Does anyone have/know where there are scans of that thing? I want to take a crack at translating the character bios (mostly because I heard that Zero was referred to as female there).

And I did try checking replacementdocs. It's acting all screwy right now.

Here you go.

But do even have any knowledge of German language to begin with?

And there are no character bios in the German X1 manual. But there are in the IHX manual, of which I don't have a scanned version.

As for the Zero thing, it's on page 5 of the PDF aka page 7 of the manual, in the last paragraph of the Cain Journal:

Quote
X nimmt diese neue Entwicklung sehr persönlich. Er möchte sich Zero, der neuen Anführerin der Maverick-Jäger, anschließen.

---

X takes these developments very personal. He wants to join Zero, the new leader of the Maverick Hunters.

Anführer is the German word for leader. Anführerin is the female form of that word.

But what does the German MHX say about Zero?

Link doesn't work for me, but that bit was just translated here anyway... :/ And with the German version of the game apparently identifying Zero as male, I have to wonder if the Anführerin bit wasn't just a typo.

Not a whole lot, but I was willing to try.

Quote
Dieser Reploid dient in der derselben Hunter-Einheit 17 wie X. Er gehört zu den wenigen, die das wahre Potential von X erahnen. Zero führt seine Aufträge schnell und präzise aus und hat als Special A Rank-Hunter nur noch Sigma über sich. Die anderen haben kein Verständnis dafür, dass sich Zero über X, einen B-Rank-Hunter, so viele Gedanken macht. Für X, der mit den anderen Huntern nicht besonders gut klar zu kommen scheint, ist Zero der Einzige, dem er wahren Respekt und Vertrauen entgegenbringt.

This Reploid serves in the same Hunter Unit 17 as X. He's amongst the few who can guess at the true potential of X. Zero performs his assignments quickly and precisely and only has Sigma above himself as Special A rank Hunter. The others have no understanding for Zero thinking so much about X, a B rank Hunter. For X, who doesn't seem to get along too well with the other Hunters, Zero is the only one he truely trusts and respects.

it was obviously a translation error if thats what you mean.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

You know,

every time this topic comes up I wonder what MMX would have been like if Zero would be a girl. We'd probably get a lot more doujins, but would the game have been affected by this?

Nope, we would just have another character like Samus...actually that would be better...except that there would be no Iris...or maybe?

If Iris was still female, then the fans would have more excuses to draw lesbian porn.

Because there's no guarantee that it'd be GOOD lesbian porn.

No downsides to this idea then?
Except we all know it would probably end up nothing like Samus and more like "omg X help me Sigma paralyzed me with teh virus"

But Zero is a GIRL...

on THE OTHER SIDE.

It's a real shame he's not really a girl in the games. : P
