American Mega Man is Very Fat 

Check Out My Video on Why Capcom Humilated Mega Man ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nPc2f17ufcI.html

Bruh, he tried to physically catch the light particles 💀

He sure got that japanese-made american man look

Netflix's original megaman

I mean in all fairness, the guy who was given the task of drawing Mega Man was given like one night to do it and a half-assed description of the character.

I like how they kept the dented up off center helmet🤣

I'm afraid that's not exactly it. The reason why Bad Box Art Mega Man looked the way he does was because the artist for the infamous cover was given little to no time to work on the art and wasn't given any source material to work with, nor had he seen the game. As for his inclusion in Street Fighter x Tekken, Infanue didn't want to include any other version of the character, as Mega Man in fighting games have been done before and wanted "something original". So Yoshinori Ono, producer of the game, suggest the Bad Box Art Mega Man and made him wackier. His appearance being because he's aged since his picture was taken and he's 25 years older. Inafune loved the idea and gave the go-ahead. The reason why he has a gun? Because he had one in the original box art.

Japanese hold no horses for artist who “fixed” art since back then 😂

Capcom just had to pull this stunt after canceling Mega Man Legends 3, and Mega Man Universe. "You want Megaman? Here you go! Bwahaha!" (Capcom)

The artist and capcom staff were ahead of their time

Honestly he was just ill-timed, looking back the idea is pretty fun and mock what everyone dislike but since MegaMan games when from 8 games per year to none in 8 years a character mocking MegaMan was just another nail in the coffin.

He is built like an NFL lineman. That dude would mess you up 😂

He actually is holding a gun in the box art.

Megaman's Final Smash in Smash Bros has more love for Megaman in it than Capcom has shown in years.

They want to mock japan anime-style artwork, but ends up mocking themself 😂

What a beauty. It’s right up there with Dragonball Evolution and Roland Emmerich’s Godzilla.

Rocco man, now that would be something...

Everyone disrespects American mega man but nobody looks at French mega man

From Rockman to Boulderman

I get they were throwing shade back and forth but the american drawing isn't fat it's actually pretty proportionate

They couldn’t call him “Fat man” cause the last time one went there Nagasaki got incinerated.

Yeah, he's also featured in Rockman-Chan. Pretty much the usual American Guy tropes depicted by Japanese.

He carries a gun, you know, those things used to beat the toffee toothed limey teasippers in the revolutionary war. 🇺🇲🗽🦅 🎇

American Megaman’s design is hilarious. I don’t even know what the artists who made that box art were thinking. > For one, they made him blue and yellow; Rockman’s base form sprite has no yellow on his suit or helmet. > Second, they gave him a gun when his Mega Buster is clearly mounted to his arm. > And finally, they made him look like a full grown man when in reality he’s half the size of Dr. Light. Even X as he appeared in that one episode of the Ruby Spears _Mega Man_ cartoon looks better, as he at least has the right color scheme, patterns, and weapon!

How bizzare I like the non American Mega Man better.

It’s crazy to me how he is actually kind of decent in the right hands. There is a very small community of people still playing this game on ps3 and they are amazing

damn, last time I was this early I missed my reversal timing

They even made the yellow part of the helmet goofy ahh like the box art. The shade is real.

He looks like he belongs in viewtiful Joe games

You guys need to read Rockman-chan, that manga is really funny. And yes American boxart megaman appears

He’s not called megaman in Japan, kinda lame that’s a sick name

We need more of him. Shouldn't just be a relic

I want him to come back in his own game. And I'm not just saying that because his version of Roll is hot.

Really hope everyone involved in approving this awful artwork got fired that shit was atrocious like ain’t no way they looked at the box art and thought it was good

It's called a power gut. Only truly strong humans have it.

Bancho: “hmm, what a spirited child. I like her”. I hear: “BEAT IT”!

Wasn't he made to look weird and nostalgic of old scifi on purpose?

This made me want to see the PAL box art, it's like a more realistic Rockman, it's weird but cool

Literally yesterday I was talking about how misleading NES game covers were . “ I loved Mega all the same !” 🤣

didn't the artist of the box art say he didn't know what he looked like and the other people just said how he looked, or something

You forgot to mention the part where they pulled this "joke" at a time when there had been no actual new Mega Man games for years, and Capcom had recently announced the cancelation of ones that were supposedly in development.

Rex: Why'd they do that for?! Aria: Because they want anything remotely anime in the US 😞 Rex: RUDE 😒😤

This design kind of reminds me of the pitch Yahtzee Crosshaw had for a Duke Nukem game where it's about Duke entering a world that now considers him a joke and past his time. Like I'm imagining essentially a MegaMan game where he's unfit and out of shape in lue of his complete irrelevance and is called back into action.

This is the real Megaman.

I love how they even made the band on his head askew like the original rework art. Was this the first instance of, 'fixing art?'

Both of those 2 characters should definitely meet up one day.

I take it that those who mocked japanese art style back then were the Mindy Kaling of their era.

Not just 2nd amendement, the redraw of megaman has a pistol too.

This also happened with "Man Man" in Mega Man: Fully Charged

For the dude named Rock-Man, he sure is built like a boulder

It wasn't America. It was just an artist who was told what to draw. He had never seen megaman. You make it sound like all Americans got together and vote for him to look like this.

The real insult is Capcom. Not releasing a mega Man game for 8 years but instead giving a character that mocks mega Man in a game he's not affiliated with. We can point fun all we want, but the jokes really on us

Well, now I know what my Halloween outfit’s gonna be this year. Also would make for a helluva bit of shade thrown: “Girl, she looked like the Megaman 1 Boxart. Uh-uh, no thank you.”

USA: *sees anime design* "Fixed."

When I was a kid, I wondered why Megaman on the box didn't look like Megaman in the game. 35 or so years later, that mystery has been cleared up!

But they called mega man, Rockman in Japan, but in North America we call mega man, mega man in English, this is because some North American and Japanese languge are a little bit confused, and mega man’s name in Japan is rock man to make a reference to his Civilian name, first name, and his real name, rock. Rock light/mega man, is my best friend, no one makes him look like a joke and gets away with it!

Honestly, this mockery is deserved. America was frkn insecure even for game releases, gad damn.

Man, using an X in a title just breeds confusion because it means so many things: Cross, by, multiply, 10. 90s and 0s ruined the X to be Xtreeeeme.

I love using him in SFXT

I remember collecting the nes games as a kid and when i finally found a copy of mega man 1 it was a serious WTF moment when i saw the artwork 🤣. At least the American art for part 2 kinda looked right.

*music beats fade in* “…..America, FnCK YEAH!”

And now I will remain unsubscribed.

Mega Man in Captain N was a bit pudgy as well.

I invite everyone to compare the box arts of Dragon quest and the localized Dragon Warrior. It's night and day.

Very similar to what happened to Ariel for the live action movie of The Little Mermaid

he took dr. light's advise. "you must recubbah all the enujy immediately, w-megaman!" and ate all the energy.

Bad Box-Art Megaman in that game was also meant to be tied to some event for the series anniversary the same year, and would essentially be one of several versions of the character from parallel dimensions in another game or maybe a manga series, I don't recall at this point. But the intended "main event" of that idea would ultimately be cancelled, and this version in Street Fighter x Tekken would end up being the only remaining thread of it.

If I'm not mistaken the reason why mega Man looks like that on the American cover is because they held a contest and that was drawn by a kid who won. But I'm going off of what I heard not doing any research.

The American artist did all the difficult parts to draw very well (hands and face) but failed at the easy parts like helmet and shoulders 😂

This is like the time Godzilla rekt the American Godzilla (unaffectionately known as 'Zilla') in a couple seconds in that one movie

I thought it said "This is my density" at first.

I didn't even realize it looped, I just looked to see why it seemed longer than usual

The reason he carries a gun in the joke character is because so did he in the art work

If I read it correctly I think the box art for the US release of MM1 was requested on extremely short notice and the artist only got 24 hours to complete it.

"96% of you arent subbed" welcome to the YT shorts game sonny.

He looks like a silver age comic book character that gets redeemed for a movie 80 years later

I've always hated American boxart, even the design of the boxes. The boxes and art looked cooler in Japan, as did the console themselves.

To be fair the American art went way harder

I was pissed at this choice, but I mained him, non the less.

I think megaman is a way better name than rockman. I get that rockman is a musical pun and his name is rock but calling him rockman just means there can’t be a rock type robot master. Megaman sounds so unique it’s irreplaceable

I actually love him. I’m kinda glad it happened like this. Now we got an awesome funny character out of it.

When I first saw him, I was in denial. I was certain he was a rom hack 😆

I remember when this came out at the time, it was thought to be the biggest portrayal at the time bc there had be *no new* Megaman titles at the time, and the fanbase thought this was made to mock them as opposed to the original, terrible boxart

"96 percent of you aren't subscribed yet." You saying that makes me not want to subscribe to your channel.

What if fat Mega Man and Mega Man met? What would their reaction be?

It's funny. because he's unironically one of the best fighters in the game

I was just playing RE3, he is referenced in a subway poster.

I always did wonder why the box art of the old mega man games looked so weird

I always thought Bad Cover Art Megaman in Tekken Vs Street Fighter was fatter than the actual bad cover art Megaman because he was older and put on some weight. Which means this Megaman is actually organic.

I came in here to comment on the bad timing of box art Mega Man, but it seems like there are still many jaded megaman fans who remember. I think it's funny now, but when he was announced it hurt all of us in a way we still hold a grudge about lol.

96% unsubbed? What does that have to do with MegaMan???? Keep to the free content, bro

I remember hearing they also did this because they felt like they'd used the original mega man design too often so they did this for the sake of variety

The day Japan dunked on 'Merica!😂😂

He's carrying a gun because that was how he was depicted on the horrible box art - has nothing to do with the 2nd Amendment or American's love for guns.

It’s pretty funny that he got included as a character, I love it

Rock and Roll. 😎

The gun tho was from the box art, they have him they weird pistol which had some people thinking he was possibly a normal dude under his armor

Lol I like how they keep the yellow crest on his head crooked, like on the artwork lol

As an American, I do not claim this Megaman. To me, because of Smash Bros bringing Megaman back into the spotlight, Rockman and Megaman are one and the same. The US design is a straight up joke.

Ok but what if we one day get a full on game , like he’s kinda charming in this weird comedy underdog way , out to prove himself XD 😂😂
