Welcome to the first major update of 2021, my name is Tobyjoey, and I will be your guide for this flight. I hope you Northern Hemisphere residents haven't been too cold, and if you live somewhere warm, feel free to send some of that warmth our way. I hope everyone's 2021 is starting off on the right foot, but in case it hasn't here are some updates to brighten your spirits!
New Skills
Two Robot Masters have been given all new skills in this update! Let's see what they can do!
Nostalgic for the days Ring Man was a Cutter Robot Master? Well, now you can have the best of both worlds! Thanks to Ring Man's Honed Chakram, Ring man can fire off Metal Blades and Gyro Attacks alongside Star Crashes and Astro Crushes!
He might not be playable yet, but Spring Man isn't afraid to fight with everything he's got! Spring Man's Elastic Reach let's Spring Man target any robot on the field with nearly any move! Throw your opponent onto the bench with a Super Throw, then obliterate them from afar with a Dust Crusher!
Combat changes aren't the only updates made to the Prototype. Some graphical and organization details have also been updated! Let's take a look.
Give yourself any cool color combination you can fathom! Or be boring like me and just combine to similar colors like Shield and Energy.
Game Menus Retooling
The tabs of the in game menu have been changed up, the most noticable change being the new icons and the new arsenal tab! There is some beautiful spritework in there!
Database Update
Sick of getting teased with the tantalizing Crystal Joe you can't actually seem to find anywhere in the Prototype? The in game datatbase has been updated to now only show you things you, the player, have encountered in your playthrough! Don't worry, you can still find all the old unaccessable information on the webpage database.
Ability Description Updates
No abilities were revised with this update, but some ability descriptions sure were! Buster Shot received a new description to explain it's (somewhat) new multi hit mechanic. Crash Bomb's ignorance of offense and defense has been made more apparent. Needle Cannon no longer claims to pierce the target's defense, a mechanic that has never been attached to the move. Plant Barrier's recall mechanic has been explained.
As we reach the conclusion of this update write up, I will repeat something I had announced in a comment of the old update thread. I'm sure you've already seen it, but Astro Man and Crash Man have new skills which act as built in X-Treme Modules. This is probably redundant, but in case you've been busy and haven't been able to play or check the comments, there ya go. I won't leave as sentimental of a message as the last post, as fortunately for you all, I am no longer in the holiday spirit. Don't worry, come St. Patricks Day, I'll be pinching anyone who isn't using a Green profile color! Maybe you can use the new dual color profiles to mix some Irish Charm with whatever color you normally use?
Smell ya later,
Tobyjoey

Star Man now has a green alt, wether you like it or hate it, it depends if I tell you it's a reference to the Game Gear Game. Uh... Perhaps I said too much, except for one...
