We couldn't make this up if we tried. And, believe you me, we try to make up things all the time. Like, having money in our bank account or being respected by anyone. This, however, is reality.
During a contest held by Capcom in Japan, one lucky fan could send in their own drawing for a character. The winner would have their character redrawn by the artists at Capcom and included in Mega Man Star Force 2. Word is a winner has been chosen and their character is nothing short of awesome. Dubbed Goat Kung-Fu, the character is unique in the way that it can karate chop boards of wood in half, then clean up its own mess by eating the leftover garbage.

Kinda reminds me of Lucario. I think these are just stunts to get people back to playing those games again....

Before I even read the article, I -stared- at the picture, absolutely convinced I had to be reading the kana wrong.
That is awesome.

I seem to remember that Capcom had done this for a couple of other previous GBA Megaman games. Footman (Gridman) for example was done by a fan.

Not just the GBA games-- Capcom took their Robot Master designs from contest entries from Mega Man 2-7.

Oh, I think 8 too. Point is, we've been playing with kids' silly robot designs for about 20 years.

Yep, and there were two that were designed by Western players.
Knightman and Windman from Megaman 6 were designed by Canadian Daniel Vallie and American Michael Leader, respectively.

Well, to be fair, there's nothing casual about GOAT KUNG-FU.

Ah, this reminds me of the old Game Pro issues where people would submit their own Mega Man boss character. Memories...
