what's weirder is that Maverick Hunter X retranslates his name to.... Boomerang Kuwanger
and not Boomerang Beetle or something
the X is rather silly at times

Boomer Kuwanger

you know, the funny thing is that i always thought he was like a grasshopper or something?
going through this thread, it also occurred to me that i probably spent the least amount of time revisiting this stage compared to all the others
i just want you to know that "i" appreciated this post

I remember Maverick Hunter X slightly renamed him to Boomerang Kuwanger. If Capcom tried remaking X1 again, I often wondered if they would just straight up rename him Boomerang Beetle--especially since they seem to prefer more conventional names, as seen in the X5 legacy collection version.
you think people in classic get on edge if they ever get introduced to a robot whose name ends in "Man"
That was probably the single best thing about that specific re-release. I was so glad to see them get rid of the Guns 'n Roses nonsense. X5 already had a lot of problems... they didn't need to saddle the Western release with another, astronomically stupid one. :P
People first learn to distrust men then animals
No wonder that timeline is just apocalypse after apocalypse
this would have (literally) never happened if they just invested in the internet instead
aside from all those terrorist incidents and the world almost ending a few times in Battle Network
Terrorist incidents that happened BECAUSE they decided to bet their money on the Internet instead of robotics.
I mean
During ZX we are dealing with giant databases of everybody alive, so networking and computing became important anyway, and not in a specially great manner (not to mention the Elves are software/sentient AI too)
During BN6 we see the possibility of fusing robotics and Navis (not to mention the use of automated 'bots for security).
Both technologies will converge eventually.
In the end the internet timeline ends up far more peaceful if you consider SF though.
This much is true. There were world ending threats in BN but nothing on the scale of MMX's Maverick wars or or, God forbid, the Elf Wars from MMZ.
Also: TIL the Elf Wars only lasted 4 years and yet it ended with the death of 90% of reploids, 60% of humans and the entire planet reduced to a smoldering wasteland.

Legends also happens in the Classic/X/Z/ZX timeline, and in that the whole world eventually gets flooded.
Classic timeline is the bad timeline. The Skynet and Future Trunks timeline.
A new Alex Kidd game in this style would be cool. If Wonder Boy III can return by fan developers, why not this?Y'all scrubs never heard of Kuwagamon?
Magna Hyakkulegger is the best Maverick name.
I still don't buy that Legends is on the robotics timeline. It makes for fun fanservice but until something connects it to the rest like the Lan letters/diary entries in SF, it's just fun trivia/fluff tbh
Or a TV show in the BN era.

I see it like how Turn A is for Gundam
it's an end point regardless of the timeline, everything leads to Legends, but it's so deep in the future that it doesn't matter
Star Force even more so. One of the scenarios of the first game involve a self driven truck going berserk and running over everything.
There have already been fatalities involving Tesla's autopilot. Now imagine the scenario of a hacker breaking into one of those cars and going into a killing spree.
That is a good way of looking at it, though also a bit depressing ):

For X5 they literally made stuff up. And then they just didn't translate them at all after that
They were always crazy, originally.
I never really understood this line of thinking about continuity, it's a simpler explanation that something like Turn A (or BotW, or whatever) is a separate continuity which contains elements/events that have also occurred in other continuities, rather than all realities somehow merging.

This guy was my favorite boss in X1. I think the japanese names are more interesting than just Power Animal, but the X5 ones sound really silly to me.
covers like this make me appreciate how much MMX1 (and to some extent X2 and 3) replicated the 80s heavy metal sound with a mere snes sound chip. i'll listen to the original OST imagining some long haired japanese guy shedding his guitar all sweaty in some small sound room, but no it was all meticulously programmed
