Capcom's new initiative for Megaman Legends 3 is to have more fan feedback and their first step for that proposal was to have their fans vote on the new Megaman Legends 3 Heroine. All 9 of the concepts are from Megaman veterans, so it's a hard pick. Here's what I think of each of them. vote here
lil' school girl From Hayato Keji, who's worked on MML2, MM 4-8, MM X and X3, and the first Battle Network, we get this adorable little school girl. d'aaaaawwwwwwwwwww a fuku, boxy red backpack, and a met beanie what more can you add? :3 You might have to help this little girl find her lost doggy or tell a boy she likes that she likes him but I don't see her as a serious heroine.
Pretentious brat Hideki Ishikawa, who's worked on MM 7 & 8, Megaman & Bass, MM the Power Battle, MM Battle & Chase, and MML 1 & 2, draws us this haughty looking princess. Personally, I don't like her and hope Tron destroys her house within the first hour of the game.
Bunny? From hands that has worked on the PS version of MM 1-6, MM X5, X6 & Command Mission, the Japanese only release of Megaman Legends 1 and 2, the EXE series and the first and third Star Force Series, we get a character that looks like she can dig! Goggles and all she looks experienced in the art of reaverbot dodging.
Looks like a dude. Can't unsee D: Talk about simple. Kazushi Itou has worked on MM 5,6,7 and the first Megaman Legends, but you really need a little more than the basics to be in a game people have been waiting a decade for.
loli power! Loli. Wonderful wonderful loli. I've always liked the art from the Zero games, and Toru Nakayama brought all of that into this tiny little package. As a heroine, she'll probably work best like Megaman's apprentice of sorts. While Roll slowly gets jealous of their closeness. I wouldn't mind having a little runt like her tagging along with me on ruins too, since I kinda like it when games do that, especially when they do it well, like Pokemon Yellow.
My pink hair deflects reaverbots. Hmm, someone who looks like they can stand toe-to-toe ruin raiding against Megaman. Well, maybe not toe-to-toe, but she can maybe keep up. Shinsuke Komaki has worked on MM X3 & X6, MM8, the entire Battle Network series, the entire Star Force series and the Misadventures of Tron Bonne so you know he knows his megaman.
Howdy! Sensei Haruki Suetsugu has worked on MM X4-X6, MM Extreme & Extreme 2 and the first Megaman Legends, but I'm not sure about this one. Her nature-y aura is kind of ill-fitting with the whole Megaman Legends universe. But since she currently has most of the votes on the polls already, I guess a lot of people see potential there. She also says "howdy", fuck that.
My coat is wings! I only have 1 stocking! Aside from working on ALL the Breath of Fire games, Tatsuya Yoshikawa has also worked on MMX, X7 & X8, Maverick Hunter X and MM Powered Up. Now I can't hate on anybody who worked on Breath of Fire, but this one doesn't look like she could help you at all. You might save her from a few rogue reaverbots, but I can't see her being on the helpful side. But who knows, maybe she has some latent computing prowess or upgrade your weapons for a lower price *wink* *wink*
I AM THE FATHER'S DAUGHTER! FROM THE FATHER OF MEGAMAN HIMSELF, KEIJI INAFUNE, COMES THIS! boring Roll clone. :/ Really, I expected more from the great man himself. Maybe if he wasn't too busy outsourcing Capcom games to foreigners, he'd be better at this.
