Things in Megaman that you never noticed before until recent

[BiscuitSlash]

After rereading the Viewer Gender Confusion page on tvtropes and then checking the Megaman wiki to be certain....

Polar Kamrous from Megaman Zero 2 is a female. Not male like almost every enemy Megaman character ever.

Optic Sunflower and Lumine were female in the Japanese version of Mega Man X8.

[Ivory]

They were? I just checked MMKB and it says nothing about them being female in japan. What I do see is trivia about them being the most gender confused characters in the X Series

[sa173533]

Yep!Well,Lumine is female in Japan,But Optic Sunflower is male.Sorry!

[Knux]

Only after beating MMV a few times did I notice that the jump button can be used for dodging in the Rush flight segment. What's funny though, is that I never actually needed it.

Then, do you have a source to back yourself up?

[sa173533]

TV Tropes.

[Ivory]

*checks TV Tropes page for X8*

I see nothing about this at all.

[sa173533]

Check the "Video Games" section of the "Viewer Gender Confusion" trope.

But the worst is probably Lumine from Mega Man X8. Very female voice, long light-purple hair, thin feminine body, yet other characters always refer to him as a "he".

    Similarly for Optic Sunflower, he has a very feminine voice, but is referred to as male in-game.

So, at what point does this tell you that Lumine is female in japan?

[sa173533]

Oh,sorry!I just grazed through it.

Jump does what now?

wow

I only just realized that Roll is supposed to have blue eyes.

Although the MM8 version of her MM9 ending image, her MM3 mugshot, and the title screen of that mobile phone port of Rockman 1 show her with green eyes.
Her eyes also randomly turned green in MM&B's artwork.

(In 9's cutscenes and the normal ending image, her eyes have no colour at all, and although her MM&B art shows her with green ones, the actual in-game images use blue eyes. 10 only shows her eyes in one scene, and they are blue (well, one of them is).
8's FMVs, like MM9, do not show her eyes as any colour, them just being black. Same for her in-game MM8 sprites, in fact, same for all her other in-game appearances.)

weird

Makes sense that I didn't know that though, the only sprites I've worked with that did show her eye colour were the MM3 mugshot and the MM8 version of her ending picture in MM9.

Blue and green are both considered just different shades of the same color "Aoi" in Japan, so that's not actually a problem.

[Geno]

That's neat.

Especially since blue & green (and different shades of each) are my favourite colours!

I guess I can just say my favourite colour is "Aoi" then.
