Mega Man X: Corrupted

Mega Man X: Corrupted is an unofficial, fan-made game by John K. Bacchus (also known as JKB) coded in AS3 using Flex compiler on Flash Develop. The game is modeled after the MMX series' features and gameplay, in the graphic style of the SNES Mega Man X games, with a non-linear interconnected environment, and skill trees to enhance characters and weapons.

Story

Very little has been revealed about the story, though JKB has confirmed that the game will take place as an alternate time line after Mega Man X5, thus Axl will not make an appearance.

Features

Graphics made to mimic the style the Super Nintendo Mega Man X games, using all new tile-sets and enemies.
The game's soundtrack is composed by Dominic Ninmark and is made to give the same feel as the SNES games but with a remixed touch.
X and Zero are both playable characters, with X relying entirely on his X-Buster and Zero on his Z-Saber. You can switch between X and Zero once you begin the main game.
The game takes place on a huge world map rather than in stages.
- Certain areas will unavailable to the player with their starting equipment, much like a Metroidvania ^[1].
It features an elaborate skill system for upgrading character abilities and weapons.
Zero will have a special combo system, allowing him to easily string together attacks.
- Zero has some special skills known as Hidden Arts that are executed when certain skills are used together (i.e. Crystal Gaizer).
Much like a standard Mega Man X game, this one features upgrade capsules, hidden heart tanks, ride armors, mini-bosses and more collectible items.
This game builds on the ability in Mega Man X8 to mix armor parts with this game's Phoenix and Hydra armors for X, whose pieces can be equipped and used immediately as they are found. It also features the Ultimate Armor, a separate armor used in X's intro stage.
- Zero will have the ability to choose between his traditional "Black Armor", or the special "Viral Armor". He can not swap armors, picking one will make the other uncollectible.
After defeating the 4th maverick, the remaining 4 mavericks add an additional effect to the world to make the game harder. This has been referred to as 'Final Four' mode.^[1]
- Additionally, like the original Mega Man X title, other terrain on the world map will be altered as mavericks are defeated.
Multiple levels of difficulty. These are:
- C Class (Easy)
- B Class (Normal)
- A Class (Hard)
- S Class (Super Hard)
- Σ Class (Insane)

Fullscreen mode. ^[2]
Multiple Endings.

Characters

Playable characters

Zero-0 — **Zero as seen in Mega Man X : Corrupted**

X - X is a Maverick Hunter who fought alongside his partner Zero in order to maintain peace and stability in the world and protect humans and Reploids alike from Mavericks. Because of his aversion to violence, X is initially ranked a B-Class Hunter, but he was eventually promoted to S-Class. After the events of the Eurasia Incident and the death of his best friend X is still fighting the Maverick Threat in order to maintain order in this world. In Mega Man X : Corrupted he is an all-round Hunter who can attack enemies at long range. He is equipped with his X-Buster, his main weapon of choice.

Zero - A high ranking Maverick Hunter and a die hard warrior who doesn't hesitate to take action. However, behind his cold and emotionless attitude lies a wounded soul. Outwardly, Zero appears cold and emotionless to others, even towards partners like X. However, it is shown that he has the capacity to care for others. Zero keeps his cool under most circumstances. No matter what his enemies do to him, he is always able to come up with a retort. After the Eurasia Incident and the defeat of Sigma, Zero's broken remains are nowhere to be found and his fate remains unknown. In Mega Man X : Corrupted he is a powerful Hunter who can slash enemies at close range. He uses his Z-Saber, his favorite weapon and the one he is most skilled with in order to to execute powerful close-range attacks.

Other Characters

Signas - The leader of the Maverick Hunters remains the one who commands every Maverick Hunter mission. He is known for his ability to handle things professionally, always remaining cool in tough situations and never letting emotion destroy his ability to find the best strategy.

Alia - She is a Reploid that works as an Operator, Navigator, and Computer Specialist of the Maverick Hunters. She briefs X and Zero about their missions and guides them through the areas, giving information about the objectives, recent developments, and spotted Mavericks.

Douglas - He is the engineer/mechanic for the Maverick Hunters. He is optimistic, but not naive. When situations confront him, he shows confidence in the best-case scenario, but when things go wrong he's not blind to them.

X's Weapons

One of the distinctive features for any MMX game is the special weapons copied from bosses. For X's weapon selection, MMX:Corrupted took inspiration from the classic series, which traditionally has had greater variety, structure, and balance when compared the X series, while trying to take advantage of the engine and style advancements of the X series. X's arsenal is split in 4 categories to shape the 8 weapons into: spammy (P. Bouncer, H. Missiles), tactical (EMP Spark, C. Bomb), short-range (F. Breaker, C. Razor), and unique (W. Vortex, N. Spike). These categories also helped in deciding the skill upgrades for each weapon to ensure they retain their original functionality and not completely obsolete other weapons. X can also gain two other weapons as arm upgrades from capsules which have infinite ammo like the X-buster, but once again are separated by a matter of functionality so they don't obsolete the X-buster.

Weapon	Maverick	Weapon Description	Weapon Upgrades
Homing Missiles	Warfare Milodon	Special Weapon obtained after defeating Warfare Milodon. A pair of homing missiles that seek out the nearest enemy. If there or no enemies nearby, the weapon will simply fly in a straight line.	To be added.
EMP Spark	Sparking Scorpio	A ball of electricity that runs across walls and ceilings and can be detonated to send lightning bolts. Acquired after defeating Sparking Scorpio.	To be added.
Crystal Bomb	Crystal Rafflar	Defeating Crystal Rafflar grants X the ability to create a Crystal Bomb. If it hits a wall or an enemy it will create a row of crystals that erupt from the ground, damaging enemies that step on them, or reflect certain enemy projectiles.	To be added.
Plasma Bouncer	Plasma Puffer	Special Weapon obtained by defeating Plasma Puffer. X shoots 3 plasma bolts that travel up-forwards, forwards, and down-forwards respectively. The shots also reflect off walls.	To be added.
Force Breaker	Force Starfish	A powerful Armor-Piercing Blast that does very high amounts of damage. The blast also pushes X back a little bit after firing it. Obtained after defeating Force Starfish.	To be added.
Warp Vortex	Warp Vulpex	Special Weapon acquired after defeating Warp Vulpex. X shoots an vortex that travels in a straight line until it hits an enemy, sucking in projectiles in its path. If it hits an enemy, it will damage it and the vortex will remain stationary.	To be added.
Cyclone Razor	Hurricane Hoatzin	A wind-type razor attack that spins around X two times damaging enemies near him before ascending up. Gained after defeating Hurricane Hoatzin.	To be added.
Neuro Spike	Neurohack Mosquito	Special Weapon gained after defeating Neurohack Mosquito. Launches a projectile that travels in a straight line, hacking the first enemy it hits. The hacked enemy will not damage X, but will instead fight alongside him for a short period of time.	To be added.

Zero's Techniques

In order to make his gameplay even more distinct from X, Zero does not have a buster, instead relying on a balanced array of saber skills to cover different areas of the screen. And because he has so many similar types of moves, it was determining the roles of these moves that took the most time; just like in a competitive game, in order to keep everything useful certain things were buffed, nerfed, or changed in their function. For far-reaching moves, Zero has Blade Bouncer which is fast, or his saber thrust or Crystal Slash which are more powerful. For anti-air moves, he has his saber uppercut or his Lightning Rod which stuns and works better around surfaces. In order to prevent overlapping moves, some were given unique roles, such as Warp Strike which is a counter-type move, or Heat Haze which gives a temporary power boost. All of the boss moves have been adjusted to have situational strengths and weaknesses. And of course you will will still have preferences, which is why the skill trees are available to improve the moves you don't use or specialize in the moves you use the most.

Technique	Maverick	Technique Description	Technique Upgrades
Bakuenkyaku (爆炎脚 ; Explosive Flame Leg)	Warfare Milodon	Zero performs a descending diagonal kick that does explosive-type damage upon contact and resets air movement. It costs 10 energy and it's performed by using the Special Key while mid-air.	To be added.
Dentenseki (電天刺 ; Electric Sky Sting)	Sparking Scorpio	Electric-based projectile attack. Zero will hold the Z-Saber upwards releasing electricity bolts that will go towards the sky and upon reaching the ceiling will split in two directions and will travel left and right along the ceiling. The longer this attack is maintained, the more Saber Energy it drains.	To be added.
Suishōzan (水晶斬 ; Crystal Slash)	Crystal Rafflar	An addition to Zero's triple slash combo. It gives Zero an fourth slash that will create a row of crystals on the ground that do damage and can block certain enemy attacks. It also makes Zero's Saber pink during the fourth slash.	To be added.
Chōjin (跳刃 ; Bounce Blade)	Plasma Puffer	Special technique that is executed while dashing. While dashing, Zero will perform a quick saber slash that will send a wave slash that will go the direction he is facing until it hits an enemy or a wall. If it hits a wall the wave slash will bounce and go flying in another direction.	To be added.
Ryokuhaken (力破拳 ; Power Breaking Fist)	Force Starfish	A powerful ground punch that can break enemy armor and other hard materials. It can be performed on ground and while mid-air.	To be added.
Jikūgeki (時空撃 ; Time-Space Strike)	Warp Vulpex	A very strategic move that allows Zero to evade an attack fading from sight and instantly teleporting behind the attacker doing minor damage. Can only be used if Zero is about to be struck by an attack, making the ability a counter-attack.	To be added.
Shippūzan (疾風斬 ; Hurricane Scythe)	Hurricane Hoatzin	A coverage move where Zero performs a rolling slash attack with his Z-Saber, adding air momentum. It can be only performed once in the air. It costs 5 energy, does razor type damage, and the input is Up + A.	To be added.
Geneijin (幻影陣 ; Illusion Shadow Army)	Neurohack Mosquito	Giga Move that will create afterimages of Zero that mimic his movement, each one of them attacking where he does.	To be added.

Level Up and Skill System

Unlike other MM and MMX titles (excluding Command Mission), Corrupted includes an RPG element : Gaining experience points (XP) from killing enemies in order to level up X and Zero. Every time X and Zero level up they gain skill points (SP) which are used to upgrade their abilities. One example is Zero's Tenkuuha (Shot Eraser) which turns the Z-Saber's color violet, making it destroy weaker enemy projectiles upon contact. Both X and Zero have 9 basic abilities that can be upgraded further (subject to be changed). They each share the same XP Bar and Character Level. The SP gained is equal, but the SP are not shared between them.

Game Menus

To make the game stand out from the classic X games and feel original, all menus in MMX:C use a new custom style. The Pause Menu is broken down into: Main, Skills, Navigation, Collectibles, and Options.

Save capsules, armor swap menus, and ride armor menus use this same style as well.

The Final Four Effect

Unlike standard MM and MMX titles with boss selection, the game uses a non-linear structure similar to the ones in MMZ1 or ZX games.

After completing the intro stage, you start in the hunter base and are tasked with stopping the eight Mavericks. It is up to you which direction you want to go in and which mavericks to seek out, but some will be more easily accessible than others. Weapons gained from defeated mavericks and changes in the world caused by their defeat will allow more paths to open up as you progress through the game. One example is defeating Force Starfish, who gives you a weapon that can break hard blocks and crystals. The world is non-linear and many paths are dependent on the defeat of certain bosses.

The other driving factor behind hunting down the mavericks are their 'Final Four' effects. Each maverick has a mission they're on for the first half of the game, and whoever is left after the defeat of the 4th maverick succeeds in carrying out their mission. An example is Warfare Milodon, who has taken over the weapons factory for the purpose of creating new weapons for his force, and if he's not one of the first four bosses you defeat, he completes his research and all military robots receive weapon upgrades, and Milodon gains stronger weapons as well. This is the case for all of the last four Mavericks remaining, and all have some effect that makes the world harder and their boss fight harder. When in Sigma Class (Σ Class) all effects are active from the start of the game.

The Final Four Effects are :

Warfare Milodon - Upgrades all military robots, giving them new weapons. This is signified by a black paint job on these enemies.
Sparking Scorpio - All indoor areas have reduced or flickering lighting. The player will have to utilize light from their weapons or other creative methods.
Crystal Rafflar - Red crystal vines appear throughout the world, restricting the player's movement, blocking some paths, and reflecting X's buster shots.
Plasma Puffer - Corrupts some of the enemies, making them drop poisonous health, weapon, or 1-UP items after they explode. If the player picks up one of the poisonous capsules, their health/weapon energy/lives will be reduced. The poisonous capsules can also be destroyed by attacking them them. These enemies flash green when they are damaged.
Force Starfish - Upgrades all mini-bosses (and the Sentinel enemy), making them stronger, upgrading their attacks or even giving them new ones. This is signified by a yellow/golden color.
Warp Vulpex - Creates vortices (wormholes) throughout the world that will spawn random elite enemies. These vortices cannot be destroyed, and will continually summon enemies as long as the player is near them.
Hurricane Hoatzin - Causes a storm in all outdoor areas with wind, rain, and reduced lighting. A new enemy, the Storm Balloon, also appears to slow your progress.
Neurohack Mosquito - Spreads infectious mosquitoes everywhere on the map that will infect a random enemy on sight, increasing their reaction time, health, and damage. They are immune to status effects while infected.

X's Armors

The Phoenix Armor and Hydra Armor are MMX:C's new armors for X. Each piece of these armors can be worn as they are found, and are not restricted to each set, allowing for mixing the armors. Other armors can be obtained through various means, which are listed below.

Phoenix Armor - Fire-attribute armor, designed for maximum offensive power in any situation. These parts are modular.

Phoenix Armor specs:

Head: Scavenger - Enemies have a chance to drop a special combination item that gives both health and weapon energy.
Arms: Phoenix Buster - Gives alternative buster that shoots out projectiles that split into smaller homing projectiles upon impact. This buster is most effective with charged shots.
Body: Focus Charge - When below half health, X will fire Level 1 charged shots automatically. This also grants the optional Resurrection ability, which uses the Sub-tank automatically upon death.
Legs: Flame Dash - Increased dash speed and creates a flame trail when dashing on ground.
Core: Scorched Core - Gives X the Scorched Core Giga Attack, which overloads the Phoenix Buster's circuits and engulfs X in flames. X becomes invincible for a short period and damages enemies on contact, but cannot use the buster. Available only while wearing the Full Phoenix Armor Set.

Hydra Armor - Water-attribute armor, which offers new approaches to many situations. These parts are modular.

Hydra Armor specs:

Head: Hydra Pull - Increased the recovery rate of items, and draws them in from a distance.
Arms: Hydra Buster - Gives alternative buster that fires a fast 2-projectile spread shot that can go through walls. This buster is most effective when fired rapidly.
Body: Bubble Shield - Causes enemies to be damaged and pushed away on impact, and reduces enemy touch damage by 1.
Legs: Hydro Jump - Allows X to launch himself in the air with Up+Jump, giving a massive height boost. This part also increases X's underwater mobility.
Core: Hydra Storm - X releases Twin Hydras from his hands that home in on and damages enemies until the energy wears out. Available only while wearing the Full Hydra Armor Set.

Ultimate Armor - X kept this armor after the events of X5 and uses it during his intro stage, but loses it later on. This Armor's Parts cannot be combined with parts from other Armors and can only be worn as a full set.

Ultimate Armor specs:

Head: Halves the cost of WE used for Special Weapon.
Arms: Grants the Powerful Plasma Shot as the 3rd charge. This shot is much larger than the standard blast, and will leave damaging orbs in its wake whenever it comes into contact with an enemy.
Body: Reduces knockback time when hit and reduces all damage by 1.
Legs: Grants the ability to hover mid-air. Mid-air hovering time is decreased if X moves.
Giga Attack: Nova Strike - This version of the Nova Strike behaves like it's X8 counterpart, in which it does use an energy meter, but the energy recharges extremely quickly.

Corrupted Ultimate Armor - Upgraded variant of X's regular Ultimate Armor, received after certain events related to the boss Strike. Functions almost identically to the regular Ultimate Armor, with a few upgrades. Once acquired, this armor cannot be unequipped.

Corrupted Ultimate Armor specs:

Head: Same as the Ultimate Armor.
Arms: Grants a modified pink version of the plasma shot as the 3rd charge. This plasma shot leaves pink orbs that damage enemies over time, regardless of whether or not the shot has hit an enemy. It also possesses Shot Eraser.
Body: Same as the Ultimate Armor.
Legs: Functions the same way as the Ultimate Armor's legs part, but features vertical and diagonal hovering.
Giga Attack: Nova Strike Kai - X gains a more energy efficient Nova Strike. This new attack uses only half the amount of energy the regular Nova Strike uses, allowing X to use it twice in a row before recharging. You can change directions in-between attacks.

Light Armor - X's Armor from the first Mega Man X Game, which has been tweaked for use in MMX:C. After obtaining it, the player keeps it in a New Game+. These parts are modular.

Light Armor specs:

Head: Block Crusher - X can break various rocks and other materials with the helmet.

Body: Light Chest - Reduces all damage received by 1.
Legs: Ground Dash Extender - Extends the length of X's ground dash.
Giga Attack: Hadouken - Grants Ryu's signature move, as found in MMX1's secret capsule. This can be fired at any time with Down, Forward, Shoot, and deals the same damage as a fully charged shot. There are rumors that he can also execute some kind of Super Hadouken under the right conditions... Available only while wearing the Full Light Armor Set.

Giga Armor - X's Armor from the second Mega Man X Game, which has been tweaked for use in MMX:C. After obtaining it, the player keeps it in a New Game+. These parts are modular.

Giga Armor specs:

Head: Item Tracer - Sends out a tracking signal that spawns either a large health or large weapon energy item from a random location on the screen.
Arms: Double Charge Buster - Grants X access to the Double Charged Shot. At the fourth charge level, X can fire two consecutive charged buster shots. After shooting the first charged shot, the second one can be stored in the Buster's Stock and can be shot out anytime.
Body: Giga Crush - Enables the Giga Crush technique; as X takes damage, a gauge fills. When this gauge is completely full, X can use the attack, which heavily damages all enemies on screen.
Legs: Air Dash Extender - Extends the length of X's air dash.
Giga Attack: Shoryuken. Grants Ken's signature move, as found in MMX2's secret capsule. This can be used at any time with Forward, Down, Forward, Shoot, and deals heavy melee damage and is invincible. Available only while wearing the Full Giga Armor Set.

Max Armor – X's Armor from the third Mega Man X Game, which has been tweaked for use in MMX:C. After obtaining it, the player keeps it in a New Game+. These parts are modular.

Max Armor specs:

Head: Auto-Repair - Damage taken is left as red health on the healthbar, and can slowly be regenerated over time if no additional damage is taken.
Arms: Cross Charge Buster - Grants X access to the Cross Charged Shot. At the fourth charge level, X can fire out a Cross Charge Shot by shooting both arm cannons in rapid succession. Unlike it's X3 counterpart, this one does not cover the entire screen, but instead, the weaker secondary shots follow behind the main one, decreasing the width of the attack, but increasing it's burst potential.
Body: Max Shield - When X is struck by an enemy's attack, a blue Defense Shield is generated for a limited duration. If X is hit again while the Max Shield is active, the damage received from the attack is reduced to 1.
Legs: V-Dash Extender - Extends the length of X's vertical dash.
Giga Attack: Hyper Drive - Gives a giga mode which temporarily grants X the Golden Armor, as found in MMX3's secret capsule. All armor part abilities are enhanced, and charged shots are fired automatically as long as giga energy is remaining. Auto-Repair will not be cancelled after taking damage, Max Shield is will nullify all damage, and V-Dash Extender is replaced with two air or vertical dashes.
- Special: X-Saber - After firing the two shots, X can swing an energy saber, creating a shockwave that can hit enemies at a distance. Both the standalone saber and the shockwave do a very severe amount of damage. Both abilities are available only while wearing the Full Max Armor Set.

X's Armor Combos

Armor Combos Final2-0 — List of all the Armor Combo Abilities *<<<This is still a WIP>>>*

One thing that sets the X series apart from other Mega Man titles is Dr. Light's famous capsules that augment X's armor. Over the course of the series, this gradually became more and more complex, with new capsule mechanics popping up almost every game. Among all these, MMX:Corrupted tries to take as many positive aspects from the different iterations as possible.

Early on, The MMX:Corrupted Team decided on using X8's part mixing system because of its customization and replayability aspect. Originally, they had it so mixing parts were just there to let you specialize, while wearing a full set of one armor gave you a special bonus, like in X8. But then the Team wondered : "Well, what if every combination had a bonus?" This ultimately led to X's armor combos, where once every part has been collected, any set of 4 parts gives some unique upgrade. This is one of the ways the armors continue to get better as the game progresses in the same RPG-nature as the rest of the game, and also makes X crazy fun to play as.

The armors for MMXC are the Phoenix Armor and Hydra Armor, whose abilities have attributes of fire and water, respectively, as well the mythological creatures themselves in some cases. In keeping with the trends of the official games, the leg parts improve mobility, the body parts improve defense, the arm parts improve the buster, and the head parts do something weird, in this case they improve items. Though, unlike the official games, armor parts have little impact on finding secrets; with the way the World Map is designed, that is better left to weapons and techniques. The capsules for these parts mimic the ones in the PS1 games, showing a preview of the part on top, and are color-coded for each armor.

And that about wraps up X's armor combo subsystem; he has a very diverse set of weapons that he can create specialized load-outs with, and features a robust collection of armor pieces whose abilities can be expanded on late in the game.

Zero's Armors

Armors are not nearly as important to Zero's gameplay as they are with X, but there are a few which can acquired as a part of the game's events.

Black Zero - Armor which grants abilities based on Zero's appearance in X5.

Black Armor specs:

Mikazukizan (C-Sword): Zero will perform a circular aerial slash with his Z-Saber, creating a large, yellow energy crescent in the direction he is facing. It costs energy, so if he is low Zero will use Kūenzan instead.
Hisuishou (F-Splasher): Zero's air dash will automatically generate an ice-element barrier that damages enemies upon contact. Zero is also immune to all touch damage (even Bosses) and to projectiles that can be destroyed.
Denjin (E-Blade): Zero will jump up diagonally with an electrified Z-Saber blade that leaves streams of electricity behind. This technique replaces any other uppercuts and is capable of stunning some enemies.
Danchien (Q-Blazer): By pressing Down+Slash while airborne, Zero will perform a fiery downward thrust. When the flaming blade hits the ground, it produces an explosion that lingers for a short duration, damaging the enemies that touch it.
Shippū (W-Shredder): When the player presses the Special Button while Zero's dashing on the ground, he will send out a solid, purple wind-elemental hologram in front of him. When it makes contact with an enemy, it will pull out an energy saber of its own and perform Shippuuga before disappearing.
Messenkou (C-Flasher): Giga attack where Zero punches the ground, sending out violet energy projectiles in a large spread. It can be recharged by slashing enemies.
Z-Saber Extend: Zero's Z-Saber can reach out a little further than normal with a yellow beam extension.
Shock Buffer: When damaged, Zero will no longer suffer knockback and won't be stunned for as long as he normally is.
Unlimited Dash Length: Zero can dash continuously, and can turn around while dashing.

Viral Zero - Armor that can be acquired through certain events. Its abilities are varied.

Viral Armor specs:

Jumper: Jump height slightly increased.
V-Saber Combo: Viral Zero has a special 3 slash combo that has a slightly smaller hit box but more hit frames.(The combo does 4 damage against bosses unlike Standard/Black Zero which does 3)
Viral Last Stand: Zero can only die when he is at 1 HP (does not work on instant death).
Viral Infection: Saber attacks will infects enemies with a virus dealing damage over time. Any enemy that is killed while under the effect of Viral Infection will slowly refill the Viral Overdrive Gauge.
Viral Phase: After standing still for a short time, Zero becomes invulnerable to all attacks. This effect lasts several seconds at a time.
Viral Overdrive: Energy burst that overfills the saber energy. The energy created by the Overdrive can be used to perform techniques or to create crescent wave slashes from his saber that travel forward, passing through all enemies and damaging them. Once Viral Overdrive is activated, every attack that zero uses will consume energy from the Overdrive Bar. The Wave Slashes created consume 4 energy bars from the Overdrive Bar and do 6 damage (2 against bosses). The slashes can also be charged. Also Zero's Crystal and saber will turn red once the Overdrive is active.

Notes:

The part mixing system does not work for Zero's armors. Also, after acquired, Zero's armors are permanent, they cannot be removed.

Zero's Combo System

The last thing that helped shape Zero's moveset and core skill tree was actually a bug; The MMX:Corrupted Team found that they could cancel moves into each other, like combos in a fighting game. Soon this became an actual feature, with a massive list of combo links being added, using simple inputs like a single direction or attack button to do them. This, along with other move-canceling tricks, has helped solidify Zero as the more technical of the two characters. However, some of these skill combos are more flashy than the others. Those are called Hidden Arts. Hidden Arts consist of the combination of (mostly) two skills executed with timed button presses during an attack. One example is the Hidden Art : Crystal Gaizer; the combination of Suishōzan (Crystal Slash) and Ryokuhaken (Force Breaker). By timing the attacks properly, you can execute the aforementioned Hidden Art, in which Zero punches the ground, creating a row of crystals that surround him. After performing a Hidden Art for the first time, it's input and description will be added to the Hidden Art Combo List on the Pause Menu.

You can also ask fellow members for help, as long as you keep discussions in the right chats. The F.A.Q. Tab is still a WIP and can be expanded, just like the rest of this Wiki.
