.
@@Xeno-The-Wanderer Linkies?
I never believed Zero would die as a kid, I thought the internet was just being dramatic.

When will the nightmare end?
when Zero ends it
If the nightmare is "There is no ultimate Falling Down cover", apparently about eight days ago, because good lord this is absolutely amazing
"I never cared about justice, and I don't recall ever calling myself a hero... I have always only fought for the people I believe in. I won't hesitate... if an enemy appears in front of me, I will destroy it!"
The 0th Law of Robotics:
A robot must not harm humanity or through inaction allow humanity to come to harm.
*hold tf up*
What a theme to end it all
The megaman games always know how to do final theme that are both emotional and motivational.
The 0th Law of Robotics:
A robot must not harm humanity or through inaction allow humanity to come to harm.
"How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?!"
A great end to an incredible hero.
Zero, you'll forever be one of the greatest characters ever to be created!
You do not know how LONG I've been waiting for this remix. Perfect because I've finished my exams for the semester.
@@cardboardgod Nope, Still don't know what I'm fighting for.
This piece always get me both chills and emotional.
Zero, after being told not to ride on nuclear missiles: "I'll think about it."
Also Zero: This fight.
Weil believed the First Law of Robotics (a robot may not injure a human being, or, by inaction, allow a human to come to harm) was absolute.

@@MrCat-zz5eo I mean, that's also a very valid interpretation, but c'mon, *_Zeroth_* Law. It's too perfect.
@@parzival-bo Indeed. Poetic and punny.

True, even back then. Zero always believed in what X was fighting for.

I swear he did it too
"【Remix】Mega Man Zero 4 - Falling Down ロックマンゼロ4 Falling Down BGMアレンジ" from Oct 13, 2017. Worth listening to both with the different instruments used.
When i first got to the final boss and heard zero's speech i knew that the mega man zero series was my favorite mega man franchise
I'll go to my grave saying this is the best final boss theme in the entire franchise. Marvelous work as always, Koki!
I was Falling Down and all over everything just to hurry and play this the moment I saw it. Great stuff as always!
No one else can distill that Megaman essence in a remix as well as Koki
You here too ?
@@fuckingking6796 I'm everywhere
Is this ... an early christmas present? Thank you so much Koki!
終わらぬ悪夢だ！！
The end of a marvelous saga
Petition for remix MMSF3 Dread Joker's stage, that's a banger!!! Thanks!
Yo it's been 4 years since I heard another one of your remixes on falling down! Good work😊
It's so wonderful that I can't stop getting goosebumps.
You never cease to amaze me and the others man... I know another remixer who is just as epic as you, and he is absolutely awesome too! So it ain't just you who I find my favorite for mega man remixes! Either way, this one was just as good as your other one! Hoping you'll do one of my personal favorite boss themes sometime in the future... Power field! (AKA Kraft battle theme) That one is just as epic as this and Cannonball!
Amazing track
My second fav of the whole Zero series
Finally! Been waiting for this remix. You always do a fantastic job.
Thank you soooo much for this, your previous remix of this piece was great, and this one is even better
This is wonderful. I love the instruments
Wait isn't this your second time you've remixed this?
Either way, great remix nontheless!
A masterpiece as always
Falling down V.2 epic as always dude
ahhh, my childhood memories are coming out…I can't remember correctly, I should've asked my brother to help me beat Dr.Weil lol
Amazing work as always.
Less than 5 seconds in and this is amazing.
Thank you it's not allot of remix at final fight. So I'm glad that it get some attention.
Koki remix great remix of megaman zero 4.
Thanks for another great remix!
Amazing.....
Final Boss of 2021 be like
I think it is the situational similarity that makes me think of the "Break the world" incident from SEED Destiny everytime I heard this theme. Doesn't help the actual track for those scenes have roughly the same feel to them.
Now, this is an amazing remix!
엄청 좋아하는 곡인데 흐아아앙
OMG YES!
The orange weak point is where Dr. Weil's head is? How did I not notice this before.
Love it👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
this shit slaps so hard, fucking love it
SOO EPIC
This remix is beautifully made! I was wondering what is your policy on using music in the backgrounds of videos?
Hell yeah, love it.
I like this remix the most
まだ死ねん…この程度では死ねんのだァァァァァ!!
*insert Zero quote*
All I keep hearing is Pokémon MD2 Primal Dialga intro, yup... now you can't unhear it!
This feels like it would fit a Battle Network game
Why this made me think in some Sonic 2D final boss fight?
Because Wiel and Eggman are played by the same actor😏
And it also somewhat sounds like the final boss theme from Sonic 3 & Knuckles
while i liked the rock version better this is a very good remix
1:28 1:29
お、終わらぬ悪夢だ！(◎_◎;)
The theme of the scorpion going "lol" "lmao"
Mad man
Ah yes,the Mac daddy of all final boss themes remixed!
Crying. But the first music note
理想だと‥戯言だ！
At the end, the marvrick is just next stage of evolution...
X: you insane sigma!!!!
Wily did evil because he wanted to be a hero to humanity.
Sigma did evil because he was corrupted by a virus.
Lumine did evil because he wanted to advance reploidkind to its ultimate potential.
X's clone did evil because it thought it was X, the ultimate hero.
Elpizo did evil for the sake of his people, the reploids.
Omega did evil because it had no other choice.
Weil, though? He's just a spiteful bastard who's rotten to the core. Evil for the sake of evil. The single most vile villain the series has ever seen.
So, Zero, for the sake of man, reploid, and everything in between, remind yourself:
What are you fighting for?
Zero: l fight for what l believe in !
Not to mention that Weil like putting the string on anyone(for example, Copy X) and pretend that he wont repeat his mistakes.
The only series in the X universe to have a definitive ending with its final game.
Kono...washi ga...bumyou doki ni...HOROBE!!! HORONDESHIMAE!!!
The only thing that fell down was X's place under the spotlight; Shinichi Itakura made Inafking's wish true.
Man the ending for zero hit
Believe in me!
Zerooooo!!!!
叩き斬るまでだっ！！
Fantastic!
But why did you decide to make the second remix and put so much effort into it?
You already had one great remix of this one.
Nunca me ha importado la justicia, y jamás me he referido a mi mismo como héroe. Siempre he luchado por la gente en la que creo. No dudaré... Si un enemigo aparece frente a mi, lo destruiré.
Ciel: Zero! Zero!!
Ciel... Cree en mi...
Ciel: ZEROOOOOO!!
the remaster
Weil fuses with his death laser space station
Gets killed anyway
Pieces get scattered all over the planet
*All according to plan*
Reminds me of the Tower of Heaven, and a Irish jig. But also Cave Story.
Please do some Rockman 11 remixes :3
🎶🎧🐾
Hmm... I think the tin snare doesn't fit and the overall drumkit besides the hi-hat isn't audible enough. Everything else is super cool tho
😳
Ware wa meshia nari ha ha ha
Wrong boss.
🥰
This is were the saga should end, with X and Zero dead and the peace finally restore for humans and reploids
Well yeah
I like the song but i feel like your 1st remix was more epic than this one. This one sounds more Gamboy advancy if that makes sense
F
Wily greatest creation vs Wily wannabe
