Splash Woman is doing it for the girls
Following Plug Man's unveiling yesterday, GamesRadar has media and details on one of Mega Man 9's more historic Robot Masters. Splash Woman is the first ever female boss in the series, and grants Mega Man the fantastic-looking Laser Trident when defeated, a weapon that can pass through walls and damage otherwise invincible objects and areas.
The actual fight looks excellent, as well: after completing Splash Woman's mostly underwater level, Mega Man has to dodge her trident shots, as she warbles her siren song, calling on her ferocious fishy friends to attack you. It's sort of cute. Head to our gallery for new screens and sprites of both her and Plug Man.

Whoa, I never even noticed when I first looked at Megaman that he very closely resembles what he looked like on the boxart of the first Megaman game.
Too awesome and nostalgic for words, Capcom. Keep up the good work!

I was hoping that when he got her powers, he'd be Mega Woman too, which would be plenty ridiculous to see. :)

Splash Woman is technically the second female robot master. The first one is Virgo, from the insanely obscure, China only game Rockman Strategy.
