What break this armor is the almost instant charge shot. It wrecks bosses hard. This even enable it to just stand there and tank through the bosses even though its defense is not greater than Falcon or Fourth Armor, because its buster would just whoop them before they can do any significant damage. The slowdown from the armor can be mitigated by good reflexes and skills
Bro, I shouldn't have underestimated it.This armor makes X5 one of the most easiest game in the series.Plus,with this armor,you don't need to collect parts.IMHO,the only hard bosses for Gaea Armor is The Skiver and Sigma 1st.Skiver because you can die instantly by falling from the plane if you won't dodge him and Sigma 1st because he has attack with huge damage,which is hard to dodge with Gaea Armor. "It can only be surpassed by I-Buster/H-Head combination" Yes,but it can be also surpassed by Shadow Armor with Quick Charge part
I mean it's basically that Falcon and Gaea are polar opposites One is mobility and the other is power The reason people often choose Falcon is because the Gaea armor despite being a powerhouse of an armor, it reduces mobility of the player
The worst is Glide Armor 😂. Just Glide and Giga Crash like X2…. Nothing special. Upgraded buster just added 3 little cute homings with Charged Shot….😂 like no differences
This armor makes the boss so much easyer. With those spikes coming out of the ceeling flore and walls one hit and it's instant death without this armor.
I have to agree with you there. something about normal playthroughs of mega man without the no damage challenge that is just better. I think you summed it up perfectly though it comes off as more natural.
I prefer this armor over the Falcon armor since it makes you impervious to spikes, and for some reason, I always try to air dash with the Falcon armor during the Rangda Bangda spike fest and fucking die.
FINALLY!! A video of someone actually using the armor the way its meant to be used and not another one talking down on this greatly misunderstood armor. I swear most people just don't know how to play. Megaman has so many fans but 80% of them suck at the games
Man I love the Gaea Armor. It's like the Power Adaptor from Mega Man 6 but better, and I already play that game with the Power Adaptor almost exclusively
Same, but the reason why I love the armor is because of the heavy industrial asthetic it has, the fact that it even has actual weight in game makes it the best, definitely the most broken armor.
My first time completing X5 was with the Gaea Armor. I never understood why people despised it. Who cares about lack of special weapons and armor parts when I have immediate Charge Shot firing, immunity from spikes, capable of sticking on walls, and high defense versus other X armors! My final battles lasted longer which grew in my favor, and prolong the use of my E-Tank rechargers to replenish my life gauge.
Well. Not so broken as we know it's slower, can't use SP & its buster is limited in range. Also, we have to collect all of its parts to use rather than instantly equips it once acquiring. So its high priority worths it.
@@MochicoArtemis well. Shadow Armor isn't slow. Beside, buster damage of it is weaker than Gaia. And about looking cool, literally every armor of X is cool.
I always loved using this armor in these sigma stages because how good it was. Honestly I always loved it and don't know why it get so much hate, never really liked the falcon armor because I learned the stages and got good at them so I didn't see the point in using a weak armor just to fly
Replayed recently and choosed to skip most bosses until i got the Gaea. It was one the most fun runs i had in this game. Just sad i didn't had the skill to do Zero Stage 1. Would have loved to destroy Shadow Devil with this armor...

Gaea Armor makes you feel like a terminator
Gaea Armor - that everyone hates so much and claimed to be the worst armor in the Megaman X history is actually pretty OP.
I mean it's basically that
Falcon and Gaea are polar opposites
One is mobility and the other is power
The reason people often choose Falcon is because the Gaea armor despite being a powerhouse of an armor, it reduces mobility of the player
The worst is Glide Armor 😂. Just Glide and Giga Crash like X2…. Nothing special. Upgraded buster just added 3 little cute homings with Charged Shot….😂 like no differences

I prefer gameplay videos like this instead of all the boring typical Perfect-No-Damage Speedrun, looks more natural and adventurous.
I have to agree with you there. something about normal playthroughs of mega man without the no damage challenge that is just better. I think you summed it up perfectly though it comes off as more natural.
Both. Both is good.
I prefer this armor over the Falcon armor since it makes you impervious to spikes, and for some reason, I always try to air dash with the Falcon armor during the Rangda Bangda spike fest and fucking die.
Not broken. Powerful but slow and doesn't have air dash, balanced.
And that's why I ALWAYS use the Gaea armor for this stage. More specifically, the second stage for the boss lmao.
Love this video, because you’re using the Gaea Armor as it’s meant to be used, and how quickly the bosses die really show that.
YO PHOENIX

He eats damage can be evade easy n was very funny how the bear evade the giga attack

Wait a minute.
Jet Adaptor and Power Adaptor in 6.
Falcon Armor and Gaea Armor in X5.
Do you think they were inspired by Megaman 6?
@@HarbingerYT X5 drew a lot of inspiration from previous Mega Man games since X5 was intended to be the last game in the X series originally.
Ah yes my favorite armor of all Megaman X
It only took numerous Megaman games to finally make an armor that can say screw you to spikes. Spikes, Spikes, Spikes!

2:27 such a great clip
The Gaea armor is a boss destroyer
Well. Not so broken as we know it's slower, can't use SP & its buster is limited in range.
Also, we have to collect all of its parts to use rather than instantly equips it once acquiring. So its high priority worths it.
yet the Shadow Armor has most of those issues, but is just way better and also looks cooler than the Gaea Armor
@@MochicoArtemis well.
Shadow Armor isn't slow.
Beside, buster damage of it is weaker than Gaia.
And about looking cool, literally every armor of X is cool.
And people say this armor is trash.
I always loved using this armor in these sigma stages because how good it was. Honestly I always loved it and don't know why it get so much hate, never really liked the falcon armor because I learned the stages and got good at them so I didn't see the point in using a weak armor just to fly
Welcome to X Dive
It may be slow but no one can deny that it has a good X buster, the Gaea armor does serve me well.
if shadow armor has the x buster instead ;-)
The one dislike is SomecallmeJohnny
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Mateoski97 how much dmg on that ultimate the one look like kamehameha
Now what it maded it to X DiVE lets see if its still broken like in this game
The tank type X
Are we gonna ignore the fact that the gaea armor disable your spiecal ability that you get from bosses after defeating them
Replayed recently and choosed to skip most bosses until i got the Gaea. It was one the most fun runs i had in this game.
Just sad i didn't had the skill to do Zero Stage 1. Would have loved to destroy Shadow Devil with this armor...
Did they redo some of the sound effects in the Legacy Collection? It sounds different.
If it tanks spikes is OP
How are you firing so fast? Are you using Rapid fire?
Gaea Armor charges instantly.
you can as well equip the quick charge upgrade, this will mimic the speed charge of the gaea armor
@@Mateoski97yes I know that the Gaea Armour’s Arm Parts charge very fast, but I mean if he’s using Rapid Fire enabled to fire the Buster so fast.
No, I was using normal fire and manual charging.
But I can’t lie the armor is cooler then the falcon armor
Skill issue from the fans
no dark devil? no OP xD
Shadow Devil is a hard boss no matter who you pick.
@@Mateoski97 you can literally
a. stick on the top right or left wall with Gaea
b. fly to the top middle with falcon
Very exploitable fight
@@SleepyReapy32 spam nova strike if you use the ultimate armor cheat
@@marcosandrey5059 That's going to get you killed on Shadow Devil.
