#MEGAMAN X5 BOSS LEVEL HOW TO#

Additionally it takes Zero a few seconds to charge up and actually fire, so if something hits him before he gets the shot off, you lose the shot altogether. You have to be standing on the ground to use it and you cannot be moving while you fire. Unfortunately though the control for the buster makes it less than useful.

Zero not only has his saber as in the previous game, but he can also fire his arm cannon here as well.

So if you save right before the final station (the one with the teleporting hatches and Sigma) you can restart there, thereby skipping the previous stages.

Unlike passwords, saved games remember what station of the вЂњfortressвЂќ you were at when you saved.

(Although of course youвЂ™d have no items or weapons to use on the fortress.

In fact itвЂ™s theoretically possible to beat the game without entering any of the MavericksвЂ™ stages.

You donвЂ™t necessarily have to clear all eight initial stages.

Your weapons get refilled with every life as well. This means you essentially have unlimited lives (and makes the EX Tank useless).

Choosing вЂњContinueвЂќ after you lose all your lives places you at the same place where you would have ended up had you still had a life left (!).

The horizontal ones can significantly alter a stage strategy but the vertical ones really didnвЂ™t need to be included since X and Zero can already climb up walls and ladders. There are ropes, both vertical and horizontal, which Zero and X can grab.Note that you can alter the height of your shots by attacking while ducking.

So you have to think differently about how to defeat certain enemies.

Unlike nearly every Mega Man game ever made, XвЂ™s shots cannot go through walls in this game.

If you start the game using X, he begins the game with the entire armor set from the previous game (!).

Each suit of armor has specific properties and drawbacks as a whole, similar to the Rush suit Adapters in the original series.

You get armors as entire sets rather than equipping them in pieces.

Note: There are no major plot differences related to who you choose however who you pick at the very beginning does determine what kind of capabilities X and Zero have.

ThatвЂ™s a slight improvement over Mega Man X4 where you went through the entire game as one character, and the other sort of camped out and ate donuts or something while you were risking your neck on your own. However here you can make a new selection before each stage you arenвЂ™t stuck with one character for the entire game. Like Mega Man X4, you can choose to play as either X or Zero.) Are X and Zero really centuries old? How could the Reploid Wars have been going on for centuries and itвЂ™s still only 21XX? How could DNA be retrieved from robots? How could a robot mutate? Why do the Maverick Hunters need a specific ocean to get hydrogen? Why would Zero think itвЂ™s odd that you canвЂ™t вЂњtrust SigmaвЂќ? Why are all the good-guy Reploids human-like, whereas all the ones which go Maverick are almost invariably animaloid? Why do the Mavericks insist on fighting you when they havenвЂ™t yet gone Maverick? Why is Grizzly an arms dealer if he disagrees with fighting and destruction? What does he expect people to do with the stuff he sells? Why are minor robots in the stages referred to as вЂњReploidsвЂќ? I thought only robots created based on XвЂ™s design are Reploids (although how a mushroom or a whale are anything like XвЂ™s design is anyoneвЂ™s guess. Cain? (He was never useful for anything anyway. What happened to the humans? If there are no humans left who is building Reploids? If there are humans left, what happened to Dr. The only way to stop it is to blow up the colony, either by building a powerful laser cannon to fire at it, or by building a shuttle and sending it on a kamikaze trip to crash into the colony.

The virus causes most robots to go Maverick and sets the space colony known as Eurasia on a collision-course with Earth. Sigma attacks the Maverick Hunters base, then explodes, somehow managing to cover the entire planet with his virus with that one simple explosion (whereвЂ™s the Maverick Hunter base again?).
