Snipe Anteator

Snipe Anteator ("Snipe Ariquick" in Japan) is a Maverick in Mega Man X7, and is perhaps considered the hardest of the Mavericks in this game.

In his arena of Cyber Field, he often runs around the column. His weakness is Moving Wheel or Zankourin, but it's hard to hit him with either. Volt Tornado or Raijinshou do just as good a job, as do the starting weapon.

When Playing as X
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!

When Playing as Zero
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!

When Playing as Axl
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.
