ClementJ64 plays Mega Man X4 as Zero - Part 5 of 8


In which we beat all the Mavericks and we find out Clement is robosexual.

All maps by X GOD.

After this last section, you'll take on Cyber Peacock. Like Split Mushroom, he pledges allegience to Sigma and not the Repliforce. Stay on the move and use Ryuenjin on him to stop all of his attacks, causing him to teleport in and out of the room, usually coming back in on top of your current locaiton.

If you don't Ryuenjin, be prepared to dodge the feathers that Cyber Peacock shoots at you as well as his dive attacks..

Beating Cyber Peacock gives you Rakuhouha. Using this attack clears out all enemies currently on the screen, and unlike X's Nova Strike, you can use this up to five times. You'll have to collect weapon pick-ups to refill it, though.

Air Force


There will be blue and white ships that will fire missiles at you. You can use them as platforms, but there will be instances where you'll have to get rid of them to free up the path through the stage.

The blue Robot Ride armor has the ability to hover. Just jump and hold the button in mid-air to get some extra length into your jump. You'll also be able to fire at enemies with the attached laser cannon. Charge the gun for a three-way shot!

The small cannons on legs will follow you around and even jump around once they reach you.

Shortly after you reach the first big ship you can walk on, you'll see a superlaser positioned above two purple ships. Get on top of it and get the Heart Tank before the ships are demolished!


The second area is shorter and mercifully easier.

Use fully-charged X-Buster shots to destroy the green laser turrets.

When you see the spiked walls, use the Lightning Web to find the Arm upgrade. There are two capsules.

In the next room, you'll deal with a wall cannon. Use somersault slashes to destroy it, and take care of the smaller green cannons if you need to. You can only damage the wall cannon when the eye is open.

To beat Storm Owl, equip Rakuhouha. You'll be able to bring him down to half health. From there, just keep using your somersault slash attack on him.

His Double Cyclone projectiles will home in on your current position after he shoot off five of them.

Beating Storm Owl with Zero gives you Tenkuuha. This turns your Z-Saber from green to purple, allowing you to deflect certain enemy shots.

After beating all eight Mavericks, you'll find out the Repliforce is at the spaceport, and that they are planning to go to space!

But first...

Snow Cave


Remember the platform near the end of the snow platform slides you couldn't reach? Use your air dash followed by your double jump to get the EX-Tank. This allows you to start your game with five lives instead of three.

Also, you can go up at the start to find some energy to refill your Sub-Tanks with. You'll also find an extra life. Keep exiting and re-entering the level to get your fill of extra energy and lives!

Now to head to the Space Port.

Space Port


The shield robots can only be damaged from behind.

Despite being a short level, you'll be dealing with a whole lot of spiked ball robots and Repliforce soldiers.

At the end, you'll face Colonel...this time for real. He's much faster, and he has a new attack where he sends electricity across the ground that zaps into the sky. Stand near one of the green panels on the floor and jump to avoid both attacks. He also sends a purple wave on the ground, but it's easy to avoid.

Double jump to avoid the energy waves that he fires from his sword.

Houretsuzan will do the most damage on Colonel out of all the special weapons. Use it from above so you don't have to risk life and limb to hit him.

When you beat Colonel, you'll find out the Repliforce is already in space. You'll have to track them down and stop them!
