Lol I immediately knew what this was. Me and my friend always laugh about the one sentence of backstory / lore that each boss has. It's extremely hilarious for some reason, also the way the bosses names are yelled. Cyber Peacock being the favorite.

I was expecting something Godzilla related. Though I guess he doesn't have to escape from anything. Cities escape from him.

I remember hearing the Apollo Justice soundtrack and thinking that some tracks sounded like they came straight from X4, found out later one the composers is the same one from that game.


Also, obligatory in every X4 thread:

My favorite X game! It's a shame they started messing with the formula in X5, it was all downhill after this.

Is there a video that just cuts all the boss bio screens into one long take?

X4 did so much right that none of the other games did. The mission select hub actually showing X/Zero and their partner, the introduction text for each Maverick, and the intro flavor text were all so good. I remember being really disappointed with X5's presentation after how cool X4's stage select stuff was.




How badass is this!? It even says the name out loud.

Look at how lame these are by comparison.

Dark secret...I got made fun of a ton as a kid for having a high pitch voice so I love X's little girl voice and want it canon.

I'm now realizing that the Zero series completely did away with the traditional boss intros.

Him, Spider, and Owl are wearing goddamn berets. Reploid berets.

These 90s games with the bad voice acting always have that one person that's putting WAY more effort than is needed. Chief Irons from RE2, Wily in MM8, and Sigma in X4.

Tremble with terror, you are finished!

Are you ready for round two??
Prepare to become SPACE DUST!

Its not too late, stop the COOP now!

Not gonna lie, while I really find X4 and X5 a lot of fun it's super jarring to go from a well voiced, animated and big-budget 2D game to one that cuts out ALL VA, adds WAY too much text, and everything is boring digital stills with no anime cutscenes. How the heck did all that happen? Then X6 went back to the VA, but no cutscenes still. And X5 was to be the ultimate freaking finale!

X4 has the best music in the X series. Also my favorite game in the X series.


It's not over yet!

Yeah X5 is pretty cheap...the graphics also don't measure up to X4 either.

ngl, I love Sigma's dub voice in X4. It's exactly how I imagine him sounding.

Also, I don't think X and Zero have low health voice quips in Japanese.

"It's not over yet!!"

"Time to get serious!!"

I miss those.

X4 is literally the game that made me switch from Nintendo to Playstation during my childhood. The game is perfect.

Did they get the same announcer guy from Super Punch-Out!! to call out the Maverick names in X4?

When I hear the intro theme to a stage I sometimes imagine the announcer is going to yell out "Bob... CHARLIE!!"

They do. They just aren't screaming it out like wackos.

Still sucks that the NA version took out the Mavericks saying things before fighting them. I want to know if Dragoon will take on me or if Walrus will make a
