History YMMV / LegacyOfMetal

* FandomSpecificPlot: The recurring ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' story of Cain's final case rears its head.

** [[spoiler: Vanessa's]] death.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Many.
** Given the latter's eventual track record, Rock fighting Zero to defeat is definitely this.
** Any of X's {{Curbstomp Battle}}s, but especially [[SingleStrokeBattle one-shotting]] Vile with the Hadouken.
** Zero apparently went through the entirety of ''X5'' [[GameBreakingInjury with just one arm]] and no chance to rest.
** But Blues gets the big one - in the verse, teleportation is incredibly dangerous to humans. Which means that in the ''Mega Man 4'' endgame, he could not merely warp in with Kalinka in tow. No, he rescues Kalinka - a small, helpless child - and keeps them both alive on a weeks-long journey through the wilderness with Wily's forces pursuing all the while. He succeeds just in time to stop Mega Man and Dr. Cossack from killing each other. BigDamnHeroes indeed! The best part of it all is just how understated it is in his narration - Rock is utterly in awe of the feat, but Blues just glazes over it.
** RD-224 sacrificing himself to save the world.

* CompleteMonster: Former Vice President Dran Grevis. [[spoiler:Wily: "He tried to kill us years ago...he killed Schroeder instead. Now, he nearly killed you just so I would make him ''more'' damned war robots. He won't stop, Tom. He's never stopped. It's been twelve Goddamn years, and he still insists on spreading misery and pain."]]
** Wily, [[FallenHero tragically]], becomes this.

* MotiveDecay: By the end of his life, Wily doesn't care about anything but beating Mega Man. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] by his worsening brain damage due to constant use of warp and cloaking devices.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: ''Shadows of a Hunter'' suggests some epic action sequences throughout its summary of ''X5''; sadly none of them get much in the way of detail.
