What Robot Masters can we play as?
Every single damn one from Mega Man 1 to 6. I may consider 9 and 10 in the future but right now only the bots from the NES games are all I’m interested in. There’ll be some extras like Proto Man and Doc Robot too. The spriters understand that all Mega Man fans have their own personal favourites so we want to get them all on here so no one is missing out. All the Robot Masters are skins of Mega Man however so don’t expect unique powers and such. Maybe for another time…
Why some other time? Robot Masters with their own weaknesses and powers would be awesome!
It might, but not for everyone. Allow me to explain. First of all, there’s over 40 different Robot Masters which would mean coding up each one separately which would take a long time. That’s not too much of a problem, but then you have to think about balance. Let’s say your favourite Robot Master was Air Man. The game is released, and you play for a while and you start to notice everyone is playing as Wood Man and Proto Man and no one else. Soon you realise that Proto and Wood Man are stronger than Air Man and you have two choices. Either pick a better class and put winning before personal taste, or send me complaints to even the balance by making Air Man stronger. Now think about all the other classes I’d get complaints from. It would be friggin’ crazy, and would defeat the purpose of being able to play as your favourite Robot Master. Ghouls vs Humans is a class based mod that’s been tweaked and changed since it’s beta release in 2008, and people STILL send me balance issues. Trust me, being able to pick up any weapon will be more fun in the long run.
