Do you prefer the name "Megaman" or "Rockman" ?

[Emmanuelf06]

I prefer Rockman ! Like rocknroll, rockman musics who are so good....
But for occident, we had always megaman, so it's better to keep "megaman", i think....

Capcom have bought the total copyright of "Rockman" there is some years ago...but not sure, they will use it for the next games if there is.... xD

Megaman si too much like...superman, bioman....
"Rockman" is more original for me...

I prefer Megaman.

It sounds more recognizable and I grew up with it. I'd imagine everyone in the East identifies him more as Rockman, though.

[Ivory]

My (relatively common) head canon is that I like to think that his actual name is Rock but his super fighting robot form is Megaman.

Now we gotta name the game Rockmn 8-bit deathmatch.

[Medley]

When I think of Rockman, I think of some manner of bootleg sausage vehicle construct.

So Megaman.

When i think in Rockman,  i think on megaman without helmet for some reason.

"Megaman" does sound a bit cheesy honestly, so I have slight trouble saying it out loud sometimes. I don't get that problem with the name "Rockman" however, which sounds more original.

Based on this I slightly prefer his Japanese name.

Well, I like how Rockman sounds, and like the connection to "rock and roll". If Capcom were to start using it as the brand name in the US (in an Eggman situation), I would probably always call it Rockman. Mega Man is pretty cool too, though, and since it's the English name, that's what I usually go with.

[LlamaHombre]

Rockman isn't as fun to shout as Mega Man.

[Max]

Rockman just makes me think of a robot master designed after rocks
When Mega Man has no element and just shoots pew pews the name Rockman is a bit misleading
But that's because I grew up with Mega Man, and I think it sounds better for everything imaginable

[Awbawlisk]

Megaman!

Weapon get! MEGA BUSTER

Eh, I prefer Mega Man. It just sounds... more complete. I grew up with the name after all, I guess its just how I feel.

Exactly this.

I like Rockman more but I say Mega Man since it's the commonly used name that I grew up with.

Megaman should be called Lemonman. >_>

[Yuri Sakazaki]

The "Rock and Roll" connection is still there since Megaman is still known as Rock, without the armor. That's what Megaman 9 stated, did it not? I mean after the disaster of calling him Mega in Powered Up.

So yeah. Megaman all the waaaaay!
