Espio

Controversy on how this name was inspired. I say Espionage.

Of course? What else would it be?

So he is a spainish lizard?

Too me this seems like wondering where a name like Vector came from.

I was just going to say it just fit but then again you guys probably know/care more about origin then I do.

I think Pur-Rulz said Vector's name has to do with his Spin Dash, but I don't know how true that is.

I just say Espionage. Id go with the second one if he wore a sombrero or something though.

Espio is a very interesting character. He's appealing to me in what his abilities are. He's pretty underrated IMO. I wouldn't mind putting him along side with Sonic in the spotlight for one go and see what he can do.

You sounded very similar to Antony with that post.

I don't see it.

Not responding to the first post, but to the title of the topic.

So, they have almost I dentical meanings, and there needs to be a discussion on which? Either way, you can't be possibly wrong.

I know. I thought I'd make, I dunno, a discussion about it? :P

I think Espio gets the rating he deserves for a character like him. He is interesting considering his claim to be a ninja and his semi-seriousness.

I just think a more unique character like Vector deserves more praise is all.

I agree, but after the computer room fiasco, I'm not surprised at the lack of praise for Vector.
But, anyway, back on topic, Espio is one of my favorites, and my second or third favorite of the Chaotix, not counting Knux. I just wish he and the rest of the team could interact with each other more.

I think it could of been ether. They both make sense.

Since we speak English, it's Espionage.

Espio with a sombrero...
