U-uh I'm a little late in posting this but

Too bad that MBM has too much empathy not to wish Happy Birthday

Congrats Walt on continuing to exist, Happy Birthday!

@ThatGuyNamedMikey :
1: Yeah, definitely; it tends to draw a lot of activity towards the Community, and that's pretty much almost usually a good thing. Nice to see actual posts outside the Roleplay section as well.
2. 5 months or more, probably; we've had three so far and constantly pushing them out will lead to a burnout. You have to keep in mind that people have to post consecutively for weeks and weeks, and if you're sending out the PMMCTs as if they're not a special occasion and more an obligation, people....will just lose interest.
3. Needed more Cut Man winning like he would in real life. But I suppose besides that, there was a lot of fun looking after results and wondering just how everyone cAN NOT BELIEVE CUT MAN'S NOT THE BEST MEGA MAN CHARAC
4. I'd agree with Doc. While I do believe that it's unfortunate you don't really get much of a say in the actual tournament often Mike, tiebreakers should more so be focused on breaking ties, not complicating other results with it. Your vote should clear up confusion, not bring other results with it.
5. 96, the more the m....dammit Doc, you're stealing all my answers today...Regardless, it allows for more submissions for anyone who'd feel disappointed their character didn't get in and just more opportunities to get input in.
6. So far, each and every character has had the requirement of being in a Mega Man game beforehand, but frankly....It's been made clear this is primarily a Mega Man Classic tournament, and because of the lack of detail from the original NES games, votes are more directed towards design and not necessarily a character's writing. However, a lot of the outside media has created and defined plenty of characters, as well as some of the strongest recent contributions to the Classic franchise such as Tempo / Quake Woman and Xander Payne. Things like Gigamix, the Archie comics, and multiple other sources add a lot of history and detail to the basic outline the original Capcom games provided, and while I doubt they'd rapidly shake up the tournament, I don't see why they should be barred from entering. This also allows characters like Bond Man to join the fray, who've proven to have their own cult following. I'd also like to see fan-creation characters such as BCA's Rhythm and Rock Force's Justice Man to see how they'd stack up, but.....Chances are, you'd just get a lot of submissions going "My Schmurple Crash Man character who's super-duper original", and that'd crap things up pretty quickly so perhaps another time 100 years in the future, when our tastes have grown more dignified or something

So since I was somewhat bored, I decided to compile a listing of sprites I've done that aren't secrety-secrets and I don't outright hate; figured something like this was somewhat long overdue and the Community's been pretty dead lately so why not try to post something of interest for once in a while?

As with anything else on the internet that you didn't make, please don't steal it without permission from me or else you'll have to suffer the burning wrath of a thousand suns! :)

Cut Man. No explanation required

Sunstar.

Sunstar.

Sunstar.

Higsby-- If you put a Mega Buster to my head, I still wouldn't vote for Zero.

Sunstar-- He's pretty freaking cool.

Dr. Wily: As far as a robot from Mega Man 8 goes, I actually really like Duo. And if you ask me, I think more robots certainly need cool-looking auras like Duo does. However, Wily's....He's kinda one of the shining stars of the Classic series. His mark on the series is literally the series, and frankly, Duo's too underutilized to be considered for outclassing Wily.

Ring Man: I always thought something was lacking about Metal Man's design. I can't care less for Metal Man being overrated because that doesn't really affect the character for me; he's just lacking something in design.

Terra easily gets my vote here. Despite appearing in three games, Vile really never....does anything beyond serve as little more than just a basic henchman for me. After X1, he serves to be nothing more than just a glorified occasional boss whose only defining trait is his feverish hate of X. And while his rivalry with X is what I believe to be one of the defining traits of the X series, and really well-defined in Maverick Hunter X....About 66.666% of the time he's just there. Another obstacle that harkens back to a time where he was used more effectively, and even then that effectiveness is really just to show off how radical Zero is. His design's also just a purple Boba Fett, but to be fair it's still a really cool design

Terra, on the other hand? Despite his 1-game appearance, he really nails it out of the park. His design is pretty damn cool, his weapon is pretty damn cool, and he's got an actual backstory to him that helps connect the points of the extraterrestrial robots, yet there's still a lot of things that the imagination can fill in. Vile don't have that level of intrigue.

Don't get me wrong though, I'd like to reiterate Vile's one of the better Mega Man X characters. But Terra edges him out just a little bit more.

Terra
Kalinka Cossack
Auto
Vile

Could it literally be anyone else besides Ballade

Ballade: The guy sticks out more because Mega Man Killer. Nothing else to it.

Rush: Sadly more useful than Roll could ever dream of being.

Air Man
Ballade
Rush
Tron Bonne

Dark Man 4
Sigma

Clown Man
Dark Man 4
Clock Man 1
Sigma

Enker
Mega Man X
Neon Tiger
Punk

This is a really close one, really....But I'm going to have to root for Buster Rod G on this one. He's got some fun inspiration behind him.

Proto Man. He has main character advantage.

Freeze Man's a fun wacky character just because of his infatuation with Victory poses and for everyone who's read Gigamix, his hilarious relationship with Ice Man. In contrast with Omega who while a fun parallel to Zero just comes from a series that takes itself too seriously. He may be the messiah, but my vote he is not

Sheep Man. Philip K. Dick, yo.
