Why didn't he just show up to Copy X and told him he was doing everything wrong?

He did in 3. Copy just throws a shitfit because nobody takes him seriously anymore.

ZX 3 when

1. Capcom has proven repeatedly they cannot write. For the first part they cannot write ethical or character conflict. So it would be meaningless to have X and Zero have such a conflict if the thrust was to show X faltering, or why Zero is right to be doggedly independent in the face of the nation of X by X.

2. Following point 1: X is logical, thoughtful, and very likely the smartest of all robots that have existed thus far, and Zero simply is not. Putting X in an established and neigh unchallenged leadership position should be Zero's anathema. If he loses moral compulsion means that the entire scenario should be turned on its head. A morally unbound X with the resources of a nation, and several armies should:
-Mass produce and issue weapons based on his VWS schematics of weapons he knows Zero is weak to.
-Play to Zero's mental fragility, insecurities, and historically high chance of being fooled.
-Lure Zero into a trap from a false-flag operations to yadda yadda a something in a base.
-Order airship bombardments across huge curtain areas Zero is reported to be in, with engaging teleportation jammers to trap him. Then deploying large work force to pick over the rubble to confirm his death.Then blame Zero.

Zero fighting against X in the premise of the Zero series should be a nail-bitingly impossible series of narrow escapes and reversals. Not a literal goddamn retard that rests on his laurels in a literal throneroom. Muchless one that 'thinks' in as far as "save the planet; kill the poor" as i he's solving a resource problem.

3. Failing the above: what's there to gain? X5, the last game ended with a fight climaxed by a fight between X and Zero with their upgrades. Dragging that same thing out into a spin off is exactly the kind of crap Star Trek Voyager did after The Next Generation ended. Having multiple effect-before-cause timeproblems in season 1. Any conflict, including the one in the final games, was a better use of time than that rehash.

Copy X in Z3 is literally just Weil's puppet and no longer has any will of his own beyond what he's told.

>no longer has any will of his own
He does, he just has an override that has him agree with Weil. Otherwise him calling Weil a traitor and Weil mocking him for rigging a self-destruct to his Ultimate Armor would be really weird.

Maybe not out of the woods for the one definitely insane villain in the franchise: but weird.

Copy X would've just broken him to get a Final Smash.

You seem to believe that Copy X would just listen to him
Copy X's action in Neo Arcadia were all caused by Ciel's flawed programming
If she never made this replica it wouldn't have malfunctioned in the first place

>Ciel's flawed programming
Considering she's a genetically engineered super genius test tube baby and it's never mentioned that his programming is flawed, I think it's more likely the part where X had 100 years of ethics conditioning as well as experience fighting in actual wars made a difference in how he would have run the government in a post-apocalypse.

>Malfunctioned
According to the comedy of errors that are the Zero Series canonical tie-ins: Copy X was never meant to independently exist. What Ciel made was just a replacement body so the Elf-X could be downloaded into it. Which didn't happen because of his sudden ennui. Then unnamed political figures made judgement calls to literally install an unqualified puppet leader.

1. X is too thoughtful and caring of an individual
2. It would've retroactively character-assassinated X in any future X games
3. X isn't anywhere close to narcissistic enough to have a drone army based on his appearance.

It would've been comparable to Luke trying to murder Kylo, but without the attempted redemption.

>it's never mentioned that his programming is flawed
Doesn't need to
Do you not understand what the concept of Maverick/irregular is?
>What can cause someone to go maverick anyway?
Those are X's own words that were answered by Zero
If Copy X slaughtering ordinary reploids just to conserve energy isn't enough to convince you that there's something wrong with his programming then wew lad
He's unironically just like Sigma with his ideals except instead of building a reploid utopia, he wanted a human one
X was a one of a kind robot as was Zero and just like Zero something like that can't be replicated no matter how far technology has come

>X being the smartest robot ever?
That idiot walked straight to a magnet in X3 that tittle goes to craft
Also they could have written hit as a robot following his prime directive (must protect humanity) and just making connections on the second (must make humanity and reploid like each other) because if he is the only reploid then problem solved.
>whats there to gain
A comflict between a machine who even though it has intelligence and free will it’s just a slave to his programation against one who is truly free of any prime directive (ironically fulfilling his original master last will)

Probably because Copy-X was gonna be real X but they pussied out. In game explaination wpuld be Copy X was an arrogant fool who wanted to prove he was a superior copy. He would said fuck off to X if he showed up and said shit to him.

>something wrong with his programming
But the problem with drawing that line on "It was his programming that was bad" is that it's actually reductive from the point of Reploids. "Going Maverick" is an inherent problem with true independent thought. That's always at risk. Even when there are no viruses and a hundred years after the suffering circuit was successfully duplicated. I could decide to stand up and kill my neighbor because he annoys me. So could a true analog of an hominid brain with all my experiences.

Ciel's programming of Copy X may be 100% accurately recreating the initial baseline of X that Dr Light created. Which, instead of being properly educated with positive and corrective ethics over years: he was thrust into a position of ultimate power with no concept of what effort and accomplishment meant to reach there, and being fawned over by everyone for his greatness. An AI learning about the world around it in that circumstance would become as much of a dick as a human demagogue no one ever said "no" to. Nature V Nurture and all.

Mind you Copy X STILL is maintaining Neo Arcadia as a paradise for humans. His faults, albeit large, are shortsightedness on how well his solution is working and the fact it's myopic about the value of reploid life.

That's exactly the same abstract concept that Sigma presented in X. That's also a pointless retread, except Sigma wins.

Reminder that Copy X did nothing wrong. Reploids are the biggest threat to world peace and need to be exterminated. None of the atrocities that occurred in the X and Zero series would've happened without the Reploid menace.

X has never been the smartest anything. A capable leader of the Maverick Hunters? yes but there are robots like Signas and that dude with the bird from Command Mission developed specifically for drawing up strategies or doing reconaissance.

In the Zero games they make it clear you're seeing Copy X's last days as a despot. In 2 nobody even cares that X is dead and by 3 even harpuia is completely sick of his shit.

I want Model O to become a plot-point since pieces of Ragnarok merged with Weil's soul are what comprise Model W. Some of the wreckage of Zero's original body ought to have survived and not just some spooky ghost data in Area N.

>No Rockman game where he kills X & Zero because theyre triple gay

I want Model Σ

It's simpler than that. Copy X believed he WAS X 1:1, period. He wouldn't believe someone claiming to be himself contradicting him.

But if they never made Reploids then when Zero wakes up all crazy and shit he's probably going to turn all of Earth into one big sandbox for his standoff against X, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.

Even not crediting him with inventions or R&D he is involved with given history snippets and how he inherently perceives, reacts, and evolves based on what he experiences. X has the uncanny habit of making asides that is shown or stated to accurately predict the outcome of the events of each game from X4 on.

2>3>4>1

4>2>3=1

Still can't imagine how this is anything but a good end.

That is what would make it worth it X finally figuring out that he became a reverse Sigma
Harpuia was the 3rd best character in the series because he was just a dude trying to stop a what the records defined as a god
In zero1
>he cannot be that strong all that remains of his time are stories passed from mouth to mouth surely he must have been exaggerated plus some records contradict themselves in some he is a blood starved berserker in other an unsung hero
In zero
>he must not be that strong or else he would have wiped out the entirety of neo arcadia by now maybe I can take him down by atriccion
In Zero 3
>it was all true we, I am alive just because he wills it and that in front of me is the other side of the tale… How could I have been so blind?

Didn't he always specify himself as the "perfect" copy of X?

He alternated between referring to himself as a copy and calling himself the original. Cognitive dissonance, he'd acknowledge being Copy X at the same time; see Zero 3 where he calls the cyber-elf X "My original form"

1 > 4 > 2 > 3

now leave my thread retards

I still don't understand something.

Wasn't Dr. Light sealing X away for 30 years supposed to be testing X's moral integrity? It was successful, right? Shouldn't most of this not happened?

What plot hole ? I don’t think you really understand what that word means.

Never.

Copy X was his loli descendants’ creation,not his. You want to blame anything blame the retards who think letting a premenstrual girl handle the creation of governmental head figure a nice idea.

Ciel is the actual villain of the Zero games, all because of her insatiable lust for robot dong.

X was perfectly handled, and was a moral person that cared about how his actions affected others. Ciel tried to take shortcuts creating Copy X and as a result he lacked that introspection X possessed.

Copy X is basically bootleg X. The same shortcuts that caused Sigma.

Three reasons.
1: Bad writing. There is no actual reason why he couldn't step in and talk to either Copy X or Harpuia.
2: Copy X is a dick and probably wouldn't listen.
3, the actual answer: The plot was hastily rewritten days before the end of development after Capcom vetoed genocidal hitler X.
