You can play as zero in 3, there’s a Rom hack that even lets you play as him unlimitedly.

EDIT:
Also I remember that you can play as Zero in X3 but the controls were abysmal in comparison to how Zero’s controls in X4 and X5
I Agree that zero is pretty bitchin in the PlayStation ones, but the original 3 just have such killer tone and imagery.
I agree on the tone as it was a bit darker and I wasn’t too big on X4 and X5 being lighter in comparison but I have always dug the sprites for X4 and X5 better. Mostly in part of them looking more like adults.
I felt like X was only hunting maverick in his spare time away from playing guitar for Slayer.
I wouldn’t mind him replacing Kerry King; he would have been a way stronger guitarist.
Abd about X8, you should seriously play it. It is exactly NOTHING like x7 other than being able to take 2 characters to a level. Its a pure homage to the first 5, incorporating elements from both the SNES and PS ones. Its tone and music honor the SNES games but it has a lot of features of the PS ones too, and zeros sword control is fantastic. They also made axl a unique and useful player instead of just a weaker X with autofire and shape shifting. Except for 2 levels it’s all 2d too and those are just autoscroll JetBlue levels.
That sounds exactly like what I wanted out of X7 even though I was very enthusiastic at first about it going into 3D. Even as a kid I knew something was off.
Take it from someone who loves the first 5 and hates 7 (6 is just meh), 8 is a great experience. You can tell they actually tried on this one to please the fans.
Let’s not even get on X6. The fact that it retconned the ending in X5 is enough to discredit the game in it’s entirety. Also the X upgrades were bad; especially that weird black suit.
It even has decent voice acting. (Ever played the RPG MMX command mission? It uses the same actors from that)
I never would have thought. I’m fully convinced now lol

AK would have been so much better if it were Mega Man 2 for the NES.
Fixed for everybody! : )
Having played X - X7 it’s hard to go back the originals due to the lack of Dash Boots. It makes them almost impossible for me to fully enjoy.
