Rockman X5

Alternate second half:
----------------------
Submitted by: David K

If you let the colony collide with the Earth (let all the time run out), an 
intermission where Zero is infected with the Sigma virus and becomes a powerful
Maverick will appear. For the rest of the game you cannot choose Zero and the 
dialogue changes for a few of the intermissions. 
Also, Zero fights more aggressively and uses different attacks when you fight
him in the third Maverick level.

To get this faster, launch the shuttle before you have collected all the parts 
for it. This will also display an intermission where Zero goes Maverick and 
gives you the ending where X's memory of Zero is wiped clean. What you do 
with the Enigma does not matter. 


Zero's Sabre Slash on Bosses:
-----------------------------
Usually you can do up to 3 or 4 hit combo on any Boss. However, the Final 
Slash will paralyze the Boss for awhile, which prevents you from slashing 
it during this time. To avoid this, hit the Boss with a 2 or 3 hit combo 
and do not use the Final Slash. It would be better if you used Zero's 
Supreme Slash. 


Save a life:
------------
After Zero becomes a Maverick you get a new stage. Enter the stage and climb
the wall to your left. Collect the helmet (extra life) located there. When you
lose a life, you can get it again and you will have the same lives that you 
started with.


Raise your speed:
-----------------
Note: To do this trick you have to be at the third Maverick stage. Drop down and 
go to the part where you face the green robot. Stay there and a group of white 
dots will appear. Face each of them. Keep doing this and your speed pushing 
buttons will increase. The best character to use is Zero. 


Easy Zero stages:
-----------------
The following is an easy way to get through the first of the three Zero 
Stages. At the first stage where all the green lasers that can kill you 
instantly are, use Dark Hold. It stops the lasers and gives you time to 
get through everything. 


Ultimate armor:
---------------
In Maverick Area 3, immediately before the end, is a platform over a pit. 
Fall, stay to the right, and go through the fake wall. 


Magma Dragoon Hadouken Fireball: 
--------------------------------
At the end of the training mission, you will fight Magma Dragoon. While 
fighting him he will use the Hadouken ability, along with the voice from 
Mega Man X, when you get that ability.


Best weapon:
------------
Use the Gala attack with the Ultimate Armor to have the best weapon that defeats 
most Bosses, including Sigma (both rounds). Keep using that attack, which is 
unlimited. Be careful with Sigma, as he keeps moving around. 


Rank PA:
--------
As Zero, first fight Dynamo after defeating Izzy Glow and some other Boss. Fight 
Dynamo with Zero using Izzy's weapon until he dies. After that, you will move up 
to GA. The second time, fight Dynamo with four or more heart upgrades, and both 
E-Tanks and the W-tank full. If you fought in excellent time with about 19 or 
less damage, you should get the PA rank. The rules for keeping a PA rank are 
very difficult. If you die twice, or exceed six minutes of game play in the 
level you will lose it. As X, this can be very difficult at first. You must 
have all that Zero had and the Ultimate armor. X's rank must be at GA before 
the event. This time, you will use Nova Strike (Giga Attack L2). 


Dash Jump:
----------
Use the following trick to reach a high ledge or jump to the next wall. Hold Dash 
and perform a jump to automatically do a Dash Jump. This is very helpful, as it 
also works on walls. 


Virus advantages:
-----------------
When playing as X, if you get hit by the Sigma Viruses, you will lose health. 
However, when playing Zero, he will gain full health if this happens. 


Defeating Izzy Glow:
--------------------
Izzy Glow's weakness is the Tri-Thunder, but the C-Sword does more damage. It 
just does not paralyze him, so you can hit him again sooner. If you keep hitting 
him constantly, the battle will be over in less than 30 seconds. 


Megaman X4 appearance: 
----------------------
Start a training level with X or Zero. Get to the end of the level to find Magma 
Dragoon, a maverick from Megaman X4. Also, make it to Maverick Base level 3. 
Play this level as Zero to fight X, who will use moves from Megaman X4 such 
as Soul Body, Frost Tower, and Double Cyclone.

 Megaman has no memory of Zero.
