Zero may get fewer armor upgrades, but has a unique combo system that allows him to chain together slashes and special techniques, allowing skilled players to pull off rapid combinations that feel right out of the Marvel Vs. Furthermore, these parts can be mixed for new effects unique to each combination, encouraging experimental gameplay.

The Maverick Wars, known as the Irregular Wars (, Iregyur Sensou) in Japan, was a series of global armed conflicts between legions of Mavericks led by Sigma, and the Maverick Hunters led by X and Zero.
