except they're not really outside help, at all actually.

Mega Man just upon Rush and combined with him to form the Super Adapter, because Rush did not do anything else, his presence in the fight is only to aid Mega Man's transformation, and not interfere with the fight.

And Jarvis is specifically programmed in Tony's suits, and technologically, Jarvis exists through the armor and is not a separate being, since he doesn't actually physically exist.

Plus Ben Singer has gone on record saying the Outside Help rule was never intended to be a core rule of the series, and was only ever used in Link vs. Cloud since Link and Cloud both benefit from the aid of other physical beings, and because they are seperate beings that exist on their own accord, they are identified as outside help.

This rule can't apply to every single fight, because there are characters such as Lucy Heartfilia, Yuna and Ash Ketchum who summon their companions into battle, the outside help rule does not always apply, and honestly, calling Jarvis and Rush as outside help is honestly not true
