Yes, the day has finally come. I tried to stay up, but unfortunately my poker game caught up with me. I woke up so late and missed it >_>

I still expect to change my avatar to Gemin-...Dang it! It seems victory has been snagged! Two Gemini avatars would look redundant next to each other! You win this round, Tails...

Anyway, another new feature not mentioned(not one I saw) are the bios! Then again, it WAS a long night :P

To anyone of those who believe that the Update has NO chance of appearing today.......


Mega Man 4 : The Meganificent Update(another huge Update)
Posted by Adrian Marceau on October 11th, 2013 at 11:23pm

So finish up your business and start to log off please! Now, I'm not exactly sure if it is coming today, but you can still view new things through the guest account? Better than losing Battle Points and things you were posting....Bye! I'm leaving!(BTW, I've been observing thins for the last hour! Super-excited...and tired.)

"Hey you,

Just wanted to give you an update and a few notes before I start programming again.

Firstly, yes I do have a day job. I work as a web developer - programming various websites and applications, doing the necessary design work, and (more recently) leading a small team of younger developers/designers - from 8am to 4pm Monday through Friday. It takes me about an hour to get work and a little more than an hour on the way home because of traffic and because I almost always have to get groceries or run other errands. I get home around 5:30pm most days and then have to do my daily cleanup of the house (because apparently no one else will) and put groceries away and then start making dinner. And then of course we have to eat. This means most days I am not able to start actually programming until nearly 8pm. I may take a moment or two to reply to one of your emails or start up my computer, but that's not often. And given that I have to wake up at 6am the next morning you can imagine how little time I actually have every night to work on the game before it's lights out. It's frustrating not being able to work on the game as much as I'd like to, but that's life and I have to pay the bills so... yeah. I'm not mad at you guys or anything - I'm the one who keeps getting my own (and everyone else's) hopes up when I think it's gonna be done - but I want you guys to know what I'm working with here. Weekends are obviously better but I still need to contribute to my family, keep up my end of the chores, and take breaks so I don't burn out. It's hard for me and I really am sorry to keep you waiting, but I promise it's not from me being lazy or incompetent. I really love this game and you guys and for some strange reason it's the most important thing in my life right now - please be patient with me.

That being said, I do PLAN to have the update ready to start launching tonight and then it should be playable sometime tomorrow afternoon, but please remember I'm human and I'm trying my best. I will let you know if things change. I did forget about one thing - making Super Arm sprites for each of the eight new fields - but that should only take me an hour. After that I need to make some text edits and then..... that's it. I'll turn off all the debug and admin options, do a quick run-through of all the battles and functions, and then if all is cool I will update the main website with an "offline" notice and start the process.

I would like to ask that everyone try to get their play/posts wrapped up by the end of the night and please log out of your accounts. I'm going to be making a massive backup soon after taking the site offline, and I would like to avoid anyone loosing progress (even if it's just a few minutes). I know it's been a long, painful, slow journey, but this update will absolutely be worth the wait. No matter how many bugs it ends up having, I will do my best to fix them and the parts of the game that do NOT have bugs will still be as amazing as they've always been. :)

Wish me luck!
- Adrian

OH, and one more thing. In addition to the MM3 fields getting new music (obviously), many of the other event-stages are getting new themes too. Several in some cases. And I tried to make sure each tab in the prototype's main menu has unique music too, so look forward to that. :)"

So, yes, Adrian is planning to release today, but do know that he is busy and that it does take time. So, just because he hasn't released it yet today doesn't mean he isn't later. Please give him patience guys! He truly does deserve it! Although, I know we're all super-excited! Good luck Adrian!

Um, it's a hype bus.... Anyway, Tails, the day isn't done yet and Adrian has a job. Now, I don't know his work schuedle, but I've noticed that he sends from his Iphone around 2:00, meaning that might be his lunch break. He sends from a stationary device around this time, meaning this is when he gets off work. He's probably still working on a few quick things that he didn't get to finish yesterday. Now, I've also noticed that most updates happen later in the day. He hasn't sent me anything stating he's delaying, so until then, the tenative release date will be today. We have so many hours until the day ends, just wait a little. :) Adrian's human and he's most likely testing as we speak. Probably refining a few things(or most likely taking a break, as he most likely just got off work.) If I get a message that it's going to be delayed, I'll tell you guys, don't worry. Anyway......Good Luck Adrian!

Actually, it's a Hype Bus. It takes 4 months to get there, but the destination is even bigger!

*Honk-Honk*

COMMA YA IDIOTS!! YA TOO SLOW! EVERYONE ON THE ROAD IS EITHER STUPID OR A MANIAC!!! BLAAHHH!!!

Said every driver ever. Unfortunately, the Hype Bus driver is every driver ever.


EDIT: Surprise noise! 13 people on! Why does everyone buy the Hype Bus Pass at the end of the trip?!

Nah, just kidding! It just means plenty of people are really excited....like me and Every Driver Ever, our Hype Bus Driver.

Friday is likely, but I don't want people to get hyped up again just to be disappointed. Now, based on what Adrian has told me, it is most likely coming tomorrow, because if a game breaking bug happens, he couldn't fix it until the weekend. Now, he still has some things to fix, but tomorrow is when he'll try to get it out. I'll put what he said later today, but he still needs do some little things. And yes, I will definitely make Gemini Man my avatar. Don't know how the holograph will fit into the little side box, but until then....

Woah, SpinStrike, hold your horses. We don't know for sure. Now it's most likely tommorow, but don't get your hopes up just yet. But Adrian did tell me he just has to tweak a few things and it'll be done. So likely, but maybe, ya know?

Also, that picture is adorable, so props for that.

Continuing on Smash.....

Because of all the hype Nintendo has been getting, they sent a few demo copies to notable people. Did you ever think you were a casual gamer? Well, I don't think you're clueless.

I've had some first-hand experience with Mega Man, and I found he was a great character. Of course, he was no Meta-Knight but moved perfectly fine. Course, perhaps it's cause I analyze his moves and play out how he plays in my mind, and it just happened to pay off at the Demo at Best Buy.


To be honest, I think only Final Cutter is bad. As a professional Smasher, Stone works great defensibly and can take most attacks, and when your time is up, simply perform Final Cutter as fast as you can to stun your opponent. Works great. Although, Final Cutter has terrible damage output and knockback and as a recovery move, it's the worst, only next to Ike's.

Also, I feel Hungrybox was more chasing his opponent if anything. He made great use of Sky Suplex, especially in Punch-Out!!. I feel he only lost due to the cheap Sudden Death and because Zero Suit's range was much better. If anything, his opponent was really just using Smash Balls and the Laser beam to get by. In the Grand Finals, Hungrybox was definitely relying on skill, while Zero Suit just spammed a technique and bounced around the field. Effective, but there's a reason why people booed.

Anyway, I completely respect your opinion and I wanted to show my response. Not every character and strategy works for everyone, and everyone has a different voice on a subject. *Cue final chapter from Gigamix*

June 10th FaceBook Post-"In progress screenshots of the new update - still need to update the placement of enemies in the background and flesh out their abilities, but otherwise we're almost done!"
Really the photo's are just the ones already seen here so nothing new...

However, did you notice some things in the Workshop picture?

Monkey Punch-Return Monking

Leap Frog-Ribitron

Elec Spark-Elec'n

Snake Shot-Petit Snakey

Power Spin-Spin Fiend

Nitron Bolt/Ice/Fire-Nitron

Magfly Missile-Magfly

Pins'n Needles-Needle Ned

My god, those puns are hilarious.

Changing Bossman post #147

After playing Power Battle, a much better move for Wood Man would be

Wood Roll-Wood Man moves at a rapid pace at his opponent. Now, the damage taken is on the User's defense, not offense. Since Leaf Shield increases defense, it would be a powerful pair. Types: Wood/Swift

Metal Man's "Room Change" is perfectly fine. This doesn't benefit Metal Man, but could help teammates like Wood or Hard Man. Types: Electric/ Cutter

Crash Avenger-Crash Man could use some Crash Bomb that explodes in one turn, depends on offense,.and grows in strength when a team member was defeated in the last turn. Types: Explode/Shadow

Quick Man's Quick Attack is also fine, but it will be Swift and Impact

Heat Man's is like Fire Chaser, but based on speed, being called Atomic Chaser/Tackle/Whatever... and having a Shield side type due to Heat Man's making of some sort of a fire shield. Perhaps we could change the second typing...Hmm. There must be a better side typing.... Perhaps Impact?

Air Man's will take two turns to attack, but gets a field typing as well, and the attack power is boosted if the field typing is also wind.

Flash Strike is fine once again and could be one of those moves with low power by itself but if every shot hits....

I wanted the Kirby player to use more Stone considering on how OP it is. Then again, he handled Sky Suplex expertly, which was probably why he got so far. Although, he definitely had the best skills of all the fighters.

For anyone who watched the Invitational Tournament,(Not going to spoil the winner, despite on how mad I am about that win)


Warning: Rant Alert

Was anyone else disappointed in the Mega Man player?(Yes, he did not win)
In my opinion, he was the worst player there. Relying too heavily on Flame Sword and Slash Claw. Ignoring an Assist Trophy right next to him that later gained multiple KOs, and not taking his chances by leading the players outside by damage or following then doing a Hard Knuckle, designed to be his Meteor Smash technique. The only way he got so far is because he was constantly fan-favorite due to being Mega Man. Hell, his only good moment was when he got the Smash Ball and we got to see his Final Smash(Hint, it includes Black Hole Bomb). Now he did not get much practice with the character true, but as you know about the whole Best Buy thing, I got my hands on Mega Man and he is easily accessible and would easily go into S-Tier! Seriously, he really is a "SUPA FIGHTING ROBOT"! Of course, had Hugs(the player) had more time to practice with Mega Man, I'm sure he would have done better, but the other players who used newcomers actually got pretty far by skill, not by favorites. He seemed to be a good player, but relied on moves that weren't "Smashing" techniques. He was even in stages that were great for his other, better moves!(Except the Punch-Out Stage) Anyway, I did like the tournament and enjoyed rooting for the Mega Man player, despite his shortcomings. Good luck to Hugs in future tournaments.

I however did not enjoy on who won due to how they won.

Super Smash Bros has one more character to reveal......

Another 3rd-part character?!

Sakurai, Y U TAKE $$$ FROM ME?!

No. It's actually one of those sandbox games where you create everything.

If there was a Microsoft Smash, I think the roster would be lacking, due to almost no innovation in Microsoft's part.

Halo soldier
Banjo-Kazooie
Conker
Cole
Evil Cole

Conker?! Yes, I've always wanted him to return after the dissapointment of Reloaded! Wait....DLC IN ANOTHER GAME?! WHY MICROSOFT, WHY DO YOU MOCK ME?!

*Talking about reveal of DLC in Project: Spark*

@CHAOS_FANTAZY
I seriously recommend getting Kid Icarus Uprising. The dialouge in that game is oh so sweet and no character feels generic or uninspired. Honestly, the best part of the game is the interactions between the characters. The gameplay is fine, feeling like a cross between Zelda and Star Fox. I feel that if Ghirahim and Magolor don't have much moveset potential. Which Magolor would we use though, Good or bad? Not much going on either way. Still waiting for Meta Knight....

@Reisrat
I have no idea what can please you then. I feel pretty excited for the game info that was released. Mario Party 10 will be the game that ruins friendships for sure. Anyway, Doom 4 probably will be another letdown so don't get your hopes up. The first two are really the only ones worth playing, as they're the ones that revolutionized the shooter franchise.

But Wii U.... SF......

Here
22 seconds in, you'll see it.

Ah yes. Pfff.. Not exactly computer smart over here....
