Defeating Zero
If you didn't defeat the X-Hunters in the first eight stages, then you'll have to fight Zero before Sigma. Bad move. If you defeat the X-Hunters (kind of wish they could of killed X first, the whiny little wuss), you'll get Zero's "Parts" back. (Warning: Zero fans should be careful, because you will literally have his head in your inventory.) If not, well, nice knowing you. Zero is hard. I found him harder than Sigma. I suggest avoiding battle with him, since you'll need your Sub-Tanks for Sigma. No matter where you are in the room, Zero can and will hit you in some way. He's gained his well-known beam sabre now, and uses it. It can take a lot of life off. If you're on the ground, he uses his beam sabre/arm cannon. If you're on the wall, he uses his beam sabre/arm cannon. If you're anywhere else, he'll hit the ground so hard that it busts apart and little pieces of it fly up and smack you. Haha, I can just imagine X whining.... "The floor is hitting me! Wah!" Try and avoid as much of Zero's attacks as possible, since you need to conserve energy. Once you've knocked some sense into him (literally), X will go all mushsy and start worrying about our favorite crimson Reploid. Zero gives the silent treatment, hits the ground again, opening the way to Sigma. Now, if you had just taken out those darned X hunters before, Zero'd be saving X's butt (again) instead. If you rescued Zero, Sigma will have a silver haired green armored clone (who Zero blows up). Good luck, and don't have too much fun beating up on poor Zero.
