* So, what exactly does being an Operator entail? It can't be just slotting in chips. In the games, it's made clear some operators let their navis battle alone (Viddy Narcy) and that Lan is a superior operator (in 5, Baryl even tells him to operate Colonel because he's that good).

* Hey, remember that Ultimate Navi Buster from BN2? Why didn't Dr. Hikari never work on perfecting it, given that it can kill 3 super strong ninja guards in one hit, imagine the lives it could have saved by using an entire army equipped with them against Alpha, Duo, Nebula Grey or hell even the Cybeasts. Sure there's the whole "Can't let it fall in evil hands argument", but when dealing with Eldritch Abominations capable of destroying the world, I think a few baddies with it is the least of their concerns.

** Maybe Protoman.EXE has a hacked customizer and thus more space for programs? Or maybe anything else, for all we know they know how to operate together instead of merely giving/getting instructions, which places them above over 99% players.

** Yes, Megaman.EXE has a battle chip of his own. It's called "Hub Batch" and it is a giga-class chip in the 6th game.

** I think it's hinted in game that Megaman.exe Grew with Lan, but because he was in the cyberworld then he would be exposed to more information then stimuli, making him the more proper one while Lan is the more reckless one.

**** Alternatively cubed, the Alpha you actually fight is the core program of the old internet and the remaining "Internet" part is merely an extension of itself.
***** I thought Alpha was the consciousness of the old net, kinda like [[DigimonTamers D-reaper]]. Actually exactly like the D-reaper, it was the presence that regulated the expansion and growth of the old frame work.

** On that note, the first three games had more plausible scenarios and were much darker (as in the characters were willing to talk about the concept of death, as there's practically no mention of it during the last three games). This troper believes that the series was originally meant to be a trilogy with the last three games being thrown together after Capcom realized how profitable the series had become. If I remember correctly, Gregar/Falzar's background in 6 pretty much conflicted with Alpha's background in 3 as well.

* Why are there ''so many viruses'' on the Net? Seriously, if you're jacked-in, you're subject to RandomEncounters, even if you're in your own home PC, the major "city" [=PCs=], or the ''kitchen'' PC. Is there no decent virus-protection or firewall software TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture? (ThisTroper has only played the DS version of 5, but assumes that it's the same in other games of the series...)

** This troper thinks that it has to do with the '''Full Synchro''' status effect. When Navi and Operator are acting completely in sync, they become linked in a way. If Navi and Operator also share DNA and mental state...This troper doesn't really know that this is an adequate explanation, but quantum physics posits that if two particles have identical quantum states, they are, in effect, ''the same particle.'' Maybe that applies here?

Adding my two cents.



to:

** I haven't watched the anime, but as far as the game is concerned, I would say that either (1) the chip data takes on the portrait of the user, like Megaman, or (2) the portrait is just something like a generic Normal Navi (which is the case in some chips) and we the player just see it as Megaman instead.

** Mega Man has his own navi chip in ''Battle Chip Challenge'', but there the navi chips allow the player to switch between available playable characters instead of summoning navis.

* Why do so many battlechips have Mega Man on them? Is that the default appearance of the chips or does it change depending on the navi? Speaking of which does Mega Man have a navi chip of his own?

** Well, all of them work as teachers here, and thus, they might have their own ID card. Mr. Match is [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor already a good guy these days]], nobody knows that [[spoiler:Mach]] is a terrorist until the endgame, and Dark Scythe is probably a good enough assassin to convince everyone to give him the teacher's ID card. The next question will be what Dark Scythe is supposed to be teaching, or who he's supposed to kill.

** In the anime, the wheels of his skates are either retractable into his shoes or attached on separately (been a while since I've watched it, can't remember which one exactly). That doesn't explain how he doesn't leave marks all over the place, but that's why he isn't in trouble for having them at school.

** I probably missed something - I assumed that like most other fatal alleles, it's dual-recessive, whereas Lan was heterozygous and thus has a Ff alignment (According to basic genetics) whereas Hub had ff.

** They can't have different genotypes if they're identical twins. However the disease may be something that isn't completely genetic. It may be that they both had the gene, but it was only triggered in Hub for some reason. Perhaps there was in unequal distribution of nutrients while there were in the womb, or the development of one was affected by the other.

* So I don't know if this was just the early art, but Lan is wearing rollerskates. It shows in his running animation because he is obviously roller-skating. Shouldn't he have gotten in trouble for wearing roller skates in school and in home because he'll leave "trails" on the floor? (Trust me, they don't just clutter up the floor)

**Actually, isn't that whole computer you fight it in Alpha?...you know, the one the size of a freaking room...and the floor is all red goo textured, so I think the body shape you shoot at is Alpha just rising up part of itsself out of the floor soas to hit you better...(Why he doesnt just pop out of the floor like in the tanks and eat you is beyond me though...)



***Perhaps if shocking is a punishment Zap perhaps has a electroshock fetish, and thus they couldn't do this with him...but then again...its also possible Match has a burning fetish...wait, they wouldn't do it THAT intensely if its not an outright electrocution death sentence...



***Perhaps after they sealed Alpha, the new internet was also quite buggy...but not so much it became sentient and tried to kill everyone...instead all the bugs sort of clustered and then the BUGS tried to kill everyone...really, bugs are errors though, I doubt they would make an effective fighting force anyway...



***And its possible Lan isn't going on those kinds of sites...wait, porn often has viruses...perhaps they keep unintentionally deleting it all? [[CrowningMomentofFunny and I do like the concept of him actively removing any he finds...]]

***Perhaps he just botched the programming for their aim...?

***In the second game, early on, one of the appliances in your house says that "Your mom already ran a virus scan on it" if you try to jack in too soon...(which is really just to keep you from entering the area before they want you to...but, at least it makes some sense)

Added DiffLines:

** Well, it's most likely a difference in systems. It probably would not have mattered what one you used from a computer, because if alpha is goo like in the regular net then it probably means that they streamlined the current net, making it faster and thus alpha appears like goo in comparison because it's slower than the regular net. When it is an actual place, and not diving it's self up for the larger net, then it is a place, but because it's in a place both larger, faster, and more diverse then it appears as a large, utilitarian pile of goo.
