Topic: Megamission translation

[Zan]

Also using google's magic, I found this a few weeks ago:

http://asadori.blogspot.com/search/label/Megamission%201

The translation was done by "Asadori", the card where X (Ikusu) is introduced is missing and it doesn't seem to be that good of a translation. Still, along with Rockman Tanjou's translation of the manga, it helps with the understanding of Megamission.

Because the above site suffers from occasional automatic redirects, I'm quoting the translation here:

[Rodrigo Shin]

A note on "Ikusu". They use these very same katakanas to name X's EX Armor and Zero's EX Armor.

So I guess you could chalk it up to him being named "EX" before "Return X" anyway.

[The Great Gonzo]

I remember this. (On a side note, I'm a friend of Asadori's.  )

[Flame]

well, wasnt he first, Ikksu, and then Return Ikksu?

[Rodrigo Shin]

Far as I remember he comes back toting himself as "Return X", which I've seen many times shortened to "RX". Probably because he wants to be as cool as a child of the sun. Give it up, you freakin' pallete swap.

[Cyberpunk]

Aww, but I liked RX! He wasn't just a pallete swap, he was the Forte of the RMX series. I think he should have been given an actual part. Terra's forever-unfinished comic, at www.stardroids.net, put a much-needed spin on the character.

[Rodrigo Shin]

OK, "are they still on Namek" meme beaten to the punch.

Now it's officially "are they still on the repairing bed?".

[Protodude]

Terra's forever-unfinished comic, at www.stardroids.net, put a much-needed spin on the character.

Ahh yes, that's a classic one.

Great find Zan!

[Flame]

Yknow, I actually Met Terra SD IRL. at the NYC Inafune event, the 20th anni8versary thing at Gamestop on broadway and 30something. she was right behind me. she was drawing and I recognized her artstyle. I was like, OMFG. TERRA STARDROID o.o !!

[Syl]

Very nice find.

[Flame]

Syl, I dig your Avatar soo much.

[Syl]

Haha... Why thank you, sir.

[Protoman Blues]

Well, it is an avatar featuring the greatest character in all of the MM universe.   

[Align]

It's just missing that cartoon network sound effect. PSHING!

[Gotham Ranger]

Excuse the necropost. I had a brain fart when I noticed this topic about ten minutes after finding Asadori's site on google

Anyways, I'm trying to get whatever I can out of the MegaMissions cards. Namely armor names, weapons, and such. Have you found anything else, Zan?

Also, on the subject of Return X, who I adore, how is the X pronounced on his revived form? Still the same as Ikusu?

A note on "Ikusu". They use these very same katakanas to name X's EX Armor and Zero's EX Armor.

So I guess you could chalk it up to him being named "EX" before "Return X" anyway.

Ikusu Armor?

[Rodrigo Shin]

Also, on the subject of Return X, who I adore, how is the X pronounced on his revived form? Still the same as Ikusu?

The have the katakanas for "IKUSU" instead of "EKKUSU" in his Return X form too (リターン イクス), yes.

Ikusu Armor?

You see, even if it's the very same katakana the way they romanize X's-evil-Limited-clone in the toy manuals is... "X". Exactly that. Quotes included. To differ between "EX" and X proper, they always call X "Rockman X" then. But why they're romanizing the same katakana differently, don't ask me.

[Gotham Ranger]

But what about the actual cards?

Also, does that mean I've also been saying the All X (Ekkusu) armor wrong, too? (All Ikusu Armor)

[Rodrigo Shin]

But what about the actual cards?

When "Ikusu"'s name is romanized in the cards, it also says X. But then they have the katakanas together. So you basically have "X -エックス- vs. X - イクス-" as the name of one of the cards even.

Also, does that mean I've also been saying the All X (Ekkusu) armor wrong, too? (All Ikusu Armor)

I don't think it's wrong since it's what they romanized it as. But I really don't know why they're riding with "イクス" most of the times standing for X, and others for "EX".

[Gotham Ranger]

Those silly japanese making everything complicated.

I know I've also seen iX written as -X- to differentiate him from X.

At least as fr as names are concerned there are some errors in these summaries - EX Armors appear only in Mega Mission 3 (and upon closer inspection in the back of the cards proper they're called X Armors and they apparently are derived from RX as well), in MM2 the armor has 3 different armor names, the final being Giga when the armor's transferred to X.

[Flame]

iX, Ikksu, Irregular X, al = "X" with different writing. Ikksu, =/= Ekksu (Rockman X)
hence his name is actually also X. to the english reader there is no difference. to the japanese reader, they clearly see the difference, as if I spelled Flame as Fleym.
also, RX is Return Ikksu. cuz he's, well, Ikksu returned. >_>;

Fer serious? Yowza. Good thing nothing remotely close to that was said in the thread!

Point was that the toys romanized イクス as EX for the armors.

[Flame]

Yeah, well since there is that whole X-X thing, he is often called iX. cuz well, thats technically how we the english reader should pronounce his name. we pronounce X as ekks, and he is Ekksu and if X is ikksu, we should pronounce it ikks. hence, iX (though its also to differentiate the names. It is often misassumed that the i means "irregular" X, which is not the case.) , almost always. the armor kits did similar and said EX. Some of them also say "All X armor", no? that means All Ikksu armor. I assume they wanted to avoid confusion

[Align]

Maybe we should call him Eks.
