Ever since I found a game genie code for X3 that lets you always play as Zero (with a few graphical glitches and issues before a Boss Fight) I've thought it would be cool if X3 was remade to have Zero as the main character of the game and have all the levels and story dialog re-done. Y'know, maybe X doesn't get saved from that big magnet thing in the beginning and the bad guy teleports away with X and Zero must fight through the whole game instead of him.

That alternative you mentioned was something I actually wanted to do for later on. There's a lot of stories I want to recreate using X3 and they could all be pretty interesting.
I'm playing the beta you had up on Youtube (took me several attempts to patch the rom, then after trying it unheadered I thought it still wasn't affecting it because I assumed I'd get to play Zero from the begining, and then after the beginner stage I'd forgotten you had to press a specific button while in the menu to get Zero.) Got to the Air Dash capsule in the Ice area, couldn't enter it from the left, did it from the right though and Dr. Light's still talking to X instead of Zero. I like that Zero can use X's Boss Weapons (even though some of them don't match up to his arm cannon right like Ray Splash and Acid Burst), I think it would be nice though if the Z Saber could be done sorta like it is in X4 and the Zero games on GBA, a quick slashing weapon (there's a game genie code to make it so the Saber move can be done just by pressing Y, but the animation is still slow so it makes it not so good as an all-the-time mele weapon). I hope you do more with this idea.
He'll have an X4 type motion after the Fully Playable Zero hack. That hack is just Zero being playable without bugs. The next version to come out, the Remastered version in a way, would have Zero doing X4 motions along with a lot of other changes.
