Good writing was never a strong point of the X series, but what the characters should be like was conveyed well enough. That's all the fans need to pick up Capcom's slack.

When X dons the ultimate armor you know he's that pissed

And daft punk cameo

@David Goldammer daft punk, it is a band has really good music too

And no baby voice for X

Hope I manage to live other 70 years

In the future if my grandchildren ever need a patience lesson, I’ll tell them the story of MMX Corrupted... our patience will be rewarded I believe that

20XX

20xx is real xd

... 😶💔

Now we just need the rest of the Avengers!

Not to mention the opening theme is absolute perfection in how it ties well with the introduction of X and the setting of the entire stage. Chefs kiss 🤌

X was the maverick hunter leader for X2 and maybe even X3 before becoming a leader of a platoon. 18th I believe.

Truly an amazing work of this man, keep it up!

I don't know why, but I actually felt as if the game had proper Japanese voice acting work. I mean, I almost *heard* what the characters were saying, even the low-ranking Hunters too! There's a certain flow and elegance to this intro stage, and I'm glad JKB put all of his spirit into it. I hope that the rest of this game turns out great. 😊👍

You right with all of this but one thing. This does not need to be the closure. I hope that it gets the Street Fighter Cross Megaman treatment or the Sonic Mania one. THIS SHOULD BE SUPPORTED BY CAPCOM!!! Sorry for caps but it had to be said.

@@Franky_Sthein but I meant closure for this year hahahaha but yes. I really hope this ends being supported by Capcom itself :)

This is so much better then other fangames.

Based on the figure, indeed. What I never got to see from Capcom, but JKB fulfilled our wish, and gave us that wonderful homage to that particular figure that Bandai and Capcom worked on.

The armor sequence is actually a Saint Seiya reference. JKB said it himself both on live and in his discord server.

Fully agree! For me, Sonic 3 & Knuckles has firmly held the crown for 2D storytelling with gameplay, but MMX Corrupted single-handedly dethrones it.

@David Goldammer i'm a huge X fan david! my favorite X games are definitely X1 and X3

@@GGGabrielGaming my favorite is X4.

@David Goldammer also X6 was trash.

@David Goldammer x7 is a literal nightmare but x8 isnt the worst its kinda meh tho id deff rate it higher then 6 and 7

@David Goldammer X8 is better than a lot of people may have you believe, but it still has some problems

Ironically, the idea existed in the official concept art for the Ultimate Armor, just never shown ingame.

That's in Megaman X Dive too.

@@X_Gon_Give_It_To_Ya This game looks so much better than X Dive!

Why would capcom think a gacha system would be good in a megaman game... I have higher hopes for corrupted than x dive

@KamiSquad_X Although the concept behind X Dives seems alright. But the whole gacha system kinda ruins everything for me. I dont want to RNG ultimate armor X and black Zero. I dont want to grind an unnecessary amount of times on a short single level. There is no need for such complex upgrades that affects your progress in the game. I just want a simple plantformer. I want a megaman game. Megaman X Dive is not a Megaman game to me.

Ah yes, JKB, dominic ninmark and the sprite AI

@@ikilledthemoon yes

X3 is your fav? Based

Ikr not abomination in X7 and X8, capcom really ruin everything.

He probably loses the Ultimate armor doing that providing justification on why you start the game proper with nothing

Typical main protagonists.

I think X being this mature is also in line with him transforming after the x5 events, I think him keeping the ultimate armor after the eurasia events is a clear reference to this, zero is dead, but he has to go forward and face his biggest fears, one of said fears is having too much power on his hands. This is what makes his parallel with Strike so strong, X doesn't want the power but uses it for the sake of humanity and reploids alike, but even fears said power, meanwhile Strike seeks power above anything else for selfish reasons.

At least he seems more resolute and confident in his ability. Not the pacifistic wuss that Capcom turned his character into.

every dead franchise be like

Everything non-official game can save his franchise

Is it already out and playable?

its still on progress even its really slow (edited)

@@TheDarkizer no? did they get hit with a cease letter?

I haven't been excited for 15 seconds of an armor up since I was kid. He then flies at the screen and then bam a Nova Strike right onto the stage. This is your hero.

@@eidorianseeker Makes me curious if Zero and Synthia have similar intros.

@@RiderManX0 im curious now.

Tony Stark: "I raised that boy"

Iron man sucks

My exact sentiments. It's been far to long since I've played/anticipated a MMX game of this caliber.

All the parts of the game remind me my childhood in the 90's. Capcom should come back to make Megaman this way

Seriously, I have chills watching this. I'm 33 now but the 10 year old in me is fucking HYPED. This is incredible.

Totally Not Related, But This Intro Stage He Made With Hard Work And Love Motivated Me To Complete My Nursing Application.

The kid me if he saw thid would have shat his pants. This is a masterpiece waiting for when it's out.

Showed up on mine today!!

Yes! It appeared in mine to TODAY and HOLY SHIT!

I too would like to play it one day! Like this saga it has been part of my childhood :')

Br kkkkikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Kids quitting because the game's too hard. They don't know that with failure is how you learn.

As was it for my youth

The zero series are also part of it i think, but still amazing game zero 1-4 and zx series are my favorite megaman games. But especially 1-4 is mostly my favorite.

It is getting a lot of slow but steady upgrades just like X's power-up progression in every game!

I've never felt so much power!

I say screw with Capcom.....they still in XDive garbage while we're waiting until death for X9

Crapcom

Nah, 32 bits is were it's at

@@sammyay-man2754 mega man x corrupted is the new mega man x9. Forget Capcom.

Or you guys could just praise a fan game, without bashing the company associated with said property. Also, that's not even taking into accounts stuff over the past few years that Capcom has done stuff like Monster Hunter World, Devil May Cry 5, Resident Evil 7, The Megaman Zero Collection, the Resident Evil 2 and 3 Remakes, and they also have a Mega Man game in development. Are they a perfect company? No, but we're no longer stuck in the days of them constantly making terrible decisions.

@@rogercruz1547 I highly agree. But, it's still hard to top the first Megaman X. I wouldn't be surprised if this game did it though

Really? You noticed it just now? Dud....from the very begining that was clear.

Its not just going to be like any fan game, it's going to be a fan game that will set a whole new standard for the Mega Man X series.

he mentioned on discord that is kinna of a combination of both iron man and saint seiya

It's like when he falls from the sky, and his armour assembles onto him, in the original Avengers. This one's more stylish though, no offense.

@Zero Bullet's that too but im on his discord and he mainly mentions on the ladder

@@jaackorsomething-hh6xz This whole stage reminded me of The Avengers, the villan was even a green dude with horns. If that was their intent then I think it was done really well.

Same here

I’d spend it on any console

I would spend the same amount if it would be released on the original SNES. That would be an experience.

I'd spend 100$ and my first born Child for this masterpiece!

I will definitely owe the creators of this masterpiece a full tank of gas the day this game is released.

I was thinking "The maverick hunters are more helpful then those green units in fire emblem games??" 😂

And the fact Dominic Ninmark makes the OST too.

¿Do you see it Capcom? Even a fan is doing a game who can be easily a X9, and you with your millions, you have the Megaman X franchise dead >=(

I also like how he came up with a reason to lose the Ultimate Armor.

>Mavericks that aren't just "virus kill kill kill" Hard disagree. Sure, the "motivations" of the canon games are boilerplate, but I'll take that over what looks to be some pretty cringe-inducing "nuance" and "commentary".

2D bad

:D

Like Iron Man

I agree! that's what hypes me at the beginning.. Back in the days, we only got X2 and X3 introstage that didn't have that 'usual teleporting' thing, BUT this ONE IS AMAZINGLY CREATIVE!

Bro best part man!!! They really need to make an animated series in anime style. It would be so epic!

*Will this game really be available? I am willing to pay to play the final version. If not, it does not make sense to be subscribed.*

@@MegamanX25A I think JKB and his crew needed the fans's subscribes so that KZfaq can pay them money inorder to make this game.. They needed money to buy expensive computers and such technologies and engineering to keep making the game better.

And its not axl! Im impressed!

THERE'S A THIRD CHARACTER!

3rd characters and its female(fanfic) and not axl i guess not bad since its rare to have female playable that only optional to 3 operators like alia

@@ichikazeonsilt3608 it makes sense axl aint here since this game is supposed to take place after X5

To be fair, the reason Zero would generally get more love in the old games is he was originally meant to be the main character. X is more of a placeholder main character that was only created because at first they thought Zero would be too different of a character for fans of the classic Megaman to enjoy. Little did they know.

Yeah only because Inafune got salty that Zero wouldn't be the main character so he had Zero steal X's spotlight. Fuck Inafune.

@@X_Gon_Give_It_To_Ya it's been 10 years and I'm still salty about Zero getting more spotlights than X. I mean X is the main character, why you focus on Zero more? And Inafune wasn't satisfied enough so he created the Zero series and made X dead. Keep in mind that X was meant to the antagonist. But thanks to Capcom, it was scrapped because it was too hurtful for his fans.

Okay, so when talking about Zero’s and X’s spotlight, I was fine with Zero - a side character - playing a big role in the series and even getting his own sequel series. Those two concepts are normal. The thing is, Inafune focused too little on X story wise to make up for it, so in the end I and many others feel that X as a character had missed potential. The sad thing is, Inafune himself wanted to fix this issue with the Mega Man Maverick Hunter X remakes, giving X a more fleshed out role. The first and currently only entry of that had X being the central focus, having him being the reploid with the most human emotion particularly in his ability to care and worry. The ending cutscene of Dr. Lights last words and the prequal movie emphasizing X’s large importance in connecting robots to humanity. X in that version was also meant to be the one to cause Sigma’s eye scars in the unlock able prequel movie, where as in the original canon it was revealed in a flashback in X4 that Zero gave Sigma his eye scars. It’s kind of upsetting that Inafune never got to make up for the mistakes he _wanted_ to fix. Here’s hoping that the possible Mega Man X9 somehow makes a good story around X, or maybe we’ll even get to see those Maverick Hunter X sequels make Inafune’s wish come true, although it’s unlikely to happen.

@@slysamuel5902 Capcom is currently making collaborations with other games to introduce more people into it. When there's enough people who are familiar with Megaman X, it's more likely to get a sequel. It's more of a business thing to advertise the game first then make a one!

Asi es, este men necesita apoyo.

NICE! 😊👍

Thank You!

がんばって ! ! ! Um abraço do Brasil!

We need this pinned.

Bloody agreed.

2021 just started...

Definitely a player type of response lol

To be fair, X had to experience the Sky Lagoon incident once. Pretty sure the last thing he wants is a repeat of that, so him getting this pissed is understandable.

that idea already exist in the original X4, X5, and X6 games.

That's because it actually is; there's a functional lighting system in this game. Things like charge auras, buster shots, saber slashes and dash rockets illuminate the area around them, if it happens to be dark at the moment.

game has ray tracing

Its pretty cool tbh. His shots are actually made out of superpowered plasma and plasma can emit light.

that's right, JKB and the spriting ai will go down in history, as well as the music ai

I'd say this is the biggest love letter to any franchise, ever. The level of detail is absolutely insane, I've never seen a fan project like it. I even think it bests sonic mania

Yeah its gonna be up there with mm8bdm and mega man maker

@@direktexe8436 MM8BDM and Mega Maker are insane, especially mega maker. I think this game might be better than the both of them though

So many great fan projects of older series coming out it's fucking fantastic to witness it all

Indeed even if it isn't terribly fleshed out it just gives that intro level a bit extra flair that no other MM has given us thus far.

Hunters fighting alongside X, dialogues, incarcerated mavericks awaiting trial, details that bring life to the game and tell us that we are some kind of police, the games didn't make much about it.

@@lordsakai3450 It shows that there are other capable allies to help us when needed, not just Zero, Axl and X.

Capcom: No, you want 3D, so we will give you 3D. Forget about gameplay.

@@wpyoga idc if it’s 3D or not, I just want it to be good.

Actually, I want X in a Botw type game with genshin impact style character switching, an over the top budget, and controls like z.o.e. it'd be a perfect fit for the franchise and bring them into the space they've wanted for so long lol a 2d platformer would be fine though.

@@StevenCasteelYT Not the first time the X series has done it. X5 had you lose the Fourth Armor in Zero's Intro (you find X beaten badly), whereas Zero loses his Z-Buster if do X's Intro.

It gets stolen by strike. Has already been in different, earlier videos. The only unknows are how and when. Though based on this I guess X blacks out and Strike teleports back in to take it from his body.
