Line 1:
{{work}}
* After the fight with Hallow in the 2nd game, Solo appears and transforms in front of you (and is knocked out of his wave change after the fight) and Hyde just stands there unchanged, how exactly are they standing on the wave road before he transforms?
** Hyde is a guy made of Matter Waves, so it makes perfect sense for him. I don't know about Solo, though.
*** ? When was that stated? The third game?
Line 22:
*** Actually, that list and the hair would make her a Zero [[Expy]].
** [[Power Dyes Your Hair]]. Sonia's brightens, Geo's darkens. Do we ask why Super Saiyans get blonde? No. Move along.
* The behind the back viewpoint in battles bugs the hell out of me. Whoever thought the game would be more fun if you could only take one step to the left or right rather than having a proper grid to yourself should be beaten with a sack of quarters.
** Worse Still are the [[Killer Eye]] type chips that are COMPLETELY unavoidable because of that.
** The game is meant to be more fast paced with the back view. The wierd thing is why you can only move left or right
* WHERE THE HELL IS PAT? Geo was so caught up with him, I was really disappointed when he didn't show up in 2, and now not even in 3?
** What's funny is that in 2 the game even acknowledges that they have plot points to wrap up regarding him, and then in 3 Luna apparently flat out states that he's "gone". A shame. Gemini Spark was quite fun to battle against, plus it would be hilarious if he was the [[Gay Option]] in the dating sim-esque bit in [[SF 3]]SF3.
*** Gemini Spark was probably the enemy I liked more to fight against. Well, let's just hope 3 isn't really the last game.
* Why is everything wired for radio signals in ''Mega Man Star Force''? It's fairly common knowledge that radio waves are notoriously unreliable as far as any sort of internet communications go, what with their extreme vulnerability to interference and whatnot. If I remember correctly, there's at least a few wireless internet communications that's faster and more reliable than those based on radio or even microwaves, so why the backpedaling?
** I suspect that like how Battle Network cashed in on the "Internet Craze", Star Force was created to cash in on the "Cellular Phone Craze", but got hit by [[Executive Meddling]] or something somewhere along the way that prevented them from using Super Cellphones instead of Super Radios.
** All wireless standards for more than just a room are radio-based. Let's look at the EM spectrum. Anything beyond visible light (and maybe UV), you can toss out, thanks to health hazards. Infra-red, visible light (and UV), are halted quite easily by just about any surface that isn't transparent, not to mention hard to get any real distance without a focused beam. Below that, what's left? The various forms of Radio and Microwave. Even MW typically needs to be a focused transmission in order to get any range.
Line 60:
** Actually the one he gave Geo was a prototype, not a copy. And only two of those programs were made, meaning it was probably difficlt to create.
** Both the Ace and Joker programs were made from materials Ace stole from Dealer when he ditched. Two of a kind, and Ace really isn't likely to go asking for some more.
* In 3 Mega notes the only female EM being he knows is Lyra. Ignoring the [[Idiot Ball]] of forgetting someone he met less than an hour ago, what about that one that fused with Luna in the first game?
** Whoever said that Ouphica was female? Maybe there was a ''reason'' Mega was refusing her advances.
*** [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|Queen]] Ophiuca. Subtle.
Line 67:
* How exactly did Rogue acquire the Noise powers he has as a [[Bonus Boss]] in 3?
** The Official site describes the bracelet he wears on his arm as a Darklight Harvester, and that Darklight is a force more powerful and deadly than your run-of-the-mill electrophlebotinum that everyone else uses. My guess is that Darklight is the Murian term for Noise.
* How come there aren't Illegal Data cards in [[SF 3]]SF3 for Hollow, Kung Foo Kidd, or Harp Note?
** [[Fridge Brilliance]] because Hollow was only a matter wave not a EM being, Harp Note and Kung Foo Kidd was never deleted.
* Why is it that [[Dude, Where's My Respect?|no officials actually respect Geo]] in the third game? That kid is an ''expert'' in Wave battling compared to them (and hell, he did it ''before'' them), and certainly should get more then a "let's test him and see how good he is".
Line 74:
*** 9, counting Transmission.
** That's more an adult not wanting to depend on a child for saving them kind of thing.
* So at the end of Star Force 2, in the credits, we see a bunch of stone slabs showing everything Mega Man did in the game, including his battle with Mu'd god, Le Mu. Because they were apparently foretold. If this is the case, why don't Solo or the people of Whazzap acknowledge Mega Man, who looks exactly like the person in the pictures? Or was the whole stone just an early [[Fanfic]]?
** Most likely it wasn't actually anything important, and was probably just cool imagery. Like in the first game, where you get to see the outlines of the bosses in their constellations, and in the third with the little photographs. Granted, those were most likely canon, but then again, there were a lot of things wrong with the second game...
** Eye candy, if not prophetic ancestors. If prophetic ancestors, one, Rogue is a Murian, but not necessarily all that aware of his own history. The destruction of his race has to be explained to him, remember? And the Whazzapians know way less than he does, and all they've got are pictures in the sand, besides, no Mega Man pictures.
Line 81:
*** I tend to go with the anime's take when it comes to things like this. Geo's a human. Mega (and the other EM beings/viruses/Navis) are all invisible. Mega Man, while he's still Electromagnetic, also has enough human in him to be visible. When he and other Wave Changers are close enough in proximity, it's easier to see the Radio World around them. So, Mega Man is perfectly visible to everyone else as Mega Man. I tend to take his scene in the play as him actually showing up as Mega Man (while Luna is the only one who really reacts, she's probably the only one paying enough attention to - Bud's probably suffocating in his own outfit, after all - just LOOK at that thing), which is why they're playing the Hero theme when he does. Geo simply orchestrated the light switch-off to be just long enough for him to release the Wave Change back to his original, crappy costume.
* Why is the BN Blaster a rapid fire weapon? Don't get me wrong, I love using it, but did anyone who was playing Battle Network actually prioritize Rapid? I mean, Attack or Charge level 5 would make more sense. Hell, if we're going to be realistic most people generally either max their buster's stats, or keep everything at roughly the same level.
** Here's some advice, in the words of [http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/TomahawkMan.EXE this guy] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130731194430/http://www.mangahere.com/manga/megaman_nt_warrior/v09/c005/ stop complaning].
** I think you missed the point of the Just Bugs Me trope.
** Simple really, if you did play BN then you know the basic mega buster takes forever to charge and didn't do a lot of damagae but did fire off in a constant rate. So they just took the only thing it does not that slowly (Rapid Fire) and based the weapon on that
