If you look on ja.wikipedia.org and translate it, it is revealed that Wolf has encountered James McCloud in his tenure, Fox McCloud\'s mom is alive yet estranged from him, and a lot more mind-bending canon that didn\'t reach the west. It\'s mostly sourced from AllThereInTheManual and WordOfGod from the Japanese equivalent to Magazine/NintendoPower. Should examples be based on this or should it all just go under Trivia?

Which is why I cited a source for my claims, because pop culture is leaning so heavily in the direction of \\\"arrows can pierce tank armor\\\" I sound absurd claiming early modern plate could stop them. But it could. Indeed, we have contemporary accounts from the battle of poitiers (a middle age era battle) saying the English arrows were *already* utterly ineffective against fully kitted French knights, and the English could only stop the French charge by taking out the less armored horses they rode on (Froissart\\\'s Chronicles, http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/basis/froissart-full.asp). This only gets worse for arrows as metallurgy improved, and decent-quality steel goes from being rare and expensive to cheap and plentiful after the proliferation of blast furnaces in Europe post 1500.
