[Suggestion] Change Base Skin to Sniper Joe

[Gumballtoid]

As is, the base skin is Mega Man. As is, whenever you're missing a custom skin, players using it default to Mega Man. As is, you'll typically find 80 Mega Men in a non-classes server.

I think that's sorta silly. And I expect I'm not the only one.

I think it would be vastly more apt to change the base skin to Sniper Joe. This shield-toting fellow, unlike Mega Man, is mass-produced and a common sight in any Mega Man game. Seeing several of them in this environment would be a lot less noticeable because they canonically come in numbers, unlike Mega Man. Not only that, but if someone wants to actually use the Mega Man skin, they can do so and it won't be mistaken for a custom skin. With Sniper Joe, a skin used so rarely, it should be obvious who is using a custom skin.

I propose this because the whole "custom skin" dealie then won't be a deterrent for using the Mega Man skin. You want to use a skin that makes you stand out, but that can't happen if 80 others are also using it, whether or not they mean to.

If there's a method of making Sniper Joe the "custom skin skin" without making him the base skin, that'd be better, but as far as I know, this is the only way.

+1

I like the Mega Man skin and I rarely use custom skins anymore, so this would work

[Thunderono]

whoa here's a thing

I don't know I really like this because seeing megaman is cool and all but oh there's another one
And another one
And another one

I feel like it would flow a bit better if it were sniper joe, and as Gumball said, there are typically more

[SmashTheEchidna]

I'm all for it. In fact I could swear someone brought this up before, but it never got anywhere.

[Ceridran]

I approve of this in every way. If I recall correctly, I asked for this in the past.

Megaman just looks so dorky.

[Solar Equinox]

I approve, someone make this a thing.

[Laggy Blazko]

I'd love if that happened, but I really doubt it because of that "consistency" thing.
OK, I admit it, I don't know what that word means.

[Jatea]

why not make a met the base skin

but yeah
megaman is a dork

something more easily explainable for stock skin is better

woo

[Korby]

I remember when this was suggested years ago.

I'm not really against it, but you could technically just use Megaman? instead if you wanted to use a megaman skin >_> <_<

Common sense.

[Knux]

This makes sense. I'm all for it!

[Zard1084]

+1 for Sniper joe being the base skin!

[CutmanMike]

I think it would be better to just change the default skin via the default ini file to Sniper Joe (or whatever) as changing all the names and sprites for the base class etc will probably be more troublesome than it's worth. Either way if we do this we'll just be alienating a different skin other than megaman.

Edit: Come to think of it, doing this is just passing the default torch to another character and not actually solving the issue. What about changing your default skin to a random one when you first install mm8bdm?

[Magnet Dood]

I agree with this suggestion.
