From the final robot master meant to destroy all of Light’s creations, to the reploid that would save both the world and Megaman X, to finally finding what he was truly fighting for Even if Wily will never admit it, he created the hero robot he gave up on long ago
yeah The same goes for Sage in Frontiers, I like how the villain's child saves the world not for the sake of justice, but just because of their feelings of wanting to help.
I remember Game Theory making a "Wily wins" theory years ago. Though for a different reason, their title for that is now true now that we know more about Wily's past.
Weil: You have no way of experiencing this without a human brain. It’s the ultimate joy! No mere reploid could ever understand! Zero: I bet most decent humans wouldn’t understand, either. - Mega Man Zero 3
Story context: A cyborg mad-scientist has connected himself to the core of a space station that is plummeting to earth. The only way to save the planet is to blow up the core above a certain altitude, which will kill Zero in the process if he succeeds.
@lautaroosuna6186 Pronounciation makes it like a Hybrid of Wiley and Vile. Gotta be glad Wiley didn't program Zero with the 3 Cardinal Rules of Robotics or this final battle wouldn't have been possible.
This is a great parallel to their cover of Zero's theme, where he started off emotionless, and by the end of the song and the series, he knows what he's fighting for.
Not through strength or cheating. Lies..or sabotage...but by giving it his all for it. Even if zero was made to destroy all light built. Zero wws the one who stood at the end. Not megaman. Irony at its finest
@@trainman5675 Or X, for that matter. not Rock, not Roll, not any of his Robot Masters, not even X, Dr Thomas Light's magnum opus. Zero, the final creation of Doctor Albert Wily is the one who stopped Ragnarok, Burning down with it as he fights to stop another maniac from destroying the earth his creator loved and hated so much.
@wrigthtalekenavi2066 Wily would certainly have hated weil. Wily just wanted to be proven right. And to best light. (Maybe rule the world. He's not gonna say no yknow) but never destroy it. Weil only wanted destruction and Wily would have been disgusted
did he though? sure he gave zero the hands he would do it with, the power he would use to accomplish it, but the burning in his heart that drove him he did not put their especially as we have seen machines that were literally zero as he was originally intended, and they lost, a machine built only to fight cant win over one that actually has something to fight for
Funfact: In the official Japanese audio drama for Z4, Zero's final conversation was actually not really about Weil. It's Ciel's rather heartbreaking and desperate pleas over the radio to get him off Ragnarok as long as he still can. Frozenith actually mixed that one into his version of Falling Down. th-cam.com/video/ZS8z1i2ER_0/w-d-xo.html
@@Flamyll Additionally, if you go word by word, Zero seems to be 100% focussed on his mission to the last second. There was no concern about his opponent, he basically said "don't care, frick off" to Weil and then "Ciel, believe in me" (also implying "believe in my/our mission"). Not "Goodbye Ciel" or something that would indicate he's spending any energy on thinking about the fact that he will, in fact, die with Weil. It's "I'll finish this perfectly to the last slash or all the people I love will die down there", the textbook honorable warrior death.
Mega Man Zero is my favorite series. Little do you know that your cover of the opening stage actually got me into this series. I've beaten the original four games dozens of times over by now. All because of you
Funny it was his cover of “it has to be this way” from metal gear rising that made love the franchise now I’ve got the masters collection v1 and already beat the games various times
I love how much it correlates with the lyrics of the Zero theme "Madman's design with a genius's spark" "Born in the shadow with blade of the light" "Programmed to fight, but he gave me a heart"
"Do you have it in you to defeat me?" "...Didn't you brand me a maverick, just like Copy X before you?" "So?" "Well, if I'm a maverick, then you clearly think I am more than capable of harming a human. In any case, you barely qualify as one."
It's hard to describe how amazing this final battle is And, in a way, it's funny. Willy's Greatest creation, ment to be his final impact on the world was successful. Just not the way he thought.
I love this fight & the irony of Wily's greatest creation saving the world. I can't help but think that Wily would be proud that his robot survived the longest and did what X couldn't
I swear, Tom's performance as Dr. Weil was so good it legit made me believe it was Alex at first based on voice. It really shows the vocal range that he exhibits is quite impressive.
The fight against Weil onboard Ragnarok is one of my most precious gaming memories from my youth, so I'm glad to see you guys tackle the exceptional weight of this moment in the series. The time-limit were a real challenge on Hard Mode. Weil is even just barely out of reach of the Z-knuckle's charge strike. Still, it certainly communicates the severity of the circumstances and makes you feel the pressure, so it's an appropriate final challenge for this branch of the franchise.
My headcannon for Model W is that it's Wile's consciousness connected to the debris of ragnarok given he connected himself to it & the model W biometal is much larger than the others
When Zero started to sing, it sent shiver down my spines. That voice is so so good... Another things I'd like to say is, well, actually two: 1. That range is INSANE. 2. I really like how the rhyming scheme goes, as it follows a structure similar to a poem, it's amazing!
WOWWW!!!! INCREDIBLE!!! The lyical callbacks to previous songs... the understanding of Megaman X and Zero lore... The VOCALS!?!?! I love this so much... Thanks to everyone who helped make this!
Also I like how the line "I'll rip him from his throne!" As well as the artwork are indicative of the Zero Knuckle you use to rip stuff from enemies in Zero 4.
Fantastic as always. Every new Megaman franchise lyrical cover just fills me with immense happiness. Truly makes me wonder what "Save our planet" or one of the other amazing themes from Battlenetwork could be like. ^^
Ayy, a follow-up to the Cannonball cover! Nice!! Would love to hear MOTI do songs from Inti's later games, like Gunvolt or Blaster Master Zero at some point
I LOVED the Garuda Rising fight (even if I got my Metal Attacker’s ass kicked multiple times, it was that good from both story and gameplay perspectives) Though the final Metafighter vs Blaster Master fight also had kickass music.
Hell yeah! Just recently replayed the Zero series, and this is awesome! Probably Darby's most impressive performance on the channel, those belts and especially that last falsetto note give me chills!
YES! I've been wanting you to cover this song for years, ever since Zero's theme was covered. And I even requested this in the song ballot, so I'm so happy to see it made. This cover is better than I could have imagined, Darby absolutely killed as Zero and Tom played Weil perfectly. I'm going to have this on loop for a good while.
Megaman Zero 4 all cleared ! You did good for once Dr Wiley ... Outlived Dr lights creation and saved all of humanity and Reploids for total annihilation... Farewell red Maverick Hunter.... 😭😭😭😭🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡❤️❤️❤️❤️ At least he's with X and Axel now ... But yes . Fight til your dying breath my red Reploid...
I'm speechless. The references, the voice of Darby, the lyrics, EVERYTHING, my God, a true masterpiece. Thanks for bringing out this song for us, we love you MOTI
Pov: It’s your Senior Year in high school and your taking a final test on that teachers class u barely pass every quarter (not yet guys it’s my junior year right now 😅)
I had planned a lyric for this that went “and while you claim you’re a man, I’ll take aim and fire the gun in my hand!” But heh is is so fucking good man
Literally this week i relistened to Cannonball and was fantasising about how falling down would sound like. Thanks for quickly proving me correct in thinking it would be amazing
The lyrics for Zero and Darby's delivery of them are fantastic. Loving the call backs to the cover of Theme of Zero. For only having like five lines in this video, Tom absolutely sells it with his voice for Weil. Would love to see you take on some of the other final boss themes from the Zero/ZX games, especially something like Supreme Ruler or Soul Ablaze
No way.... MegaMan zero mentioned after years I'm still playing MegaMan zero 1-4 Speedrun almost once a year And each year I got faster This game is peak
if we don't get Ciel d' Aube after this I'm gonna understand that it's up to the people running the channel what content they make and respect their decision to leave the megaman zero series songs as is
there are so many songs that would be great to cover for these games, yet MOTI is of course also getting that from every other franchise he covers, and then also some he doesn't cover. So whilst I am personally in favour of more Zero-covers, I also understand that it might not happen. The songs chosen were great tho, Cannonball and Falling Down are honestly musts for how great they are and story importance, and Theme of Zero gives some extra stuff too
Before I even saw what song it was I was delighted to see Mega Man Zero. And now you’ve done a song from every MMZ game except 2… Departure? Id be so happy
From the final robot master meant to destroy all of Light’s creations, to the reploid that would save both the world and Megaman X, to finally finding what he was truly fighting for

Yeah, about that. Zero isn't actually a reploid. He wasn't built from X's blueprints, so he doesn't count as one.

Weil: You have no way of experiencing this without a human brain. It’s the ultimate joy! No mere reploid could ever understand!

Such a badass burn from Zero and true.
Story context: A cyborg mad-scientist has connected himself to the core of a space station that is plummeting to earth. The only way to save the planet is to blow up the core above a certain altitude, which will kill Zero in the process if he succeeds.
Thank you for your service lol
agreed, amazing song btw
@@gabrielrussell5531 oh yeah and the cyborg is a copy of wily but more edgy and its called "weil"
@@lautaroosuna6186 wait wait WTHAT THE FINEST FUCK? Weil is cyborg clone of Wily? THE wily who is CREATOR of ZERO? that was a mindfuck at its finest.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, darby's performance as zero is just jawdropping, you can FEEL the raw emotion in his voice,
This is a great parallel to their cover of Zero's theme, where he started off emotionless, and by the end of the song and the series, he knows what he's fighting for.
And with this, Wiley finally got his wish. He had created a robot that surpassed the creations of Dr.Light.

As did Cyril the Wolf, in his version of Falling Down.
It's even more tragic when you realize that she was probably trying to reach him through the entire fight.
So those were the words I was hearing in Frozenith's Falling Down.

I love frozenith's version, it adds and remixes so much into the final song making it feel like a truely cosmic final battle.

Funny it was his cover of “it has to be this way” from metal gear rising that made love the franchise now I’ve got the masters collection v1 and already beat the games various times
For me it was listening to “Guns Blazing” that caused me to play Undertale Yellow, I’ve completed the pacifist run and am now on the genocide route.
I love how much it correlates with the lyrics of the Zero theme
"Madman's design with a genius's spark"
"Born in the shadow with blade of the light"
"Programmed to fight, but he gave me a heart"
Weil: i am inevitable! (attacks Zero with a beam and leaves him at 1 hp)
Zero: and i ... am....ZERO! (crashes Weil's core and dies in an explosion)
The way Darby wails with the screaming guitar. This is so amazing.
"For many, the few now die" is such a good line
I assume it is a reference to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
Wrong. It is the BEST line. The best line in all of history... Okay, actually no, the reveal of Dabi's true identity in MHA was better.
"Do you have it in you to defeat me?"
"...Didn't you brand me a maverick, just like Copy X before you?"
"So?"
"Well, if I'm a maverick, then you clearly think I am more than capable of harming a human. In any case, you barely qualify as one."
Oh that goes so hard.

I can't help but think that Wily would be proud that his robot survived the longest and did what X couldn't
He was pitiful, so he probably *was* proud of Zero out of spite for dr. Light and Mega / Rock.
Technically speaking, Wily's entire goal was to surpass Dr. Light, so in the end he won
Dr. Willy: Did you see that, Light?! My boy saved yhe world, not yours!!
HAHAHAHA!!
Darby’s vocal range is unbelievable.
Duo I did my lesson

And what other boss has a time limit? That’s right Aztec Falcon! WEIL IS AZTEC FALCON CONFI-

Whoa! That's definitely foreshadowing in my head canon now haha
I also like how the line "I won't return and Heaven will burn" is a potential reference to that specific sect of X vs Zero

@@Archmage_Marmu One is the falling down when you are being taken Care of. This One, is when you are taking Care of business
The Moment that Zero realizes what he's fighting for. Gets me every time. I love this series.
I must say, I initially misread the title as "mega man - falling down the stairs"
I never cared about justice, and I don’t recall ever cal- AH!
When Zero started to sing, it sent shiver down my spines. That voice is so so good...

If they ever do that cover, I'm a die happy.
