Changelog for Version 3:

New game modes:
Capture The Flag - Classes turn into Auto or Alien based on their team and are equipped with a buster.
Terminator - Grab the terminator to turn into Wily Skull Suit! Main fire is a stream of energy blasts and alt fire is a shotgun that stuns. Wily is protected from AoE/Paralysis attacks. If you die as the terminator, the person who killed you gets 10 frags and you drop the terminator. If you kill yourself, you lose 10 frags, so be careful!
Possession / Team Possession - Players turn into Sniper Joe upon grabbing the board! Joe is a tad faster and jumps higher than Mega Man, and is ALSO protected from paralysis/stun and other AoE moves. (Centaur Flash, Time Stop, GHold, etc. do not stun Joe or Wily.)
Instagib - All players will turn into Metal Man with a special Instagib weapon.

Command-activated modes:
Botrushmode - Enter this command to activate Bot Rush. Classes will attack the player in a marathon style. After 50 frags, things will start to heat up!

Metalgearmode - Enter this to activate King Yamato's Metal Gear mode. (Possession variant)

SV_AllowBotClasses
SV_Disallowbotclasses - Enter these to enable/disable bot only classes (Dark Man, Doc Robot, Roll etc.) that do not normally appear. If Bot Classes are off, those bots will pick a class closest to them. (E.g. Dark Man 1 will change into Charge Man if bot classes are off.)

zheights - Each class has been adjusted so that it fires from it's proper "height". Try Centaur, Stone, or Ballade to get a feel for the classes' heights!

Ammo standardization - Ammo regeneration / item pickups are now constant regardless of server's skill level / difficulty setting.

Mega Man, Proto, Bass - Cooldown on slide increased.
Bomb Man - Alt is no longer insta-kill. Alt detonates faster and consumes less ammo. Main fire damage increased.
Guts Man - Alt-cancel removed.
Fire Man - Main fire damage decreased.

Metal Man - Cooldown increased after 3 shots. (Longer delay after ammo is depleted)
Wood Man - Altfire caps at 16 leaves. Leaf rain stops after shield is thrown.
Air Man - Main fire reduced to 15 damage per tornado. Alt fire consumes more ammo (four uses per bar)
Crash Man - Bomb radius increased

Dust Man - Main fire is not capable of 2HKO. (Old max damage was about 62. New max damage is about 45.)
Skull Man - Alt fire is now a shield that blocks attacks. Skull cannot take damage or collect energy while the shield is up. Shooting the shield depletes it faster. Skull Man's shield does damage when it is activated.
Dive Man - Alt fire requires a higher ammo before it can be used.
Drill - Rate of fire increase.

Napalm Man - Main fire ammo cost halved. Now has 3 alt fire uses per bar instead of two. Torpedos cap at 6 but regen 3 at a time. Main fire rate of fire increased very marginally.
Wave Man - Ammo increase.
Centaur Man - Alt fire radius reduced. Requires full ammo before it can be used.
Blizzard Man - Main fire flakes reduced to 8 damage each.
Tomahawk Man - Main fire damage reduced to 32 per tomahawk. Alt fire only fires 3 shots, does not kill at point blank.
Yamato Man - Ammo halved.

Enker - Armor decreased. Speed decreased.
Punk - Mainfire hitbox corrected. Mega's screws removed.
Ballade - Alt fire damage increase.

No Bass midair dash*
Darkman changes*
-SFX added to main fire, shields shoot forward, Main fire ROF increase
Needleman changes*
-Hold Main fire to charge up the ammo bar. Once the ammo bar is full, Needle Man's speed decreases and he unleashes a flurry of needles as the bar deceases. Alt fire is now a ripper.
Napalmman changes*
-Napalm fires two bombs simultaneously from each hand. Bombs and HUD are now in NES format (credit Blaze). When standing still, Napalm is granted Shoulder Rockets (maximum of nine). When used these rockets do 2 damage and hit stun. (Primary use is to stun, NOT to inflict damage.)
Bombman bug fixed*
Fireman changes*
-Main fire leaves behind flames (not continuous like the alt, just 2-3 flames dropped on the ground spread out)

-Main fire is one attack from the MM2 Masters, starting with Metal Blade. Alt fire rotates them in this order: Metal Blade, Bubble Lead, Heat Tackle, Leaf Shield, Air Shooter (long-range version), Crash Bomber, Time Stopper (single use, denoted by separate bar), Quick Boomerang. Current weapon is denoted by an icon of the MM2 Master in the corner. Previous Doc Robot class was given to the bot.

Chargeman changes*
-Walking frames added (credit Chimera). Walking speed decreased. During main fire, Charge Man turns red and gains damage reduction. Ammo regen nerf.

When he uses the icon, he transforms into Break Man (he is invulnerable during this transformation) and his health is restored. As Break Man, his buster and defense are increased, but he cannot charge, slide, or collect health or weapons.
Enker changes*
-Ammo regen heavily nerfed. When Enker stands still, he enters Absorb stance and gains armor (that he had at all times in previous versions). Alt fire damage increased.

This mod is an entire revision of the Classes Mod, made by King Yamato and Chimera Man. All classes have been coded more efficiently, and nearly all classes have received edits to their attacks, resulting in either power or ammo changes, with some classes having entirely different attacks. All robot masters from the NES titles are present, including Doc Robot and Dark Man. The major changes behind these attacks follow basic guidelines: Can the class be accurate to his game-counterpart? Is this class differentiated from other classes (not a clone)? Does this class give have some limits on his ability (he does not give "free" or limitless attacks)? Hopefully these guidelines will explain the ideas behind most of the changes. If you do not understand, I can explain any changes from the previous class mod myself.

For those familiar, this is the complete / first release of the King Yamato's Classes Mod, which was distributed as V5X / V5Y. I would like to thank all of the testers of this mod - I consider anyone who played V5Y a tester. Particularly my co-hosters, Ryuta and Cup Noodles.

[Captain Barlowe]

I still say these classes are the best, tied to...
...GvH classes.  
Main classes just got so boring after overuse and LMS spammage.

[Tails]

For whatever reason, Drillman has two weapons he can switch to. But there does not seem to be a difference.

[Korby]

So does Pharaohman.
After testing, there are quite a few classes in this that I do like way more than the ones in YD's, such as Snakeman, Hardman, and Iceman. I'm still not sure about giving Diveman a dash, but eh, accuracy I guess.

[LlamaHombre]

King Yamato made Ice Man the coolest guy in the world.

[Ukiyama]

I still question what Iceman hover comes from  

[LlamaHombre]

Ice Man slowly falls when he's firing his Ice Slashers in MM1.

[-FiniteZero-]

I'm sliiiightly disapointed that Bright Man doesn't have some variation of Flash Stopper instead of light bulb throwing, but Dust Man makes up for it.  

[Ukiyama]

Huh never thought of that... nice touch then

[LlamaHombre]

I'm sliiiightly disapointed that Bright Man doesn't have some variation of Flash Stopper instead of light bulb throwing, but Dust Man makes up for it.  

Go take some damage and come back to me.

[Ukiyama]

HE GETS THE COOL FLASH STOPPER AWESOME!

[Tesseractal]

I'm sliiiightly disapointed that Bright Man doesn't have some variation of Flash Stopper instead of light bulb throwing, but Dust Man makes up for it.  

Flash Stopper is an item Bright Man receives when he is at 75%, 50%, and 25%. He can carry all three of them.

[-FiniteZero-]

...*facepalms*

Sorry 'bout that. I do love the Dust Man class, though.

EDIT: Also, is Dark Man's "mysterious power" that he has a jump frame?

[Bikdark]

Well, this looks like a fun alternative to YD classes. I'll be checking these out in a bit.
Edit: Dear god, these are horribly unbalanced.

[Shmeckie]

You guys were getting so mad...! That can't be healthy.

Anyway, I like this mod. I'd say about as much as YD's, though there are some things I like better here, and some I like better in YD's mod. Dustman deserves special props for being both game-accurate, and ingenious. Mad props for that, yo! Dark Man still feels odd. I can't seem to find what his strength is, beyond hugging with his barrier. That can't be it, though, since Star Man pretty much has that down.

DOES Drill Man actually have two weapons, or is that a glicth? if it's the former, I don't see the difference.

LOVE this Pharaoh Man, by-the-by. Absolutely love this Pharaoh Man.

I still cannot stand that Napalm Man is forced to fire two bombs, though.

Yeah, there is balancing that needs to be done, but all-in-all it's great stuff so far. A fun alternative to YD's mod. It's a bit of a bummer there's no MM7 classes, but that's what YD's mod is for!
