It's a shame I cannot examine any of your core- *Peng performs attack previously mentioned that misses Gravity Man* - but you seem to only desire slaughter. So be it!
Gravity Man uses Electric Shot on Peng.

A first step near done,
How will this path continue?
Time will soon reveal.
Yamato Man uses Buster Shot on Spine.

Thank you for the help, fellow heroes! Allow me to eliminate that bothersome gnat.
Gravity Man uses Electric Shot on the Flutter Fly.

Aid arrives to help,
Allies of strong appearance,
Will they fight with grace?
Yamato Man uses Buster Shot on Tackle Fire.

Beginning a quest,
our opponents lack honor,
The beetle dies first.
Yamato Man uses Cutter Shot on the Beetle Borg.

On only the first encounter, these enemies display signs of Star Force delivered enhancements. Those pesky Fleas always seem to be hopping about, so let's eliminate that variable first.
Gravity Man uses Electric Shot on the Flea.

Rev up those fryers, 'cause here comes two new characters!

Yamato Man

Type: Cutter
Weakness: Earth & Explode
Resistance: Shadow & Flame
Affinity: None
Immunity: None
Energy: 100
Attack: 121
Defense: 111
Speed: 68
Motive(?): Wishes to do away with Starforce in hopes of returning fights to a more "honorable" state.

Gravity Man

Type: Electric
Weakness: Space & Shadow
Resistance: Wind
Affinity: None
Immunity: None
Energy: 100
Attack: 82
Defense: 109
Speed: 109
Motive(?): Wants to analyze the energy that gives Starforce power.

Despite this not being canon, both robots will be under Dr. Light, if that is okay.

@Adrian Marceau : Hey, that looks neat!

The Recolors have already taken over the RP Section, not to mention the "Dark" versions, so now we are really doomed. I will open the bomb shelter.

Oh, the Doc is in? Guess I better get to asking.

1. What made you decide to shoot up to the top of the leaderboard when you were originally around 25?
2. How do you feel about Mighty Number 9?
3. Hot or cold weather?
4. Do spooky scary skeletons send shivers down your spine?
5. What are your thoughts on the Battle Network series?

How is this?

Tails is up? *starts rubbing hands while laughing maniacally* Alright-y then.

1. I seem to recall you saying you originally ground up your robot's stats due to a surgery. If this isn't too personal, what was it?
2. How do you have enough patience to climb the leaderboard thrice?
3. Do you have any regrets about resetting, or our you happy in helping end the BP inflation your robots caused?
4. Wait. If you are TailsMk4... WHERE ARE MARKS 1-3?!?!? (This is definitely the most important and not at all sarcastic)

... I am obviously not understanding something here. Fan characters can use different varieties of moves, but can standard characters only learn their moves? What version of the Chill Spike are you basing this off of, or does that not even matter?

(Wait, you can attach Chill Spikes to objects. If it doesn't hit an enemy in MM10, it creates 3 small spikes onto the ground or wall. I was using these properties for the Ice Wall, which is literally a wall, but this whole point is mute because I misunderstood what you said about the original Ice Wall, as I figured the Dust Crusher would have broken it. tl;dr version: I need to learn how to read)

Ice Man launches 2 spikes near Dust Man, causing small crystalline cones to appear.

Ice Man creates another Ice Wall, but lets it stay where it is at. He also starts forming Chill Spikes onto the Ice Wall to make it larger and more damaging if impacted.

(I am trying to counter act that by having Ice Man's moves have slow start up, but if the freezing gets to be too much, just let me know.)

Ice Man creates an Ice Wall and attempts to push it towards Dust Man, but Ice Man can only barely get the shield to move due to his small structure. It does eventually get moving, however.

(Aw, okay. Edited now.)

Ice Man starts creating a Blizzard Storm and attempts to launch it while Dust Man was frozen.

Ice Man exhales an Ice Breath.

I think I will join and (for now) use:
Ice Man "Stop and Freeze!"

@Bt Man : Aw, there is no reason to say I slithered my way up. I triumphantly climbed up with the grace of a rhinoceros, intelligence of a turkey, and swiftness of a sloth. Thanks for the picture though, it looks nice. :D

@Retro Pikachu : Ret-ro! Ret-ro! You can do it! You can do it!

I did not realize that I will be going out to dinner today, so I unfortunately will not be able to attend. Happy Chatting!

*kicks front door open, wearing war paint and camouflage*
It is... done.

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome one and all to... Mega Man: Top Man's Revenge!

Story: After the constant jokes and being made fun of, Top Man has finally had it. "Flash and Plant even get more respect than I do! I think it is about time I prove my worth!" Top Man has challenged some of the strongest robot masters to ever be created to a duel. They all await in their stages, waiting for you, Top Man. No world domination, no castles, just pure old combat.

Attacks: Top Man can shoot out a slow-moving spinning top. There can be 2 on screen at a time, but this number can be updated. By charging your Top Shot, Top Man can spin forward impervious to damage and hurt enemies, but cannot jump, stop at pits, or stop until the charge is done. While the Top Spin is charging, Top Man comes to a stop. He can charge in the air, but will fall to the ground.

Stage Set 1:
Ice Man : Extra E-Tank Space
Metal Man : Super Arrow
Pharaoh Man : Balloon
Dive Man : Wire
Knight Man : Stronger Top Shot 1
Plug Man : Higher Health 1

Mid Stage Boss: Bass

Stage Set 2
Quick Man : Faster Movement
Needle Man : Higher Jump
Crystal Man : Higher Health 2
Yamato Man : Stronger Top Shot 2
Turbo Man : Extra Top Shot
Concrete Man : Faster Charge

End Game Bosses:
1. Enker
2. Punk
3. Ballade

I'm seeing some family that live in the desolate wasteland that is Ohio, so I probably will not make it.

1. Have you seen the One Minute Melee between Zero and Meta Knight? If so, what do you think of it?
2. What was your first Mega Man experience?
3. What is your dream job?
4. What DOES the DXZ stand for?
5. In your dream team image, you have both Gemini Man and Metal Man. Why those two?

1. Do you like spending time with close family?
2. Would you prefer the ability to charge a buster, or 8-way aim a buster?
3. How does spriting rank among other hobbies?
4. What robot master are you looking forwards to playing as in the Prototype most?
5. Vanilla or Chocolate?

Because my previous questions were universal, I think I will shoot a couple specifically at Ender.

1. What is your favorite movie?
2. Who is better (not your personal favorite), Crash Man or Napalm Man?
3. Which game has the better soundtrack, Mega Man 2, 3, or 4?

I think I have a few univervsal questions:

1. Who's your favorite, Mega Man, Bass, or Proto Man?
2. Why are you using your current profile picture?
3. Favorite song (not excluded to Mega Man)?
4. What's your favorite series of classic robot masters (1st Unit, 3rd Unit, Bass Unit, etc)?

@Rhythm_BCA : Like how you had mentioned with the over-complication, I like the simplicity and accuracy in this sprite. It looks like it could actually be in a game, unlike some other ones.

@Meta : Good luck with that! I plan on actually staying in the single digits place now.

@ThatGuyNamedMikey : Hey Mikey, I'd figure I would post a few of my opinions here like you had wanted, considering everyone is wanting to talk in chat. I am not going to post responses on every idea simply because people who truly understand could do them much more justice than I could.

Subject 3: To me, this is like saying "You can't have your cake and eat it too." Let's say Blue Ring Man is restricted to use Water abilities. Now, I may prefer this Ring Man color scheme to the original, but what if I want my Ring Man to use Wind moves, and not Water moves? If we just have the held item mechanic, I can have my Blue Ring Man AND use my Air Shooter too.

Subject 4: I can about half agree with this, because it seems you are suggesting adding one tedium and removing another. I think items should be able to be spent at any store. If each store sells different items, but bought items get shared between the three doctors, what if the point? If every shop sells every item, then I don't have to go specifically to Wily's game to sell a core when I was playing with Cossack. However, I don't see the harm in holding 99 items. If you really have the zenny to do that, power to you. It doesn't prevent excessive item usage for younger players or collectathon-mentalities for more experienced players.

@TheDoc : Maybe Shadow and Crystal? Mercury is basically a liquid metal, and the closest thing to metal is Crystal. Water would make the most sense, but as you already said, there are already two Water Stardroids.

@TheDoc : I... he... but... crap. I gotta agree with you here. If he is made to disarm bombs, he should be resistant to them. However, this leads to the question of what his weakness should be. Something like Fire comes to mind, but there are already several Explode core robot masters weak to Flame, so I propose something else. It is a bit of a stretch, but I think it could work. Commando Man is obviously a military themed robot, so I would assume that antenna on his back is for more than pretty looks. I would assume, as a military robot, he sends radio signals through it. Do you know what blocks a radio wave pretty well? Something called a Farady Shield, which is a protective structure made from conductive materials, which makes it's own electrical field, disrupting radio waves. I believe there are no Explode robots weak to Electric, so why not Commando Man? Obviously, this is quite a reach, so if we can come up with any other ideas, by all means.

@TheDoc : On the topic of Commando Man, I agree with his weakness being Swift over Cutter, but I think the weakness of Explode is fine for two reasons:

1.) Hard Man is weak to Impact, his own core. This makes sense from Mega Man 3, where Hard Knuckle was good against him. In fact, all Mega Man 3 robot masters were weak to their own weapons. A robot being weak to it's own core isn't unheard of.

2.) This may seem a bit silly, but if a bomb went off near other bombs, do you think they are gonna say "My my, that was quite the annoyance. Could you pass me some tea?", or do you think it's gonna explode?

@Bt Man : Ring Man on it's own is not super tough, but he's one of my favorites with the music, stage (yes, I actually like it), and weapon. I'm with Ender on how Ring is one of my favorites, but you should have known that considering hew was my icon before Snake Man. :p

Well, the stats just went back to normal. So, problem adverted?

@MetaKirbSter : That is what happened to my Toad Man. With the reduction and addition of stats, my Toad Man's defense lowered, while I think it's attack raised. Same thing must have happened to Tail's Bright Man.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you...
Mega Man: Wily's Onslaught

Wily has finally had it with all of Mega Man's success. He has sent out the best of the best of his robot masters to various locations to lure Mega Man into various traps. It's time for Mega Man to throw down with the mad doctor in 8 crazy action packed stages. Maybe he can finally stop the doctor for ever lasting peace. (Can you tell I try to make these sound like corny back of the video game case descriptions?)

Robot Masters
Metal Man
Quick Man
Heat Man
Gemini Man
Hard Man
Gravity Man
Star Man
Napalm Man

Weaknesses
Metal Man: Quick Boomerang and Hard Knuckle Quick Man: Gravity Hold and Napalm Bomb Heat Man: Hard Knuckle and Gravity Hold Gemini Man: Metal Blade and Star Crash Hard Man: Napalm Bomb and Gemini Laser Gravity Man: Star Crash and Metal Blade Star Man: Atomic Fire and Quick Boomerang Napalm Man: Gemini Laser and Atomic Fire

We can't quite take out Wily yet! He has sent out four Doc Robots programmed with some of Light's Bots and Cossack's Bots abilities.

Doc Robot 1 (Found in Metal Man's Stage) : Ring Man Weak to Atomic Fire
Doc Robot 2 (Found in Hard Man's Stage) : Drill Man Weak to Star Crash
Doc Robot 3 (Found in Gravity Man's Stage) : Elec Man Weak to Quick Boomerang
Doc Robot 4 (Found in Napalm Man's Stage) : Bomb Man Weak to Gemini Laser

We can now finally storm Wily's Castle, which is filled with upgraded traps and robots from the past.

Wily 1 : Big Pets Weak to Hard Knuckle
Wily 2 Mini Boss: Top Man + No Weakness

Wily 2: Picopico-kun Weak to Star Crash

Wily 3: Tank CSII Weak to Napalm Bomb

Wily 4 Mini Bosses: Boss Rematches

Wily 4: Metall Daddy Weak to Quick Boomerang

Wily 5 Form 1: Wily Machine 2 Weak to Hard Knuckle

Wily 5 Form 2: Wily Capsule II Weak to Gravity Hold

@Reisrat : I gotta agree with you here. Nobody would drag a joke like that, not even Adrian.

@TomBossHanksMan : Oh, I was hoping to play as these guys. It's interesting Adrian made this decision, considering we don't even know what core their attacks will be. I guess Ballade Cracker could be Explode... Swift? Maybe just pure Explode? TheDoc brings up a good point in that the boss fights should be stronger, but maybe we could make Quint super strong to balance out him not being unlock-able? Well, whatever happens, looking forwards to the Killers!

Oh man, it is even better than I expected! It's really cool how he made everything new invisible as a hard mode!

Mega Man: Day in the Limelight is a series of games were you play as a group of robot masters and play through stages based off of the next consecutive game. There has been a 1st and 2nd game, but the main creator Riverroad has seemed to be taking it slow and steady on the 3rd game, where there have been only 4 robot master stages done. I figured it would be cool to try to give ideas on the rest of the game, so I present to you: Mega Man: Day in the Limelight Fan Edition!

Story Part 1: Dr. Wily has been busy, preparing his next world domination scheme, when the mysterious Dr. Cossack appears, claiming to be taking over the world. How dare he! Everyone knows you're the greatest threat to the world! You figured Mega Man would appear to defeat Dr. Cossack, but he strangely has not appeared to counter the new threat. It's time to send the third generation robots to show Cossack who's boss!

Characters:
Needle Man has the ability to shoot out spurts of needles, but he can also shoot out the needles on his head to both damage enemies and latch on to walls. His slide also does damage.
Magnet Man can manipulate magnetic forces at anytime. When there is no gravitational force, the Magnet Missiles have no tracking property. However, the Magnet Missiles do track enemies whenever the Magnet Pull is in affect.
Gemini Man can create clones when standing still. The original Gemini Man stays put while the copy continues forwards. If the original or copy get damaged, the copy disappears. If the copy dies, the original does not. The Gemini Laser can reflect off of walls, ceilings, floors, and even some enemy attacks.
Hard Man has the ability to launch is Hard Knuckles, which fly forwards and can hurt enemies multiple times. Hard Man can slam the ground in mid air, also hurting enemies. At any time, Hard Man can retract into his shell-like body, ignoring all damage.
Top Man can start twirling whether on the ground or in the air. While twirling, he becomes immune to small projectiles and can deal damage to small enemies. For larger enemies, he can shoot out a large top, doing constant damage during it's spin. Top Man has the fastest slide.
Snake Man is able to shoot Search Snakes, which will climb up everything but ceilings. He can also climb up walls, just like his Search Snakes.
Spark Man shoots Spark Shocks forwards uncharged, but in 8 directions when charged. If an enemy is not destroyed by the attack, it will be paralyzed, but it also becomes invincible from Spark Shocks. While paralyzed, the enemies become platforms you can jump on.
Shadow Man jumps higher than any other robot master. He can shoot Shadow Blades in any direction, but has to stop to throw them while on the ground. Shadow Man can still throw Shadow Blades during his slide.

Weaknesses:
In Mega Man: Day in the Limelight, the weaknesses are a bit tricky. You take the weakness order of the robots you are fighting, then apply the playable robot masters to the chain. For example, Dust Man is good against Skull Man, so Hard Man is also good against Skull Man. Bright Man is good against Pharaoh Man, so Spark Man is also good against Pharaoh Man.

Stages:
Needle Man vs Skull Man
Magnet Man vs Ring Man
Gemini Man vs Drill Man
Hard Man vs Dust Man
Top Man vs Dive Man
Snake Man vs Toad Man
Spark Man vs Bright Man
Shadow Man vs Pharaoh Man :

After we fight Cossack's robots and unlock our robots, it's time to take on Cossack.

Cossack Citadel 1: Mothraya-Weak to Spark Shock.
Cossack Citadel 2: Square Machine-Weak to Magnet Missile.
Cossack Citadel 3: Cockroach Twins-Weak to Search Snake.
Cossack Citadel 4: Cossack Catcher-Weak to Hard Knuckle.

Upon finally confronting Dr. Cossack, Proto Man teleports in to say "Dr. Cossack did not mean to do this. He was being forced by someone in Light's laboratory. The real threat lies there."

Light Labs 1: Guts Man?-Weak to Gemini Laser.
Light Labs 2: Elec Man?-Weak to Shadow Blade.
Light Labs 3: Mega Man?- Weak to Needle Cannon.

Light Labs 4: Doc Robot 2.0-No weakness (Doc Robot 2.0 uses Mega Man 2 weapons).

I will be attending tonight, but I am gonna be a few minutes late.

@HattyH : It's very nice to meet you HattyH. Welcome aboard!

@TheDoc & @MegaBossMan : Well, you both make pretty good points that makes my argument seem null. The ratio between planned flame core robots and swift core robots is about 2:1, and a stat change to Nitro could help create difference between him and Turbo, so now I'm kinda agreeing with swift core Turbo.

@MegaBossMan : I'm sorry, but it seems to me Slash Man makes perfect sense as a nature core. Even when ignoring the stage's influence Slash Man still:
A. Appears to be based off of a wolverine type animal.
B. The amber/goop he drops from the ceiling are supposedly (robo?)dinosaur eggs.
C. Is weak to Freeze Cracker and Turbo Fire, which represents extreme temperature changes hurting part of an ecosystem, or nature.
D. As you addressed at the end of your post, there are 7 total planned cutter core robots, but only 5 planned nature core robots, one of which being a newly created robot. By switching Slash from cutter to nature, those numbers would equal out.

I'm sorry if this came off as antagonizing or attacking, but I am trying to write this as my head starts feeling 10 times heavier than normal, and my eyelids 100 times.

@TailsMK4 : That's not a bad idea, Tails. I remember how we used to dedicate whole legacy chats to those, so having a thread would make them much more accessible.


@Adrian Marceau : For a Slash Man 1st tier ability, I could easily see the goop attack being formatted for this. It could function like Ice Breath in how it stops opponents from switching. Maybe it would be called "Trap Beast" or "Beast Amber"? Something like that anyway. As for the Scorch Overdrive, it seems like a good way of adding more speed elements without reducing the flame aspect.

@Adrian Marceau : As a response to the new information about the Mega Man 7 robots, I like the changes to Spring and Cloud Man, but Slash and Turbo Man have a problem that links to a certain robot master: Nitro Man.

For Slash Man, as cool as it would be to have a robot learn unnatural core attacks, let's take a look at the proposed Slash Claw. Cutter swift is a core attack that would become too common here. Quick Boomerang is fine due to how differently the attack would (probably) work from Slash Claw, but then there's the problem with Wheel Cutter. If we have Slash Claw, which would most likely attack the front robot, and Quick Boomerang, which would attack any selected enemy, how would Wheel Cutter stand out? I would suggest we just have him be nature core. If someone REALLY wants a swift attack on him, there will be the core change mechanic by the time these guys come out, so I don't see the problem.

As for Turbo Man, this may by more of a personal nitpick, but it always felt to me like Nitro Man was just a redesigned, slicker Turbo Man. The problem is, we want the robots to be diverse in this game, so having two robots with swift core, pitiful defense and good attack and defense is redundant. I would think that Turbo Man should stay flame core, but I am obviously not running this game.

tl;dr version: The way I see it, this is how I think it should be handled:
Make Slash Man nature core with Slash Claw being nature and cutter core.
Keep Turbo Man as Flame Core so he can be somewhat different from Nitro Man.
Although, who would actually listen to me? I'm just some guy too lazy to try to get higher on the leaderboard that barely even attends chat meetings anymore.

I guess you could say I'm living on a prayer, 'cause I'm halfway there! 512 Starforce! Sure, it may not be as impressive as many other peoples' Starforce counts, but maybe this means I'll get 1024 Star Force by the time there are 1600.

Meanwhile, in a secret base that totally isn't just some abandoned factory.

Hmm, it seems there has been quite some discussion around this supposed caped robot and his team. Apparently, various heroes are preparing to go after them. Not many people or robots need a hired gun anymore, but maybe this could be my chance to get a new job!

Introducing... Combat Man! Gun for hire!
Core: Missile and Cutter
Model: WBN-002 (Weapon Business Number)
Abilities: He is not the fastest, the most durable, or the smartest, but he has experience with many kinds of weaponry and can use almost any tool, whether it be a Plasma Blaster, Throwing Knives, or even a Missile Launcher.
Theme: Pursuit ~ Wanting to Find the Truth

Everything is a game for jolly Top Man. Life is a bowl of cherries that Top Man is gulping down after being dared by one of his Spin Fiends. He doesn't take his work too seriously, being naive to Wily's heinous intentions. Top Man is just here to dance, spin, and maybe fight a robot, if that is what he has to do. He is put at odds with all work no play robots like Shadow Man or Proto Man, but often goofs around with Gravity Man, seeing who can go through their stages fastest.

Snake Man's job is too use his Search Snakes to map out and scout areas he is sent too, but this feature is often used for espionage when in combat. Due to the constant observation from the outlines, he has become detached from those around him. Snake Man looks upon others cynically, even his own brothers and Dr. Wily. The only hobbies Snake Man has outside of his work is caring for his robo-snakies in his stage and stalking Toad Man, just to elicit a frightened response. Snake Man uses a whistle like sound similar to that of a pungi to give commands to both his Search Snakes and his robo-snakies.

If he has just discharged, Spark Man seems like a relaxed, slow going robot. However, when Dr. Light and Wily were designing Spark Man for high output and input charges, they had to design power sources around the personality chip on his core. This means as Spark Man gathers more and more electricity, he starts to become erratic and anxious due to the electrical interference to his personality chip. Spark Man has been taught how much electricity he can withstand be measuring his electrical interference levels before burning himself out. Spark Man will eventually get to the point where he will be desperate to discharge on anything with his Spiked hands for fear of his own life. In long term situations he can control his current easily. However, in short term high power situations, such as combat, he is a ticking time bomb that only his opponents can delay.

Due to his alien origin, Shadow Man had to have almost six full months of reprogramming done by Dr. Wily all under Dr. Light's nose. Wily has left parts of Shadow Man's original program that seem aid in making strategies for combat, but this sometimes leads to conflicts with his new programming, creating minor glitches. Shadow Man is fully aware of his disconnect to the fellow third generation robots, but Shadow Man does not care. He focuses solely on the mission given by Wily and nothing else. As a matter of fact, Shadow Man only seems to only trust and interact with Wily, as he feels it his responsibly for being reactivated by him.

Needle Man is a perfectionist to the point that people have labeled him OCD. What seems random and overly complicated to others has a completely reasonable algorithm or formula too it, and Needle doesn't understand why other robots can't see them. Needle Man uses these seemingly pointless attack patterns when firing his Needle Cannon, but it is planned for each possible way the opponent could try to counter. He knits as a past time, but not crocheting. Knitting is precise work, unlike crocheting, which seems too unorganized too him.

Magnet Man can be described as incredibly loyal and faithful to those he knows well. The problem is, he is often take advantage of his gullibility, as he can pretty easily be tricked into relationships. He's able to turn his magnets on and off at will, so he is not constantly getting attracted to robots like some assume. Magnet Man is not really a romanticist either, but he plays it up when someone makes an attracting joke. Unlike his brethren, he struggles on whether to serve Light over Wily. It is a very polarizing decision to him.

Someone who has to constantly look at himself has to love his own face, but Gemini Me-err, Man, goes beyond that; he is obsessed with himself. However, only the first Gemini Man truly has personality. The clones are more like echos or reflections of the original. He's not necessary narcissistic, either. He has a good deal of respect for his fellow third generation robots and even some Light bots like Mega Man and Elec Man. The only thing Gemini Man loves almost as much as himself is playing tricks, which tends to come naturally when having clones. Mirror Pranks? Check. Costume Pranks? Check.

Contrary to popular belief, Hard Man is not dumb. He is soft spoken and a gentle giant, not always seeing the need to talk. Any time Hard Man isn't being asked to do manual labor, he enjoys forming ceramics with clay he can find in his canyons. He is closest friends with Heat Man, their more easy going attitudes complementing each other. Hard Man often will transport any ores Heat Man wants to smelt, and Heat Man fires any ceramics Hard Man has formed in return. Although this isn't really incorporated into his battle strategy, he loves fighting films such as the "Rocky"s and the original "Karate Kid".

Part 2 is below.

The Quick Boomerangs end up being pulled into Dive Man through the hole in his chest. One punctures his inner reservoir, causing water to spill near his core. In case something like this ever happened, there is a temporary shutdown to prevent him from being broken beyond repair.
Well, looks like you got me. It doesn't matter, I had two very good fights. I commend you, Ninja Man.

He gives a salute before shutting off.
