Megaman vs Zero - Megaman Unlimited Final

You know shits real when the game doesn't "load up" a health bar for the boss.

I just love how there is a "You wasn't supose to see that" kinda vibe around the fight

He's just standing there... MENACINGLY!!

I like how Zero doesn't do anything until you attack him, and will often just stare at you. This is literally his first day alive and he has no idea what's going on, but boy does he know how to throw down.

You know your attempting to do the impossible when your fighting a boss that doesn't have a health bar.

Just so we all know.... Mega Man fired the first shot.

I love how this is accurate to the lore, Zero is not a rival that Megaman can defeat, he's beyond his league.

If this was an official Mega Man game this fight would go down in history as one of the best moments in not just the series but video games in general. A final fight with the prototype of Wily's greatest creation, Zero, who would give OG Mega Man, with all his powerups combined, a state in which he would usually be unstoppable, a fight that made him seemingly powerless to stop? While this also would signify the power jump Mega Man would need in the series going down the line, its also beautifully ironic how this same creation would end up being the best friend of his next incarnation hundreds of years later. The ending scene is also perfect and the music is fitting. Would have been the greatest set up to the X games had this been the final OG Mega Man title.

I like how when you let Zero walk menacingly up to you, he just stares at you until you move or attack.

the fact Zero is Defending himself in this fight is spooky and clever. like it doesn't know what you are...yet you attack it...and it has no choice but to fight back

I love how frightening an image this is when you really think about it: Here's Zero completely unarmed, no armor, an imperfected system, he's not fully programmed so he's probably not even fully aware of his surroundings beyond that something is trying to hurt him. AND YET Megaman is completely out classed even with a full suite of weapons and upgrades he's accrued through he course of the game. Zero is probing him and yet Megaman can't even put a dent in him going full tilt. The tension you feel when he just walks up slowly, swatting bullets like they're flies, and looks Megaman up and down could be cut with a knife and that's not something you can say about Megaman, let alone Classic Megaman.

Hes pissed due to being an assist trophy in Smash Ultimate

I think the best part of this fight is the enemy AI and the fact the battle music doesn't start until the player starts the fight. The programming of having Zero just stand there, looking at you holding the charged shot is truly brilliant. There's nothing more disconcerting then your enemy waiting for your best shot, totally confident it doesn't matter.

Dr. Light: MegaMan! What happened?! MegaMan: Doctor... My ass... He handed it to me...

“Fight” This isn’t a fight This is a one sided murder

This really puts into perspective just how powerful of a machine Zero was at the time of his creation. He was a construct ahead of his time, with armor and movement far superior to any other robot. It was only after the discovery of Dr. Light's last creation: X, and the subsequent production of Reploids, that Zero was no longer alone in this regard. Even then, however, Zero was still a cut above thanks to Wily's incredible genius, so much so that Zero's body was stolen in the Zero series and Zero then proceeded to wipe out the body that had been superior to all reploids in every way. He wasn't just built better, he WAS better. However, the only thing that held him back at this video was a lot of faulty programming that couldn't handle the power his highly advanced systems possessed, which lead to the creation of the Maverick Virus. Truely, Wily knew how to give to the world as much as he took from it.

The Look that MegaMan Gives Zero after his arm gets Blown off MegaMan:Seriously Dude

This entire meeting between Mega Man and Zero is so high quality, Zero even looks like he was built for the next generation, what a masterpiece.

Megaman: "Buster Cannon!" Zero: "DENIED!" Megaman: "Rockets! " Zero: "DENIED!" Megaman: "Lasers!" Zero: "Ooooh! Pretty! DENIED!" Megaman: "Everything but the kitchen sink!" Zero: "DENIED!" Megaman: "... The kitchen sink." Zero: "DENIED!" Megaman: "This dude's crazy! I gotta get up high for some space to think!" Zero: "DENIED!" Megaman: "Oh COME ON! I know! I'll-" Zero: "DENIED!" Megaman: "But I didn't even finish that sentence!" Zero: "IRRELEVENT!" Megaman: "Quit spamming! Can you do anything other than-" Zero: (Punches his arm off.) Megaman: O_O Zero: OwO ... (Collapses) Megaman: (Permanently traumatised)

Zero deflecting bullets like a boss was the coolest thing I ever saw in a video game at the time.
