Well, as you can probably guess by the overly predictive story format (and the fact you know the cruel, horrible ending to it all), MegaMan found not even a trace of an invited Brawler no matter what location he visited.

From the top of the chilliest mountains...

To the deepest depths of eggplant-infested hell...

It seemed that despite his greatest efforts, MegaMan had been forsaken. Left on the bench. Forgotten like a lost toy. Not on the list. A hero of his time, now alone in his quest and with no rewards for the taking.

Even those who he crossed in his long journey offered no help, no clues, no attitude.

Well one offered something, but it wasn't really what he wanted.

But why was he left in the dust? Surely there was no robot more loveable than MegaMan!

Perhaps most depressing of all though, was that Solid Snake, who for so long had been sleeping with the enemy nation, the Republic of Sony, and Sonic, whose homeland of Segaland had always been at war with Nintendopia (actually I forgot what I originally had dubbed it) until Segaland's unfortunate incident of sinking into the ocean, both were allowed into the roster. That was a really long sentence.

So you would suppose MegaMan gained nothing from this large ordeal except a couple sad vacation photos. And that's pretty much the truth. Fortunately, MegaMan would make his return in a big way not long after the Brawl Tournament, including a vastly superior 1 player experience to boot.
