Mega Man 8-bit Deathmatch V5B - 22/05/17!

[CutmanMike]

It's been 2 years since the last update, but MM8BDM continues on! Mega Man 9 was a fantastic little treat from Capcom (and Inti Creates) that even became the favourite Mega Man game in many people's hearts. I have always loved 9 as I do the other Mega Man games, and ever since it's release I've always wanted to do it justice in MM8BDM. We've had to make some interesting choices here and there but I think the end product is something MM9 fans will enjoy, and we have plenty of surprises for Mega Man fans as well so scroll down and grab the download link below!

Notes

Shouts must go out to the current MM8BDM team who made this possible. V5 had a rough start with the departure of Ivory who set an very high standard of quality and was very proactive towards getting the project done. Mega Man 9 may have had the content ready for us to implement but there is still a lot you have to think about and tinker with once you start adding it to the core game. It is also a very beloved game so there were lots of conflicting opinions on how things should look, behave or even sound. It could not have been done without such a relentless team of people who took time out of their lives to contribute, for nothing but what working on the game means to them. Thank you for your continued support (your medals are in the Cutstuff post!)

Also thank you to those still sticking with us and playing MM8BDM. I know a ton of players don't even read the forum, but seeing players still enjoy and get hyped for MM8BDM is what keeps me going back to have long battles with ACS and DECORATE and push Zandronum to it's limits.

I think at this point promising that a MM10 expansion should come a lot faster than this one would be shooting myself in the foot so I'll just close with "Stay tuned".

Please provide working mirrors if you can, I know a lot of you don't like MEGA for downloading.

Oh yes, and for the sake of people just coming in:

Try to avoid posting spoilers... at least until page 2 of this topic.

[Beed28]

Can't say I wasn't expecting Beed to be first.

I'll provide a Painkiller link if anybody doesn't before me.

Finally, the world's F5 keys can be put at rest! :P

Thanks for the hard work on this great mod, can't wait to play it and struggle against the bosses!

[TheRealRoyale]

YES

[Turbodude]

The expansion I've been awaiting the most since MM7, it's finally here!

Stupendous job to all those involved. I am so psyched to play this!

[GameAndWatcher]

[Hallan Parva]

== Item 2
+Now spawns underneath you when you're in the air.

Wait, but then how will you be able to "staircase" your way up to a high ledge? Does it check for velocity instead of just checking for a floor beneath you?

== Proto Buster
+Can no longer hold shield out when charging a shot.

I'm ready for Proto Buster in Duel

== Leaf Shield
+Complete rework.
+Put up a temporary shield that blocks one oncoming hit*
+Lasts a short period
+If the shield is hit, release a flurry of leaves in the target direction.
* damage may still be sustained from the hit, depending on the source.

So it's more like a "quick counter" version of Skull Barrier? Interesting. I'm gonna like playing with this.

== Mega Ball
+Default slot changed from 4 [Close] to 2 [Ranged]

== Copy Vision
+Default slot changed from 6 [AoE & Special] to 2 [Ranged]

== Sakugarne
+Default slot changed from 6 [AoE & Special] to 4 [Close]

Great work guys, can't wait to really dig my fingers into this.

I just started V5, so one of the first things I did was to check on one of Guts Man's lines. Sure enough:



This line was relevant from v3a to v4c, but now it needs to be updated, since the boss endurance chamber is back now. Just have Guts Man say it used to be where the patio is.
