commander, are you okay? I'm missing an arm and limping, my armor is totally warped and cut up, and I'm grunting as if I were in pain; Yes, I'm totally fine.
How interesting it would've been if they had an alternate universe where Zero is still the bad guy while Sigma remained as the commander of the Maverick Hunters. It would've been interesting, that's for sure.
Now that the main timeline has been completed with Megaman X8, that would have been a nice opportunity to continue the series with an alternate turn of events as a secondary saga.
Branny Cedeño The X series is FAR from being completed. Very little has been answered or clarified and they made even more questions with the whole Lumine thing.
If they continue with how the story should’ve ended then Mega man x9 would be at the end of the Maverick Wars where it’s x’s last adventure before the start of the Elf wars. But if they continue with axl and lumines story then they have to alternate the end but still have to relate to the end of the maverick wars.
it's a pretty tragic fate for him,especially in maverick hunter x where he wants reploids potential to be like the freedom x has(always headcanoned with how the series all but states dr. wily's spirit lived on in the virus like dr. light with the capsules at least in x5 that he controlled sigma's actions when they went to destroying both humans and reploids corrupting & degrading his body in the process.) only to be taken over by the wily virus and become the megaman version of m. bison. if he were to come back in x9 be interesting if they had him reflect on that or still had some of that care for reploid potential.
@@tracyndiyob162 It’s honestly something I wished the X games delved into when it comes to the tragedy of Sigma’s fall to villainy. Neither X nor even Zero, despite him indirectly being the reason for why Sigma is the way he is now, acknowledge that Sigma had no choice in the matter in becoming a Maverick and that it was the Maverick Virus from Zero that corrupted him and turned him evil.
i never realized it before because i was so much younger when i played this, but it's really tragic what happened to sigma. he didnt want to risk anyone else's life, so he took on a maverick explicitly capable of wiping out an organized unit of hunters single handedly. no good deed goes unpunished apparently.
Yeah. It's hard to remember because of how twisted he became later on, but when Sigma was a Maverick Hunter, he was a genuinely good person. Probably a lot like how Zero is now. He became Maverick because of an accident really, but he never wanted that to happen. In my opinion, Sigma's actually the most tragic character in this series.
I know im late but maybe in the future, they can make an x game where zero is the antagonist and sigma takes on the role that zero plays in the original x games. Setting the carrot on the stick to encourage you to play the game, get good and become as powerful as he is. I wonder what would have happened if zero stayed a maverick and sigma stayed a genuinely good person and maverick hunter.
I love how beautifully this sets up the entire story. Zero, Dr. Wily's last and greatest creation, turned into a Reploid with a savior complex. Sigma, once a proud Commander who risked his life for his own, became the catalyst for the Maverick wars.
And not to mention, he ended up destroying his inner evil with INNER EVIL. Which is quite poetic because Zero was in a way a reflection of who Wily was in his youth.
Savior complex? The dude was too logical and efficient to think about stuff like being some kind of messiah. He acted and did the right things but he was kind of... cold, in a way (totally the opposite of X). Actually that's another point of MMX4: to show you how a person that has his life ruled by pure logic and efficiency... shatters after seeing that not all things in the world can be solved with just mere fighting (AKA the really emotional trauma he suffered after killing Iris, someone he actually loved but, once again, his logical POV didn't let him realize that until it was too late).
Imagine if they made megaman games about the next Elf wars after the maverick wars bro that would have been dark af. That war went for a 100 years and wiped 90% of reploids and a good % of humanity
To anyone who isn't aware enough about the story,this moment is almost certain to be the exact moment in which Sigma got infected by the Willy Virus and turned evil afterwards. Zero was Willy's last trump card and had the virus in him,so he probably infected Sigma during this fight.
i always took it when i 1st saw the scene that the w was a restraint dr. wily put on zero to keep him from leaving the lab(since in material it's stated wily died not too long after sealing him.) and the flash was when it got into sigma. with how sigma was portrayed in this,maverick hunter x/x8 and the series implying wily living on through the virus(headcanon his personality being different to the former 2 from wily controlling him somewhat with how they interact in x5.) it's a bit tragic that sigma went from a robot that cared for his men wanting them to have the freedom x has to an insane robot version of m. bison that wants to destroy and rule even if it meant destroying other reploids.
I don't think going Maverick is necessarily catching a virus, but a robot being deprogrammed (or reprogrammed) to override human command and disregard their life.
Reny Bryant The "Sigma Virus" is shown doing exactly that throughout the games. Sigma originally contracted it from Zero in this fight, and then inadvertently spread it around. Zero was Wily's greatest creation, and the virus was part of his final insurance policy if Zero didn't destroy Dr. Light, Mega Man, and/or the world.
It makes more sense if you remember that no matter what hits Sigma in X1, he only receives one point of damage. Lemon bullet? 1 damage. Charge shot? 1 damage. Metal pipe? 1 damage... Zero's bare hands? _Arm falls off._
Then the same fucker blows himself up when trying to defeat Vile, and only manages to fuck up the Ride Armor. So many things can break the ride armor. Everything can. And Zero self-destructs. He could've spat on it.
When after Zero just rips Gamma Unit to shreds & nearly bodies poor Sigma to hell and back. Is no wonder why they ain't telling Iris or Ciel. OH wait, Ciel's gonna be in love.
Well, Sigma was very powerful at this point and the fact he outmatching Zero for a brief moment and slowly losing ground tells how well designed Sigma was; however, nothing( not even X at that point, was a match to Zero) When Sigma became a Maverick, he could destroy Zero in a 1 v 1 and that is a fact. Zero in MMX was not a match to Vile who was designed to be a warmachine. In Maverick hunter X(PSP) despite being technically non cannon, they still expanded upon the fact Zero cant 1 v 1 Vile or he gets destroyed. From X5 onwards, Sigma has been destroyed with team effort.
At 1:22 and 1:40 you can tell Sigma realizes something is wrong and totally off about his opponent but seems to disregard it and remains confident he can win.
SSGSJ3KKx20LimitBreaker Gogito he’s probably saying if the production crew actually gave some effort in voice acting it properly then it prob would’ve been great
They should've just given Megaman X his own cartoon series the way they gave classic Megaman. I mean they did have a spin off episode where they teamed up but it still would've been cool to see X and Zero's story between the games.
"SIR! What...what happened to your arm?" Sigma: "He punched it off." "S...sir? He tore your arm off?!" Sigma: "No. No he did not. He *punched* it off. He ran at me. Drew back his fist. Then, while I was winding up for a major sword strike, he punched off my arm." "H-how is that even possible?" Sigma: "YOU THINK I CARE HOW IT'S POSSIBLE?! HE PUNCHED. MY FREAKING. ARM. OFF. Now I gave him a solid F-you to the head, so he's out cold. You go in there and you INCINERATE that body, are we clear?" "Sir, shouldn't we bring him back to the lab for----" Sigma: "DUDE I DON'T WANT THAT LOONEY TOONS IN MY HOUSE. You nuke that son of a bitch, I don't care WHAT you do! Just make sure he's a burnt mark on the ground by the time I wake up." (COLLAPSES)
captainunload Well thanks! Last time I called myself a "writer" was back in high school. I should have explored it further years ago, and hell, I still may. Just haven't written a decent or unique thought in YEARS.
captainunload I've tried a few times over the years - or at least outlined various ideas. There's a good chance I'll try again, since a friend of mine never stopped and is honestly at his best, right now. No motivation like a friend surpassing you in every way!
Alexx1083 Years ago I started writing a novel. Its nearing the finish, and I look back over my old work and see how much its improved. Practice makes perfect, or at least it makes improvement.
This cut scene forever changed me. I remember as a kid, I was in shock when Sigma’s arm was ripped off. Still one of the fewer brutal cutscenes from my childhood🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
@@xRIGGSx1992 my brothers used to. Also, I’m currently 28. As a kid, I wasn’t as exposed to certain things just like this. Imagine being 8 years old and seeing this scene while in the dark. So yeah
@@RandaLeigh18 similar experience. wouldn't call it the most brutal but it was an impact. I remember sigma losing his his arm and thinking "oh this dudes fucked"
That's why using robots as a medium in video games is a good way to get past the ratings. Violence amongst robots, even human-looking ones, is still considered E for Everyone.
Expert Cypro No, Maverick Virus can be an upgraded result from the mixture of Roboenza + Evil Energy from Mega Man 8 (classic). But they are different viruses.
So Sigma became what Zero was supposed to be. Kinda feel bad for him... Sigma as a hero even used the blade and later, when Zero became a hero, he also used the blade. :/
I’m so surprised I’ve never heard anyone comment on how awesome the remix of zero’s theme is here. Really adds some tension to the scene listening to a far more violent and feral version of his music.
That always bugged me too. And why does it look like it's only 18 inches long when he's first holding it? And why does it look like it gets sliced in two during the fight? Does that mean he punched Sigma's arm off? The video is just all over the place.
I thought that too, but then I remembered that it takes about 10 sword swings to defeat a maverick boss in the games. Sigma broke that metal rod with about two or three swings of his sword. It actually makes decent sense!
man I remember playing Megaman X4 when I was a kid...I have to admit life was great and lately things haven't been...The past was a great gift enjoying now the Future is an unknown thing...
Dug the facial expressions and the brutality of the fight Zero and Sigma have in this clip. This was definitely my favorite scene in the game, due to the fact that it gives the X series a LOT of its backstory, such as before Zero was a good, and Sigma was evil. That Zero was the original carrier of the Maverick Virus before Sigma ended up wreaking havoc on humanity always blew my mind. The X series had so much potential at this point but after X4's greatness, Capcom really copped out =\
my god, If sigma hadn't got lucky with zero's headache, he would literally be dead. And from what I've seen, zero would have made a far more terrifying villain. Before he was rehabilitated, he was pure madness. He would have destroyed everything he saw.
thekaboominator1 Zero was with the Maverick Virus activated in him, that explains why he was acting all violent and villain-like. Also the virus could prevent him to going out of control, as Dr. Wily didn't want to destroy absolutelly everything, but just to be better than Dr. Light... An old rivalry.
X would've fucked Zero, eventually. There is no way DR.Light wouldn't forseee the situation and leave something for X. After all, no matter how strong Zero is with the virus, X was designed to have limitless growth potential and this is in terms of power.
@@Yokai_Yuri actually in megamanX5, they fought each other and both knocked down. It seems like Zero beats X first, but before laying down X used Soul body to make a draw (in X4 only X can use soul body, so it's him who used it in this battle). Then Sigma came, one more time Zero was the first one to wake up and protect the other. --> You can see that Zero is a litle bit more stronger but not enough to destroy X. In the game with Genmurei, Zero is invincible with an absolute power. He just need to release all of it. I have figured it out recently that X's unlimited potential is actually player's potential. Yes, it's ours, that's what the game try to tell us all the time.
The mere fact Zero won the duel with a pipe pretty much shows that his swordsmanship even in an early time like this was insanely powerful. Poor Sigma was kinda a pseudo-protagonist and wanted to save his men and ended up being one of the biggest victims of the mmx series after turning maverick and the main antagonist in the mean time eventually.
I like how they used his design from megaman x for this cinematic rather than carelessly using his x4 design with the bulkier body and the shoulder pads and such.
I like this movie more than the day of sigma,personally. Sure,the pic quality might be a little lower but the action sequence in it is loads better. Also,Zero rocks!
I never understood why, after this cutscene, Sigma's like, "YOU were a maverick?" What do you mean? We JUST saw that you were the one who knocked out Zero and had him repaired and studied. Don't tell me you forgot. Is this just bad translating?
I always figured it was a typo or something. Not only was Sigma there, but the whole reason that cutscene plays is because Sigma was actively reminding Zero of those events.
Zero just ripped apart a team of what are probably elite Maverick hunters and then proceedeed to beat the crap out of their big boss and rip off his arm, only stopped because he had a bit of an aneurysm. What a force of nature.
This cutscene, by far the best of the X series, confused the hell out of me when I first played this game back in '98. Even with the obvious appearance of Wily in the opening cutscene, I didn't think of Zero as an originally evil creation. Hell, I thought the this cutscene had occured during sometime in the MMX4 story; little did I know that it predated the events of even the first X game. Took several years and lots of internet reading to put all the pieces together.
Does anybody realize that zero didn't take sigmas ark apart with the pipe thingy, but tore it off with his bare hands? Imagine what sigma would look like if zero landed all those hits in the beginning
@@Thesuvivor24 this zero not even get upgraded with new z-buster and z-saber. no wonder Dr. Weil in Megaman Zero said Original Zero is god of destruction because he is made like that. remember in X5, X use ultimate armor canonically to fight awaken Zero, and it look almost draw but Zero get up first and block sigma attack on X. bro a menace.
"Commander, are you okay?" "I have one fucking arm, Jackass, what do you think?" For some reason Sigma's voice reminds me of Mrs. Bighead from Rocko's Modern Life.
I've just noticed how they accurately drew Zero into his older model in this scene (i.e round shouders) This kind of blunder is normally common in animes. Also, WTF is up with this comment section full of noobs that don't know shit about the Megaman X timeline??
I appreciated their accuracy in that regard as well. I imagine it helped that his classic design, being slightly less detailed, would be much easier to animate. On the subject of people not knowing shit about the timeline, I haven't noticed _that_ many clueless comments.
The Frost Dragon That doesn't really make sense to me. Zero was dead by the time X fought Sigma, and there's nothing to indicate that X salvaged Sigma's sword before his fortress exploded. Besides that, there's also the major size difference between the swords. I always figured the Z-Saber came with Zero's new body in X2, since they first appeared together. The new body came with upgrades (and booblights), so it makes sense that the sword would be one of those upgrades.
I really did love that subtle little detail. I just thought it was cool how Zero had his original MMX1 design. Also, if you look at his legs, you'll also see that he has just solid red and white boots, just like in MMX1.
Was really hard to believe that Sigma was originally a good guy. Usually good guys are not smiling with determination while fighting the bad guys. And also the bad guys just start to be more powerful than the good guys.
The dude probably had ego problems even before getting infected--notice he could have changed his fate if he had just used his beam saber from the start.
Zero fan, but after watching this back after 10 or so years, I was rooting for Sigma. The commander who went in one on one with Zero so that his men will not be sacrificed, ultimately sacrificing not only himself and his legacy.
At first it looks like sigma is enjoying that fight, then he realizes that zero is enjoying the fight way too much and even one of the strongest characters in the series is creeped out.
at first sigma is stronger because of his advance circuits and systems but as time goes on zero gets more and more relentless and stronger(maverick virus is leaking out of his capsule which is giving him strength and healing his wounds) and when the clash happens sigma loses his arm. after that zero toys with him until I think wily's failsafe goes into effect and stops him from going too berserk which gives sigma enough time to crack his skull but in doing so sigma is already infected with the virus but it takes longer due to his more advance systems
To think THIS is how Zero started! An evil Maverick created by Dr. Wily and as it turned out he had a virus inside him that somehow got into Sigma during this fight and that's how HE became the evil one then and I suppose after Zero was repaired he was then reprogramed into the good guy Maverick Hunter we know.
The biggest mistake Capcom ever did, was never make a full season of a Megaman X anime, considering how many mangas there are and games, there would have been so much to take from.
And now, a story-- The Wily Wars had taken their toll. By late 20XX only the original Masters remained and an aging Dr. Thomas Light was finally realizing the dream of his research, the elusive 'X factor' in robot autonomy of will. By this time, the entire first run of Light robots Masters had retired - they had fulfilled their great purpose, brought about a stability in each of their respective fields; Elec Master (they had de-gendered their titles as some had altered their forms over the years) revolutionized solar power containment grids, Guts Master made huge strides in construction so buildings were much stronger than ever before, Cut Master ensured sustainable forest/lumber management so future generations would have both wood and “the woods” and so forth -- The new line of large maintenance robots, the prototype line of mechanaloids, were handling the up-keep and processing of the advancements put in place by the L1 Robot Master line. Meanwhile, Wily's masters, having been defeated by Mega Man time and again -- space guardians and Roboenza not withstanding -- in fact the final line was destroyed by Protoman/Breakman ... but Rock and Roll would never see Blues again. This is when the Evil Doctor Wily created his Zero option, - with his newest discovery; nevermind Bassnium, Wily had created a sentient, self replicating, base-code Virus. The Wily Virus. It would be his master stroke against his, now hated, rival Dr. Light and his front-line enforcer Mega Man. With Wily's own powerful agent as a “patient Zero” of sorts... the Wily Virus would grant his genius immortality by taking control of every last Light produced robot and bending them to his will. However, at Light Labs, the good Dr. Thomas Light had just finished a semi-sentient holographic back-up of himself and was loading several recordings into it intended for later play-back upon activation. Several dozen of these Light capsules had been produced. They all held a share of advanced component materials, including his new 'Titanium-X' alloy, and data of experimental blue-prints. Seemingly the capsules would create the items over time refining to set specifications until deployment. At least that's what Auto figured they were for when Dr. Light explained they were to be loaded aboard the shuttle. Wily's plan was an all-or-nothing final assault - he would sacrifice himself to make it happen. His body anyway. Maintaining control over the creation of something as complex as the Wily Virus required everything he had - but if it worked, Thomas would be defeated forever… the Wily Wars had taken their toll… even on Albert Wily. At this point he hated Thomas and everything that wasn't built by his own twisted genius. This would be it, the end. Albert put his own ego and personality into the code for the virus, transposing them digitally from his own brain synapses. It was the final step. Once 'Patient Zero' was ready - (( He had planned to use Bass' old chassis... (the fate of Bass is a story unto itself, suffice to say he ended his own data-existence, in space, rather than take another order from Wily)... it was technically even stronger, but tests showed that it slowed 'patient Zero' down too much, Light's Titanium-X alloy proved superior in nearly every way, and Wily had stolen enough of it. Rather than a final insult Wily was bemused by the idea that Thomas' newest invention would form the hands that would end him. )) -- Wily recorded his final orders to be played upon activation and closed the capsule. He then set to work uploading the Wily Virus, ending his own physical existence, but gaining a strange immortality as his will for domination became a digital plague. Now we catch up to things we know - Thomas Light didn't survive to see X activated, leaving final notes and warnings programmed about his testing period of no less than 30 years. The X-Buster is, in fact, the Mega Buster Mk 17. Given how many times Mega Man had his upgraded we can assume this is a far flung hyper-advanced prototype given to X. All the same, Thomas Light yearned for a peaceful world with people and robots coexisting, so X is not heavily weaponized from the get-go, he's designed to be upgraded by new technology, some of which Thomas hadn't even built yet. (amazing) Though Wily's work on Zero was similar enough that eventually their tech proves compatible. ((X can upgrade by equipping Zero's 3-stage Blaster Arm.)) Zero attacks the Light Lab. The Robot Masters join the fight and lend their powers to Mega Man so he can go toe-to-toe with this 'new' red foe. The Masters, now nearly obsolete and very out of practice, are no match for the firepower and skill of this tall, quick, and strong newcomer. They fall, and as they do Zero learns something from each of their struggles against him… despite also being almost gleefully insane - the concentrated Wily Virus is doing a number on his programming… he can't copy their powers, but he internalizes their skills, influencing his own abilities, their training was now his. Mega Man was in over his head, but Rush was at his side, an e-tank ready to share and an advanced armor mode ready to activate. Auto loaded the last of the Light Capsules onto the rocket and, as Dr. Light bid him goodbye, he launched into orbit, just as the labs burst into flames below him… Mega Man had learned to combine powers when he held multiple at once. Blazing metal scissors, exploding 'Guts Punches,' Electric Ice . . . and Zero just kept coming... any helper bots or defense systems seemed to seize up when they targeted him and then go haywire, the Wily Virus sending them wild for a moment, self destructing or turning on the Lab and Mega Man. Not wanting to endanger Rush, Mega Man turned off their armor fuse state, but his loyal dog remained to the bitter end. The lab a ruin around them Rush took a blast meant for Mega Man, and when Roll pushed her way out of the wreckage - damaged, furious and terrifying to behold; Mega Man took the shot meant for her . . . The battle went on, Rock and Roll trading feints and blasts and blows with Zero always coming on... Eventually the fight reached Dr. Light -- blocking the secret entrance to 'X''s chamber. . . Injured, but always valiant, Rock and Roll went out together saving Dr. Light from a finishing blow; Protecting their father and self detonating in their attacker's face. Zero, now driven to frustration from the concentrated virus and severely damaged by the twins' joint sacrifice, determined Light's injuries were fatal and so might be his own. So he retreated to his repair capsule back at Wily's hidden lair. Light lived long enough to say his farewells to X, his last child and final testament of his brilliance and caring spirit, before sealing him away. Mega City built Dr. Light's memorial in front of City Hall and let the wind and grass cover the place of his tragic final moments. Auto released the capsules into decaying orbits in sets of 4 and 8 as instructed. He spent a lot of time in space, and upon his return to Earth helped revolutionize the fields of Space Colonization and orbital platforming (X5). Wily's revenge was incomplete. The Virus had to be spread, almost by touch, he had concentrated it so heavily into his Zero option. And with his 'delivery system' retreated back to its stasis capsule, well, there was no way to spread it any further - - for now.
Took me all this time to realise why X didn't have as many cutscenes in this game. X4 was to close the gap between the beginning and end of the X series hence why it showed zero was the original maverick and was the start of Sigma's rebellion.
And this is the moment you either thought wily was an evil genius badass who caused all of this or you absolutely hates him for putting all these characters through endless suffering…..or both
Its crazy to say this considering everything he's done... but watching this reminds me that, at the end of the day, Sigma himself is an innocent, good-hearted man. It truly is just the virus thats really evil
He was, but it's clear that the "current" Sigma is still self-aware and the maverick virus didn't turn him into a feral animal like Volt Kraken from X5. I think he could have been saved, but the Mother Elf destroyed him for good.
For those asking when this was. This is a cut scene in Mega man X4 when sigma gets to the final stage against sigma. Sigma reminds zero that it was once zero who was a maverick and sigma was a maverick hunter. This scene takes place before Mega Man X
Since X8 documents the New Generation Reploids as being a new threat to humanity and that Sigma was a pawn of Lunine from the very beginning, I always hoped (and still hope) that Sigma could come back as a good guy for X9. He seems like a pretty cool Maverick Hunter in this cutscene.

I really feel sorry for Sigma, he was never a bad guy, he turned into a villain in the games because the virus corrupted him, it wasn´t his fault
True. It wasn't his fault.
it's a pretty tragic fate for him,especially in maverick hunter x where he wants reploids potential to be like the freedom x has(always headcanoned with how the series all but states dr. wily's spirit lived on in the virus like dr. light with the capsules at least in x5 that he controlled sigma's actions when they went to destroying both humans and reploids corrupting & degrading his body in the process.) only to be taken over by the wily virus and become the megaman version of m. bison.
if he were to come back in x9 be interesting if they had him reflect on that or still had some of that care for reploid potential.

Yeah. It's hard to remember because of how twisted he became later on, but when Sigma was a Maverick Hunter, he was a genuinely good person. Probably a lot like how Zero is now. He became Maverick because of an accident really, but he never wanted that to happen. In my opinion, Sigma's actually the most tragic character in this series.
At this point I'm 100% inclined to agree.
Sapphire Valley I heard it was the nightmare virus
turntyle why did zero get all the cool animations in this game??
I know im late but maybe in the future, they can make an x game where zero is the antagonist and sigma takes on the role that zero plays in the original x games. Setting the carrot on the stick to encourage you to play the game, get good and become as powerful as he is. I wonder what would have happened if zero stayed a maverick and sigma stayed a genuinely good person and maverick hunter.
I love how beautifully this sets up the entire story. Zero, Dr. Wily's last and greatest creation, turned into a Reploid with a savior complex. Sigma, once a proud Commander who risked his life for his own, became the catalyst for the Maverick wars.
And not to mention, he ended up destroying his inner evil with INNER EVIL. Which is quite poetic because Zero was in a way a reflection of who Wily was in his youth.
Savior complex? The dude was too logical and efficient to think about stuff like being some kind of messiah. He acted and did the right things but he was kind of... cold, in a way (totally the opposite of X).
Actually that's another point of MMX4: to show you how a person that has his life ruled by pure logic and efficiency... shatters after seeing that not all things in the world can be solved with just mere fighting (AKA the really emotional trauma he suffered after killing Iris, someone he actually loved but, once again, his logical POV didn't let him realize that until it was too late).
Even though I never played any of the Mega Man X games this cutscene is the basis of the story.
ironic
Imagine if they made megaman games about the next Elf wars after the maverick wars bro that would have been dark af. That war went for a 100 years and wiped 90% of reploids and a good % of humanity
To anyone who isn't aware enough about the story,this moment is almost certain to be the exact moment in which Sigma got infected by the Willy Virus and turned evil afterwards.
Zero was Willy's last trump card and had the virus in him,so he probably infected Sigma during this fight.
It was right when Sigma punched Zero's head jewel that the virus transferred from Zero to Sigma.

with how sigma was portrayed in this,maverick hunter x/x8 and the series implying wily living on through the virus(headcanon his personality being different to the former 2 from wily controlling him somewhat with how they interact in x5.) it's a bit tragic that sigma went from a robot that cared for his men wanting them to have the freedom x has to an insane robot version of m. bison that wants to destroy and rule even if it meant destroying other reploids.
Nice profile pic, I love shadowrun haha
It's sad because Sigma wasn't a bad guy until Zero fucked him up with the Wily Virus.
I don't think going Maverick is necessarily catching a virus, but a robot being deprogrammed (or reprogrammed) to override human command and disregard their life.
Reny Bryant The "Sigma Virus" is shown doing exactly that throughout the games. Sigma originally contracted it from Zero in this fight, and then inadvertently spread it around. Zero was Wily's greatest creation, and the virus was part of his final insurance policy if Zero didn't destroy Dr. Light, Mega Man, and/or the world.
Yep. The moment Sigma broke that gem on Zero's helmet, he was infected. Then he started spreading it like herpes.
"like herpes" LMAO
We can sum up that the entire MegaMan X franchise exists because of Dr. Wily...
Kinda puts a damper on Sigmas final boss status when you see Zero solo him with a pipe.
+OmeQuicksilver That is before he got a huge upgrade through out the series after he was infected by the Maverick Virus
It makes more sense if you remember that no matter what hits Sigma in X1, he only receives one point of damage.
Lemon bullet? 1 damage.
Charge shot? 1 damage.
Metal pipe? 1 damage...
Zero's bare hands? _Arm falls off._
Haggar: Respect the pipe!
Then the same fucker blows himself up when trying to defeat Vile, and only manages to fuck up the Ride Armor. So many things can break the ride armor. Everything can. And Zero self-destructs. He could've spat on it.
@@cameronmoore7675 ik this is old comment but Rolling Shield actually does 2 damage
1:32, the fist bump that forever changed the Megaman universe.
2:50 Nooo... that was _THIS_ one....

I love seeing Sigma smugly dodge Zero’s rapid fire punches. This is why he was originally the Maverick Hunter commander.
that one moment when your actually rooting for sigma
When after Zero just rips Gamma Unit to shreds & nearly bodies poor Sigma to hell and back. Is no wonder why they ain't telling Iris or Ciel. OH wait, Ciel's gonna be in love.
was still rooting for zero, but ok.
Yeah was never rooting for Sigma..was laughing that Sigma had abeam sword and lost to a pipe

Well, Sigma was very powerful at this point and the fact he outmatching Zero for a brief moment and slowly losing ground tells how well designed Sigma was; however, nothing( not even X at that point, was a match to Zero) When Sigma became a Maverick, he could destroy Zero in a 1 v 1 and that is a fact. Zero in MMX was not a match to Vile who was designed to be a warmachine. In Maverick hunter X(PSP) despite being technically non cannon, they still expanded upon the fact Zero cant 1 v 1 Vile or he gets destroyed. From X5 onwards, Sigma has been destroyed with team effort.
Leave it to Zero to wipe out an entire unit and nearly kill off Sigma early.
*With his bare hands.*
Zero must of played College ball
NightshadeX1521 Seriously, man! xD

Sigma: WHY WON'T YOU DIE!!!?
Zero: Zero virus, son!!!

even if he killed cigma he will come back
At 1:22 and 1:40 you can tell Sigma realizes something is wrong and totally off about his opponent but seems to disregard it and remains confident he can win.

They should've just given Megaman X his own cartoon series the way they gave classic Megaman. I mean they did have a spin off episode where they teamed up but it still would've been cool to see X and Zero's story between the games.
"SIR! What...what happened to your arm?"
Sigma: "He punched it off."
"S...sir? He tore your arm off?!"
Sigma: "No. No he did not. He *punched* it off. He ran at me. Drew back his fist. Then, while I was winding up for a major sword strike, he punched off my arm."
"H-how is that even possible?"
Sigma: "YOU THINK I CARE HOW IT'S POSSIBLE?! HE PUNCHED. MY FREAKING. ARM. OFF. Now I gave him a solid F-you to the head, so he's out cold. You go in there and you INCINERATE that body, are we clear?"
"Sir, shouldn't we bring him back to the lab for----"
Sigma: "DUDE I DON'T WANT THAT LOONEY TOONS IN MY HOUSE. You nuke that son of a bitch, I don't care WHAT you do! Just make sure he's a burnt mark on the ground by the time I wake up." (COLLAPSES)

Maybe try writing a short story. No big commitment that way.

@@RandaLeigh18 similar experience. wouldn't call it the most brutal but it was an impact. I remember sigma losing his his arm and thinking "oh this dudes fucked"

the day zero infected sigma with his zero maverick virus hahaha
sigma got aids

Expert Cypro No, Maverick Virus can be an upgraded result from the mixture of Roboenza + Evil Energy from Mega Man 8 (classic).
But they are different viruses.

"commander, are you okay?"

He said “silence.”
@@WizardOfWor you missed the joke...
Sigma sounds like a chain smoker from outside of Boston.
ItalianStallion76 oh my fucking god
Now I want to see a video of Sigma singing "Something Just Like this"
Nope it's Ivysaur
Sounds like Donald Trump.
Sounds like Mark hamill
So Sigma became what Zero was supposed to be. Kinda feel bad for him... Sigma as a hero even used the blade and later, when Zero became a hero, he also used the blade. :/
I’m so surprised I’ve never heard anyone comment on how awesome the remix of zero’s theme is here. Really adds some tension to the scene listening to a far more violent and feral version of his music.
that moment when they are usually made mostly of metals yet when sigma walks it makes a squeaky sounds 😂😂😂
Thats a problem with all animes, in dbz is the same with organic and machine
so his sword could cut through reploids but not a metal rod.
That always bugged me too. And why does it look like it's only 18 inches long when he's first holding it? And why does it look like it gets sliced in two during the fight? Does that mean he punched Sigma's arm off? The video is just all over the place.
+cptnoremac pipes are OP in Capcom games
+Destroyahweapon True, remember Haggar's pipe? Shit was OP af
I thought that too, but then I remembered that it takes about 10 sword swings to defeat a maverick boss in the games. Sigma broke that metal rod with about two or three swings of his sword. It actually makes decent sense!
It took more than 3 slices probably took 5 given the light effect seen
man I remember playing Megaman X4 when I was a kid...I have to admit life was great and lately things haven't been...The past was a great gift enjoying now the Future is an unknown thing...
Well at least the future will bring Zero and ZX series remastered to us.
Dug the facial expressions and the brutality of the fight Zero and Sigma have in this clip. This was definitely my favorite scene in the game, due to the fact that it gives the X series a LOT of its backstory, such as before Zero was a good, and Sigma was evil. That Zero was the original carrier of the Maverick Virus before Sigma ended up wreaking havoc on humanity always blew my mind.
The X series had so much potential at this point but after X4's greatness, Capcom really copped out =\
Still waiting on an X9 & legends 3 😭
my god, If sigma hadn't got lucky with zero's headache, he would literally be dead. And from what I've seen, zero would have made a far more terrifying villain. Before he was rehabilitated, he was pure madness. He would have destroyed everything he saw.
+thekaboominator1 Give him the Z-saber and *BOOM*
thekaboominator1 Zero was with the Maverick Virus activated in him, that explains why he was acting all violent and villain-like.
Also the virus could prevent him to going out of control, as Dr. Wily didn't want to destroy absolutelly everything, but just to be better than Dr. Light... An old rivalry.
Poor Sigma, doomed himself with that punch.
X would've fucked Zero, eventually. There is no way DR.Light wouldn't forseee the situation and leave something for X. After all, no matter how strong Zero is with the virus, X was designed to have limitless growth potential and this is in terms of power.
@@Yokai_Yuri actually in megamanX5, they fought each other and both knocked down. It seems like Zero beats X first, but before laying down X used Soul body to make a draw (in X4 only X can use soul body, so it's him who used it in this battle). Then Sigma came, one more time Zero was the first one to wake up and protect the other.
--> You can see that Zero is a litle bit more stronger but not enough to destroy X. In the game with Genmurei, Zero is invincible with an absolute power. He just need to release all of it.
I have figured it out recently that X's unlimited potential is actually player's potential. Yes, it's ours, that's what the game try to tell us all the time.
The mere fact Zero won the duel with a pipe pretty much shows that his swordsmanship even in an early time like this was insanely powerful.
Poor Sigma was kinda a pseudo-protagonist and wanted to save his men and ended up being one of the biggest victims of the mmx series after turning maverick and the main antagonist in the mean time eventually.
Zero sounds like a child, a crazy child
Sm4shPr0 85ZX crazy child? sounds like kid buu
Sound Raichu
In a way I guess he was.
NO THAT IS GARY FROM POKEMON
I like how they used his design from megaman x for this cinematic rather than carelessly using his x4 design with the bulkier body and the shoulder pads and such.
Sigma sounds like he's got throat problems,
Zero sounds like a teenager,
And the soldier sounds like he's trying not to wake up his mom.
Good and cool 🙂
Zero had the Wahwee Virus XD

Robot: Commander! Are you okay ?
Sigma: I'm missing an arm and half my damn face is missing!! ...I'm good.

Zero = Shadow the Hedgehog
Sigma = Infinite the Jackal

I like this movie more than the day of sigma,personally. Sure,the pic quality might be a little lower but the action sequence in it is loads better.
Also,Zero rocks!
I love how Sigma's talking about the wiped out unit while smirking the whole time.
He *RELISHES* in the excitement of a _PROPER_ challenge for the

People say Mega Man X4 has bad cutscenes? This is... AWESOME!
Bad voice acting
@@wumper9691 this cutscene is honestly so good you can get over the bad voice acting.
X 4 is the best game in the series, no question about it.
Cutscenes were magnificent! Just the VOICES. darn those voices. I never thought sigma as a smoker....
But what *am* I fighting for, anyway?
I never understood why, after this cutscene, Sigma's like, "YOU were a maverick?" What do you mean? We JUST saw that you were the one who knocked out Zero and had him repaired and studied. Don't tell me you forgot. Is this just bad translating?
That part always confused the fuck outta me. This series has so many mistakes... Including full games.
I think he's just asking the question to be a dick
I always figured it was a typo or something. Not only was Sigma there, but the whole reason that cutscene plays is because Sigma was actively reminding Zero of those events.
cptnoremac I own the Japanese version of this game. I believe Zero is supposed to say "I was a Maverick?" But I could be wrong.
That would make more sense.
still better then 99% of all anime out right now
Fistagon777 true

Without question.
I feel like if this came out now, those green things on Zero’s chest would be much bigger.
What kinda meth you smoking? 🧐🧐
2:21 Lmmfao That Laugh Zero Does Kills Me Every Time
"Look its commander sigma!"
"Incredible, now i'm certain theirs no one who's a match for the commander. WHAT."
Zero just ripped apart a team of what are probably elite Maverick hunters and then proceedeed to beat the crap out of their big boss and rip off his arm, only stopped because he had a bit of an aneurysm. What a force of nature.
That hunter (sigma's man) sounds like a person from New Zealand... "Commander, are you aikaiii??"
+Raul Sanchez BY OSELF COMANDAH?
@@MarMak0204 HAHAHA TRUE!!!
Nah that thumbnail crazy💀
The day a good man dies.
This cutscene, by far the best of the X series, confused the hell out of me when I first played this game back in '98. Even with the obvious appearance of Wily in the opening cutscene, I didn't think of Zero as an originally evil creation. Hell, I thought the this cutscene had occured during sometime in the MMX4 story; little did I know that it predated the events of even the first X game. Took several years and lots of internet reading to put all the pieces together.
Wait sigma was the good reploid zero kinda brought out the sigma virus by it injecting sigma in the process thus making a 8 long seasons of Mega Man X
Don't forget there's still the Elf Wars to be presented
Does anybody realize that zero didn't take sigmas ark apart with the pipe thingy, but tore it off with his bare hands? Imagine what sigma would look like if zero landed all those hits in the beginning
He would already be dead, and Zero would have been the Sigma of megaman X
Zero strength is out of the normal, I always wondered how did he cut his arm, but I realize that he literally take it apart with just brutal strength.
@@Thesuvivor24 this zero not even get upgraded with new z-buster and z-saber. no wonder Dr. Weil in Megaman Zero said Original Zero is god of destruction because he is made like that. remember in X5, X use ultimate armor canonically to fight awaken Zero, and it look almost draw but Zero get up first and block sigma attack on X. bro a menace.
sigma whooped by zero, and his pride really hurt a lot o__O
"Commander, are you okay?"
"I have one fucking arm, Jackass, what do you think?"
For some reason Sigma's voice reminds me of Mrs. Bighead from Rocko's Modern Life.
I can't take Sigmas voice seriously! I can't stop laughing!😭😂
Yeah he sounds like he have a gigantic adam's apple covered in fats
He sounds like he was never a good guy to begin with.

I mention it since he is its creator
Because Dr. Cain created Sigma.
Boy, is Zero awesome. I'm new to MegaMan, but Zero is already my favorite character.
I've just noticed how they accurately drew Zero into his older model in this scene (i.e round shouders)
This kind of blunder is normally common in animes.
Also, WTF is up with this comment section full of noobs that don't know shit about the Megaman X timeline??
I appreciated their accuracy in that regard as well. I imagine it helped that his classic design, being slightly less detailed, would be much easier to animate.
On the subject of people not knowing shit about the timeline, I haven't noticed _that_ many clueless comments.
The Frost Dragon
That doesn't really make sense to me. Zero was dead by the time X fought Sigma, and there's nothing to indicate that X salvaged Sigma's sword before his fortress exploded. Besides that, there's also the major size difference between the swords.
I always figured the Z-Saber came with Zero's new body in X2, since they first appeared together. The new body came with upgrades (and booblights), so it makes sense that the sword would be one of those upgrades.
I really did love that subtle little detail. I just thought it was cool how Zero had his original MMX1 design. Also, if you look at his legs, you'll also see that he has just solid red and white boots, just like in MMX1.
Steel Lunpara you do realize that maverick hunter sigma and infected zero fought before zero got his saber right? He got that in x2.
Kiryu Ga Gotoku well they forgot the arm cannon....
Top 10 Reploids Anime Fights
Will you win this time
Was really hard to believe that Sigma was originally a good guy. Usually good guys are not smiling with determination while fighting the bad guys. And also the bad guys just start to be more powerful than the good guys.
The dude probably had ego problems even before getting infected--notice he could have changed his fate if he had just used his beam saber from the start.
Sigma grabs his beam saber.
Zero grabs a pipe.
Zero fan, but after watching this back after 10 or so years, I was rooting for Sigma. The commander who went in one on one with Zero so that his men will not be sacrificed, ultimately sacrificing not only himself and his legacy.
Words cannot express how much I love maverick'd-up Zero putting Smugma in his place.
That moment when one of your side characters has a better voice than both the main pro and antagonists.
At first it looks like sigma is enjoying that fight, then he realizes that zero is enjoying the fight way too much and even one of the strongest characters in the series is creeped out.
at first sigma is stronger because of his advance circuits and systems but as time goes on zero gets more and more relentless and stronger(maverick virus is leaking out of his capsule which is giving him strength and healing his wounds) and when the clash happens sigma loses his arm. after that zero toys with him until I think wily's failsafe goes into effect and stops him from going too berserk which gives sigma enough time to crack his skull but in doing so sigma is already infected with the virus but it takes longer due to his more advance systems
To think THIS is how Zero started! An evil Maverick created by Dr. Wily and as it turned out he had a virus inside him that somehow got into Sigma during this fight and that's how HE became the evil one then and I suppose after Zero was repaired he was then reprogramed into the good guy Maverick Hunter we know.
The biggest mistake Capcom ever did, was never make a full season of a Megaman X anime, considering how many mangas there are and games, there would have been so much to take from.
Ooh! Just nailed him! Right at the center of his helmet! 2:56
0:17 just me, or does Sigma's actor sound like he's trying to hold back his laughter?
😂
Also, very amusing when the "W" shows up in Zero's head crystal.
Dr. Wily's programming is all "YOU KILL MEGAMAN!! LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE!!!"
And now, a story--
The Wily Wars had taken their toll. By late 20XX only the original Masters remained and an aging Dr. Thomas Light was finally realizing the dream of his research, the elusive 'X factor' in robot autonomy of will. By this time, the entire first run of Light robots Masters had retired - they had fulfilled their great purpose, brought about a stability in each of their respective fields; Elec Master (they had de-gendered their titles as some had altered their forms over the years) revolutionized solar power containment grids, Guts Master made huge strides in construction so buildings were much stronger than ever before, Cut Master ensured sustainable forest/lumber management so future generations would have both wood and “the woods” and so forth -- The new line of large maintenance robots, the prototype line of mechanaloids, were handling the up-keep and processing of the advancements put in place by the L1 Robot Master line.
Meanwhile, Wily's masters, having been defeated by Mega Man time and again -- space guardians and Roboenza not withstanding -- in fact the final line was destroyed by Protoman/Breakman ... but Rock and Roll would never see Blues again.
This is when the Evil Doctor Wily created his Zero option, - with his newest discovery; nevermind Bassnium, Wily had created a sentient, self replicating, base-code Virus. The Wily Virus. It would be his master stroke against his, now hated, rival Dr. Light and his front-line enforcer Mega Man. With Wily's own powerful agent as a “patient Zero” of sorts... the Wily Virus would grant his genius immortality by taking control of every last Light produced robot and bending them to his will.
However, at Light Labs, the good Dr. Thomas Light had just finished a semi-sentient holographic back-up of himself and was loading several recordings into it intended for later play-back upon activation. Several dozen of these Light capsules had been produced. They all held a share of advanced component materials, including his new 'Titanium-X' alloy, and data of experimental blue-prints. Seemingly the capsules would create the items over time refining to set specifications until deployment. At least that's what Auto figured they were for when Dr. Light explained they were to be loaded aboard the shuttle.
Wily's plan was an all-or-nothing final assault - he would sacrifice himself to make it happen. His body anyway. Maintaining control over the creation of something as complex as the Wily Virus required everything he had - but if it worked, Thomas would be defeated forever… the Wily Wars had taken their toll… even on Albert Wily. At this point he hated Thomas and everything that wasn't built by his own twisted genius. This would be it, the end. Albert put his own ego and personality into the code for the virus, transposing them digitally from his own brain synapses. It was the final step.
Once 'Patient Zero' was ready - (( He had planned to use Bass' old chassis... (the fate of Bass is a story unto itself, suffice to say he ended his own data-existence, in space, rather than take another order from Wily)... it was technically even stronger, but tests showed that it slowed 'patient Zero' down too much, Light's Titanium-X alloy proved superior in nearly every way, and Wily had stolen enough of it. Rather than a final insult Wily was bemused by the idea that Thomas' newest invention would form the hands that would end him. )) -- Wily recorded his final orders to be played upon activation and closed the capsule. He then set to work uploading the Wily Virus, ending his own physical existence, but gaining a strange immortality as his will for domination became a digital plague.
Now we catch up to things we know - Thomas Light didn't survive to see X activated, leaving final notes and warnings programmed about his testing period of no less than 30 years. The X-Buster is, in fact, the Mega Buster Mk 17. Given how many times Mega Man had his upgraded we can assume this is a far flung hyper-advanced prototype given to X. All the same, Thomas Light yearned for a peaceful world with people and robots coexisting, so X is not heavily weaponized from the get-go, he's designed to be upgraded by new technology, some of which Thomas hadn't even built yet. (amazing) Though Wily's work on Zero was similar enough that eventually their tech proves compatible. ((X can upgrade by equipping Zero's 3-stage Blaster Arm.))
Zero attacks the Light Lab.
The Robot Masters join the fight and lend their powers to Mega Man so he can go toe-to-toe with this 'new' red foe. The Masters, now nearly obsolete and very out of practice, are no match for the firepower and skill of this tall, quick, and strong newcomer. They fall, and as they do Zero learns something from each of their struggles against him… despite also being almost gleefully insane - the concentrated Wily Virus is doing a number on his programming… he can't copy their powers, but he internalizes their skills, influencing his own abilities, their training was now his.
Mega Man was in over his head, but Rush was at his side, an e-tank ready to share and an advanced armor mode ready to activate.
Auto loaded the last of the Light Capsules onto the rocket and, as Dr. Light bid him goodbye, he launched into orbit, just as the labs burst into flames below him…
Mega Man had learned to combine powers when he held multiple at once. Blazing metal scissors, exploding 'Guts Punches,' Electric Ice . . . and Zero just kept coming... any helper bots or defense systems seemed to seize up when they targeted him and then go haywire, the Wily Virus sending them wild for a moment, self destructing or turning on the Lab and Mega Man. Not wanting to endanger Rush, Mega Man turned off their armor fuse state, but his loyal dog remained to the bitter end.
The lab a ruin around them Rush took a blast meant for Mega Man, and when Roll pushed her way out of the wreckage - damaged, furious and terrifying to behold; Mega Man took the shot meant for her . . . The battle went on, Rock and Roll trading feints and blasts and blows with Zero always coming on... Eventually the fight reached Dr. Light -- blocking the secret entrance to 'X''s chamber. . . Injured, but always valiant, Rock and Roll went out together saving Dr. Light from a finishing blow; Protecting their father and self detonating in their attacker's face. Zero, now driven to frustration from the concentrated virus and severely damaged by the twins' joint sacrifice, determined Light's injuries were fatal and so might be his own. So he retreated to his repair capsule back at Wily's hidden lair. Light lived long enough to say his farewells to X, his last child and final testament of his brilliance and caring spirit, before sealing him away. Mega City built Dr. Light's memorial in front of City Hall and let the wind and grass cover the place of his tragic final moments.
Auto released the capsules into decaying orbits in sets of 4 and 8 as instructed. He spent a lot of time in space, and upon his return to Earth helped revolutionize the fields of Space Colonization and orbital platforming (X5).
Wily's revenge was incomplete. The Virus had to be spread, almost by touch, he had concentrated it so heavily into his Zero option. And with his 'delivery system' retreated back to its stasis capsule, well, there was no way to spread it any further - - for now.
Ladies and gentlemen, we just witnessed Zero having a Maverick moment.
No one ever: Sigma should get his own game detailing his descent into madness and learning the truth about Zero.
It’s called Mega Man Maverick Hunter X and Mega Man X4

Took me all this time to realise why X didn't have as many cutscenes in this game. X4 was to close the gap between the beginning and end of the X series hence why it showed zero was the original maverick and was the start of Sigma's rebellion.
X5 was supposed to be the final X game.

Are you like, still alive?
Its crazy to say this considering everything he's done... but watching this reminds me that, at the end of the day, Sigma himself is an innocent, good-hearted man. It truly is just the virus thats really evil
yeah. Sigma is also just a victim of the virus.
He was, but it's clear that the "current" Sigma is still self-aware and the maverick virus didn't turn him into a feral animal like Volt Kraken from X5. I think he could have been saved, but the Mother Elf destroyed him for good.
For those asking when this was. This is a cut scene in Mega man X4 when sigma gets to the final stage against sigma. Sigma reminds zero that it was once zero who was a maverick and sigma was a maverick hunter. This scene takes place before Mega Man X
zero sounds like a whiny child and sigma sounds like he was stoned
Since X8 documents the New Generation Reploids as being a new threat to humanity and that Sigma was a pawn of Lunine from the very beginning, I always hoped (and still hope) that Sigma could come back as a good guy for X9. He seems like a pretty cool Maverick Hunter in this cutscene.
He won't. He became so corrupted with the W Virus, he isn't sentient anymore.
Wow. Never knew that Doctor Wily could construct such a reploid with his bare hands.
2:13 This is why Zero is the one and only saber user in megaman.
Victor Wilson even sigma and x used it
Compilation of saber users in Mega Man: Sigma, Zero, X in base form, X in Third Armor, X in Ultimate Armor, X in Falcon Armor, X in Blade Armor, X in Phantom Armor, Agile, Dynamo, Megaman.EXE/Hub Hikari (requires sword-based Battle Chips), Protoman.exe (it's literally part of him; also has access to the aforementioned Battle Chips), the dark forms of the above two, Sage Harpuia, Model Z, Model ZX, Model H, Model HX, and any NetNavis or EM Wave humans with access to sword Battle Chips. If Sigma had a biometal, he'd be in this list, too. This list is incomplete; if you know how to make a Mega Man fangame, you can expand this list with new characters and special weapons.
That thumbnail is the first time Sigma said "OH GOD WHY"
