== Codec Call ==
* Snake: Mei Ling, this might sound crazy, but there's a robot in front of me who looks like an upgraded Mega Man.
* Mei Ling: Got it in one, Snake.
* Snake: Huh?
* Mei Ling: Mega Man X, or X for short, is a Maverick Hunter. His job is to destroy, or "retire", Reploids who commit crimes.
* Snake: So he's like a police officer of some kind?
* Mei Ling: In a way. His X-Buster is stronger than his predecessor's at least a thousandfold. But underneath all that futuristic weaponry and armor, X is really a pacifist.
* Snake: He's just like me. We don't like fighting, even though we both know we have to...for peace in the world.
* Mei Ling: I do feel your pain, Snake. Good luck.
==Trivia==
*Rising Fire was originally going to be just an Up Special for both ground and air, but Wing Spiral was chosen for his aerial Up Special due to not having a recovery.
