The X's stand for a unknown date so its like they are saying sometime around the year 20XX (XX=1-99)

That 20XX... those Xs stand that maybe those could be any number. It can me 2020, or 2067. Used in multiple events hapening between those two digits in time, of if you don't remember the year exactly.

And about the X CM and X8 plothole... in X CM, Axl speaks like he's never seen other reploids with his skills yet... And when he sees Redips, he even is suprised. In X8, he is used to them already. So that means he has seen others like him already. Which this brings up that first goes XCM and then X8.

But, if we take the aftermath of X8, [spoil:45aea6a92c]The production ot new generation reploids with the copy chip used in the Maverick act of the Jakob project is stopped. Years pass, and their production resumes not caring oif what the chips might do.[/spoil:45aea6a92c] So between that time, XCM might occur. But Axl might not be so surprised because he would know of new generation reploids with copycat skill already.

But of course, its just a guess. ^_^

Somehow I think the timeline proof goes against Command Mission happening before X8. XD though what you say about Axl is a good point. I think sometimes the writers (or translators) are on drugs and kinda don't think things through all the time.

Man that is a complext timeline. *head spins* XD

This is really interesting. My friend and I always got Zero X and the... er, other zero(...?) mixed up. Now I can tell her how Zero died multiple times and was rebuilt again... and again... and then was put to sleep for a long time...... Laughing

That is a very complicated timeline. It's nice to see all the info nice and neat, though.

Old topic, yes, but I was wondering about timelines and such myself the other day and decided to come here in search for answers. Although I'm more interested in how things lead to the Legends series and if they will eventually make more of those games or cross them over or anything.

You see I only recently got a DS and my first game was Megaman ZX. After playing Megaman Zero 1, 2, and 3, I've noticed references to Legends in all of them and the same holds true in ZX. So now I'm wondering where all of the pieces of the puzzle go and how many are left to find. Anyone else care to expand on the subject?

Well I recall reading an article on Megaman Legends that says it takes place 200 years after zero but I don't remember where the article is.

Oh and about your megaman question. I think he would be dead since Quint is supposedly megaman from the future and I think he killed him in one of the games. But I'm not 100% certain that he did.

Hm, I must have missed that somewhere. Is Quint considered to be an official "canon" character though? I think he only showed up in the GB games didn't he? Some don't consider those games to be canon and just GB remakes of the NES games. (Kind of poor ones at that.) Maybe that is why they've held back the GBA/DS remake of the GB Megaman games. I don't think I've heard of Quint being anything more than another Wily-bot. Confused

Besides, if he destroyed himself, wouldn't there be some sort of history altering feedback loop that would destroy the whole universe or something? -.-

Are you sure its only 200 years after Zero? ZX takes place at about that time, or after doesn't it? I thought Legends was almost 1000 or more years after everything else. Supposed to be the end of the whole game series, besides EXE (which is its own timeline).

Legends is thousands of years after everything else, too... but I don't think the year was ever stated offically. We have 2 suggestions for those timelines, 52XX or 8XXX.

Also, Quint is part of an alternate future where Megaman is stolen from the future anmd altered. (Kinda like Megaman? in Powered up, except that one wasn't 'The real Megaman") So there is no time paradox. Remember... Dragonball Z? >: effectivly, no such thing as time paradoxes...

Since there's no real spoilers on Megaman: Powered Up, there's 2 versions: New Style, which is a new story mode, featuring 2 new bosses, plus the ability to play as all the robot masters and 2 additional characters. And Old Style is a rehash of the NES game with the new graphics. When you play as a Boss, what would have been their stage becomes "Megaman?'s" stage. This counts as a seperate storyline since, well... you're not playing as Megaman. XD

Also you get a level editor... with all this, Powered Up seems to be a PSP exclusive, along with their other games that seem to be better versions of Capcom's older games such as Ghosts n' Goblins, Power Stone, and MHX... I got it, it was pretty much worth it... o.o

I knew about the two extra bosses and level editor, but I didn't know about the two modes. Hmm... I also know that one of the extra bosses is slightly altered in the US released due to some sort of racial issue... -.- So...what, do the bosses just find Megaman at the end and defeat him? Get his power and move on? I'm not that afraid of spoilers as long as they're marked and all. ^_^

Eh, I'm still not convinced to buy a PSP. I'll wait until something else can play the games instead if they won't release the games on another system. PSPs (IMO) just aren't worth the money. Too fragile, not enough games I would play to warrant buying it, and I'm not sure I would like having a portable system that uses CDs for games. WAY too easy to scratch and get messed up.

I was talking to a friend about the GB Megaman games and we sort of agreed that they are probably taking place inside their own timeline. Unless you don't count the first two or so. Because those are basically the GB versions of the NES games... The later GB games had original bosses and plot, but took off from the first couple of GB games, so it was like Megaman on a smaller, more confusing scale. Maybe that's part of why Capcom wanted to remake them all in a collection with enhanced features and graphics. Maybe they'll either make it link with the rest of the Megaman games, or they'll clarify more and make them its own separate side story...dimention/reality/what have you.

Now I'm having a new thought. Was anyone else sorta disappointed in Megaman ZX when [spoil:e74f04b296]models X and Z merged to form...ta da! Megaman Zero! ...Honestly, I kinda felt let down. I wanted X and Z to be separate and have their own things to upgrade and enhance and learn. I understand that you CAN have just X if you beat the game or something, but still. X and Zero should have been separate I felt. Instead of chosing between a boy or a girl, you should have been able to chose between X or Z. Just my lil opinion. [/spoil:e74f04b296]

I mean, I could see a clearer path to Legends before they did that. Now its more confusing. Granted, I haven't beaten the game yet, so I don't know what happens at the end, but I'm betting on sequels. Here's what I think: Roll's parents, or just Roll herself (in Legends) are somehow related to Ciel from MMZ, the bio-metals will evolve and become more human than machine, but more god-like than human, there is a great war involving them and a lot of people die and Megaman Trigger is greatly wounded and has to go into reanimation mode/suspended animation, some super weapon gets created that causes massive earthquakes and floods the world, causing technology and everything to be set back thousands of years (reinitialization), all of the god-like beings go into stasis until they are needed to be awakened, and THEN Legends takes place. At least that's my theory. ^_^

a little off topic, my psp has fallen a couple of times and it's fine, there's a nice hefty library of games, and the CDs are encased in a plastic case which you insert into the PSP... unless, of course... you break the encasing of the UMD, most of the time, you can put the case back together and the game works. The PSP is like a gamer's iPod, in my opinion, but yeah, it's a little pricey.

The Robot Masters have their own weapons and special abilities. Megaman, for example, has the Variable Weapons System (and can get Slide or Charge Shot/Slide). But the other robot masters have other abilities... Gutsman can create boulders out of thin air and chuck them with his, Cutman can use his Rolling Cutter to attack and can wall jump, Elecman can activate ElecBlocks and shoot Thunder Beam. IF you want a serious Megaman challenge you can download Capcom's Mania stages, or play their Challenges. And yeah, I know I sound like an advertiser, but the game is so cool... I think Tabby and Ryouko might agree... T_T

And your idea sounds... kind of plausable... as far as fan speculations go, since there's a new title [spoil:911d12cee8]Rockman ZX Advent[/spoil:911d12cee8]

Heres my two cents about where ZX may fit in, I would say it takes place after Zero like most do, but then theres a thought, what if it took place between X & Zero? I highly doubt there would be anything to back it up, but I could say that X created the Biometals to make the gaurdians (hence them having his DNA and the Biometals for their forms).

Now, the Zero series makes no mention to anything like that seeing as ZX was thought of after Zero. Id also like to note that I have yet to complete ZX so I have no clue if they mention the dark elf at all in it. If theres no mention of the dark elf (The end of the dark elf), one could sumise that ZX had a possible starting sometime right after X seals the Dark Elf within him ( They do need protectors when X & Zero are gone) and there seems to be no information on how long between the time X sealed himself and Ciel Awakens Zero actually was. Theres the possibility that the Biometals were around then (Thus explaining the X & Zero Biometals) giving ZX a possible Pre-Zero series slot in the timeline.

One thing that I vaguely remember that may shoot down my timeline was somewhere in ZX was a shady reference to what many believed was Ciel.

EDIT: Also, something may have happened to the Biometals making them not mentioned in Zero (Yes I know Zero series was released before ZX) and the possible explanation to why Zero looks different from his X version (Merged with the Zero Biometal and somehow Fusing X with the X biometal)

Any opinnions on my possible place for ZX? (Please Dont Flame)

How could ZX possibly come before Zero...?

Did you play through Vent's story? Prairie flashes back several times to events that happened during Zero series. There's just no way that ZX could happen before Zero series.

I said that I didnt finish it yet...

As now shown my theory doesnt work, so ZX can only possibly happen after Zero

CFZero.Exe · Posted: Tue Mar 20, 2007 8:24 pm Post subject:

This kind of doesnt count as a double post seeing this is almost a month since the last one.

I was playing X3 and noticed something interesting. In the ending when dopplers fortress is in the background, it says that X knows that in the end he has to destroy Zero. Aparently at the end of Zero 4, its not X that destroys Zero, he dies on his own saving the world (So ive read, I havent played Zero 4). So does that mean that the ending info at the end of X3 is inaccurate or maybe Zero and X come back some time before ZX takes place and Zero is destroyed by X?

Now that I think about it, the only thing that would really matter is Zero's demise, so whether X has to do it or Zero can be destroyed some other way, does it matter?

Doesn't matter, I've heard numerous sources say that bit was added to the US version, much like Mega Man's "I A M M O R E T H A N J U S T A R O B O T D I E W I L Y" bit in MM7.

No clue what they were thinking then.

I've heard it said that the buildup was for them to fight, not necessarily destroy one-another, though with MM games, I guess I can see where such a mistake would be made.

And, they have fought in various ways, various times.
