Zan has alleged that Wily built the first orbital elevator (MM10), although given the gravity shenanigans of that stage, that may not be an elevator at all but just one hell of a free-fall into the sky.
Possible, but elevator or not, it is still orbital. Which would be the biggest challenge in making such a construct. Adding an elevator inside would be a small feat by comparison.
I forgot how most of my time spent with you guys is simply catching you up to speed to effect a reasonable conversation. Thanks for reminding me why I don't drop by more often.
That's to be expected in any fanbase with a large amount of obscure information hidden behind a language barrier. I think you will find we are more up to speed than most, unless you just want people taking your words for granted.
In this case, the fact that solar was localized as plasma was well known. But plasma as something unique in its own right was not something ever discussed before.
Where this applies to RO, there is the following:
태양 에너지 - This would be "Solar Energy" and a 1:1 translation from the Japanese of what the buster should be running on.
플 라스마 - This is "Plasma". If you read the site and thought to reverse-engineer what you had read to apply to the Japanese version, you would arrive at a faulty conclusion contradicting what they had actually set forth.
Why could we not simply consider this case of "Plasma" to be the Korean localization of "Solar"? Just like any other localization issue, we in our minds simply revert it to mean Solar. In our years of dealing with localization, to determine what is and isn't nonsense, should be something we're used to by now.
In X7 this involved many using the same weapon, and all of which using the same basic form as X. But more importantly, the X Compendium and X7 books explain that AXL has the same special weapon ability X does.
I knew as much, but still we must acknowledge a slight difference between X's ability and Axl's.
Another example I was considering while on the subject. The very idea of Duo punching people out is itself but a nod to Ariga (which they got long before we did). Fun and silly, but how practical is it? Would Duo as a warrior for justice seriously start punching friends and strangers for white lies? There is so clearly a pop culture element involved in these biographies.
Manga acknowledgment in even Capcom's own materials is nothing uncommon. Eagleed in Day of Sigma comes to mind.
I would be more impressed by their attention to fine "details" if they didn't overlook them so regularly.
So "Plasma" and "VWS", that makes two cases. For us to consider overlooking such details a regular thing, what else is there?
If RO explains in their next blog post how here in the future everyone in this "Rockman" universe calls "repliroids" just "reploids"
Reploid and Repliroid are known to hold the same meaning; one is the localization of the other. Humaroid is either a new term introduced in this setting, to refer to the humanoid robots of the past, or a localization of humanoid robots. Can't we just glance over such localization differences?
You already pointed them out-ages of peace after the X series including Command Mission and with no public record of Neo Arcadia outside the cryptic visions of Cinnamon copies. More specifically for Command Mission, there are 1XX years from Zero's initial building and sealing to the start of the Zero series. These include a first sealing of unknown time, a second one following the Nightmare Incident occurring roughly some 50 years at least, and a third lasting a 100 years from the Elf Wars. With over 150 years accounted for with sealings coupled with Zero being a robot from an earlier era that is the same as X's at the very beginning of the series, most of all of this time is spent sleeping and perhaps only a decade or two at most of actual X series can occur in the time that is left. For Command Mission to fit in before Zero's second seal he must have been sealed initially after 2150. Placing it during or after the Elf Wars is similarly disjointing with little intermingled plot elements to fit its era. And we've already talked about all this last time. Oh well.
As we discussed last time, Command Mission might be tricky to place in relation to the ZC timeline, but by no means is it impossible. Furthermore, we were also doubting the actual timeframe and label of Zero's first seal. None of this can be faulted to Rockman Online.
With RO acknowledging Command Mission but not Rockman Zero, does RO in and of itself not fix all the above problems by being in an alternate timeline to Rockman Zero? At the very least known history up to RockmanX6 is in tact.
I just feel like it's the same old thing that goes nowhere without the proper context. It's great that when I'm not around for a while your egos will allow you to see that maybe I had some idea of merit, as long as you don't bring up the fact that I brought you the research in the first place.
The concept of a branching timeline isn't anything particularly new. It's been thrown around since the very beginning of Rockman Zero existing alongside the X-series. All you did was successfully argue it without having the strong bias against the continuing X-series that many others seem to suffer from. Back then we did indeed consider it as having merit, we just didn't see a branch as absolute necessity, nor confirmed.
Until necessity and/or confirmation are given to us, why choose branching over linearity? This is not yet like Twilight Princess and Wind Waker where the producers have outright confirmed the matter. Perhaps we should simply be more vocal toward the developers with these kind of questions?
