Tobyjoey | Mega Man RPG World Leaderboard

@Beta Man : Granted! You can have the Merriam-Webster definition of something.

I wish Shovel Knight had won the Smash Ballot. Oh well, congrats to anyone wanting the winners, btw.

I think both would be best, but if you can only do one or the other, I'd just say new suggestions.

@Beta Man : Oh, I apologize. Would you like me to rename this instead?

Pst! Bt Man! I think I should have 23 cards and 0 zenny instead of 19 cards and 100 zenny. If you want to let me have that zenny though, that'd be cool. :P


Name: Dynamo Man
Core: Electric
Health: 110
Power: Recharge
Power Description: During your turn, before you attack, if Dynamo Man is at 30 health or lower, Dynamo Man may enter his recharging station. After one player ends their turn and before the other player starts their's, Dynamo Man may restore 10 health. If an attack should do 40 damage or more against Dynamo Man, the recharging station breaks. If Dynamo Man reaches 70 health, the recharging station breaks. Once the recharging station breaks, it can not be reused by Dynamo Man. While in his recharge station, Dynamo Man cannot use the "Lightning Bolt".
Attack 2: Orb Scatter
Attack 2 Description: Dynamo Man shoots electricity-producing orbs at the opponent. Flip 2 coins. For each heads, deal 10 damage.
Attack 3: Lightning Bolt
Attack 3 Description: Dynamo Man releases Lightning Bolts from the sky on his opponents. Deals 40 damage. If you used Orb Scatter in the previous turn, and missed both orbs, this attack does an additional 30 damage. This attack ignores the opponent's resistance. You cannot use this attack two turns in a row.
Resistance: Wind
Weakness: Shadow


Name: Wave Man
Core: Water
Health: 90
Power: Amphibious
Power Description: Wave Man can move swiftly on land and in water! Wave Man takes 20 less damage from Nature, Earth, and Water core attacks.
Attack 2: Water Wave
Attack 2 Description: Wave Man releases a high-pressure wave of water at the opponent. Deals 40 damage. If the opponent has any extra support cards in play, Water Wave can sweep them away, thus disabling them.
Resistance: Flame
Weakness: Swift


Name: Backup Plan
Core: Neutral
Description: If one of your robots were disabled last turn, the base damage for your attack this turn is boosted by 30.


Name: Self-Destruct
Core: Shadow
Description: Deal damage to the opponent equal to your base HP. Then deal that much damage to yourself.


Name: Blinding Light
Core: Laser
Description: During your opponent's next turn, the core type of their attack is ignored and replaced with the Neutral core typing.


With these last five cards, along with two cores for my new robot masters, I should be at 30! I guess I should start actually playing soon.

I think 3 months would work well. It gives some time to let these results simmer and us to do other things in the community as well. If I could make one request for the next tourney, I would say the 1st place winner Proto Man should not even be in the next tournament. It would be boring if he won again, and I was thinking it would be neat of there was a Hall of Fame where all the tournament winners (assuming there will be more) can be held, but excluded from future tournaments.

Aw, shoot. I really did not get lucky on this contest. My favorites did not get very far... oh well. Different strokes for different folks.

Anywho, although Sunstar is a really cool character, I would argue he is more complementary to his game and it's own story. Heck, I even prefer some of the Stardroids to him. So, to start what I am assuming will be a landslide, gotta go with the brother in red, Mari-er, Proto Man.

So, 2015 is done over here on the east coast. It hasn't been as exciting of a ride as 2014 was, but it's been a good year all around. What MBM said is true; I disgraced both the Mega Man fandom and the English language by trying to write bios for robot masters. You can tell which ones were written by me by the severe quality drop. Thankfully, MBM, Adrian, and the rest of the writing team didn't banish me from that project, so it gave me something to do. In the late spring months, I finally got my act together and got 1024 stars and even made it to the top of the Leaderboard! How ‘bout that! I was always a low leaderboard crawler, but I built up the courage to click Rain Flush 2000 times grind up the BP! I really felt like I accomplished something getting that fourth star, even if I lost 1st within a day or two. Speaking of flattering experiences, I also was the subject for one of Mikey’s questionnaires, although I hope I can redo that someday in the future. Unfortunately, this is where things start to take a turn. Summer was difficult with busy plans and a personal tragedy, and the Prototype wasn’t faring any better during it’s drought period. I followed the sudden webcomic bandwagon for a little while, but I stopped soon after. Don’t worry though, Timothy is still alive, he hasn’t starved to death. This leads into the Prototype community renaissance we have been feeling of late, and I have been really trying to contribute to this resurgence of activity. I have tried to keep some of the personal problems and hidden projects out of this to keep it more about the Prototype, but this was my 2015. Here’s to many more, starting with 2016!

Oh boy Beta, do I have requests for you! (If they are not to much to ask, that is.)
Firstly, I would like to purchase a MM3 pack.
Secondly, time to make more cards!

Name: Gyro Man
Core: Wind
Health: 70
Power: High Flyer
Power Description: If Gyro Man should be attacked by an opponent, flip a coin. If it is heads, the attack does no damage, but extra effects still apply. This ability does not work against Wind, Electric, Space, or Water core attacks from the enemy.
Attack 2: Gyro Attack
Attack 2 Description: Gyro Man throws a Gyro Attack at the enemy. Deals 30 damage. Gyro Cutter ignores any barrier, shield, or damage buffers on the opponent, but weakness and resistance are NOT ignored.
Resistance: Earth
Weakness: Electric


Name: Flash Man
Core: Time
Health: 100
Attack 1: Scatter Shot
Attack/Power Description: Deals a base 10 damage. Flip 3 coins. For each heads, this attack does an additional 10 base damage.
Attack 2: Flash Stopper
Attack 2 Description: Flash Man freezes time around his opponent, allowing him to use another turn. Time Stopper can only be used if Flash Man has not been damaged the during the last turn. Flash Man cannot use Flash Stopper again in the added turn.
Resistance: Shadow
Weakness: Explode


Name: Buster Overheat
Core: Neutral
Description: The user of this card does twice the damage it normally would, but the user also takes a third of the damage dealt as recoil. Round up to the nearest 10th place.


Name: Haunt
Core: Shadow
Description: Deal as much damage as desired against the opponent, but also apply that damage to yourself. Is not affected by Weakness or Resistance.


Name: Power Production
Core: Energy
Description: Any Electric, Flame, Wind, Earth, and Water core cards you have may restore 60 health. However, they can not attack for the rest of the turn.

Third and finally, stay cool.

Hm, this is tough. Galaxy Man by just a teensy bit.
Terra, by a landslide.

Galaxy Man
Gravity Man
I'm really okay with either of these, but I'll say Mercury just to be different.

@Brimscrooge : Granted! Good luck holding the thing, though.



I wish perpetual motion, and thus perpetual energy, was real.

Skull Man is a teensy bit overrated, so I am going with the Knight in shining armor.

Ugh, I hate having to vote between the two I didn't even vote for. Either way, my vote goes to Vile.

@ThatOneFrostMan : Is that a bad thing? ;p
Granted! You get both for Christmas... of 2020. Good things come to those who wait.

I wish the weather keeps staying in the 60s.

@MerryBossClaus : Granted! You literally have that ability at the flip of a dime. When you are small, you can't re-flip the now extremely heavy dime, and you accidentally squash the dime when you get supersized. Have fun using this ability once and not being able to change back!

I wish BitF was back. I miss it now that it is Christmas time. :(

Here you go! Hope you enj... wait, what are you doing? Reading it? No, you got this book to EAT. Bon appetit!

I wish for more wishes!

@MerryBossClaus : Granted! You get a moose named Brutus. Unfortunately, that moose is related to Bullwinkle, so you end up getting the least intimidating moose who ever lived.

I wish I knew the ultimate groan-er awful pun.

Minority vote here, but Pluto Man.

Granted! You will have safe travels on your way to China, Texas. Yes, that's a place.

I wish to not have a brutally cold winter.

Healing Crash, Hurting Rhythm

@Beta Blizzard : I realize that, but considering how active your are in the community, there could be an exception. Plus, you have been in the top 50 before, so I wouldn't see it being a problem.

I'd probably say either Bt/Beta Man or Retro.

@TheDoc : Pst! I'm pretty sure I'm already dead, but don't tell them I said that!

Healing Spin, Hurting Ender

Pharaoh Man

@DaCrashBomber : Granted! It will continue for the next billion years, 'cause it will now be updated every century. You thought this hiatus was long? Try waiting another 99 years.

I wish I could stop time.

@TailsMK4 : Granted! You are no longer allergic to milk! Now you are just allergic to wheat, eggs, soy, nuts, and shellfish.

If I had just one last wish , I would like a tasty fish!

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is perfect and if you say otherwise you are wrong.

Oops, I died. Oh well. Up until this point, I have tried not to play to aggressively. Now, however, I hold no qualms about being a bit crueler.

@ThatGuyNamedMikey : Uh, er, well.... Look! A distraction! (Edits it to Star Man like he had originally intended.


Sorry, must have had Ring.exe on the brain from the earlier entry in Group C.

Before I start working on some cards, I have a question. Can I make cards based off of ACTUAL robot masters, or are those off limits?

@Beta Man : Congratulations! Here is the salespitch for the Super Fighting Robot cartoon. Too bad we got the 'muricanized version instead.

@Bt Man : Granted! Here's your thing.


I wish I could perform a convincing Rocky accent.

@TailsMK4 : Granted! You have been able to forget all of the things you would rather not remember. However, you now only have memories of pure bliss. Every new experience is now a let down.
I wish people would stop playing Christmas music before Thanksgiving.

@Bt Man : Granted! You are now clairvoyant, knowing anything that has ever happened in past, present, or future. Nothing is hidden. Everything is revealed. You know what no other human can never understand. You see how you will die. You see how the planet dies. You see the cruel fate of all of life itself. Worst of all, you see spoilers for the upcoming Star Wars movie! Oh no!
I wish I could play the saxophone.

Healing DaCrash, hurting Rhythm.

@TheDoc : Granted! You can read minds while visiting the psychiatric hospital.

I wish I didn't have to write a paper.

@Meta : Granted!

BREAKING NEWS REPORT! BREAKING NEWS REPORT! Pre-teen spontaneously combusts while using a computer. Scientists still aren't sure why.

I wish I never forgot anything.

@Meta : Granted! Have fun living in Antarctica.

I wish I didn't ever have to sleep.

Oh geez, I just deleted mine. That was weird. Anywho...
Granted! You get an extra large pizza with pineapple slices, anchovies, mushrooms, rat poison, and sausage. Eww, anchovies!
I wish it was Friday.

Also, I think there was a bit of a health difference between the last two posts, but I tried to combine them for my chart.

@T-RexNaffects : Te-RexNaffects back - alright!

We hear at Mega Man RPG Tobyjoey Inc. have an important announcement to make....

IT'S HALLOWEEN!

Whether you're afraid of space aliens or creepy crawlies, we hope you get spooked by someone and spook someone else this Halloween!

Jewel Man Stage
DDF6 - 0000 - 00A8 - 711C

I've heard of this Incendiary Man before. I seem to recall he is a pretty highly decorated officer. I wonder how equally matched we will be?

(BTW, Artillery Man is actually a Hard Man alt, not Dive Man. Common mistake. :p)

With the invasion of Dr. Light's laboratory drawing to a close and Mega Man destroyed, the Mega Man Killers finally return home triumphantly only to have this conversation with Dr. Wily.

You three MEAN to tell me you have destroyed Mega Man?
Yessir! It was simple as pie.
You destroyed his matrix and processing unit, right? So he can't be rebuilt, rendering this whole conquest useless?
Well....
... you see....
... it hadn't exactly crossed our minds.
Get out, Out, OUT OF MY LABORATORY, you simpletons!

Drill Man's Stage
CB77-0000-003F-6079
Not much to say, just that I hope you enjoy!

@ThatOneEnderMan : You are a STAR player! Congratulations!

@MegaBossMan : Wait, you were bossing around straight from birth? Wow, that's saying something.
Happy 25th!

Yay....
Happy twoversary!

Wait, noooo! I was planning some questions for StupidStudios, but I didn't post them in time. Sorry SSN, I was just a little to late. Maybe next time.

Anyways, for Spinstrike....
1. How does it feel having joined so long ago (way back in 2013) and still be active today?
2. What has been your favorite addition to the game?
3. Your profile states you are an Ace Attorney fan. Out of the main trilogy, who is your favorite character?

I would make a pun about striking out, but I think the actual Strike Man would have me sent flying, so instead, here is a classic series robot master based off of the Net Navi BowlMan.exe, Bowling Man!

@ThatOneEnderMan : I would wish you a happy birthday, but I am going to have Jimi Hendrix do it instead.

Happy Birthday Ender!

As a secondary piece from my glamorous (hideous) collection, Sheriff Man, equipped with the Sheriff Shield!



Don't worry about how large these images are, by the way. They are simply up-scaled.

@MusicalKitty : He looks really cool with the 2 shades of gray on parallel sides, and the cape is neat. As one minor suggestion, wouldn't it be cool if half of his face was frowning and the other smiling, rather than both sides smiling? His face already seems to be based on the iconic happy and sad masks, so just food for thought.

@matthewftw123 : Thank you very much. :D

@Brimstone : Well, he looks about as tall as Hard Man with Bright Man standing on him, so I don't think it is too bad. It also looks very nice.

@ThatGuyNamedMikey : Well, I do have some more, but it will take a little time, maybe a day or 3. Also, should these be more classic styled, or maybe a little shaded?

Here is a robot master I once did from (near) scratch, Swamp Man!

Question: Do we actually have to stick to a NES Color palette?

Vs. Mega Man?
Heya Spark Man. The glorious Dr. Wily has decided you can be a recruitment agent in his militia. What do you say?
Mega Man... no, it's impossible! The real Mega Man would never do something so vile.
Geez, it took my personality to clue you in, not the design change?

Vs. Copy Robot
Yo, Spark Spiller! Having to be modeled after your wimpy personality makes it hard to get any respect.
I would never say such things! If you're based on me, surely we can both work together and move beyond this, right?
Trust me, Spark Spiller. I may have your design but I'm still a Wily bot, through and through.

Vs. Dr. Wily
If only I had programmed you differently back then...! It would have been genius! It's the only mistake I've made in my life!
You may have helped bring me into this would, but that doesn't cloud my judgment of what you have done to my friends. It is unacceptable!
Wha.... Why you insolent fool! I will crush you with a loud, loud crunch! Behold, my latest creation, the ultimate combat robot, Wily Machine Number 1! Nuhahahahaha!

With the day saved, Spark Man returned to his life among the Light and Cossack robot masters he had grown acquainted with. Spark Man's journey was over, and was able to endure the rest of his programmed life span.

Vs. Bomb Man
Ah ah! Don't run off! Let's have a little fun with my explosives!
Bomb Man, there a better ways to have fun. Why don't we go do something else?
Ha, sorry, but no can do. Bombs are the only TRUE happiness.

Vs. Fire Man
Burn, burn! My justice burns bright! Fiiiiiire!
Fire Man, this isn't justice! What Dr. Wily is making you do is unjust!
The Flames of Justice will not be tempted by evildoers! Fiiiiiire!!

Vs. Elec Man
It still amuses me anyone could think you would replace my beauty. There simply is no comparison.
How could you say such mean things? We're both electrical discharging robots... we're practically brothers!
Bah. Stop trying to elevate yourself to my level, you pleb!

Vs. Time Man
Oh dear, you seem to be 12 seconds late for our appointment.
Appointment? We can end this quickly if you just start acting normal again!
With that attitude, I'll be able to defeat you quickly on get back on time.

Vs. Oil Man
Ain't you one of 'dem self energizing bots? Why are you bugging me out here?
Oil Man, I came here to help you. Maybe we can work this out and fine common ground?
Seriously? I get ya'think you're fancy shmancy with your electricity, but oil can be crude, effective, and powerful pansies like ya.

The scatterbrained but kind electrical robot enters the ring, Spark Man!

Vs. Spark Man
Why are you hurting everyone here? They're my friends!
Spark Man, why won't you listen to reason? What you're doing is wrong!
I'm doing wrong? You are the one who's destroying our robotic brethren!

Intro Field

In the year 20XX, with the advancement of science, humans were able to create industrial humanoid robots. One robot made by the combined efforts of Dr. Light and Dr. Wily overcame his sinister programming and became an insulation testing robot.

We have a problem!
Wahahahaha! Ladies and gentlemen, your attention, please. The name's Wily! The one and only - the brilliant scientist, Dr. Wily! It may seem rather sudden to you, but I've decided I'd like to take over the world! Nha-haha-hahahahaha... ahem! Anyway, to begin... Dr. Light! I'll be taking your precious robots! Nuhahahaha!! That is to say... Hmm? Spark Man? I'm glad your pathetic peacekeeping attitude is out of my army! Nuahahaha!
Our friends are in trouble! Let's hurry to the lab!

Dr. Light's Laboratory Nuhahahahah! Just as I promised, Dr. Light, I'll be taking them with me!
Stop, Dr. Wily! Stop, I say!
Farewell! Nuhahahaha!
Wait! Stop! Dr. Wily! ... such insanity! Using my robots to conquer the world....
I won't let him mistreat my friends!
Spark Man?! Hmmm... alright... I understand. Consequences will follow, but I will make the necessary preparations.

Your Spark Shock can paralyze enemies, by charging the Spark Shock, you can inflict great damage.
This will hurt you as much as it hurts me!

Vs. Cut Man
You destroyed all the robots here? Dr. Wily was right after all... you aren't good anymore!
Cut Man, you should know better! You were always so nice....
You're an evil robot now! I'm gonna stop you Mr. Spark Man and make you good again!

Vs. Guts Man
I don't care who you are. If you're messin' up my site, I'm gonna hurt you good!
C'mon Guts Man, I don't want either of us getting hurt.
You big idiot! What'll happen to me if I get fired?! I'm gonna take you down with me!

Vs. Ice Man
There's something dangerous up ahead, sir! Oh? Freeze it at all costs, soldier!
How could you help Dr. Wily? You were always so loyal!
W-Well I'm just following my orders. Stop freezing up and freeze him! That's an order, solider.

@Meta : Welcome to Frankenstein spriting, where the Pokemon with cannons/arm guns are plentiful and the Robot Master recolors are numerous.

@Bt Man : Thanks! I had kinda wanted to do Flash Man's interactions with Metal, Heat, Bubble, and Wood Man, but because you were the one to do them, I figured I would leave them to you so I didn't accidentally go out of character.

By the way, in some of your Wood Man posts, he seems to have turned into a Heat Man. Wow, Wood Man is a hypocrite. :P

Vs. Copy Robot
Yo, Egg Head! It's been great controlling time, so thanks for existing to be copied!
A copy of me? I guess I can understand Wily wouldn't want to let go of my exquisite design.
Wow, having to listen to you rattle off almost makes this not worth it. Almost.

Vs. Dr. Wily
If only I had programmed you differently back then...! It would have been genius! It's the only mistake I've made in my life!
It doesn't matter how you would have programmed me as I my incredible talent would have always shone through!
Wha.... Why you insolent fool! I will crush you with a loud, loud crunch! Behold, my latest creation, the ultimate combat robot, Wily Machine Number 1! Nuhahahahaha!

With the day saved, Flash Man was able to return to his changed life helping Dr. Light. There would be another day where her would have to be saved from Wily's control again.

Vs. Bomb Man
Ah ah! Don't run off! Let's have a little fun with my explosives!
These bombs simply cannot go off. Their fuses will stay permanently lit, stuck in time.
Aw. What's the point of a bomb with no kaboom?

Vs. Fire Man
Burn, burn! My justice burns bright! Fiiiiiire!
Do you think self-proclaimed justice excuses your actions, or is this Wily's reprogramming?
By the flames of justice, I am certain you are evil!! Fiiiiiire!!

Vs. Elec Man
Well done... but you say good bye here. I might even tell you more about me after I win.
If I've been called both self-centered and eccentric by others, I can only imagine what they call you, egomaniac.
Mmm... to watch my bolts fly to the top of your head... to hear your delightful shrieks....

Vs. Time Man
To arrive here so early... it seems impossible. Are you a chronokinetic as well?
Why, yes I am, and I can't help but wonder how this fight will go. Will it last an eternity? Will it last a moment? Will it be both?
Hm. When you look at it that way, I would say I have already won this fight, and I am about to show you how I did.

Vs. Oil Man
Hey, whad'ja come out here for? Don'tcha have a place near your house for fill-ups?
I would never use any fuel coming from the likes of you.
Aw, there ain't any reason to be like that! Words can cut deep, ya' know.

Vs. Mega Man?
Hey Flash Man. The incredible genius of Dr. Wily always can use a hand, so why don't you come back?
You seriously thought I would fall for this? I saw your schematics while still helping that old coot. You only are like the original in how quickly I'll beat you.
That's funny, I seem to recall you losing to him-Mega-me... oh forget this stupid charade.

Here comes DWN-014, a robot master who could match Elec Man in gaudiness and pompousness... Flash Man!

Vs. Flash Man
So you have arrived. I enjoy this display you've created, Mega Man.
Flash Man, you're behind this? Please, stop! We can resolve this peacefully.
Sorry, but I plan to hold this moment... forever!

Intro Field

In the year 20XX, with the advancement of science, humans were able to create industrial humanoid robots. One combat robot created by Dr. Wily, Flash Man, rebelled from his creator to serve man.

We have a problem!
Wahahahaha! Ladies and gentlemen, your attention, please. The name's Wily! The one and only - the brilliant scientist, Dr. Wily! It may seem rather sudden to you, but I've decided I'd like to take over the world! Nha-haha-hahahahaha... ahem! Anyway, to begin... Dr. Light! I'll be taking your precious robots! Nuhahahaha!! That is to say... Hmm? Flash Man? I'm sorry, but your chrome dome outshines your usefulness! Nuahahaha!
Our friends are in trouble! Let's hurry to the lab!

Dr. Light's Laboratory Nuhahahahah! Just as I promised, Dr. Light, I'll be taking them with me!
Stop, Dr. Wily! Stop, I say!
Farewell! Nuhahahaha!
Wait! Stop! Dr. Wily! ... such insanity! Using my robots to conquer the world....
Dr. Light, allow me to take the leading role!
Flash Man?! Hmmm... alright... I understand. Consequences will follow, but I will make the necessary preparations.

Your Arm Cannon can now rapid fire buster shots to defeat enemies. By charging your weapon, you can temporarily freeze time.
This will be over in a flash!

Vs. Cut Man
You destroyed all the robots here? Dr. Wily was right after all... you aren't good anymore!
I'm sorry Cut Man, but I have a mission to stop Wily. Stand down!
You're an evil robot now! I'm gonna stop you Mr. Flash Man and make you good again!

Vs. Guts Man
I don't care who you are. If you're messin' up my site, I'm gonna hurt you good!
Guts Man, surrender and I'll help finish your project early.
Heh, I could use someone like you on in my crew. I'll tell ya' what. If you're still functioning after I clobber you, you can join.

Vs. Ice Man
There's something dangerous up ahead, sir! Oh? Freeze it at all costs, soldier!
You possess the ability to freeze someone in place with your Ice Slasher. I can do it without even landing a hit.
I... I can't move! Keep calm, solider! Don't fall for his tricks.

@MusicalKitty : That gets an "Aye" Plus! ... I'll hit myself for that one.

Keep you're eyes in the clouds so you can see...

@Retro Pikachu : 3 things.
1. Adding themes is a GREAT idea. :D
2. In the future, could you add extra info/robots in different posts? It makes it easier to track.
3. Mirror Man's BST is currently 394. Is this okay?

And with this, all robots so far have been updated!

@Meta : Heh, I really enjoy Cherry Blossom Wood Man. It makes me want to make an Evergreen Wood Man covered in snow. Nice job!

Okay. I'm sorry Bt. I've tried to get along with your various RP rules in private messages, and I've kept my mouth shut. This… this… this feels like the thread I just made with one or two bells and whistles added. Was this necessary? If this was really necessary, I'll keep my mouth shut.

@Meta : I know they were for Ender, I just thought they looked nice.

@ThatOneEnderMan : Ender Man has been entered!


@MegaBoyX7 : Core Man MBS-005 has a base stat total of 366. Are you sure about this?


@Retro Pikachu : RCD HAS ACCEPTED FOREIGN DATA. CORE TYPE HAS BEEN FOUND TO STATE "All". ADJUSTING TO COPY TO ACHIEVE SAME RESULTS. IF THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, STATE SO. CATALOGING NOW.

@DaB-DayTeenager : Happy belated birthday!

In all seriousness, that is good.

So, are we going to do this soon, or are we still waiting for 2 more?

@MegaBossMan : Ooh! Ooh! Is it Doc? I bet it's Doc.

H-Ho-Holdable cores have been added to the dev?!? ... excuse me for my absence while I mess with these for the next millennium or so.

Aw, my native habitat, America: land of the free and home of the brave. For 239 years, we have celebrated our independence. Is there any better way to admire our homeland than to surround ourselves with the intoxicating views settlers saw those many years ago?

OF COURSE! EXPLOSIONS! BOOM! YEAH! WOO-HOO, FIREWORKS BABY!

Well, no matter how you celebrate it, HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY! And if you don't celebrate it or aren't American... uhm... HAPPY SATURDAY!

Wait, Mikey is our "gift"? This is like the zonk prize, right? Well, I guess I can make a few questions. :P (I kid, I of course kid.)

1. In the Classic games, what types of weapons do you prefer? Close range boomerangs like Rolling Cutter? Screen wipers like Astro Crush? Homing weapons like Dive Missile? Aim-able weapons like Ballade Cracker? Something else?
2. We all have asked you why you like Bright Man, but you have mentioned you are also fond of Astro Man. Why?
3. What is your favorite non-Mega Man game series?
4. You seem like a well read kinda guy, so is that true? If so, what is your favorite book?
5. Did starforce kill your parents or something?

@ThatOneEnderMan : Woohoo! That's 11 zeros!

Co-could I not make the cut?
Can it, you overgrown pair of hedge clippers.

A Helping Hand
(There are obviously several missing, but there are no sprites to represent them.)
What, are you expecting some kind of silly banter? Ya' know, this is a real disability shared by Light, Wily, and Cossack bots alike! Show some respect and give a ha- you get the idea.

I am here to announce... Fire Man: Ashes of Righteousness

Story: Dr. Light Number 007, also called Fire Man, has clai- wait, what are you doing? DON'T TOUCH THA-
Sorry 'bout that folks, but the Flames of Justice are the only ones worth recounting my adventure! The dastardly villainy of Dr. Wily's top troops sends a chill down my spine like no other, so I have declared RED-HOT WAR on these do-no-gooders. What they have in nasty tricks, however, cannot counter my new heated copy buster! Evil Beware, the Flames of Justice are determined to burn you to ashes! FIRE!

Robot Masters:
Tomahawk Man Weak to Heat Satellite.
Crash Man Weak to Silver Smoke.
Wind Man Weak to Engulfing Bomber.
Strike Man Weak to Power Flames.
Bubble Man Weak to Ember Cannon.
Needle Man Weak to Impact Cinder.
Star Man Weak to Combustion Lead.
Stone Man Weak to Red Cyclone.

Weapons:
Fire Man starts the game with the Fire Storm, but it functions a little bit differently. Rather than having a flame act as a shield for Fire Man, the 2nd flame circles the 1st Flame being shot, in essence giving you two shots, but only 1 is guaranteed.
Upon defeating a robot master, Fire Man gains a re-themed but similarly functioning weapon.
Tomahawk Man : Silver Smoke : Less Damage, but more Ammo. 2 on screen at once.
Crash Man : Engulfing Bomber : On non major enemies, always 1HKO.
Wind Man : Red Cyclone : Does not carry enemies, just deals damage.
Strike Man : Impact Cinder : Starts slow, but speeds up.
Bubble Man : Combustion Lead : Can now crawl walls.
Needle Man : Ember Cannon : Does not go though walls.
Star Man : Heat Satellite : More Ammo.
Stone Man : Power Flames : The Power Flames rotate in a tighter arc, taking longer to fly off screen.

Wily Castle:
Wily 1: Brain Crusher No Weakness (Due to Attack Pattern)
Wily 2: Giant Suzy Weak to Engulfing Bomber.
Wily 3: Metall Daddy Weak to Combustion Lead.
Wily 4: Heat Man + Turbo Man Weak to Red Cyclone.
Wily 5: Wily Machine 5 Weak to Impact Cinder.

With evil fended off, justice can rest, but not slumber. Wily may never end his ways, but I am happy to be a red-hot tool of righteousness! FIRE!

@Bt Man : This may sound a little weird, but hear me out. In MM8, Tengu Man was weak to Ice Wave, a slow(ish) gravity based weapon (it travels floors). In MM&B, Tengu Man was weak to Spread Drill, a slow(ish) gravity based weapon (it eventually falls). The only weapon that fits this description is... Water Balloon, oddly enough. It would seem weird having 3 robots weak to Water Balloon, but the weapon is kinda bad anyway, so maybe that could be a way to balance. As for what to do with Quick Boomerang, his previous weakness... maybe give it to Needle Man and/or Aqua Man as secondary weaknesses?

Also, I see someone is a fan of Roahm's Revenge series/joke/league of villains. Nice picks.

@megaprotobassman : Hmm... is there anyway you could post a screenshot?

@megaprotobassman : In the current prototype, costumes are not available. However, in the beta version, they are. You must use every robot master 100 times to unlock a new costume. Roll, Disco, and Rhythm are exceptions, as they get a new costume every 50 uses. To actually equip the costume, you must enter the robot editor. Below the robot master's head shot in the top left is an image of the robot master and how many times he has been used. Just click the robot master to cycle through the costumes.

1. What was your introduction to the Mega Man franchise?
2. I recall you saying you always imagined Quick Man as a rival of sorts due to the difficulty of his stage and fight. Have you made any similar "rivalries" with other robot masters?
3. Are you happy with how much time you have spent in the Prototype?
4. Have you ever actually been a BOSS of a real life job/project/plan?

@DaCrashBomber : Uh, hate burst your bubble Crash, but that button does exist, along with a shuffle button. They are right below the 8th mission, going from up left to bottom right.

Ya' know what? This forum has had a lot of great game ideas following the original Mega Man formula, and there really isn't anything wrong with that, but how about we introduce something new? Using the original Mega Man Zero and some small inspiration from the Metroidvania genre, we have...

[Mega Man: Fight for Peace]{defense_copy}

Rather than having a traditional level select, Mega Man: Fight for Peace lets you explore the various areas of Mega City where certain robot masters have taken over. In each area, you can find 3 robot masters to fight. To take on Wily, however, you only need to destroy 12 robot masters. If you want to fight the others and gain their weapons, however, you can still search for them. Speaking of weapons, Mega Man can only hold 1 weapon gained from each area. However, the data of the other weapons can be stored at Dr. Lights lab, allowing you to swap the abilities once you have beaten the boss. This is enough for mechanics, though. Let's meet our contestants!


Area 1: Industrial Factory
Metal Man Weak to Cutter Weapons.
Magnet Man Weak to Electric Weapons.
Plug Man Weak to Boomerang Weapons.

Area 2: Weather Institute
Ice Man Weak to Electric Weapons.
(Sprite unavailable) Cloud Man Weak to Explode and Wind Weapons.
(Sprite Unavailable) Tornado Man Weak to Ice Weapons and Homing.

Area 3: Fuel Catacombs
Oil Man Weak to Flame Weapons.
Drill Man Weak to Water Weapons.
Flame Man Weak to Wind Weapons.

Area 4: Crazy Castles
Knight Man Weak to Boomerang Weapons.
(Sprite unavailable) Shade Man Weak to Shield and Screen Weapons.
(Sprite unavailable) Blade Man Weak to Earth Weapons.

Area 5: Hydraulic System
Bubble Man Weak to Cutter Weapons.
Wave Man Weak to Shadow Weapons.
(Sprite unavailable) Centaur Man Weak to Impact and Shield Weapons.

Area 6: Orbiting Observatory
Ring Man Weak to Flame Weapons.
Star Man Weak to Water Weapons.
Galaxy Man Weak to Homing and Ice Weapons

Area 7: Power Plant
Spark Man Weak to Shadow Weapons.
Wind Man Weak to Screen Weapons.
(Sprite unavailable) Solar Man Weak to Water Weapons.

Area 8: Volcanic Vortex
Shadow Man Weak to Homing and Screen Weapons.
Stone Man Weak to Explode Weapons.
(Sprite unavailable) Magma Man Weak to Wind and Shield Weapons.


With the selected robots now defeated, it is time to invade Wily's fortress.
Wily 1: Buster Rod G: Weak to Water Weapons, Mega Water S: Weak to Wind Weapons, and Hyper Storm H: Weak to Impact Weapons.
Wily 2: Proto Man?: Weak to Explode and Flame Boomerang Weapons.
Wily 3: Enemy Gauntlet: Weaknesses Vary
Wily 4: Wily Machine 4 Version 2.0: Weak to Ice and Shadow Weapons.
Wily 5: Wily Armor: Weak to Electric Weapons.

No one has seemed to notice, so I am celebrating ShadowShurikenGSXR getting all 1024 stars! WOOH, good job, dude

To Shadow... the Nico.

1. You've been here since January 1st, 2013. Are you happy with the overall changes in the game/community?
2. Do you make any plans to climb back up the leaderboard soon, or are you comfortable where you are?
3. Cats or Dogs?
4. What would you say is your most enjoyed not-Mega Man series?
5. Have you ever heard Wishbone Ash's "Throw Down the Sword", and if so, what do you think of it?

@Meta : Well, I tried to hold you off, Meta, but your perseverance has worn me down. I even made it to 800 billion (1st to get there yay) to discourage your grinding, but this has not worked. I concede defeat. It's up to BAWZ to deal with you now.

A gift for you.

I would like to join, but would this thread maybe be better in the general thread? Both the RP and General are chocked full of threads, but maybe general is more fitting? Anyway, I give you fair warning: I suck and am a complete embarrassment good at competitive battling.

Almost forgot, my User is Tobyjoey.

@MegaBossMan : I'm sorry, I see no slow-down or sprite flicker option, so I can't vote. Oh well.

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!]{defense_swift}

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]{attack_speed}!

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]{laser_defense}-Weak to Magnet Missile.
Cossack Citadel 3: [Cockroach Twins]{impact_speed}-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]{attack_copy}-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.
