Rather than bothering to preserve a continuity made from bad localization, we have to get the real facts to the fans. Because if we start with there being different continuities, it makes the story much more complicated than it has to be.
Again, I hope one of them does give me more information, cause from what you've described, I see little reason why they can't just Macross/Robotech it.
Theres very little to talk or speculate about given how little facts we've gotten.
Okay, can I just ask, what exactly is so badly localized about the US MegaMan games?
I dont understand why people want to PRESERVE a US continuity, when it is full of horible changes that even Capcom has been trying to forget, erase, and fix.
I mean, it's about time she appeared in other game.
I'd like to speculate a bit.
They seem to be pushing the arcade stuff quite a bit, so I think the powerups will mostly be based on the Capcom arcade classics. Maybe the arcade machines themselves will be inside the game. Heck, maybe the classic games will be unlockable.
Really, Powered Up did not mention any new backstory in Japan.
Why is it so hard to consider everything as a single whole?
And could you guys stop arguing over if there is a damned US continuity or not?
Because it deviates so greatly from the MM1 (not only from the box and manual, but also as it agrees much more with the Japanese version of the game), as well as it's addition of Oilman and Timeman, I consider Megaman Powered Up to be a separate continuity rather than an addition or overwrite of the US game continuity.
As game information is supposed to be additive and not overwriting, MMPU provides an enormous amount of incomparable information. So much so that it's disruptive to the normal flow of information in the US game continuity. While it might overwrite continuity on the Japanese side of things (a whole 'nother discussion), it's simply seperate on the US side.
the US-continuity is thus in no way different from the Japanese continuity, it is all one whole with many inconsistencies.
You might want to go back and re-read your own actual posts then, or can't you keep your own points straight?
So by Gonzo's logic, rather lack there of, just about each game forms a new continuity. Wonderful.
Wily did not seclude and steal Right's robot at "the same time." He secluded himself for some time and stole Right's robots upon his return.
"Wily went into seclusion, with the implication that his leaving it and his theft of Light's robots happened at the same time" (JP).
What you seem to have missed however, is that both those things ARE mentioned in US sources.
the US continuity would be the same as the Japan continuity with some added stuff.
From the very beginning, we've said that the "US-continuity" is inconsistent with itself. You argued: Inconsistencies do not make it any less of a continuity. But at the same time you say that the US-exclusive info being inconsistent with the Japanese-exclusive info demands two continuities.
I think your stance is what's inconsistent here; if inconsistencies do not destroy continuity, then all is one continuity regardless of inconsistencies.
In the view that there is but one continuity, what is noted are the inconsistencies. Inconsistencies do not require the creating of a continuity of its own.
This is why I don't really agree with the label of "continuity" to replace "canon"
Maybe Gonzo wants to talk about an "Aile continuity" and "Vent continuity"
and the notion that one of the two girls in XCM is in fact an impersonator.
This game is looking pretty freaking awesome so far.
So he goes around following what his brother does on the internet and later steals his accounts to flame his own brother and steal his failed projects? Ok
I'll try to work on my own engine,because due to N-Mario's engine not being updated and such i'm going to go and work on my own engine
give me about a Few Monthsand we'll see
You know, if someone were to take the time and thought that Hyper, Zan's and whoever has the urge to debate Megaman timelines in an off topic conversation like serious business and convert that into a an operation that's constructive, we could have cured cancer three times over by now.
As far as that new game goes, if it's a "Take a picture of your room and have Megaman run through it", then most gamers are going to have an Olympic obstacle course set.
So MMUS Will basically take place in the Zero Cataclysim as i've fully decided
Other than that, I'm guessing that, from those other characters, Megaman will probably be using them as powerups or something. If that actually entails FIGHTING them as bosses, I'd certainly love to see that.
On a technical side note here, Legends contradicted the actual established canon up to that point. That is why it was removed. The Dreamcast game also looked pretty terrible the more I learned of it. It has a Belmont who runs away from his destiny like a coward. He is time traveled to the past in the year 1666 and cries like a pussy and doesn't fight. Then Sonia gets time traveled to the year 1666 to make him stop being a pussy. And then all this was orchestrated by an ass ugly female Dracula character. Terrible, even by video game story standards. No wonder it got canceled.
Yet you cannot deny that the game creators deem them irrelevant for the purpose of continuing the story. If the localization team does the same, then the "continuity" we arrive at is no longer even CoA-approved, and exists solely to the players who take it upon themselves to do so. Dangerously close to fanon, I'd say.
First of all, nobody is talking about what can and cannot be talked about.
