Zero (Megaman Zero Series)

Zero is a character in the Megaman X series known for wielding a sword in combat. He was formerly a Maverick Hunter working with X.

Zero really needs to be in this game. Definite support.

I do believe we should use his "classic" look however.

I could have sworn Zero already had a suggestion thread. I'm assuming this is more specifically for Zero as he appears in his own series. I would love to see Zero in Crusade, but I firmly believe he should be a blend of his two incarnations. So, unless this is up to shift to more of a mixed Zero, I'm gonna have to decline to support. Sorry. It's not a bad post, but I'm hyped for a more representative Zero. Plus, including his moves from X gives his moveset a lot more variety.

As far as advice goes, I'd recommend explaining his abilities in a bit more depth. What exactly are the Recoil Rods, and how are they functionally different to the Z-Saber? What's the 1000 slash ex skill? Stuff like that.
