Update (Dec 25, 2023): I made a remaster of Zero vs Omega Decisive Battle as well. ruclips.net/video/aTvW8UauRI4/видео.html --------------------- Update (May 26, 2022): First week of the video. Glad you enjoy it. Thanks for the many views in first week! However, it's not a new animation so I don't expect a LOT more of views actually. Also, this is just for people who wanted a remaster, the original animation got millions already. :) I rarely make videos now, I'm very busy and mostly prefer drawing. Perhaps some time again. I don't prioritize these stuffs anymore so don't expect much. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Btw, Maverick Hunter X/Day of Sigma is a reboot not part of the original X timeline but despite that I want it included on this fan re-imagining. The use of Unlimited X potential (shining hands) to Awakened Zero would be a unique and fun idea. It can make the animation distinctive. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's nice that even though I included X6 weapons/armors on an X5 battle people are pretty cool about it. :) Anyway this is just a fan re-imagining of X vs Zero. I was thinking of replacing the X6 weapons/armors into X1-X5 weapons but looking back at the comments, the 2010 animation became nostalgic! If I do that, the changes would be a lot, it could mess with nostalgia. I better keep it that way. However, I may still do an alternate version without the X6 stuffs.
It certainly would be awesome to see a new version with the X1-X3 stuff! Eitherway, it's pretty sweet to see a remastered version of the old one, looking a whole more smooth and polished. ..Doe, if there is one little complaint, it's that the grunting sounds are kinda distracting, but other than that it's pretty good.
Oh, the X6 stuff was always cool; do keep it around! We'll just assume this is its own timeline; I mean, X isn't supposed to cycle through armors mid-fight, anyway.
I don't have the original files anymore so I recreated it. Hope you will enjoy this! :D They let me draw official X1 and MM2+3 arts for vinyl again. :) It's out of stock already but keep an eye just in case. Thanks again to Laced and Capcom. www.lacedrecords.com/products/mega-man-x-limited-edition-deluxe-vinyl www.lacedrecords.com/products/mega-man-2-3-limited-edition-deluxe-double-vinyl
I like the slight new changes you added, I hope you go through with the alternate version with the x1-x5 stuff. Also won't it be funny if this video and the old video become some sort of Mandela effect years down the line
@@zxq2370 if you're on mobile, tap and hold the screen and move your finger after, there's a wave that shows how much which time it was replayed from. On PC, you can just hover the seek bar
I love the update to this part of the animation. It's so much cleaner now and the way X moves is great. This is still my absolute favorite fan related Mega Man thing ever.
"I don't have the original files anymore so I recreated it."- JUST RECREATED IT!? Your work is already amazing but that you've become so comfortable that you can speak so lightly of the work it had to have taken is just incredible! The original has always been one of my favorite tributes of all times and you made it so much better and that's not even taking into account that you just REDID the whole thing. I guess what I'm getting at is that your work is amazing.
I love your old animations to death. The dynamic high-speed action, the musical timing, the integration of story elements and flashbacks and character dialogues... it really enhances a simple sprite battle into a dramatic finale worthy of the best anime!
And now having watched it all, I am stunned that you haven't lost your edge! There are a lot of little differences that really enhance this remastered version. X and Zero's grunts at first felt a little bit distracting, but X's screams really enhanced the power behind his Ultimate Armor attacks! And him using a Giga Attack instead of the punch to the face like in the original, while not as... punchy, it makes the action and his change in strategy clearer. And a lot of the flashing images during the finale and the subtle differences in expressions and acting sell X's missed finishing shot as him being unable to bring himself to "pull the trigger". The effects are crisper (I'll still have nostalgia for the old, simpler ones) and the action is heightened and given more detail! Sir, you have exceeded yourself, truly!
@@wonderland9601 It is canon! If you've seen the short movie "The day of Sigma" included in the PSP Remake of Megaman X1, where at the end Sigma slices Zero and incapacitates him, then proceeding to launch missiles at Abel City, X takes this form out of sheer fury at what Sigma has done, and beats the absolute crap out of him!
2:20 Zero shoots three shots, rather than two. 3:28 Zero's Kuuenzan splits X's shot into two, rather than four. 3:54 The blasts during the Ride Armor segment were redone, going from translucent blue rays to bright masses of energy. 4:00 The screen no longer lights up as X charges his Giga Attack, and the blasts now have yellow cores in addition to the other visual changes. (Thanks, Thunder Knight) 4:55 The fire wave in Burn Dinorex's stage is shown being blocked by the terrain. 5:16 Ultimate Armor X enters with a Nova Strike, rather than punching Zero in the face. 5:28 A barrier forms whenever X's Nova Strike is blocked by Awakened Zero. 5:45 Unlimited Potential X's Buster Shots are blue from the start, instead of being green at first then turning blue near the end. 6:00 Zero appears to use Shin Messenkou here, when in the original, the attack seemed to be Rekkoha. It may have been intended to be Shin Messenkou from the start. Those were all of the major differences I could see, ignoring the HD graphics, new audio, and voice clips.
I must say the rework for the Ride Armor segment was needed, the old one is still good in my opinion but the remade version looks more like an attack from the games. Has a better feel to me, altough I still prefer the original but thats just me.
I LITERALLY WOKE UP SCREAMING They said you cannot improve perfection, yet the god himself has blessed us with this anyway. And it's not a cheap remaster where you ramp up the video quality and FPS. You literally remade the entire animation, you put a lot of effort into this. This was my childhood, I teared up watching. Thank you so much ultimatemaverickx, you're a legend.
I would never claim I inspired this, but I hope my words gave some extra motivation to do it if was already on your mind. thank you for the amazing animations over the years bud, been a fan for over a decade & it's been a pleasure keeping up the entire time. TIME TO WATCH! xD
It’s been so many years but I never noticed X spares Zero at the end, which is how the latter was able to cut off his arm. That was beautiful Maverick 🧡
Wait a minute... after multiple re-watches of this thing I finally noticed something. 5:51 You added Green Biker Dude to the flashback images, that wasn't in the original, oh my god. You got me with that one, you sly fox.
It does fit X's character. He cherishes life, so even someone like Green Biker Dude, who he probably doesn't even know his actual name, would matter to him as a friend.
Si, estuvo Magnífico bro😎 aunque, mejor aquí le hubiera puesto la Canción "ROCKMAN HOLIC - X BUSTER" Saludos bro espero que pronto hagas un video de Mega Man NT Warrior fue un genial animé de mi infancia🥺.
@@Yokai_YuriZero is also built to be able to adapt, he just doesn't need any major improvements because of innate perfection. Hence why his tools apply as side effects to his abilities (Z-Saber elements) and not dominant body piece upgrades like X. But canonically, yes, Zero acknowledges that X can be stronger, it's just his emotions that hinder him.
I’ve lost count how many times I’ve watched and rewatched these original decisive battles over the years. What a crashing wave of nostalgia. Good stuff!
I don't think you understand how much you mean to the Megaman community. Long after the games came out, you still continued to make great content that we came back to watch again and again. As you can tell from your view count, us Megaman fans are still here. Thank you for your videos and love for Megaman. Rock on.
5:44 Is still the most hypest moment for me. The spirit fingers, flashing images of everyone from X's life, and ending it with an image of Dr Light! Goodness gracious!
It gets to me too, in a way that almost makes me tear up for some reason. I think it may just be how the music crescendos for that moment, combined with the imagery.
@@shadowbrain4814 I tears ups, as wells. The musix + the story of the images that we X fans have in our hearts, it's like as you said: It truly crescendos in musix / visuals / feel's at all once, it become's unbearable. in a positive way's
I used to come back to the original, to verify that in fact, it still was one of the best videos of the internet. AND YOU MADE IT BETTER Such a love letter to the x series, and such a display of the awesomeness this saga creates. I love it. And don't worry about using x6 stuff. Makes it even more of a compilation of all the cool stuff, and it's not hard to imagine a slightly different timeline when things happened like this.
When I first found this animation in its original form… I remember being in the thick of college, long after playing so many Mega Man, X, and Zero games, and joining the long wait for X9 to happen… and I loved it so much that I’ve rewatched many times and for many years on top of that too! And here we are now, over 10 years since those days, an HD remaster… Thank you SO much for this. 😊💙❤️
No way, a remaster!? The legend is still alive... This is honestly too good to be true.~ I wonder if it would be possible to remaster Megaman Zero 3 Zero Vs. Omega battle? That would be fantastic!~
Thank you for taking the time to redo this in HD. This isn't anything id ever expected, or even asked for, but i am still happy you made it. The next biggest thing I'm looking forward to is an HD version of Zero vs Omega. While not likely to happen, I can still hold out hope. I have more hope of this remake happening than X9 or ZX 3.
Que nostalgia eu senti com esse video. Otimo Remaster!! Me lembrou de quado tinha 4 anos vendo o video original. Obrigada por fazer minha infancia feliz, UltimateMaverickX :)
This brought back so much nostalgia. I remember rewatching the original a couple of times over the years because it was so cool. However, this remaster is truly incredible. From the music, the animations and even voices for both X and Zero. Thank you for bringing back some wonderful memories, you did amazing.
The whole last leg of the fight was phenomenal but 5:44 was absolute perfection and goes so hard (the rest of the fight was good too but that conclusion was another level). So glad RUclips recommended it to me 10/10 would get newgrounds flash animation nostalgia again One thing i absolutely loved is that even though most of it was dodging and countering you sprinkled in real hits throughout making the whole thing feel a lot more genuine
Pido disculpas por escribir en español pero mi ingles no es muy bueno. Vi este video hace mucho tiempo por allá en el 2013 y la verdad es que desde esa fecha que aún lo tengo guardado y sigo viéndolo a diario, significa un montón que lo hayas podido remasterizar ya que es como si volviera a mi infancia. Hoy con 21 años te quiero agradecer de todo corazón que lo hayas hecho, puesto que la saga de megaman fue uno de los mejores recuerdos de mi infancia. thank u so much
This is what I considered to be a timeless masterpiece. The 60 fps, the added sound effects and voice clips and smoother animation only makes this a damn joy to watch. I remember watching the original all these years ago and watching this newer updated version. I literately stopped everything I was doing and had to watch it. This is just masterpiece!
You've surpassed yourself a lot! This is straight fire! The special effects like the heatwave and water are godly. xD The original and your Zero vs Omega are two videos I always came back to, they are really intense and emotional. Thank you so much for the awesome fights! If you ever remake another one, that Zero vs Omega already hits hard I can't even imagine how gorgeous it would look with your current level of talent.
I tend to get my hopes up for things way too early, but as soon as I saw this HD remaster, I thought of the Zero vs. Omega Zero video. It definitely hits incredibly hard, that's for sure. Like you, this video and Z. vs. OZ are really incredible to me and I'm loving this remaster!
Childhood moment. Insane!!!! Thank you for the remaster. This is such a great gift! Fresh memories of one of my favorite series the best moments, simple times. Thank you so much!
Unironically, not joking in the slightest, you could probably teach an entire class on how this animation is such a damn perfect fight scene. How it starts off slow, restrained, but then begins ratcheting up the intensity and dynamism of the fight (starts very gamelike, both characters are on a 2D plane and jumping around and shooting, then all of a sudden boom! The floor is getting banged up, and then blam! We're doing stuff in 3D space now! And so on), how it keeps varying up the tactics used by the characters and changing the arena, how it inserts little character moments to remind us of who these people are and what their relationship is, and then, as we approach the end of the fight, things start becoming less dynamic and more restrained, selling to us that these characters are starting to run out of steam, and yet ratcheting up the intensity because we can tell it's going to end soon, followed by a final push as both characters throw everything they have left at each other, X even using his bare hands, and then the missed killshot from X, followed by the final shot, ending the fight in a draw. Absolutely masterful work, on every level.
Whoa... Sends chill down my spine. I love the new effects, it's indeed a great remaster! Congrats on making one of the most legendary Megaman X videos ever. This gives me hope for the future. I'm glad there are people like you out there.
The level of nostalgia that this brings me is unreal. Brought a literal tear to my eye. Having watched the original version at least 100 times, this was an amazing experience to watch. Thank you so much!
I never saw the original but a friend showed me this today and I will state that even though I'm more of a Classic series fan rather than an X fan (though I do know some of X's lore), I still felt the nostalgia feels while seeing this. Like 5:20 with the W symbol in the background as the fight continues and when Light's face flashes as X's deflects Zero's attack at 5:52 and the background of 6:01 just emphasized that this is not only a decisive battle between X and Zero but also the final battle between Light and Wily that started all the way back in the Classic series. And it gave me chills just thinking how even after Dr. Light and even Classic series Megaman isn't physically around anymore, that eventually Wily would be stopped for the final time and conclude the events that were set into motion hundreds of years ago.
Veía esto cuando tenía 11 años y recién habían puesto Internet en mi casa, teníamos una computadora vieja y un Internet tan lento que este video tardaba como 20 minutos en cargar completamente, pero qué recuerdos, lo veo después de tantos años y me sigue emocionando como la primera vez, gracias por subir esto.
Concuerdo esto es lo mas épico que veré en mucho tiempo cuando vi la primera parte dije :genial se ve mucho mejor los sprites, cuando llegue a la Ride armor estaba con la boca abierta y en la parte final directamente se pusieron todos los pelos de punta de verdad ultimatemaverickx es el Rey de las animaciones de Megaman
good to know that even after ten years, umx still hasn't lost his touch at all. still the best sprite battle of all time. thank you so much for everything you have done!
My childhood returns, and it simply is way too amazing for me to see it once again like that, man, it's good to see it now in such a important moment of my life, to help me push forward, thanks for this video from the deepest depths of my heart!
Man. Isn't it strange that I was looking for this a day after you released this remaster? Guess it was fate then. Amazing job on completely rebuilding it!
“You were the chosen one. You were supposed to destroy the virus, not join it. To bring balance to the reploids, not leave them in darkness” “I hate you!!!”
I just want to say ultimatemaverickx, I think that you did an absolutely phenomenal job in choreographing this fight to the death between X and Zero. Using all of X's secret unlockable armors and adapted weapons and all of Zero's acquired techniques to show just how nearly evenly matched they were as they counter and exchange blows back and forth was so awesome and thrilling to watch. I love that last little detail that you added to the end of the fight where X, having tapped into his hidden true potential as Zero becomes infected by his own virus, grabs and has a moment to fatally shoot Zero but, due to the memories that they have shared together and because of the strength of their past friendship, shoots away from Zero at the last second which allows Zero the chance to cut off one of X's hands before X in turn shoots Zero back non - fatally, before both shoot the other simultaneously, finishing each other off. Basically, I love how you implied that X, despite how difficult it would be for him to do, would eventually win the fight but would ultimately be completely hampered from finishing Zero off because of his hesitation to kill anyone, especially his dearest friend and ally. Job very well done ultimatemaverickx in portraying a completely realistic fight to the way that an actual battle would go down between these two amazing and iconic video game characters. By the way, Mega Man X 4 is one of my all time favorite video games, despite the god-awful English dub. lol At least Lucas Gilbertson, the guy who officially has most recently voiced Zero in the latest Mega Man X video games, has an unofficial redub of the entire death of Iris cutscene, the cutscene between Zero and Colonel, and the fight between Zero and Sigma and they totally redeem these scenes in terms of acting quality and should have been the official English dub in the first place.
I remember watching this all the way back in middle school over ten years ago, I’m now becoming a junior in college, it’s amazing how time flies, but what’s even more amazing is how much you’ve improved your animations, even back then your videos hold up well today that speaks volumes about your passion and creativity, thank you for getting me into Megaman Maverick!
Man, it's so sick that sprite based animations are coming back as of late, I remember checking RUclips and NewGrounds all the time for this, Super Mario Bros Z and Sonic Final Fantasy, it was so freaking cool to watch your favorite characters crossover and duke it out, heh, back when everyone used to go by their OCs lol, people would even make their own sprites and stuff I really miss how shamelessly creative the internet used to be in the 2000's, kids had that weird mix of liking somewhat family friendly Videogame/Anime characters while being super edgy about it
Absolutely mad to see this in the feed, biggest bless my dude 🙏 Watched the old one not too long ago becasue of how hype it is, this is an absolute treat ^^ Can definitely say the Ultimate Armor sequence was perfected for sure.
Definitivamente se nota el cambio de calidad y todos los detalles añadidos en la parte final de la batalla simplemente los gritos de x, el añadir los campos de fuerza y todo eso le dió un plus Ultra ✨
Thank you for starting an obsession that was there for me in the best times of my life, if it wasnt for the original upload and the music I would’ve never choose to be a musician. Whenever im at my lowest this tune reminds me to be like X a being with unlimited potential.
I didn't expect a big ol' slap of nostalgia and happiness this morning. Thanks, man. (Also the X6 stuff honestly looks and feels super cool. Definitely enhances the overall quality.)
Oh. My. God. You KILLED it on this remaster!! The upgrade on the special effects as well as some subtle choreography changes to make things a bit more clear bring this from a classic to a masterpiece!
I remember telling all of my friends about these really cool sprite fights back when I was in HS. Your animations imprinted the concept of music sync and cinematic fights that I draw from this and the Omega Zero fight when I write my own fight scenes. Good job man.
-Decided to remaster it -Lost the original files -Did it anyways as if remaking it from scratch was nothing, despite scene like 4:02 could easily take up weeks of work -refuse to elaborate and leaves Srsly, restarting a project from ground ZERO and put in all those Xtra efforts w/o making a big deal out of it is such a MEGA chad move, what a SIGMA male(or female, or reploid if you identify as one). You ROCK
Amigo... está increíble, de verdad, ¡Increibleeeee! El remasterizado fue hecho con mucho cuidado, le pusiste mucho cariño y pasión al trabajo que hiciste, este remasterizado está muy por encima en calidad que el anterior.
5:13 Personally I preferred the punch. The punch had way more impact and you could see Zero actually being knocked back like that because of it. Not to mention it's a parallel to when Sigma punched Zero when he had the virus (in the X4 cutscenes), so X would be activating his final stage in the fight and it signifies that X is beginning to use his hidden power (Unlimited Potential). To me, the punch will always be more iconic. I don't agree with the change, but I still love the animation so much.
It doesn't make sense at all, the punch is.. more dramatic but if you think about it, and the reflexes that Zero has, probably he would chop off his arm with another swing, is a thing that people was talking about a lot in the old animation, Nova strike makes a lil more sense because is a thing that Zero couldn't evade or counter by his reflexes
@@inubashiri6815 did you notice the fakeout before hand as X took Zero by surprise? it's very logical in my opinion, I don't see it illogical and I explained why thematically the punch is better, so I'm still siding with the punch.
I remember coming here, 10 years ago and watching it for the first time. I've always loved the series, so I was always thirst for content... I used to come back here each year and rewatch this, and now, seeing this remake... I can't put into words exactly how I feel, I can just thank you, UMX. You're as great as always. I love this community!
This is one of the best animations I've ever seen, it's incredible to see that even with all the time that had happen the creator still works on this amazing stuff.
Dude.. Seeing this just felt so unreal.. It reminded me of my past where I was obsessed with anything Mega Man related as a kid.. I found the older animation of X vs Zero when I searched up Mega Man X on RUclips using an iPad my parents got for me, and my brother, and boy let me say I thought this was the best thing in the world.. It really made me love and appreciate the Mega Man games as a kid, I didn't know much about the lore but I was familiar with X-5 enough to know what was going on. The suspense of who was gonna win was killing me! I always thought it was gonna be X, because the hero always prevails but when I saw that jaw dropping draw, I was in awe! I even remember this one time me and my brother were taken to the dollar store.. There were these colorful bubble wands that looked like light sabers that were for sale. Both me and my bro got one each, one green, one blue. We came back to our house to play fight with the swords, thinking they were Zero's Sabers, as I grabbed my iPad and started playing this exact video while we had fun. Years later come to now, where all of this stuff is happening, but then the remastered video comes out.. It was as amazing as I remembered the original, if not even BETTER.. I noticed the new sound effects that X and Zero did when they were fighting, jumping, leaping, dashing, it was all so SO COOL!!! But the one major thing that made me gasp as I remembered the old version of the video was when X punches Zero in the head activating Awakened Zero. Once I realized X did a Nova Strike to him, it made me speechless.. BUT ALSO REALLY EXCITED! 5:15 I was amazed from all of the improvements and visual touches made from the remastered.. And I would like to say thank you. Thank you for creating such a beautiful masterpiece, and bringing back the nostalgia and joy that me and many others have endured from this alone..
We thought heroes would prevail but that's what made the ending of the original Mega Man even better. Mega Man's last fight was him against Zero. Zero was like a robot far ahead of their time, so much so Mega Man couldn't even land a hit on him. And not only that, Zero just stands there waiting for Megaman to power up and shoot his best shot only to deflect it with his own hands. One of the most unique boss fights when it come to enemy AI's behavior as well. Mega Man and barely survived only because Zero was still a prototype and Wily hasn't finished it. So it kinda stopped functioning. Ever since I learned this, I found the Mega Man X series to be way more epic that it ever was before.
LET'S GOOO! This video meant so much to me as a MMX fan, so seeing this masterpiece get remade brings me to a level of happiness I haven't felt in so long as a fanboy lol. Great job man!
I totally understand if you dont come back to this but thank you seriously you dont understand how much this give me chills like genuinely actually I feel tears welling up from the sheer excitement If I was an authority on the matter I would say you're the most creative megaman fan out there this was a blessing
Oh man why did I wait this long to rewatch this masterpiece? 100/10 Viewing the part with the ride armor battle was still as mind blowing as it was back then. Thanks for the awesome work!
All these years rewatching the original was worth it, I almost shed a tear watching this version because of how perfect it is...Thanks for letting me relive my childhood once more
It's so smooth now! The change from the run up and punch in the face for the transition to Awakened Zero to a Giga Attack was unexpected but the Giga Attack Barrage you modified made that scene clearer as well. The addition of the shields popping up during attacks that were meant to look ineffective also helped in that regard too. Congrats on being chosen to make the art for the vinyls! Your art for the Ace Attorney anniversary was great as well!
Es increíble como se puede mejorar algo que ya es perfecto, aún recuerdo cuando la ví de niño siendo lo más épico que vi y revivir ese sentimiento es indescriptible, ¡Sigue así!
Years (decades?) later and this is still so awesome. The original was a formative piece of my childhood, and yep, this still gives me chills all right.
I can't believe I stumbled across this absolute legend right before I went to bed, I watched the original just the night before and was shaking with pure hype. This is actually making me cry a little from how epic the remaster is, I feel energized to the core and I can't stop watching this! Definitely showing my friends this! Keep up the awesome work and stay well! That goes for you too comment section :)
Holy shit man i remember thinking this was the greatest thing in the world when I was little on my tablet and now years later it’s as beautiful as I remember and tears were shed
Es como viajar al pasado, ésto es hermoso en todos los aspectos y aunque el original siempre será el original, ésta reinvención la adoro con toda mi alma. It's like traveling to the past, this is beautiful in all aspects and although the original will always be the original, I adore this reinvention with all my soul.
Literal one of the first 10 videos I watched on my grandma's Toshiba laptop. It was an experience like no other. I played it on repeat for months. Thank you for bringing back a part of me
I honestly cried while watching this, it was beautifully done and outdone the original video. Thank you for the nostalgic feels and giving me something to smile about for today!!
You've managed to capture the very essence of horrendous dialogues in Mega Man. Also I love the title "Decisive battle 2", as if the first one wasn't decisive.
Update (Dec 25, 2023): I made a remaster of Zero vs Omega Decisive Battle as well.

---------------------
Update (May 26, 2022): First week of the video. Glad you enjoy it. Thanks for the many views in first week! However, it's not a new animation so I don't expect a LOT more of views actually. Also, this is just for people who wanted a remaster, the original animation got millions already. :) I rarely make videos now, I'm very busy and mostly prefer drawing. Perhaps some time again. I don't prioritize these stuffs anymore so don't expect much.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Btw, Maverick Hunter X/Day of Sigma is a reboot not part of the original X timeline but despite that I want it included on this fan re-imagining. The use of Unlimited X potential (shining hands) to Awakened Zero would be a unique and fun idea. It can make the animation distinctive.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's nice that even though I included X6 weapons/armors on an X5 battle people are pretty cool about it. :) Anyway this is just a fan re-imagining of X vs Zero. I was thinking of replacing the X6 weapons/armors into X1-X5 weapons but looking back at the comments, the 2010 animation became nostalgic! If I do that, the changes would be a lot, it could mess with nostalgia. I better keep it that way. However, I may still do an alternate version without the X6 stuffs.
You're back!!!😍
Any new games coming soon?
Good to see you again on RUclips this video is greatly appreciated
It certainly would be awesome to see a new version with the X1-X3 stuff! Eitherway, it's pretty sweet to see a remastered version of the old one, looking a whole more smooth and polished.
..Doe, if there is one little complaint, it's that the grunting sounds are kinda distracting, but other than that it's pretty good.
I didn't even notice lol
Oh, the X6 stuff was always cool; do keep it around! We'll just assume this is its own timeline; I mean, X isn't supposed to cycle through armors mid-fight, anyway.
I don't have the original files anymore so I recreated it. Hope you will enjoy this! :D
They let me draw official X1 and MM2+3 arts for vinyl again. :) It's out of stock already but keep an eye just in case. Thanks again to Laced and Capcom.

Respect, my friend. Undying respect
I like the slight new changes you added, I hope you go through with the alternate version with the x1-x5 stuff.
Also won't it be funny if this video and the old video become some sort of Mandela effect years down the line
based
HOLY FUCK! That's incredible!
OMG i'm so happy that you used some of the archives that i send to u
I love how the animation is
80% dodging and deflecting each other’s attacks
10% dialogue
6% screaming
4% actually destroying eachother
They die if they tap spikes, naturally both would be extremely good at avoiding damage altogether.
The first one was 80% X getting destroyed then 10% him winning after creating an opening from getting one lucky hit in.
@@Superluigi881 Lucky? You mean that Soul Body followed by a freakin' NOVA STRIKE didn't fool the pants off of Zero!?
Replace the 80% in the beginning with jumping
@@JuukaRock Also being machines programmed to fight other machines, which kinda means the TAS of the games is closer to canon than any human player.
The Nova Strike buzzsaw complete with X’s howl of sheer fury is fucking _immaculate._
I was about to give a like, but the perfect number made me rethink.
Seriously. I legit got chubby 😅🤣
@@Faltzerbeast90 hi! what does this mean
@@SomeDemoMain lol got turned on haha
I don't feel like it was fury in that. I think it was a last desperate attempt of determination to get through to his best friend.
I just love how you can see the most replayed moments now and everyone agrees 5:44 is just perfection.
Yes this part is mastet peicr
@@zxq2370 if you're on mobile, tap and hold the screen and move your finger after, there's a wave that shows how much which time it was replayed from. On PC, you can just hover the seek bar
It's a pice of art
I love the update to this part of the animation. It's so much cleaner now and the way X moves is great. This is still my absolute favorite fan related Mega Man thing ever.
It really is. Both the music and the fight climax, with the rapidly flashing imagery in the background adding to the emotional stakes. It's great.
"I don't have the original files anymore so I recreated it."-
JUST RECREATED IT!? Your work is already amazing but that you've become so comfortable that you can speak so lightly of the work it had to have taken is just incredible! The original has always been one of my favorite tributes of all times and you made it so much better and that's not even taking into account that you just REDID the whole thing. I guess what I'm getting at is that your work is amazing.
I love your old animations to death. The dynamic high-speed action, the musical timing, the integration of story elements and flashbacks and character dialogues... it really enhances a simple sprite battle into a dramatic finale worthy of the best anime!
And now having watched it all, I am stunned that you haven't lost your edge!
There are a lot of little differences that really enhance this remastered version. X and Zero's grunts at first felt a little bit distracting, but X's screams really enhanced the power behind his Ultimate Armor attacks! And him using a Giga Attack instead of the punch to the face like in the original, while not as... punchy, it makes the action and his change in strategy clearer. And a lot of the flashing images during the finale and the subtle differences in expressions and acting sell X's missed finishing shot as him being unable to bring himself to "pull the trigger". The effects are crisper (I'll still have nostalgia for the old, simpler ones) and the action is heightened and given more detail! Sir, you have exceeded yourself, truly!
Jesus Christ.
This animation, the coolest thing on Earth.
That was absurdly unexpected but a fantastic surprise.
5:45 so much power behind those strikes, absolutely beautiful. Love X screaming Zero's name too
I wonder what is this form megaman took is canon or non-canon?
@@wonderland9601 It is canon! If you've seen the short movie "The day of Sigma" included in the PSP Remake of Megaman X1, where at the end Sigma slices Zero and incapacitates him, then proceeding to launch missiles at Abel City, X takes this form out of sheer fury at what Sigma has done, and beats the absolute crap out of him!
A last ditch effort to get to your friend. Showing for a robot X is pretty human.
@@gamechanger8908 And in that same irony, he hesitated to pull the trigger, like the kind robot X is.
@@karlhnedkovsky5214el nombre de esa forma es: X potencial ilimitado
2:20 Zero shoots three shots, rather than two.
3:28 Zero's Kuuenzan splits X's shot into two, rather than four.
3:54 The blasts during the Ride Armor segment were redone, going from translucent blue rays to bright masses of energy.
4:00 The screen no longer lights up as X charges his Giga Attack, and the blasts now have yellow cores in addition to the other visual changes. (Thanks, Thunder Knight)
4:55 The fire wave in Burn Dinorex's stage is shown being blocked by the terrain.
5:16 Ultimate Armor X enters with a Nova Strike, rather than punching Zero in the face.
5:28 A barrier forms whenever X's Nova Strike is blocked by Awakened Zero.
5:45 Unlimited Potential X's Buster Shots are blue from the start, instead of being green at first then turning blue near the end.
6:00 Zero appears to use Shin Messenkou here, when in the original, the attack seemed to be Rekkoha. It may have been intended to be Shin Messenkou from the start.
Those were all of the major differences I could see, ignoring the HD graphics, new audio, and voice clips.
I must say the rework for the Ride Armor segment was needed, the old one is still good in my opinion but the remade version looks more like an attack from the games.
Has a better feel to me, altough I still prefer the original but thats just me.
Surprised you didn't mention that X now screams while he attacks zero as he is in his "limitless potential" state.
There is how falcon armor X's giga attack now has yellow cores
5:53 X shoots the Shingetsurin back at Zero rather than redirect it.
what is the technique where x hands glow in last part
11 Years later, and you've still got it. This put a big silly smile on my face, thank you
I LITERALLY WOKE UP SCREAMING
They said you cannot improve perfection, yet the god himself has blessed us with this anyway. And it's not a cheap remaster where you ramp up the video quality and FPS. You literally remade the entire animation, you put a lot of effort into this.
This was my childhood, I teared up watching. Thank you so much ultimatemaverickx, you're a legend.
I would never claim I inspired this, but I hope my words gave some extra motivation to do it if was already on your mind. thank you for the amazing animations over the years bud, been a fan for over a decade & it's been a pleasure keeping up the entire time. TIME TO WATCH! xD
eyo he is here pog
Yep, I remember the comment about a re in hd how funny
Your words did gave extra motivation. :)
Thank you btw! :)
ITS NICK NITRO!!!!
:0
It’s been so many years but I never noticed X spares Zero at the end, which is how the latter was able to cut off his arm.
That was beautiful Maverick 🧡
Wait a minute... after multiple re-watches of this thing I finally noticed something.
5:51 You added Green Biker Dude to the flashback images, that wasn't in the original, oh my god. You got me with that one, you sly fox.
Nice cameo. 😆
It does fit X's character. He cherishes life, so even someone like Green Biker Dude, who he probably doesn't even know his actual name, would matter to him as a friend.
Extraordinario remake.
Si, estuvo Magnífico bro😎 aunque, mejor aquí le hubiera puesto la Canción "ROCKMAN HOLIC - X BUSTER"
Saludos bro espero que pronto hagas un video de Mega Man NT Warrior fue un genial animé de mi infancia🥺.
comentario de la gente del Ñ
Little template O:
Si y tan extraordinario de hacerlo desde zero. Simplemente magnífico.
Uff YO HE VISTO ESTO DESDE QUE TENGO 5 HAN PASADO 13 AÑOS Y AHORA VEO SOY FELIZ
It's been literally over half a decade, and the small moment of X besting and sparing Zero still hits.
Especially with X calling out to Zero!
6:03
“X, you can't dare to fight me. Your big heart. That is your kindness and your weakness.”
-Zero
X is stronger than Zero. He was made to have unlimited potential, grow as the fight goes.
@@Yokai_YuriZero is also built to be able to adapt, he just doesn't need any major improvements because of innate perfection. Hence why his tools apply as side effects to his abilities (Z-Saber elements) and not dominant body piece upgrades like X. But canonically, yes, Zero acknowledges that X can be stronger, it's just his emotions that hinder him.
@@Yokai_YuriYeah it seems like Zero has more raw power, but X has more potential
I’ve lost count how many times I’ve watched and rewatched these original decisive battles over the years. What a crashing wave of nostalgia. Good stuff!
I don't think you understand how much you mean to the Megaman community.
Long after the games came out, you still continued to make great content that we came back to watch again and again.
As you can tell from your view count, us Megaman fans are still here. Thank you for your videos and love for Megaman. Rock on.
5:44 Is still the most hypest moment for me. The spirit fingers, flashing images of everyone from X's life, and ending it with an image of Dr Light! Goodness gracious!
omg yes! I still get chills
It gets to me too, in a way that almost makes me tear up for some reason. I think it may just be how the music crescendos for that moment, combined with the imagery.
@@shadowbrain4814 I tears ups, as wells. The musix + the story of the images that we X fans have in our hearts, it's like as you said: It truly crescendos in musix / visuals / feel's at all once, it become's unbearable. in a positive way's
It's been so long since the original, this brings back some good memories of a remastered nostalgia, thank you for this.
I used to come back to the original, to verify that in fact, it still was one of the best videos of the internet.
AND YOU MADE IT BETTER
Such a love letter to the x series, and such a display of the awesomeness this saga creates. I love it.
And don't worry about using x6 stuff. Makes it even more of a compilation of all the cool stuff, and it's not hard to imagine a slightly different timeline when things happened like this.
When I first found this animation in its original form… I remember being in the thick of college, long after playing so many Mega Man, X, and Zero games, and joining the long wait for X9 to happen… and I loved it so much that I’ve rewatched many times and for many years on top of that too!
And here we are now, over 10 years since those days, an HD remaster… Thank you SO much for this. 😊💙❤️
The part with X screaming Zero's name trying to get him to snap out of it before he has to put him down. Purely heart breaking
5:45 this moment. Right here. Still gives me chills, every time.
Megaman x pullin a ultra instinct
ZER-- OOOOOOOOOoooooo!!!
Directo en la nostalgia, eres grande UltimateMaverickX, cuando inicie en esta saga tu video era como una especie de anime para mi, gracias :)
¡Somos el mejor famdon de videojuegos en internet :D!
Que obra de arte está animaciooooon
No way, a remaster!? The legend is still alive...
This is honestly too good to be true.~
I wonder if it would be possible to remaster Megaman Zero 3 Zero Vs. Omega battle? That would be fantastic!~
Thats definitely the best IMO, that would be a blast, lets hope for it 🤟🤟🤟
That video is a masterpiece
Same!
I hope it gets the remaster it deserves!
Nostalgia rushing through my veins as I remember my childhood playing Megaman X on my PSP
Now I know a veteran Terraria Calamity player has such childhood
you're here too?
Facts
5:50 used to give me chills back in the day. 12 years later and it still does it. Really enjoyed the new effects.
Thank you for taking the time to redo this in HD. This isn't anything id ever expected, or even asked for, but i am still happy you made it.
The next biggest thing I'm looking forward to is an HD version of Zero vs Omega. While not likely to happen, I can still hold out hope. I have more hope of this remake happening than X9 or ZX 3.
Que nostalgia eu senti com esse video.
Otimo Remaster!!
Me lembrou de quado tinha 4 anos vendo o video original.
Obrigada por fazer minha infancia feliz, UltimateMaverickX :)
This brought back so much nostalgia. I remember rewatching the original a couple of times over the years because it was so cool. However, this remaster is truly incredible. From the music, the animations and even voices for both X and Zero. Thank you for bringing back some wonderful memories, you did amazing.
This is amazing. The additional affects and sounds makes this so much more intense. What a great Remake!
The whole last leg of the fight was phenomenal but 5:44 was absolute perfection and goes so hard (the rest of the fight was good too but that conclusion was another level). So glad RUclips recommended it to me 10/10 would get newgrounds flash animation nostalgia again
One thing i absolutely loved is that even though most of it was dodging and countering you sprinkled in real hits throughout making the whole thing feel a lot more genuine
Pido disculpas por escribir en español pero mi ingles no es muy bueno. Vi este video hace mucho tiempo por allá en el 2013 y la verdad es que desde esa fecha que aún lo tengo guardado y sigo viéndolo a diario, significa un montón que lo hayas podido remasterizar ya que es como si volviera a mi infancia. Hoy con 21 años te quiero agradecer de todo corazón que lo hayas hecho, puesto que la saga de megaman fue uno de los mejores recuerdos de mi infancia. thank u so much
¡Qué grande! A mí también me trajo muchos recuerdos :)
PD: Yo también tengo 21 años ajsjajs, qué casualidad
me tope con esta animación como por 2015,esto es nostalgia me encanto👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
No te preocupes, también buscaba a gente que hable español, ya que mi inglés es horrible
This is what I considered to be a timeless masterpiece. The 60 fps, the added sound effects and voice clips and smoother animation only makes this a damn joy to watch. I remember watching the original all these years ago and watching this newer updated version. I literately stopped everything I was doing and had to watch it.
This is just masterpiece!
You've surpassed yourself a lot! This is straight fire! The special effects like the heatwave and water are godly. xD
The original and your Zero vs Omega are two videos I always came back to, they are really intense and emotional. Thank you so much for the awesome fights! If you ever remake another one, that Zero vs Omega already hits hard I can't even imagine how gorgeous it would look with your current level of talent.
I tend to get my hopes up for things way too early, but as soon as I saw this HD remaster, I thought of the Zero vs. Omega Zero video. It definitely hits incredibly hard, that's for sure. Like you, this video and Z. vs. OZ are really incredible to me and I'm loving this remaster!
Childhood moment. Insane!!!!
Thank you for the remaster. This is such a great gift!
Fresh memories of one of my favorite series the best moments, simple times. Thank you so much!
5:50
This moment right here is one of the main reasons I fell in love with the original.
Seeing it remastered in HD nearly made me cry.
Unironically, not joking in the slightest, you could probably teach an entire class on how this animation is such a damn perfect fight scene. How it starts off slow, restrained, but then begins ratcheting up the intensity and dynamism of the fight (starts very gamelike, both characters are on a 2D plane and jumping around and shooting, then all of a sudden boom! The floor is getting banged up, and then blam! We're doing stuff in 3D space now! And so on), how it keeps varying up the tactics used by the characters and changing the arena, how it inserts little character moments to remind us of who these people are and what their relationship is, and then, as we approach the end of the fight, things start becoming less dynamic and more restrained, selling to us that these characters are starting to run out of steam, and yet ratcheting up the intensity because we can tell it's going to end soon, followed by a final push as both characters throw everything they have left at each other, X even using his bare hands, and then the missed killshot from X, followed by the final shot, ending the fight in a draw. Absolutely masterful work, on every level.
Whoa... Sends chill down my spine. I love the new effects, it's indeed a great remaster! Congrats on making one of the most legendary Megaman X videos ever. This gives me hope for the future. I'm glad there are people like you out there.
The level of nostalgia that this brings me is unreal. Brought a literal tear to my eye. Having watched the original version at least 100 times, this was an amazing experience to watch. Thank you so much!
This is more than a remaster. this is a work of art.
Agree!
I never saw the original but a friend showed me this today and I will state that even though I'm more of a Classic series fan rather than an X fan (though I do know some of X's lore), I still felt the nostalgia feels while seeing this. Like 5:20 with the W symbol in the background as the fight continues and when Light's face flashes as X's deflects Zero's attack at 5:52 and the background of 6:01 just emphasized that this is not only a decisive battle between X and Zero but also the final battle between Light and Wily that started all the way back in the Classic series. And it gave me chills just thinking how even after Dr. Light and even Classic series Megaman isn't physically around anymore, that eventually Wily would be stopped for the final time and conclude the events that were set into motion hundreds of years ago.
Veía esto cuando tenía 11 años y recién habían puesto Internet en mi casa, teníamos una computadora vieja y un Internet tan lento que este video tardaba como 20 minutos en cargar completamente, pero qué recuerdos, lo veo después de tantos años y me sigue emocionando como la primera vez, gracias por subir esto.
I couldn't believe it when I saw it! I literally screamed my head off. Everything looks so clean! This is truly amazing work! Nothing can top it!
Esto es tan hermoso y mágico a la vez, llore de la emoción al ver y recordarlo cuando se hizo por primera vez, me palpita el corazón a mil... :)
a mi se me paro el corazón y me gustaron todos los cambios, tanto visual como en algunas partes y espero que vuelva a subir videos como estos de nuevo
Estamos igual, me dió un golpe de nostalgia como si fuera la primera vez que veía esa pelea, en verdad, que hermoso
@@cristopheralberto5563 me sentí igual XD
Esto es uno de los momentos más hermosos de mi vida, después de 10 años puedo volver a ver la mejor pelea que eh visto en mi vida!!!!!
X2 amigo, y lo mejor es que toda la espera si valió la pena :')
De verdad concuerdo con ustes.
Gracias ultimatemaverickx
de verdad has hecho un excelente trabajo como siempre
Concuerdo esto es lo mas épico que veré en mucho tiempo cuando vi la primera parte dije :genial se ve mucho mejor los sprites, cuando llegue a la Ride armor estaba con la boca abierta y en la parte final directamente se pusieron todos los pelos de punta de verdad ultimatemaverickx es el Rey de las animaciones de Megaman
@@gabrielnavarro3823 creo que se merece el titulo de el mejor fan de la saga x y muy merecido
Si
Now this is an upgrade!
New sprites, actual voice lines, while still keeping the spirit of the original.
Props to you!
I was 20 when i played x series and now I'm 49 ....so many memories thank you
So nostalgic... this was epic, you are epic, I cannot find more words to describe what I'm feeling and thinking
good to know that even after ten years, umx still hasn't lost his touch at all. still the best sprite battle of all time. thank you so much for everything you have done!
2:28 Fun Fact: this move is an instant kill used IF you don't beat Awakened Zero in 2 minutes, just some more motivation to get the good ending.
This is a crazy sequel! Loved the perspective on the fight amazing work#
You're the reason I enjoyed living my childhood, thankyou so much!
Glad I saw this again. Time flies so fast. Thank you 👍👍
My childhood returns, and it simply is way too amazing for me to see it once again like that, man, it's good to see it now in such a important moment of my life, to help me push forward, thanks for this video from the deepest depths of my heart!
This was cool 11 years ago, and it;s still cool now.
Well done.
2010年の動画で感動して、さらにまた感動させるとかマジで神！！
I remember watching this back in the previous year you sir have just perfected it further with voice fights and better quality well done.
Man. Isn't it strange that I was looking for this a day after you released this remaster? Guess it was fate then.
Amazing job on completely rebuilding it!
X: “Only a Maverick deals in absolutes. I will do what I must.”
Zero: “You will try.”
“You were the chosen one. You were supposed to destroy the virus, not join it. To bring balance to the reploids, not leave them in darkness”
“I hate you!!!”
As a huge fan of the original, this is an _amazing_ recreation and it's clear how much better your skillset is these days. Incredible work!
I just want to say ultimatemaverickx, I think that you did an absolutely phenomenal job in choreographing this fight to the death between X and Zero. Using all of X's secret unlockable armors and adapted weapons and all of Zero's acquired techniques to show just how nearly evenly matched they were as they counter and exchange blows back and forth was so awesome and thrilling to watch. I love that last little detail that you added to the end of the fight where X, having tapped into his hidden true potential as Zero becomes infected by his own virus, grabs and has a moment to fatally shoot Zero but, due to the memories that they have shared together and because of the strength of their past friendship, shoots away from Zero at the last second which allows Zero the chance to cut off one of X's hands before X in turn shoots Zero back non - fatally, before both shoot the other simultaneously, finishing each other off. Basically, I love how you implied that X, despite how difficult it would be for him to do, would eventually win the fight but would ultimately be completely hampered from finishing Zero off because of his hesitation to kill anyone, especially his dearest friend and ally. Job very well done ultimatemaverickx in portraying a completely realistic fight to the way that an actual battle would go down between these two amazing and iconic video game characters. By the way, Mega Man X 4 is one of my all time favorite video games, despite the god-awful English dub. lol At least Lucas Gilbertson, the guy who officially has most recently voiced Zero in the latest Mega Man X video games, has an unofficial redub of the entire death of Iris cutscene, the cutscene between Zero and Colonel, and the fight between Zero and Sigma and they totally redeem these scenes in terms of acting quality and should have been the official English dub in the first place.
I remember watching this all the way back in middle school over ten years ago, I’m now becoming a junior in college, it’s amazing how time flies, but what’s even more amazing is how much you’ve improved your animations, even back then your videos hold up well today that speaks volumes about your passion and creativity, thank you for getting me into Megaman Maverick!
Man, it's so sick that sprite based animations are coming back as of late, I remember checking RUclips and NewGrounds all the time for this, Super Mario Bros Z and Sonic Final Fantasy, it was so freaking cool to watch your favorite characters crossover and duke it out,
heh, back when everyone used to go by their OCs lol, people would even make their own sprites and stuff
I really miss how shamelessly creative the internet used to be in the 2000's, kids had that weird mix of liking somewhat family friendly Videogame/Anime characters while being super edgy about it
Absolutely mad to see this in the feed, biggest bless my dude 🙏
Watched the old one not too long ago becasue of how hype it is, this is an absolute treat ^^
Can definitely say the Ultimate Armor sequence was perfected for sure.
Definitivamente se nota el cambio de calidad y todos los detalles añadidos en la parte final de la batalla simplemente los gritos de x, el añadir los campos de fuerza y todo eso le dió un plus Ultra ✨
This is one of the best videos that has ever been posted on youtube. Thank you for making this and sharing it with the public.
Thank you for starting an obsession that was there for me in the best times of my life, if it wasnt for the original upload and the music I would’ve never choose to be a musician. Whenever im at my lowest this tune reminds me to be like X a being with unlimited potential.
SOO REAL
I didn't expect a big ol' slap of nostalgia and happiness this morning. Thanks, man.
(Also the X6 stuff honestly looks and feels super cool. Definitely enhances the overall quality.)
Oh. My. God. You KILLED it on this remaster!! The upgrade on the special effects as well as some subtle choreography changes to make things a bit more clear bring this from a classic to a masterpiece!
I remember telling all of my friends about these really cool sprite fights back when I was in HS.
Your animations imprinted the concept of music sync and cinematic fights that I draw from this and the Omega Zero fight when I write my own fight scenes. Good job man.
-Decided to remaster it
-Lost the original files
-Did it anyways as if remaking it from scratch was nothing, despite scene like 4:02 could easily take up weeks of work
-refuse to elaborate and leaves
Srsly, restarting a project from ground ZERO and put in all those Xtra efforts w/o making a big deal out of it is such a MEGA chad move, what a SIGMA male(or female, or reploid if you identify as one). You ROCK
this made me feel just as hype as it did all those years ago. if i see an hd remaster if zero vs omega i will literally start bawling
Amigo... está increíble, de verdad, ¡Increibleeeee! El remasterizado fue hecho con mucho cuidado, le pusiste mucho cariño y pasión al trabajo que hiciste, este remasterizado está muy por encima en calidad que el anterior.
5:13 Personally I preferred the punch. The punch had way more impact and you could see Zero actually being knocked back like that because of it. Not to mention it's a parallel to when Sigma punched Zero when he had the virus (in the X4 cutscenes), so X would be activating his final stage in the fight and it signifies that X is beginning to use his hidden power (Unlimited Potential).
To me, the punch will always be more iconic. I don't agree with the change, but I still love the animation so much.
I agree
Same
It doesn't make sense at all, the punch is.. more dramatic but if you think about it, and the reflexes that Zero has, probably he would chop off his arm with another swing, is a thing that people was talking about a lot in the old animation, Nova strike makes a lil more sense because is a thing that Zero couldn't evade or counter by his reflexes
@@inubashiri6815 did you notice the fakeout before hand as X took Zero by surprise? it's very logical in my opinion, I don't see it illogical and I explained why thematically the punch is better, so I'm still siding with the punch.
@@DETahaX yes I know about the fakeout, I guess that fake out is the Soul body
I remember coming here, 10 years ago and watching it for the first time. I've always loved the series, so I was always thirst for content... I used to come back here each year and rewatch this, and now, seeing this remake... I can't put into words exactly how I feel, I can just thank you, UMX. You're as great as always. I love this community!
30 years of this amazing franchise and I have been around for every second of it. \o/
This is one of the best animations I've ever seen, it's incredible to see that even with all the time that had happen the creator still works on this amazing stuff.
Dude..
Seeing this just felt so unreal..
It reminded me of my past where I was obsessed with anything Mega Man related as a kid..
I found the older animation of X vs Zero when I searched up Mega Man X on RUclips using an iPad my parents got for me, and my brother, and boy let me say I thought this was the best thing in the world..
It really made me love and appreciate the Mega Man games as a kid, I didn't know much about the lore but I was familiar with X-5 enough to know what was going on.
The suspense of who was gonna win was killing me! I always thought it was gonna be X, because the hero always prevails but when I saw that jaw dropping draw, I was in awe!
I even remember this one time me and my brother were taken to the dollar store.. There were these colorful bubble wands that looked like light sabers that were for sale. Both me and my bro got one each, one green, one blue.
We came back to our house to play fight with the swords, thinking they were Zero's Sabers, as I grabbed my iPad and started playing this exact video while we had fun.
Years later come to now, where all of this stuff is happening, but then the remastered video comes out..
It was as amazing as I remembered the original, if not even BETTER..
I noticed the new sound effects that X and Zero did when they were fighting, jumping, leaping, dashing, it was all so SO COOL!!!
But the one major thing that made me gasp as I remembered the old version of the video was when X punches Zero in the head activating Awakened Zero.
Once I realized X did a Nova Strike to him, it made me speechless.. BUT ALSO REALLY EXCITED! 5:15
I was amazed from all of the improvements and visual touches made from the remastered..
And I would like to say thank you.
Thank you for creating such a beautiful masterpiece, and bringing back the nostalgia and joy that me and many others have endured from this alone..
We thought heroes would prevail but that's what made the ending of the original Mega Man even better.
Mega Man's last fight was him against Zero. Zero was like a robot far ahead of their time, so much so Mega Man couldn't even land a hit on him. And not only that, Zero just stands there waiting for Megaman to power up and shoot his best shot only to deflect it with his own hands. One of the most unique boss fights when it come to enemy AI's behavior as well. Mega Man and barely survived only because Zero was still a prototype and Wily hasn't finished it. So it kinda stopped functioning.
Ever since I learned this, I found the Mega Man X series to be way more epic that it ever was before.
LET'S GOOO! This video meant so much to me as a MMX fan, so seeing this masterpiece get remade brings me to a level of happiness I haven't felt in so long as a fanboy lol.
Great job man!
This video never gets old, on the contrary, it got even better! You translated one of the best battles in game history in this awesome video!
I totally understand if you dont come back to this but thank you seriously you dont understand how much this give me chills like genuinely actually I feel tears welling up from the sheer excitement If I was an authority on the matter I would say you're the most creative megaman fan out there this was a blessing
Oh man why did I wait this long to rewatch this masterpiece? 100/10
Viewing the part with the ride armor battle was still as mind blowing as it was back then. Thanks for the awesome work!
All these years rewatching the original was worth it, I almost shed a tear watching this version because of how perfect it is...Thanks for letting me relive my childhood once more
It's so smooth now! The change from the run up and punch in the face for the transition to Awakened Zero to a Giga Attack was unexpected but the Giga Attack Barrage you modified made that scene clearer as well. The addition of the shields popping up during attacks that were meant to look ineffective also helped in that regard too. Congrats on being chosen to make the art for the vinyls! Your art for the Ace Attorney anniversary was great as well!
Es increíble como se puede mejorar algo que ya es perfecto, aún recuerdo cuando la ví de niño siendo lo más épico que vi y revivir ese sentimiento es indescriptible, ¡Sigue así!
Years (decades?) later and this is still so awesome. The original was a formative piece of my childhood, and yep, this still gives me chills all right.
This game had been my entire childhood and your old video was a dear memory to me. Thank you so much for bringing it back
This made the original, infinitely better. You're truly amazing, and I appreciate you for this masterpiece you have brought upon us.
I can't believe I stumbled across this absolute legend right before I went to bed, I watched the original just the night before and was shaking with pure hype.
This is actually making me cry a little from how epic the remaster is, I feel energized to the core and I can't stop watching this!
Definitely showing my friends this! Keep up the awesome work and stay well! That goes for you too comment section :)
Memories flooding in how beautiful
Holy shit man i remember thinking this was the greatest thing in the world when I was little on my tablet and now years later it’s as beautiful as I remember and tears were shed
This will always be my head-cannon fight between the two. Incredible work, and an amazing redux. Thank you so much for this!
Es como viajar al pasado, ésto es hermoso en todos los aspectos y aunque el original siempre será el original, ésta reinvención la adoro con toda mi alma.
It's like traveling to the past, this is beautiful in all aspects and although the original will always be the original, I adore this reinvention with all my soul.
Literal one of the first 10 videos I watched on my grandma's Toshiba laptop. It was an experience like no other. I played it on repeat for months. Thank you for bringing back a part of me
Took X awhile to start landing hits, but when he went all out you could clearly see Zero was in trouble.
I honestly cried while watching this, it was beautifully done and outdone the original video. Thank you for the nostalgic feels and giving me something to smile about for today!!
You've managed to capture the very essence of horrendous dialogues in Mega Man.
Also I love the title "Decisive battle 2", as if the first one wasn't decisive.
