Yes, Mega Man 9 takes place a week before Zero was unleashed and killed everyone.

The source is my imagination.

Yes... Capcpm does make alot of mistakes.

Yes. Even thought Capcom said they didn't want to bridge the X series with Mega Man 9, they "forgot" to mention that.

Thank you for bringing this into light.

Let me just help you out here...

You were spewing out nonsense and pure false speculation when we know otherwise. It makes you look quite ignorant, that's all.

Also... it's spelled "Capcom", and you say the word "probably" in the English language.

Thank you, but to clear something up, wasn't X built in 2016 September 18th, and Mega Man 9 occurred in 2016, right.

Where did that come from?

Seriously. Cite a source, otherwise it's coming from your behind.

I'm pretty sure dates in the Classic series ended with 20XX anyway. There's been no specific date.

Post by: NovaMan XP on 4 December 2008, 23:44:56
Wikipedia or Wikias are NOT reliable sources at ALL.

They're actually probably were most false things get passed around as fact. It's unknown when classic ends or when X begins unless you want to say Classic ends at 20XX and X begins in 21XX.

Wikipedia doesn't get enough credit. It's actually pretty accurate MOST of the time, just not 100% reliable. It's a great way to do private research just for your own interest.

Just not for actual reports and essays and such.


Title: Re: We may see all the connections between the X and Original series.
Post by: ChaosVortex on 5 December 2008, 02:09:45
Right.

I hate it when someone says that Wikipedia is downright wrong or something similar. It's actually quite useful.

It's just... it's Wikipedia. Get your reliable information elsewhere and don't put your faith in Wikis...

LOOOOOOOOL

We do not know exactly when Mega Man X was sealed in his capsule, but the approximation of the year 2016 is a fair calculation as this is roughly when the Wily Wars comes to an end. This would concur with the opening of the capsule- the copyright date on Cain's computer is 2114, and since his computer is most likely not brand-new, 2116 is a fair date (we know that X was supposed to have been sealed for a century).

I meant like, the Wikipedia entries on Mega Man. For everything else I think its good.

It's just funny that the Mega Man Timeline page there is called "WikiKnowledge", but it's loaded with pure speculation.


Title: Re: We may see all the connections between the X and Original series.
Post by: Mikero on 6 December 2008, 01:39:55
There's two things I'd like to say about the MegaMan Wikia that aren't necessarily bad;

1) It's got a lot more information than it needs.
2) It assumes the sort that go there can read.

What I'm saying here is that the "2016" part, was probably a segment of speculation from fans, it was probably labelled as speculation properly, but the reader, of course, missed that. I am also saying that the entry about the speculation has no business being on the site in the first place, and it's all too easy to have a site that's too comprehensive.

LOOOOOOOOL

We do not know exactly when Mega Man X was sealed in his capsule, but the approximation of the year 2016 is a fair calculation as this is roughly when the Wily Wars comes to an end. This would concur with the opening of the capsule- the copyright date on Cain's computer is 2114, and since his computer is most likely not brand-new, 2116 is a fair date (we know that X was supposed to have been sealed for a century).

I'm sorry, can you honestly say there's much flaw in that logic? I don't agree with it, but it's not actually a ridiculous theory, assuming Wily Wars actually said the year(s) it happened during.

Wikipedia doesn't get enough credit. It's actually pretty accurate MOST of the time, just not 100% reliable. It's a great way to do private research just for your own interest.

Just not for actual reports and essays and such.

Exactly. The real Wikipedia gets a bad rap because anyone can edit it, but that doesn't mean any edit goes through. Half the time, if you don't put a full on cite when you edit, it doesn't go through (I've tried with the Mumia Abu-Jamal page, but couldn't be bothered to get a link). They have dedicated staff that spend all #####ing day fact-checking.

Actually to quote from the book I've been reading;

"No editor ever questioned what I wrote, but I assume that's the World Book way. They pick an expert and trust that the expert won't abuse the privilege.
In fact, having been selected to be an author in the World Book, I now believe that Wikipedia is a perfectly fine source for your information, because I know what the quality control is for real encyclopedias."

-- page 42, The Last Lecture, Randy Pausch (with Jeffrey Zaslow).

Good book.

Post by: Panda on 7 December 2008, 02:11:37
I'm so writing that quote at the end of the bibliography of my next essay.

Yeah, I was laughing because it's speculation, even in the reasoning for why they chose 2016 they admit that they estimated that Cain's computer was 2 years old.

ca. 2371-2400: In order to ensure that the violence of the First Maverick War, the Elf Wars, and the Second Maverick Wars do not recur, a truce between humans and Reploids is agreed upon. Furthermore, Reploids agree to have lifespans and humans begin to have mechanical parts integrated into their bodies. In essence, the difference between "man and machine" become negligible as humanoids emerge. The ones who do not choose to follow this truce are branded Mavericks. Also during this period nations emerge, such as Innerpeace.

When did that happen? Is it a ZX thing?

I think that's mentioned somewhere in ZX. If there's a mark on a human's forehead, it's supposedly a humanoid.

Sorry for being generic and cliche, but lol. I think I'm gonna like this mod.

As for the Mega Man Wikia, there's a certain part of one page I found quite silly, and shouldn't be how a sentence in a Wiki should be.

Here's a quote from the page on Blast Hornet:

When playing Zero in Mega Man Xtreme 2, you can waste the big bug with Dash.

Doesn't sound intellectual.

They also forgot to put the word "as" in between "playing" and "Zero".

Maybe I should help em out by correcting these silly mistakes..........


Title: Re: We may see all the connections between the X and Original series.
Post by: TheRedPriest on 29 December 2008, 18:31:30
Technically that's not so bad as playing Zero and playing as Zero are pretty much the same.  The rest is... well, yeah...
