So far they have only developed the pro man vs pro machines aspect, all while never actually having much human representation until the point where cyborgs are a common thing.

      According to Mega Man 11, this trouble started because Wily thought giving robots unstoppable power and speed would mean they would always be respected. Light saw the danger in this idea and counter-proposed giving robots advanced AI and a moral compass so they could not be easily coerced into evil. Wily did his best to spite this idea and reprogram as many robots to turn on humans as he could. For as much as many people want to place the blame on Light for the troubles of the Mega Man world, it has always started with Wily's pride and thirst for power.

    Mega Man 8 might be the most important game. Duo and the unnamed robot he was fighting in space might be what gave X and Zero their power. Most notably the unnamed robot and his "Evil Energy" might be the origin of the Maverick Virus. Duo does return in Power Fighters. Could it be possible he gave Dr. Light some of his power? Which negates Evil Energy. Why else would Dr. Light been working so hard on X? Perhaps he knew it was too late and Dr. Wily did get ahold of the Evil Energy and unlocked its power!

    In one of X5's endings, X mentions his dream of a place called Elysium where humans and reploids can live together. Mega Man Legends 2 was made around that time so I feel like Capcom was trying to hint that Legends was indeed connected without literally spelling it out. It was a nice touch. This means that X's dream kinda comes true... before Elysium screws everything up again.

    In Megaman X6, the timeline continuity splits into two due to Zero’s choice on whether to sleep or not to study the virus that used to be implanted in him. The choice where Zero doesn’t go to sleep leads to X7, X8 and Command Mission. And the choice where he goes to sleep leads to the Zero series and ZX series and eventually the Legends series.

    • @YuriNoel7
      @YuriNoel7 Před 4 lety +13

      Ismael Cortez There is no split X timeline. The ending in X6 is said to take place at the end of the X series (which means it takes place after X7 and X8). The video already stated that Command Mission is not canon even if the Zero ending caused a split. The only reason why the Zero series has somewhat of a loose continuity with the X series was due to the devs of the Zero series were essentially forbidden from interacting with the team that was working on the X series at the time for story reasons.

Despite this, Inticreates (the company that made the Zero and ZX games) decided to craft the storyline of their games with the idea that everything that happens leads to the events of Mega Man Legends (you can read this for yourself in the interview included in the back of the book Mega Man Zero Official Complete Works).

    Command Mission was meant to be canon and takes place between the X series and Zero series. Either Zero was reawakened to participate (although there is no actual evidence of this) similar to how it is strongly implied he was reawakened to help X fight in the Cyber Elf Wars, or he was put in stasis sometime after Command Mission and was not in stasis for the full 100 years (which makes more sense considering he had to be awakened by Ciel instead of awakening on his own).

Definitely do a Network series since I played it thinking it was a prequel on how professor Light and Willy probably made MegaMan but it came out after. Just amazing work mate keep it up.
