It almost seems like it's too much of a gap to bridge between the Classic series and the Original. If everyone got killed and such, and they spent a long time making it powerful and dramatic, that would all be well for X fans because that's launching into the series they expect such things from. Classic fans, however, would feel betrayed by the transition into a completely unfamiliar ground.

Alternately, if they closed it with some happy the-day-is-saved scenario, with the triumphant hero, X supporters might feel disconnected, as if the series they value has kind of been forced into the game out of necessity . They might feel that Capcom ripped them out of a proper prelude to their series.

The best decision for Capcom would be a middle-ground between the too, but I find that it would be fairly hard to accomplish... it may be one of those things that's fine remaining just "there," without a deep transition, so the series stay as distinct as they were intended to be.

I think it was always meant to be vague. It just gives it a certain feeling that feels appropriate.

That's most likely it, and if you ask me, it's how it should be. Besides, it keeps the fanfic authors happy. Gives them something to work with.

What I said was sarcasm too, you know.

Actually, I believe there is a project being done to introduce Megaman themed skins into Unreal Tournament...it looks very cool. I saw a video of someone using the Bass skin, and he was using the buster correctly and everything.

I've seen that too, I saw screenshots of both Mega Man and Bass, and it looked pretty good. Didn't know there was a video, though.

YouTube is your friend.

I've been into X since '93 too (go go Nintendo Power) but..I really wouldn't like to see a dramatic MM9. I'd laugh if that happened. Original MM doesn't work like that.

Besides..WHY is everyone still up on this whole "MM, Protoman, Dr Light, and everyone DIES" scenario? Why can't anything ELSE happen? Too much webcomic reading?

If they were alive, you'd imagine they would have shown up by now. I mean, what with the world in danger like a bajillion+ times SUPA JUSTICE ROKKUMAN would have tried to help somehow.

And when X was captured by Mac, both Zero AND Proto Man would come in, trying to help him! And probably would get in an argument about it...

Most people think that one: Rock, Roll, Blues, Forte, so on and so forth have all been destroyed by 21XX, as previously stated, and two: that Zero caused the Cataclysm. I know Zero is pretty powerful, but seriously? One robot turning most of Earth into a wasteland? I just don't see it.

So it WOULD be pretty nice if Capcom filled us in on what event(s) transistioned from the Classic era to the X era.

I always hear that from people who don't agree, but I've never actually heard someone list some examples, and I'm quite stumped. If Rock was alive, he would have made an attempt to stop Sigma at least once.

A lot of people have the belief that Rock gets defeated by Zero, and Dr. Light upgrades him into Megaman X, and puts him into the storage. But isn't it canonical that Rock and X are two seperate robots?

Didn't Inafune settle the matter?

I'm not sure. That's why I asked the question.

I believe he officialy said Rock and X are seperate, but people still get gung ho over it.

Any of the robots could have been turned into something else.

Wily and Light are most likely dead..well, Light is in those capsules.. Not officially alive, but close.

The robots could be used for power sources..strung up somewhere.

Maybe they're part of computers, or databases..

Maybe even scrapped and used for parts, so Chill Penguin has part of Megaman's leg as his elbow.

I mean come on, use your imaginations people.

...So X could be like, using MM's head as a toaster for the Hunter base?

Ice Man's parka could now be Zero's beer cooler!

Heat Man is now the lighter Sigma uses to light another delicious Cuban cigar.

EXACTLY!

Now you're all gettin' it. Gotta open your mind to other possibilities.
