Well now you're just nitpicking. In link 3, it was said MULTIPLE TIMES that KEIJI INAFUNE, creator of the entire damn series, said it was CONNECTED TO THE TIMELINE!
I'm beginning to think you don't give a damn about evidence and just want to believe this falsehood. I'm done.
EDIT: One last thing. If you've played Legends 2, you'd know who the Elders are. It explicitly states who they are in that game...
This is the real last thing I was thinking about. You claim the third link is HOLY SHIT GUYS LET'S ARGUE ABOUT MEGAMAN CONTINUITY like it's a bad thing. If it is, then why are you doing THE SAME EXACT THING here? Why do I even bother trying to help when the people bitching are massive hypocrites who won't listen to reason from others and have to find it themselves?
