Zero will get warned by X about Mosquitus in the first Doppler Lab level.Zero has increased animation speed with is Z-Saber and a slight increase with his buster speed.Zero has +4 more health than X to help offset his size difference.Whomever has the most combined takes the least damage. It uses their speed + power as the general idea.
