Wily, Zero is a robot designed for close-combat. Damage scales down very noticeably in long combos.ĭesigned by the antagonist of other Megaman Series, Dr. Level 1 Hyper moves are hard to utilize, but are brutal if one of them is DHC'ed from a midair HC. Performing his more damaging combos requires very good execution, not to mention the opponent usually has to be in the corner. No overhead attack, has to rely on teleport mixup. Very low stamina, can get killed in two combos by most of the cast easily. + Amazing aerial and ground versatility with special and normal moves. + All his block strings can be made safe because of the duration of his attack strings. + Can deal out quite lot of damage and can easily get damage resets. + Has great range on all of his attacks along with disjointed hitboxes due to his sword. + Projectiles can deal with runaway characters. + Quite a few tricks to open up his opponent's defense. He's actually a nice robot, but as he is surrounded by enemies from other realms, it's difficult to smile. Zero is usually quiet and focuses on getting his job done right, but takes the time to stick around for others.
He is a robot known as a Reploid, which are made to have the appearance, intelligence and free will of humans though technically not a Reploid due to Zero having been built before the term was even coined, he is referred to as such to avoid confusion. He also has a weapon known as the Z-Buster, but this is more of a "sub-weapon", as Zero relies far more on his close-range abilities than he does his long-range. This powerful weapon is compatible with his Learning System, allowing him to observe the battle-techniques of enemies and learn them as sword techniques. His weapon of choice is the Z-Saber, a sword with a blade of concentrated energy. He is easily distinguished by his crimson highlights and long, blonde hair. He is one of the top hunters and has earned an "A rank".
Zero is a member of the Maverick Hunters, a group that hunts down renegade Reploids known as Mavericks.
Zero is one of the main characters in the Mega Man X series and later the lead character of his own series Mega Man Zero.
