Logic pertaining to Endings A and S
OK, so y'all know that Capcom says that both endings S and A are Canon, right? Sorry, no way that happens. Let's look at each ending separately:

Ending S: Chuck completes all cases, gives TK Zombrex, and defeats Sullivan in THE FACTS. This ending unlocks Overtime mode, beginning at 2am and ending at 10am. After Chuck grabs a whole plethora of items from all around Fortune City, he beats TK, and throws him to his death. Chuck then reels Stacey and Katey up to the surface of TK's stage or whatever it is, unties them, and they supposedly leave Fortune City. Why do I use the term "Supposedly"? Because as they walk off of TK's stage, the last thing we see is a jump-scare. We don't know if they took a helicopter away from Fortune City, or if they left in an Army Car that still somehow works, or even if they left at all, because for all we know, they were killed trying to get out. Also, Endiing S does not lead into Case West, see more below.

Ending A: Chuck completes all cases, defeats Sullivan in THE FACTS, but doesn't give TK Zombrex. This ending leads into Case West. When Chuck goes to get Katey's backpack, he gets grappled by a zombified TK, tosses Katey's backpack to Stacey, and tells them to leave Fortune City. Stacey and Katey take off in a helicopter, leaving Chuck to the fight for his life, until Frank West shows up, saves Chuck's life, and takes Chuck to a Phenotrans facility, which starts Case West. We don't know what happened to Fortune City, but there's a good chance it was firebombed.

So there you have it. It's either ending S or ending A that's Canon, not both. I give it a 35% chance that Ending S is Canon, and a 65% chance that Ending A is Canon. But both are Not Canon. It's one or the other.

I hope that someone from Capcom reads this, and understands that two endings cannot be Canon, it's one or the other.

Well to be fair, since PC and PS3 users can't play Case West, it's only logical that ending S would be considered canon, at least for these two platforms if that makes any sense...

Ending A makes no sense as there was both zombie TK and other zombies but in Case West it was just zombie TK.

I consider Off The Record canon anyway so it doesn’t really matter to me.

Unless they become Bethesda, in which case Warp in the West.

Huh? What is Bethesda and Warp in the West?
