619. Ideological Clash

(This is not easy to do mobile lol)

what type of computer do you use? i've found MSPaint to be one of the easiest to use as far as making comics. if it's a newer version of windows you can always download an older version.

1. Which subseries of Mega Man is your favorite?
2. What do you enjoy doing outside of MMRPG?
3. What's your favorite part of MMRPG?
4. Favorite movie of all time?

@Reisrat : well, short answer is "Plant Man Logic" but we can get into depth with that.

The accepted spriting rule for NES has been 3+1 (three colors and one transparency) but it's more realistically 2+1+1 where it's two colors, plus one black, plus one transparency. so with one layer, it's 2 colors +1 black +1 transparency to fill in the layer. Most Robot Masters and NES sprites overall would utilize either one or two layers. Somehow, Capcom in the waning years of the NES figured out a third layer technique that allowed Plant Man to function in high capacity without causing lag or flicker. So going with that, I broke her up into her separate layers that could/would allow her to function on the NES without causing too much lag, if any, if using whatever Capcom figured out in 1993

These can be for anyone:

1. What is your favorite Element that we use here at the Prototype
2. Who is our favorite Robot Master? (official, spinoff, noncanon, fanmade, etc)
3. What gaming series, if any, is your favorite and why?

@Bt Man : well i get the comics every month at my local comic book shop. but i will relay some ways that one can view the comics and get caught up. just not in the public forum ;)

@Bt Man : they are available online. Just have to know where to look

Another update with another random character. For those that don't read the Archie comics (not sure why you wouldn't, go do it, it's awesome), this is Tempo in her armored form, known as Quake Woman.

I'm very reluctant about sharing this sprite version of her since there are multiple versions of her floating around on the interwebs (and most of them are over-designed 8bit and don't look good) so i'm wary of showing my version of her. Let's just say that sprite theft occurs too often in the spriting circles. In any case, here she is.

@TheDoc : huh, thought i replied to this last night...
what I normally do is sprite it out on the computer first, then once it looks good enough, i just use the image on the screen as a guide to put the beads. that's the best way to do it. with the beads first, if there's any mistake you need to redo almost everything! it's best to get it right on the easier paint program than with the beads.

Updating with some I've had hanging up for a few years now.

First up, Baroque:


and a BCA Group shot I had on my original banners for BCA. Most of these sprites have been updated since then...

@Retro Pikachu : Assuming you're referring to the last of Mega Man's alternate costumes for Smash. That's actually Top Spin, which IS in his arsenal. All of his colors correspond to weapons in his arsenal that he uses.

apparently i'm a ghost now

oooooOOOOOOOooooooOOOOOooOOOOoooo

these look great, MetalMan. Glad someone else dabbles in the perler beads. I've made a few myself but don't want to distract from your thread. Keep up the great work!

-Crossed Circuits
-Working Class Robots

Thanks for all the hard work on this Adrian. We really appreciate it!

Disco's update was very subtle. While not much seemed to have changed, a majority of the sprite (namely the body) was a completely overall; but at the same time I tried to maintain Adrian's original concept. Very hard to edit someone else's character for them.

Mobile Roll I just have multiple issues with. While technically in style with Classic, it just stands out like a sore thumb when compared to the rest of the Classic cast. While she may only appear taller due to her giant hair and outlined bow, the details are worse when you actually compare heights of the faces, specifically the mouths of her compared to Mega Man. She's taller than him which is....just not right. The "new" sprites are her Classic dress but at the same time, with some redone hair.

(I just sent Adrian the same sprites but in her MM8 dress seen in MM10. Gonna try to get them integrated in the system for alternate use on the board and maybe the prototype? But shhh, it's a secret to everybody)

Bass is a redesign I've had for a while that I use. It's an edit of the MM10 sprite that isn't on good terms with everybody, but this tends to keep him more in line with his design without being a completely obvious Mega Man edit. He's taller in this form, with more details and actual shoulder pads.

Hope you all like the changes/updates/alterations. Now if Adrian will let me get my hands on his Rhythm...

I have a whole thing written out regarding Quint...i'm just gonna leave the link here:
Theory on Quint's Effect on the Mega Man Universe

I played an English-text version of Rockman & Forte for the SNES which made playing it a lot easier due to no screencrunch that existed on the GBA release. It was an interesting playthrough with the map mechanics and the Superbolts. King was no joke as a boss.
Mega Man 5 was very blah as a game to me. All the previous games introduced some new mechanic that altered gameplay....Mega Man 5 gave us Beat. Even Mega Man 6 gave us the new adapters which lead to the Super Adapter in Mega Man 7. MM5 was just....there.

How's about that Mega Man Soccer though!

@Toastman, according to Adrian, you need to get a super effective hit on the robot master. Basically, using the weakness can result in a core being dropped

All aboard the MMRPG Hype Train!! *choo choo*

@MegaBossMan
Crystal as in Crystal Cave, the Flash Man stage. all of the Fusion stars are made up by taking the first name of the first robot master's stage and combining it with the last name of the second robot master's stage. I didn't mean Crystal as in Crystal Man

Still plugging along. I'm telling you, having a spreadsheet with all the potential Fusion stars makes this so much easier. Just wanted to relay that I'm up to #300 and have collected all the Time Man-possible stars as well as all Waterfall- and Rainy- type stars. Crystal- is next on the agenda.

fair enough. Suppose I should contribute something:

Apparently these are the official images of helmetless X and Zero

Why did you copy/paste the entire Trivia section of the MMKB Mega Man 4 page?

While not as impressive as getting ALL of them, I'm getting there. Just collected my 200th Fusion Star. Grind Grind Grind Grind Grind...

with 576 obtainable stars...this is quite a daunting challenge. I keep forgetting to snap some screenshots but I will say that I do love the name combinations:

Space Station Star (Ring/Crash)
Submerged Jungle (Dive/Ice)
Sky Laboratory (Air/Quick)
Preserved Boneyard (Wood/Skull)

Can I suggest possibly a way to listen to the remixed music in the game from the website without having to go into the game? Some of those tracks sound fantastic.

Did you know that in Mega Man 3, Rush was supposed to have a Drill mode that was eventually scrapped when it was found that players could skip most of a level. The drill was eventually used in Marvel v. Capcom

Chaos linked me here. I blame him

Wood Man's defeat quote is "Wont somebody please think of the trees?"

should be "Won't" with an apostrophe between the n and t

@Requiem: indeed about Wily. But just Disco's whole premise intrigues me. That Wily wanted to mimic Roll's...well, role. But also that Adrian seems to be taking into account the storyline of MM10 makes it fit into the canon nicely. Even the naming is perfect "Disco to rise against the oppression of Rock and Roll"...love it.

Hi all, I'm Rhythm_BCA (the BCA stands for my sprite comic, Bass Comic Adventures; and to differentiate myself from other Rhythms). I'm from Boston, MA and feel like I've been playing Mega Man games since the very beginning.

I'm really enjoying this game so far. A familiarity of the RM weapons help make this fun. (I do wonder if I'll be able to "collect" more Robot Masters at some point, I have one per doctor so far) but so far I'm excited to play on. I really like the concept behind Disco. She presents an interesting idea that could be expanded upon in many ways. Overall, great job and keep up the great work!
