If Mega Man and X dueled, who would win?
This question has no correct answer. There are too many factors involved which do not allow a conclusive decision. For example, X begins his games pitifully weak, with almost half Mega Man’s number of units in his energy meter and no defense to speak of. (In the game manuals he’s also said to be a relatively poor Maverick Hunter due to his aversion to violence.) However if X gathers all of the enhancements in a game, he usually more than makes up for his bad start. But of course Mega Man has his own enhancements, and also the ability to carry more energy refills on board (9 full refills versus 4). So the outcome of the battle may well just depend on when and where the two met, and who had what equipment at the time. Yet even beyond all of this, keep in mind that better equipment doesn’t necessarily mean a definite victory. There are other factors which can have as much or more of an impact, such as experience, will, drive, and just plain dumb luck.
