Hello everyone, I've come with some exciting news today. We are going to be letting the community create a challenge to appear in the Prototype! It will feature an already playable Robot Master (and any others we want to add that fit thematically or strategically) and already existing moves, and will be based on a Robot Master that does not already have a challenge. However, 50 or so Robot Masters fit this description, and that is way too many to vote on and get any meaningful results, so we are instead going to pick which game to pick the Robot Master from, and then we wil have a vote on the Robot Masters from that game. Comment below on whether or not you want a Robot Master from Mega Man 1, 2, 3, or 4 to be the star of the challenge. We are in no rush, so I will tally the vote once we have a good number of results in. If you have already voted on the discord, please don't vote here as well, or vice versa. You are also welcome to discuss what you would want the challenge to become or who you are advocating for, of course.
Community Challenge Creation Announcement Posted by Tobyjoey on June 1st, 2022 at 11:16am Viewed 209 Times
I'm thinking a challenge for Ice Man from MM1. My idea is that it'd take place in either Arctic Jungle or Arctic Chamber.Ice Man would be holding a Freeze Core to further boost his Freeze-Type attacks, and his teammates would mostly be Freeze-Types holding Field Boosters.
Ice Man's moveset would consist of Buster Shot,Ice Breath,Ice Slasher,Frost Wave,Field Support,Buster Charge, and Freeze Overdrive.
Maybe a challenge for Magnet Man from Mega Man 3 The field that it could take place in could be Magnetic Armory The Robot Masters that would show up would have an electric theme like Cloud Man and Fuse Man Magnet Man's moveset will have Magnet Missle, Thunder strike, Storm bolt, Energy Swap and Electric Overdrive
Also, I am going to let people keep voting on the game until tomorrow, Friday June 3rd at 11AM EST; a full 48 hours from when the vote went up. We will probably have a 2 day vote for the RM, and then we will have a lot of discussion on strategy/theming. On the discord, there has been 1 vote for 2, 2 votes for 3, and 6 votes for 4, bringing us to 1 vote for 1, 1 vote for 2, 4 votes for 3, and 8 votes for 4 so far across both websites.

... so no one has actually voted since I put my last vote out, so that makes things easier for me! MM1 received 1 vote, MM2 received 1 vote, MM3 received 4 votes, and MM4 won with 8 votes. Thank you to everyone who voted! We will now vote on which Robot Master from MM4 to feature. You are more than welcome to vote in this one, even if you did not vote in the last one. This vote will also go for 2 days, so voting will end on 6/5 at 11:00am EST.
Well, in a very tight vote, Dust Man won with 6 votes, Skull Man right behind him with 5. It was pretty close! Now its time to discuss strategy. To give you a little bit of insight into what the Discord has been suggesting, they think it would be neat to have Dust Man and a bunch of the other robots from Mega Man 9, as if he was the one who found them after their expiration date.
Hey, maybe next time! For now, we've got Dust Man, and I would like to share with you some thoughts the discord had on how to theme his challenge. Idea 1: Have Dust be the leader to a pack of the Robot Masters from 9, who were nearly scrapped. Idea 2: Have Dust pair with Crystal, as they were made by the same artist. Idea 3: Have Dust be joined by other junkyard/cleaning robots. None of these are set in stone, and if you feel you have a good idea for the Dust Man challenge, feel free to share!
I've been too wishy washy in my handling of the community challenge, and things went more smoothly when we had a voting system... so lets have a vote! We are deciding what the themeing of Dust Man's challenge should be, either the plotline of the 9 bots nearly being junked, are a theme of cleaning robots. If you'd like to have a visual aid, come check out the Discord. Attached to a post there will be some screenshots to show both. Keep in mind the fields/robots/stats/items are not final, just ideas for what we're working with. You are welcome to vote here or there which you would prefer!
@Tobyjoey : So far, the challenges have four or five robots. Now we have to face 7 robots. Also, why Rhythm there, she doesn't have to do with cleaning.
