Here are your Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection Community Heroes winners!

Mar 24, 2020 // Kellen Haney

A few weeks back, we ran a contest asking a simple question – what do the Mega Man Zero and ZX games mean to you? We received a variety of entries, including art, cosplay pictures, videos, and collections of photographs, and it was incredibly difficult to choose just three grand prize winners. Read on to find out who those three winners are, as well as a selection of honorable mentions!

In no particular order, here are your winners of the Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection Community Heroes contest – complete with commentary from the development team at Capcom Japan!

Art by @Mateo_Lisboa

From the dev team:
“This art piece is both charming and beautiful. Not only is Ciel offering prayers for Zero, but for his enemies, allies, and characters from the Mega Man ZX universe as well. How lovely!”

From the dev team:
“This Mega Man Zero and Mega Man ZX Model ZX collaboration is pretty fantastic. Are those small traces of damage on Model ZX’s helmet indicative of his efforts in battle?”

From the dev team:
“Zero is looking super stylish here, between the costume and poses you’ve chosen. It’s not every day that you see Zero taking a break like this either!”


All three of our grand prize winners will be receiving a Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection Limited Edition from Japan as outlined in our initial contest post. Congratulations to all three! That said, we had so many great entries, we couldn’t just leave it at that, so we picked a few more that really stood out and asked the dev staff to provide comments on those, too.

Here are our honorable mentions:

Art by @BoyGhiaccio

From the dev team:
“This representation of Zero is unforgettable thanks to the personal touches and interpretation you’ve added. We’d love to see how Model ZX and Model A from the Mega Man ZX series look when drawn in this same vein.”

Art by @Killy_1228

From the dev team:
“It’s almost as though you can hear what Prairie is saying in each frame with the variety of expressions you’ve given her. Glasses suit her quite well, too.”

Plushes by @SupernovaSwirls

From the dev team:
“Both Model ZX and Model Z have been skillfully crafted down to the finest of details. Was it difficult to create such realistic Biometals out of these materials? You can definitely use this to Megamerge with Model ZX!”

Art by @ZeroZx59694231

From the dev team:
“Did you make these out of paper? We think you did a fantastic job recreating these in such fine detail. If you make Model H and Model L, please post them. We’d love to see them!”

Cosplay by @TekunoTheSecond

From the dev team:
“We think you’ve done a truly admirable job recreating the complex shapes of Model ZX’s helmet. If you have any full-body shots of you in this cosplay, we’d love to see those, too.”

Art by @guillenineteen

From the dev team:
“The digitalization of Zero’s hair in this art piece is really intriguing. The feel of Omega’s ominous presence in the background will certainly evoke certain emotions for those who’ve played these games, too.”

Photo by @MattJMcBride

From the dev team:

“These photos are truly overflowing with love for the Mega Man Zero and Mega Man ZX series! We appreciate your dedication and look forward to your continued support of the Mega Man brand.”


And there you have it! There were dozens and dozens of entries, and it was incredibly difficult to shrink it down to the three grand prize winners and our seven honorable mentions. A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to submit an entry! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – Mega Man is nothing without the fans, and you all really showed some amazing talent. For even more entries, check out the #ZeroZXContest tag on Twitter, and be sure to show some love to all the people who shared their amazing cosplay, artwork, photographs, and more. We aren’t able to show every single entry here, but you can brighten someone’s day by letting them know you appreciate what they do!

That’s all for the time being, but when things look rough, think of what Ciel would do – she’d do her best to make this world a better place.

Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection: The Road to S Rank!

Mar 24, 2020 // Kellen Haney

It’s been about a month since the release of Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection. Remember that hidden stage in Z Chaser that we revealed in our Launch Trailer? We’ve got info on how to unlock it, and tips on how to get top times in Z Chaser!

Here’s how to unlock the above stage, and it’s easier than you think:

Clear all 12 available stages in Z Chaser with an S Rank or better!

Think that’s not so simple?

In order to help you out, we spoke with “The Chasers” – Capcom staff who recorded Z Chaser’s ghost data – about how to clear each stage with an S Rank. Follow these tips, and you, too, can unlock the hidden Mega Man Antique stage!

Advice Applicable to All Stages

Find Your Optimal Button Configuration!

Here’s one example. The game’s Producer, Director, and the Chasers all use this configuration.

Did you know that you can adjust your button configuration before you start playing? If not, sorry that this wasn’t more clear.

You can adjust your button configuration via the Settings menu. Keep in mind that you can’t adjust your buttons once each course begins, so make sure to choose the configuration that works best for you beforehand.

Dash + Jump Works Better Than a Series of Dashes

If you dash several times in succession, you’ll notice that your character stands up for a split second between dashes. This actually ends up adding on to your overall time. If you jump right after you dash instead, you can shave some time off your run. The time difference is really minimal, but it can be the key to successfully achieving an S Rank.

Leverage Boss Weaknesses to Cut Down Your Time

The most effective way to cut down your time is to defeat bosses quickly.

Watch how the ghost data moves in Z Rank and ZZ Rank, and do your best to mimic these movements where you can.

Individual Stage Advice

Mega Man Zero: Normal (Disposal Center)

This is an enemy called “Contrainer”.

On top of the abandoned building, you’ll encounter an enemy called “Contrainer”, which acts as a weather control device. If you hit the green crystal on top with a single Buster Shot, the wind will change direction. This will help you move more quickly through the stage.

There’s a series of ladders at this point in the stage. The S Rank ghost doesn’t use all of the ladders, so this is a chance for you to shave off some time.

There’s a series of ladders at one point in the stage, but it’s faster using wall jumps to clear this area. Changing the wind’s direction to a tailwind will make it easier to use wall jumps here.

Mega Man Zero: Hard (Neo Arcadia Core)

Three of the twelve playable Z Chaser stages include boss rushes. This is one of them. As suggested before, watch how the Z Rank and ZZ Rank ghost data moves, and study how they defeat each boss. After that, concentration is key!

Mega Man Zero 2: Normal (Forest of Notus)

Use whatever items and tools you can!

Before starting this course, select “Ultimate Form” from the Settings menu. This alone should make this strategy significantly easier for you.

 This enemy is especially smart and dangerous.

Smaller enemies in this stage are pretty strong, so it’s important to continuously charge your Z Saber for attacks while you move through the stage. If it’s difficult for you to charge while doing other things, try adjusting your button settings.

Mega Man Zero 2: Hard (Shuttle Factory)

Use the effects of the Ice Chip to freeze Magma Packets.

Select “Ultimate Form” as your form, and equip “Ice Chip” as your element.

You can use an Ice Chip charged shot to freeze magma packets and use them as platforms. Doing this will drastically decrease the level of danger in this stage.

Jump at this exact moment!

You’ll face Fighting Fefnir as the boss in this stage, so we recommend changing your element to the Thunder Chip when taking him on.

Here’s one point of advice when facing this strong opponent. Fighting Fefnir attacks by shooting pillars of fire from the ground, which will move in Zero’s direction. You can avoid them by jumping over them at just the right moment. If the flames are too far away, you won’t be able to clear them and will take damage instead.

Mega Man Zero 3: Normal (Oceanic Highway Ruins)


The terrain here is challenging. Beware of spikes and other hazards as you progress through the stage.

Both the route and terrain in this stage are challenging. Watch the ghost data and completely familiarize yourself with your route. It’s also important to continually charge your weapon while dashing, and take down the smaller enemies that stand in your way.

Mega Man Zero 3: Hard (Weil’s Research Laboratory)

This is another boss rush stage. Your best bet is to watch the Z Rank and ZZ Rank ghost data’s movements, but Zero also has EX Skills in Mega Man Zero 3! EX Skills pack a punch, so they can help you take down enemies even faster than leveraging their weaknesses.

Mega Man Zero 4: Normal (Hanging Gardens)

The Ice Javelin will keep going for a bit, even if you destroy an enemy with it. How convenient!

For this stage, equip the Ice Javelin EX Skill and use it effectively.

Ice Javelins from charged Buster Shots move at the same speed as Zero when he dashes. If you consciously attack and keep the Ice Javelin in front of you, you can use it as an alternative to your shield. This stage’s boss is weak to ice, so we strongly recommend using this against him.

Mega Man Zero 4: Hard (Teleporter Circuit)

Take a small amount of damage and escape. Think of how to use taking damge to your advantage!

There are several hazards in this stage, so decreasing the time it takes you to reach the boss is important here. Memorizing the terrain and your route will of course be helpful. Another effective method is using the temporary invincibility that comes from taking damage, ignoring enemies’ attacks, and moving forward. If you equip the Body Chip’s Extend skill, this momentary invincibility will last a bit longer, giving you an additional advantage.

Mega Man ZX: Normal (Area H: Amusement Park)

You can’t do long-range attacks, but Model HX sure can move!

In this stage, Model HX’s high-speed movements can come in handy. Model HX also has a special skilled called Plasma Cyclone that can be used to generate tornadoes. This attack gives you an advantage during the boss fight and can help shorten your time in this stage.

Mega Man ZX: Hard (Area L: Research Lab)

There are several instances early in the stage where you’ll need to break containers with your Buster, so we recommend Model FX or Model ZX.

That device on the right side of the screen flips your directional inputs. Make sure to shut it down.

Mid-stage, you’ll encounter an antenna sending out signals. Shut it down by hitting it with a Buster Shot. In particular, blue-colored Jammer Parabolas can scramble your controls, so do what you can to destroy them.

The ghost data uses Model PX, but we strongly recommend Model HX!

When you enter the fourth area of this stage, you’ll find an area rife with spikes. Megamerge with Model HX here. Use dashes and hover skills to clear this area.

Mega Man ZX Advent: Normal (Control Center)

Taking full advantage of the A-Trans feature makes all the difference in this stage.

The ivy in the middle of the screen is important. Time to transform into Rospark!

The S Rank ghost data uses the elevator in this stage, but it’s faster to use A-Trans and transform into Rospark the Floroid to climb up the ivy ahead of the elevator. Ashe climbs the ivy faster than Grey, giving her a slight advantage.

Technique is important in this area. Make use of Buckfire’s abilities here!

Transforming into Buckfire the Gaxelleroid is best for using wall kicks to climb. Rospark the Floroid is effective for taking down the last boss, so take advantage of A-Trans and cut down your overall time.

Mega Man ZX Advent: Hard (Ouroboros)

This is the last boss rush stage in Z Chaser. Unfortunately, all we can say here is, “Good luck!” Use all of the techniques you’ve learned, mimic the Z Rank and ZZ Rank ghost data, and achieve that S Rank finish!

We hope these tidbits for each stage were helpful. Are you ready to unlock and take on the Mega Man Antique stage in Z Chaser? R.O.C.K. On!

Feb 28, 2020 // Kellen Haney

There’s only one Zero, but you can be a hero of your own with our latest contest! We’re looking for members of the Mega Man community to showcase their talents with a prize you’ll definitely want to get your hands on – a Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection Limited Edition straight from Japan! Read on for more info and how to enter.

The Mega Man community is incredibly talented across countless fields. There’s musical remixes, re-drawn sprites, all kinds of artwork, fan games, cosplay, Mega Man-themed ballads… I could keep going, but you get the idea. So we got to thinking about how we could celebrate and share all that you do as a community, and we decided the best way was to try to highlight as much of that creativity as possible with a contest! Got a Zero-themed song you’re writing? Maybe you’ve been itching to draw Aile? Put together a Grey cosplay? Maybe you havethe craziest collection of Zero and ZX game boxes and memorabilia ever? Have you posed your figures into the perfect action scene? We want to see it, and we want you to share it so the entire community can celebrate what we all love about these games and characters. In other words: We want you to express what these games mean to you.

But this is a contest, after all, and a contest means there’s booty… er, prizes! Here’s what you’ll be in the running to win – a Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection Limited Edition from Japan:

Officially, this is the Rockman Zero & ZX Double Hero Collection: e-Capcom Limited Edition, only available at the online e-Capcom store based out of Japan. As you can imagine, these are a little difficult to get a hold of in North America, so we figured it would be a fitting prize. Each one includes a (Japanese) copy of the game for Switch, an acrylic print featuring some of the most memorable villains from both the Zero and ZX games, a  of Z Saber-themed charm (either “normal” or “Omega,” chosen at random), and of course a “Double Hero” bust of Zero and Vent in his Megamerged ZX form. It makes for one heck of a conversation starter.

This Limited Edition is something truly special, and a panel of Capcom staff will be picking three of our favorite entries to win this exceptional prize – no easy task for us considering what you all are capable of. It’s your job to make our job harder in that regard, so we’re looking forward to seeing what all of you come up with!

Remember – the goal isn’t to necessarily show us the objectively best piece of art / music / cosplay / performance art / figures posed in a cool way / etc., but rather to express what these games mean to you.

How To Enter
Post your entry to Twitter using the hashtag #ZeroZXContest – easy! We’ll be using that tag to look for entries, so please make sure it’s spelled correctly in your post. For the sake of describing the contest, we’re looking for entries that can qualify as artwork, cosplay, a video, or an image of your personal stash of Zero and/or ZX games, figures, and the like. Only one entry per person, so make it count!

Since there’s been plenty of great fan creations posted over the last week for the launch of the game, we don’t want to leave you out of luck if you’ve already shared something creative this past week. In this case, quote retweet your post with the hashtag #ZeroZXContest to be entered. We’ll consider content that was posted as far back as February 22nd, 2020 when it comes to selecting entries for the contest.

The contest runs for two weeks, now through 11:59 PM PST on March 13th, 2020, so don’t want too long to get your entry in.

There are additional legal lines you should know about before you enter, too. We encourage you to read through them here:
Competition Rules for Mega Man Zero/ZX Community Heroes Competition

We’ll be in close contact with the winners to coordinate sending out prizes as soon as they arrive and winners have been decided, so we recommend following @MegaMan on Twitter so we can easily contact you.

Bust Some Bosses with Tips and Tricks for Mega Man Zero

Feb 26, 2020 // Kellen Haney

Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection is finally out for PS4, XB1, Switch, and PC via Steam! How have you been enjoying the games so far? For newcomers, the first Mega Man Zero game might be a bit difficult, so don’t be afraid to use the Casual Scenario Mode and Assist-Save features to play each game at your own pace. Some of you out there surely want to experience these games at their original difficulty and level of challenge, so here are few tips and tricks for defeating some of the earlier bosses in Mega Man Zero!

■ Aztec Falcon

One of the keys to defeating Aztec Falcon is using the walls to your advantage. When Aztec Falcon approaches from the opposite end of the screen, jump up the wall, then leap over him to slash him from behind with your Z Saber. Repeat this process, and you should be able to take him down.

You’ll need a bit of technical skill to strike Aztec Falcon from behind this way, so make sure to practice – you can use Assist-Save if you’d like to get some practice in, too!

Beware his vacuum attack. Repeatedly dash in the opposite direction to make sure you don’t get sucked in.

Another way to defeat Aztec Falcon is to charge your Zero Buster while repeatedly wall jumping, then blast him when he attaches himself to the opposite wall.

You’ll definitely need some technical skill to charge your Zero Buster while performing wall jumps, so choose whichever combat approach works best for you.

■ Pantheon Core

The key pattern for defeating this boss is to wait until it finishes spouting fire to approach and slash it with your Z Saber. After two short bursts of fire, Pantheon Core will follow with a longer fire attack. This is your moment to escape to the far left side of the screen to unleash a charged Buster attack. After this longer fire attack, the floor panels will raise individually, attempting to crush you into the spikes above. You can avoid demise by moving forward one segment at a time. If you repeat this process, you can destroy the Pantheon Core!

■ Anubis Necromancess the Third

Anubis Necromancess attacks by throwing his staff at Zero. After this attack, he teleports to the other side of the screen, so you can effectively use that moment to do some damage with your Z Saber. His movement patterns can change, but he typically repeats the teleporting pattern above. Use your Z Saber and Zero Buster to dispose of the enemies he summons.

Dust clouds telegraph where spiked pillars will rise from the sand, so dash to evade them. If you find yourself in between two pillars, jump from the highest point on the ground, and wall jump up one of the pillars to avoid being crushed. If you try to escape by jumping from lower spots, you’ll definitely take some damage!

■ Maha Ganeshariff

In order to defeat Maha Ganeshariff, it’s important to safely evade each of his various attacks. You can disrupt his pendulum attack by using your Z Saber to cut the wire from which he swings.

For his rolling attack, a perfectly timed jump will help you avoid damage, but you’ll have to carefully dodge the bombs that follow. Maha Ganeshariff always drops bombs in designated locations, so there are safe points you can use to escape. In other words, if you dodge his rolling attack in this “safe zone,” you don’t have to worry about the bombs. Check out the video above to get a sense of where these safe areas are.

Maha Ganeshariff’s hand slap attack won’t hurt you if you’re far enough from him, so attack him from afar with a charged Buster shot. You’ll have a chance to land a massive attack on him once he stops! Use this opportunity to go to town with your Z Saber.

One more thing: you won’t be able to dodge Maha Ganeshariff’s attacks if you fight at the edge of the screen. Make sure you stick to the middle of the screen during combat.

■ Guard Orotic

Guard Orotic’s attacks always come from the right first, so escape to the left and then prepare yourself to escape to the right from the equivalent left-side attack. After evading two attacks, use your Z Saber to attack Guard Orotic’s core. You should be able to defeat him if you follow this pattern.

Evading attacks from the blue and green arms can be difficult while standing opposite from the attacking arm. In these instances, you’ll have better luck avoiding damage by standing behind the attacking arm on the same side (e.g., on the left side of the screen when the left arm attacks).


So, what do you think? Hopefully these tips will make it a bit easier to clear some of the earlier stages in Mega Man Zero. Regardless of which boss you fight, moving around recklessly will result in taking damage. Move in response to your opponents’ patterns so you can plan a counter-attack to unleash some serious damage.

Once you’ve successfully mastered these tips, we’d love for you to try your hand at completing each of the six games in Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection and get your fastest time on the leaderboards in Z Chaser. Best of luck!

MISSION START! Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection is out now!

Feb 25, 2020 // Kellen Haney

Let’s go.

Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection is out now for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam! Six games, including all four Mega Man Zero games and both Mega Man ZX games Megamerge into one excellent collection for $29.99! You can grab a copy digitally or from your local retailer on console now, and read on for more info on what this excellent collection includes.

A Hero Reborn
Set far in the future after the Mega Man X games, join Zero as he wakes up from a long slumber to uncover fragments of his forgotten past. With the help of the brilliant scientist Ciel, you’ll take up your Z Saber to put an end to the oppressive rule of Neo Arcadia’s vicious leader – and uncover a much deeper plot as you progress through each game. Learn more about what happened to characters like X as you go, and discover terrifying foes like Omega and the twisted Dark Elf.

Zero won’t be fighting alone as the four-game saga unfolds. Alongside the friends and foes that Zero will encounter, you’ll also meet Cyber-elves, friendly sprites that can aid Zero on his journey and change how you play in a variety of ways across each game. You’ll need all the help you can get, too – with tough enemies and tougher battles ahead, all of your skills will be put to the test! Play well, and you’ll be rewarded with new moves and abilities to use as you progress.

A New Generation
The Mega Man ZX games pick up a few hundred years after the events of the Mega Man Zero games, where humans and Reploids have finally started to live in peace… until an age-old threat rears its ugly head once again. Across both games, you’ll learn about a new generation of heroes and villains that have their own unique power: the ability to Megamerge with powerful artifacts from a bygone era known as Biometals.

Drawing on power from the heroes of the past, you’ll take on the role of Aile or Vent in Mega Man ZX as they fight the Maverick menace and stop the rise of a new villain wielding a relic of their own. Several years later, join Ashe or Gray as they discover a new relic, Biometal Model A, and fight to learn more about who they are and their role as a Mega Man, one of a few chosen ones who can use Biometals.

Modern Classics
If you’re looking for something a bit less intense, a new “Casual Scenario” option can be turned on for each game, reducing difficulty and adding a variety of helpful features that are great for younger players, those who want to enjoy the story, or for a variety of other reasons. If you don’t have much time to play, the “Save-Assist” feature will place helpful checkpoints throughout each game, making it easy to pick up where you left off or tackle a tough section without losing a bunch of progress. The power of how you want to play is in your hands!

Speaking of, there are multiple visual filters to switch between at any time. Stick with the original pixels, or switch to a smoothing filter for a more modern visual feel. There’s also a CRT filter for a nice retro look! Multiple screen layouts are also available for the Mega Man ZX games, allowing you to customize the look and feel of each game.

Cut to the Chase
Alongside all six games, you’ll also get access to a new mode created just for Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection: Z Chaser. This unique speed-run mode challenges you to finish stages as fast as possible!

Street Fighter V: Champion Edition and New Character Seth Available Now on PS4 and PC!

Feb 14, 2020 // Dan

Hey there Capcom Unity! Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope your day is being filled with love and happiness. Speaking of love and happiness, I want to help spread the love by happily announcing the launch of Street Fighter V: Champion Edition and Seth! 

If you’re new to SFV, Street Fighter V: Champion Edition can get you caught up very quickly with all available characters, stages and costumes (excluding Fight Chance costumes, brand collaboration costumes and Capcom Pro Tour DLC), along with all the modes and features. In total Street Fighter VChampion Edition includes all 40 characters, 34 stages and over 200 costumes!

With the coming of a new iteration of Street Fighter V comes a new character, or in this case a returning one. As an avid Seth player from the days of Street Fighter IV, I’m excited to be talking about the return of Seth in Street Fighter V: Champion Edition. Seth arrives in SFV:CE with a different look than in SFIV. Seth’s consciousness awakens inside the body of Doll Unit Zero and is equipped with a new set of moves.

The King of Chaos returns!

Using Seth’s V-Skill I “Tanden Engine” will draw in the opponent, and the follow-up move “Tanden Install” will absorb their data. This opens up a ton of combo variety depending on who your opponent is.   V-Skill II is a fast forward dash that can be followed up with one of Seth’s special moves to create combo extensions. For a full written rundown of Seth’s abilities visit the Champion Edition announcement blog or check out these Seth Preview Videos!

You’ll notice that Seth’s body changes form when mimicking moves from various characters. If Seth steals moves from bigger characters, Seth’s new Doll Unit Zero body also grows to their size when using their attacks. Watching Seth’s muscles expand when mimicking characters like Zangief or Abigail is truly a sight to behold. Even stealing Blanka’s “Rolling Attack” has Seth mirroring some of Blanka’s animalistic like tendencies.

Rolling attacks? Seth’s got those.

One of my favorite aspects of Seth is how the combo potential changes with each opponent you face. Although I am a Laura main in SFV I have been enjoying playing as Seth to steal Laura’s “Thunder Clap.” Stealing that move has allowed more combo opportunities in addition to some new mixups. Test out all of Seth’s stolen abilities and see how it fits best with your combos!

Seth’s ability to steal moves on the fly may come as a shock to some…

Street Fighter V: Champion Edition is now available physically and digitally on PlayStation 4 and as a digital download on Steam for MSRP $29.99. For current Street Fighter V players, the Upgrade Kit for MSRP $24.99 offers INSTANT ACCESS to Seth and all available Champion Edition content.

With that, we would like to thank everyone for a great start to 2020! Please stay tuned to our social media channels for all the latest news and happenings. Thanks again and we hope you enjoy both Seth and Street Fighter V: Champion Edition!
