Megaman X's saber wielding rival.

Zero is a total badass, first appearing in Megaman X and I just remember seeing him for the first time and just thinking to myself "what am I doing playing as Megaman when there's a much cooler version running around over there!" but alas, he wasn't playable until some later games down the line.

I absolutely love his design (and the Megaman Zero version is pretty awesome too), his red spiky looks along with his more close combat mechanics make for great contrast compared to X and he's also really cool and mysterious.

I honestly don't think he's joining the smash roster however, after sephiroth everything's possible hahah, I wouldn't mind having this anime swordsman in the mix tbh hahah, but we'll see!
