Maybe it's just my odd sense of humor.

But I really wish Axl was a girl, he seems pretty hyperactive. He could go on and on about pink armor if he was a girl.

Just seems so lame to me otherwise. "Oh, it's that third guy..that uh..has two guns and white pointed things..yeah."

So I'm writing in to Capcom for a gender change.

You know... under other circumstances I might defend Axl here...

But since this is Hollow we're talking about, I'm not touching it with a ten-foot pole.

Actually, I think Hollow makes a good point in an obscure way. ^^ Other than X8's sorry excuse for having female playable characters, the X games have never had a real strong female lead... Just annoying Alia and dead Iris. I think if instead of Axl they'd put in a strong female lead, it could have been interesting... Depending on how good the execution was, of course. But... since this is Capcom we're talking about, I don't know if I have much faith in a good execution of anything anymore. x.x

But hey, ZX has a female playable lead, and I think she's pretty darned cool. ^^ See? It CAN be done- WITHOUT huge tits! =P

Even if Axl weren't a girl, wouldn't he go an and on about pink armor anyway?

What's really convenient for them if they wanted to make Axl a girl is that they still probably have contact info for the X7 voice actor!

Capcom is notorious for giving male characters female voices.

Look at X in X4.

Thought we'd been over that already.

He voice doesn't sound girly to me. Axl should stay a guy. And they should put roll back in and give her a cannon. Bam, there's your girl.

Yeah, Rioni got it right.

I think three dudes is a little much for a game like MMX...I dunno, maybe I'm used to just playing as Megaman. But when you run out of gimmicks..(X has the gun, Zero the sword)..I just think a gender change would have made things pretty different regardless of Axl using..two guns.

Plus as Rioni also said, there hasn't been a strong female lead in any of the X games, and there has never been a female Hunter showcased other than in the ending of X5 and the ones you rescue in X6 (and all of them were nameless).

It's just tedious. At first I wanted the X series to have more human interaction, but now I'll settle for some girls showing up..because all we have is Alia. I know they're reploids and it doesn't matter in the end, but it just is a change of pace.

They weren't nameless, you had reploid A56C, and Reploid B-4

they were codenamed man!

No, I'm glad Axl is male. He would be worse than now. Think about it. Since he is put in as a comedy relief in the first place, why think turning him into a female would make him less annoying? Then you'll have to put up with a high pitched "cute" voice coupled with clichéd female related problems (kidnapped, wanting more help than other characters, and, not limiting to, turning on the female charm to any guy she sees). All he is right now is a hyperactive teenager that is in between child and adulthood. He'll grow out of it. (...Then again, it took X almost 6 to 7 games to change personalities...)

What Rising said. They all had names when you reviewed the rescue log to check which ones you missed, and which you got. Was quite funny.

It was in X6.

Oh, come on, that's not true about all female leads. I still say look at the chick in ZX as an example. She doesn't need extra help, she wasn't kidnapped, she doesn't hit on all the male characters... I like to see a good strong female lead in a videogame. *cough-SamusAran-cough* You may be right about the voice, but it couldn't possibly be more annoying than his voice already is. In fact, almost any change to him would be an improvement, I can't stand him so much. x.x I think they should've had a tough tomboyish chick instead of him. He seems more like an afterthought to me- a bad attempt at breathing life into a series that they're slowly but surely killing with increasingly bad games... (Oldschool is best!)

I gotta agree with Break on this one. If they had made him a girl, we'd have to deal with a teenage female robot with weapons: never a good combination.

Either way, what's done is done and Capcom is NOT going to change things.

Well, personally, a hyperactic robot chick with guns would be pretty hot! :lol: Besides, it'll add more diversity in the future MMX titles. Like Ri said about the navigators in X8: that was pitiful!

... Dude, not all female characters are all "Eek, save me!" or "Hey big boy...". Yeah, Princess Peach, Zelda, and Amy Rose are like that, but not Samus. She'd blow your ass to hades with a Super Missile if she heard that.

Then again, I'm just saying this cuz MMX's too boring with just three female characters... (Iris is dead, she doesn't count)
