GENERAL ZX SERIES ENQUIRIES

[ChaosVortex]

I've tried that before. I'm just not going to collect any BM upgrades, and just keep using the Giga Crush for that one.

Killing them both at the same time is too tedious.

[Mikero]

BM upgrades

<immature joke here>

[ASR]

Thinking the same thing, except throughout the whole game.

[Xero]

It actually took me a few tries. 

[ChaosVortex]

I haven't collected any BM upgrades intentionally so I can perform a Giga Crush must faster for medal challenges. I've got the Gold Medal off of Vultron and the Bronze from Ugoyle & Argoyle. I'm going to use the Giga Crush strategy on the other medals of U&A, but that's it. After that I'm going to collect the upgrades.

Is there anything I'm forgetting that requires me to tediously use Giga Crushes? I don't want to regret it later.

[Johncarllos]

Buckfire I think.
Killed only with A's giga crush.

[NovaMan XP]

Vulturon I think is the only one that you need to ONLY use Giga Crushes on.

For Argoyle and Ugoyle you just need to finish them with it.

[ChaosVortex]

Yeah, but I tried other methods, and it's a piss off when you try to finish them off and WHOOPS, you seem to have hit the other one a little bit more than you intended, and the Giga Crush doesn't finish them both off at the same time.

Constantly using the Giga Crush avoids that though. The only problem I have to do now is the finish them off at the same time with a Buckfire double tomahawk and a Hedgeshock spark.

And I know what JC is talking about. That's good thinking.

EDIT: I just need the double tomahawk one now.

[ASR]

The tomahawk one is a LOT easier than you'd think. Argoyle and Ugoyle usually move symmetrically, so stand in the middle and time it correctly when they're passing by. If their damage meters are close, than you should be fine.

I reccomend using Giga Crush for a while until they're both low, though not everyone is as patient as me.

For the record, you CAN get more than one medal at a time, so if you have the chance, go for two at a time. I forgot which ones you can actually do that with, though.

[ChaosVortex]

Yeah, I've done that before. Totally by accident too.

[Johncarllos]

I think Vultron is surviving more than 3 minutes + giga crush for bronze and gold combo.

[ASR]

Yeah, that one usually happens by accident anyway.

[ChaosVortex]

I'm not sure, but I think it was with QueenBee. I was aiming for one medal, and when I won I got two.

"Oh wow, goody!"

These mission requests are too vague. I'm two medals away from Model a. Can someone give me more information on what I have to do?

Buckfire: "Beat Buckfire by touching Siarnaq's BM Screen and hitting him with the Kunai to get a Gold Medal."

Hedgeshock: "Finish off Hedgeshock by hitting her little rat followers to get a Silver Medal."

[Kamon]

Buckfire Gold Medal: Use only the touchscreen to launch Kunai at Buckfire.

Hedgeshock Silver Medal: Use Vultron's charge attack to launch one of the rats into Hedgeshock for the final hit.

[ChaosVortex]

Ah, the guitar swing? How was I supposed to know that? It's actually useful for once.

[Kamon]

I think there's another attack you can use with a different A-Trans that'll have the same effect, possibly Argoyle/Ugoyle's kick or Model F's Knuckle Buster if you're out of BM Energy.

[ChaosVortex]

Well, I just did them both. I didn't know you could do that with Sharnaq's data. It sucks, but it's new to me.

Anyway, got them all. Now I need to make a new game.

[MOX]

In MMZX how do you get the subtank in area A-2? I heard there's some tunnel or something you go in with Model H though I'm not sure where it is. Here's a map to make it easier for you to point out.

[jad]

Use model H, go to the lower screen area to the big tree on the left. Climb to the very top. You should run into heath, after getting to the top, Dash jump to the left, then dash in the air, you'll run into a wall, slide down the wall until you come across a platform. Fall from the wall and dash left onto the platform. Jump straight up the wall and nab the tank.

[MOX]

OH, I didnt know that area was hollow >_>;. Thanks.

[jad]

No prob man. Now I've got a question, how do you nab the tank in area E? without resulting in getting hit by a foe to get over the spikes?  lol yeah I got reckless and nabed it like that.  Well this question should be, what is the correct way of getting it.

[Xero]

Just dash jump for it.  Very easy.

[NovaMan XP]

Yeah... easiest Sub Tank in the game... I saw it and just dash jumped for it. The fourth one was a bitch to get though,  having to do the SAME mission so many times...

[ChaosVortex]

Yeah... easiest Sub Tank in the game...

LIES.

You forget the one in the Powerplant.

If you missed that, then you're blind.

[NovaMan XP]

I thought Area E WAS the powerplant?!

[ChaosVortex]

... I thought you were talking about area A. My bad.

EDIT: But to answer the question directly, the sub tank will be above your head when heading down a staircase. Just Dash jump to it. There'll be a green totem thingamabobber enemy that shoots out sparks. Destroy it, and the sub tank is right behind it.

No effort at all.

[MOX]

In MMZX, besides getting a lvl 4 victory is there any way to increase the max weapon energy or does it stay the same throughout the game?

[preventerWIND]

You can pay around 10000 EC to increase it, but each time you increase it, it gets more expensive.

[NovaMan XP]

I think it was only 10,000 EC in Expert or whatever. It was stupid. Considering the game was harder you should pay LESS.

[ASR]

Oh, GOD no. In Expert all the prices SKYROCKETED.

[Xero]

I don't recall ever using that....

Probably cause I got all level 4 every time.

[MOX]

I got a question about the A-trans in MMZXA. How do you give their attacks element to them? Do they just automaticly have an element?

[preventerWIND]

YEP. But I think sometimes you need to charge their attacks for elemental damage, like the guardian models.

[Xero]

Some you do and some you don't.

[preventerWIND]

Yes.

[Mikero]

Well it's not a direct "continual", it's just after.

[ASR]

Chronologically.

I almost said "timeline-wise." I'm so tired.

[Mikero]

I hear that! All nighter'd last night.

[ASR]

Yesterday I was up from 6AM practicing drumline all day until the competition, not resting for a minute, and we got home at 12AM and I didn't get to sleep until around 3 because we all hung out for a while.
Then I had to wake up at 6AM for school.

[TheRedPriest]

I went to bed at 6 pm last night and got up at 8 this morning.  And I'm STILL slightly tired.  BEING OLD SUCKS.

[Vinchenz Rock]

I've been very tired even when going to bed around 10-11 recently. I dunno, some kind of sleep spell was set on me. And sometimes my alarm clock won't wake me up because I'm still in deep sleep.

It doesn't make work any easier, let me tells ya.

[ChaosVortex]

I went to bed at 6 pm last night and got up at 8 this morning.  And I'm STILL slightly tired.  BEING OLD SUCKS.

Two things:

1.) Actually, when you get older, your body is supposed to require less sleep.

2.) Caffine is magical.

[Mikero]

You can build up an ammunity to caffeine surprisingly quickly, actually.

I don't get a lot of sleep so if I do on the weekend I always oversleep and feel like #####, or undersleep and feel like #####.

[Rama Olendris]

I've never played the ZX series because I've been very reluctant to; however I am curious as to this- what the hell is Biometal exactly?

[preventerWIND]

Its a talking rock, with powers that could "rule the earth".

[Rama Olendris]

Like those things in Never Ending Story? 

[preventerWIND]

*shrugs* I barely even remember that movie.

[Rama Olendris]

Interesting. Now, seriously what is Biometal?

[ASR]

Wind nailed it pretty well.

It's suggested that a certain female supporting character from the Zero series devised a means for the spirits of several important heroes of the past to let their spirits and powers reside in talking rocks called Biometals. They allow certain people to MEGAMERGE!!!!!!! and take on the qualities of the Biometal.

[Rama Olendris]

.... That's.... Retarded. Why would she do that? Did she even ask for their permission before doing such a thing?  :'(

I hate scientists... Except Light and Wily, they're cool- when they're not being anally assaulted by Capcom.
