Mecha Support - Carrier Sentinel

Which attack it uses is chosen at random.
Weaknesses: Impact, Electric, Freeze
Resistances: None
Immunities: Space
Absorb: None

My favorite experience with the game so far was actually part of my quest to unlock every robot in the game. Specifically, I was trying to unlock Rhythm, who I figured would be easy enough to get because you just have to fail a mission as Cossack three times. To speed up the process, I ported over my level 5 Elec Man and pit him up against the hardest opponent Cossack could face, the level 20-something Bright Man

...Then promptly realized what a terrible plan this was when I got hit by the 300-Watton's Flash Bulb or whatever it's called and watched a grand total of nothing happen.

Elec Man has an Electric AFFINITY

And that was the day I failed at failing
I couldn't stop laughing at my own spectacular oversight as I watched Elec Man turbo-level with a few well-placed Light Buster shots.

I'm going to get punched for this one

Squid Ink - Level 1

Music: Shinryaku no Susume
Mecha Support - Mini Ika
It's a mini-Ika! Similar stat lineup, though its job is to use Ink Spittle to slowly whittle away at the target's health while debuffing stats at random. Weaknesses/Resistances are the same as Squid Girl's.

What exactly was the thought process behind designing the three Copy Core classes and their respective doctors? I'm most curious how the attacks (especially the Busters) were designed, and how the weaknesses and resistances for each were decided.

A page feature or "jump to unread posts" for the forum section would be nice. Some of the longer threads can be a pain to actually read since, while the format does keep everything in context, it also makes it so you have to scroll through the entire thread just to read a few comments at the bottom.

Obligatory self-insert gogogo
Please don't hate me too much for this

How do I unlock Rhythm? Supposedly, you're supposed to be able to unlock her by failing as Dr. Cossack 3 times, but I haven't been able to unlock her despite intentionally running face-first into Bright Man as Ice Man several times. Is there a part of this I'm missing?

As humorous as Bomb Man's insanity is, it doesn't really match his canon personality. So let's try our hand at a quote set suggestion, shall we?

Bomb Man
Start: "Let's have a little fun with my explosives!"
Taunt: "You should've come yesterday! I had some big boom-booms then!"
Victory: "Ka-BOOM! Haha!"
Defeat: "I ran out of fuse...!"

For anyone else who may be wondering, the best place to get Megaman 8-Bit Deathmatch would be to go to the official website.

Heya, xColdxFusionx here! I'm another recent arrival from the CutStuff forums, where I spend most of my time helping with mods that people make. Of course, I originally signed up here when the server was having issues, but now that it's up I'm enjoying this game quite a bit!

Sorry for the rather lackluster introduction, couldn't really think of what else to put here.

"I can't unlock Roll/Disco/Rhythm! How exactly are you supposed to get them?"

Not sure if this is supposed to be a secret, but in my personal quest to unlock everyone, I apparently only managed to obtain Roll and Disco thanks to a programming error, and Rhythm continues to elude me for reasons yet unknown.

I know that they're supposed to come to you if you fail a certain number of times, but is there any other trick to it?
