Mega Man X6 Cut Scene Ed.
February 27, 2004

I wrote this little editorialized transcript of one of the cut scenes in Mega Man X6 back when I was first playing through the game. Although most of the dialogue in the game struck me as stilted and just plain confusing, this cut scene took the cake. Warning: There are spoilers here for anyone who hasn’t yet played the game, or anyone who has played the game but (in the unlikely event) hasn’t yet stumbled over Zero.

Transcript of the dialogue after finding Zero:

ZERO:

My reputation has been damaged while away... (Ed: It was damaged before you left too, you know, unless that whole “Zero Virus” thing never happened...)

Being thought of as some stupid toy... (Ed: Uhh?)

X:

Zero? Zero, you’re alive? (Ed: No duh!)

ZERO:

Huh. So, X is alive, is he? (Ed: He’s standing right in front of you, you duffus. Why are you speaking about him in the third person?)

ZERO:

Seems Sigma didn’t defeat me after all. (Ed: SEEMS? You mean you’re not sure?)

X:

But I searched all over for your parts, your signal, but I found nothing, so...

ZERO:

That is most unfortunate. I hid myself while I tried to repair myself. (Ed: That was some amazing repair job! Where’d you find the lower body?)

I had to wait until I was healed.

Well, it’s been an emotional reunion... (Ed: At least for X...)

But now we must face the Nightmare.

X:

If the Reploids are eradicated, then the mankind...no the Earth itself will face a crisis. (Ed: Uh....really? It seems to me Reploids are causing all of the problems to begin with.)

ZERO:

Let’s go, X! Destroy the Nightmare!

X:

Yes. We will join hands... and never let anyone sever us again! (Ed: No wonder everyone thinks these guys are...um, never mind, I won’t go there.)

Let’s go, Zero!
