Zero

"I never cared about justice, and I don't recall ever calling myself a hero... I have always only fought for the people I believe in. I won't hesitate... If an enemy appears in front of me, I will destroy it!"

Zero was the third clone character in Mushroom Kingdom Fusion 2. He is a clone of the hidden character Vile. With the removal of Vile and the clone system, Zero was later dropped from the game. He is a premium character in the game and costs 500 blue coins to unlock him.

History
The final creation of Dr. Wily, Zero was made for the purpose of destroying Dr. Light's final creation, Mega Man X, and to spread what would be known as the Maverick Virus across all robots. Shortly after his awakening and rampage, he was defeated by the Maverick Hunter Sigma, unknowingly transferring his virus into him. After being restored, Zero and X ended up becoming best friends and went on to fight against Sigma and other Maverick robots, eventually culminating in a battle against Dr. Weil and his strongest creation, Omega.

Eventually learning that he was the carrier of the virus, Zero sealed himself away to have it purged from his system. He awoke 100 years later in a new body and returning to fighting against those who would harm the innocent. Eventually, Zero found and defeated Dr. Weil aboard his satellite, Ragnarok, but he died in the re-entry.

Gameplay
Zero looks and uses gameplay very close to his MMX3 incarnation, though his sword is moved to the fire button, while his buster functions with the run button. He retains Vile's basic mobility and dash options, as well as stomping/swimming.

Zero is able to charge up both his buster and sword, though only one at a time. His buster functions just as it did in MMX3, while his sword can be charged into a larger, more powerful slash.

Like in MMX3, Zero can charge up to 2 stored charged attacks. He can even switch between powered up shots and sword swings, allowing for crude combination attacks between ranged and melee.
