A derogatory term used by some robots to describe humans.
- F5 - Fortress V:
The Repliforce Flagship. Think a big Star Destroyer.

- INTERPOL - International Police:
The branch of the United Nations that handles all peace keeping and criminal investigation operations.

The term used to describe Gate's first happy band of Reploids, also known as the 8 bosses from Megaman X6.

Gate's second band of Reploids. Also used as an abbreviation for Ride Armor. Yes, both at once. We never said this wasn't confusing.

Small personal armor for humans and cyborgs. Think Exo-Squad, or the power loader from the end of Aliens. Also the mailing abbreviation for Pennsylvania.

Here at M3, according to Bridgit Cascio, the word 'Special' does indeed mean 'Retarded'.
- FlamMan, Duff McWhalen:
Often used examples of Capcom's inability to translate something correctly.
- The Wilybrow - International Gesture of Pimpness:
An ability possessed by Dr. Wily and his more prominent sons (most commonly exercised by Zero). It can be described as the wiggling of ones eyebrows in unison, often displayed by Dr. Wily within the original Mega Man continuity of games.
- Bass's Law:
The size of your pose is inversely proportionate to your ability to strike your opponent with the attack it is describing.
- Bass - Thump not Flounder:
Bass is pronounced like 'base' and is definately not pronounced like the fish. Failure to comply with this mandate could easily land you on the wrong side of the Neo-Buster.
