Spinstrike | Mega Man RPG Prototype Leaderboard

Hey pals, it's me, Spinstrike! Yep, I'm back, and just in time for the new update! So, here are my thoughts:

Chapter 1: The first chapter definitely has the most changes, at least on a superficial level. Sniper Joe was a neat addition, but I think Trill could be toned down a bit to provide a better transition to the Robot Master battles.

Chapter 2: Same as before, at least at first. The Sigma battles were a bit of a surprise, but they were a great challenge for postgame play.

Chapter 3: Like Meta said, the increasing difficulty for the rival battles is great for grinding. A little tougher than I remember.

Chapter 4: See Chapter 2.

Chapter 5: Enker and the Copy Bots are a bit tougher than I remember. They are the game's "final bosses" at the moment, so that makes sense.

Bonus Chapter: The addition of Mets, Sniper Joes, and the Copy Core robots was a nice touch, and I can assume the support trio are there as well. The difficulty hasn't changed that much, though.

By the way, does anyone now how to access Robot skins? They're not in the shop, and I haven't been able to unlock them via grinding.

Anyone remember this thread? Just me? Aw, well. There isn't a chat tonight, so I may as well take the time to post a few headcannons I've had lying around for a while.

o Metal Man is a skilled mechanic, and Wily often tasks him with repairing the other Robot Masters after Rock roughs them up. He isn't very gentle, though, and his bedside manner is lacking...
o Heat Man and Crash Man are best buddies. They hang out a lot on and off duty, and Heat is usually the one to calm Crash down whenever he gets riled up.
o After the events of Mega Man 4, Dr. Cossack employs Skull Man as a sort of lab assistant/butler/bodyguard. Oh, and as a babysitter and playmate for Kalinka.
o Proto Man is more musical than he lets on. Besides his trademark whistle, he's composed quite a few tunes while wandering the Earth. Whenever he visits Cossack Citadel, he and the similarly-minded Toad Man get together for a jam session or two.
o Fire Man enjoys watching reruns of Gunsmoke and old John Wayne westerns.
o Plug Man's favorite anime is Cowboy Bebop, followed closely by Space Dandy.
o Top Man is a total nerd for 70's-80's pop music, and has a ton of old-school tape decks in his quarters in Wily Castle. Magnet Man regularly scrambles them with stray electromagnetic pulses, much to Top's dismay.
o Rock is a rabid FIFA fan, especially when World Cup season rolls around(he always roots for Japan, of course). Mega Man's Soccer is the result of Bomb Man spiking one of Rock's E-Tanks during a particularly wild victory party.
o Guts Man isn't as thick-headed as his brothers think. He actually has incredible knowledge in civil engineering and classical architecture.

I know this doesn't exactly pertain to RP, but it is a formatting question, so...

Does anyone know how to post pictures directly from the web? Without saving them to your computer, I mean.

Well I, for one, think the update is coming along nicely. This "Dark Spires" thing actually seems like a nice idea. Though they look a bit familiar. Almost like I know them from somewhere....wait...

Uh-oh.

Uh-oh.

(OOC: Ah, but the Vorpal Pen uses printer's ink, which according to its MSD Sheet, does indeed pose a fire hazard.)

Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas to everyone here on the Prototype! Santastrike is here to deliver Christmas cheer! I know it's a little early for gifts, but here's a little something for you all!

@MetaKibSter: Hey, don't be a tuna-head. xColdxFusionx is a good guy, and this is no way to greet him after he's been gone for so long. Plus, I made this thread, so I'm a tad offended. >:(

Well…that certainly could have gone better.
Maybe if someone had stuck to the plan instead of running off and picking fights…
Hmph. Of course you’d blame me for your own strategically blunders. It’s not like our “fearless leader” had much of a plan anyhow…
Disco has a point, Air Man. Your arrogance is troubling.
Yeah, you’ve being a huge prick!
…
…what?
You know, it’s times like these that make me wish that I was the commander of this unit instead of that imbecile Liquid. Telsa knows why the Master placed him in charge.
Ahem. Gah! How did you-erm, I mean-
Boss, you’re alive!
[ But how did you survive?]{crystal }
That is of little importance now. There are more pressing matters at hand. Such as these two…
Ugh! Let us go, you creep!
You’re gonna pay for trashing my pad, jerk!
Wood Man, Needle Man, would you be so kind as to deal with these prisoners?
Yes, sir!

[OOC: Whelp, here it is! My latest chapter in a long, long time!]
What’s our status?
They’ve got us pinned down, boss! Er—no pun intended…
There are simply too many of them. I suggest we fall back.
Too many? Pah! Step aside, cowards!
Sir, I don’t—Sir!
*Liquid rushes off to the front line.*There he is!
Ribbit! Blast him, quickly!
I’ve got him in my sights!
Show no quarter, friends!
Heh…you fools have no idea who you’re dealing with, do you? Let’s see how you handle my true power!Top…Spi-oof!
Got ‘im!

@Btman: Sorry I've taken so long! I've been pretty busy these last few months, so I haven't had much time to post. I'll have my next scene up by tonight.

I know it's past Halloween, but I just can't get [Ghosts by Mystery Skulls](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlEb3L1PIco) out of my head! It's probably one of the catchiest techno-pop tunes I've heard in a long while. Fair warning, though: I'd rate this song T for a single F-bomb (though it's a bit hard to make out unless you're looking for it), implied dismemberment, and some major feels near the end. Oh, and spectral fire pompadours.

If it's tonight, I can't come. I've got a school play!

(OOC: Welcome back, Chaos!)

"Beg pardon sir, but-ack!" Print Man blurted as Knight's blow forcibly dismounted him from the Iron Horse. However, his left foot remained stuck in the stirrup, leaving the author-bot to be dragged about the chamber. Barley maintaining his grasp on his Vorpal Pen , Print Man let loose a stream of ink from the tip of the blade, tripping the pursing Knight and leaving him covered in the slimy black liquid. "Would someone-oof!-mind igniting-arugh!-that puddle?" Print Man stuttered amidst the flurry of kicks from the unruly Iron Horse.

So, Trill is finally getting sprites? And we'll finally be able to kick his but? Sweet!

Welcome aboard, RaynorX! I usually go by Spinstrike, but I've rebranded renamed myself Spookstrike for the Halloween season. If you wanna talk, feel free to stop by the chatroom.

Cheers, Tails! Here's to having the best 24 year-old ever right here on our forum!

Quick idea for a quiz: which Mega Man-inspired band do you prefer, The Megas or The Protomen? Do you like both? Or maybe someone else entirely...?

What about the Sega Games? You had Wily Wars (which was basically the first three plus the Wily Tower minigame) and the Game Gear title (sort of a mish-mash of elements of 4 and 5).

Wow, MBM, these look good! Can't say I have any more ideas, though-

Step aside, brother!

Liquid? I thought I-hey, give me back my laptop!

Silence! And as for you, the man who dares to share the name of our father...I command you to created an alternate skin for that idiot Top Man based off myself!

He's not going to listen to you, y'know. And what's your obsession with Top Man, anyway?

Oh, you'll find out soon enough...

(OOC: Well screw you, CHAOS! I'm going to make my own RP thread! With blackjack and hookers!

Just kidding, I understand completely. I'll be picking up the new Smash this weekend. But I am trying to put together an RP thread similar to yours. Any tips for a first-timer like me?)

Hurray for posting on your own threads! Anyhow, here are my ideas...

-Pharaoh Man: A Ruby-Spears cartoon themed palate. Sweet cape and uppercuts not included.
-Ice Man: A dark blue palate. Another, albeit subtle, Ruby-Spears reference.
-Hard Man: A red, white, and blue palate. A nice Rocky 4 reference, in response to this.
-(Solid) Snake Man: A palate based off any of Metal Gear's Snakes (maybe one of Naked Snake's camo patterns from Snake Eater?) Why? Because puns, that's why.
-Heat Man: A silver palate, similar to a Zippo lighter. Might snag us a lawsuit, but we should be fine as long as we don't drop any names.

"Join the Nintendo Fun Club today, Mac MegaBoss!"

But seriously, once I get my mitts on it, that code will be all yours. :D

Seizing the opportunity Gamble Man had so generously provided, Print Man ripped a strip of cloth from a half-burnt banner. Taking a end in each hand, he wrapped it around a nearby column and pulled himself up with it, gaining an excellent vantage point over the battle. "Steady...steady..." Print Man muttered to himself as he heard the cloth begin to tear.

He didn't have to hold on for long. Soon enough, Insanity Man barreled toward the pillar he was desperately clutching to, prompting Knight's steed to knock him away yet again. Just before it could return to the engagement, Print Man leapt from his perch and landed atop the distracted mount. He scrambled for the reins as the iron horse attempted to buck him off its back.

[OOC: @MegaBossMan Er, not to be a tool, but don't you remember what Chaos said about god-modding NPCs?]

"Brave knight, I accept you challenge!" cried Print Man, "Have at thee!" He lunged forward, blinding Knight with a spray of ink from his Vorpal Pen before delivering a powerful slash straight to his breastplate.

Ducking behind a pillar to evade Knight's charge, Print Man took a moment to strategize. A knight on horseback...just as I theorized!" He thought to himself. "If King's challenges are chess-themed, and we've already seen a Pawn and a Knight, next will be a Rook, a Bishop, a Queen, and finally...a King. The King, no doubt."

"But back to the situation at hand. If my studies of medieval literature have taught me anything, it's that plate armor was bulky and difficult to maneuver in on foot. If a strong enough blow can forcibly dismount that fiend, he'll be a sitting duck while we bombard him from afar!"

Print Man's musings were interrupted as Knight battered through the pillar he was taking cover behind. Scrambling back to his allies, Print Man unsheathed his Vorpal Pen and prepared for battle.

"Bass...?"
"Dude, it's Base!"

For those who don't get the refrence...

I'd just like to say that "Mint Ice Man" is the most adorable thing I've heard all day. All the alts should have cute little nicknames. :)

Yeah, I know. But I'm just so excited!

I don't mean to be pushy, but...any idea when this is coming out?

My, those variants are looking lovely!

Say, is that Bond Man and Fake Man I spy?

Getting to his feet, Print Man dusted off his coat and sheathed his sword. "Well, that could have gone over better" he grumbled. He briefly surveyed the scene around him before turning to Gamble Man. "I suppose we ought to be on our way. As for what's ahead, I have a few theories. But there are no secrets that time does not reveal, as Racine said."

Sorry I missed the chat. I had some friends over.

"Cowards!" Print Man shouted as Pawn once again slugged him in the jaw. He reeled backwards, stumbling into a rose bush. Seething in fury, he tore up the bush and hurled it towards the fiery fiend.

Print Man snaps his fingers. "Ah, I've got it! A combination attack!" Targeting the leaf-summoning Pawn, he let off a barrage from his Pencil Buster. "Mr. Mage, if you would be so kind as to ignite those?"

Hiding Observing from behind the cover of the hedge rows, Print Man called out to Mage Man: "Watch yourself, Mr. Mage! It seems these ruffians can replicate anything we use against them! Tenfold, even!"

Hey, MegaBossMan!! A happy birthday to the bossiest guy I know! Wait, that doesn't sound right...

The torrent of water flung Print Man across the courtyard, dropping him onto a hedge row. Seething in fury, he armed his Pencil Buster and targeted the Pawn in the fountain. But after pausing for a moment, he instead shot at the base of the statue of King atop the fountain, casing it to fall onto the hapless Pawn bellow.

"Check and mate." grinned Print Man.

Before Print Man could rejoin the rest of the party, the two Pawns he had knocked away leap up and grasped him by the coat and punning him down. Landing on his bottom, he retaliated by swiftly kicking both Pawns; one landed in a hedge row a few meters away, while the other was knocked into the fountain halfway across the courtyard. The former got right back up and rushed towards him, only to be met with a hail of shots from his Pencil Buster.

"Who's the comic relief now, eh?"

[OOC: Sorry, CHAOS. :(]

"'Comic relief'? Why, I never!" Print Man exclaimed as he suddenly got to his feet. Drawing his Vorpal Pen, he knocked away both Pawns with a well-placed slice.

Spitting the dirt from his mouth, he took a moment to examine his surroundings. The beautiful courtyard had been thrown into disarray, with several shrubs uprooted and a few on fire. An elegant fountain stood in the middle of the chaos, topped by a shield-bearing statue of King. Normally, Print Man would have taken a moment to awe at its beauty.

But now was not the time. "We'll see who's the real comic relief!" cried Print Man as he rushed into battle.

"T-that wasn't what I meant by a plan!" exclaimed Print Man as he and the rest of the party chased after Insanity Man. The massive doors slammed shut behind them, knocking Print Man on his face.

"True, true." conceded Print Man. "But was it not Pope who said 'Fools rush in where angels fear to tread'?"

Print Man spoke up. "Well, we ought to have some sort of plan. Who knows what this King fellow has in store for us? He did mention something about other robots, but other than that..."

Panting heavily, Print Man stumbled toward the rest of the party. Not the most athletic of robots, he’d been lagging behind for most of the journey. It was just his luck that King had installed an anti-teleportation field around his tower, probably to keep out any unwanted visitors. He hadn't heard much of the gatekeeper robot’s speech, but he’d heard enough to know the robots he’d been traveling with in stony silence for the last few hours were now his only allies.

Print Man looked about at the three other robots in front of him. The first was the tallest of the bunch, casting a massive shadow over his smaller compatriots. A purple, armadillo-like shell almost half his size hung from his back, and a devilish smirk crossed his face. The second was much stouter, with a bright orange hull decorated with red and black markings, much like those of playing card suits. His expression was blank, but it was clear he was carefully observing everyone around him. The last was what appeared to be a mechanical iteration of a high fantasy wizard, complete with a robe, pointed cap, and staff. He sat in a meditative stance, legs crossed and eyes closed.

After a full minute of silence, Print Man dusted off his coat, adjusted his beret, cleared his throat, and began to speak.

“Afternoon, gentlemen. Seems like we’re together in all this, so like that gatekeeper fellow said, we may as well get acquainted.”

Silence.

“…guess I’ll go first, then. The name’s Print Man; I’m an author. I trust some of you are familiar with my work? Not that it matters now, what with the situation at hand.”

More silence. This time accompanied by razor-sharp glares.

“Erm…anyone else care to introduce themselves?”

Mega Man! Use Hyper Bomb again!

Not really a formatting thing, but I'd just like to get some publicity for CHAOS_FANTAZY's RP thread. Check it out!

I'll switch to Mega Man and use Hyper Bomb!

@Mikey765000 Welcome to the forum, Mike!

Yeah, X7 stinks. I wish that game would just BURN BURN TO THE GROUND! Er, excuse me.

Thanks! I know King isn't exactly a tyrant (what with him being Wily's pawn and all), but it was the best phrase I could think off.

Also, "fattling gun". Use spellcheck, kids.

Here’s my entry. I might tweak it a bit, though. And here's a song for your listening pleasure; I think it suits the character quite well.

“A gauntlet, eh? This is exactly what I need for my next book! I’ll make those fools tremble before the power of literature!”

Entry Fourm
Name: Print Man
Designation: MPN. (Monsteropolis Publishers Number) 012

Background:
Print Man was one of many robots charged with the operation and patience of printing presses of a major publishing company. Soon after his activation, he grew tired of printing the writings of others and wished to express his own creativity. Eventually, he quit his job and decided to write his own book. Print Man spent several years in isolation, all spent on creating his “masterpiece”. Entitled Oil and Ink, it was a “true-life drama” about a robot who quits his job at a print-shop and writes a best-selling novel.

The latter cannot be said of Print Man: Oil and Ink sold an astounding seven copies and made its author less than a hundred zenny. He immediately became the laughingstock of both Monsteropolis his former company. Publicly humiliated and out of a job, Print Man sunk into a deep depression. He frequented oil bars, drowning his sorrows in E-Tanks while sharing his woes with anyone who would listen. He still wrote, becoming a freelance writer for some of Monsteropolis’ independent literary journals.

Upon hearing of King’s Gambit, Print Man had a glimmer of hope. If he could defeat the tin-plated tyrant’s challenge, he would have the story of a lifetime! A thrilling tale of swashbuckling adventure would be a perfect page-turner! Print Man immediately set out for King’s Tower, his mind adrift in thoughts of riches and fame…

Weapons/Abilities:
Having little to know combat experience before hearing word of King’s challenge, Print Man raced to assemble a makeshift arsenal. Remembering the old adage of “The pen is mightier than the sword”, he combined the two instruments into one lethal device. Dubbed the “Vorpal Pen”, this weapon can disorient Print Man’s opponents with industrial-grade printing ink, leaving them wide open for a lethal slash. For ranged combat, Print Man relies on the “Pencil Buster”, a pencil-styled gattling gun that fires finely-sharpened tungsten points (resembling the graphite tips of pencils).

Personality:
Print Man is extremely talkative, capable of waxing on about a single subject (usually his own work) for hours. His long seclusion has made him rather awkward in public; while his writing may be eloquent, he is not. He has also known to dabble in theater, having acted in several local productions of R. U. R. prior to his entry into the Gauntlet. He reveres the authors, poets, and playwrights of days gone by like gods among men, quoting them whenever he sees fit. Print Man enjoys spending his afternoons libraries and bookstores, but despises “lesser publications” such as romance novels and tabloids.

Appearance:
Print Man has a humanoid design that calls Crash Man, Flash Man, and Magnet Man to mind, albeit in a dirty white. He conceals himself beneath a trench coat and “artistic” beret. His left hand holds his Vorpal Pen, while his right is an emplacement for his Pencil Buster.

Accepted!

@CHAOS_FANTSY Yeah, because the Mega Man series never had any [gratuitous violence, ridiculous story-lines, or barbaric writing. Except that one time...

In all fairness, though, I respect your opinion. The RP fourm can get a little crazy sometimes, but maybe someday, it can become something beautiful.

Disco's all mine!
I'll deal with the pinhead!

(OOC: I'd just like to apologize for not posting in a while. I knocked over my laptop and busted the hardrive, so until I can fix it/get a new one, I'm stuck with my old one. Big thanks to BtMan for keeping my plot up and running!)

"Adrian has ended the evil domination of Capcom and restored Mega Man to his former glory. However, the never ending development cycle continues until all destructive glitches are defeated. Program, Adrian! For everlasting updates!"

Alt costumes? Sweet! Will they be added to the game itself? Will there be more alts on the way?

@Shadowinco Thanks, but would you mind providing a list or chart of some sort?

To settle this whole "Two Shadow Men" debacle, I'm just going to change my Shadow Man into Metal Man. Btman is free to use the original Shadow Man.

EDIT: Hey, MBM, would you mind editing that old post of yours that featured my plotline and replace Shadow Man with Metal Man?

Also, I can't seem to place any frame for Super Arm other than the first nine. A little help, please?

(OOC: @Megabossman It's "Liquid Spinstrike", not "Liquid Top Man". I'd also like to temporarily reserve the members of TOPHOUND (Air Man, Wood Man, Crystal Man, Disco, and Shadow Man) until the end of Liquid's story arc.)

Uh…do I know you? Are you one of those door-to-door salespeople?
Don’t try to fool me! This time, I will prove that I am the superior clone!
Clone? You’re not making any sense!
Sense is for weak-willed fools who are ignorant of their genes!
How can we have genes? We’re robots!
Silence! The time for battle is now! Have at you, Spinstrike!
Spinstrike? Listen, buddy, you’ve got the wrong guy! The name’s Top Man, alright? Top Man!
Ha! Do you really think I’m that gullible? I know you went into retirement after our last battle, so I’ve been keeping tabs on you ever since!
Doesn’t that count as stalking? I’m pretty sure that’s illegal.
What? N-no! This is completely-aurgh, you’re trying to distract me! Enough pointless blabbering! Prepare to meet our father…in hell! Not so fast, buster! If you wanna get to Top Man, you’ll have to get through us first!
Indignant brat! You dare to defy the mighty Liquid Spinstrike?
You got it! If you think a missile’s enough to stop us, you’re dreaming!
The odds of your victory are 3,720 to one. Surrender while you still have time.
And while you’re at it, change out of that gaudy outfit! Trench coats are so last season!
“Liquid Spinstrike”? Where’s “Bose-Einstein Condensate Spinstrike”, eh?
Five against one? That’s far from far, brother. Allow me to even the odds.
Five familiar robots teleport in… TOPHOUND…destroy these interlopers! They must not interfere with the master’s plan!
You got it, boss!

I always found Crash Man the easiest boss in Mega Man 2. Sure, Metal Man and Air Man go down quicker with the Mega Buster, but at least they can score a few hits on me. Crash Man? Not so much. He may look intimidating, but once you get his pattern down, he's a cakewalk. Shoot at him to make him jump, jump over his Crash Bomb and get clear of its blast radius, then shoot Crash as comes down. Air Shooter makes him even more pathetic; if you're lucky, you can use it to kill him in one hit! Even then, 2-3 hits is still pathetic.

*cough* Yellow Devil *cough* Mega Man 1 *cough*

So, what's on the agenda for tonight?

Meanwhile, at Top Man' groovalicious pad...
Thanks for letting us use your greenhouse to fix Sargent Man, Top Man. What with the lab being wrecked and all…
No problemo! You guys can crash here as long as you like. So, is the Sarge fixed yet?
Not yet. We’re still recalibrating his CPU. Not to mention the wiring for his core, the Killers really did a number on it.
His leg suspension could use some lubricant, too.
And all those dents and scorch marks! Absolutely hideous! Not to mention he’s in dire need of a polishing!
Before we do anything, we should disarm his buster. That amount of munitions could blow everyone here to kingdom come!
Right, right, good luck with that. Good point, Time Man. Now, we have to be extremely careful not to-
Erm…Roll?
Not now, Jewel Man. As I was saying, we have to avoid detonating the-
Roll, I think you should see this…
I’m sure it can wait until later, Jewel Man. Hand me that laser scalpel, Time Man. This has to be a percison-
[ It can’t wait. Just look over here.
Jewel Man, if you want me to clean the oil stains off your armor again, I swear to Asimov I’ll-
[ Roll, you need to look at this. Now.
Fine, I’ll look! But next time, don’t expect me to-what the…get down!
KA-BLAM!!! Ugh…what was that?
I feel like the floor of a taxi cab…
Oh, my beautiful armor! It’s ruined! *sob*
I’m back! Sorry I took so long, Tama wanted some belly rubs and- sweet jumping Tezuka! Everything’s trashed! I leave you guys alone for five minutes and
this is what happens!?
That looked like a missile. But who shot at us?
That would have been me. So you’re the one who wrecked all my stuff! Just who do you think you are?
My, my. I know I haven’t seen you in years, but I thought you would at least recognize me… …dear brother!

The reception's still a tad spotty. Maybe if I hook up my Mirror Buster to the transceiver, we could use it as an antenna.
Blah, blah, blah! When do we get to kill those stupid Light 'bots?
All in due time, Punk. Now, help hold my lance straight while I adjust the signal
Whatever...
Haehaey! Hae!
Eh? What the bloody hell is that thing?
A Pyre Fly! We've been spotted!
Haeeeeey!
Think it's one of Light's?
No, the Pyre Fly is a Cossack model. Which can only mean that Cossack and his robots are looking for us as well.
Ha! More tin cans to crush!
This is serious, you nitwit! Looks like that Pyre Fly flew off while we were talking. It's probably reporting to Cossack right now.
Just help me set up the transmission, and then we'll rendezvous with the others.
Killjoy...

Meanwhile, at the Legion of Doom the Killer's even more secret base...

Alright, this looks like a decent spot. Quint, have you finished reprogramming those mining robots we found?
It might take a bit. I'm not exactly familiar with these models.
Damn, we're cutting it close! Mega Man's allies probably are on their way here by now.
Punk, follow me up to the surface. We need to contact the master, and the comm signal down here's garbage.
Ballade, you stay here and cover Quint until he can get those robots working.
You got it, boss.
If we spot Mega-dweeb's looser friends, we'll bash their heads in!
: Eloquent as always, Punk. Now let's go, time is of the essence.

Meanwhile, at the Mega Man Killer's (And Quint's) secret hideout...

Mwha ha ha! Everything's going according to my brilliant plan!
Hey! It was my plan to begin with! You guys never would have been able to break into Light Labs without my knowledge of the security system!
Yeah, and we wouldn't have accidentally scrapped the wrong 'bot! So shut up, pogo-boy!
Pogo-boy?! Like you're any more dignified, you Sex Pistols reject!
Both of you, shut up! Ballade, how's your force field holding up?
I don't have a lot of energy left. We might have to find some permenant holdings for our...guests. This construction site's pretty isolated, so there should be
plenty of good spots.

In the year 200X...er, 20XX...

Even as Mega Man and his mechanical compatriots struggle to escape the Prototype and defeat the mysterious Slur, life goes on. Between battles, the Robot Masters and Mistresses can always find an unused field lying about to shoot the breeze and have a few E-Tanks.

After being snubbed for the enigmatic MegaBossMan's first annual "Best Original Robot Master" award, Bomb Man sought to drown his sorrows the only way he knew how: high-powered explosives. Bomb Man and his Explode-type pals got together to chuck a few bombs around and vent their frustrations. However, Bass, under the guise of Proto Man, corrupted the group's intentions and tricked them into nearly obliterating the Prototype in order to lure Mega Man into yet another "final confrontation".

Mega Man caught wind of the "Bomb Gang"'s scheme while attempting to join their group. With the aid of the first generation robot masters (sans Bomb Man), Top Man, the newcomer Sargent Man, and even the mysterious Btman, the Blue Bomber blew Bass' plans to smithereens and saved the day yet again. All that's left to do is deal with the "Bomb Gang" themselves...

(OOC: Nothing special here, just a bit of intro narration to catch everyone up to speed. Try to imagine someone reading this like an old-timey newsreel. Or the narrator from Bastion. Or Morgan Freeman.)

On second thought, you can have it. You're much better than me at setting up titles, what with all the fancy new formatting options and all. I still need to have a tab with Broman's formatting guide...

I'd like to handle it. But if you really want to do it, that's fine.

I'm siding with TheDoc and Reisrat on this one. Would you guys be OK if I set up an independent RP thread? We can carry over this story line and everything, It'd just be in a new thread.

(BTW, I'm premtively taking Top Man. Just try to stop me! )

Just so you guys know, I won't be able to attend tonight's chat, as I'm going to see Guardians of the Galaxy with some friends. However, I'd like to post my ideas for Needle Man's T1 and Top Man's T2.

I originally hoped that Needle Cannon would become Needle Man’s pure-Cutter T1, allowing for a more creative T2. After failing to persuade Adrian to change Oil Slider into a Earth/Swift-type ability, I don’t think that’s likely. Anyhow, Needle Driver would revolve around Needle Man’s battering ram-like head. I’m not exactly sure how it would work, though. Maybe it could reduce defense and make Needle Cannon more effective? Needle Man’s existing sprites would be problematic; maybe we could use a special add-on for the head, like the Hyper Bomb that used to appear next to Bomb Man before he got his new sprites.

For Top Man’s T2, I was inspired by his ability to deflect attacks by spinning. Top Spin (The existing Top Spin could be renamed Top Throw) would generate a spinning vortex around the user, nullifying all damage ala Skull Barrier. Unlike Skull Barrier, the vortex can be kept up by repeatedly using the ability (much like the effects of Bubble Spray and Oil Shooter). Once a different ability is used, the vortex is launched at the opposing player’s front row robot for damage (slightly less than other Shield abilities, at least). I think it would be cool if a speed-based bot like Top Man had a defensive ability to compensate for their minimal defense. Making it a T2 would make sure it couldn't be spammed (it would use up energy on each turn, unlike other Sheild abilities), and Impact and Explode-type abilities could penetrate the vortex, dealing damage and dispersing it.

If anyone would mind bringing up these ideas during the chat, even if it’s just copy-pasting them, that’d be great.

@Nagasaki: Triforce!

Join the Nintendo Fun Club today, Mac MegaBossMan!

I'll be attending tonight's session. I'll be leaving a bit earlier than usual; I'm going to Boston Comic-Con tomorrow and I need plenty of rest.

A new update? I didn't hear anything about a new update...

Some new quotes for Gyro Man...

Start: "Gyro Man standing by! Over."

Taunt: "Coming around for another attack run! Over."

Victory: "Enemy down, returning to base! Over."

Defeat: "Mayday! I'm going down! Over."

Oh, you guys are doing Shovel Knight movesets? I've been itching to play that game for a while now...might get it with some of my birthday cashola.

These are amazing, CHAOS! Again, sorry I've neglected our little project; I've had a lot on my plate these last few months (finals, my summer job, prepping my costume for Comic-Con, etc.)

Sorry I missed last night's session. I had a few friends over for my birthday.

Just wanted to announce that today is my birthday! Not sure if this is the place to put this, but nowhere else really worked.

I still use IE...christ, I'm old. I've been meaning to download Chrome for ages now, but I've never gotten around to it.

Here's something interesting: the weaknesses of the Doc Robots in Mega Man 3 coincide with the weaknesses of the Robot Masters!

-Doc Metal is weak to Magnet Missile and Hard Knuckle; Magnet Missile is effective against Hard Man.

-Doc Crash is weak to Hard Knuckle and Top Spin; Hard Knuckle is effective against Top Man.

-Doc Heat is weak to [Top Spin]{swift } and Shadow Blade; Top Spin is effective against Shadow Man.

-Doc Bubble is weak to Shadow Blade and Spark Shock; Shadow Blade is effective against Spark Man.

-Doc Air is weak to Spark Shock and Magnet Missile; Spark Shock is effective against Magnet Man.

-Doc Wood is weak to [Needle Cannon]{cutter_missile } and Search Snake; Needle Cannon is effective against Snake Man.

-Doc Quick is weak to Search Snake and Gemini Laser; Search Snake is effective against Gemini Man.

-Doc Flash is weak to Gemini Laser and Needle Cannon; Gemini Laser is effective against Needle Man.

Seeing that I linked you to the MM10 concept art, I may as well give you the MM9 concept art as well.

"If by my life or death I can playtest your game, I will. You have my sword…
…and you have my bow…
…and my axe!"

But seriously, if this gets off the ground, count me in.

I keep thinking that Flash Man's 2nd-tier should be Time/Crystal. It'd be a pretty interesting combination. Plus, crystals are pretty flashy, right?

TheDoc's "Time Bender" idea also sounds interesting.

I made a few edits to my quotes for Bomb Man and Wave Man. Check out my previous post for the changes.

Also, quotes for Plug Man! His bio from the Robot Master Field Guide indicates he's a shopaholic anime geek, which sets him apart nicely from the other Electric-type robots.

Start: “Let’s be quick! There’s a sale at Big Eddie’s!”
Taunt: “So, Robot…what’s your favorite anime?”
Victory: “I’m meeting some friends in Akihabara once I get off work. Interested?”
Defeat: “Ugh…I need to recharge…”

Okay, there are three other people in the chatroom with me and I can't see anything the type. What's the deal?

What time is it?

BTW, happy Independence Day. Hope the weather's nice wherever you live, Hurricane Arthur's really making a mess of things up here in New England. I've spent the entire day downloading music on iTunes and watching the Twilight Zone marathon on the SyFy channel.

Here are some more ideas for field names, this time for the MM6 and MM9 Robot Masters.

Flame Man: Arabian Refinery
Blizzard Man: Yukon Island
Plant Man: Overgrown Conservatory
Tomahawk Man: Cowboy Lane
Yamato Man: Impregnable Fortress
Knight Man: Medieval Abbey
Centaur Man: Sunken City
Wind Man: Mechanical Windmill

Hornet Man: Botanical Garden
Splash Woman: Marine Preserve
Concrete Man: Hydroelectric Dam
Galaxy Man: Orbital Observatory
Jewel Man: Gemstone Cavern (Again, already suggested, but here for consistency's sake.)
Plug Man: Assembly Line
Tornado Man: Metrological Network
Magma Man: Geothermal Generators

I noticed Trill doesn't have any quotes yet. As a counterpoint to his appearance in Rockman EXE Beast, I wrote him as an obnoxious, arrogant little brat. Think those shrieking little kids you see in most FPS multiplayer games (COD, Battlefield, Etc.), but as evil space robots.

Start: "If you wanna get to Miss Slur, you're gonna have to go through me first!"
Taunt: "Just 'cause I'm a kid doesn't mean you're stronger than me!"
Victory: "Go ahead and cry, you big baby!"
Defeat: "B-but there's no way you could have won! *sob* You must have cheated!"

Now we move ahead to Mega Man 8. But first, we need to go back a bit. Now, we assume that the battle between Duo and the Evil Energy Robot (who I shall refer to as EER) occurs right before the events of the actual game. However, space is far more massive than science fiction portrays it (TV Tropes has a nice article on this), and by current estimates, it would take 3 years to travel from Saturn, where the battle seems to take place, to Earth. What’s not to say that a few parts of the EER (more specifically, those big ol’ jewels on his head and chest) broke off as it hurtled towards Earth, particularly during the rough trip though the asteroid belt? And what’s not to say those parts reached Earth first?

That’s right! The energy elements from Mega Man 3 are actually fractured parts of the Evil Energy Robot from the opening of Mega Man 8!

Just as luck would have it, Duo and the EER land on a desert island those houses one of Wily’s outposts. The mad doctor whisks away the EER’s power core for further study, and sure enough, it’s the source of the energy elements. Wily uses the EER’s corrupting virus, which is actually the “Evil Energy” that Duo seeks to eradicate, to power up Bass his new line of Robot Masters. Fortunately, Mega Man is able to defeat Wily with the help of a rebuilt Duo. This time, Wily is gene-savvy enough to hide a few Evil Energy samples before the destruction of Wily Tower. He continues his experimentation with the extraterrestrial substance while beginning work on his own magnum opus: Zero. Robots don’t come cheap, though, and Wily is strapped for cash post-Mega Man 8. By reprograming Dr. Light’s expired Robot Masters and pinning the blame on him, he manages to extort funds from the naive public with the promise of combat robots to put down Light’s supposed rebellion.

Previously, Evil Energy could on spread to robots that were in direct contact with its original source: the EER. Wily’s experimentation allowed infected robots to spread it, creating the Roboenza Virus. Wily pretends to help Light manufacture a cure in order to infect Mega Man, but his scheme fails thanks to Roll sacrificing herself to save her brother. Even so, Wily realizes that Roboenza is far too easy to cure, and decides to start from scratch. To give himself a blank slate to work with, he gives Light enough of the cure to eradicate Roboenza.

With his health rapidly declining, Wily quickly finishes Zero and uploads a new version of Evil Energy into his system. Christened the “Zero Virus”, this form of Evil Energy not only causes robots to lash out at whatever they see, but also alters their mind to conform with Wily’s twisted dream of a human-free world. Wily seals Zero away, dying soon afterward.

Zero awakens a century later. The Zero Viruis is far more effective than Wily could have imagined; rather than being a simple carrier (ala Typhoid Mary) , Zero becomes a savage berserker, killing any Reploid that crosses paths with him. What few Reploids survive Zero’s rampage are repaired, now unwilling carriers of the Zero Virus. Instantaneous teleportation allows the Zero Virus to become an epidemic in mere days. Since Wily did not account for advances in robot technology, the virus lies dormant in highly-advanced Reploids, only causing primitive Mechanaloids to become what the media dubs “Mavericks”. Disturbed by this course of events, Dr. Cain creates the Maverick Hunters to protect innocent humans and Reploids. Cain appoints Sigma, one of his most advanced Reploids, as the unit’s commander. Sigma manages to track down Zero, and the two get into a scuffle. Sigma shatters the gem on Zero’s forehead, which simultaneously frees Zero from the Zero Virus and infects Sigma with it. Unlike the Mechanaloids, Sigma is smart enough to infect other Reploids and begin an organized rebellion against humanity. I trust you all know how the story goes from here.

In summary, Mega Man 3 is the first sighting of the Maverick Virus that literally plagues the rest of the timeline up until Mega Man Zero. Funny how something that started with a peacekeeping robot named after a Greek letter ended with a peacekeeping robot named after a Greek letter.

Alrighty, here’s my theory. It’s long and complicated, but I’m fairly proud of it overall. So I was playing Mega Man 3 the other day, when I realized something. Why exactly are the Robot Masters revolting? It’s implied that Wily reprogramed them, but why would he want to delay Gamma’s construction if he was planning to steal it? Was Wily even involved in the first place, or did he just capitalize on the chaos the Robot Masters were causing? Maybe the energy elements the Robot Masters were collecting be responsible?

To understand this, we need to start at the beginning: more specifically, Mega Man 3. After his second defeat at the hands of Mega Man, Dr. Wily abandons his evil ways and begins working with Dr. Light on the peace-keeping robot Gamma. Being a 50-story titan brimming with weapons, Gamma’s power requirements exceed any practical method of generating electricity (fossil fuels, solar, nuclear, etc.). While the doctors try to find a solution, geologists investigating a meteor impact in some distant corner of the world discover strange crystalline formations. These crystals are found to output massive amounts of power, and are dubbed “energy elements”. Believing that more energy elements are located on the earth, Light and Wily construct a third set of Robot Masters to find said energy elements and establish facilities to mine and refine them.

At first, all goes well. In addition to the first site, the Third Numbers locate 7 more energy elements in various locations, and initial excavation goes off without a hitch. However, the energy elements slowly begin to corrupt the Robot Masters’ AI, eventually causing them and their mechanical underlings to go berserk and attack humans. Shadow Man, being of alien origin, is exempt from this, but Wily orders him to go along with his comrades in order to A) hide his true nature, which could arouse suspicion in Light and Mega Man, and B) gather intel on why the Robot Masters have gone rouge. Proto/Break Man is dispatched as well, but he forgoes the mission to get revenge on Mega Man for “replacing” him as Dr. Light’s son.

Of course, that wily Wily is secretly planning to steal Gamma for his own nefarious ends. While Light and Mega Man are distracted with the robot rebellion, Wily begins to reprogram Gamma. But the Blue Bomber defeats the 8 Robot Masters quicker than Wily expected, forcing him to deploy his experimental “Doc Robot” line (which had been safely hidden away in his third Skull Castle prior to his second defeat) to stall our hero further. While Mega Man has his (not very) climatic showdown with Break Man, Wily overpowers Light and makes off with the incomplete Gamma. The energy element’s virus seems to affect Gamma as well, leaving Wily unable to complete colossal peacekeeper before Mega Man destroys it, along with the energy elements themselves. Wily, having faked his death with a robotic duplicate (Wily had a body double piloting his Wily Machine, so why wouldn’t he have one controlling Gamma), escapes his ruined fortress and reviews the data Shadow Man collected on the energy element’s negative effects.

Flash forward to Mega Man 7. While analyzing the data files Bass stole from Light Labs along with the Super Adaptor plans, Wily discovers that Light is building a next-generation robot: Mega Man X. An infuriated Wily decides to build his own next generation robot (with blackjack and hookers!). However, Wily reasons that since he is using Light’s blueprints, his will (as usual) be inferior to Light’s. That’s when it hit him: what if his robot could infect others with the virus spread by the energy elements? Light’s robot would not just be squaring off against Wily’s, he’d potentially be facing a millions-strong army of renegade robots! One small problem: the only known energy elements were destroyed along with Gamma. Wily desperately scours the globe for more energy elements, building dozens of small outposts in remote corners of the world. (Cont.)

A tweak to Bomb Man's quotes, partially in celebration of his new sprites.

Start: "Let's have a little fun with my explosives!"
Taunt: "Watch it! Bombs aren't toys, y'know!"
Victory: "Ka-BOOM! What a blast!"
Defeat: "What? But you're supposed to blow up, not me!

EDIT: Some new quotes for Wave Man as well.

Start: "Hey, who said you could come here? Go away!"
Taunt: "On your foot...sludge? This is the last straw!"
Victory: "Maybe now I can get some peace and quiet."
Defeat: "I just want to be alone! Is that too much to ask?"

Maybe each player's intro field could have a different mecha? It's kind of boring having to fight Mets three times in a row.

Dr. Light-Met
Dr. Wily-Sniper Joe
Dr. Cossack-Bladder

Each mecha's highest stat would be the one each doctor specializes in (Met has high defense, etc.).

EDIT: Actually, each doctor's intro stage should be (aesthetically) different as well.

Dr. Light-Default
Dr. Wily-Wily Stage 1 from Mega Man 2, with the Mega Man 2 Wily Fortress in the background.
Dr. Cossack-Cossack Stage 1 from Mega Man 4, with Cossack Citadel in the background.

The sprites for Wily and Cossack's backgrounds would be the fortress stage maps from Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 4, respectively.

We have a chat room?

Whenever I click the "view more" tab in the Mecha database, I just get sent back up to the top of the page.

A tiny tweak to Crash Man's class to differentiate him from Grenade Man.

Crash Man: Aggressive Artillery Robot

I see that Plug Man's sprites have been completed!

EDIT: Looks like the Mega Man 1 Robot Masters are getting a revamp! Ice Man, Bomb Man, Fire Man, and Elec Man all have new sprites! Cut Man still needs one, though...

I feel that since our version of Color Man is Crystal type, he should be more prism-themed than clown/artist themed. I mean, Solar Man was originally going to be light-themed instead of fire-themed. Maybe his attacks could involve different forms of light?

I know we just finished Mega Man 3, but I have some suggestions for field names for the remaining Mega Man 5 Robot Masters.

Communications Satellite
Gravity Research Center
Mobile Airbase
Crystal Catacombs (Already in-game, but I put it here for consistency's sake.)
Arms Storehouse
Barren Highlands
Rail Transport
Water Supply

The text prompts on the opponent's side of the screen sometimes disappear, partially or entirely. Highlighting them restores them, though.

Words do not describe the excitement I am feeling. Instead, I bring you music. Funny how our MM3 update came a few weeks after the release of The Mega's MM3 album...

So the update might not come out today?



Nah, I'm just joshin' ya. Adrian can take as long as he needs to.

The update's coming out tomorrow!

So each model of Nitron has a different core type? Interesting...

Brorman I'm not mad or anything; I understand completely. But that's the last time I'll ever trust MegaBossMan...(JK)

Spinstrike presents: a series of MegaBossMan-related puns.

-MegaBigBossMan "MegaBoss... you say there's only room for one Snake Man... no... the world is better off... without Snake Men..."
-MegaFinalBossMan
-MegaPitBossMan
-MegaHorribleBossesMan
-MegaUndercoverBossMan
-MegaBanBossyMan

The update didn't come out yesterday... :(

Any chance of it coming out today, MegaBigBossMan?

Many fans theorize that RT-55J from Mega Man X is actually Auto, modified by Dr. Light to guard the Light Capsules. However, Auto actually makes a cameo appearance in Volt Catfish's boss intro in the Playstaton, Sega Saturn, PC, and Anniversary Collection editions of [Mega Man X3](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZoqPanZ1K8).

I am so pumped up for the update!

Hey MegaBossMan, how much longer until the hype train reaches its destination, so to speak?

Thanks!

For the record, I'm only doing base fields. Too many fusion fields for me. :(

Hey MegaBossMan, would you mind if I handled mecha (and possibly field) bios? I'd like a piece of the bio pie... :D

@Reisrat Aren't you forgetting...

A bit of a silly concept, but entertaining none the less. Here’s my take:

Spinstrike
“The pen is mightier than the sword!”

Bio: Spinstrike was created by a student of Dr. Light’s “Light University” project, an attempt to create a college campus for humans and robots alike. Programed with knowledge of classic literature, Spinstrike helped his creator cheat on homework and tests. Disgusted by what he saw as a misuse of his potential, Spinstrike joined Dr. Wily during his ill-fated attempt to infiltrate Light University. Following that escapade, Dr. Wily assigned Spinstrike to spread misinformation about his schemes online, hoping to mislead Mega Man and Dr. Light.

Good Trait: Knowledgeable
Bad Trait: Socially Awkward
Likes: Books
Dislikes: Censorship

@Reisrat Well, the boss of the first Dr. Wily stage is a turtle-shooting HAL 9000.

As for stage enemies, I have a few theories. *Pickpockets the Speculation Device from MegaBossMan*

Needle Man-Hari Hari
Magnet Man-Mag Fly
Gemini Man-Nitron
Hard Man-Monking
Top Man-Komasaburo
Snake Man-Snakey
Spark Man-Elec'n
Shadow Man-Mechakero

*Slips the speculation device back into MegaBossMan's pocket*

Just going to leave this here...

@Reisrat Cowabunga, dude!

Sorry I haven't been as involved in the community as of late. I've been studying for finals...and playing the new version of MM8BDM.

As for Magnet Man, I think he should remain a Missile core. While an Earth core kind of makes sense, giving Mags one would leave us with only three Missile core robots. Missile is already a fairly niche type, and taking away one of its robots would just make things worse. Besides, Earth has enough robots already.

@MegaBossMan MegaBigBossMan, anyone?

Sorry, dude. According to the MMKB, Gold BassCross is exclusive to Team ProtoMan.

The way I see it, Bass' dash and double-jump maneuvers give him greater mobility than Mega Man, but Mega's chargeable buster gives him greater firepower than Bass' dinky little multi-directional peashooter.

Wow, MegaBossMan! Congrats on getting...



(Mouse over the image)

There never was an Elec Man, [sunbeam]. It was all just a dream...OR WAS IT?!

No, but seriously, hope this bug gets fixed so you can have a full team.

Here's a comic for ya'll: JL8 by Yale Stewart. Tons of clever reverences for any DC geek, but still funny and entertaining for comic book newbies. Beside, who doesn't like kid versions of everyone's favorite superheroes?

Alright, I've taken it into consideration, and the Skullgirls fighters will be my next moveset series!CHAOSFANTASY and I will be working on it together, so get ready!

My Scheme For World Domination has Falid!: Lose the same mission 10 times. (The misspelling is intentional, see Mega Man 6

Wiley Ran Off With Gamma!: Trade a robot to another player's team. (Another intentional misspelling, see Mega Man 3)

Start For The Battle Again!: Play the intro mission with any player after completing their story at least once. (See Mega Man 4)

More random ideas:

Double Whammy: Complete a fusion field featuring two robots of the same core type.

Underdog: Win a 1 vs. 8 match.

I'm Not Dead Yet!: Finish a battle with all robots under 50 energy.

For Everlasting Peace!: Complete the Prototype with every player character.

Calling For Backup: Use Mecha Support 100 times.

Redecorator: Use Field Support 100 times.

Reanimator: Use 100 1-Ups.

Drinking Problem: Use 100 E-Tanks.

Reloading: Use 100 W-Tanks.

Full Recovery: Use 100 Yasichis.

Get Equipped: Change a Robot's abilities.

Encyclopedia Bot: Complete the Database.

Deja Vu: Complete the same mission 10 times.

For the Mega Man 3 abilities:

Getting The Point: Use Needle Cannon 100 times.

Why Did It Have To Be Snakes?: Use Search Snake 100 times.
Sparks Will Fly: Use Spark Shock 100 times.
Lurking In The Shadows: Use Shadow Blade 100 times.

My username originates from an obscure fan-novelization of Mega Man 3. In it, the Robot Masters are actually mass-produced, with a single robot serving as the boss fought in-game. Top Man is part of the "Spinstrike" series, hence my name.

You know what I find funny? "Ballad of Luigi" is supposed to be about Luigi, but Mario winds up taking over the song and singing most of the lyrics. So Mario is stealing Luigi's thunder...just like he does the rest of the time...

But what really confuses me is that for most of the song, Mario is clearly trying to win Peach over, but for a few lyrics he sings about how fed up with her he is, only to go back to singing about his...that...

In Mega Man 9, if you beat the game after equipping Roll with her Mega Man 8 outfit, she will be wearing it in her scene with Jewel Man in the ending credits.

Also, Dr. Light's laboratory in the opening sequence was originally going to be one of his buildings from Rockboard.

Now hold on a sec, pal. How do we know you're the real Adrian and not some intruder-spy guy trying to learn all our secret secrets?

@CHAOSFANTASY: Yeah, I was thinking the original roster, plus Marie and a 2-4 DLC characters. Help would be much appreciated!

For my next project, I'll be creating a series of movesets like I did with the League of Evil Exes. I have a few ideas, but I want your input.

-The mercenaries from Team Fortress 2
-The members of FOXHOUND from the original Metal Gear Solid
-The cast of Skullgirls (Probably just the original 8, maybe a few more)
-The Mighty Numbers from Mighty No. 9 (My personal pick)

Two sugestions:

1. A thread to discuss names for the remaining Robot Master fields (3, 5-10, and MMAB).

2. An option to choose between the original NES music and the Genesis remixes. TheLegendOfRenegade is great, don't get me wrong, but some people (myself included) would appreciate it.

Here's Ra Thor, the robot created by Dr Wily using Ra Moon's alien technology in Super Adventure Rockman. He also appears in the Archie Comics adaption of the game.

Victory: "Your services are no longer required, Doctor..."
Defeat: "Long live Ra Moon!"

(Abilities and Field will be added later... -_-;)

Not exactly a fact, but it is believed that Napalm Man's stage in Mega Man 5 is based of Vietnam. Here's some evidence:

-The jungle-like setting.
-The robot tiger enemies. Indochinese Tigers are native to Vietnam.
-The underground tunnel (the one with the drilling robots). During the Vietnam War, South Vietnamese guerillas used a vast network of underground tunnels to sneak around unnoticed.
-The spike pits in his stage resemble punji traps, concealed pits of wooden stakes employed by the South Vietnamese.
-Napalm Man himself. Napalm was a flammable liquid used by the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War; its use was banned by the United Nations in 1980.

In fact, rumor as it that Mega Man 5 was banned in Vietnam, as Vietnamese would find Napalm Man and his stage offensive.

Hey, this seems pretty interesting! Mind if I drop in?

Top Man: Okay, I think I've found a way to make a slightly more game-accurate version of Top Spin). According to Adrian's initial post regarding the MM3 weapons, Top Spin had to be changed from its game counterpart because it would require a new sprite for every robot, which would be too time-consuming. For my version of Top Spin, the user would balance on a giant top (Similar to the spinning top platforms right before Top Man's boss door) and "charge" it for a turn (Like Super Arm or a Shield ability) before jumping off and sending it at a front-row target for massive damage. However, it could be stopped early with an Impact-type ability. The existing Top Spin would remain in the game under a different name (something like Top Throw).

Spark Man: If I recall, Spark Man has a move where he charges a ball of electricity above his head and throws it at you. This move always struck me as an Electric-type version of Pharaoh Shot, and could probably use the same mechanics. As for a name...Spark Charge?

Snake Man: This one isn't really based off anything. The user would summon a Snakey from Snake Man's stage to bite the opponent and deal damage, lowering attack by 10% in the process. Snake Bite seems like a fitting name.

Hard Man: Oh boy, this one's a doozy. It's also based of Hard Man's ground slam attack. The user would leap up into the air for a turn, then crash down to cause a earthquake that would deal damage to all robots on the opponent's side. This attack could be stopped early with a Missile-type move, just to use those upward-turning sprites Magnet Missile and Needle Cannon have. As for a name, I was thinking Hard Quake. Guts Man could be given a similar move.

Just wondering...how do I unlock the field support ability?

I don't know what the weather is like for you guys, but for me it's been nothing but Rain (Flush). It's been going on for so long, I'd even take some nasty Wind (Man) or a Blizzard (Man). I can't wait to see the Sun(star) again!

Glad to see things are back to normal (at least for the moment). I haven't been commenting much, what with all the negative air around here. :(

Shame the Prototype is still down. ): In the meantime, I'd like to make a few edits to my preexisting quotes.

Flash Man
Start: "Stop! In the name of Love!"
Taunt: "This'll be over in a flash!"
Victory: "How illuminating!"
Defeat: "My light is fading..."

Crash Man
Start: "I am the destroyer!"
Taunt: "I'll blow you to smithereens!"
Victory: "You hardly stood a chance!"
Defeat: "How did you...Inconceivable!"

Knight Man
Start: "Taste my steel, knave!"
Taunt: "Enough foolishness! Have at you!"
Victory: "Thou were a fool to think thy could win!"
Defeat: "Forsoth...I have fallen..."

When I go to select a player, the game refuses to go to the mission select screen. All the other tabs work, though.

Anyway, your hosting provider?

God, this happens to me ALL the time!

Get equipped with: Update!

In celebration of the field-centric Star Force Update, you can now create fan-made fields! I mean, what's the point of making bunch of awesome fan-made robots without some place for them to kick each other's butts?

A complete field MUST contain...

-The field's name. Composed of two words or phrases (three or four if you're pushing it, don't even think about five).
-What game (Mega Man or otherwise) the field comes from.
-The Field's primary core type (determines what type the 10% boost go collecting this field's star is).
-The field's multipliers (Core types, damage, recovery, experience). Primary core type gets an automatic x2 multiplier.
-The Robot (fan-made or otherwise) associated with the field.
-The Mecha (fan-made or otherwise) associated with the field.

Optional:

-A short description of what the field looks like (1-2 sentences is good).
-Music that plays during battle (link to YouTube or another video/music-sharing website).

Robot Master ghosts? Hmn...what to do? Should we call Mega Man? Should we call the Ghostbusters? Should we call both?

"If there's something strange,
In the Prototype,
Who ya gonna call?
MEGA-BUSTERS!"

"If it's glitchn' out,
And it's Laser type,
Who ya gonna call?
[MEGA-BUSTERS]{neutral;}!"

"I ain't afraid of no Bots!
I ain't afraid of no Bots!"

(C) Spinstrike 2014

Ah, I understand. When you collect a star from a field, you gain a boost to abilities that share the same core type as the feild. For example, the Rainy Simulator field (Rainy Sewers+Space Simulator) is Water and Space type, so its Fusion Star gives a 10% boost to both Water and Space type moves.

One question: will you be able to collect more than one of each varieyt of star? For example, can I collect 2 Rainy Simulator stars to gain a 20% boost to my Water and Space type abilities?

Hate to Burst Man your bubble, Megaboss Man, but Spinstrike's here to work his Magic Man! With my puns, I'll be sure to make the Cut Man! Do you have the Guts Man to match my pun-ing skills?

Hmn, let's see...

Looks awesome! Any idea when this is coming out?

Not necessarily a full revamp, but could we give Cut Man and Bomb Man a nice orange color in place of that gaudy pinkish-red? And while we're at it, we may as well give Guts Man, Fire Man, Elec Man, Quick Man and Heat Man that nice red Metal Man has now too.

Merry Christmas, everyone! Though I would have thought Adrian would have posted an update by now. Maybe he's just running late...

On an unrelated note, guess what yours truly goy!
