Tag Alias: crashman -> clashman

Aliasing crashman -> clashman.

Reason: Rockman 2 screens. Also, it seems the Robot Masters' names began spacing with the third game (I don't know if they re-compounded later), so what should be the ruling on their names? Does anyone have recent official Japanese sources that list their names in non-Japanese?

The Clashman <-> Crashman thing is one that I think we ought to leave alone, due to the Japanese r/l confusion mucking up romanization.

I won't claim to know anything about megaman but does he clash with his surroundings or does he crash into things?

Probably crash, but I don't know much about Mega Man either. Was his name rectified in later games (I know some previous Masters show up in later games, and then all the side game that make various throwbacks).

Neither, really. He throws sticky bombs.

Then maybe we should call him the demoman and be done with it.

Knowing nothing about the series, "crash" is a much more common word, and makes more sense in the context of an action game than "clash".

That said I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere out there there is an official romanization "clashman" done by someone ignorant of the distinction or oblivious to the fact that there is one.

Let's leave this one crash for sanity's sake.
