Mega Man X3, the third in the spinoff series of Mega Man features Mega Man X once again fighting off hoards of renegade robots. This game was the first to feature Zero as a playable character. Zero's special move is a three way blaster charge, which ends with a sword slash. Other than that, it is standard Mega Man flare, which is to say it is certainly an above average game.
