Hi, I'm following your recent edit on Mega Man X8 pages and found out a conflict about Axl's White Armor. In Mega Man X8's Armor section page, you mention that the White Armor reduce his damage taken by 50%, but in the White Armor page, it is 50% boost in attack power?

Btw, I've done some check on character's defensive power, recording the damage taken from a same attack on each character, and here is the record:

-All test is done in Hard Mode, all characters has no Chip equippped, damage is done from Panda Pandemonium's Overdrive attack:

+Neutral Armor with Icarus Body part equipped\Ultimate Armor: 8 damage +Alia/Normal X/Zero/Layer/Neutral Armor with Hermes Body part equipped: 16 damage +Axl/ White Axl/ Pallete/Black Zero: 24 damage

With Shield Armor equipped: +Alia/Normal X/Zero/Layer: 12 damage +Axl/ White Axl/ Pallete/Black Zero: 20 damage

It seems that each character has different defense level, which determine how many damage they take. So the Black Armor doesn't simply halves Zero defense, it just put him into the same defense as Axl/Pallete.

Anyway, I hope to hear your opinion about this. Does the Japanese wiki mention anything about the armor's effect?
