ThatGuyNamedMikey | Mega Man RPG Prototype Leaderboard

I suggested in previous SNC's that Rain Flush's Attack power should've ust been weakened significantly instead of doing what it now does. An RF with an Attack of *1* would seriously be better than this. =(

Well, this one went a lot smoother. Thanks, Tails.

Next up, an apple a day will keep him away...we HOPE. Newest Prototype Staffer and W-Tank, TheDoc will take 15 of your suggestions, now.

Yeah, my niece turns 8 on May 15, and stuff. her Birthday party was being set up at her house, and my sis and her fiancé didn't wanna spoil it, so, they're having me babysit her util then. They come by to pick her up for school, but, then, they bring her right back. As usual, I get paid for it, so, 'no' isn't an option. :P

It's finally done though: 20 Questions About.....ZeroDXZ, 5/13/15

Next up, HE CAN FLY! To the top of the Leaderboard! TWICE.

TailsMK4 is up next. Suggest away.

4/19/15's semblance of an SNC.

This is basically what happens when I sleep completely through an SNC. :P

@TailsMK4 : who called my name?

How come Mega Water S doesn't have 200 Health, by the way? He has 56 HP when you fight him, officially, no?

That said, we could talk about the MM8 bots having 142 Health, too, as they have 40 HP [1 3/7 what a RM usually has], officially. That should shake up their stats a bit.

Rhythm got Rhythm (with 15 Community Questions!).

Count down with me: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.....




ZERO.....DXZ!

Suggest, please.

20 Questions About.....ThatOneEnderMan.



Next up, He's a spriter, he's a moderator, he's an artist, he's a wizard with Perler beads, he makes his own comic, and he has RHYTHM! :P

Your next subject? Rhythm_BCA. Suggestions, please.

Ender's chosen his 10. Pastebin to come as soon as he answers mine.

@MegaBossMan:
@MetaKirbSter : Oh, I'm imagining it, all right.....xP

Meta's interview is pastebinned in the opening post. I'll allow comments on it in here as long as you are nice. Please note that I know the answers are short, that's why I've added 2 new rules to the opening post: "Also, if I choose you as a subject, assume that "I don't know"s are NOT acceptable answers, and that the person asking wants to know WHY you chose that answer."

That said, next subject is ThatOneEnderMan, a guy with a Minecraft-based name who happens to be pro at a Mega Man RPG. Ask him what you want, just don't stare at him, or, he'll warp to where you are and knock off 1/3 your health by touching you. :P

Suggest away.

Meta's chosen his 10. I've already sent him a PM with his 20 Q's. Pastebinned answers to come when he's done. Thanks, fellows.

The first subject for "20 Questions About....." happens to be 10.75-year-old Meta[Kirbster]. Which questions have you always wanted to ask this young Prototype semi-phenom?

@Tobyjoey : To your response to Subject 3: With the Held Items mechanic, everyone pretty much becomes a Copy-type bot all at the same time, and DIVERSITY is what's needed, here.

To your response to Subject 4: Nono, I said nothing about them SHARING Items, only that Items, Abilities and Fields are SPLIT between them--That is, Auto has ~1/3 of them, Reggae has another ~1/3, and Kalinka has the last ~1/3, so that none of them become useless quicker than the other 2.

Also, you said that, "It doesn't prevent excessive item usage for younger players or collectathon-mentalities for more experienced players", ...and that's the problem, T.J.: It's too easy and predictable that way. Find a hard battle? Farm money, buy a bunch of Extra Lives and Yashichis, and then, spam the heck out of them. Battle won. Remember, there's currently no plans to cost you a turn for using an Item, so buying 99 Extra Lives and/or Yashichis for a battle is basically a guaranteed win. That'd be ridiculous.
Also, to try to make a battle OUT of spamming Extra Lives and Yashichis would be more of a chore than any form of fun, and fighting even the most powerfully awesome optional Boss in any game can be both very difficult AND very fun, at the same time, so why not make it so without still treating people like they're kiddies still learning how the game works, you know?

There's a Rule #8, now. I'm pretty much completely responsible for it. Sorry.

Yeah, unless there's things that the Adrian isn't telling us. x)

Guess who deleted all of the double and triple spacing? BY HAND?

Where there were 1,322 lines, there's now only 988. Enjoy. Sunday Night Chatroom 2015/04/12

...oh, and thank me next time you see me.

You forgot to mention that new rules are subject to be added at any time, and that it's our responsibility to keep up with them [you'll also need to bump whenever a new rule is posted, too].

So, I did some counting and stuff.

Currently.....

Jupiter is... Electric/Wind
Mars is... Flame/Missile [Should be Explode/Missile, as he doesn't actually have any Flame moves; almost every move he has results in explosions, not flames. :P]
Mercury is... Freeze/Crystal [Should be either Copy/Shadow, Copy/Water or Shadow/Water, as he's made of liquid metal (Water) and can steal the HP (Shadow) and abilities (Copy) of others]
Neptune is... Earth/Water [Should be Impact/Water, as he has no Earth moves, and uses his weight, more than the earth; Guts Man isn't an Earth-Type, right?]
Pluto is... Impact/Swift [Should be Missile/Swift, as he does have homing missiles. Plus 3 of the Droids are already Impact-type.]
Saturn is... Shadow/Impact [Should be Shadow/Time, as he can freeze time, and he has a ring which doubles as a freaking BLACK HOLE (doesn't get much more Shadowy than that].]
Sunstar is... Flame/Time [Should be Flame/Explode, as he has no time freezing moves; everything he has concerns either flames or blowing things up.]
Terra is... Electric/Laser
Uranus is... Earth/Impact
Venus is... Explode/Water

Types currently represented by the Droids:
Copy: 0
Crystal: 1 [Mercury]
Cutter: 0
Earth: 2 [Neptune, Uranus]
Electric: 2 [Jupiter, Terra]
Explode: 1 [Venus]
Flame: 2 [Mars, Sunstar]
Freeze: 1 [Mercury]
Impact: 3 [Pluto, Saturn, Uranus]
Laser: 1 [Terra]
Missile: 1 [Mars]
Nature: 0
Neutral: 0
Shadow: 1 [Saturn]
Shield: 0
Space: 0
Swift: 1 [Pluto]
Time: 1 [Sunstar]
Water: 2 [Neptune, Venus]
Wind: 1 [Jupiter]

Tiny spelling fix to Rule #10.

Also, both yours truly AND your friendly neighborhood MegaBossMan came up with the new Rule #11. Enjoy.

Oh, and obviously, The Doc is a Prototype Mod, now, so, he's a Mod in the Xat, as well. Don't **** him off.

Oh, Fudge, Doc's a Mod, too? We have, like, a STAFF, now. Awesome. x)

@Adrian Marceau : I think I'll address this during the SNC this coming Sunday [4/11].

Fair warning: heads will be forced to stop staring at clouds.

I'll be here, as always, though, also as always, I shouldn't be counted on for Pastebinning. x)

Also--just noticed this--the opening post says 7:00 pm, instead of 6:00.

@Bt Man : It seems to have happened somtime between last week's SNC meeting and now, so at the very most, it's a week old.

I'd say that makes me a newbie compared to Adrian, Boss, Rhythm and Spin. :P

WHOA. A.....THING happened while I was away. I seem to have mysteriously gotten ahold of an Energy Capsule.

most regulars no doubt know this, but, I though I'd come and announce it; Adrian has made yours truly a contributor, so, it's official, I'm not just a CHAT Mod, anymore.

You have been warned. Have a nice day.

Good news!

It turns out that some of Xat's games actually WORK!

...you have to be in a Private Chat with the person you want to play with, is all.

I can confirm that Connect 4 works almost flawlessly; played 7 games last night with Shadownnico [beat him 3-0] and Phoenix Wright [beat him 3-1].

Chess and Pool work, too, but, not quite as flawlessly.

Game on. Maybe we can have tournament-like stuff later on in the future, once I confirm more working games.

EDIT [3 hrs, 15 min later]: False alarm. Connect 4 is the only game that fully functions. Pool and and Chess work, but, they're broken as heck; Pool doesn't recognize who sank which balls, and Chess doesn't even recognize whose turn it is; you can even move nay piece anywhere to capture an enemy piece at will--even the King.

So, yeah, only Connect 4 works. Sorry. Special thanks to MetaKirbster, Phoenix Wright and ThatOneEnderman for helping me to confirm this.

Rule 10 now just explains the fastest way to use a custom avatar in the Xat. Thank me later. :P

The tiniest [and more meaningless] of grammatical revisions have been made to rules 1, 3, 4, 5 and 7.

There's also a Rule 10, now, concerning custom avatars. Please read.

And it only took you almost 10 months. :P

Seriously, though, nice work.

Well, I remember him being weak against the Junk Shield in the first Arcade game, so, that's Earth-type [and Shield-type], which would make sense, seeing as how a fast car gets bogged down if it goes off road [into muddy Earth]. :P

Hey, Adrian. Guess why I have to point out every mathematical error you ever do concerning programming Prototype? :P

In all seriousness, though, I challenge your ideas not to be an annoying _________, but, because someone has to. This game should turn out as well as it possibly can with as few errors and overkilling features as possible; You, good sir, deserve that, without needing to find out later that you have a lot ***MORE*** things to fix, you know?

You keep churning out the ideas, and I'll keep making sure they don't work [or do work if my math says so. I promise]. :P

Thanks, Adrian. A lot.

At the risk of peeving some peeps off, I have to join in on this one.

Currently, I run Super Mario Bros. 3, Mega Man Battle Network 3, Pokémon Conquest, Shadow The Hedgehog, and Custom Robo.

You KNOW I'll be in the Xat waiting. I'd just host the darn thing if more than me and one other person would show.

That said, Adrian sometimes relays things/information/questions to ask the rest of us/possible future features to Boss [what with Boss being the #2 guy on the site], but Boss can't tell us anything if no one shows up. We need *AT LEAST* 4 people to have an actual MEETING, here, folks. We need you. Please.

We meet up in the Xat at around 5:30-ish [Eastern] before the actual meeting at 6:00 [or 6:30 if not enough people are in by 6:00]. Please join us? Pretty please?

@The Zion : In my opinion, there are 2 top-notch ways to show that you are a good enough spriter for the Prototype:

The first--and in my opinion, the better of the two--is to create a thread in the General section showcasing some of your more impressive works. If you can wow the regular members enough that they post positively and often enough, you'll likely get the attention of the Community staffers [the most active ones are MegaBossMan, Spinstrike and Rhythm_BCA, currently], and if you get THEIR attention, and they like your works, they'll be sure to try to get your creations seen by Adrian Marceau, the programmer and creator of Prototype, and if HE likes your work, BOOM! You're most likely in.

If you're shy, though, you can go to the profile of any of the 3 above staffers and PM [Private Message] them links to your stuff. This is slightly less reliable than the first way, though, as all 3 of them--ESPECIALLY Rhythm--are busy, BUSY fellows.

In either case, make sure you show ONLY your BEST NES-style MM sprites. The BEST. If you show up with disappointing sprites, prepare to receive disappointing judgments.

Good luck.

First website suggestion of 2015? Sure, I'll take it.

Technically, it's not 2 months old, yet, so, it doesn't TECHNICALLY qualify as necroposting. Plus, it's an extremely valid and logical suggestion, too, I believe.

We ended up doing a lot more discussing than idea-giving, this week. It was a pretty nice change of pace.

Enjoy. Sunday Night Chatroom 1/25/2015

Those rules need their own stickied thread in the WORST way. There's also the matter of noting who the Admins and Mods are.

Shall I get to work? :P

I'd like to reiterate in case people didn't pay attention to Retro.

SEND YOUR VOTE IN A PERSONAL MESSAGE TO EITHER RETRO PIKACHU, MEGABOSSMAN, DAROACH OR MYSELF. DON'T COMMENT YOUR VOTE IN THIS THREAD.

Feel free to make actual comments or questions here, though.

Thank you. :)

It's like Mikey and proper punctuation, boi. :P

Barring an Adrian/Rhythm/Spinstrike/Reisrat showing, I'll probably be hosting [and pastebinning] this thing if Boss either doesn't make it or has to leave in the middle of it.

Needless to say, I'll be there.

@Daroach : Hasn't been decided yet. That'll be on the 19th, according to Retro's schedule in the thread post.

@Retro Pikachu : Why not just have this third one use all 10, then? With a different audience and a different time, it can very well mean different results. :P

@MegaBossMan : Retro said in Post #3 that the categories are the same 5 in the in the previous topic's thread; that would be "Favorite RM", "Favorite Type", "Favorite Classic Series Weapon", "Favorite Ability" and "Favorite Classic Series Stage".

Nothing about music in there, buddy. :P

Could I suggest "Favorite Classic Game", "Favorite Stage Music" and "Favorite RM To Fight" categories?

Been turned in mine. I do have a question, though: Exactly how many categories will there be to vote in?

*the SUNDAY Chats will resume.

@tobyjoey : Uhhhhhhhh, T.J.? You accidentally dropped an S-bomb, there, my friend. :P

@MerryBossMan, Adrian Marceau and ThatOneFrostMan : This only makes things worse.

50.5% of 375,000 damage [189,375] is even WORSE than 1% of 750,000 damage [7,500]. Nothing's balanced, nothing's even, and in the case of the indestructible Dark Spires, nothing's unbroken--you have so many different variables; as Field Support, Field Multipliers, Robot Weaknesses, Resistances and Immunities, Ability accuracies, Critical Hits, the fact that obtainable Neutral attacks HAVE no multiplier [or Star Force] support, and are therefore always weak, the list goes on and on.

There's so many ways to go around a Dark Spire to attack a group of enemies and/or a boss that it's not even funny, and 49.5% defense against even 15,000 damage [which is obtainable even WITHOUT Star Force if you know what you're doing] STILL kills any playable robot currently in Prototype.

If the Star Force are gonna be in Prototype, can the Star Force just be placeholders [Items that do nothing], at least for the time being until you 'figure out another way to make them unbroken'? The game's already broken enough as it is, what with us being able to OHKO 9999'ed out bots, along with the massive breaking of stats, the insane EXP boosts [making 9999 exp per battle even easier to achieve].

Also, again, there's nothing Adrian can do to Coreforce [besides the obvious thing] that *doesn't* make it either too useless or too broken: if it blocks 49.5%, it's much too low, if it's 99%, it's still not enough, and if it's 99*.99*%, it'd be too much.

No part of this 'trinity' keeps the other 2 in check enough to be anything other than extremely broken or extremely useless.

You showoff. :P

Also, you've already beaten Cossack's story, haven't you? o_O
