Talk:Mega Man (character)

message: The article said: In the English-speaking world, Mega Man's popularity and color scheme have resulted in him earning the nickname, "Blue Bomber" (which also went on to be used in game in Mega Man Powered Up).
There is nothing that supports or proves that anybody calls him the Blue Bomber, so I have changed it to: In parts of the English speaking world, a small few have renamed Mega Man t "The Blue Bomber" because of his blue armor.
As for why I made the change, the only two times I've ever heard him called this is when someone called him that and directed me here because this is where they first learned of the name, and the article itself. Megaman is becoming known as the Blue Bomber, but only because someone put that in this article in the first place. There is no attributable source saying that Megaman is called the Blue Bomber on a wide scale. If he was called the Blue Bomber in Mega Man Powered Up, then someone should put it there, though I noticed that the name in question wasn't mentioned in that article at all. If I'm wrong, I'll take back everything I said, but come on. The Blue Bomber? Glotnot 11:06, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The following text was added by an anon:
Trivia:
The official spelling of the character name in Japan is actually "Rockman" without a space. This is because the Japanese language does not use spaces. Capcom's official stand in the issue of character-names in western Mega Man games however is that the names ought to be written with a space (even the popularily used Protoman). This has caused a lot of confusion since in some older games where translations have not been as accurate the names were sometimes presented without the space. Regardless, even the name of the main character is often written incorrectly even by Capcom.
I'm not really enthusiastic about letting this sit as it is, (1) because it was added after the , but more importantly, (2) because it takes up a sizeable portion of the page explaining a minor technicality. As such, I've made a minor change on the article to reflect the (valid) point made here, but also moved the text here so that it might be incorporated into a future, longer version of the page. ... Of course, some of the incorrect statements might want to be cleaned up (Japanese certainly does use spaces!) Aerion//talk 16:34, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: Concerning the latest edits by 193.65.112.2, here is why they are wrong: 
Monsteropolis appears only in the manual for Mega Man on NES and contradicts both Japanese canon and later games. 
The Rock Upper can be clearly seen in Mega Man VII's secret one-on-one battle mode; perform it with QCF Y.  In this game it was based on the Slash Claw weapon, but in Rockman 2: the Power Fighters its animation was redrawn to be more clearly a solar energy attack. 
Consensus shown on Talk:Mega Man series shows that the name should be written "Mega Man" and not "MegaMan" (whcih was never correct for the original series). --Boco XLVII 14:12, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: There is some debate as to where exactly he lives.  Some believe he lives in the midwestern United States while others assume he lives in Japan.  It's generally accepted that he lives with Dr. Light.  (It's worth noting that the instruction booklet for the American release of the original Mega Man lists the character as hailing from "Monstropolis," which most likely derives from the words "monster" and "metropolis;" literally, "monster city.")
Please play Rockman 8 and look at the map.  You can clearly see that Dr. Right's lab is in the midwestern US.  This is confirmed by many many other sources.  Also, PLEASE stop with the "Monsteropolis" already. --Boco XLVII 23:47, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Well since I wrote that section, and the fictional character history ( which goes together ). I 1st want to thank you ( or whoever ) for giving me credit. Secondly for not removing it entirely from wikipedia ( I agree its doesnt belong on the character page). Still, I think the section should be part of the Mega Man ( classic series ) page.
Each spinoff or classification of the series i.e. MMX,Legends etc. should have a fictional history section providing a summary of the plot and conclusion. 
Thank You.

message: The current article reads:
"Mega Man, like most robots, obeys Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics, particularly the First Law: "A robot may not harm a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm." "
Is this really true? I find it hard to believe. Megaman is always killing little robot creatures, and consistently attacks Dr. Wily at the very end -- surely there is a possibility that Wily might die, making Megaman's behavior not quite Asimovian.

message: Capcom USA is very secretive when it comes to explain their bad dubbing and character renaming, but with a little digging, every answer can be found.
One of the most known change are the names Balrog, Vega and M. Bison in Street Fighter, but even before  this legendary fighting game got the change, our Blue hero got his.
As you know, you can have products with the same name in the same category. For example, I can be able to market a Yo-Yo and call it a Yo-Yo, same deal when it comes to video games. The reason is because of the first ammendment freedom of speech if you get something from another country you should be able to call it by the name it was marketed that way people can understand what it is and not be like these weaboo rockman fans and say "I like rockman" and have people go "I like megaman". So how does this affect Rockman? Take a look at these two pictures before I continue:
http://i6.tinypic.com/11qspwp.jpg
http://i6.tinypic.com/11qsqat.jpg
These were cassette games for the Commodore 16 and it’s the ultimate proof why we’re stuck with such a 1960 hero name like Mega Man. Now I’s no lawyer, that’s a fact, but even back in 1987, there could have been a way to buy that name from this company (Mastertronic) in order to use the name Rockman for the NES since these Commodore games were never planned to be ported to a game consoles in the first place.
Then again, perhaps Capcom did not imagine that this single game would have spun off half a million sequels and spin-offs, so maybe that’s why they didn’t bother.
But still, if it’s just a question of being cheap, I’m sure Capcom USA is kicking themselves in the nuts every time they have to change the NA titles of a new Rockman game (most Japanese games have English menus at the title screen, so this is not something that’s normally changed in when translating unless the title needs to be changed).
Also, even if there was no way of using the name back then, Mastertronic sort of died after being purchased by SEGA in the early 90’, so they could have swallowed their pride by now and changed the name like SEGA did for Eggman (Robotnik) and Nintendo for Princess Peach (Princess Toadstool).

*Clean up and "de-universe" the Character section.  For articles on fiction, this is important.
*Copy editing
*Get more sources!  Mods looooove sources, and with Mega Man, there's no shortage of sites.
*Outside info on Mega Man, like TV show references, books, and even stuff from other games.
*Some info on "Rockman Perfect Memories" would be nice.
*Fluff and expand certain sections (But not too much!  There is such a thing as too big of an article, look at Mario).
*Peer review.  Maybe not now, but eventually.
*Any other good ideas from other fiction/character pages that have been Good/Featured.

message: There's been a paragraph in the "In Other Games" section, which says in one way or another, that Megaman might appear in Brawl. I tried removing it, as per WP:CRYSTAL, but it seems there's some disagreement about it. First, let me point out that there is no verifiable source stating that Megaman will, 100% positive, be in Brawl. Until Masahiro Sakurai specifically says that Megaman will make an appearence in Brawl, it isn't a sure thing that he'll be in it. All there is about Megaman's appearence in Brawl so far is just fan speculation - which I doubt is a reliable source. Now, I want Megaman to be in Brawl as much as the next person, but wait until it's confirmed he'll be in it before putting it on Wikipedia.
I'm removing the current incarnation of the paragraph, since it's based off of the editor's observation of a video and violates WP:NOR. Get an outside, verifiable, reputable source stating the same thing, and it might be alright. Ibm2431 01:34, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for File:Super Smash Bros. U - new characters.jpg

message: Akira Kitamura is credited for Legendary Wings, Cocoron, Megaman 1 and 2, and possibly an anime series? Also, Kitamura-san might be a female sci-fi author, and I can't find any actual primary sourcing for this. Unsourced-but-prominent claims (IMDB and the interview translator) disagree. Also also, Kitamura-san is apparently behind a fair bit of Mega Man's level design formula, making them an important part of level design history!
History is so cool, and I'd really like to know more about this cool person.
