MM8BDM v3a Released!

[Ivory]

This is also Mega Man where things already didn't make sense to begin with. I mean yes you could say having cargo on the roof makes no sense. But neither does having cargo that isn't tied down in any way while moving at full speed. On a normal train, those crates would be sailing off into the distance just as much as the ones on the roof.

[Shade Guy]

Don't forget that mapping sensibility takes precedence over real-life sensibility! Without cargo on the roof, the top of the train would be flat and boring, and that's no good.

[Rozark]

I completely understand that and I'm fine with it.
I still have my reasons of why I'm not too excited though.

[Beed28]

Also, seeing that we will be able to go onto Dark Man's outer castle walls in the new update, I ask this; will we be able to climb on top of Charge Man's train cars?

You finally did it. You actually did it. I have been waiting for this moment ever since I saw the Dark Man castle changes.

Also, what about having it so that the train itself bumps instead of the outside? Unless it would cause problems (Water Wave projectiles for example, which now works with with Jelly World in Chaos Generator by replacing it with a similar actor with +MOVEWITHSECTOR added to it).

Fire weapons underwater anyone? In fact, heck, Pirate Man couldn't stand being hit with Burner Man's weapon, and he even controls the water level in his room! Video game logic bends logic as we know it in different ways. Mega Man is certainly no exception.

Because someone had to go and burst his bubble.  
But now that you mentioned this, this makes me wonder if Flame Sword works underwater in Mega Man 8, and if it follows the method of Wave Burner

Wave Burner worked differently underwater then most fire weapons do. Also if you kept up the attack on him to keep him from raising the water level again you could deal extra damage and even ignite him on fire by hitting him with WB while neither you nor him were in water.

I thought steam cooking was a legitimate way to cook underwater creatures such as fish? (I'm a vegetarian, don't quote me on that). I mean, it's called wave burner, which implies it's purpose is to burn waves, right?

[fortegigasgospel]

It is called Wave Burner due to the wave motion in which the attack gives.
The flame waves up and down. As well as under water it gives off a ripple effect (IE causing waves).
Think of X1's Fire Wave, in which the charge gave off a wave of fire across the ground.
Wave Burner has it's own waving effect and comes from the boss Burner Man, thus the Burner part of the name.

[The Killer Nacho]

I think Wave Burner can be interpreted either way. Is there any canon evidence stating my interpretation is incorrect? (Granted, my interpretations tend to be wrong...)

[Beed28]

Something that bothers me a lot, and probably a major factor in why Wave Man keeps getting voted off and thus going to be replaced; there's no way to change the speed of the Wave Bikes ever since they were changed, making fighting on them extremely difficult if not outright impossible. That's why I kept the old behavior in Chaos Generator.

Prehaps something should be done to them?

[Messatsu]

I found them to be nothing but something to stall or troll a match.  From the original design of the stage, it seems the wave bikes were made to allow access to better items and allow transport between the various land structures.  However, almost entire matches on Wave Man resulted in jumping and firing weapons on the water.  By making the bikes not accelerate in the air and harder to aim with, it encourages using them for the purpose of getting items and getting back to land where you have better control.  That's my interpretation of it anyway.

[Ivory]

More or less what Mess said. I was all up for the change precisely because of being able to jump to gain speed led to outrunning projectiles and stuff.

[TailsMK4]

This must have been why I was unable to do "speed boosts" in my racing mod by setting thrusts...maybe I'll just have to experiment with walking on foot later.

[Hallan Parva]

or you could make your own edited version that reacts to certain inventory items and changes the speed accordingly


or you could just use Frost Man snowboards because those are awesome and fast and awesomely fast
