Literally the one character I always wanted in smash bros and other fighting games so if you ever want me to playtest or help out in some way just message me sometime! Cheers
Blue 10 Jan, 2023 @ 8:43am 
oh and maybe this might help his up smash feels/works like Roy's up-special.. to me at least I keep wanting to use it like that but idk lol. More focus on Zero's swordplay could be a very good idea/kit as long as he isn't just an echo of another character. Either way very nicely done so far, keep up the good work! <3

I love this but he feels so underwhelming/underpowered ):

also taunt could be a lot cooler
Asura 26 Feb, 2022 @ 10:48pm 
personally i think making his down special change the elemental chip he has active and said chip alters his abilities, like in zero 4 certain elements change the attacks attributes, would make this much more different then the other mods out there of zero

Plz make Copy-X or Leviathan

Since you didnt want to finish the dspecial, I went ahead and did it myself.

It is too weak,the smash attack can't make 175%up to fly away.
c1blazek 27 Apr, 2021 @ 5:33pm 
hey could u make Orochi from KOF 97?
xKIUx 13 Mar, 2021 @ 5:44am 
Just 2 implementations missing, why? T^T its just 2 to take perfection
ledbullet1 13 Feb, 2021 @ 8:34pm 
character idea (like an echo fighter based on the z3 ROM hack) original x: z form but id say the only difference from zero id do is a chargeable buster (if you want to do it i mean)
yotsuba 27 Jan, 2021 @ 1:46pm 
Give him shield boomerang for down b
Ashmega8256 9 Jan, 2021 @ 3:48am

RIP Zero :(

Quite sad to see that this character is currently not being worked on, they're very fun to use. Who knows, maybe one day they'll complete it.
Angel Romario 28 Aug, 2020 @ 9:12pm 
i feel like he abanded the charater, but this charater had some good moves. idk why he stop working it for a while.
trseur 16 Aug, 2020 @ 9:32pm 
I suggest to make all his sprites and potrait to looks more belong to roa (add black outline to the sprites, better roa potrait version, etc.). Make him looks more polished too. Still a good char somehow. Thanks.
Angel Romario 17 Jul, 2020 @ 11:17am 
idk if he still working with zero. not sure :Spurk:
zepleyafurn 10 Jul, 2020 @ 1:42am 
Is this dead? I hope not, it is really good!
Ooyama 28 Jun, 2020 @ 12:29am 
You should add Down B attacks like Shoenzan and also, Quake Blazer in mid-air
Angel Romario 28 May, 2020 @ 7:53pm 
are you working for his down b, its been a lot time and i guess the devoplent can take a long time.so i guess its gonna take long
Wander 1 May, 2020 @ 10:02pm 
Whats the victory theme
Also, I absolutely love the zero games so I love this character
Angel Romario 13 Apr, 2020 @ 8:57pm 
what was his down b supposed to be?
MuraYeEto 7 Apr, 2020 @ 5:12pm 
thanks so much!
Linz 4 Apr, 2020 @ 9:55am 
So...Rune Support when?
Zessoh  [author] 4 Apr, 2020 @ 6:03am 
Of course!
MuraYeEto 2 Apr, 2020 @ 6:39pm 
I love this mod! I started working on my omega zero mod back in November and lately, my progress has been booming, when I finish him is it ok to include your character in a video showcasing the character?
Eddiegames (I Dunno) 9 Mar, 2020 @ 3:25pm 
And increase Jab 3's knockback
Eddiegames (I Dunno) 9 Mar, 2020 @ 3:23pm 
Also, slow down Side-B a little bit during the middle of the attack so the hitboxes connect more reliably at close-mid range
Eddiegames (I Dunno) 9 Mar, 2020 @ 3:21pm 
Very nice character, a few ideas; increase the hitstun on Jabs and Dash Attack slightly, increase the base knockback on Back Air, widen Up-Special's hitbox a bit, and make it do more hitstun, increase Up Air's end lag, have him go straight into the rolling slash on N-Air, and make it possible to hold F-Air so it lasts longer, adding charge shot to Neutral Special would be nice too, overall very good job on this
Mama Brickolini 26 Feb, 2020 @ 6:01pm 
this is one of my favorites to play as so far, have you thought about maybe the mega axe as his down special?
Animax 23 Feb, 2020 @ 7:40pm 
Kinda wish he was a bit stronger in everything.
ImMadeOfNinjas 10 Feb, 2020 @ 1:43pm 
You're doing great. Thanks for everything so far.
sunnylandscape 10 Feb, 2020 @ 1:42pm 
Great changes! The only thing that bothers me is his dash attack, I think it needs more knockback. But thanks a lot for this fantastic character.
Zessoh  [author] 9 Feb, 2020 @ 3:21pm 
I appreciate you all being very patient with me working on Zero. I've fallen into a depressive slump over the holiday and am currently struggling to break myself out of it.

For Down Special I have had a few ideas. I want to make his Charged Boomerang attack his Down Special, but coding it is an absolute nightmare due to needing to make everything from scratch.

Crashing I hadn't experienced any for myself until I played as the Yellow color. Turns out it was related to fire attacks such as UpAir, UpStrong and BackAir. For now I've removed it altogether.

As for portraits those'll take a while. I'm no sprite artist, let alone a pixel artist. I also don't have the money to commission someone to make some pixel art for me so in the meantime the current sprites I'm using for his portraits will have to remain.

TL;DR

I'm still working on him and progress is going slowly. Please be patient with me and I will do my best to make a satisfying character for everyone.

IMO this character is really lacking:
- a proper character portrait
- down B, as said multiple times
- charge shot on neutral B

Some suggestions, including some personal preference:
- down B should be either Messenkou or Rekouha (maybe both if you charge enough, no healing necessary on Rekouha)
- down-smash initial upward hit makes no sense, should just do the rod spin
- down aerial should be Saber Smash (Rakusaiga) where he falls with his sword instead
- side B definitely should be a command grab and not heal
- since Zero cannot move while shooting (otherwise it would trigger side B, down B or up B) maybe it would be better to have the buster shots slightly upgraded like Model O's Buster (Megaman ZX)
- speaking of Model O's, it's down tilt would also be better than the one currently because of range
- some way to do the Renbu combo (Omega's 7-hit EX skill)
Sisyphus 28 Jan, 2020 @ 6:51pm 
i like the character but you need to nerf the speed and range of his moves and remove the healing from the chain, because that can be really op. i like this character and i just want to use him without feeling too op, so i can be on the same playing field as others
ImMadeOfNinjas 25 Jan, 2020 @ 11:37am 
This is everything I ever wanted in Smash or a Smash-like game.
Pom 24 Jan, 2020 @ 8:30pm 
What’s the victory music from? I know it’s some version of the Captive Legend leitmotif, but for the life of me I can not find this version.
Semyon 24 Jan, 2020 @ 6:53pm 
Playing this character crashes my game
dj4103 20 Jan, 2020 @ 2:45pm 
You have made me one of the happiest people alive right now. Thanks for this character!
Strawberry Forest 19 Jan, 2020 @ 8:29pm 
This is a cool character, the moves look super clean :D
can't wait for the finished version, good stuff!
Shoppe 2 Jan, 2020 @ 4:10pm 
This character is really good and really well made so far, i hope you finish him. keep up the great work man!
Bira 27 Dec, 2019 @ 10:00am

Bira 26 Dec, 2019 @ 5:31pm
