That was just in MvC3, not the Mega Man Zero games. The person writing those lines must have been confused.

Oh we going Megaman Zero canon in this bitch? 
Which was (surprise surprise) similar in make and look to the Zero portrayal in that series of games. It's explicitly mentioned multiple times by the series artist Toru Nakayama and art team that the only difference between MMZ Zero and MMX Zero are cosmetic and dictated by the art direction used in the Z series. The reason for the art direction differences were because Inafune wanted a distinct style that would stand out versus the then current style used for the Megaman series up until that point.

Really? I guess the art style should've given it away, but I have MvC3 and I don't remember that scene at all.
I don't know why I got involved in this in the first place, as I know nothing about Mega Man anyway. Ignore me.

No see, he's totally correct. See Megaman Zero is Zero in the slim body, while he's just Zero in the big body, which is in MVC3. Like DBZ, you don't just say Goku when he's super saiyan. You gotta announce him accurately as Super Saiyan Goku. Mega Man Zero.

But he has "Mega Man" in his name!
Hmmm that would make sense, but Niitsuma says otherwise so it can't work. Maybe he retains the title after he goes back.

Question but was X ever actually referred to as Megaman within his own games? Because I feel like he wasn't.
The use of the title "Megaman Zero" was to A.) suggest that it was a sequel series to the overall "Megaman" franchise (coming in after Megaman and Megaman X) and B.) focus on the character of Zero who was promoted from extremely popular side kick in the Megaman X series to the main character of his own four game long series.
The confusion (though it shouldn't really be, it's not that hard to keep track of) comes with the introduction of the EXE/Battle Network series which takes place in a second concurrent continuity where the robotics slant of the Megaman/X/Zero/ZX/Legends lineage is replaced by a "software" angle wherein Megaman and other famous robots are reimagined as data programs to help mankind in a massively interconnected and always online world.
Holy shit did I seriously just post this much about the franchise at the drop of a hat... :lol
Once in like the first or second game by Dr. Light but that was it.

Dude, there's nothing to admit. We have a quote from the director, and all the mega whizzes are supporting him.
not if I have anything to say about it.
I'm just talking Megaman because this is my favorite timeline/sub series in the focus and it's been like 9 years since someone's legitimately pulled the "(Megaman) Zero is Megaman" card. It's nostalgic.

I managed to get a loljk out of him once, but that was almost certainly a backpedal after I thoroughly disproved his argument.

That explains it. I don't think I played all the way through with more than three characters, and that was a while ago. I'm awful at that game lol
Anyhow, so far this week we've had two PotDs featuring attacks, one featuring costumes, and one featuring a stage hazard which also contained a costume. Now, we know that Sakurai always follows predictable patterns for the PotD. Add to that it's Friday (aka Megaton Day,) we can conclude that today we'll get a megaton related to costumes and attacks. Now which character has an alt and also has attacks? You guessed it: Wario tonight. QED.

Except his "real body" looked identical to his new body, which kind of ruined this plot twist for me.
This isn't correct.
Zero WAS made by Wily, but he did not turn good in any pod. In fact, Mega Man X4 explicitly shows a period where he was very much a psychopathic murderer on the loose, where Sigma (who was still a good guy at the time) just narrowly beat him in a swordfight. Presumably Zero only turned "good" after Dr. Cain had at his circuitry after said battle - although whatever virus Zero was infected with got into Sigma during that fight, and is part of why he turned into the series's villain.

I know we at least have a Cutman alt, but a Bass alt would be sick!

Haha, agreed; nothing more mega than freedom! Are there actually any characters left that would possibly get an American themed costume?

Niitsuma doesn't know what he's talking about and his statement was disproven by his own fucking game, and only one person in here even kinda sorta agreed with you, and his argument was basically trashed anyway.
