I decided to check the Megaman Battle Network profiles, and they are... Weird.
The main thing I want to ask about is why, on the profiles, the manga is considered canon to the games or anime? I've played the games, read the manga and had a comic about it (It isn't exactly a comicbook as it's usually talked to in english, but I don't know the english word for it), and the three of them heavily contradict each other story and character-wise. Want to see some examples of said contradictions?
I'm also confused by the ratings. The only reason I've seen for Megaman.EXE to be Solar System is him beating Geo Stelar easily, who is Solar System level. All his other relevant feats are Universal+ to Low Multiversal. Even if we take into account that Megaman.EXE canonically and consistently varies in power level depending on how emotionally motivated he is to do something and how seriously a given situation is taken, we would scale him as unquantifiably below Universal+ to Low Multiversal or some other feat we might have, not Solar System level. It isn't impossible for someone who is unquantifiably weaker than Universal+ to Low Multiversal to defeat a Solar System level being with ease.
I don't think I expressed myself clearly, but the ratings also do not make sense.
Am I missing something?

- In the games, Megaman.EXE and Lan only reach Synchronicity by Megaman Battle Network 4, and only encountering the concept in Battle Network 3. In tha manga, right at the beginning of the manga, in the early Megaman Battle Network 1 story, they reach Full Synchro, and not only that, but a variety that brings the Netnavi to the real world, not the contrary, which is introduced even later in the game series! Not only that, but the circumstances were nothing alike, with game Lan reaching it after meeting people actively using it and reaching a state of understanding with Megaman. In the anime, a police officer locked Lan up in a cell, and put him on a life and death situation to force him engage in Full Synchro.
- The characters are completely different too, as is the plot. Game Lan is a bit immature and lacks discipline, but he is a pleasant kid who tries his best, is actively heroic and good-humoured. Manga Lan is very mischievous and is careless to the point of causing lethal accidents without remorse, although he does recognize his mistakes later. The plot is really nothing alike. Really, read the first few chapters of Battle Network manga and the game. The very beginning is similar enough, right up to the battle with Fireman, but even then we see some differences, with game Megaman merely defeating and banishing Fireman, and manga Megaman outright deleting it. After that, things really are nothing alike, with the manga having a character that doesn't exist in the games playing a central part on a early arc.
