Looking back at this now, I see a few changes I would perhaps make: Add "Falling Down", "Misty Rain", a couple boss themes and "Awakening Will". also switch some of the ranks around. I realize these top 20 videos will never fully satisfy absolutely everyone. #20 could very easily be #1. So please take it for what it is: A collection of good tunes from the Megaman Zero/ZX series.
you're welcome. im glad some folks like yourself still enjoy it. it's not perfect, but it has some damn good tunes with fun gameplay to watch. thnx again.
Departure and Awakening Will are quite similar, but AW is a bit too bittersweet for me. Both should be in the Top 5 of every Mega Man Zero list, nevertheless.
I sincerely have to thank you for providing this list. I sincerely enjoy games with great music. Thanks to you, in 2013, I bought the Zero Collection. To this day I have played through the Zero games a numerous amount of times, more than I can count. In addition to that, I also bought and played both ZX and ZXA. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have experienced and enjoyed these amazing games. Thank you very much for this video. :)
High Speed Lift from Zero 3 is one of my favorite tracks in the series. Along with Trap Factory. Looking forward to the upcoming Zero/ZX legacy Collection. I still have my Megaman Zero/ZX games.
Number 4 on your list, "Wonder Panorama" is among my favorites. Also, number 3, "Straight Ahead" is my favorite from the list. Many of the others are really good too.
Fun fact if you never played X: In Megaman ZX if you're on the highway it's very similar to X's Highway with some of the same enemies. It's also similar to fighting Vile. Serpent harms you severely and kills Girouette, and your using Model X and your defeated
10- Green Grass Gradation 9- Snake Eyes 8- Black Burn 7- Doomsday Device 6- Esperanto 5- Departure 4- Falling down 3- Supreme Ruler original and trance version! 2- Cannon ball 1- Straight Ahead you just have to listen the mythos and physis version... EPIC!!
sephatu you need good music to compensate the fact that are ice/water levels, just imagine music like this in the zelda ocarina of time water temple to compensate the nightmare lol
+sephatu To mitigate the utter suckage. I mean, ice/water levels in megaman aren't too bad at all, but in most games, they are. It's not just megaman, lots of games have great soundtrakcs in water levels.
No Awakening Will? Falling Down? Power Bomb? Rockin' On? Sky High? In the Wind? Slam Down? Determined Eyes? Oriental Sentinals? NO THEME OF ZERO? And Drifting Floe Nr. 2? Seriously?
ITS HIS OPINION RESPECT IT! Oh yeah, and IF PEOPLE WOULD READ THE DESCRIPTION, YOUD UNDERSTAND! I like your picks, and when will you come back, Sliider?
thanks. perhaps this winter season i may return to mm, as well as try some new things. thanks again for the kind words... and reading the description lul.
A great list Sliider36 for many, this should be different, that's inevitable, but for me it was a good caught of all the themes that we like :D It is interesting, the most of the players remember their games for their weft and history; but we, who have played the Megaman Series not only remember for their excellent events and facts but also we remember them for their excellent OST and music themes.
I will say this playlist has variety. If I'd crafted it, I would have just spammed ZX songs till the cows come home. That game's soundtrack just really does it for me, and I'm pleased to see it getting solid representation here.
i noticed the same thing, and this seems to hold true across all Megaman series. in fact, I created a music video featuring all megaman ice themes. There's a link to it in this video's description.
I like Final Match, Hell gate's opened, Blackheart beat, Area of Zero, Judgement Day, Final Countdown, Combustion, Promise Next New World, X The Legend, High Speed Lift, Sleeping Beast, Submerged Memory, In Mother's Light, Neo Arcadia March and etc too.
I'm still here listening to these nostalgic songs. I miss my teenage years, but i'm glad i had the chance to play megaman zx and zx adventures, which is probaly the end of megaman. The sad part is we didn t get a game explaining enough the passage the classic game for x era, what happened to protoman etc...
If there's one thing I can agree with you on in that comment, it's the naming. The bosses are named some really stupid a forgettable things. But everything else...no. If you think Zero's story was childish, compare it to the Classic games..now THOSE are pretty simplistic and kiddy, And the gameplay is fantastic with some of the best controls in a Mega Man game ever! If there's one gripe I had with the Zero series, it was the ranking system. It made the difficulty harder than it was already, and I feel like without it, the difficulty would be more enjoyable.
When I first played mmz2 and heard departure, I got chills and thought zero must be a bad ass. That being the first time I played any mm game I got the shit beaten out of me:-)
I know it all comes Down to personal taste but you could really have used a bit more o ZX and ZX advent songs instead of putring every single "ice field" theme in The series XD nice vid tho.
As someone who had only played the desert stage in Zero 2 as her only megaman knowledge for majority of her life (could never beat it as a kid), that stage is GREAT.
is this list reversed? cuz personally i think Departure is no.1 think about it, after mmz1 ended with zero being badass fighting entire Neo arcadia reploids all alone, we all want another mmz game. then mmz2 came out with zero pretty much broken. then the music pop up, showing the cutscenes of zero still being a total badass.
Hum. While some music were must have in these video. Some other's are lacking. Supreme Ruler is completly forgotten while it was one of the most intense moment of the whole MMZ series. There is also the intro of MMZ4 who is missing. "Caravan" and there's also Albert theme. "Soul Abalze" who is missing. But still, nice vid.
lol good list. Though funny how almost backwards from my own opinion this is. Departure is my number 1 XD. I agree on Cannonball and Straight ahead being high on the list though. But yeah my favorite ZX series track by far is trap phantasm/factory. Most of it sound good, but I much prefer rock to synth. So Zero is generally much higher than ZX for me.
Awesome list. I might add Onslaught/Attack on Guardian/Guardian Base Siege and Doomsday Device (Area M & N) both from ZX. They are definitely underrated.
Though at Ouroburos, 16:00, i wouldnt have showed the 3 headed boss since its a different music employed at this moment. But i agree with omega song being in your first XD.
I never paid much attention to the background in Area Zero. Looking at it now though, I’m noticing crumbled buildings and what looks like a destroyed city stretching far in the distance. What a sad world.
Maybe, but Dr.Wily seemed to have survived long enough to create Zero, and it was implied that he (or at least some form of him) was working with working with Sigma to restore Zero's original programming. It does seem that the Robot protagonists wouldn't retire peacefully, and Dr.Cain (being an archaeologist) DID find X's capsule in some ruins (presumably abandoned some time between 20XX and 21XX.
yeah i even wrote in the description that the ranking can be considering quite random. number 20 could be number 1... and i meant it. its simply a collection of 20 memorable, noteworthy tunes from zero/zx.
The version of Cannon Ball used in ZX and Zero 3 is actually different. Not by much, but there are slight differences. Specifically the intro to the song before the guitar is from ZX's version of it.
Where is Passionate - Fighting Fenfir? That is a top 20 all time Megaman Track across all games original and X series inclusive let alone Megaman Zero.
Why not add Falling Down or Neo Arcadia from MMZ or MMZ2? Or how about Elpizo's theme or the Elpizo battle theme? Those are cool ones too. Great list otherwise
I think all zx(a) music have better melodies than zero ones, no offense to those who respect tradition but I would definitely put all zxa tracks in the list

I come back to this video every month or so because of just how good the initial selection and pacing was. thank you for this video.
bro i like ur chanel
Dr. Wily actually built a robot master that lasts longer than 30 seconds against an enemy.
And saves humanity...but at least he is an efficient fighter! :D`
***** But who WAS that Robot Master?
WHY ZERO OF COURSE XD
MegaGEN50 lol
Evil Spock k
Saw this video years ago as a kid and randomly remembered it today. Thank you for this compilation, its great to see its still there.
you're welcome. im glad some folks like yourself still enjoy it. it's not perfect, but it has some damn good tunes with fun gameplay to watch. thnx again.

Falling Down isn't on here since it's already implied it's the best song in the series.
Cannonball>Falling Down
@@floricel_112Esperanto>Holy-Land>Cannonball>Falling Down.
same with Freesia >:( those 2 shoulda been 2 and 3 (Cannonball is in it's correct place)
tbh gba soundchip kinda ruined it for me but in the physis album its like you're pouring dopamine directly through my ears
Falling down and caravan- Hope for freedom, crafts theme. Where are they?
not to be one of those people, but how is departure at the bottom of the list?
Exactly.
I know right bullshit
+smash zone Departure is just heavenly
Awakening will blows departure easily for me.
Departure and Awakening Will are quite similar, but AW is a bit too bittersweet for me. Both should be in the Top 5 of every Mega Man Zero list, nevertheless.
MMZ4's falling down (Final Battle theme) easily gets a No.1 from me for the intensity
Agreed
My favs from Zero series are:
1-Cannonball (Zero 3)
2-Ice Brain (Zero 2)
3-Sunkern Library (Zero 3)

6- Esperanto
5- Departure
4- Falling down
3- Supreme Ruler original and trance version!
2- Cannon ball
1- Straight Ahead
you just have to listen the mythos and physis version... EPIC!!
I wonder why the ice/water levels always have good soundtracks lol. even from X like Bubble Crab to ZX like Drift Floe.
It's true. In fact, take a look at this: Mega Man Music: Frozen Melodies
sephatu BLIZARD BUFALO CHILL PINGUIN EJ ME GUSTAN A MI
Sliider great music sliider
sephatu you need good music to compensate the fact that are ice/water levels, just imagine music like this in the zelda ocarina of time water temple to compensate the nightmare lol

And Drifting Floe Nr. 2? Seriously?
Alias Anybody and NO SOUL ABLAZE
DRIFTING FLOE N2
btw cannonball is really good but extremely overrated
Alias Anybody
No Rush Trash Squash, Twisted Vine or Overloaded? Those were the best songs in ZX Advent.
@@bwehhhh *OVER* FRIGGIN *RATED???*
Just kidding, I love this song but exist a lot of good soundtracks beyond Cannonball...
Falling Down and Rockin' On is an obrigation to put in that list... NfHsrjstjrajETkzeyykydktjrhgsbdhx
i just gonna say his/her favorite song not your favorite song or didn't you see the title in this video??! it's his favorite song????
ITS HIS OPINION RESPECT IT! Oh yeah, and IF PEOPLE WOULD READ THE DESCRIPTION, YOUD UNDERSTAND! I like your picks, and when will you come back, Sliider?
thanks. perhaps this winter season i may return to mm, as well as try some new things. thanks again for the kind words... and reading the description lul.

Awesome to see "Cool Water" on this list!
Ok, I get it. Uploader LOVES ice stages XD
+NEOC -kun Not his fault. Everyone hates them, but loves their music.
Uandres Brito can't blame them.
If ice places didnt have awesome music then we wouldn't do them... (Zero 2 Polar Zone flashbacks)
"In fact, number 20 could be number 1."
Please, none of them can replace Cannon Ball!
Departure never gets old
I will say this playlist has variety. If I'd crafted it, I would have just spammed ZX songs till the cows come home. That game's soundtrack just really does it for me, and I'm pleased to see it getting solid representation here.

Oh my Gosh! WHY CAN'T PEOPLE RESPECTS OPINIONS??!! Sure some music are not there but that doesn't mean he forgot on something! Just respect opinions!
Sooooo happy Cannon Ball made the list and top at that.
For me :
1.cannonball
2.Departure
Sky High - Grand Nuage (Theme of Guardian HQ) from ZX Advent is a really good one as well.
I like Final Match, Hell gate's opened, Blackheart beat, Area of Zero, Judgement Day, Final Countdown, Combustion, Promise Next New World, X The Legend, High Speed Lift, Sleeping Beast, Submerged Memory, In Mother's Light, Neo Arcadia March and etc too.
YOU HAVE GODLY TASTE
I'm still here listening to these nostalgic songs. I miss my teenage years, but i'm glad i had the chance to play megaman zx and zx adventures, which is probaly the end of megaman. The sad part is we didn t get a game explaining enough the passage the classic game for x era, what happened to protoman etc...
I saw #1 from a mile away. It's that good XD
i actually thought it was going to be falling down from Zero 4
@@slashbeuhhh read desc
Good job for putting in Wonder Panorama
I would have put zero 4’s boss theme in there because it’s amazing, but your choices are good and understandable
yeah, i missed some. please see description. thanks for the kind words and watching though!

I'm a little disappointed that passionate from zero 2 wasn't on the list but it's a good list.
honestly wish departure was number 1
In the wind-aeolus stage is a good sondtrack too
The beginning is awesome, but the rest fails to keep up....
When I first played mmz2 and heard departure, I got chills and thought zero must be a bad ass. That being the first time I played any mm game I got the shit beaten out of me:-)
Your choice for #1 is very accurate.
***** Approves of this message.
I love you for including Infiltration II
I wish you included Destiny from Mega Man ZX Advent, but I can respect your opinions.
your choice for #1 was amazing.
So thats how do you escape Leviathan attacks, I man I love the Enemy Hall theme
0:00 epic zero music
I know it all comes Down to personal taste but you could really have used a bit more o ZX and ZX advent songs instead of putring every single "ice field" theme in The series XD nice vid tho.

But still, nice vid.
Megaman (GB Series) Zero (GBA) and ZX,ZXa (DS) have the most beautiful soundtracks!
Me: (Sees Cannonball Hard Revenge as spotlight for Number 1) A man of culture I see.
Really good list, so many good choices, especially 16
also thx 4 ur comment on my vid
lol good list. Though funny how almost backwards from my own opinion this is. Departure is my number 1 XD. I agree on Cannonball and Straight ahead being high on the list though.

The fucking stage design on mega man zx advent approaching ouroboros made me pull my hair out it was honestly some hard ass platforming
Through the lighting and Destiny from ZXA should be honorable mentions.
Megaman the epic reploid since 1987 ....... good memories
Though at Ouroburos, 16:00, i wouldnt have showed the 3 headed boss since its a different music employed at this moment. But i agree with omega song being in your first XD.
Areas that has snow has nice and calming music..
I never paid much attention to the background in Area Zero. Looking at it now though, I’m noticing crumbled buildings and what looks like a destroyed city stretching far in the distance. What a sad world.
damn I should've played ZX, seems kind of underrated and I slept on it
You slept on a fucking masterpiece
How come you didn’t put Falling Down? It’s so epic!
Cold smile at #6 but no Power Bomb to be seen anywhere
What is this witchcraft
Noticing a lot of ice area themes. Very "Cool" ( Had to say it)
I'm more of a fan of the Cannon ball from MMZ3 over the version from ZX
For me its a surprise that zero 3's intro stage is on the list
All the musics to Mega Man Zero is my Favorite and ZX
i am happy departure made the list
Quite surprised the Ragnarok Core theme and Soul Ablaze aren't on this list.
Needs more Gravity from MMZ2. Cool Water and Cannonball are so good though...
what about FALLING DOWN from mmz4? omg :c
Raven shush
the zero and zx games has awesome music
Maybe, but Dr.Wily seemed to have survived long enough to create Zero, and it was implied that he (or at least some form of him) was working with working with Sigma to restore Zero's original programming.

yeah i even wrote in the description that the ranking can be considering quite random. number 20 could be number 1... and i meant it. its simply a collection of 20 memorable, noteworthy tunes from zero/zx.
Perfect,only until number 1 I agree with something
Hmm, I was actually waiting to hear more boss music. Also ex tracks Freesia and Clover
You play very professional!!
If I made this list, at least 8 spots would go to Zero 2s tracks, since that has the best soundtrack in the entire series behind X6 and maybe MM2
The version of Cannon Ball used in ZX and Zero 3 is actually different. Not by much, but there are slight differences. Specifically the intro to the song before the guitar is from ZX's version of it.
would be a better video if you didn't cut most of the songs at their best parts.
Anw, nice video.
#16 Showdown has the same rhythm as Freesia :O
So does #9 Esperanto :O
AzureDragoonGX k
Green Grass Gradation from MM ZX at 17th place? Oh my goodness :(
esse cara joga muito meu deus.....
8:40 the most epic song of MMZ ;,)
Prismatic is my favorite Mega Man Zero theme
Where is Passionate - Fighting Fenfir? That is a top 20 all time Megaman Track across all games original and X series inclusive let alone Megaman Zero.
At 9:27 it sounds like crystal castles' crimewave song at it's end.
Why not add Falling Down or Neo Arcadia from MMZ or MMZ2? Or how about Elpizo's theme or the Elpizo battle theme? Those are cool ones too. Great list otherwise
i was looking forward for trap phantasm but then i forgot its just z and zx.
oh well trap factory and departure is still awesome.
What the i love this theme in rockman no contansy
This list was pretty good, though I see no one likes "doomsday device" from area n and m in megaman zx
I really hate the keyboard choice in the ZX version of Cannonball, the piano in the original is much better.
Even so, I think Cannonball is overrated.
The ZX Tunes version of Cannon Ball Hard Revenge is a lot better, as is pretty much the entirety of ZX's OST
HELL NO
ZX version of Cannonball is so much better
I predicted number 1 at number 2, since it was missing from the list.
No "Area M & N" or "Area I" I am disappointed. Good list none the less
is it "Cradle" maybe? just a guess. i listened to a few, there's a ton.
You are telling me Drifting Flow is Better than Wonder Panorama
I liked the track Ultramarine Meditation from Megaman ZX, which reminds me. Where is that song?
This video has aged very well.
i don't know why, but "ice brain" reminds me to some music in command mission, both begins the same..
I think all zx(a) music have better melodies than zero ones, no offense to those who respect tradition but I would definitely put all zxa tracks in the list
