    The Model P Video is out! Watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/Ine4ktyoeb0/v-deo.htmlsi=v6q2owZOla7J1bMy
    This video’s a lot longer because there’s so much to talk about, let me know if I made any incorrect facts or mistakes, and criticism I’ll always listen to!
    Edit: Damage stacking is possible against minibosses in Advent, if you are really close to the miniboss, and use the Sonic Boom combo, the saber and Sonic Boom will hit the boss at the same time. You can also do this against Queenbee’s hive with the Tornadoes and the Air Slash.
    Thanks for cafequente and morgatious for pointing this out to me.
    This video, and the other ones in this series, have CC, as YT cc does mess up certain words and phrases.

      This is mostly a good write up, but it bugs me you keep calling it "Model H" across its incarnation in both games, even though they have differences. In ZX, it's Model HX for a reason. Biometal H is fragmented into two parts, and it only works for Vent/Aile when melded with X. It looks different, and the merging with Model X gives it powers it doesn't otherwise have. In Advent, it's fine to call it Model H, but it is a substantially different character, they even look different.

      ⁠@@bunnyofepicnessI called both of them Model H so I could have a easier time when recording the voiceovers, and as a way to refer to both of them. I can see how that would be weird though.

    I'm at the start and I want to clarify two things: Model Hx is overpowered, but the individual Model H got rebalanced in ZXA to be much less powerful.
    For ZXA, there's two things that happened:
    - The tornado got massively nerfed for both versions of it, it no longer does half a bar of HP in damage neutrally. Or at least, not easily.
    - The combo system got removed in ZXA, or at the very least functions massively differently, so you can no longer chain high damaging moves together to reduce boss HP in seconds with Model H.
    ZXA also has the titular Model ZX buffed to absurd degrees. The affectionately named "pizzacut" tears apart HP bars and completely overshadowed what Model H could do.

      For Model Hx? Probably, but it's also likely a combination of factors, because Harpuia summons a tornado in Z1(albeit not to do damage) as can be seen in this video at 31 seconds in:
      ua-cam.com/video/k-Jy5pDbgGY/v-deo.htmlsi=PcOxLNsgUjyBaLLE

      ​​@@aliesterus1.023They're actually direct references to X's Special Weapons, which makes sense since you're essentially using Model X all throughout MMZX, as it allows you to assimilate the other biometals just like X would when defeating a boss.
      Hx Tornado = Charged Storm Tornado
      Lx Ice Sled = Charged Shotgun Ice
      Fx Ground Flame = Charged Fire Wave
      Px Barrier = Charged Rolling Shield
      (Hx also has a purple Lightning Orb that is similar to Electric Spark. It doesn't work the same way but but uses the same element)

    It's interesting to note that in ZXA, you can still perform damage stacking, but only on specific enemies
    For some reason, if an enemy is electrocuted, any slash attacks will damage stack with themselves.

    In my first Playthrough of ZX I can definitely say that Model HX was my most used, it has got to be my most favorite due to how much inaccessible areas become available for exploration, I didn’t use it much for bosses since I was on Normal Mode the first time but I might fall back on it for the Hard Mode Playthrough I’m currently doing. If I could become one model irl it would be HX I always wanted to fly and that model makes me feel like I can do anything and get almost anywhere.

    I think it's good to have an overpowered Model in this game - the same as I appreciate Metal Man's Metal Blade.
    I didn't really appreciate Metal Blade in MM2 until I realized on the internet how powerful it actually was.
    However, in ZX, I realized immediately that I was playing as Model H far more often than other models like Fx or Px.
    It wasn't until I felt free to experiment that I realized that Fx and Px could be overpowered too if you develop skills to use them.
    Overall, this game was very difficult, but once you understand how to properly use Biometals, it gets easier.
    I DID NOT APPRECIATE the biometal damage and I definitely liked Advent's ditching of the damage system.

  • @TheFearsomeRat
    @TheFearsomeRat 3 місяці тому

    Model H's water area weakness is a lot less because of Queen Bee and Chronoforce, Bee can still fly in water just fine and Chronoforce can slow everything, and you still have Model L to use as well, so it does feel like despite the nerf it takes you also feel what is arguably Model H's main weakness a lot less.

      It terms of bosses overall, Model OX is definitely better (except against Fire Bosses) But Model H is better in terms of how much you use it in the game overall, which is almost all of it.
      Not saying Model OX is bad, not at all, but in terms of the stages, bosses, and overall game, Model H is used more.
      I agree that Model O is an absolute monster in Mega Man ZX though, no wonder it’s unusable until you beat the game.

    Sonic Boom slash 8/4
    Sonic Boom projectile 6/3
    Air slash 7/3
    Dash slash 8/4
    Energy ball 6/3
    And tornado 2 damage per hit
    That being said, how'd you get the damage values? Personally, I couldn't find them on the web, so what I did was use each move on a fire boss in game (with overdrive on), see how many health points it took and then cut it in half. I may have made a mistake, of course

    Personally I've never seen Model H as overpowered. It can slice through certain bosses and minibosses very quickly and as such is something of a speedrunning meta, but in regards to actually making fights easier, you can demolish enemies with Models ZX, X, and especially Ox just fine. ZX is particularly noteworthy because it's not only the only one of the three that doesn't require you to beat the final boss to keep permanently, and you get it very early on into the game. It's actually quite easy to win every fight using only ZX.

    • @PhoenixYT9838
      @PhoenixYT9838  3 місяці тому +2

      Yeah definitely, in Mega Man ZX, Model H can very easily sweep the bosses it’s good against, it doesn’t mean the others are bad, but Model H can kill most bosses faster than Model X and ZX can. Again, it doesn’t mean the other models are bad at killing bosses at all, and those models are better overall against bosses, as they don’t have the weakness against Ice bosses Model H does. I still see it as pretty powerful though, mostly because as with Model ZX, you can get it pretty early. That definitely got me thinking though, thanks for the comment!

      @@PhoenixYT9838 To be clear, I wasn't saying that you were saying that other models are bad, I was just drawing a distinction between "fast" and "overpowered". Overpowered carries the connotation of trivializing fights, but in the case of Model H in comparison to ZX for example, it doesn't make most fights easier, you just win certain ones faster.

    • @PhoenixYT9838
      @PhoenixYT9838  3 місяці тому +1

      Yeah, good point. The bosses don’t become an instant win, you still have to be good at the game and dodge their attacks. And while the term overpowered can be associated with easiness, something can still be overpowered and not easy to use and master. But yeah, Model H just makes those fights it’s good against go faster, as you still have to be good at the game for them to be easy. I think Fire bosses could be arguable as being easier, but you still have to be good at the game in general, and know when to use Model H and the Overdrive to kill those bosses faster. iirc, Blazin Flizard’s tail makes it to where you can get hit if you do the Air Slash to stun him, then Dash Slash to pass through him. So if you time your attacks wrong, or use the wrong ones, you’ll get hit by the tail. But yeah, you have a good point, Model H generally makes the fights go faster, and it doesn’t mean they’re easier.
