This is an addendum to the Mega Man X5 Improvement Project by DarkSamus993.
It started in 2019 as a restoration of graphics, songs and voice clips from the japanese version and unused soundtrack. In 2021, development resumed with the inclusion of a retranslated script and several new features. The amount of work put on this is now comparable to what's been done in X6 Tweaks. And even though there isn't (and there won't be) a patching tool.
- Parts Unlocking:
No need to waste "hours". All available in a single playthrough.
- Get Life Up/Energy Up at any level
- Get Life Up+/Energy Up+ (Parts) at any level
- Get both Parts regardless of Life Up+/Energy Up+ selection.
- Enigma/Shuttle RNG exceptions:
- Enigma/Shuttle launch with no parts will always fail.
- Shuttle launch with all 4 parts will always succeed.
- Stage modifications:
- Tidal Whale's Stage: Auto-scrolling segments run faster (100-125% horizontally, 150% horizontally).
- Tidal Whale's Stage: U-5555 (mini boss): smaller health bar (75%), but deals more damage (about 150% each attack).
- Dark Necrobat's Stage: slowdown gimmick removed
- Zero Space 1: the inner walls in the laser segments are now not grabbable
- Incomplete Armors:
- Armors can now be selected as soon as you get a part for it. While incomplete, they'll be displayed as unarmored X with a custom palette (see details below)
- Gameplay:
- Dark Hold: can be cancelled.
- F-Splasher behaves like a regular air dash (can be cancelled)
- W-Shredder: input changed to Dash + Special
- Disabled double tap dash input
- Falcon Armor: gets a custom air dash with the same properties as the "free move" flight.
- Gaea Armor: can slide down walls by pressing down. Dash speed penalty removed.
- Rebalancing:
- Gaea Armor: buster damage against common enemies increased.
- Z-Saber: damage against main bosses decreased.
- Z-Buster: startup delay sligthly reduced.
- Longer/harder "X vs. Zero" fight (damage tables reduced)
- QoL:
- Alia's hints can be turned off from the options menu
- Cutscenes and dialogues skip by pressing START
- Cheat Code to unlock Ultimate Armor will keep the Fourth Armor selectable
- Cheat Codes to unlock Ultimate Armor and Black Zero can be combined
- Faster pause menu transitions
- Exit Button always available, can be used to skip intro stage

I get all the "revised translation" thing, but man I miss Dynamo's "Adiós, amigo!".
-
42:07 Dr. Light lying to Zero even he knows the answer & he wont let Zero feel down if he tells anything. Some of unique side of X5.
-
Zero is my all time favorite character. I love it.
-
After I watch this video I learn: 1. Spike instant death negated when time stop 2. I can push boxes once zero get Tidal Whale DNA 3. Zero Shadow from Axel The red DNA can destroy wall on Vampire bat map for X armor 4. Can destroy Wood platform with Squid Adler Electro Sword on Dr. Firefly boss map 5. Zero special attack (Dr. Firefly DNA) can open wooden wall on Tidal Whale map for X armor Thanks

It's quite satisfying to be able to 100% complete Megaman X5 with just Zero (since it feels like a rather incomplete experience in the original to have to use X in the same gameplay to get everything). The work seems to me impeccable and quite clean. The Megaman community is definitely amazing. Amazing work as always, and out of curiosity, do you plan to upload videos completing the Megaman Zero/ZX legacy collection Z Chaser challenge?

man i really think x5 zero is the most lethal and versatile version of himself in the x games. With all the invulnerability frames, not to mention time stop the warudo, complementing his melee speed

as a follower of dc for 6 years, you are the one who inspired me to follow the Megaman X genre, I'm so glad you released a new video, and me. Wish you more success in your career and wish your channel will get 100k subs as soon as possible •••• one of your Vietnamese supporters •••••

Im honestly terrified, I’ve just installed this game and less than an hour later, you post a gameplay of it
-
I deeply admire the hard work put into improving the original flawed X5, and I don’t want to sound ungrateful towards the one(s) behind this labor of love. However the bosses of this game really need sound effects for their movements and attacks. They still feel like they’re in a beta stage with how quiet they are.
-
I literally watched the X run you did just yesterday and thought to myself, "Did this person do a full game with only Zero too?" You planned ahead like you were repairing a laser cannon and boy oh boy is that cool of you, and especially since the impact it made was not jeopardizing Earth. Nice work and thank you for doing X5 with this patch not just once, but at least twice! I'm glad to see someone who fulfilled one of my childhood dreams and then some!
-
Yes! I am so excited
-
1:09:10 the boss that made me not be able to finish the megaman X5 and there was a trick to avoid the attacks, I wanna cry few times.
-
Love how you don't have to fight the U-555 again. Great QoL change.
-
Honestly, watching this video makes Zero feel like a Super Smash Bros. Melee character.
-
After reading Sigma's lines on the final level, it made me think how awesome it would have been if there was a secret Wily Boss after him.
-
Beautiful play.
-
His game play is really good. It looks really good too.
-
Satisfying as always my guy!!!
-
can you do the unskip story line like this one from X1 to ZX? i would like to watch all of it
-
