TailsMK4 | Mega Man RPG World Leaderboard

...Honestly, the fix I see is to buff Mega Man, as SSN might need that card's strength to deal with other cards like MegaBoy's characters. I will admit my cards are a bit powerful, but I have to do it like that due to other cards being just as powerful or more powerful than mine.

...Honestly it's your call, Mikey, but I figure I would help the decision making with some data...

"Active" Top 50 members not yet interviewed:

AlphaShurikenGSXR
rotomslashblast (MAYBE...hasn't been on since before the New Year)
Crystal Miner (MAYBE...hasn't been on since Christmas Eve)
Lego
DaCrashBomber

Imo, you have fewer choices if you try to expand to the top 100. I only counted three possible candidates, and 2 of those haven't logged in since before New Year's Day, leaving Beta Man as the only likely candidate. I'd say maybe after #15 or #16 do some repeats (and I would for now count ZeroDXZ and Shadownnico as "inactive").

...I would go with 3 months, and I thought this contest was a great idea. I think a lot of possible Grand Division candidates were eliminated early being my main problem, but that was due to it being random. The final match for me...let's just say that neither were my favorite, so I only voted for the loser to try to keep it close...otherwise I would not have voted in that battle. Maybe next time...

...Honestly thought Mega Man would have been the finalist instead...so this final round for me is disappointing. So my vote is based on who is trailing at the time I'm posting...so Sunstar gets my vote to keep this close, but I don't care who wins at this point since neither one was a serious character that I liked.

...I was wondering about that too, why are there only five slots when there's six classes to choose from? Is there any reason Ender can't join in this as Bomb Joe?

...This sounds fun. Ultimately none of the remaining themes appealed to me, so I went based off of what starting stats are higher than others. I have decided on Guts Joe due to its stats. Whenever I make my character in an RPG here on the Prototype anyway, Speed is one of the weakest, so I guess I'll be the bulky heavy cannon for the team.

...Since I found out I actually have 31 cards, I will put Field Star and Fusion Star out of my deck and add Laser Recoil and...

Name: Spike Armor
Core: Cutter
Description: For this turn only, any Cutter damage is negated and the user's next Cutter-type attack has its attack increased by 20. The attack goes up by 30 instead if the user's Core is Cutter.

...So the fact I currently have 24 cards, here are 6 more support cards to finish my first revision of the deck.

Name: Thunder Beam
Core: Electric
Description: Gives the single use of Thunder Beam. Flip a coin to determine how many bolts will hit the target for 30 damage each. If heads, all three bolts hit. If tails, only the first bolt hits.

Name: Coin Hold
Core: Space
Description: Gives the single use of Coin Hold. Flip a coin to determine which side of the coin will always take effect for the next 3 turns, both the user and the opponent.

Name: Low Gravity
Core: Space
Description: Gives the single use of Low Gravity. Flip a coin. If heads, the user avoids all attacks from the opponent on this turn and deals 20 damage to the opponent. If tails, the attack does nothing.

Name: Laser Cannon
Core: Laser
Description: Compliments the user's attack to deal an extra 10 damage to the opponent. This can be used three turns in a row, but the effect is lost if the user is disabled.

Name: Spark Armor
Core: Electric
Description: For this turn only, any Electric damage is negated and the user's next Electric-type attack has its attack increased by 20. The attack goes up by 30 instead if the user's Core is Electric.

Name: Cosmic Armor
Core: Space
Description: For this turn only, any Space damage is negated and the user's next Space-type attack has its attack increased by 20. The attack goes up by 30 instead if the user's Core is Space.

...I think I will join the Wily Castle tournament. Might be my easiest of the three.

...Just wanted to mention that you HAVE allowed the use of effects like paralysis when I talked to you in the chat, Beta. Now, guess I'll use this space to add some more cards to my deck...I'll display this information in my profile as well for easy access.

Name: Ring Man
Core: Cutter
Health: 150
Attack 1: Ring Boomerang
Attack 1 Description: The user throws a wide boomerang that attacks the opponent, then rebounds attacking the opponent again, dealing a total of 30 damage. If an attack booster is used, the rebound hit still does 15 damage, but the first hit is affected by the booster.
Attack 2: Ring Hold
Attack 2 Description: Flip a coin to determine if the opponent will be prevented from attacking this turn. If heads, the opponent cannot attack with his character, though support cards can still be used, and the opponent also takes 20 damage (ignores resistance and weakness). If tails, the attack does nothing.
Attack 3: Ring Absorb
Attack 3 Description: Flip a coin to determine the boomerang used in this attack. If heads, the tiny boomerang thrown will deal 20 damage to the opponent and the user recovers 20 health (amount healed is equal to amount of damage the opponent receives, resistance included). If tails, a large boomerang is thrown, dealing 50 damage to the opponent, but the user also is exhausted from throwing the boomerang and loses 10 health in exchange. This attack is affected by boosters.
Resistance: Wind
Weakness: Flame

Name: Galaxy Man
Core: Space
Health: 200
Power: Calculated Mind
Power Description: Galaxy Man is so focused on the battle that Space Cores used on him last two turns instead of one turn normally.
Attack 2: Black Hole Bomb
Attack 2 Description: Galaxy Man will always attack second in a turn if this attack is used. He fires the Black Hole Bomb at his opponent and the damage done depends on the opponent's actions. If a support card was used by the opponent this turn, the bomb deals 60 damage instead of the usual 30 damage.
Attack 3: Coin Hold
Attack 3 Description: Flip a coin to determine which side of the coin will always take effect for the next 3 turns, both the user and the opponent. This attack does no damage to the opponent.
Resistance: Space
Weakness: Earth

Name: Plug Man
Core: Electric
Health: 150
Power: Anime Memories
Power Description: Plug Man gets inspired by the anime he's watched recently and starts his first turn with either an attack increase of 30 if Plug Ball is used, or if heads is flipped during Pleasant Chat, the next two Robot Master cards get an increase of 30 health. This only takes effect when he first joins a battle, not when he rejoins.
Attack 2: Plug Ball
Attack 2 Description: The user fires an electrically charged ball that rolls along the ground and damages the opponent for 30 damage.
Attack 3: Pleasant Chat
Attack 3 Description: Plug Man strikes a conversation with the opponent. Flip a coin to determine what happens when the conversation ends. If heads, the user gains 30 health and the next character card the user uses next also gains 20 health. If tails, the opponent gains 30 health. This attack does no damage to the opponent.
Resistance: Electric
Weakness: Crystal

Name: Sheep Man
Core: Electric
Health: 200
Power: Cloud Formation
Power Description: Unless Sheep Man is daydreaming, Sheep Man will form a cloud to cover himself during the opponent's turn. Flip a coin to determine if the attack hits Sheep Man. The attack succeeds if the coin is heads or the attack is Impact element.
Attack 2: Thunder Wool
Attack 2 Description: The user unleashes a floating piece of wool that fires a bolt of lightning at the opponent from above. Flip a coin to determine if an additional effect is applied. If heads, the attack only does the regular 30 damage. If tails, sparks also fly out from where the bolt strikes the ground, dealing an extra 20 damage. This extra attack is not effected by boosters.
Attack 3: Daydream
Attack 3 Description: The user spends this turn resting, and recovers 100 health by next turn. During this turn, Sheep Man's resistance is ignored, and no support cards can be used.
Resistance: Electric
Weakness: Impact

...Division 8 isn't going as expected...neither did Division 7.

Shade Man
Enker

...Might have to rely on some of my early picks to get what I consider an "ideal finale"...

Tron Bonne (!!!)
Shade Man
Bass
Enker

...Boss is...well...a boss, and usually you save bosses for last, so...

*throws a snowball at Meta*

...He's going to lose anyway, but I'm voting for Gemini Man regardless.

...Been inactive and likely will for a while due to a surprise Wii U for Christmas. Cheers to everyone and Happy New Year! (though I think I would return before then)

...So considering how the previous division went, I may do a somewhat surprising vote here...

Elec Man
Roll

I like all four, but I'm choosing these two.

...Welp, I almost didn't plan on coming on today, but I'm here now. *sees snowballs already being thrown* Better late than never, I guess.

*throws the snowball at Beta*

...I'll add some more Robot Masters to my deck soon, but I will go ahead and use my Zenny to buy a pack from the Slur Starter Set. After I add some more cards to my deck (maybe get my deck to around 20 cards or so), I might go ahead and pick someone to duel. Hopefully the rules will be explained then, just in case I miss anything from what I assume...

...Lots of favorites for me in this one...kind of sad some will be going in the first round. But, my votes this time will be...

Elec Man (Punk was cool too)
Sunstar
Roll (Would have voted for Megaman.exe if it wasn't Roll he was against)
Gemini Man (again, another opponent, I would have voted for Rush)

...I'm going to have to double post since I cannot see what I wrote (the first post of each page in this thread is glitched for me). To sum up what I previously said, I think the Eddie Lottery idea is worth consideration since I do think the number of summons for alt costumes is really unnecessary since the game is enough of a grind as-is. I feel less inclined to support the Eddie Item due to the limit of one item per turn, plus I think the situation where the Eddie Item is ideal is probably rare at best. I don't think players would have a real pressing need for it...they probably need to train more if they find themselves low on items.

...Honestly, bringing up the idea of alts for the lottery...makes sense. I do think the number of summons are quite unnecessary. The game is already quite a bit of a grind, so why not instead get more use out of those screws or what not? Eddie as an item, I'm not so sure on, since I think players aren't likely to get into a situation where they need more items, plus you are still limited to one item per turn, so you can't use any items you buy until the next turn. I support the Lottery, but not the Item.

...eh...let's do Terra, though I probably will go against him in the Grand Division.

...I picked all winners this time...I'm happy considering some of the losses I had in the past few Divisions...

Galaxy Man
Roll.exe

...Didn't know we could choose. Since three people already are signing up for the "Heroes", I'll be a member of the "Villains" team.

...Well, the mere fact you decided to host a forum game, I'm in. We need more forum games. This should be fun.

...So, from this set...

Galaxy Man
Saturn
Terra
Roll.exe (Classic series Roll might have a tough time in Division 7...at least this bracket doesn't look too bad for her, I think)

EDIT: I was off by 1 on the division, thanks for the correction Brimstone. Division 8 is just on my mind regarding a certain entry I supported when we were deciding who was going to be in...

...Well...Day 1 went surprisingly well considering it was just a shot in the dark. So that makes 3 suspects left...Meta for some reason agreed with me on Day 1, so I'm not sure what to make of that. I don't think at this point the Mafia would turn on its own kind, so I suspect Meta might be a Townie...so that leaves ThatOneEnderMan and StupidStudiosN as the other two. One is just as suspect as the other, so...I will say StupidStudiosN might be Mafia.

...To add to Boss's logic, Skull Man doesn't like heavy objects being smashed to his body...so in a real fight Knight Man would win. That's my vote.

...Granted! The sphere only shows white, though. White is the combination of all colors, but it is technically showing all colors...it's just you only see white.

I wish there was an extra day on the weekend. Two day weekends seem a bit short.

...I will do these votes.

Knight Man
Skull Man

...Well, I think we've seen from at least one game that no activity eventually leads to a Mafia victory anyway, so I'm going to let random.org determine who I pick...randomize the list 10 times...and choose the first person.

...Sorry, TheDoc, but unless people start acting, the Mafia will win. Random.org has chosen you.

...This has lost some steam. I will admit I'm not as active myself since I joined another community that is really fun to play in. But still, this will be managed as long as there are votes.

...I sense a bandwagon on a particular match...

Knight Man
Sigma
Skull Man
King

EDIT: I changed my vote since said bandwagon wasn't as large as I thought.

...Ideally I would be voting for Ring Man if it went according to how I envisioned it, but I will settle for my second place pick, Mega Man.

...And to think Round 1 started off so well for me. Least Mega Man and Bass.exe made it. ...Those are my votes, actually, those two I just mentioned.

...@MegaRokin21 I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to, so I'll cover both points:

During the story: Optional really, but if you find yourself struggling in a battle, it may help to level up a bit more. Seeing where you currently are, though, I don't think the rest of the battles are going to be that difficult, plus the fact you will have access to every robot's weakness by the time you finish Chapter 3 of Dr. Cossack's story.

After beating the game: Level 100 robots are just easier in general to use to get post-game content like Starforce since you're at a point where you can disable most robots in one attack. This is not also to mention that when a level 100 robot disables an enemy robot, your level 100 robot will gain bonus stat points, increasing your robot's overall stats even more!

Hope this info helped any, and welcome to the Prototype! If I did not answer your question, feel free to ask us what you are actually confused about.

...Division 3 totally didn't go as I hoped it would. Let's see if Division 4 is any better...

Time Man
Mega Man
Bass.exe
Ring Man

...It has not been two days since my last update, but we had some decent activity the past 24+ hours, so update time. Second, Bt/Beta Man is #9 in the list. We have 8 fighters left. And finally, due to the number of fighters getting smaller and smaller, I'm switching to survival mode now. No hard feelings for who I hurt, but the people that have the lowest HP are more likely to get targeted first...

...While I update the thread to allow someone else to host, should I even keep the records from this Mafia? Just checking.

...This is a good sign that activity has picked back up again due to the field of fighters getting smaller and smaller. Since activity has picked up, I'll refrain from using the -2 bombs for now.

...And with increased activity comes increased goof-ups.

...I'll join this, and also neutral roles, eh? Hopefully this goes well so people also know how the neutral roles work.

...


Enker (Brimstone)

You are the shield of the Mafia, able to resist some damage and still fight.

Passive (Extra Life): If you are found guilty, you will survive, though your role will be revealed to everyone else (except in the case of a special ability attack, in which only your attacker will know who you are). Can only be activated once.

Active (Shield Generator): Select any target during the day phase (including yourself) and they will take no damage (votes or special ability) for that day. This ability will reactivate in two Days after used.


Guts Man (StupidStudios)

You are the backbone of the town, having dealt with many accidents while making repairs on the town all of the time. Your armor is very strong as a result.

Passive (Thick Armor): Your armor is strong enough that you are immune to Mafia attacks, but this ability decays as the days go on. After Night 1, your chances of being attacked by the Mafia go up by 5% every Night.

Active (Super Arm): You may choose to protect yourself from 3 votes for the current Day phase by PMing the Moderator. This doesn't protect against special abilities, but some protection is better than none, right? This ability can only be used every two Days.


Trill (Kibologist)

You are the leader of the Mafia, trying to control the Townies before they can fight back.

Passive (Revenge Armor): Anyone that places votes against you will also have the same votes cast on themselves.

Active (Temptation): Ask any user during the Day phase (have the Moderator perform this, don't ask the user yourself) if they want some protection during the Night phase. If they accept, the Mafia is prohibited from casting votes during the Night phase, but if the user that accepted the offer survives until Night again, they will join the Mafia side. They will still have the roles they had before, but now work for the Mafia. If the user that accepted the offer is the Super Townie, your role will be revealed to the user and the Super Townie will not be converted. This move goes on cooldown until after the user is attempted to be converted, and can be performed the next Day at that point.

Active (Double Strike): PM the Moderator a second user to vote on during the Day phase. This can be performed on any Day phase.


Mega Man (Retro Pikachu)

You are the leader of the Townies, seeking out the Mafia before they can control the town. You are concerned also about the well-being of one of the Townies in particular...

Passive (???): If you are able to get in contact with a specific Townie, then on every Day phase both you and the other Townie will be protected from 1 vote each. You also have your Mega Buster cooldown reduced by one Day.

Active (Mega Buster): You can forfeit a vote during the Day phase to charge up your buster (posting a vote in the thread anyway will reverse this ability and cause it to go on cooldown), and your vote will count as -3 the next Day. Once fired, the ability can be used again in two Days.

Active (Sense of Justice): Ask any user during the Day phase (have the Moderator perform this, don't ask the user yourself) if they want some protection during the Night phase. If they accept, the user is protected during the Night phase from any attacks by the Mafia (you are still subject to their attacks, though). When the Night is over, you will learn their role whether Mafia or Townie. If the user is a Mafia member, they also learn of your role. If the user was the specific Townie, though, they will also learn your role and you may communicate with each other, plus both of your Passives activate. This ability can be used on any Day phase with no cooldown.


So yeah, Game Over. Does anyone want to host the second Mafia?

...Day 3 is coming to a close now...and I will just say that if a Mafia member doesn't go down today or tomorrow, it might be the end soon...

Day 3

Plenty of debate revolved around the town, but ultimately it was decided to send one robot to the labs to be converted back to "normal". This robot turned out to actually be...


Elec Man

You are the source of power for the town, so you can use the town's power source to generate some chaos.

Passive (Thunder Beam): When you cast a vote, there will also be two randomly generated votes to go along with your vote. This may also include you as a vote.

Active (Disruption): You can choose for the next Day and Night phase (by PMing the Moderator), to prevent all communication with the Moderator by PM. This includes any special ability use (although special abilities that are still in effect at this time can be used), as well as preventing the Mafia from being able to attack during the Night phase. This can only be used every three Days.


The town found local Townie ThatOneEnderMan guilty of being Mafia...though again it's another strike against the town. The rundown came as this, after passive and active abilities being triggered:

ThatOneEnderMan - 2
TheDoc - 1
Kirbologist - 1


As day turns to night, the robots of the town find themselves slowly decreasing in number. If the Mafia can't be disabled soon, the takeover will be successful.


Night 3

The Mafia quietly snuck into the labs again and tried for a different robot this time. This one also was difficult since the core of the robot was located in a different part of the body. Morning came much too soon...

All of the robots reported for their usual routines, but found there were only four robots left. Seeing this chance, two robots suddenly attacked the rest of the group and disabled them. Then, the two robots left gathered together and brought up a screen, saying this to their leader: "This town is ours now. We will take over the operations of this town. Our first step is to convert the robots of this town to follow us. Since they are currently disabled, they will not resist us." A few hours later, all 6 of the Townies came online, and resumed their usual duties, unaware of the fact their circuits were changed so they would obey the Mafia...


The Mafia won...the town is now the Mafia's to control. So Game 1 has concluded with a Mafia victory. What team will win the next game? Until then, I shall reveal the roles of the remaining players, starting with the one disabled on Night 3.


Fire Man (TheDoc)

You are the sheriff of the town, making sure any evil-doers are rightfully punished and disciplined.

Passive (Justice Flames): Your sense of justice has been refined over the years and thus resist any attempts by evil to attack you. If the Mafia attacks you, a coin will be flipped instead. If it's heads, the attack is thwarted. If it's tails, however, the attack is successful.

Active (Fire Storm): You may choose on any Day (by PMing the Moderator), to instead give your vote a strength of -2 and a two vote resistance on yourself. This can be used on any Day, but it disables the Justice Flames for that Night.


Sorry TheDoc, the coin came up tails.

...I guess updating this every two days seems to be just right...

...Granted! You now live (at the time of this posting) at the South Pole, where the sunlight reaches the sky almost 24 hours a day! When the seasons change, though, you will have darkness for 24 hours a day. Besides, how do you intend to sleep during the day?

I wish I was immune to all of the illnesses in the world, including the common cold.

...Little bit late of an update this time, but oh well.

Night 2

Despite the residents still being uneasy due to the recent Mafia activities, the rest of the day and night go by uneventfully. The Mafia, however, quietly entered the labs again to temporarily disable another robot...though they were unable to access this robot's core for some strange reason. Morning seemed to approach so quickly after the struggle resumed, so the Mafia had no choice but to beat a hasty retreat. In the morning, the robots are relieved to find that everyone survived the night during the usual start of the routines. The question is...who was the target and how did they survive?


The Mafia failed to disable a robot in the night, so Day 3 begins without much confusion this time around. Will a Mafia member truly be convicted this time...?

...Think I've waited long enough to resume this. Not everyone voted, but oh well, there was enough to bring this day to an end...

As the day draws to a close, the robots tallied up the votes. The results were not as they expected due to some passive abilities being triggered along the way, but there was enough to mark one person as a Mafia member. As such, the robot chosen was brought into the labs for some cleaning of its circuits. The robot's core and I.C. chip was preserved, though, so the robot can come back to work after the Mafia situation is taken care of. Sadly, though, we must say goodbye to...


Cut Man

You are the most active individual of the town, making sure the town is productive as it always has been. You are able to pull off a few strings as a result as you see fit.

Passive (Rolling Cutter): Any votes you make will count as -2 (aka two votes against said person).

Active (Cutting Off): If you suspect someone doesn't have the town's best intentions in mind, you can choose by PM to "attack" that person and have any votes and special abilities currently in play (Passives cannot be blocked) disabled. Their votes will not count and any active special abilities are put on cooldown. This can only be used every two Days.

The breakdown came to this, after passive and active abilities were triggered along the way:

MegaBossMan - 2
TheDoc - 1
Brimstone - 1
ThatOneEnderMan - 1
Retro Pikachu - 1


After this, the robots retire for the night.


Night 2

Now any remaining Mafia members make their move...

...Not doing it for two days straight really piles up the work. This should change the standings a bit...especially since I can confirm that Tobyjoey is indeed out.

Posts ignored:

#223 (TheDoc): Attempting to heal someone already disabled.
#224 (Tobyjoey): Double hurting and healing before letting anyone else vote. (I would have let this slide since TheDoc's post was ignored, but then TheDoc goofed again later, so I can't allow the exception for fairness)
#226 (TheDoc): Attempting to heal Rhythm_BCA twice in a row.

...Oh heck with it, let's throw in a -2 bomb.

Day 2

As the night turns to day, the robots perform their usual opening routines, which includes making sure every robot is accounted for. Usually every robot is punctual...however today one robot is missing. Two robots suddenly show up, alarmed at what they saw in the town square. In the middle of the town square was a robot that was not moving. Upon further inspection, the robot's core and its I.C. chip (a chip that gives the robot its unique behavior) were removed. The only robot that did not show up for the usual routine was...


Roll

You are the nurse of the Townies, protecting the innocent whenever possible. You feel overwhelmed, though, and wish for the assistance of the Super Townie soon.

Passive (???): If you are able to get in contact with the Super Townie, then on every Day phase both you and the Super Townie will be protected from 1 vote each.

Active (Roll Buster): If you believe someone is being wrongly considered to be Mafia, you may shield that user (by having the Moderator do it) from 1 vote. This cannot be performed on yourself. This ability can be used on any Day phase with no cooldown.

(Note: Roll was a robot in which the Passive was disabled unless a condition was met, then it was changed. Unfortunately, the condition will not be fulfilled now.)


This puts the town in an uproar as one of their own was disabled during the night. The disabled robot was placed into the labs to analyze how it was disabled. Everyone is uneasy, but they proceed to do their usual duties, seeing as nothing else can be done now regarding their friend.


Sorry Meta, but the Mafia has disabled you, so for this game you are done, sadly. As for the rest of you, anyone willing to take a guess at who is Mafia?

...Performing a double post since it is now time for the game to begin! Everyone has been PMed their roles, so we are all set!

Day 1

It was a peaceful day in the town as the residents went about their business...until suddenly a large discharge of energy was unleashed in town square! Everyone seems to be ok, but there's two problems: everyone knows who they are, but they cannot tell apart anyone else...they all look like Robots! To add to the trouble, there's a head count of two extra Robots...could the two extra Robots be the Mafia?!

Choose wisely, everyone, as the fate of the town rests on your hands! You can either vote for a specific player or abstain if you feel you must wait this out (though don't delay too much or the Mafia will pick out the Townies!). Special abilities can also be activated by PMing me. Once more, do NOT tell anyone who you are (unless you're Mafia, then feel free to share your role with the other Mafia member)! Good luck everyone!


EDIT: Since NO ONE wanted to post, I'm going to Night 1 now.

Night 1

Afraid to pick anyone that might be innocent, no one stepped up to vote...so instead the robots resumed their normal duties and then went into the robot labs to recharge for tomorrow. While the robots plan on their activities for tomorrow, two robots meet in a different part of the town to discuss their move...

Mafia, it's time to choose a victim. Choose wisely...I'll be expecting a PM from you guys shortly.

...GRANTED! You are enjoying your freshly made Pumpkin Pie and reading the ingredients of said pie...and the first ingredient in the pie is something you're highly allergic to. It's not serious, but you get a bad case of a runny/stuffy nose, watery eyes, and occasional diarrhea for the rest of next month. Whether it'll go away in time for Christmas is yet to be seen.

Speaking of allergies, I wish I could get rid of my milk allergy.

...Thinking I might throw another -2 bomb soon, but not this time.

...Mafia members can really use any kind of communication as long as Townies cannot see what you're discussing. This can be PMs or a private channel in the chat, for example. This can be done Day and Night. During the day, everyone will post here debating who might be Mafia. I will allow some discussion even if you don't plan to vote (Abstain) or have already made your vote, but wish to talk anyway or change your vote, but it must be related to the game in progress.

...Well...there might not be any more players, but I will have sign ups open for one more day. Tomorrow I will send the roles out for everyone. Another player would help out the Townies since the current game setup will have 3 Mafia members and 5 Townies! In the meantime, if anyone has any questions regarding the game, feel free to ask them.

...After considering all of the battles in each of the Divisions, I have come up with this list for Division 1.

Blade Man (sorry Boss, countering you here)
Pharaoh Man
Buster Rod G
Pluto

I, too, did like Mega Man Volnutt, but opted for Pluto instead.

...I would have healed you, Toby, but since you hurt me, I feel I should return the favor instead.

...Counting Kirbologist, that makes seven players. While I can work with this number, I would prefer at least two more so the game can last a little while. I don't have a deadline set up yet, but probably I'll more than likely just stop accepting players once I decide I'll work with what I have.

...Carefully considering each of the groups, I have decided that I would prefer these not be in the competition:


Group A:

Iris
Magma Dragoon
Quint


Group B:

Green Biker Dude
Hidden Phantom
Wind Man


Group C:

Ring.exe
Auto
Duo.exe


That's all for now.

...And with my vote, ZeroDXZ joins the others backstage, frustrated that they lost, but inspiring to perform better next time.

I wish I could forget things I don't want to remember.

...Well, I'd say no one really has stayed where they were before the last few updates...with the options to hurt and heal slowly being limited, everyone is starting to get affected now. Who knows where this is going to end up...

...@Bt Man : You do get your Mega Man game, but you're playing as the Mega Man featured on the cover of Mega Man 1 in a real life setting!

I wish I had more time to do what I want.

...Since now we have a #18, a -2 bomb has been dropped into the competition, taking away 2 HP from everyone still alive. The list has been updated on the first post, but I will not repost it here. Resume with the blows as usual.

...Think I should update this before more confusion ensures. DaCrashBomber, Boss is not on the list, but he is able to heal and hurt others as usual. Check out note 3 to confirm with this yourself. By rule 5, though, he cannot hurt you again until after his next post. What also has slipped people's minds, though...AlphaShurikenGSXR is still alive, but barely! Even if he does get disabled, though, he can still hurt and heal others.

So when I am posting in this thread from now on, I am just updating the list. Also, this is directed at Top, but I'll put this in the first post as well: even if you're not in the list, you can certainly participate in the hurt and heal activity yourself...just that it's impossible to break rule 4.

So I will be adjusting the stats just a tad before I do my randomization. And the randomization results are... Hurt Crystal, Heal Meta.

...Perhaps I set the health a little too high...anyone object to a global loss in health to shorten the game a bit? I was thinking -2 HP for all. I also went ahead and added Mikey's suggestion regarding repeat hurting and healing on the same people...that is a no-no until the final few members remain, then it's almost unavoidable. I have no idea if any of this occurred (it went from 6 posts opening night to 40+ in a single day), so I don't care if it's already happened, but it will now be enforced as of this post.

...This looks interesting...I guess I'll list my favorites from the series I know of, then...and to make this easier on myself, I'll vote on 10 from Classic and World (I consider them the same universe), and 5 each from X, BN, and Legends.

2. Sniper Joe
3. Elec Man
4. Gemini Man
5. Gyro Man
6. Tomahawk Man
7. Galaxy Man

21. Tron Bonne
22. Teisel Bonne
23. Servbots
24. Data

...Been a while since I've made a regular post. Anyway, I was going to go ahead and change the list since a few did voice some concerns...but seems people had a little fun anyway here, so I guess for now I'll let this roll.

Picking someone is hard...so my little gimmick will be to use a random generator...guess this one might do. Random List Generator

So when I use this, the person that is listed first (I won't add my name, of course), is going to lose some health to the person listed second. Running the generator...and this happened.

...Unfortunately, what I'm about to tell you is not possible in the update since Rhythm's abilities are being changed, but since this is the live game...

You will want to have as many high stat robots as you can on your team when you attempt to train any of the Support robots. An ideal place is Final Destination since you get full stat downloads when disabling a Robot Master. You should equip Roll with either the Swaps or the Shuffles that switch up Attack, Defense, or Speed, depending on which one you want to train. You already have the Roll Buster equipped, and that is good.

The idea is to switch the enemy stats with the stats of your trained robots so that Roll gets MANY points when disabling that robot. If Roll is unable to disable a robot normally with Buster Shot or a charged buster, use Roll Buster to bring the robot's defense down to 1. In that state, a single Buster Shot will do a TON of damage. I would recommend training Roll's speed first until she can always attack first under normal conditions (though do keep in mind some abilities like Quick Boomerang and Search Snake will move first regardless of whose speed is higher), then raise her other two stats.

Raise Attack first if you want Roll to deal more damage normally, though do be careful if the other robots get super high Attack, as they could knock Roll out in one blow. To prevent that, you can also train Roll's Defense first, and that might be the best way to go. You will have to use Roll Buster to break down the robot's defenses, but you will get the full Defense allowed with that disable.

This will take a while, but I was able to max out all of the Support robots using this strategy. Good luck!

...Some good news for those that find themselves with two or more copies of the same robot. There is a fix for it! Just follow the steps in this thread should you ever come across this strange bug, and your robot will be back to normal. If you want to avoid it in the first place, it only seems to occur either if your connection or Adrian's server is unstable at the time you are in a battle. Otherwise, this is just a general update with a couple new bugs regarding Crash Bomber and Magnet Missile, and a crazy battle encountered on Bonus Field II. Yay for more bugs?

...Yeah, everything you have is correct, Retro. So in this case, say I want to attempt Robbery on someone. I cannot request that action on Monday, right? Also, are we allowed more than one action a day (I'm assuming yes, but just making sure)?

...This sounds pretty fun, so I'm in. One question, though: if we want to do a certain action, then we have to PM you at a certain time?

...Haven't posted on here in a little while, so I think the double post can be excused. So yeah, I found yet ANOTHER bug that resulted from Rain Flush getting changed. This is now the third bug related to Rain Flush. Rain Flush's change was literally a game changer...

...So I learned about 30 minutes ago that we will be out to watch the second Avengers movie at around 30 minutes before the session (4:30 my time), so I will not be able to attend the session. I suppose if the session is fairly quiet that you guys could talk about any of the ideas I posted in my thread. Other than that, I will not be present in the session on Sunday in any shape or form.

...Personally, I'm against being able to copy boss abilities. If players can use boss abilities, then all the boss has going for it is basically a 9999-9999-9999 stat robot or higher with lots of health. If we absolutely must have boss abilities be copied, make them cost a lot of WE to use.

@TheDoc : Last I remember, King is going to be a boss.

@MegaBossMan : ...That's only a GUI/visual bug. Double check your defense for Snake Man. It actually went up despite the battle stats saying it went up by 0. This happened because your base stats were low enough to be awarded points in that category, but your current defense was maxed out, so although it APPEARED to go up by 0, it actually went up the usual amount. You'd notice this more often if you actually stat trained your robots... I do suppose I put that bluntly, but regardless, this is actually quite common to see once your stats get to 9999.

...Judging by the fact the battle finished in one turn, and that Toad Man is the first robot on the team (left-to-right), means your Toad Man used Rain Flush. If you cannot take out an opponent's Toad Man in one hit, bring a FULL team of robots. People that take Rain Flush lightly will be punished. I hope Rhythm learned something from this loss. Rain Flush is the ONE ability that even players like myself have to watch out for.

...I really believe that Hyper Storm should have the Explode weakness since that's the weapon that does the most to him, but Hyper Bomb does more to Buster...but when seeing Crash Bomber, Buster only takes 1 damage compared to Hyper Storm getting 2. With that said, I have to disagree about Buster's second weakness. It fits more for Hyper Storm to have that weakness since that's actually his official weakness. I would support Explode and Flame for Hyper Storm.

I agree that Buster's main weakness is Impact, though. Looking down the list, Air Shooter does 4 damage to Buster, but so does Bubble Lead. Among the four elements represented here, Impact is already covered. I'm leaning towards Water, otherwise Dust Crusher or Oil Slider would be x4 on him, and Mikey would not approve of a x4 weakness for a boss, or said boss having three weaknesses. :P

...One question for Rhythm: What gave you the idea to experiment with using beads to make sprites of characters?

Interesting hobby, so I'm just curious how it all began.

...Just got one question for Ender.

What is your favorite MM8BDM wad/mod and why?

That's all this time.

...I guess I'll start, just to get this going (and sorry if I end up coming up with a couple you were personally going to ask, Mikey).

1. How did you find out about the Prototype?
2. Do you consider yourself a Retro gamer (preferring to play the games a few generations behind the current gen), or a Modern gamer (always seeking to play the newest games), and for what reason?
3. If you had a choice of three difficulty levels for a game, which would you most likely pick (and why): Easy, Normal, or Hard?
4. What is your favorite activity besides gaming/internet?
5. If you had to mention your biggest blessing in life, what would it be?


There, that's my limit, and a nice range of questions at that.

...Decided to maintain a Bug Report thread instead of creating more threads for every bug or weird occurrence I find in this game. Three new reports added, only one of which is easily reproducible...the others I think are a freak accident at best.

...Once again, I have problems staying in the chat while at school...so yeah, if I'm online on here during the day, but not in the chatroom, it means I'm at school. I would instead be hanging out in the legacy chat, but I think we've already retired it at this point.

...I assumed that Dark Towers would be a random occurrence when I suggested that, but if it's going to be story related, I guess that would make sense. I guess you could change it to Dark Elements maybe only appearing in Starforce/Late-Story battles on Easy.

Also, the idea by MBM sounds good too. I think it could have been partly covered by the desire for increased stats, but I guess following up on charges wouldn't be a bad idea either.

...Congratulations ThatGuyNamedMikey and TheDoc. The mods of the forum should indeed be those that are active and with open minds. I have no problems at all with either of you being contributors. See you guys around!

...Once again, Xat's infinite "Are you a Human?" questions. Been hanging out at the legacy chat, will continue to do so for another hour.

...Sure enough, it affects my Bright Man now, which makes either Toad Man solo or both robots risky. Maybe for safety measures I should bring Bubble Man along as well. On the other hand, I can use this to my advantage as well...the other Toad Men love spamming Rain Flush too.

...I will not be able to attend the session today due to the fact I will be at my sister's house an hour before the session begins. We're having Easter dinner over there, so I expect to be a few hours away. I will probably do my usual thing and discuss my thoughts in the Xat chat sometime after the session.

...For some reason the Database got the stats reset, and it's affecting the game. Even Mechas are at default stats, and for Gen 1, that's a buff for them. Either something went horribly wrong a few nights ago...or this is a sign that Adrian is preparing to release the Update very soon.

...I do suppose some items before stood out more than others, so I understand the changes made to held items, disappointed as I am (guess I'll probably resort to either using Weapon Tanks or the 1-Ups, or Cores, we'll see). As for the AI, I keep thinking personally how the AI in the game could be much better, so I'm interested to see what changes to the AI happen in Hard Mode.

...This will be a typical routine for me now. While I'm at school, I'll be in the Legacy Chat since Xat's "Are You a Human" catch assumes I'm a bot even if I do the activities. So yeah, going to the Legacy Chat.

...Honestly, I'm surprised. This kind of made up for the day I had (when you got two tests in the same day...ugh). I can imagine the strategies involved when abilities like Mirror Buster get added...this update is so huge that it's going to change how Player Battles are won so much. I would say I cannot wait, but...I can. I know how much of a big project this game is, so I'm patient. Seeing the Killers being added, though, ought to make this more interesting.

...In the legacy chat for now since Xat still thinks I'm a bot.

...I hate Xat so much. If you don't register an account on Xat, you're going to get a never-ending series of questions asking if you're human if you access on a different connection then what you normally use for the chat. I won't be going on Xat anymore while I'm at college. I'll probably move to the legacy chat while I'm at college.

...I have returned to the top 4 after much BP grinding. I do not intend at this point to get back among the REALLY hungry BP folks (aka the top 3), but I do intend to perhaps grind to 300 billion or some mark to distance myself from the rest of the Leaderboard. At least I can mostly grind stats for my robots without worrying about defense since the people that can target me are either inactive or do not have much interest at all. So yeah, in a sense, I am back.

...How about we dedicate a development thread to finishing off the abilities, then?

I thought a while back that Slash would make more sense as Nature. I think we should keep the 2nd tier ability "Slash Claw", but I like the idea of something different for his first. Maybe Beast Charge?

I'd say Scorch Drive as Turbo Man's second tier sounds good, and it highlights the speedy side of him.

...This glitch doesn't occur with Rhythm for some strange reason. It's the same user too (CopyCat), and same ability (Rain Flush) with same robot (Toad Man). This is a strange bug...

...When no one else is in the chat, I constantly get asked if I'm a human when idling in the chat (even when I do complete the activity and sign in again). Since I don't want to create a Xat account since this is the only such chat I use, I am basically being discouraged from staying in the chat unless there's someone else there. If I am active in the community, I will be watching the Leaderboard activity as well, so I attempt to join the chat if I see a chat user online. Otherwise, don't expect me in the chat.

...This was exactly the reason why I stayed low on the Leaderboard...oh well, he won't get the big BP again. I'm keeping my strongest robots from ever reaching the PB except when I'm attacking someone myself.

@MangekyouAlphaZX : ...Unholy is not really a boss mod. I don't want to go into any details, but I personally despise that mod. A large majority of the regulars in the community actually dislike that game as well. I personally would recommend mods like Mega Man X Singleplayer, Bot Apocalypse, or Team Sneaking (all team-based mods, I should mention).

...Wow, even if we aren't getting any new fields or content like that, this still seems like a huge update. But yeah, ultimately I felt it was too hard to defend in Player Battles, but some of the new content and changes might make it much easier...if that happens to be the case, you can bet I'll return to be among the most dedicated of the players on here (though crazy high BP would make the climb interesting to say the least).

...Why are people all of a sudden resetting their accounts? Seems I started a new trend. I only did it so I could build my dream team back up again without people grinding on me.

@TheDoc : ...Looks like Ice Man is eluding you with the final Star. Regardless, you finally got your Starforce. You'll find battling to be so much easier now...perhaps almost boring.

...Considering I don't have much going on today, I should be able to make it at least the first half of the session tonight. I'll be online for a while anyway playing the game.

...I like the fact that we got some activity for once in the top 50. There's quite a few new additions to the top 50 that have even made it to the top 20 now. The bar keeps getting set higher that separates the dedicated players from the casual. A word of advice especially for TheDoc...get your Starforce up if you want to stand any chance of beating anyone in the top 3. Up here, it is VERY unusual if no robots from either side get disabled in one turn. Heck, even with all of the grinding I've done personally, I can get DESTROYED pretty easily by Boss or Mikey. At least we only are competitive in BP count...we never battle each other since we can easily dish revenge against the other to avenge a loss. Of course, it will take some more time before you can challenge the top 3 directly, so you still got time to prepare...

@MetaKirbSter : That's Boss on that picture, not Mikey.

...Well, I just lost incentive to finish the rest of the Fusion Battles. Oh well, I do suppose this update will further separate the inactive players from the active players on the Leaderboard. Interested to see what new missions are coming, though...

...I guess it might depend on the browser, but there are now 35 pages of players on the Leaderboard. For me the page numbers are starting to overlap the links that lead to the next/previous/first pages. Might be time to start doing another row of page numbers starting from 31?

Comments:

1 vs 8 in Player Battles is common for me, and I can usually win them in one blow as well. I couldn't say I completed ZeroDXZ's "Strongest Mega-Man" challenge because I was on the first page long before ZeroDXZ even joined the game. I'm also the ONLY person that can say they have max stats on ALL robots AND got ALL of their Mechas to level 100. As for my own challenges, for now I'll mention these:

The Big Boost: Earn at least 100 million BP from a single battle.
Tougher Competition: Have top 50 members start appearing in Player Battles.
Among the Elite: Beat a top 20 member.
Fighting the Best: Beat a member who has a Star next to their name.
Power Training: Obtain the maximum amount of bonus stat increases from an opponent (download from a defeated RM 99 ATK, 99 DEF, and 99 SPD).

...Proto Man had Rain Flush, and I underestimated Gemini Laser's power against 9999 Defense. Nothing else to say.

...Yet another mind-blowing secret revealed by the man himself. I do know there was mention at some point that Starforce would possibly even be required to finish the main story, but the dark spire idea...I'm at a loss for words. If this thing showed up in Player Battles, it would basically come down back to robot stats...and for me, it would be like a trump card that would benefit my hand. I am really curious as to what else might be in store for the future, even after the Winter update (and here I was going to be content with alt skins and promises of rebalancing some abilities like Rain Flush).

I got to hand it to you, Adrian, you've always been full of surprises, and that's another thing that keeps me going in this game. The next time you perform a server backup, btw, my account should have level 100 mechas for you to experiment with. It's looking very likely I will be finished with the mechas by Christmas time.

...Darn you and your persistence Mikey. I guess I'm going to have to jump into the fray here. I won't comment on the ideas directly, but rather just say my thoughts of a few topics. I will just say you will lose credibility if you push your ideas too much, and if that happens, some people may not want to see what future ideas you will suggest.

First, a couple of mistakes you made: MM5 robots won't affect the story at all. MM3 didn't. Only MM1, MM2, and MM4 robots are going to be directly fought in the story. The other robots HAVE to be unlocked by purchasing them in the shop. I have no idea if any of the purchasable robots will have a direct impact on the story, but you do forget that the story isn't anywhere close to being finished. It's very possible the FD stages will get changed in the future, but until then, the robot levels are staying as is, no matter how much content is able to be purchased.

Second, you're overlooking the 'EVs'. Did you forget that robots can continue to get stats even after they've reached level 100? Sure, the robot levels may not change, but their stats can EASILY be increased still. Now tell me why story robots can't get the same treatment?

I'll make one other point...Starforce is not going away, so FORGET about trying to get rid of it. You forget that the Starforce itself CAN BE CHANGED. It's clear now that increasing damage by 1% each Star is out of control. Here's what I propose to solve the problem of the increasing power of Starforce:

1. Reduce the power of Starforce, maybe cut its power in half, and see how long it takes for the Starforce to become very strong again.

2. 99% Defense for Coreguard? That actually sounds very overpowered to me. I suggest 0.5% increase for each Core, up to almost half damage from elements. Couple that with...

3. For each Star, increase elemental defense by the same amount as power. So we're looking at about half damage again for elements.

This not only provides around 99.5% protection against elements (and this also makes it very easy to adjust since the protection only comes from two sources), but the overall power of Starforce is greatly reduced, making it VERY unlikely to get to those extreme examples Mikey mentioned earlier until much later in the game's development, and if Starforce ends up getting out of control at that point, we can just reduce its power some more. I'm even thinking that 99.5% DEFENSE against elements might even be TOO MUCH protection. The amount of power Starforce provides can always be adjusted. There's NO NEED to remove an element of the game that actually is pretty original compared to other games of the same genre.

It might be time for me to start making idea threads of my own...

...Probably better to just make a note on this thread for new players:

To unlock the support robots (maybe in the future we should set up another method to get them, or possibly allow them to get bought?):

Fail one mission in Dr. Light's story against one of the MM1 Robot Masters or against Bass and Disco using either Mega Man or one of your own MM1 Robot Masters. I'd say she is pretty hard NOT to get, but I'll put her here anyway since this starts the pattern...

Fail two different missions in Dr. Wily's story against the MM2 Robot Masters and/or against Proto Man and Rhythm using either Bass or your own MM2 Robot Masters. It needs to be a robot from Wily's story for the loss to count, and this is important: it HAS to be two SEPARATE missions. Losing twice against Heat Man only counts as 1, but losing against Heat Man and Bubble Man will unlock Disco.

Fail three different missions in Dr. Cossack's story against the MM4 Robot Masters and/or against Mega Man and Roll using either Proto Man or your own MM4 Robot Masters. It needs to be a robot from Cossack's story for the loss to count, so for example losing against Toad Man, Skull Man, and Drill Man will unlock Rhythm. Losing against Toad Man 2 times and Skull once won't do it. Losing against say Flash Man in Cossack's story (by selecting his field to appear instead of a MM4 RM's) will not count either.

...Maybe we need another method to unlock the support robots...

...Welcome, TheDarkAssassin, as well as many of the other newcomers that I missed before. Please, do not hesitate to ask questions about the game if you need help. Otherwise, hope you enjoy the game and good luck with the story missions! This is a game that keeps on giving if you can get past the first few chapters of each story.

...These kinds of bugs happen if you stay on a screen for too long without doing anything. For it to cause a blue screen on your computer, though? That's strange.

...Going to be in the chat most of this week, since I will be focusing on getting all of my mechas to level 100...can be a very boring thing to do, so I'll accept any company I get.

...I won't be able to make it tonight, as I do actually have to leave in a few minutes to head out to a movie with my family. Hope the meeting goes well regardless!

...It depends. If Adrian will have some unlockable alts, I'll have many more besides just Gemini Man's alts. Rather, the only robots I might not get any for might be robots I don't use like Hard Man (I have only spawned him around 50 times...).

...Actually, I think I'm all for buying the skins instead of unlocking them. We have a lot of grinding taking place already, so I think having some additional content that can be bought with Zenny would be a nice thing to have. Maybe make mecha grinding easier by buying items for them as well?

...All right, so I'm just posting here to remind myself to make sure I at least attempt to make it to the Friday Night session. I cannot say for sure I will get called to dinner around the time of the session, but I will at least appear in the chat before the session starts.

@TheDoc : ...To be honest, really, it's kind of your fault for not paying attention to the time. I've been on other websites besides this one where it sometimes times you out if you haven't posted anything in 20-30 minutes. Copy and paste your text onto a text file, or just make sure you copied your post. Try to post, and if it fails, just log back in and paste the text you just copied, and presto, you can successfully post this time. Try to remember that for next time and you won't have to retype your thoughts.

...So, when's the next session? I'm not sure if it's officially changed to Sunday, or if we will still have it tonight.

...Some interesting new stuff coming, though I find it funny my account ended up getting used to showcase the new stuff. Almost makes it look like I played a role in this update.

...I could have sworn that Rhythm had the same amount of health as Roll and Disco, but she has Mega Man's stats for some strange reason. I guess that's another thing to fix, is it? I didn't believe Mikey at first, but sure enough, the stats weren't that of a support robot.

...I'm sorry, but whatever time you guys are doing these sessions don't work for me anymore. I always miss the sessions because you guys are doing it around the time I'm having dinner, and usually my family watches a show or two during dinner. I really wanted to come tonight, but I forgot about the session, and when I did remember, you guys already finished at around 8 PM my time, I think. I don't even know what time of night these sessions take place anymore...

...

1: I'm really not sure what to make of this. Level 100 kind of takes a while to grind to unless you have a bunch of Starforce that boosts the EXP you get. I guess the fact we can no longer grind stats does make this sound more manageable, though, since it took me at least a couple of hours or so straight before I could boost someone to full 9999 stats, and this was doing it when Mechas could provide the full amount of stat bonuses, btw. So for me I do not mind if this gets changed or not.

2: Logically your idea makes sense. Overkilling robots just made getting 9,999 exp sometimes pretty easy especially if you hit the robot with a weakness. I'm for removing overkilling on robots (though we SHOULD still get to see how crazy powerful our attack was, and I'd like to see this for any of my robots getting killed as well), though I do oppose needing more exp per level. You're just encouraging more grinding if you do it this way, and if someone doesn't have a lot of Starforce, getting past level 100 is going to take a lot of time to do. Remember that you're not leveling up a small party of characters like in typical RPGs. You're trying to level up entire armies. Think about how much time it's going to take to accumulate over 200,000 exp just to go from level 200 to 201. Are you also going to impose a limit of 9,999 exp per robot? There are many other things that take time to do in this game, and I think people might lose interest if they have to grind to beat end-of-chapter robots just because they couldn't level up as fast as they could before. If you insist on requiring people to need so much experience to level up, then I also oppose overkill on robots just because it will take too long otherwise. I say this having spent days upon days of my time just grinding for stats (which no one else has done yet for all robots), and for getting Starforce. Most people probably wouldn't want to do tedious grinding like this, and that's just what you're suggesting here regarding robot levels.

3: I thought the idea here was NOT to have robots reach so high stats for more diversity? You might want to remember the attacks that ignore Defense or do a percentage of damage. Having 999,999 Energy would make for really long battles, too (plus it actually would require more memory to store. If you want a max Energy limit without requiring the game to have to do more work to run, set it to around 65,535. If you end up learning how to program later, you'll understand why I suggest that number). That said, having max stats myself, I would just be crazy about crazy high stats, but I will stick with my previous stance. If you just increase stat limits, then there's an even bigger divide between the people playing for fun and those willing to dedicate a lot of time to buffing their robots. I think Adrian's current system of NOT letting robots get higher stats would work. Your so-called "omniboss" can just have the true max stats, a crazy amount of Energy, and resistance (or greater) to elements that have weapons that tend to bend the damage formula to their liking. Unless robots can be kept in control when their stats get raised, we're all of the way back to where we are now where top robots OHKO each other.

4: This really doesn't make any sense. Mega Man himself doesn't get any stronger throughout the course of the games (in fact, he actually gets WEAKER transitioning from MM8 to MM9). While future robot enemies in the story should be stronger, I do not support adjusting base stats just because a robot was made later. If that was true, fighting a Stardroid would be hell. If robots get better base stats, why even bother training MM1 robots when MM9 and MM10 robots do everything they can do, but better? Why should I continue training Gemini Man when Jewel Man can do everything better than Gemini Man can? Why bother with Guts when we got Concrete?

5: It's crazy when even an ability like Thunder Strike can KO a max stat robot. Starforce is really out of control at this point, and that's now, not when more robots come onto the scene. Reducing the bonuses to Attack and applying it to Defense would really balance things out.

6: Why do these abilities have to go just because of a single boss that the top players will just easily whoop later? Rather, the fact robots no longer have max stats actually make these abilities quite useful again. If you're so concerned about these abilities against your "boss", make the boss immune to Neutral-type abilities. It's not that hard.

7: And here is where removing true max stats for robots becomes a double-edged sword. When your stats are maxed out, these kinds of abilities don't help you. Now that stats are being removed from their max amount, a check to see the weapons are really doing what they are saying they are is not a bad idea at all.

...Today I turned 24, so that's a bit of a celebration for me. I plan to mostly relax. The first thing I can do to relax is...get some sleep. 2 AM at the time of this post. :P

...Unless I'm mistaken, it is OK to put up a shield, as long as you DO NOT attack the Robot Master with that shield. Really at this point you shouldn't even need it anyway.

...It's not a lot of space. You don't have to list all of the weapons the robot is weak to. If there isn't a weapon that combines both weaknesses, just mention a strong weapon for each element. You don't have to list Thunder Strike as a weapon for a robot weak to Electric when Thunder Beam or Bright Burst is more commonly used, for example.

...All right, I think the number of threads relating to either chatroom is too much now. I'm not a mod on here, but I'm REALLY thinking these threads should be kept to a minimum. This really should have been posted on the "main" thread for either chat. Not to mention the title of the thread was pretty misleading. I thought it was something...more serious, then this.

Only thing I've got to say that's on topic...I don't trick-or-treat anymore. I just forget to come to the chat on Friday.

...Ring Man only drops Cutter Cores. Only Star Man can drop Space Cores at this point. Think about it, robots ALWAYS drop Cores that match their actual element. Ring Man is a Cutter-type robot that happens to be in a Space-themed stage.

...Although might be interesting for players to know, this guide could be a lot stronger. Here's some ideas to research if you want your guide to be much more useful:

1. List the best weapons to use against each robot to stand the best chance of getting the core to drop. For example, did you know the absolute best weapon to use against Star Man is Bubble Lead? Take a look at his weaknesses.

2. List the possible locations of each robot, both for players that have yet to obtain all Starforce and those that have all of it. If a robot isn't in the MM1 to MM4 group, the only way to encounter them aside from a Starforce battle is in Bonus Stage 2 (minus the Killers, which are in their respective battles).

3. Some other additional info like your Cores become more valuable the more Starforce you have for that Core. Reggae pays more for Cores if you have tons of Starforce for it.

Just some suggestions that should make your guide much more interesting to read.

...At first I thought it was another unnecessary thread about the chatroom, but then I realized this is advertising the new one, so all right, I guess this thread is ok. Xat is not my favorite kind of chat, but it's something I am fine using.

...I did some math just now using Adrian's Mega Man example, and my Mega Man has a total of 30,592 stat points placed on him (9999 for Attack, Defense, and Speed, plus 595 for Energy), and considering the scenario that my Mega Man gets his stats changed to 4462 for each stat, that leaves my Mega Man with 12,744 overflow points, and that's just Mega Man. For Roll's example, she actually has 30,890 stat points attached to her, because of the extra Energy she has. Doing the math here according to the example up above, I would end up with 13,026 overflow points. So, simplifying the math, let's just say that my support robots would have 13,026 points each, for a total of 39,078 overflow points. Add that to having 35 robots with 12,744 points a piece, and the absolute total overflow points I would have on my account is a crazy 485,118. So yeah...I'm not sure how those extra points will get used since my other robots will have a crazy amount of overflow too, unless perhaps I start with level 100 "max" stat future robots, I guess. Or perhaps the extra points could be applied to free level ups for the mechas? I have no idea...but I imagine my math is not too far off...

...I'll take the extra Zenny, I don't have much of that. :P

I am perfectly ok if my robots' stats are adjusted. Rather I'm super excited about the change coming since finally robots can have more Energy (I hope this means no more battles determined by the first attack of the match). I just kinda wish I knew what my new amounts are going to be, since I don't want to end up having my stats lower than what they could be. I was even willing to have my robots reduced to level 1 just so I can have a say on what their actual final stats were going to be. I'm also excited with the upcoming alt. costumes, so I think this new update should tide even the vets like us for a little while, now that matches should hopefully be a little more unpredictable, since I hope the Energy increase means the "max stat" robots shouldn't be able to get one-shot anymore. The mystery robot feature in the Player Battle selection screen also should be of help to those of us on the other side of the field we cannot control.

Adrian, I believe the upcoming changes will be WELL WORTH a little sacrifice on our parts. The only thing I ask? Don't burn yourself out too much trying to add the changes in. :P
