I wonder what X's latest official Hunter rank is?  As late as X6, the guidebook still refers to him as a B-class.  Although I don't have a book for it, I can't imagine him getting promoted in X7.  I have the official Capcom guidebook for X8, and it discusses the in-game player ranking system, but I can't find background-story ranks in the character ( Read more... )

I got the package home, and it was my new (to me -- actually secondhand) Gamecube! Fortunately, the ( Read more... )
