Well, as promised, we are featuring on the main blog the best that can be found on our boards. Today, we bring you the famous Zero character, from the Megaman X series.
This moveset is especially complete and balanced. It also comes with a pack that totally replaces Link for Zero (except for the annoncer’s voice) and that’s why we have voted to feature it.
However, please take note that, even if it is complete, not all of Zero’s attacks have been described here … Only the most revelant ones.
ZERO!
Taking Link’s place in the Brawl, Zero is a character whose defining traits are mobility and versatility. His concept was taken primarily from the Megaman X series, though it draws quite a bit on the Megaman Zero series for his varied weaponry. Perhaps Cain has fitted him with these weapons?
Zero’s Forward Tilt is very unusual. He draws out the Triple Rod (a spear-like weapon from Megaman Zero) and spins it. If you hold the A button, he will thrust it out, reaching startlingly far — otherwise, Zero will simply put away the rod.
Forward Smash is a powerful swipe. Remniscient of the first beam sabre attack Zero ever possessed, this move makes up in power what it lacks in speed. If you fully charge your Forward Smash, Zero will perform Raijingeki.
Down Smash is based off of Megaman Zero’s unusual Recoil Rods. These small blades were thrust into the ground to propel Zero into the air — just as they do here. They cause a damaging explosion, which is the part you’ll usually be hitting with.
This move can be very potent if used strategically, considering it launches you right into a jump, allowing you to go from that into any aerial, or even an up smash. The longer you charge the rods, the higher you jump.
No Zero would be complete without his trademark rolling cut. His neutral air is exactly that — a spinning attack that covers a huge area. It gradually does less damage as it goes on. Worth noting is that this attack can do no more than 6% to an opponent on the ground.
If you press down on the joystick in the middle of the move, Zero will stop spinning and hold his blade outward to cut enemies below him. He’ll hold this attack until you release down or until he hits the ground. Time the transition properly from spin to cut and you could hit with both, dealing up to 15%!
Zero’s Neutral B is his Buster. A tap releases three small shots that deal 1% each. Good for messing your opponents up. You can charge the Buster by holding the B button while on the ground, but you can’t move during this. (You can roll to either side by pressing that direction or shield out by pressing shield.) Zero’s Buster can accumulate 2 charges, signified while charging by Zero’s changing tint (and the flash around him).
The first charge is a blaster shot that deals 4%. The second is an enormous blue shot that deals 11%. If you charge up both, you can release them both in quick succession by tapping B twice with the proper timing.
Side B is the most trademark of moves to any Megaman X or Zero game, and it is arguably Zero’s most potent — the Dash. Zero dashes forward at great speed with this! This can be performed once in the air before landing, unless he is hit. It can be canceled into any aerial attack, or on the ground, into a dash attack or a grab.
Up B is the second tool in Zero’s arsenal of mobility, which is the Upward Dash. It’s exactly as it sounds — Zero dashes upward, granting him extra height without making him vulnerable. This can be used once until you land or are hit. Note that his fiery jets can deal 3% to those below him (but it doesn’t spike).
If you press Up B a second time in the air, Zero will throw out his tether. Angle the stick diagonally to do a turnaround tether!
Down B is unique, and draws directly from Megaman Zero. With this, Zero pulls out his trusty Boomerang Shield and carries it with him. This protects Zero from projectiles while he is standing, crouching, or walking forward at his slowest pace. More importantly it can be used as a boomerang to attack. This comes at a cost, however — the boomerang throw replaces his dash, limiting his speed and recovery. Be ready to put it away or chuck it when you’re off the edge!
Depicted: Zero holding his shield and performing Raijingeki.
Finally, this isn’t an attack, but no discussion of Zero’s aerial capabilites would be complete without mentioning… he can climb walls.
Just like the games, Zero can scale a wall by moving toward it and jumping. By holding the joystick toward the wall, he will gently slide down. Pressing jump will allow him to ascend.
GIGA ATTACK
Zero’s final smash is groundbreaking — literally.
With tremendous force, Zero strikes the earth with his fist, flinging anyone in the vicinity away. (In the air he simply explodes with energy.) That doesn’t seem to be too lethal, actually… but Zero is now glowing with energy, and his Saber has turned purple. Maybe he’s got something new up his sleeve…?
Changes during Final Smash:
- Zero is invincible
- Infinite Side B / Up B / Double jumps
- Neutral B is always fully charged
- Forward Smash becomes Raijingeki – see 1st image above
- Up Smash becomes Ryuenjin – see 2nd image above
- Down Smash always goes to full height
- Jab/Ftilt/Utilt/Dtilt are faster
- Dash attack becomes a multi-hit rolling slash
- Dair becomes Hyouretsuzan – freezing ice blade
- Uair becomes Denjin – electric uppercut
- Nair multi-hits and reflects
- Fair slashes twice
- Bair’s kick is fiery (and more damaging)
Have fun as your enemy scrambles to get away! Be warned — Zero’s awakened state only lasts for so long. The more you do, the quicker it ends — but it will end even quicker if you sit still. Try to KO all your foes!

No FIRSTS !
(Besides, time for a little rant : this news editor is a total JERK ! It centers/decenters pics and text at random, cannot manage to understand what “Skiping a line” means, and basically just screwed up all my presentation.
If someone here is able to tame the beast, could you make this … THING put a vertical space between the pictures, and the description of the next move ? :3
Thanks. )

Pretty sure everyone knows about this PSA but I suppose it deserves some attention… again.
I should take a better texture for it though. The tunic is hideous.
It looks like all the text and pictures are fine. Idk what you’re talking about, Miacis.
Thanks for posting though =)

That’s because I struggled for about half an hour on simply the presentation to not make it look crappy. ^_^’
Only thing I couldn’t change are the lines skipped between a picture and the text just below it. I looks kinda cluttered like that.

@Zephron:
1. the Snapshots, if you don’t noticed, are blurry. you need to preview the pics to watch them better
2. Almost everything in link’s textures is kinda stretched.
3. This one was one of the first textures that I made, so is obviously hideous, and don’t worry about that, i plan to revamp Zero in these days…….

Wow, I had a lot of fun playing around with this guy. Problem, though, it says “If you press Up B a second time in the air, Zero will throw out his tether. Angle the stick diagonally to do a turnaround tether!” But when tis doesn’t happen. He stutters in the air when you try to press up B again. It does come out when you are near the ledge though.
