Rockman Series / Re: did Mega Man/Rockman jump the shark?

That's not what jumping the shark is. They were unpopular, not universally panned or stupid or ruined it forever.

Let's see. I've started Canaan and Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou. The latter I'm sure to enjoy (I can't get enough of Junko's rear end), but I have some reservations for the former. I've had a bad relationship with the Girls with Guns genre. Canaan seems to be faring better than Noir and Madlax so far. Hope it stays that way. I'm also impressed with the dub for it. A couple of the VAs are acting out of their comfort zones. And they're doing well.

They touched on this whole Belnades/Fernandez thing, and actually mentioned something I never heard before. This translation issue is more confusing than I thought.
Oh, and I don't remember hearing OoE took place in the year 1800. It's definitely in that century, but I never heard an exact date like that.

Who knows. Only Konami does.
I do. Japanese doesn't have honest to goodness V sounds. What is romanized as a V is really a U where the vocal folds are vibrating more. Sometimes they can force it out, but usually they'll approximate the sound as a B. Sometimes it's written with Bs as well. Vampire Killer, for example, is banpaia kiraa.

Why did they drop the second N, though? That never made sense.

Aren't they the same, just without the accent?
That's another, more literal way to Romanize the name. Keep in mind, the name's Spanish, so it's using that language's phonetics. So V becomes F and S becomes Z in this case.
kana: ヴェルナンデス
romaji: verunandes
On Fernandez: According to the Castlevania Wiki, the proper way to write their last name is actually Vernandes. Not that I actually SEE anyone using that spelling.

They'll get on it eventually. But once the cheaters are taken off, they'll just cheat their way back to the top.

Yep. They get it right on the 64. But then Aria comes around and Yoko's now a Belnades. And the name has stuck since. It shouldn't be correct, but it has become correct. Like the Varia Suit should have just been a Barrier.

I never did understand the link either. What, cause they both have combo meters and fixed cameras?
I'm surprised GT gave all the 3D games fair treatment. They didn't hate on any of them.

Every example in that video I can attribute to either You're Doing it Wrong or You're Doing it on Purpose. After Casino Street boss, for example, he didn't build up nearly enough speed at all. He probably didn't even start running from the middle of the room.
And maybe it's just me, but even in the Genesis days I held forward after a spin dash, or most anything that requires me going forward at all, so the air momentum thing is not a problem to me. Hell, stopping in mid air could actually be very helpful when platforming. You can fall at the precise spot and not worry about overshooting.

I know the point you're talking about, and I did try to roll up it at first. So I instead ran up the left to build speed, then ran up and over the right, never had a problem again. Perhaps trying to roll up was muscle memory from the many halfpipes in Metroid Prime?
