At what point did we imply that Yoshikawa shares the same objections we do to his own work? You're stating the obvious.
Let me do the same: We believe he was wrong.
Height and width are two different things (see X3's character-change screen).
But NOT making them the same height. that just makes them look retarded.
Its all about "oh its pretty complicated, so lets make the horns the same height so its easier to model"
God damn- couldnt resist, but it's true XDThough the helmet thing bothers me almost more because it was not born out of some artistic preference or redesign like X8, but simply because it would be easier to model? Really? THATS the reason? Its VERY, well, pardon my saying so, stupid.
(I aint makin' it up folks, check the concept art for MHX Zero in Complete works. It shows Zero 1's head with his helmet proper, and has notes detailing how if it's design for the game is streamlined more, it would allow them to use less polygons on the model, which also shows laziness on their part. ANd lets face it, MHX had pretty bad models for a PSP game. especially one that isnt exactly big as opposed to say, Monster hunter, which ive seen mentioned. or even Powered up.)
MHX also butchered Zero's theme. Its almost as if they were trying to make it sound like the Zero series version.
X1 Zero's sprite had no booblights. I dont recall them removing them from his design because of it.
Its not uncommon for the in game sprites or models to not fully match certain details in artwork.
We grew up with classics like Mega Man 2 and Mega Man X.
They've been making games lately like Mega Man ZX and Starforce.
I know Capcom isn't know for their consistency but making a game in between X6 and X7 will cause a ton of plotholes. I could see threads all over the place with complaints.
Honestly, I wouldn't be so worried. As long as the likes of Inti Creates is still around, there will always be at least ONE main venue of how to get some decent Rockman experiences. Plus, as has been said a couple of times over this topic, until relatively recently (MM9), Inafune hadn't been a part of the day to day proceedings of Rockman in some years. And while we did get a few questionable games during that time, we still did get a number of decent, if not some of the best Rockman games ever made without too much in the way of his input at all (re: Zero series).
I thought most MMX fans saw "going Maverick/going Irregular" the same way and just used whichever term they preferred?
Also thought interpretation of similar terms was the least of anyone's MMX-fan-related problems. :/
As far as the label Irregular or Maverick goes, I don't think it really ever applied solely to those who malfunction or are infected. Take Repliforce for example.
I must disagree. While you could potentially argue against Cyber Mission/Soul Eraser armors as Light tweaking the old parts (although I do not condone defining an armor by appearance rather than ability), Alia's recreation in X5 is by definition a separate piece of work from the original. Her armor is a lie.
In all fairness, Vile's presence lends a lot of credit to that. And then of course there is Sigma, since virus or no virus he remains the cause of it all. One way or the other, the New Gens are bragging about something that first-generation Reploids did. They simply have a higher occurance of it.
First of all, the fact that any Reploid, ever, has been deliberately created as an Irregular makes that statement outright false. There are organized, self-aware Irregulars/Mavericks and there are random, incoherent Irregulars/Mavericks. The terms MUST encompass both scenarios, not one or the other.
by using the word "can't" and presenting your point as an absolute. By stating that it is not physically possible for one to choose to be Irregular (this incidentally makes Weil's taunting Zero in Z4 meaningless), one simply echoes the same debate that exists about humanity. The sentient being is seen as inherently good unless "flawed", by blueprint or by experience, resulting in evil.
not to mention it makes somewhat more sense in terms of etymology than the original term (the "4th Armor" is actually the 5th of the main-series, and 7th including side-games).
Alright, here's what I don't get: When did this happen? When did the fanbase allege that Mavericks are automatically free-willed? The Sigma Virus has been in the in-game spotlight ever since X3.
This is my main issue with your argument: You're taking the (exceedingly loose) literal implications of the term itself as overriding the abundantly clear context established within the games, both original and localized versions. I have not seen this approach as being NEARLY as typical of the fanbase as you suggest. Never have I seen the MegaMan fan who did not believe that Maverick behavior resulted from technical flaws such as viral infection; quite the opposite, I recall more than a few who outright refused to accept X8's statement that Sigma went Maverick of his own accord.
I thought names had a factor in sales?
You're arguing the history of the terms, but their actual definitions and timeframes are unaltered.
Cain's coining of that term originates in the U.S. (Cain's journal), later adopted by Japan with altered dates. As such, "Maverick" is actually the original term in that context. That actually serves to damage your point more than it does help it.
It's not that surprising as rather frequently the cause of Maverick behavior, or Irregularity, is unclear; even in Command Mission which is chronologically the latest entry of the X-series. The context of the term was never as misleading as you're presenting. In fact, quite the opposite, Maverick behavior against one's free will is frequently considered both by fans and in-game characters alike to be the norm. Recall, if you will, that a great deal of X8's plot in addition to fan-based debates thereof center around that fact.
But there are in the IHX manual, of which I don't have a scanned version.
In defense of that, the name pun wouldn't make any sense until MM3 at best (and that's assuming you paid attention to the end credits).
I think the Japanese side of things has its own fair share of weird terminology, so it doesn't really bother me either way.
What does bug me is the constant arguing of "CoA is stupid, everything should use the Japanese names because they aren't stupid."
Perhaps if I want to use the Japanese names for everything, I'll move to Japan and start speaking Japanese instead.
It is what it is. The localization is consistent across all entries into Legends (both L1 and L2), so it falls into the same category as any other name change.
"Maverick" and "Irregular" ARE synonymous.
If I am ever to do more Ace Attorney-to-MegaMan edits, I will probably be trying to include other characters.
NxC is about as canon as Super Smash Bros.
However, we must ask, does the name in DASH refer to their purpose, or to merely their form?
"Beta"
Both, actually, but I don't have a sprite of Iris slamming her desk.
That is an exceptionally selective bit of logic which could *EASILY* be turned around. You claim forgoing numbered sequels justifies forsaking the protagonists so long as it otherwise retains series staples. MegaMan X Command Mission did the complete opposite.
Irrelevant, it is still the ZX series.
ZX Advent is not a "short deviation". It is literally half the series at this point, as it has been for the last 3 years. Your entire argument is based on the premise that Advent is a side game, but that distinction cannot be made when the series has no numbered sequels to distinguish Advent from in the first place. Your position is based solely on a hypothetical scenario.
And if Axl and Zero appear more interesting it's because they have more of a story to tell. Even in those X-series games which feature no other playable characters, we don't really learn much about X. Hell, it'd be fairly easy to argue that we've received greater insight into X's character from those games which featured multiple player characters.
There is no certainty that the term Decoy is meant to be taken that literally.
Blackhook, I was hoping to come up with a question as I objected. I failed to do so.
that is why I stated the Carbons as such and not 'Humans'.
My point: I do not consider one A-Trans among 12 others to be adequate purpose.
During Advent, Vent/Aile are still MegaMan Model ZX. And as I already stated earlier, I am aware that any other Chosen One *COULD* assume that title, but the fact remains that nobody else actually did.
X *could* jump onto the field in the beginning of X7. He *didn't*. The issue is what is, not what may be.
The second game is not "Rockman Advent", it is "Rockman ZX Advent". Whether or not the game is titled "ZX 2" is irrelevant; no matter what you call it, it is the second game of the ZX series. And it was always advertised as that.
