If ONE navigator wasn't bad enough to have listen to, wat about THREE? Layer and Pallete's specialized advice didn't help much anyway, even in Easy mode.
Mach Jentra: I heard you were dead.
Zero: You know me - never say 'die.'

I'd have loved to hear Axl's method to navigation. There'd have been panic in the streets.
Quite frankly, as stated by many a fan before, why have a navi in the first place during a 2D game's gameplay? Now, they would probably be useful if a level branched off into different paths (having the navi to explain what path has what advantages and disadvantages) or give you better tips how to defeat the maverick in the next room...
But why exactly did Capcom made two more navis? I have no idea other than they wanted to have female counterparts for the main characters.
Yes, for using them as secret characters (it's not a spoiler by now), they should have had a mini story and dialog with the mavericks. (I can only see this as a funny and somewhat nonsensical script. You know, finally some comedy in the X series?) It would have been really cool to have the guys switch to being navis too. They would be incompetent. XP
X: Keep going right until you hit the door to the boss' room.
Alia: What happens if I hit a wall before reaching to the door?
X: ...I don't have information on any walls... wait. The blue lines are the Y axis and the red are the X axis on the map, right?
Zero: To defeat an enemy, walk up to one and continue to press the [X] button until it blows up.
Layer: ...thanks for the tip, Zero.
Axl: ...And you know what I said to him? 'You can have the power generator, but you can't have my Nintendo Power magazines, Jerk.' I don't know why, but the guy punched me in the gut and ran off with my box of magazines! Can you imagine that! Of course I ran after him in hot pursuit. That's just when I bumped into Chris who just finished his Hunter exam. He got a 68% on it. That's passing, right?
Pallete: [Inside a room stuffed with mavericks attacking at every angle. She is fumbling with the OPTIONS menu.] Where is that darn 'Turn Off Navi Tips' button?!

Wouldn't that be the Square button? Man, you're right, they ARE incompetent!
Alia: ...I'm the reason that X can find you and finish you off!
Sigma: Vile, get the headache pills...
Alia: He would be nowhere without me! He even knows it!
Sigma: *drools, holds head in pain*
Alia: Hey, pay attention! You'll listen to X, but not me? That's sex discrimination you freak! You know, one of those-
Sigma:-puny-
Alia:....Earth countries has equal women's rights - it's in a law!
Sigma: *takes pills* I'll pay you twenty bucks if you can find me ten things here that shw I care about human governments.
Alia: I don't want twenty bucks. I want a cookie. That's sex discrimination! You probably gave Zero cookies when you had him in Eurasia! You know, everyone likes...
Sigma: *Reaching for Blade*
Alia: ...chocolate chip! I, personally like peanut butter, but oh well! Nobody cares about what I want...
Sigma: Vile, remember the old days?
Vile: When I was an insane killer who blew up tons of reploids when I only needed to destroy one?
Sigma: Yeah, those days. See this...thing-
Alia: ...M&Ms...DID YOU JUST CALL ME A "THING?"
Sigma: Okay, Vile.
Vile: Yaha-hahahahahahahahaha!
*explosion*
Mach Jentra: I heard you were dead.
Zero: You know me - never say 'die.'
well the navigators werent especially needed but I guess capcom wanted to give each hunter thier own girlfriend or something along those lines
Vroom, Vroooom.
I'll update this later.
Mach Jentra: I heard you were dead.
Zero: You know me - never say 'die.'
Break, that was excellent.
Axl: Now X...you're supposed to go into that blue thing infront of you...I think?
X: Blue thing..there's no blue th--
Axl: OHHHH wait..it's not a thing you're supposed to go into, you're ontop of it!
X: So I'm ontop of a thing I'm supposed to go--
Axl: You're supposed to be moving I think, there's a flashing red dot there now.
X: Isn't that red dot me?
Axl: No...I don't think it is, you're the blue dot because you're blue!
X: .....
Axl: OMIGOSH X THE RED DOT IS MOVING
X: There's nothing going on--O SH-
Axl: X? X what's happening?!
X: Maverick! Underneath..feet...you idiot!
Axl: MOVE, DALLAS! MOOOOOOOVE!!! ;___;
Axl: Zero, there's a pit infront of you!
Zero: Already past it, try and keep up Axl.
Axl: Stop being a meanie. =( I'm trying to help you!
Zero: I can do this all by myself.
Axl: Oh, really?
Zero: Yeah, I can. Don't need any help.
*10 minutes later*
Zero: Axl...I'm kinda lost. Can you give me directions to--
Axl: Tra la la you don't need help~~
Zero: Axl stop being a 12 year old and--
Axl: Lalalallalala
Zero: Axl.
Axl: Zimbabwe chatanooooooga!
Zero: AXL!!
Axl: I thought you were "calm and cool"?
Zero: Not usually around you. Now give me the--
Axl: Not helping youuuuuuu
Zero: AXL...GIVE ME THE DAMNED DIRECTIONS.
Axl: Awwwwwwwwwww you said a bad word...
Zero: Directions, now!
Axl: ...not helping you.
Zero: GOD WHY DIDN'T I STAY DEAD THE FIRST TIME?!

I would take the girls plus have Link's fairy, Navi, hanging around me any day than have one Axl telling me what to do. XP
AMEN TO THAT! Yeah... I guess the extra navigators are a bit pointless story-wise... But meh, I myself usually like seeing new characters anyway. ^^; ...Well, except Axl. Let's pretend he doesn't exist, shall we... <_<

I think it's nice to see new faces once in a while as long as they don't get forgotten too quickly. As such, if a Mega Man X9 is ever made, Layer and Palette should have some sort of role in it, even if we only see them during the introduction or conclusion. Otherwise, they get to be like throw-away objects.

Looking for me elsewhere? Maybe look at my Fediverse account for some more-or-less random postings! If you're a gamer, check out my Osmium profile. I'm building that tool!
I never used either of them after trying each out, why? Cause they didn't help me at all. I did so much better with just Alia. Though I barely listened to her, I needed her at times. For X8 was my first X game. *gets sprayed with holy water for being on a MM board and not playin one X game* Also I only played MM1 and MMBN3 and 5. *has a gallon thrown at him* Anyway, back to topic. Like I said, niether helped me. Just a waste, though....nevermind.
My turn for doing the thing!
X: Zero, you hear me?
Zero: Loud and clear, but where's Alia?
X:....You need to get to the generator and destroy it before more mavericks are made. I'm sending you a new weapon to help.
Zero: A new weapon? Ok send it. *weapons sent and it's a rocket launcher with the same colors as Alia from skin to armor* Wow sweet!
X: Yup the best we got, try it out. *Zero uses it and defeats the maverick in one hit*
Zero: Man this was sweet! What's it made of?
X: Remember when you asked me about Alia.....
X: Axl I'm here what's the mission.
Axl: Get to the sports department and pick me up a gun that matches my armor. I'd prefer the purple of it.
X: Wait...what ar...I'm in a mall?
Axl: What better place than a mall to get something you need. Now hurry up the mavrick I need to get rid of is attacking the town. He's two blocks away. Get going!
X: Shouldn't I do it, since I'm here, Axl?
Axl: No! He's mine! It's time I get the praise for once! And what better way to do it, than being flashy and cool?!
X: Axl....
Axl: Yeah X?
X:...Let me talk to Zero for a sec.
Axl: Yup.
Zero: Yeah X?
X: Axl has gone mavrick kill him now!
Zero: What?! Do you know how long I've been dreaming of this day?! I'm on it! *destroys Axl while laughing* Yaha-hahahahahahah!
X: *sniff* That's my Zero! Now off to destroy the maverick! *and so he did*
Edited by Blazen on September 12, 2006 at 17:41:56.

Umm, Blazen, would Zero really ever wait to kill Axl? Really.
X: Which one of you wants to be my navigator?
*after deciding, 1 hour later*
X: Axl, run an analysis on the Maverick here.
Zero: I already got him, X.
X: But you're at base...
Zero: The darned thing was right in front of me - so I slashed it - it's suffering a slow, painful death...
Axl: *gurgle* Uhhhh *wheeze*
X: ZERO!!!
* and so, Zero was shut in a pit for 100 years, they built Omega to replace him, and Axl, well, died.*
Axl: I need the right navigator for this mission.
X: Okay, go through the mission, and I'll tell you who's the best fit.
Zero: Just go with Alia.
Layer: WHAT? Oh, so you like ALIA now! *slap*
Axl: Okay, the mission is...
*10 minutes later*
Axl:...so I'll pick a number 1 through 10.
Mach Jentra: I heard you were dead.
Zero: You know me - never say 'die.'

YA RLY!! He would, for several reasons, moral, job, common sense, and of course the last and best....bait. Speaking of whitch....
Zero: Ok Axl, you stand here, he can't see you. Got it, as long as you stand still. Ok?
Axl: Ok...*stands there looking at the Mavrick, it looks back* Zero...it sees me...
Zero: No, it thinks it does, don't let think that...
Mavrick: Scum. *lifts giant foot*
Axl: Zer-*is squashed*
Zero: Mavrick scum! *stabs blade down it's head killing it*
*later at Axl's funeral*
Grasshopper: *chrip chirp chirp*
*Base*
X: Man, Z, I can't believe you did that! Hey I need more beer here. This is a party damn it!
Zero: X lay off the beer man, save some for the ladies.
Fangirls: We love you Zero!
Zero: Love you too, now have a drink. X...once thier drunk, we can kill em then and palce em in a car. That way it looks like an accident. Alright?
X: You got it.
So ther party continued without a flaw and good times for all. With Axl dead and the last Mavrick gone, they all lived happily ever after.
