    Which route did you prefer, X or Zero's?

      in game route? Zero
      ending? Both

      While most would say Zero, I like X's since his theme and Double's theme are some of my favourite music tracks from the whole series.

      Zero is the only character I see in the select screen.
      Playing Zero just feels right. Based. Whatever adjective you want to use.
      Playing X is fun too but its not the same.

      The better way to phrase that is "Which route COULD you do" because I never as a child and never as an adult beat Zero's side neither could my friend nor his dad 🤣 we figured he was just for higher difficulty but I now understand that we was playing him like X and not differently like he needs to, he needs to be played very quickly with a solid understanding of fighting game move mechanics which I suck horribly at, I can never get basic combo moves right no matter what, we would get close to the ending finally past the middle part and I was the first to beat colonel and Iris was easier but even together we never beat all the levels and knowing the absolute insane ending there would be no way we could've done it with Zero back then
      Try listening to the Lagoon intro music in Sega Genesis format

    Much of the English cast for Megaman 8 was reused for X4. Particularly, the lady who voiced Megaman recorded lines that wound up being used for X in X4; there's videos about that...and yes, she actually confirmed that. Crazier yet, according to her, those lines were recorded in 1993...so that was done while 7 & X3 were still in development...which is nuts.
    Kudos on using the Battle Network 1-3 victory fanfare as your outro, that is so fitting!!

    About Iris, I remember read it somewhere that she become Irregular Hunter's operator as some kind of exchage program in Xtreme 2, that is where she and Colonel knew Zero and we can assuming from there Zero and Iris are dating :3

    DYK: In the Korean version of Mega Man X4(록맨 X4), Zero’s moves are shown in their Hanja pronunciations:
    Ryuenjin/龍炎刃(りゅうえんじん)=용염인(Yong Yeom In)
    Hyouretsuzan/氷列斬(ひょうれつざん)=빙렬참(Bing Yeol Cham)
    Raijingeki/雷神撃(らいじんげき)=뇌신격(Noe Shin Gyeok
    Shippuga/疾風牙(しっぷが)=질풍아(Jil Pung Uh)
    Kuenbu & Kuenzan/空円舞&空円斬(くうえんぶ&くうえんざん=공원무 & 공원참(Gong Won Mu & Gong Won Cham)
    Hienkyaku/飛燕脚(ひえんきゃく)=비연각(Bi Yeon Gak
    Rakuhoha/落鳳破(らくほは)=낙봉파(Nak Bong Pa)
    Tenkuha/天空覇(てんくは)=천공패(Cheon Gong Pae)
    This applies for X5 and X6 as well :P

    hot dang that intro slaps, kinda reminds me of gaming broduction that uses lofi music and a bunch of clips from different video games. the production value here is fantastic! i hope your channel grow and see more cool stuff here man and great video btw!

    @1:37 This is the first I've heard of MMX3 being the last in the X series. Where was this stated? It be very weird if it did end at X3 as it was hinting about the X and Zero fight in the future.
    Also Iris is in Mega Man Xtreme 2 which takes place between X3 and X4 and gives more info to her though I agree X4 should have develop more on it's own terms.

    • @WesDoesGames

      Less to do with the story being complete and more to do with Sony not wanting 2d games on the ps1 initially

    And I'm still asking today: Where is X9?!?!?!
    Because talking about right directions and improvements, X8 was a step in the right direction after... well... the game that should be burnt to the ground!

    • @WesDoesGames
      @WesDoesGames  5 місяців тому

      BURN! BURN TO THE GROUND!!
      Yeah X8 was definitely better than X7, which may honestly have been the worst game I've ever played. I think the Maverick Hunter series was the direction they chose to go instead of X9, but then that fizzled out

  • @Magikarp-4ever

    I completely agree it doesn't have any cohesiveness with storytelling why is Zero fighting Iris does she love him or does she love her brother more?? Also glad you mentioned the bitching music ♥️♥️♥️♥️ if only Zero wasn't so fking difficult to play as 🙄

    This game was too hard for my 8 years old self. I ended up spending a month to beat all the bosses without any guide whatsoever

    • @WesDoesGames

    Let’s goooooooo! First comment🤌🏽
    Never did play the X games after 2. Couldn’t afford them as I was growing up. And 2 was only played cause Toys R Us had it on display
