Can you make a video like this for the classic games? I have to abuse autofire and savestates to even have a chance at them. I know you do mostly Zero stuff, so I understand if you don't. I do feel like I'm slowly getting better as there was a time where I couldn't even beat a level and now I beat 1-4
Seeing a zero no damage run makes me feels like this is how in game characters cannonicaly sees Zero during mission (except when he's supposed to lose ofc) it's so cool
The fact that this video is being released in 2020. The fact that this game is from my childhood. The fact that it's been re-released. The fact that I thought I knew everything there was to know about these games but I just learned more. There are seriously no words to describe how good it feels to see everyone enjoying Megaman Zero. Rock On you guys!
@@uhhhleagueofhashinshin2348 There's one fan game in development by War555 that wishes to accomplish that goal 👀 It's called MMZO, although it's in early development, it's very promising, there's also Mega Man X Online: Deathmatch that is basically the same thing but fot the SNES trilogy, pretty fun, both games have a discord server if you're interested
Interesting. When I first tried to play Mega Man Zero I tried playing it like it was X4 and quickly realized none of those old tricks worked anymore. The skill ceiling in the Zero series is insane.
The X series was different because some games had bad stages the needed cheesing and finessing to get the highest scores and ranks. The Zero series can be brutal, but is tightly designed to reward skill level. You can carry your skill throughout the series because 6 games share the same game environment; they just uses unique concepts and different level designs per game. I like it.
dekaidoku Gets pulled out of a crappy building by a blonde lady to hunt down his own kind, has to fight his evil twin, uses gun and sword, does combos, has some really lame boss taunts, is edgelord but doesn't smoke or have sex. Lots of things in common =D
You aint have to do this, but you a real one dude. I'll spread this around and imma look forward to learning this tech with the collection. Thanks my guy.
I love how sick those combos look, as a kid I played those games just charging my Z saber and waiting for the best opportunity to use it, this changes my outlook on the game dramatically for the best, time to get the collection.
You were under the impression that you should play it like the Classic or X series, but Zero and Zx are a whole new beast. And then Advent gutted the combo system.
I’m not sure if I’m willing to invest into learning how to play with this level of tech but it’s insanely awesome to observe and I feel like I learned a good deal about one of my all-time favorite game series. Much thanks for the video. 🙂
Yep. I wanna see some more crazy stuff spark from this. Recent developments showed there's still more to learn from these games, so this is only the beginning.
Unfortunately I’ve only played ZX so far so everything I’m seeing is new to me and until I play the other games, none of this really registers simply because I haven’t actually played any for myself.
Can't really spread this to my friends when they're the ones who showed it to me, but it's worth a try. Gotta say you make this combo stuff look way easier than it ended up being when I've tried my hand at it.
I swear when I first played these games, I knew there were some attacks that could connect into others, but didn't realize that I was doing combos, it just sort of worked and I didn't really question it. But seeing this brings all of that into a new perspective. Thank you.
Anyway, the ZX series has far less tech, as far as I know. It has a similar system, but far less attacks. I always use charged buster + Charged saber and that's it. EDIT: Funny comment, looking back.
There are fewer moves to work with on any given model, but they increased the combo potential on basic moves and there are combos for all of them. Saber models are particularly privileged in this regard, unsurprisingly. Here's an example I made as a demonstration: th-cam.com/video/mYGT2C4Q8VU/w-d-xo.html
All megaman games are a matter of remembering where shit is and knowing enemy patterns and weakness. All this talk about "tech" is hyperbole. MMZ is especially bad about this because of the limited screen space. You can't really see shit coming at you until it's too late unless you're moving slowly or already know where things are.
As someone who loves Zero 1 to bits and pieces, I must say, this video helped me with some techniques I wasn't sure about. Thank you! Also Enemy Hall in the beginning was a nice touch, I love that theme.
Little late but I wanted to say thank you. I used to play these games a while back but wasn’t very good at them so I gave up. I recently picked them back up and your videos have been a major help, I’m really enjoying the Zero series and having fun learning some new skills. So again, thanks for showing an older gamer some fresh tricks 🙂
Big boy Magnus really flexing on us with that RAID Sponsorship, smh my head Ok, with the meme out of the way, this guide was more than worth all the wait. I'll be the first to admit that I crutched myself on charge attack spam to muscle my way through Z1/2 specifically, so I'm glad there's now a good one-stop area for Zero series tech as a whole. Very professional and well structured guide as a whole. Big ups, my dude. Also got reminded of funny moments from the run like that Recoil Rod vs Helicopter clip lmao.
"It's only the best game eveeeeeer" -Sellout I appreciate it, bro. Considering these games hardly ever allude to it's tech, spamming charges on instinct isn't really a bad thing. With the way they present things, it's probably one of the first strategies a new player would gravitate towards.
While replaying the Zero titles with the Mega Man Zero/ ZX Legacy Collection, I was starting to realize that there were plausible combos in the Zero series, but this is on a whole other level. Excellent video, Magnus- I will certainly try to work these into my playstyle.
You know it's funny, someone like you going through all this trouble for a great great guide like this. Meanwhile I've seen people on twitter who adamantly refuse to even assign anything to shoulder buttons...
I don't plan on getting these games for awhile but I'm always interested in checking out interesting speedrun tech, thanks for showing it off in one big video!
This was an excellent video! I am so happy that I found this video! I haven't played the Zero series games in a very, very long time, and I hadn't become fully aware of the speed running scene until about 2013. Because of that, I was completely unaware of the advanced tech and strategies that exist in these games. Thank you for sharing all of this! By the way, I agree with you that the Recoil Rod rules! It's one of the reasons that Zero 3 is my favorite game in the series.
Just got this game again after losing it when I was 12 many moons ago. So cool to see a video like this out there for this series. I still love it after all this time. Good stuff man!
My man! I havent watched past the first minute of the video yet but I'm so glad you've posted this! I even recognize your voice from a weapon leveling guide in mmz1 so I know you wont disappoint.
Just...woww. I play this game with just mashing the buttons and hope for the best. Did not even know there is a technicalities on how to play properly. Now I feel like wanna re-play the game with this in mind. Thanks for the video, man.
Thanks for taking the time to explain all of this. I only knew of the reversal because I watched speedruns and tried it myself on the DS Zero Collection but I assumed only the Z saber could do it. Gonna share the video with some friends who's interested in the collection on discord.
Im so happy MMZ/ZX collection finally got out. They're surely my favorite Mega Man series and seeing people talking about them and doing videos, like this one, again just makes my day
Wow dude I too have 20+ years of Megaman and have played them all and I'm pretty damn good but I had no idea Zero could be played like this. You're an amazing player. Cool stuff
I loved Z3's Copy X's fight, because I had my own easy combo involving the 3 standing slashes and then the upper and downwards slash. I thought that was all I could do with the weapons but oh God I was wrong..
Sweet man appreciate the guide. Megaman Z is something I’ve had on my radar for about 10 years but never remembered to buy, so with the most recent rerelease I’ll put this tech to work.
I've been in love with the zero games since I first played them, so a full guide of how to actually be good at them is super helpful and very much appreciated. You've done the internet a great justice
This is actually such an awesome amount of information. I'm not a speed runner but there's a lot here I'd like to use when revisiting the games, I bet it'd make them a lot more fun.
I never knew this game series had any of these techniques. I have each of the games, and now the legacy, so I expected to slog through these games. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the video, learning about how complex the combo system is... Just, amazing. Have played these games for about half of my life, and didn't even know about the complexity of this (did I even use the right word?) Amazing stuff, as always :3
This is why I loved the Zero series more then any other Megaman. How deep and demanded it can be for the players but doesn't really hold back those of us that well never can quite get to that level and have to charge spam to win. Everyone can see how much the game can do but getting there is tough. I did not know the Triple Rod's charge was that good I rarely used it cause it took away my movement and I was nervous about that. Going to try to use it more.
I think with the accessibility of the new collection and its great save assist system, the Zero series is finally going to be discovered by more players. Save assist is great because I can finally play these games casually in for-fun runs without worrying about perfect stage runs and I love it
Save assist can also be a solid practice tools because once you feel like doing the zero games normal, you would be skilled enough to do well without the save assist.
the megaman zero series has been my favorite out of all the megaman series, ive been playing since i was 10 i think (16 now) and i had no idea there was such cool stuff like this till now, i think i want to get into speed running :) ive been watching your videos all day and cant stop! so ty :)))
Dude thank you for this, I cant wait to try this out. I always been a fan of these games and with the collection out and my craving for speedrunning Ill do you proud man. Thanks again for this information.
I am a complete and utter newcomer, I played zero 4 for hours when I was around 6 and that’s still to this day my only experience with mega man, I decided to pick up the mega man zero collection because I wanted to see what I was doing as a kid, having a blast but literally no clue what I’m doing, your video is an absolute godsend as I’m god awful at the game
Still blows my mind how much depth this game has even after 15+ years, The Zero games are difficult but so damn satisfying when you understand it's mechanics.
I loved these game so much as a kid, and as an adult i feel like i love em even more! I had a friend back in the day that was so CRAZY with the tech but it was so hard for me to emulate lol Awesome vid! Thanks!
I knew a good deal of this and I feel proud of this. Then I see the stuff I didn’t know and am mindblown. This is an amazing video and is the guide to taking your game to the next level and I will definitely reference this for combos in the future
I hate how youtube didn't notify me of this regardless that I turned on the bell button. Anyway, thank you so much magnus for this wonderful informative video. It's finally good to let others who take the zero games for granted gain a much more in-depth perspective on the game and that includes me too. It'll be interesting to see how this guide would affect Z-chaser games in the Zero Legacy Collection. People like you deserve more subscribers bro.
Dude, I already had major respect for these games that I adore to death. Didn't think a guide telling me how to get better was going to increase that respect either. Thanks.
Probably the best video explaining the gameplay of the Zero saga, I think this guide will be very useful for new players, you are amazing how you play xD I know all these techniques, but I never knew the machines properly, I continue to learn and thanks to This video I noticed several errors, however, you have my admiration and a new sub! I'm sorry my English, I'm not very good at speaking
The fact that I've been playing these games since I got the DS Zero collection and only just now have I found out how much depth there is to playing them well amazes me
Thanks, man. This video exceeded my expectations in positive reception, so I'll definitely do more guides when ideas come to mind. Right now, I'm working on getting my Zero 4 no damage run recorded, but since I've been seeing some players confused about how the hit priority system works, I might make a Combo System video in between the no damage run.
As someone who has played these games religiously on my 3DS in high school, it’s crazy to think I was able to figure out only 1/4 of the tech shown off on this video by myself (mainly the Z-Saber combos) and now that I bought the collection again for the switch I can’t wait to attempt to learn and master tech I never thought existed until now. The Zero series may not have been as insanely popular as the X series but in my opinion the Zero series was always better due to mainly the story and gameplay improvements compared to the X series. I still fondly remember showcasing the Zero series to my friends in high school and how impressed they were with the games, even more impressed on how easy I made them look lol.
Thank you so much for the guide man! I play Devil May Cry at a high level so to see this really caught my eye! Hope I can get my hands on it soon! Great stuff!
If I ever got famous enough to do sponsored stuff I’d collaborate with Bad Dragon XD Great video man. I LOVE these games so far. Picked up the collection and have been studying stuff like this.
Thanks man I found this video randomly just when I bought the collection for ps4 and some strats I knew since gba. Time to refresh them old skills and he'll make some new ones
Dude, I don't know how I got here, but I'm a guy that played Z1 a lot, I beat it sub 2 hours after getting charge attacks, and while I knew about reversals, I didn't really use them. I'll mention another Capcom franchise by saying I'm motivated to play the first three Zero games again, but flashier. I might also buy the Z/ZX collection if the specs for it don't fail me, like the X one...
That was an really good guide =D make me want to try some of it out in the future myself =) Looking forward to that =D Thanks for this video, I hope we can share it far enough so that lot's of people will see it and try this stuff =)
I've never been good at these games but I've always enjoyed them, but when I saw that first clip with the recoil rods my only though was "i don't have the hand eye coordination to ever be able to do that". My jaw just dropped
I played the Megaman Zero series when I was a kid on the Gameboy. Struggled with even finishing them with all the cyber elves used. Then went on to trying to get A-rank on everything on de DS collection. This guide really helped me with really getting better, and I'm on my journey to S-rank everything on Hard Mode now with the Zero collection.
I played all these games a decade ago on an emulator. pulling off those combos on a keyboard before I even knew there were a thing makes my knuckles ache at the thought. but damn I didn't know it was that deep. yo inti creates is king! and you are their loyal knight sharing with us the secrets of battle.
You know previously my knowledge of boss strategy in these games was "use charge slash and don't die". It literally never even crossed my mind that you could COMBO the bosses like some kinda fighting game character. This is really cool and helpful!
Really wish I watched this video before I played through the entire series. This is so nuts and would've elevated what I already consider a fantastic series into absolute perfection.
I've had Megaman Zero 3 when I was a kid. I've always wanted to try out a speed run. This one is going to take a lot of work, but the movement and tech look so sick, that the grind will be worth it honestly. Thanks for this video!
Thanks for this. I've been playing Mega Man for 30 years but had no idea there was so much tech in these games. I beat all the Zero games but want to really master them and this helps!
I've played these games all my life and I had absolutely zero (heh) idea that any of this stuff was in the games. Just goes to show how mechanically solid these games are even after all this time. Now if only I was good enough to even beat them consistently, let alone pull this off
I didn’t learn much about combos since I right after normal I went straight for the single slash no charge or ability hard mode (except for a few weapons). But I didn’t learn all of the universal tech on my own trying to A-S rank all of the games on that difficulty. It was for sure really fun. The comboes seem pretty cool but it def looks like it makes the game a bit too easy and I already found normal mode to be a cake walk so I can never go back haha. Maybe when I get the Z collection I’ll play 3 again on normal and see what I can come up with. Great video I learned a lot!.
thank you for posting this video.... the only thing I can really do back when I was still playing this was Charged Saber -> Triple Slash. I'm looking forward to replaying all games in this series now
I'm glad I saw this. I love the Zero games and I always go through them at least once every year so I do know some of the stuff shown but damn, I still learned way more than I excpected. Now I'm really excited to use these in action. Thank you!!
When these games came out in the 2000’s, I learned to master the gameplay and I went hardcore, no power ups, no cyber elf’s, just memorizing each stage and memorizing each boss pattern. My friends thought I was nuts considering the difficulty curve in the Zero games, but I was a purist, still am. I was that way with the X games too, just used base X and nothing else.

You can watch x maverickhunter's run, he speedrun megaman zero games with no dmg
my goal playing these games was always just to keep up with zero's coolness, going the fastest and the more ruthless i could be.
Damn bro thats exactly how i see it too. Its like watching an anime
Zero is basically the Terminator

I'm no pro by any means but even i managed to 100 point Zero 1 back at the day, check my vid, you just gotta memorize where the enemies are

The Zero series can be brutal, but is tightly designed to reward skill level. You can carry your skill throughout the series because 6 games share the same game environment; they just uses unique concepts and different level designs per game. I like it.
i think we still can play MZ like X series 4+ as zero. Just slash slash. But it is too boring.
The moment I saw the reversal, something inside my head clicked in and all I could think of was "how the hell did I not notice this sooner?!!!"
A.K.A "How to turn Mega Man Zero into Devil May Cry"

Less Ex-skill, and the transformation took away the combo
There are fewer moves to work with on any given model, but they increased the combo potential on basic moves and there are combos for all of them. Saber models are particularly privileged in this regard, unsurprisingly.
Here's an example I made as a demonstration:

Thanks for the video, learning about how complex the combo system is... Just, amazing. Have played these games for about half of my life, and didn't even know about the complexity of this (did I even use the right word?) Amazing stuff, as always :3
This is why I loved the Zero series more then any other Megaman. How deep and demanded it can be for the players but doesn't really hold back those of us that well never can quite get to that level and have to charge spam to win. Everyone can see how much the game can do but getting there is tough. I did not know the Triple Rod's charge was that good I rarely used it cause it took away my movement and I was nervous about that. Going to try to use it more.
I think with the accessibility of the new collection and its great save assist system, the Zero series is finally going to be discovered by more players.
Save assist is great because I can finally play these games casually in for-fun runs without worrying about perfect stage runs and I love it
Save assist can also be a solid practice tools because once you feel like doing the zero games normal, you would be skilled enough to do well without the save assist.
I Will need these assists to even play the collection
the megaman zero series has been my favorite out of all the megaman series, ive been playing since i was 10 i think (16 now) and i had no idea there was such cool stuff like this till now, i think i want to get into speed running :) ive been watching your videos all day and cant stop! so ty :)))
Dude thank you for this, I cant wait to try this out. I always been a fan of these games and with the collection out and my craving for speedrunning Ill do you proud man. Thanks again for this information.
I thought I was good but these runs and techs are way out of my league. I gotta try these right away, thanks for the awesome guide!
I am a complete and utter newcomer, I played zero 4 for hours when I was around 6 and that’s still to this day my only experience with mega man, I decided to pick up the mega man zero collection because I wanted to see what I was doing as a kid, having a blast but literally no clue what I’m doing, your video is an absolute godsend as I’m god awful at the game
You can always just charge up and attack when it's safe
It's ok im awful too
Thanks Magnus my Flazin Blizard combo would’ve never existed weren’t for this video
Still blows my mind how much depth this game has even after 15+ years, The Zero games are difficult but so damn satisfying when you understand it's mechanics.
This is such a helpful tech guide! The amount of platinum hunters wanting to watch this, will increase dramatically sooner or later. Good stuff bro!
I played this games when they got out and I'm now playing them again in the collection but never discover any of these tech so thank you for sharing.
I loved these game so much as a kid, and as an adult i feel like i love em even more! I had a friend back in the day that was so CRAZY with the tech but it was so hard for me to emulate lol
Awesome vid! Thanks!
I knew a good deal of this and I feel proud of this.
Then I see the stuff I didn’t know and am mindblown. This is an amazing video and is the guide to taking your game to the next level and I will definitely reference this for combos in the future
I hate how youtube didn't notify me of this regardless that I turned on the bell button. Anyway, thank you so much magnus for this wonderful informative video. It's finally good to let others who take the zero games for granted gain a much more in-depth perspective on the game and that includes me too. It'll be interesting to see how this guide would affect Z-chaser games in the Zero Legacy Collection. People like you deserve more subscribers bro.
Dude, I already had major respect for these games that I adore to death. Didn't think a guide telling me how to get better was going to increase that respect either. Thanks.
Probably the best video explaining the gameplay of the Zero saga, I think this guide will be very useful for new players, you are amazing how you play xD I know all these techniques, but I never knew the machines properly, I continue to learn and thanks to This video I noticed several errors, however, you have my admiration and a new sub! I'm sorry my English, I'm not very good at speaking
Thanks, bud! Also, don't worry. I understand you clearly. You speak english better than some natives here, lol.
The fact that I've been playing these games since I got the DS Zero collection and only just now have I found out how much depth there is to playing them well amazes me
I've been a fan of the Zero for such a long time. Never knew this.thanks
This is so rad I had no idea I could do any of this. I can't wait to try this out for myself please make some more tech videos I'd love to see them.
Thanks, man. This video exceeded my expectations in positive reception, so I'll definitely do more guides when ideas come to mind. Right now, I'm working on getting my Zero 4 no damage run recorded, but since I've been seeing some players confused about how the hit priority system works, I might make a Combo System video in between the no damage run.
@@MagnusZero I'll be looking forward to it, take your time.
Honestly been wanting a video like this for a long time now. Thank you.
As someone who has played these games religiously on my 3DS in high school, it’s crazy to think I was able to figure out only 1/4 of the tech shown off on this video by myself (mainly the Z-Saber combos) and now that I bought the collection again for the switch I can’t wait to attempt to learn and master tech I never thought existed until now. The Zero series may not have been as insanely popular as the X series but in my opinion the Zero series was always better due to mainly the story and gameplay improvements compared to the X series. I still fondly remember showcasing the Zero series to my friends in high school and how impressed they were with the games, even more impressed on how easy I made them look lol.
Thank you so much for the guide man! I play Devil May Cry at a high level so to see this really caught my eye! Hope I can get my hands on it soon! Great stuff!
As a DMC fan myself, yes Zero 3 will especially be up your alley. Glad this will be helpful!
If I ever got famous enough to do sponsored stuff I’d collaborate with Bad Dragon XD Great video man. I LOVE these games so far. Picked up the collection and have been studying stuff like this.
Thanks man I found this video randomly just when I bought the collection for ps4 and some strats I knew since gba. Time to refresh them old skills and he'll make some new ones
Dude, I don't know how I got here, but I'm a guy that played Z1 a lot, I beat it sub 2 hours after getting charge attacks, and while I knew about reversals, I didn't really use them.
I'll mention another Capcom franchise by saying I'm motivated to play the first three Zero games again, but flashier.
I might also buy the Z/ZX collection if the specs for it don't fail me, like the X one...
Thanks for the video! I've been so excited to start playing the collection and am super happy to see a video like this.
That was an really good guide =D make me want to try some of it out in the future myself =) Looking forward to that =D
Thanks for this video, I hope we can share it far enough so that lot's of people will see it and try this stuff =)
I appreciate that, bro! Yeah, I hope the Zero series gets it true respect after this.
I've never been good at these games but I've always enjoyed them, but when I saw that first clip with the recoil rods my only though was "i don't have the hand eye coordination to ever be able to do that". My jaw just dropped
I played the Megaman Zero series when I was a kid on the Gameboy. Struggled with even finishing them with all the cyber elves used. Then went on to trying to get A-rank on everything on de DS collection. This guide really helped me with really getting better, and I'm on my journey to S-rank everything on Hard Mode now with the Zero collection.
I played all these games a decade ago on an emulator. pulling off those combos on a keyboard before I even knew there were a thing makes my knuckles ache at the thought. but damn I didn't know it was that deep. yo inti creates is king! and you are their loyal knight sharing with us the secrets of battle.
You know previously my knowledge of boss strategy in these games was "use charge slash and don't die". It literally never even crossed my mind that you could COMBO the bosses like some kinda fighting game character. This is really cool and helpful!
I'm a big mage man zero player and have ben since it first came out and this video just opened up a whole new world to this game.
Really wish I watched this video before I played through the entire series. This is so nuts and would've elevated what I already consider a fantastic series into absolute perfection.
I've had Megaman Zero 3 when I was a kid. I've always wanted to try out a speed run. This one is going to take a lot of work, but the movement and tech look so sick, that the grind will be worth it honestly. Thanks for this video!
Started Zero 1 and I'm honestly a fan of thr chip system, it forces you to be careful and really helps getting better
very helpful! i hope new players enjoy this amazing line of games!!
Good Video Magnus! Also congrats on getting over 1000 subs! :)
This vid made me play megaman games once again... thanks dood.
Thanks for this. I've been playing Mega Man for 30 years but had no idea there was so much tech in these games. I beat all the Zero games but want to really master them and this helps!
I've played these games all my life and I had absolutely zero (heh) idea that any of this stuff was in the games. Just goes to show how mechanically solid these games are even after all this time. Now if only I was good enough to even beat them consistently, let alone pull this off
I beat all of these games as a kid somehow. Some of these I figured out as a kid but you took the game to a new level
This video was amazing, I didn't even know the zero series had tech.
I didn’t learn much about combos since I right after normal I went straight for the single slash no charge or ability hard mode (except for a few weapons). But I didn’t learn all of the universal tech on my own trying to A-S rank all of the games on that difficulty. It was for sure really fun. The comboes seem pretty cool but it def looks like it makes the game a bit too easy and I already found normal mode to be a cake walk so I can never go back haha. Maybe when I get the Z collection I’ll play 3 again on normal and see what I can come up with. Great video I learned a lot!.
thank you for posting this video....
the only thing I can really do back
when I was still playing this was Charged Saber -> Triple Slash.
I'm looking forward to replaying all games in this series now
And now I need to go back and replay these games all over again... again.
Zero breaks into your house and uses all the tech on you in your sleep (ASMR)
Wow, just wow. As a fellow long time Mega man player I salute what you're doing here. I really, really do.
I'm glad I saw this. I love the Zero games and I always go through them at least once every year so I do know some of the stuff shown but damn, I still learned way more than I excpected. Now I'm really excited to use these in action. Thank you!!
You're welcome. Glad this fueled inspiration!
i was looking for a vid like this exactly! after watching those sick-ass Speedruns!
When these games came out in the 2000’s, I learned to master the gameplay and I went hardcore, no power ups, no cyber elf’s, just memorizing each stage and memorizing each boss pattern. My friends thought I was nuts considering the difficulty curve in the Zero games, but I was a purist, still am. I was that way with the X games too, just used base X and nothing else.
I'm a completionist, had to 100 each stage or i couldn't sleep at night lol
Same. So many weeks spent trying to perfect my runs of each stage for 100s in all categories on each.
