Mega Man X6, known in Japan as Rockman X6 (ロックマンX6, Rokkuman X6) is the sixth entry in the main X series, developed and published by Capcom for the PlayStation in 2001-2002, becoming the final Mega Man game for the console. It later received a Windows port in a few regions.
Three weeks after the fall of the Eurasia colony, a mysterious phenomenon called the Nightmare begins to occur. Rumors spread that the cause of these Nightmares is the ghost of Zero, leading X to embark on an investigation. Secretly, the genius scientist Gate is manipulating the Nightmare from the shadows, having created it from a fragment containing Zero's DNA. He also used it to create the strongest Reploid ever, High Max, who now stands in X's way. Can X put a stop to Gate's ambitions...?[1]
Zero once headed up the Special 0 Unit. An SA-Class Hunter, he single-handedly saved the Earth from destruction. He has been missing since the Sigma incident. Few believe he'll ever be found.[2]
The Hunters' navigator, Alia analyzes situations and provides appropriate backup for Hunters on missions. She has an impressive aptitude for analyzing computer programs.[2]
An expert mechanic, Douglas devises and maintains all the Hunters' equipment, including weapons, vehicles, and facilities. He has thrown himself into the recovery operation with fierce dedication.[2]
Once considered a genius in Reploid development, Gate has lately been shunned in scientific circles because his research was misunderstood. His luck begins to change when he discovers something interesting...[2]
The evil mastermind who was defeated by Zero after his plans nearly destroyed the planet. Someone has helped him return from the dead, but he's definitely worse for wear.
Flies in in certain areas and stays near the character to block attacks if Commander Yammark's Nightmare is active. Attacking it a few times drives it away.
A copy of X or Zero (the opposite to the player's character) sometimes appears in certain areas and charges at the player if Shield Sheldon's Nightmare is active.
By default, X wields the X-Buster, a long-range buster, and the Z-Saber, a short-range saber. By defeating the eight Maverick bosses, he copies their Special Weapons with unique properties and elements. He can also upgrade his X-Buster and gain Giga Attacks by collecting and equipping Armor Parts.
X's default weapon. It fires up to three shots horizontally, and can be charged up for a Charge Shot of two levels. Equipping Armor Parts can alter the properties of the max Charge Shot.
Zero wields the Z-Saber, a close-range beam saber, and the Z-Buster, a long-range buster. By defeating the eight Maverick bosses, he gains Techniques to perform with his saber. Some of these Techniques are ability upgrades, while others are brand new attacks.
Zero's default weapon. On the ground, it can slash three times in quick succession for a combo. In the air, on walls, and on ladders, it can only slash once at a time.
