The Neutral Armor: What was Capcom thinking?

[Fusion]

In Megaman X8, there is yet another new armor. It's called the Neutral Armor and it may be Capcom's greatest armor idea yet.

You can get 8 parts for it, each part for a certain part of the body (head, body, arms, legs, etc...). Each one has a variant of either "H" or "I" and both have different abilites... For example Buster Parts H gives you a much stronger buster, whilst Buster Parts I gives you a tri-charge shot (Shot that shoots 3 weaker charged shots in a shotgun-ish spread. Think of a Metool firing three shots, and you've got how they fly.)

Even though the body parts are just mere recolors of parts on the Neutral Armor, I think this is the best idea Capcom has ever had for an Armor.

That's just what I think, however.

Do you think Capcom made a good decision letting us customize an armor like that?

i say yes, cos customisation is always coool and fun. also it means that you can have more variety in play styles. anyways, i say good idea capcom

I have all 8 Netural-Armor upgrades

Red-upgrades: the Icarus armor
Boots: doubles your jump hight
Gloves: Charged shots are much stronger Fully charged shot is a death beam
Armor: damage is cut in half
Helmet: you get a jump attack
Complete armor; Auto-charging giga attack

Blue-upgrades:Hermes armor
Boots: gives you shadow dash and increased speed
Gloves: gives you Trishot (Quint shot with X-drive)
Armor: take 0 damade from weak attacks and foes; (Invincible with X-drive)
Helmet: cuts all charging times in half
Complete armor: auto charging X-drive which boosts the powers of the hermes armor

heheh death beam, sweet...
i think its unanimous that the neutral armours=good idea

[Ballade]

combining parts also works but you loose the Giga attack and X drive

Capcom did teh buster thing back in X4. You could pick the Ultimate Shot thingy, or the tri, or quintuple shot, I think.
