@Shadownnico : Yea, Mega B is the closest thing to Adrian's right hand man as far as I can tell.

@Mikey76500 : HAPPY B-DAY YOU SON OF A GUN! (lol you thought I was going to say bad stuff)

@Mikey76500 : Well, I was specifically talking about ramming bosses. Volt Catfish doesn't ram; he kinda like.....flops. Speaking of MMX3, I remember when I was young, I tried to do Blast Hornet first and did fairly well until he started shooting out his homing hornets. It was then that I gave up on him.

(lol I'm purposefully getting us off-topic) The majority of Blizzard Buffalo's attacks are avoided via sitting or dashing off the wall. The only attack you actually have to worry about is his Frost Spikes, where you have to stay on the ground for two or so spike shots so that he doesn't end up taking away your wall, but even then you can just shoot them down. The freeze breath is cake to dodge unless you decided to run right up to his face for WHATEVER reason. If you want to talk about difficult ramming bosses, at least say Tunnel Rhino before pointing fingers at Buffalo.

@Mikey76500 : You don't get what I'm saying. You know how you can interchange stages to make Fusion Stars after you beat a player's campaign? Well, for a time, I thought that you had to beat two campaigns to interchange stages between them; I didn't know that you could rearrange the order of stages within one campaign and be fine. Granted, unlocking more stages means more combinations, but I didn't know about being able to do that with just one set of fields in the first place.

@Mikey76500 : "Every beginner doesn't have my patience for massive failure."

Well, patience is kinda necessary for a lot of games out there, one of them being Mega Man in general...If people aren't patient, that's not Adrian's fault. In fact, if Adrian made the game so that even the most impatient people could beat it without breaking a sweat, it wouldn't have any challenge, which is the whole point of playing a game.

Not gonna lie, though: there are a few things that I don't feel are explained very well in-game, mainly Starforce. My suggestion is start seriously adding stuff (and, most importantly, drawing attention) into the Mechanics section. As long as it's covered there, in-game shouldn't be a problem. I remember as a beginner that there were many game mechanics that didn't even have their own topic. Heck, Starforce and Player Fields STILL don't have their own topics (although Player Fields could just be part of Player Battles). Yeah, I understand that Starforce is covered after you beat one of the campaigns, but how is a beginner supposed to know that beforehand? If he stumbles across various mechanics that he hasn't unlocked while looking on the forums, he's gonna be confused outta his mind. However, if you make a topic for it, then note that it's only unlocked after completing a player's line of missions, then they'll know right away. Also, could you explain swapping fields to get Fusion Stars and this hypothetical Starforce thread? When I first beat Light's campaign, I didn't know you could interchange fields within the one chapter to get Fusion Stars.

I think Blizzard Buffalo is easier than Neon mainly because of that stupid Ray Splasher (I can't tell if the bullet will/won't hit me if I jump or not), but also because he sometimes dives at you from the wall Slash Man style, which can just throw you off completely if you're not expecting it.

Back on topic, I introduced this game to my 12 yr old sister because she said she wanted to try it (she probably doesn't play it anymore) and, even though she desperately wanted to quit at times, she kept fighting (she chose to do Ice Man first) and finally, after her fifth try she beat him and was so happy. After that, she beat Bomb Man (I think she quit after that. These kind of games aren't really her thing.)

Getting a foothold is the hardest thing to do as a beginner, but that just takes perseverance. Have you ever played Pokemon? This game is essentially Mega Man Pokemon, except the only really hard part is the beginning (until Adrian makes fortress bosses MWAHAHAHAHA). Some games require luck. Period. Luckily, most of those games (this one included) allow you to keep trying. That's all it takes. You develop different strategies, different teams, more powerful robots, etc. how? By playing again and again. I can see that you're doing just fine now; you've completed 54 different missions, unlocked 3 playable characters, 26 robot fighters, 68 special abilities, and 39 field stars in a matter of FOUR DAYS! And you're complaining?

*sigh* Bottom line: keep trying. There is a limit to difficulty, and we all agree with that. But your own profile is proof that if you keep trying, you'll make it soon enough. There are so many players that joined this community later than me but are literally BILLIONS of BP ahead of me. Why? They keep playing the game! If you want to become better and progress farther, just play the game. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. I'm done.

@Mega B : I know I was kidding :P. Also, I wouldn't doubt that Adrian saw your suggestion; he's VERY good at being attentive to the community before making changes on the site, so don't get so down on yourself. YOU'RE SO DEPRESSING GOSH!

Okay, how about a compromise? Since we're both b-day boys, we don't have to get each other anything. Just rely on the others :).

MMPU skins. Amirite?

@Mega B I don't remember ANYONE suggesting ANYTHING about new tabs. Must be Adrian showing off his brilliance. That was a great idea, Adrian! :)

Anyways, My b-day is 9/23, so I'm expecting a new PS4, 5-7 games, and a brand new car from you guys.

Jk! :)

Or am I?......

Jk again. I am jking. Not about the second jk the first one. I'm jking my first jk.....so yea.

So I just learned that Friday Nights are actually BETTER for me than on the weekends... The open houses that were scheduled for Friday are apparently Saturday and Sunday nights. However, depending on the inconvenience of others, I am willing to still switch to another day. Mega B, why in particular is Friday a bad day for you? Is there others days that we should be aware of?

I'm with MBM. It's gonna be so awkward for me to do this on Friday Night believe it or not (bcuz of what I've mentioned twice already) I'm not sure how this thing works on the weekends, but it'd probably be better than a Friday. Or, heck, why don't you make to of them? I know that'd be a lot of pastebinning, but that way some people can make one while the others can try for the second meeting.

I will probably be able to "get on", but if I go afk, don't be surprised...

I hate Friday Night Open Houses...

The second one should probably be in Website Suggestions.

I'm afraid I don't understand your first suggestion. You mean like hitting Tab in-game would switch skins?

item:right:05{star}

Idk about Fusion stars though

Slash Man's weakness was Freeze Cracker...

I'm EXPECTING MM5, but would personally love 6 & 7 to be added soon. Also, as we discussed awhile back, I think the addition of fortress bosses would be great.

Well, Ring Man isn't a Space Core so I could easily see Slash Man being Cutter, although he seems more of a Swift type to me. Seriously, just battle this guy for 10 seconds in MM7 and you'll agree that he's very swift. Then the issue is what type(s) does Slash Claw fall into?

Welp, since Btman's characters' sudden appearance in my plot just put me on the spot lol, I'm gonna have to wrap this fight up.

NOTE: This post does say cuss once. However, I've spoilered the cuss word out, so i hope that helps. Anyways...

*cracks fingers*

Here we go.



.....HA!
*masses of Sakugarnes silhouettes start raining on top of Ballade, turning into black explosions as they hit.
Ballade swiftly dodges most of them, but can't help but get grazed by a couple, which in turn makes them explode.*
*Quint takes a moment to cool down... *
GYAAH!....Dang it, I gotta get up; this is my chance!
*Ballade holds his cracker cannons out (the ones on his arms) and grows two more out of his shoulders.*
Um, I definitely don't remember these before.....which means Quint doesn't either, heheh!
*Ballade opens fire* Pitiful, Ballade! More doesn't mean better!
*Quint spins his Sakugarne in front of him rapidly to create a shield that blocks the crackers and even their explosions...however...*
W-WHAT IS THIS!? *Only the purple parts of the crackers had exploded; some of the small white cups on the sides
had flown through the shield and stuck onto Quint.
More may not mean better, but different can EASILY mean better! *Ballade snaps his fingers, and the white particles explode.*

....Ballade....run...NNNNNNNRGH!!
If we both give it all we've got, Quint, justice WILL prevail! Fight with me! Come on, Quint!
NNNNNRGH NO! This ends NOW!
*Ballade smiles* Damn right it does. *He takes out a cracker and puts it in a compartment
in his chest, where various circuits begin feeding it energy.*
Here comes the hard part: letting it charge. Dust Man, can you get Pharaoh Man out of here? And, uh, sorry about your home.
Why are you sorry, Ballad? I don't see anything wrong...
Yet...just go, Dust Man. And my name is BallADE.
Okay, Ballad!....Oopsies, I can't. Something blocking me.
No one's going ANYWHERE! Now DIE, BALLADE! *Quint throws Sakugarne into the air, which comes down 20x bigger and jumps after Ballade.*
*Ballade narrowly leaps out of the way of the first hop, but Megagarne gains so much ground with each leap, it's all Ballade can do to
keep from getting crushed. Meanwhile, Quint is staying away from the rampage...*
*thinks to self* (So predictable. Quint is remotely CONTROLLING the killer pogo stick, it's all Quint can to do to maintain control!)
*Ballade leaps again, this time towards Quint. Quint smirks and morphs his arms into two busters, firing a volley of dark plasma shots from each.*
UMPH! *Ballade is caught off-guard and sent sprawling into a nearby junk pile. All seems lost...until Ballade's chest
starts to shine.*
For justice. *Ballade takes the shining cracker from his chest and throws it at....Megagarne? The pogo stick explodes in a
massive blast and sends Quint, Dust Man and Pharaoh Man flying into the junk.*

*The music stops*

Quint is the first one to get up, helping a weary Dust Man and a still unconscious Pharaoh Man out of the junk. He limps over to Ballade's immobile body when...
How's it going in he- Wait, what happened to Pharoh Man!? And the Killers? ...Wait, THE KILLERS!?
....D...Dust Man...
*Dust Man nods* Okie-dokie!

Dust Man sucks up the three of them and teleports out...
