MMX100 | Mega Man RPG Prototype Leaderboard

I think you've said before that you want to incorporate a shop in the prototype later on. I'm thinking it should sell items, special power-ups that can only be bought (not dropped by enemies), alternate character color schemes and other little secrets. To buy items you pay with your battle points (if possible).

Speaking of items, are we ever going to see the coveted 1-UP make an appearance in the game? If a bot goes down in battle it would be interesting to see a teammate/opponent make a comeback.

Thanks for the comp.

Thank goodness I've kept up with the issues but if I hadn't I'd throw some boulders at you for spoiling some parts.

For such a topic I suggest a spoiler warning at the beginning made by you Mr. Mega Man. Or for each user to write 'SPOILERS' before writing a key point of the plot.




Also, POSSIBLE SPOILER:

Mega Man X coming up in issue #34!

I wasn't around to help (sorry bout that) and didn't even know this was happening in my absence, but this story about your noble goal just sounds amazing!

I didn't get this for or do Christmas but by coincidence I opened it up that day LOL!

@ Sean:
Really nice redo. Love the sparks in the dash and the red you chose but...

@ Adrian:
I knew the red wouldn't agree with you! :p Send me the red you intend to use so I can incorporate it when I redo GutsMan.

Wow, so many updates coming up. Really digging the new Robot database redesign. Cool, how each page designates a game. Though... what about the MM3 Masters? When are we gonna have those guys under our command?

Bwa ha ha ha! So you've met my IMPROVED Yamato Man X! I designed him to have a back up power supply and included light reflecting armor to make him invisible!

Well actually I didn't and this sounds like that ol' bug that was supposed to be gone.

EDIT: My goodness! This is a thread in the bug report section. Please do not clog threads outside of the general section with irrelevant comments. The crack I made of creating a new Yamato was only because I MADE the sprites for him.

If you're looking to make puns, there is a thread for this already - Pun thread

Well this is something Adrian will most likely answer sooner or later. If he doesn't, you can always send a direct tip through here - http://megamanpoweredup.net/rpg2k11/contact/

@ElecMan:
Thanks and you're going to have to wait until who knows when as Adrian said that there would be little to none MM3 content in his upcoming update.

Sorry but Adrian has already chosen 8-bit sprites from fan games: Rockman 7 FC, Rockman 8 FC, Rockman & Forte FC. Follow these links to see the sprites for yourself.

MM7 - http://megamanpoweredup.net/rpg2k11/community/development/137/robot-sprite-editors-mega-man-7/

MM8- http://megamanpoweredup.net/rpg2k11/community/development/138/robot-sprite-editors-mega-man-8/

MM&B - http://megamanpoweredup.net/rpg2k11/community/development/141/robot-sprite-editors-mega-man-bass/

Can't wait for that fix and entire update.

@ Adrian Marceau
Great but again, when exactly are we gonna get this update implemented?

@ MetalMan
Thanks for the compliments.
"Sometime ill spend what seems like eons just starring at the original sprite sheet, trying to figure out how I'm going to make certain poses work."
So true, right now I'm working on Wind Man right now but he only has six sprites to work with and two of them are unusable. Hey, don't forget you too can post on your sprite work for the MMRPG. As I am curious how you get these sheets done as well.

@ Adrian
but maybe a little too... optimistic about another

Yeah I happen to be that sometimes. I addressed this topic as I'm sure it is one that many players have thought about at one point or another. Of course I'm sure that this feature is completely off the table right now as this game is still a prototype. There are other more pressing matters to program & de-bug. But just maybe when the prototype is a completed game and only special-extra characters remain to be worked on, maybe that feature can be taken a look at.

I'd also like to say that this prototype is amazing as is already. As I'm sure it has fooled many players (including me) at some points to feel not like a prototype anymore but like the full game already. If it is this great already, surely the complete game without synchronous multiplayer will still be a blast (pun mercilessly intended).

Seeing how Wind Man might not be taken yet (maybe). I'll take him too if Sean hasn't started on him yet. Got in touch with him, hasn't replied that he has begun on Wind.

Nice update, this helps as I don't have an FB.

You might have a chance getting a fan-made character into the game.

Adrian said - "After that for expansion three I can release MM7, 8, and MM&B, etc. etc. I'd like to throw some custom robots in there as well as some robots from other fangames, but that's still pending too."

He said characters from fan games but I think there's a few in the database that aren't from any game. I think there's some more replies to this topic on the: Official Prototype Suggestion Thread in the Development section.

Definitely a bug with maybe all speed decreasing attacks as Ice Man's ice slasher 99% of the times drops my speed to 0. And what's worse when you try to recover speed all you get is : Roll's mobility improved!
Roll's mobility was not effected… As if your speed were at maximum or something.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! You're going to bring the cheesiest out of me!


Bright Man: Bright Thinking Robot

Toad Man: a) Green Thumb Robot b) Hopping Farmer Robot c) Agriculture Keeper Robot

Drill Man: a) Explosive Excavation Robot b) Volatile Excavation Robot

Pharaoh Man: Ancient Investigator Robot

Ring Man: Ring Juggling Robot

Dust Man: Scrap Contracting Robot

Dive Man: Submerged Warfare Robot

Skull Man: Dead Executor Robot

To tired to think of more, might come up with more later!

Seeing how users are getting into posting links to videos, how about being able to embed videos in the forums?

Thank you Adrian for letting me work on the entire MM9 Bunch as I have a soft spot for this game. But I also want to say sorry to anyone who was working on or planning to work on these characters. This is the first & will be the last time I'll be surprise claiming an entire game or any single character.

@MetalMan
No I have not completed & sent any MM9 Sheets as I am still working on Turbo Man.

Nice I made some myself of MM1 and they look almost (or completely) just the same, but I wanna really revise a lot more on the tiny details.

Whether it is shadownico's Mega Man that can single-handedly destroy a team of level 100 8 vs 1 :/

I've done that too before, when the game was easier to take advantage of.

BA-WEEP-GRANNAH-WEEP-NI-NI-BONG
LOL I wanna use the beginning of that video to end it with Kup & Hot Rod being attacked by the Quientison patrol guards.

2 Defeats and 1 Victory already? Really!? Oh well these statistics don't really matter when live player vs player hasn't been implemented.

Finally, this will really make battles much more interesting. No more of the "spamming away strategy"

@ Brorman
Nice, this is what I've been asking from Adrian for a Guts Man re-color. He has delivered, YES THANK YOU!

I work first in MSPaint then finish up with Gimp. You should get it as it's free, and legal. It's also updated occasionally to compete with software like Photoshop.

http://www.gimp.org/

I really need to start writing some threads about my work here on the MM RPG so I can give out some little tips here and there.

@ Adrian Marceau
Can I get a little explanation?
Also, I just discovered about RM Strategy as well the other day, so yeah I was just asking as I haven't even seen the designs of those Masters yet.

Hey after completing your game, I think it should still have the word Prototype in the title as is fits very well with the story!

TRANSFORMERS!!! I'll watch that one later! Still waiting for an arcade
beat-em up game based on that movie.

So is that what AMV really stands for? Anime? Not Animated?

I think Tango would fit Proto Man's style more. They're both wanderers and sneaky. I feel they fit better as well after reading MM Gigamix.
Plus, Beat is too up-beat for Blues.

@ BladeWolfe1
I'll check it out.

YES YES, thank you! If you were talking to me.

Good, explanation. This would've really helped the first time ha ha.
Hopefully you accept my Yamato sheet as many forms are out of the 40x40 containers. That info was the most helpful for me even though I'm on my 'somethingth' sheet.

Wow, shock twist. That's quite the different story I was thinking about from the usual: "Go Wily #s, attack Mega Man!"
Working with virtual versions of the characters sounds like a good, easy explanation for bringing back all the robot masters as their fates after the games is very unclear as Inafune or Capcom has never revealed anyting about that. Speaking of aliens from the MM universe, were you planning on using every character from every game including from Japanese only games or only from games brought to the west.

@ Brorman
There's always that very popular video site that has the word 'tube' in it somewhere. That is if you can't read the comics regularly like if from another country or something.
The MM series was the first comic I ever tried to seriously collect as it's the first one I ever started from #1. Though convention variants easily killed my collection unfortunately.

Finish my called sprites in a more timely manner! (That means to quit hanging around the forums and get to work! lol)

I came here from TMMN, unpredictable fellows though mostly all the readers are negative as shown in their comments.

@ BladeWolfe1
I wanna see, link?

Thank you Shadownico
1. MM9 - Flash in the Dark (Wily Stage 1) FTW
2. MM - Fire Man

4. MM3 - Spark Man, Blues Theme
5. MM4 - Skull Man
6. MM5 - Napalm Man
7. MM6 - Mr. X Stage 1
8. MM7 - Destroyed Street (Intro Stage), Wily Stage 3
Guts Man's part in the robot museum theme (Love that BASS)
9. MM&B - Cold Man (SNES)
10. MM9 - Galaxy Fantasy (Galaxy Man)
11. MM10 - Nitro Rider (Nitro Man)
These are the only ones I can remember without looking at any lists but really I love 90% of all the music in the games!

Nice, I'm glad you like MM4 more now as it's one of the higher ones on my list. Wow I use the Complete Works Book as well sometimes, right now the most I've used it for is for Yamato Man. I love the pages where you see every side to the character at the back of the book.
Hey and opening and playing a new and good game is one of the best feelings ever huh? But the car ride home waiting to do that is one of the worst! XD

I remember Spark Man having his 'mini-spark wave' attack then a charge up attack. I'm guessing the charge attack doesn't pack enough of a punch to make him a tank.

I'm also thinking how Needle Man would have really tough armor as lasers I believe are usually used to go through the toughest materials and that's what Needle's weak to. But if you take into account the movement of the characters, Needle Man practically floats down after jumping and looks as light as a feather.
My respect to you if you can get to the end of all these charcters without going crazy deciding the stats!

So, another user who reads the comics. Are you a casual reader of the series or a collector?

I have six slots open but I really wanted to do all the masters from 9 as it is my secret favorite. I didn't even know we could skip games. One of my e-mails even said this (I let other characters slide as well) but I don't know if that list was ever even valid.

When I read about this game before ever trying it, I imagined how a classic series MM-RPG would be like. I thought it like this:

-Each level is composed of 2 rounds.
. First round is against a group of small enemies from their respected
levels from the original games.
. Second round is against the Robot Master only



Reasons I think players find the game to be too easy:

- Enemy Robot Masters are usually under-leveled
. Maybe when a player chooses their character then begins the level, the
system first detects the levels of the characters chosen by the player
then adds (idk) 5-10 levels to the cpu enemy robot master. Then the
game will stay true to the classic series difficulty.

- Unbalanced Teams (8vs1?really?)
. Again using the system that detects your character's levels if your
party consists of 2-4 members the cpu's level is +4-5 levels for every
extra member you bring and if your party consists of 5-8 members cpu
level is +2-3 levels for every extra member you bring.

- Unlimited Weapon/Recover/Breaker Energy
. Every time I play I notice this feature, weapons from enemies are not
limited. Well what does the player do now? Just spam the weapon that is
the Robot Master's weakness & occasionally recover health. Special
weapon energy should be limited for copy core bots. If you want to
recover weapon energy use a new weapon recover ability or shoot the
enemy with the 'buster shot' to do so.
. Recovery/Breaker abilities should also be limited to avoid having cpu
bots use health recover over and over again or avoid spamming of other
recovery or breaker abilities.


One other menu thing:

- Recovery & Breaker Abilities should be separate from Weapons
. I would love to able to equip abilities without having to sacrifice
weapons. Maybe while in-battle there is a Attack choice and a Ability
choice. In 'attack' all your weapons you have equipped your character
would be here. And in 'ability' all the recovery/breaker options you
your character would be here of course.
. I know having this option would make the game easier but it's something
that I've thought about for a long time. Also in the games MM would have
up to 9 weapons (mega buster included). But here it would make more
sense as players in the final product will have over 80+ weapons to
choose from and only 7 or less slots is so little (that is you equipped
one ability).


I think I'm done, though co-op with others online has just popped into my head as I imagined a party of players taking on a lvl 300 Mecha Dragon with the MM2-Wily Stage 1 from RM2:ComWorks playing in the background. Lvl 300 you ask, well maybe for my ideas to work, I wouldn't mind for cpu enemies to cheat and go over the lvl 100 bar so the game will continue to always be a fun challenge even though you have lvl 100 characters.
Wow I hope this post is more of an interesting read than a headache!

Cool, more red is better than that magenta-ish color from before.
"It's good to have you on the bad side..." Magnet Man
(If you're a fan of the cartoon you know what I'm talking about. :p)

*What about Guts Man? Hint Hint* Though is it an optical illusion to me or is the new red of Magnet Man different than the red of Proto Man? If they are different, I like Proto's red more for Guts Man whenever you get to that.

Leaving the jewel in Stone Man's chest to indicate he is offline is pretty neat.
Since I haven't seen Napalm Man in action, I never would've guessed the shells in his hands would be flashing. If you've seen it in action before and you think they look good, I'm sure most likely everyone will agree as well.

Yeah they're way better now, thanks. Sorry for incomplete work.

I was expecting a RM: Complete Works direction but this is good as well. Though by personal choice I prefer Sony's sound chip in Nintendo's SNES.

Enker:

- Letting you know that I purposfully left Enker's hands white since I don't really touch up on the colors anymore but they are actually blue in the official artwork.

Mistakes -
Magnet Man:

- My fault again, since the original sheet. I left a unerased white spot in all my 'victory sprites' right in between his raised hand and his 'audio receiver' if you want to get technical.
