[edit] Metal Shark Prayer?
"L" and "R" sounds are written with identical symbols in japanese, so the name could easily be a fan-based mistranslation. Unless there is a source sighted that "Prayer" was an official romanization in Japan at some point, of which I am aware of none, I believe this bit should be deleted. 71.185.116.189 22:24, 21 September 2007 (UTC)Hypershell
[edit] Criticism (level design)
Claiming the level design as subpar is a subjective statement, there are others who appreciate the high difficulty. One could just as easily argue, that the fact that the so-called "impossible" situations carry multiple solutions taking advantage of subtle mechanics indicates a high attention to detail in their design. Therefore, the claim of subpar design has been removed. Also, it was added, another possible recourse while stuck is to use the Start/Select command to return to the title screen, then select the Load Previous Data option, rather than killing yourself. Counter-point as to how this aspect is interpreted by fans was also added, for the sake of balance. Though it is a frequent criticism, it is not an objective flaw. 71.185.116.189 22:24, 21 September 2007 (UTC)Hypershell
[edit] Criticism (story)
A gross error was made here in that Zero never goes into hibernation in X5. He is blown up, shot, and left for dead. Though interviews with Keiji Inafune indicate that the concepts for MegaMan Zero started before X6 did (meaning Zero would have been revived anyway, the question is when), X6 was released first, and it is an incorrect fan-based assumption that the finished MegaMan Zero ignores X6, it does not. The fact that Zero's name is on the door in MegaMan Zero's opening, in addition to the fact that he is protected by a force field, says that he was intentionally sealed and not left for dead as X5 depicts.
The one error X6 does make, in relation to story, regards only timeframe. X6 is 3 weeks from X5 (some argue 4 weeks, 3 weeks pertaining to Gate locating a piece of Zero, but this is not specifically stated in-game), which retcons X's X5 ending, which stated that he fought alone with the Z-Saber for at least 3 years. This bit was moved to criticism and removed from Trivia, since it's needlessly redundant. Info on the misconceptions around X6's place in the storyline was added to Trivia 71.185.116.189 22:24, 21 September 2007 (UTC)Hypershell
