Wait who fails at life? Me? Or the other guy? So is Rockman 6 the same as Megaman 6? Because I have seen speedruns of both.

Boco, that was over the line; there are people who are mentally fragile enough to take that seriously, and in any case, it's just a cruel thing to say, especially as a joke.

You know, this question reminds me of one I've contemplated. There may be no good answer, but why is Rockman "rock"-man? It has nothing to do with rocks, and the robot master who theoretically could be "Rock Man" is instead called "Gutsman." My only guess is that six in Japanese is roku, and in some contexts it is pronounced rokku which sounds like "rock." Likewise, there were six original robot masters. But that goes out the window pretty quickly when the number of robot masters increased, plus Roll, and Blues... Whatever. I don't know. EDIT: 300th post. And one of my silliest.

Wasn't it because the other robot was called Roll? You know, Rock and Roll? Even though people are messing with you, yes, Mega Man is the USA/EU version of the Japanese Rockman.

Anyone who would kills themselves because "the guy on the internet told me to" doesn't belong within 500 miles of the internet in the first place.

Forte is a clone of Rockman created by Wily.

A lot of the information there is inaccurate, but the general overview is fine. I might submit a corrected version.
