Everyone already said it, but genuinely one of the best ways to start your sequel The somber, tired sounding remix of the first game's ending theme, showing the hero is broken down and trying his best to go back to where he belongs, yet also showing his determination is still there, wavering as it is, just to finally reach his limit and be saved by one of the first game's antagonists
The most badass intro in GBA history, i remember hearing the song start and seeing the pictures of zero flash by as like a 7 year old. It was so beautiful to me and still gives me the same chills
1:37 A little detail I ADORE about this is that in this stage, and *only this stage*, the pause menu is Zero 1’s, but a cracked and faded version, as another subtle way of showing just how long Zero has been fighting without any rest or repair
He continued fight too long, it's 2 year's he continued fight, he exhausted fight feel mean to continue, only he want continue fight because he want go back to resistance base to protect ciel and people he care
We could have it start off with some evil dude beating up mega man while playing the song where Zero is walking. Mega Man is too beat up to keep fighting. Bad dude about to finish mega man and the all you see are those pics they used here right when the song starts getting good and we see Zero deflect that bad dudes kill attack then zero fucks him up
I was honestly bumped Zero only became an assist trophy. Buuuuuuuuuut, with Little Mac and even dlc characters, I’d still pay for Zero to be a character in Smash Bros, my favorite video game character after all. And I was hopping back in Smash 4 they’d add him but like from this series. Now having skins like Sora, we could have both X-Zero and the Zero from this series and even ZX-Advent
Dope af still. Damn man, the first time I loaded up this game I was like 13 and I cannot remember a time where I stood up and was so hyped by a handle held game. This is a damn classic.
Bro omg yes lmfao i cant explain how accurate this is to my life. The legit same thing would happen to me, the intro was what kept me playing this game over and over when I was a kid and kept dying. Then as I got older and got farther, finally mastered the jumps and beat the first bosses I realized this game was actually fucking insane lol
the bad thing is that fucking fraude of Inafune put it in a portable console (bad idea) and not many people like the design of this Megaman series (seriously compare the Original Zero to this) its why the Zero series are not that well know to X or the original Megaman
@@eliasnicolasmiranda4940 Using a handheld would have been a bad idea if they had used any other handheld that didn't have the Nintendo name on it (see: MHX and Powered Up). But this was for the GBA, something damn near everyone had. Besides, for all of the shady shit Inafune has done, I don't see how this particular decision makes him a "fraud"
@@satyamSaha then why not everyone ask for a Zero or even ZX much of the people was asking a new megaman we got MM11 thanks god now the majority of the people is asking for X9 yet no indication of Zero 5 or ZX2,3 or whatever chapter hell even Zero (MMZ series) or even ZX isn't in Smash Ultimate not even in Megaman's Final Smash or Trophy System again the series is so forgotten compared to the Original or X
@@eliasnicolasmiranda4940 the zero story ended with zero 4 it wouldn't make sense for them to create a 5th zero game, also many people have been requesting for ZX3.
I grew up with this game. i played this everyday back in middle school. explored every corner of all maps, got all the cyber-elfs, all healing flasks to the point my zero had like 3 HP bars, all the outfits, mastered all weapons and their movements(I also found a way to combined 2 high damage sword abilities like uppercut slash and groundbreaker to perform a deadly combo), and heck, even I challenged myself to use sword all the way from new game to end game. I never use a single cyber-elf throughout the game just because i don't want them gone and afaik there's no way you can get them back once you use them, so i only had to use Zero's ability; my own ability as the player. My favorite outfit was the black one (proto outfit?) which give you crazy amount of damage while decreasing your defense alot and sacrificing your charge ability, so it's perfect for sword user while having fast reaction time as a player. good times. even this youtube account name was inspired by this exact zero aswell. I added '-line' which means zero's way of life based on the series, atleast that's what I meant it. this game was my hero. it helped me through my lonely time. My favourite parts? The freaking INTRO! (damn that 3 pieces of scenes excite me everytime), when I fought Elpizo, and also, i think this one has the best soundtrack of all series. oh also, in this stage, you can destroy the boss's left hand so it won't have any additional shield anymore but it takes more time and will decrease your overall end stage point so it's not worth it. just sayin'.
The green adversary was my pic for if I ever wasn't playing as Zero or Megaman. Made me so happy to see him in the intro and hear that boss music. First time playing through these games and am currently on the Megaman Zero 2.
Fun fact: but the reason why he was rusty and collapsed onto the floor after battle is not due to exhaustion. It’s because Neo Arcadia weaponised the sandstorm he was walking thru at the beginning to add micro-magnet mines that paralyse enemies & chemicals that cause ECM effects. Neo Arcadia literally threw pocket sand at him.
I'm pretty sure this was never mentioned in the game, was it mentioned in some official source outside of the game? If so, may I have the source of that? Otherwise it sounds like you're making this up.
@@kentreed00 It was not mentioned in the game. It was mentioned in the Remastered Tracks Rockman Zero Idea booklet under the 'Departure' description. I would link you the specific translation to it in this comment, but RUclips is known for eating up comments with links to other videos and sites. Just look it up in Protodude's Rockman Corner.
I'm quite disappointed on Ippo Yamada's composition these days since he mostly focuses now in mostly electronics... What I was looking after is this kind of composition and arrangement where both rock and electronics matched like fire and coal. This is what I've been looking after Yamada-sensei. I was looking after what he did in the very first Departure composition where the game slaps you the story in the game

THIS is how you throw a player into a game
and no bullshit dlc just to get the outfits, abilities, cyber-elfs, and whatnot.
how many games today transition from main menu to first level this well?

Gundam Breaker 3, Breaker Edition. That's one of them so far, this decade at least.
Tell me about it. 1:08 This is how you roll intro. Sheer badass.

This fucking opening. This was so epic to young me. Still is
1:06 this is one of the most hype song intros in all of gaming
"I might be damaged, but i still want the smoke..."
- Zero, probably
When I was about 7 I would die over and over on the 1st level but would keep playing just so I could watch the intro

Inafune designed this series as opposed to X6 through X8. Hence the amazing subtle qualities in the game play and even the stage intro.

get a gba emulator and play it bro lol its amazing
@@kindadiagonallydismalyou can get the zx collection
Remember when your a kid and you have no idea how to pass the first level
Totally. The first boss was extremely tough for me a that time... Now, it is a piece of cake xd

this is the hardest fucking intro stage i ever played in a megaman game! holy shit!
amazing
Dude right, as a kid i had it on emulator and i got so angry cause i couldn't get through.
This isn't fun anymore...
+Sephiroth08150 Why you say that?
+MegamanNG After shooting 12 mavericks, Zero doesn't find this fun anymore.

The best part is this enemy is a version of the very first boss fight. Shows how much stronger Zero got since then! 2:09
Those 3 panel goes incredibly hard
Que manera de empezar un juego dios mio, más hype que cualquier trailer de Zelda
it's so simple and yet so epic
1:05 Momento EPIC 😔👌
🚬
That intro alone gave birth to a whole generation of edgy profile pictures on internet
Best intro ever.
This is my favorite opening in the franchise
Departure
Anyone know the name of the song that plays while zero is walking and before the mavericks show up and departure starts playing.
For Endless Fight I think
@@cabbagepatch6205 specifially the zero 2 version, zeros 1, 2 and 3 each have a version of "for endless fight"
@@variastudios301 Oh I didn't know that thanks for clarifying
Zero continues to fight but has no energy left to destroy those enemies.
Love this opening so much. Reminds me of metal gear rising. So awesome.
I’d pay to see Zero vs. Raiden
And people say the mega man x intro stage is good. "SCOFF"
OKAY no thats a masterpiece.
First played this at 15. I'm 34. Still epic🔥
0 Dislikes, amazing.
The guy played well though there are little mistakes here and there and the game itself is amazing.
He didnt dash once
And there is a dislike now unfortunately
