This seems to be a bug with the starforce thing.

Just testing things with the empty type and stars.

There! I think I've made my point.

Also, I had to revamp some of the weapons for Pounder Met.

@MegaBoy : Why would they first put the originals on the 3ds, but then put the sequels/remakes on the switch? How would trading between both games work now? They're part of the same generation!

@Musical : Z-moves are also a gimmick, and besides, Mega Evos have MORE than just looks going for them. They get a stat boost, an ability change, and maybe even an extra type.

I know both of those sound like I'm arguing, but I don't want to have to.

I'VE GOT IT! THE ULTIMATE COUNTER TO SNIPER JOES.

Just BARELY going under the text limit. Hopefully the joe army should be scared of the Extended Met Family Pack, though!

So we're sharing sprites again, eh?

Well, here's this crappy Fire Boy Mecha Sheet I made for MMRPG.

(sorry about the white background btw)

(gotta revive this somehow)

I may as well go with something new. Wasn't sure at first, though.

Name: Crystal Man
Class: Fotuneteller
Good Point: Mystical
Bad Point: Shady
Like: Fortune-telling
Dislike: Science

He is able to produce artificial crystals. Initially, Wily created him in order to earn money. Crystal man went to Spokane because his fortune-telling-based crap told him something was up over there, or something like that. Usually it's just some excuse or whatever to scam people for zenny.

*EVENT 666 START!*

I gotta find out which one to target first, Dark Taranza or Proto MK 2. That Guy With The Maroon Text seems like Final Boss material, so I'll save him for last. One is top priority, the other could offer a good amount of weapons upon defeat. I'll have to counter those Sniper Joes somehow, though...

Page 666 Is coming up, huh... I don't like where this is going.

Say, how complete is Proto MK II's army..?

One last adjustment:

Something is very wrong. Why'd I have to investigate the mirror SOULs? I need to be quick. I need to break out...

More to come...

Good morning folks, it's that nameless reporter with the dang news, and I've gotten my own name, finally! But I prefer to be called Nameless Beak! Here's an update on the whole miniboss situation, they don't seem to be settling down anytime soon. Though, witnesses report some ninja-looking dude beating up a bunch of them. Some have tried, and I can't believe I'm saying this...
*deep ventilation*
Some of them, have been trying to CATCH THE MINIBOSSES IN NETS. This even included some robots, including one impact core who looks like he was made of certanium, geting absolutely smashedinto the ground by a local Telepathos.
As if things couldn't get any worse though, that Daddy Longlegs Wasp was seen dropping purple orbs into the Vocal Volcano and this is somehow turning the lava purple. This Purple lava seems to infect the local fauna, and even the stone. Then it starts spreading among even more things. We now go to a live reporter in the field. You're on, Pyre Fly #403.

Alright, FINALLY! I was WAITING, ya know! I don't just get paid to stand around and do ja- Oh wait I'm rolling aren't I. S- sorry 'bout that, folks. I can be quite a rowdy gal, yknow?
A-anyway, I'm here on the scene, and it looks like this virus is spreading further. Let's try to get an interview from one of those locals.
*5 minutes later*
Okay, so apparently that guy tried to attack me, looked kinda purple, and even those shots were the same color for some reason.
...Wait a sec, you don't think...?
I bet he's been infected by that stuff. Also, who knows what'll-

*Pyre Fly is somehow trapped in a magical, web-like electric net, and the footage is all staticy*
*the camera guy is apparently trying to run away from something*

*it shows Dark Taranza's face for a few seconds, before finally flickering back to static*

.........
Welp, we're one reporter down.

(MEANWHILE)

Ow, what the hell...
Wait, where in the.
Dark Taranza: Ugh, FINALLY, you were snoring up a *REGGAE'D* tornado combined with a blizzard. A combo I like to call, A Blizzardnado.
[ Alright, what's your game. Are you just gonna kill me because I was being a "nosy *REG-*"
Dark Taranza: That WAS going to be the plan, you nosy *REGGAE'D*...*
Well, SOMEONE doesn't have the-
Dark Taranza: -because that'd be too *REGGAE'D* generous. PHIONE!

*A figure approaches, looking like a phione, but at the same time, but it looks like she's from another dimension*

Phione?: ...
Dark Taranza: take care of this one, will you not?
Phione?: *smiles nefariously*


Name: Mirror Phione (SPECIAL)
Core: Electric
Health: 140
Power: Schadenfreude
Power Description: Whenever Mirror Phione brings an enemy down to half of their health, she regains 40 health from satisfaction.
Attack 2: Donnerschock
Attack 2 Description: Mirror Phione sends a shock into the target's body, dealing 40 damage!
Attack 3: Blitzkanone
Attack 3 Description: Mirror Phione fires an electric blast like a cannon. Flip a coin. If it's tails, this attack does 90 damage and Paralyzes the target.
Resistance: Electric, Explode
Weakness: Earth
Flavor Text: In the mirror world, Phione speaks with a German accent (of all things), and enjoys watching others in pain, mainly because she was in a lot of pain herself once, and decided it felt good, even expressing positive emotions by hurting things. What's even worse about this is that she "flirts" with pretty much ANYONE of the opposite gender by attempting to KIDNAP them. Unless she hates them or is under their slavery. Do you even KNOW how much people Mirror Phione enslaves just to have her idea of fun?

Okay. I'm going to take a few creative liberties though. For example:

-In Proto Man's story, Instead of sky ridge, you'll go through Reflection Chamber.
-There's gonna be an "abridged mode", made to make the game's dialogue lighthearted and funny, like a comedy. This is gonna be hidden, however.
in SSN'S story, the other SS characters will be playable (N2, C2, A, C4) as well, for completions sake and for extra re-playability.
-Superbosses will be a thing, but you need a password to get to them.
-The final dungeon will have up to 3 of all characters usable alongside SSW, SSN, and MBM. Replayability, once again.
-There will be a way to re-unlock the original player characters (Mega Man, Proto Man, Bass). You kinda tend to project on them when you play, and besides, it kinda sucks to have playable characters that are lost forever.
-There's going to be more types of starforce.
-Bass' intro stage, instead of the Lighting Control, will be something from MM5. Don't worry, the textures will still be a thing in one of the stories.

That's not all of them, but I thought I'd share some before I forget.

I'm just gonna put this in the RSB pack. This ain't going in the april fools one.

Name: Abomination Man (SPECIAL)
Core: Neutral
Health: 250

Attack 3: Aeon Wave
Attack 3 Description: Abomination Man lets loose an explosion of energy that has the equivalent of something that's been built up over an aeon! This does 150 DAMAGE, but can only be used once per battle.
Resistance: Neutral, Cutter, Empty
Weakness: Impact, Explode, Swift
Flavor Text: This guy is an utter abomination and a messup. SO WHY IS HE SO POWERFUL!? The guy has that whole... "Incomplete" feel, as well...

Hoo boy, here we go.

Now, I am NOT very good at spriting from scratch. However, I tried.

Allow me to introduce...

ABOMINATION MAN!



Since the guy was literally a mess-up, I'm not expecting this to get a good score at all.

(mm10 portrait frame from sprites inc.)

Say, what exactly WERE the skillsets of the playables gonna be? Or their class names, for that matter?

@CAMCARIO : Sansworthy puns aside, I like the way starforce was rebalanced, but too bad core throwing's gone. Speaking of which, whenever I picture Core Throwing, I imagine the core exploding into a massive amount of energy matching that element when it breaks.
