You note the changes. Compare the two continuities, note what's different, and move on.A rather nondescript response; that can be said of both our mentalities.
I was referring to fan translations.And water is wet.
Only if substantial changes are made. It's easier to refer to it as a separate continuity, rather than try to shoehorn one into the other."Easier" is a point of view. It's easier in the context of a single game or event, but substantially more difficult in the context of the ongoing continuity of the saga. The difficulty by which this "separate continuity" is cemented is directly proportional to how often the original continuity cross-references itself. The more often it does so, the more likely the derivative continuity is to contradict itself.
It'd just be more of the same, albeit with the addition of my breaking down and hurling obscenities everywhere. >.>That position was already taken by Most Excellent Superbat.
Although the book doesn't define their gender, their designs suggest to me that they're male. The female Resistance members, even the soldiers, were always seen wearing either a skirt or a dress.Point taken. I just see them as looking more effeminate than Zero, who is usually the benchmark in these cases. On the other hand, Elpizo probably has all of them beat.
That's all his character is there for, to tell us a perspective that pretty much ALL fans of Godzilla already know, therefore making his character useless.His role is minimal because he is being added to the existing story rather than writing a fully original story. But my point is, it is still new content, as opposed to translated content.
Well, no one ever said it was well-written. >.>It's barely "written" at all. There are no "U.S. continuity writers". There are the story writers, in Japan, and there's the localization teams elsewhere, who occasionally take a creative liberty. To them it's inconsequential; probably they even believe they're adding a subtle improvement (brotherly robots touching the audience's hearts; reiterating the franchise name more often to drive home the roots of the game). But they don't do that with respect to continuity across the entire saga. Tweaking the same story in localization, which is what MegaMan is, is not the same thing as a total rewrite featuring a new scenario (such as the case with "Raymond Burr" Godzilla, Power Rangers, etc.). The only instance in which I'd accept "U.S. continuity" is when the change is both intentional and consistent, such as name changes, and whatever side-effects they so induce, such as the case in DASH/Legends 2 with the origin of Volnutt's name. Localization is a derivative work, but not a derivative continuity. The original will always take precedence in continuity.
Except most of us can't friggin' read it, and have to rely on fan translations which may or may not be influenced by the translator.
I was told that there's no difference between US and EU continuities.Using your logic, untrue. If you accept the presupposition that there are different Japan and US continuities, then there are most certainly different US and EU continuities.
Which sprites are you looking at? In Super, the Power Suit's shoulders are triangular, where they're perfect spheres in Other M.I believe he's referring to the fact that Super Metroid (unlike, say, Zero Mission) only differentiates the change in armor appearance for screen-facing sprites, so the Power Suit appears to have rounded shoulders in profile view even though it clearly does not when forward-facing or in the status screen. I consider that developer negligence, not design.
Whenever Capcom tries something new, they drop it right after.I think to a lesser degree ZX/Advent can fit into that as well.
Quite a bit, actually."U.S. continuity", in that context, is by definition a chapter-by-chapter derivative work. It is written piece-by-piece with frequent disregard to the whole (Wily as Light's assistant is the exception, not the rule). It already outright contradicts itself in many locations, and it is especially infamous that game manuals/boxes from X5 and beyond frequently contradict their own in-game U.S. localizations. X5, X7, XCM, Xtreme2, and Legends 2 come to mind just off the top of my head. PU also contradicts MM4.
I'd think that the fans would want RS-MM/the entire US game continuity stricken from canon despite not interfering with it in any way. But I'm just bitter. >.>Extremely bitter.
If you expend all of the Treble Boost's energy, you get access to the Mega Buster. It's the same in all aspects, although you can't fire it while dashing.Treble Boost is awesome; I would never in my right mind sacrifice it to play as dash-capable Rock (doesn't work as a slide; Bass has no hitbox height reduction).
