Snipe Anteator

"The annals of history contain endless records of war... The "madness" will never end."

- Snipe Anteator

Snipe Anteator, known as Snipe Ariquick (スナイプ・アリクイック) in Japan, is a Maverick in Mega Man X7.

His weakness is Moving Wheel or Zankourin, but his tendency to move around the column in his battle arena makes it difficult to hit him with either. Volt Tornado or Raijinshou do just as good a job, as do the starting weapons.

Dialogues
Snipe Anteater: Hahahah! Splendid! Even better than expected.

X: How long must this madness go on!

Snipe Anteater: Hahaha! Let me ask you - how long has this madness been going on?

X: ?!

Snipe Anteater: The annals of history contain endless records of war... The "madness" will never end.

X: You're wrong! We can create a world without war. Utopia is not just a dream!

Snipe Anteater: You can't build a utopia on top of the graves of rebels like myself.

X: But...Even so...I... I must follow my beliefs!

Snipe Anteater: Hohoh! Very well! But you've forgotten your true mission.

Zero: ...? My true mission?

Snipe Anteater: I see data buried deep within you... Is it memories of the future? Or false images of the past?

Zero: ...

Snipe Anteater: Blue - the lies that have infested the earth. Red - those destroyed and sealed away forever.

Zero: Hm! I don't know what you saw, and I don't care either. My "true mission" is to defeat you, here and now!

Snipe Anteater: Hahahah... You certainly are driven.

Zero: I don't have time to listen to your prattling. Ready yourself!

Snipe Anteater: Hohoh! So you've come, little one?

Axl: Isn't it about time for your retirement?

Snipe Anteater: Ah-hah, this little one is a big talker! Shouldn't you concentrate on being granted Hunter status?

Axl: Ah, man! You always were good at figuring people out...

Snipe Anteater: Hohoh! Yeees. And of course, I know why you're here too. So why do you think I'm here?

Axl: Know thine enemy, is it? You're a real pain, geezer.

Snipe Anteater: Hohoh!! Now, I want you to fight like normal. I need to get good data on you, boy!

Axl: Fine with me. I'm no good at holding back anyway.
