Mega Man Zero 2/Forms

Zero gains "Forms" that alter his abilities by performing certain tasks while on a mission. You can only get one Form per mission, the only exceptions being the Proto and Ultimate Forms. Zero's color scheme changes to indicate his current Form.

Sortable table of contents:

[[File:MMZ2 Basic Form Icon.PNG]] Normal Form


Zero's default Form that you begin the game with. It has no unique abilities of its own, but a balanced amount of abilities.

[[File:MMZ2 Energy Form Icon.PNG]] Energy Form


How to obtain: Collect 25 large E-Crystal capsules in one mission.

This Form makes energy capsules appear more often. It also alters his triple-slash combo so that he performs the second slash twice, then the first slash, and he can only fire two bullets from his buster at a time.

[[File:MMZ2 X Form Icon.PNG]] X Form


How to obtain: Kill 50 enemies with the Buster Shot in one mission.

With this Form, the Buster Shot can have four bullets on screen at a time instead of the normal three, and their power is increased. However, he can only perform the second slash of his triple-slash combo.

[[File:MMZ2 Defense Form Icon.PNG]] Defense Form


How to obtain: Kill 20 enemies with the charged Shield Boomerang in one mission.

This Form raises Zero's defense and the power of his Shield Boomerang, but lowers his attack power.

[[File:MMZ2 Erase Form Icon.PNG]] Erase Form


How to obtain: Reflect 30 shots back at enemies with the Shield Boomerang in one mission.

This Form enables Zero's Saber to destroy enemy shots or cancel out bullets with an uncharged Shield Boomerang. However, he can only perform the second slash of his triple-slash combo.

[[File:MMZ2 Active Form Icon.PNG]] Active Form


How to obtain: Kill 20 enemies with a dashing Saber slash in one mission.

This Form allows Zero to perform a spinning Saber slash while in the air or a Rolling Slash when dashing, and maximizes his speed. However, enabling Sengatotsu disables the dashing rolling slash, and Zero can only perform the first slash of his triple-slash combo.

[[File:MMZ2 Power Form Icon.PNG]] Power Form


How to obtain: Pull 30 things with the Chain Rod in one mission.

This Form greatly increases Zero's attack power, but makes him move slower, and he can only perform the third slash of his triple-slash combo.

[[File:MMZ2 Rise Form Icon.PNG]] Rise Form


How to obtain: Kill 20 enemies with a midair Saber slash in one mission.

This Form changes the third slash of Zero's triple-slash combo into an upward swing, which is slightly more effective at doing damage, and allows him to move faster.

[[File:MMZ2 Proto Form Icon.PNG]] Proto Form


How to obtain: Beat the game and save, and/or play on Hard Mode afterward.

This Form greatly increases Zero's attack power, but he can only perform the first slash of his triple-slash combo, his defense is lowered, and none of his weapons except the Shield Boomerang can be charged. Zero receives it automatically and is locked into using this form when entering the first mission of Hard Mode.

[[File:MMZ2 Ultimate Form Icon.PNG]] Ultimate Form


How to obtain: Find, raise, and use every Cyber-Elf in the game.

This Form allows you to perform charged attacks without charging by using Street Fighter-like button combinations. It has an equal amount of abilities, but has better stats than the Basic Form, and causes no weapon restrictions.
