Biometal Mega Man ZX Suits: When Armor Meets Mood Ring
Mega Man is one of the classic icons in the whole of Video Game Kingdom. He’s up there alongside Mario, Sonic, Lara Croft, et. al. So, naturally, when the new Mega Man ZX gets released, ripples of excitement are bound to spread like wildfire. Now, before its American release, here’s a little something-something to tide you over!
Way back when, it was already announced that Mega Man ZX was to boast a plethora of “Living Metal” armor suits. Here, we have the list of your biometal suits that both Vent and Aile can use in the game. Each biometal suits will allow you to use different kinds of abilities.
First row, left to right:
X: basic armor that comes with an X buster, and comes with all the basic skills (dash, wall jumps, etc) that Mega Man players are used to. XZ: this is based on Zero’s suit, and has your typical Zero abilities of a long range buster attack and a beam saber that can do combos. FX: the FX suit is built on the element of fire and can rapidly shoot fire blasts in two directions at once, useful for breaking blocks when charged up.
Second row, left to right:
HX: this one, on the other hand, is built on wind, and is the ultimate exploration suit as it allows you to dash up into the air and hover around. LX: the LX suit is that of ice, and aside from being able to shoot ice platforms over land, it also gives you the ability to dash underwater. PX: the suit is non-elemental, mostly based on electricity and is the “ninja” suit that allows you to latch on to platforms and pipes, and even make you see things clearly in the dark.
Well, these biometal suits aren’t much different from the different kinds of abilities you absorb from killing bosses in the previous games. The concept is still the same – that you can change your “suit” to suit your mood – but for Mega Man ZX, it makes for an interesting twist to the franchise.
