So as requested by many of you, I made a quick video on Mega Man ZX and ZX Advent! Check it out if you're interested :) ruclips.net/video/ni-Q19zda7M/видео.html
You missed bringing up an interesting change to X's dialogue in the ending of Megaman Zero 1, where he reveals the reason he gave up on fighting. The Japanese version, X says something along the lines of he "no longer cared about the people he was slaughtering", while the english version has him say he simply "didn't care about winning battles anymore". The japanese version thus gives X a sadder tone, and shows that he drew the line when he realized he didn't feel anything for his fellow reploids, and wished to avoid going further into that dark path.
@@ultraspinalki11 And yet, I do prefer the symbolism of Zero continuing Dr. Light and X's dream because, in the end, it's the combination of Light and Wily's creations what led to a better future. Megaman 11 showed proof of that (Rock being powered up with Wily's Double Gear system)
@@MaxusFox23 "it's the combination of Light and Wily's creations what led to a better future". *Looks at a devastated Earth and nearly extinct humans following the Maverick wars triggered by X's creation of Reploids and Zero's release of Wily virus.* :,(
And for good reason: they're really mediocre Metroid clones. Also, Advent relies too much on switching to gimmicky one-use forms to progress and thus the mechanic becomes annoying.
mjc0961 Strongly disagree. ZX 1 is a great call back to X series whilst giving us a chance to experience gameplay for four characters who were a great element in Zero series, including Omega Zero. Advent was a step back.
@THE DRAGON KNIGHT SLAYER64 i agree the game isn't really refined and has some cons, like what you said about the missions, where i'll also add the map is pretty confusing at first and you essentially have a map of the whole game to know where you have to go next (at least at the start of the game), in ZX at least. I have't played Advent yet, so i can't say anything about it. But ZX has a certain charm thanks to the Biometal system that makes it unique and decent.
There is actually some changes to the lore of Z1 and Z4 which indicate the games might've gone into different directions from what we got in the final game. Z1's story was initially around the idea that X grew jaded of fighting for peace which had him bring the world to dystopia, but in the final game the X final boss is actually a fake since they considered this too drastic for X. A leftover of one of the previous X designs is still seen in the game during the dialogue and shows X with a more familiar helmet to the X series, barely matching the sprites used in Z1. In the case of Z4 that game was originally pitched as Z1.5 during the time Zero was seperated from the resistance after the first games ending. The Z Knuckle in Z4 stemmed from this idea since Zero's weapons would be broken by this time. However the team eventually felt there still can be more after Z3 and thus changed the direction to be what we know now as Z4. I say this causes it's amazing how Capcom and Inti Creates kept the games clean of these leftover ideas but still have the games come out as full products that made leftover ideas barely noticeable and all the games still have a solid frame, not to mention how they were released annually by year which means development between games was pretty short. Anyway, not every day you see cut content of Zero discussed!
I wonder if the "Rescue Ciel" mission is just inside coding for the intro mission or a leftover of an unused idea. An interview with Inti Creates staff reveals that Ciel was gonna be kidnapped during the 2nd attack on the base and replaced with a fake, hinder your missions and even not let you save your game. You'd later fight that fake as a boss: The Rainbow Devil. Concept art shows it was originally called "Nize Shieru" aka "Fake Ciel". However, this idea was dropped since not letting the player save was "too cruel" considering the game's difficulty as it was.
Barry Bend I would also like Axl or Model A. I’d prefer Axl because I would like random X series boss references in his various attacks. Axl’s and Zero’s movesets have so many possibilities.
In Japan, it is actually called the Zet Saber. Because the English “Z” is pronounced “ゼット” (zetto). So Tetra is kind of right in calling it a Zed Saber regardless of him being Canadian.
10:09 im pretty sure thats a remix of the get your weapons ready song from mega-man 2 at least the opening rif of it is I haven't played it in over 2 years why I can recognize it is a mystery to even me
Well everything that you can't remember is just in the very back of your head until something sounds stupid familiar then it suddenly gets recalled out of nowhere xD
@@buccaneerguy8197 You are correct, sir. But because I'm Amer'can, I must legally dispute you for no particular reason. (Though I did learn something thanks to this! I never knew that "Zed" is derived from the Greek letter "Zeta"! Knowledge is power!)
One thing about that blood splatter sprite, in the cutscene where the guardians kill the soldiers, you can actually see that blood splatter come out of some of the soldiers (or all of them, don't remember.) Just thought I'd point that out lol.
The effect with the Z during the opening is used in other games as well. I think it may have originated on the SNES and is to my understanding a sort of graphics mode, similar to the infamous mode 7. The different modes had different advantages and disadvantages mostly trading layers and number of colors. Graphics bandwidth was limited and everything was written in assembly, the modes were defined by the hardware itself. Each instruction had a set length where each bit had a certain meaning based on the mode. I could be mixing some things up though and I'm not positive the graphic trick was a mode, I am pretty sure it was directly supported in hardware though (intended feature rather than something they added in). As for the graphic itself to try and explain it better (maybe, I'm not to good at explaining stuff either) there's a horizontal scan line that moves down that funky looking image, whatever is within that scan line when the frame updates gets copied vertically in the graphics buffer essentially elongating it so if the horizontal scan line reads X X O O O O X X then X X X O O X X X it might become (spaces to make it easier to follow) X X O O O O X X X X O O O O X X X X O O O O X X X X X O O X X X X X X O O X X X X X X O O X X X The amount of times the line is copied vertically can also be changed per frame. The scan line moves down the original graphic at Y number of pixels per Z frames. I think it even supports scanning different parts of the image (it doesn't have to start at a set point and can skip around). Obviously this trick does have it's limitations and is mostly used for things like this cool title effect. I think it may be used in some games for overlay effects but I'm just a guy who's watched some RUclips videos on it and doesn't have any first hand experience. After writing the above I remembered a bit more, variations of these effects are used in the Earthbound games for the funky backgrounds. A similar idea is also used in 3D games where they move a texture along a surface to create effects like rippling water. It's also possible to do something like this with normal maps (determine how light interacts with objects to create a sense of depth) to make even greater effects. This guy explains a ton of this stuff a lot better than I can: ruclips.net/channel/UCwRqWnW5ZkVaP_lZF7caZ-g Also Jon Burton of Tell Tale games has a channel where he's explained some of the tricks he's used throughout the years (especially early days): ruclips.net/channel/UCfVFSjHQ57zyxajhhRc7i0g If anyone knows more about this stuff then I do then please feel free to correct me or add more info.
Also MegaMan ZX games give a big impact childhood Memories ZX Advent was my first one back in December 2014 not until my big brother Buys the Original ZX in June of 2015 making the best childhood memories ever (we went through a Long trip the entire summer while I was playing it in the car)
"My boy Megaman.EXE" I 100% agree with this statement. It would be nice to see a Lost bits video of the Battle Network series if there is enough for a video.
Since this is a Japanese game, technically Zed is the correct pronunciation for the Z-Saber, as Japanese English is based on British English, and Z in Japan is "Zetto", the closest possible way to say "Zed".
5:47 Another stage with another boss that possibly was going to be added to the boss survival in the last stage. It's just my guess, because the Megaman games now has 8 bosses in the boss survival. The first Megaman game had 6 robot masters, but when it got a remake (titled Megaman Powered Up), it had 8 robot masters. At least, Megaman Zero 2 kind of made up for the first Megaman game to be the only one with 6 robot masters.
Technically 7, but yeah, 6 "non-rival" boss battles. Although in Zero 1 it's also a very weird case, since there is no selected collection, you just face boss after boss and I'm pretty sure it doesn't add up to 8. 4 main missions(3 regular bosses, 1 big mecha), intermission(big mecha), 4 more main missions(guardians), Hanumachine, then 2 sub-bosses, Herculious and Rainbow Devil. I'm pretty sure that's only 5 traditional bosses. Also there are technically 11 in Z3 as well, not 8, so Z4 is actually the only Zero game to follow the formula.
@@uandresbrito5685 Oh, I'm talking about the boss endurance for the last stage. In Megaman 1, in Dr. Wily's second stage, you take on two bosses (as part of the boss endurance), and then you take on your clone, and on Dr. Wily's fourth stage, you take on four bosses (as part of the boss endurance), and then you take on Dr. Wily. So it's 2 plus 4, and it equals up to 6. In Megaman 2-6, it's 8 bosses in the boss endurance before the final stage, and Megaman 7-8 had the boss endurance with 8 bosses in the last stage. In Megaman Zero 1, 3, and 4, it's 8 bosses in the boss endurance which is in the final stage, and in Megaman Zero 2, it's 6 (or 7 if you're counting the red beetle and blue beetle as separate) bosses in the boss endurance, which is in the final stage. The boss endurance always comes before you fight the main boss in the stage. The guy in the video also mentioned a scrapped stage with a scrapped boss in Megaman Zero 2. I wonder if any part of the boss got done besides his design.
@@bennel3588 If you're counting SPECIFICALLY the bosses in the rematches, yes, it's true, but the way bosses are treated in the series, where there are the traditional bosses and the "rival" bosses, and sometimes the "giant" bosses, as in RMs for classic series, Maverick bosses for X and Mutos Reploids for Zero, I'd say this possibily becomes less likely, considering the boss distribution in the Zero series is all over the place to begin with. My take is that they may considered including the 3 guardians in the boss hatches, but made 3 separate stages for them for story purposes. Those stage sections seem more like extensions to me, honestly
@@uandresbrito5685 Did you know that Megaman 2-3 got a remake on PlayStation 1? Those PlayStation remakes were only released in Japan. I think 4-6 also got a remake on PlayStation 1. I already know the first original Megaman got a remake on PlayStation Portable for North America and Japan and the first Megaman X game got a remake on PlayStation Portable in North America and Japan. I was hoping that Megaman X Maverick Hunters 2 would get released, but the first one did not sell well, so they did not try for a second one.
@@bennel3588 If you mean Complete Works, yes, I'm aware. That's the source of those high-quality artwork for all the RMs from 1 through 6, which I personally like much more than Inafune's own art. The problem is that it barely changes the games. You have extra stuff, music, artwork, HUD, performance fixes and stuff, but the games are the same, so it's not really a remake. Unless you're talking about Wily Wars, which WAS localized to english, but the availability exclusive to the Genesis and the poor performance make it a subpar remake. I like the Genesis Unit, thou. Overall I'd say the only true remakes in the franchise are Powered Up and MHX. The rest are ports or remasters.
ZX Advent was my first ever mega man game, I remember I somehow got to the final boss but could never beat it (still can’t lol, but* im hoping to have that change when the Z/ZX collection comes out)!
Also in the first cutscene of the first game the Golem enemies when they use their lasers to "Retire" some Resistance Soldiers there is a larger amount of the "Blood splat Animation " in the japanese version but in the version we got there was some but greatly diminished
@@buccaneerguy8197 I did not plan on playing it today (to tell the truth I'm actually playing it on MyBoy emualtor because my big brother sold the collection ds)
Even through MyBoy emulator I spend more time with the 4 Zero games so I still beat some bosses (I never use a save state that's what they called cheating) I still enjoyed playing the 4 games so it's fine now
Forget the zed/zee thing, you're killing me every time you call Ciel "seal" 😵 Ciel is pronounced more like "shell"- her name is in French (like everyone else in the resistance) Fun fact, the motif with the resistance goes beyond just French! Ciel translates to "sky", and everyone in the resistance has a name that translates to a different bird.
this gameplay in the background i only beat the first game and am about to beat the second, but seeing you stand there and get crushed by spikes at 8:42 when you could've easily stopped charging the shield boomerang and killed the pantheon below with a skull crush (holding down at the end of an aerial attack, prolonging the ending frame and hitbox until you either hit the ground or let go of the down button) really just hurt my soul
The Mega Man Zedro series is so fun. I love zedipping around with my zedsaber and slicing robots into a zedillion pieces. Spent a lot of time with those games, especially MMZed4 right before bed, when I couldn't sleep. Helped to tire me out so I could catch a few zeds.
Im re watching this and I noticed at 7:46: The first computer from the left looks more like an arcade cabinet; there's literally a simplified version of the title screen on it and the 2nd one from the left doesnt even look like a computer that is a straight up vending machine.
Can you do a lost bits on luigs mansion 3 or dark moon? Those games are really good and the original had so much cut content that these two deserve a chance to live up to that example
Did you know that in late production of Mega man zero 1, the original plot was to have the real mega man X and not copy X, the final change was made from X to copy X for some unknown reason.
I wanted to let you know that the way the opening screen works is one of the coolest things about the games I learned, and that I'm totally gonna use it in my games in the future
You mention blood being censored.... But... I have the american cartridge right here, and the resistance soldiers in the opening scene do bleed with that same blood splatter when hit
2:00 Ok a bit of clarification on this part. In the MMZ point of the time line. Reploids have become more organic based. As a result they now have artificial organs and blood. So yes that actually is blood. Artificial Blood but blood none the less. Since Japan and the US among other places handle the rating systems differently when it comes to depictions of blood and context when it is considered to graphic for a younger audience. This was changed and I'm some cases cut from international versions. To keep an "E" rating. I don't blame you for not knowing this because technically this is mostly explained in the Japan only lore guides for Zero and ZX. (And hopefully the collection will Include them). But yeah, technically the Reploids and bosses in these games are organic. And technically count as artificial life forms, especially by ZX. Save for X and Zero whom are pretty much the last "Robots" left in that world. Which is also why Zero never bleeds in the Japanese version.
I'm pretty sure the Reploids are still robots as in they aren't organic at all. The blood thing could just be oil, since every single freaking mechaniloid in the Zero series spills it. It's actually stared thou that in the ZX era humans and Reploids are basically the same, so I assume that by 24XX you'd be correct.
Ir even rescued from somerhing more secret:-) sadly that could never happen unless reploids were redcon to be capable of standart human reproduction.(yep i ship them a lot)
damn nostalgia hitting hard, we need more to this game idk, a prequel to the zero series about the war? a whole remake with astonishing new graphics? i mean, the classic will still be best but... something more than just "put a group of games together and sell it again", i dont dig this myself considering i still have the old physical versions, i crave for something "new" instead, something to give me that nostalgia feel i so long for BUT, we can only hope we get something in the future
Well if anything, this collection can introduce a legion of new players to the series and only if it does well enough will it warrant something new done with the series!
There's a simple way to get the zed stuff to stop the world round but everyone is missing it, just at ed to every letter, Aed, Bed, Ced, Ded, Ged, eedtedced
The unused section under the forest of dysus??? It looks very familiar... It looks like the place you visit by falling through some false walls. Are you sure that's not what it is? I'm going to have to replay it now. I swear that's not unused.
Okay I get thats how you say the word I'm not hating but I'm pretty sure that because he's ZE-ro I think that would imply how you'd say his weapon names and such. It just sounds so really strange like someone named Zed owned the Zeros sword before he got it.
Speaking of MegaMan Battle Network, Have you done a lost of bits of the Battle Network series yet? It would be cool, if you went thru the entire series. You always use music from the Battle network series in your videos, Its time you actually did some lost bits on that series.
we actually need a ultimate mode in the Zero series, with enemies and bosses having x2 HP and more speed. Hope someone will make a romhack with this feature

In Megaman Zero 1, 3, and 4, it's 8 bosses in the boss endurance which is in the final stage, and in Megaman Zero 2, it's 6 (or 7 if you're counting the red beetle and blue beetle as separate) bosses in the boss endurance, which is in the final stage. The boss endurance always comes before you fight the main boss in the stage. The guy in the video also mentioned a scrapped stage with a scrapped boss in Megaman Zero 2. I wonder if any part of the boss got done besides his design.
@@bennel3588 If you're counting SPECIFICALLY the bosses in the rematches, yes, it's true, but the way bosses are treated in the series, where there are the traditional bosses and the "rival" bosses, and sometimes the "giant" bosses, as in RMs for classic series, Maverick bosses for X and Mutos Reploids for Zero, I'd say this possibily becomes less likely, considering the boss distribution in the Zero series is all over the place to begin with. My take is that they may considered including the 3 guardians in the boss hatches, but made 3 separate stages for them for story purposes. Those stage sections seem more like extensions to me, honestly
@@uandresbrito5685 Did you know that Megaman 2-3 got a remake on PlayStation 1? Those PlayStation remakes were only released in Japan. I think 4-6 also got a remake on PlayStation 1. I already know the first original Megaman got a remake on PlayStation Portable for North America and Japan and the first Megaman X game got a remake on PlayStation Portable in North America and Japan. I was hoping that Megaman X Maverick Hunters 2 would get released, but the first one did not sell well, so they did not try for a second one.
@@bennel3588 If you mean Complete Works, yes, I'm aware. That's the source of those high-quality artwork for all the RMs from 1 through 6, which I personally like much more than Inafune's own art.
The problem is that it barely changes the games. You have extra stuff, music, artwork, HUD, performance fixes and stuff, but the games are the same, so it's not really a remake.
Unless you're talking about Wily Wars, which WAS localized to english, but the availability exclusive to the Genesis and the poor performance make it a subpar remake. I like the Genesis Unit, thou.
Overall I'd say the only true remakes in the franchise are Powered Up and MHX. The rest are ports or remasters.
ZX Advent was my first ever mega man game, I remember I somehow got to the final boss but could never beat it (still can’t lol, but* im hoping to have that change when the Z/ZX collection comes out)!
There are many ways to cheat boss battles in that game, but I assume you just tackle him fair and square. That way he's quite hard, indeed.
Also in the first cutscene of the first game the Golem enemies when they use their lasers to "Retire" some Resistance Soldiers there is a larger amount of the "Blood splat Animation " in the japanese version but in the version we got there was some but greatly diminished

Megaman zero 3 is the best megaman game ever made.
This should be pinned.
Yes.
Its ranking system is TRASH.
*UTTER TRASH.* Though that's par for the entire sub-series.

OMG! This unused track is the weapon get from Mega Man 2!!
Hahaha now thats laughable because I'm literally playing MegaMan Zero 2 then I was planning playing 4 (because I'm taking a break from RPGs)
what about zero 3 XD
@@buccaneerguy8197 I did not plan on playing it today (to tell the truth I'm actually playing it on MyBoy emualtor because my big brother sold the collection ds)
@@Mighty10917 that's sucks
Even through MyBoy emulator I spend more time with the 4 Zero games so I still beat some bosses (I never use a save state that's what they called cheating) I still enjoyed playing the 4 games so it's fine now
Forget the zed/zee thing, you're killing me every time you call Ciel "seal" 😵
Ciel is pronounced more like "shell"- her name is in French (like everyone else in the resistance)
Fun fact, the motif with the resistance goes beyond just French! Ciel translates to "sky", and everyone in the resistance has a name that translates to a different bird.
actually , it's more like "see-el" than "shell"
this gameplay in the background
i only beat the first game and am about to beat the second, but seeing you stand there and get crushed by spikes at 8:42 when you could've easily stopped charging the shield boomerang and killed the pantheon below with a skull crush (holding down at the end of an aerial attack, prolonging the ending frame and hitbox until you either hit the ground or let go of the down button) really just hurt my soul
The Mega Man Zedro series is so fun. I love zedipping around with my zedsaber and slicing robots into a zedillion pieces.
Spent a lot of time with those games, especially MMZed4 right before bed, when I couldn't sleep. Helped to tire me out so I could catch a few zeds.
When you said Zedro I thought Pedro, VOTE FOR PEDR-I MEAN UH, VOTE FOR ZEDRO!
The chances of a Lost Bit going unnoticed by Tetra are *_Zero_* percent

Im re watching this and I noticed at 7:46: The first computer from the left looks more like an arcade cabinet; there's literally a simplified version of the title screen on it and the 2nd one from the left doesnt even look like a computer that is a straight up vending machine.
Can you do a lost bits on luigs mansion 3 or dark moon? Those games are really good and the original had so much cut content that these two deserve a chance to live up to that example
How do you pronounce Zero "ZEE-ROH". How do YOU pronounce Z "ZED". How do us Americans pronounce Z "ZEE".
The American way makes since.
Yeah, but Zed is the British way, so it's obviously better
>sips tea
@@junorequiem7199 which word makes a "zed" sound? None of them. Zed-o-phobia?
@@junorequiem7199 that depends on the person
Y'all are silly haha that's not how letters work! You don't pronounce Mario "Em-ay-are-eye-oh"

Did you know that in late production of Mega man zero 1, the original plot was to have the real mega man X and not copy X, the final change was made from X to copy X for some unknown reason.
The change was because X6 was made without Keji Inafune's permission
I remember this first time I played mega man 2. I was so bad that i couldn't get past the 6 screen.
:(
The 6 screen...?
I mean, I would love to see what stuff you have on .EXE at some point. Be it lost bits or some gameplay challenges.
Ah, yet another great vid on my favorite franchise. Yes more please on the zx series
ZX video please! I just need to brace myself for your speech tributes to Lord Zed.
Megaman Zero 2 was my first MM game, and tied with the Legends series as my favorite
Great stream today! Figured out how to become a member, plan on doing it soon. Thanks for the help!
Thanks for the consideration 😎
5:53 actually, the airship is crashed on crystal canyon in the final game, but you only go around the outside of it
Oh man that Zero 1 title screen technique is so cool!!
1:13 I know exactly, exactly what you're talking about here. Join me, my 'zed'st friend.
I wanted to let you know that the way the opening screen works is one of the coolest things about the games I learned, and that I'm totally gonna use it in my games in the future
Eons ago, when MMZ1 was new, I swear the very first version of English MMZ1 had all the blood and other removed elements.
Good video.
You mention blood being censored.... But... I have the american cartridge right here, and the resistance soldiers in the opening scene do bleed with that same blood splatter when hit
Ahh good ol Megaman Zero... Now Battle Network plz?
Grab your Zed saber

My entire life story summed up in an unused sprite:
*SUCCESS*

Ok a bit of clarification on this part. In the MMZ point of the time line. Reploids have become more organic based. As a result they now have artificial organs and blood. So yes that actually is blood. Artificial Blood but blood none the less. Since Japan and the US among other places handle the rating systems differently when it comes to depictions of blood and context when it is considered to graphic for a younger audience. This was changed and I'm some cases cut from international versions. To keep an "E" rating.
I don't blame you for not knowing this because technically this is mostly explained in the Japan only lore guides for Zero and ZX. (And hopefully the collection will Include them). But yeah, technically the Reploids and bosses in these games are organic. And technically count as artificial life forms, especially by ZX. Save for X and Zero whom are pretty much the last "Robots" left in that world. Which is also why Zero never bleeds in the Japanese version.
I'm pretty sure the Reploids are still robots as in they aren't organic at all. The blood thing could just be oil, since every single freaking mechaniloid in the Zero series spills it. It's actually stared thou that in the ZX era humans and Reploids are basically the same, so I assume that by 24XX you'd be correct.
You got a cyber elf!
To quote the famous Jontron, our lord and savior... "IS IT CALLED A FUCKING ZEDBRA?"
Fun fact: megaman zero 4 was one of if not the first game i ever beat.
OMG! This is my favorite megaman series of all time!!
That short fanfare as u called it was clearly megaman 2 weapon get *pushes glasses up with finger* akshually
I would love to see a quick video on the zx games :D
4:44 maybe ciel needs to be rescued from being single:-) 🄲🄸🄴🄻➻❥🅉🄴🅁🄾
Lmao
That was the best comment I seen today.
Ir even rescued from somerhing more secret:-) sadly that could never happen unless reploids were redcon to be capable of standart human reproduction.(yep i ship them a lot)

damn nostalgia hitting hard, we need more to this game idk, a prequel to the zero series about the war? a whole remake with astonishing new graphics? i mean, the classic will still be best but... something more than just "put a group of games together and sell it again", i dont dig this myself considering i still have the old physical versions, i crave for something "new" instead, something to give me that nostalgia feel i so long for BUT, we can only hope we get something in the future
Well if anything, this collection can introduce a legion of new players to the series and only if it does well enough will it warrant something new done with the series!
Totally Interested in the ZX series as well
Noted!
do the zx series, it's so underrated
I can’t ever unsee cross eyed zero after this video lmaoo
Yes, I would be interested in a ZX video
Seeming like the multiplayer function in Z2 will again be disabled in the legacy collection if it was previously disabled in the DS collection
That's probably a fair assumption
3:42 fun fact: that same illusion is used in the original MegaMan X game
E for Everyone?!
Those games in Europe are classified PEGI 12+
4:57 Mega Man Zero 3 is a PEGI 3+?! **Laughs in EmKay**
I saw you using sheild sweeper with fire chip . Is that possible ?
Pls do a short ZX video.
Normally it would be Zee Ex... however, I also say zed ex, as in ZX Spectrum
MMZ was also one of my first games in a GBASP, thx for this video!
There's a simple way to get the zed stuff to stop the world round but everyone is missing it, just at ed to every letter, Aed, Bed, Ced, Ded, Ged, eedtedced
Not even the Great Clement (who LPed most of the Mega Man games) said "Zed-Saber." And he's Canadian, ahaha.
Its back on.
Megaman got an upgrade after Megaman 6 called “ZeR0” & he did use it He'll say Hi!!!!!
The unused section under the forest of dysus??? It looks very familiar... It looks like the place you visit by falling through some false walls. Are you sure that's not what it is? I'm going to have to replay it now. I swear that's not unused.
If i remember correctly, Zero 3 was intended to be the last game which is why theres so much content for it
I'm so glad I grew up with this: MegaMan Zero
But Damm I can't wait: MegaMan Zero Legacy Collection
The unused brown scale stage super reminded me of wilys castle
I'd be down for a short Lost Bits video on the ZX duology.
My favorite! Thank you :-) ❤️
Woah, at 10:31 his slashes timed with the music
The first cutscene even in the English version of Zero 1 still has “robot blood” splatter
I think the Contra games could be good for a lost bits, what do you think?
Perhaps !
The reason why Z2 have all the Z1 reused is mostly because Z2 wqs rushed.
Developemnt time was only 4 months
Zero's ranking system is godawful, and Zero 3 is the only game where Auto-Charge isn't completely pointless.
yay another lost bits
Wow Another megaman video
You Done One Of these videos before
*realizes I made a mistake*
Uhhh....... ZED
There was a multi-player mode?! What did that even look like?
well Z-Sabre is referred as Zetsaber in Legends so, close enough
is it me or did that unuse room in mmz look liked it was from megaman legends?
Okay I get thats how you say the word I'm not hating but I'm pretty sure that because he's ZE-ro I think that would imply how you'd say his weapon names and such. It just sounds so really strange like someone named Zed owned the Zeros sword before he got it.
Speaking of MegaMan Battle Network, Have you done a lost of bits of the Battle Network series yet?
It would be cool, if you went thru the entire series.
You always use music from the Battle network series in your videos, Its time you actually did some lost bits on that series.
I will, in due time !
That series is getting its own Legacy Collection next year
I wasn't going to say anything until you the thing with the zed commet
“You don’t say a phucking zed-bra do you? Ya phucking barbarians!”
we actually need a ultimate mode in the Zero series, with enemies and bosses having x2 HP and more speed. Hope someone will make a romhack with this feature
