By the way, Blair and Maniac never knew eachother in the Academy. They met for the first time in the bar on the Tiger's Claw. This is the game storyline. It's common practice around here that if the movie\show\books contradict the game, then pick the game for storyline continuity. Therefore, there was no Blair\Maniac academy incident.
Both happened after the credits. You're quibbling over the fact that the transition method used was different - in WC2 they had a smooth transition, whereas in WC3 they used a cut. So, either you accept both or neither.Originally posted by LividLiquid
It happened. At the end of Special Ops 2. The difference is, one was an outtake. The other was included in the game. I don't see how it COULDN'T have happened.

If Academy were to be taken as gospel in the WC series, then Wc2 shouldn't have happened. Blair would have already known about the Strakha, and logged it. I would trust one line in Wc1 over an entire animated series, and a bunch of books. Until Chris Roberts himself tells me otherwise, I'm going with the games. Everything else is just fluff, and franchising.

Stilleto says something to Casey and Maestro about the Academy shortly after they come aboard.

The Academy is referenced quite often in the games -- from WC1 forward, where Blair states he served on the Formidable while at the Academy.

The fighter in WCA was just a Sartha with a sensor-cloak... remember, they could actually see it? The Kilrathi equivalent of Confed's Shroud device (which, we know, was a predescessor to the complete cloak...)
Wha...? You're talking about an invincible fighter here then!!Originally posted by Raptor
Though it did have a major advantage over the Shroud in that it could fire without having to drop its sensor cloak.
