[HOTFIX] - King Yamato's Classes Overhaul

[Shmeckie]

If anything, Shadow Man, despite being Ninja-themed, is very unstealthy. He jumps around like a madman, throwing giant throwing stars at you. When he fights you again, he decides to ride on the back of a giant, fire-breathing robot frog that spits out hordes of smaller robots.

He's less "real ninja", and more "10-year-old's idea of a ninja."

[SaviorSword]

I also wholeheartedly agree with takin' out that horrible Charge Kick noise for Shadow Man's slide. Ya might as well do the same for the other slides (unless they use Charge Kick of course).

Quite simply, he's designed with stealth in mind in this mod. His attacks are obviously designed for close range, and he has no health whatsoever, pointing to a class to be utilized for behind-the-back strikes. As you seem to want him Canon, your idea will not be achieved without giving him more health or nerfing the spread on his stars.

I have a suggestion; you know when you use Beat Call, it appears as Beat for Mega Man but as a Magfly for everyone else? How about making it appear as Beat for the MM4 Robot Masters as well? After all, they were all created by Dr. Cossack.

[Shmeckie]

Beat was created by Dr. Cossack for Mega Man.

Also, for serious; nerf that Pinpoint Thunder. How did that make it past testing?

I was just thinking; if certain folks could get over this goofy feud mentality over the classes mods, each mod would benefit greatly from a little cross-cooperation. Magnet Man's magnetizing animation, Hard Man's slam animation (and better-looking Hard Knuckles), some coding and ideas here and there (GEMINI MAN. My shadowing clone idea was brilliant and is what you should totally do for serious), etc. Not quite sure what's behind this goofy "DIS CLASSES IZ BETTUR DAN UR CLASSEZ HOW DARE YOU HAVE YURR CLASSES THBBBBBBBBT" mentality, but if we could shake that, we could build some better classes mods!

[Gumballtoid]

I agree. There's great things about both these classes mods.

[Shmeckie]

Seriously, I want whoever was behind that Elec Man alt to come in here and explain himself.

So Elec Man can summon the powers of Thor himself, but we can't have our Dark Man classes?! For shame...!

Ivory approved bump

I'm bumping this in order to strike interest in this returning back to life, I've been meagerly talking to King Yamato about this subject, and I want him to feel this is a good idea. and another reason why is because a very good friend of mine told me a very good point today in a chat which will remain anonymous towards his name.

The thing about classes is that it is relativity difficult to get people to actually play, or even host the mod itself, since it has to a lot with the community itself, and MOSTLY reputation. Since KY Classes came some time after YD classes, a good percantage of the community just says that KY "stole" YD Classes and made it his own, which really and truly ruins KY's reputation which further leads to the mod not being played and/or hosted. The main problem here is the community itself, KY has a valid reason to give up, since people judge mods/map packs/weapon packs based on the CREATOR and not the actual mod's/map pack's/weapon pack's content.

While this is true, if a few people do not like YD's Classes mod for some reason so the alternative is to play a different mod, such as KY Classes. The thing here is that KY Classes tries to emulate the NES closely, not too close while having a strong balance among it. While I still feel that the balance is slightly off, I would stick by KY classes, as AT LEAST, the creator KY, is reasonable when it comes to feedback coming from the community.

I'm mainly here to ask, would it be viable and a good idea to update this (also be honest about it, I don't need people saying "lolno" or "sure, why not", because I cannot tell if it's a serious or not serious answer.)

I mainly want to see if there is interest, after playing on a server of these again back a few days ago.

[Magnet Dood]

I'd love to see an update for this mod, as YD classes have been dominating for a while. It'd be nice to see KY's Classes back up again on the server list.

[LlamaHombre]

I'd agree if Celebi was also going to host these classes and not just the ones he works on

And I'm not sure if Roc himself wants to work on this anymore.

[Hallan Parva]

maybe we can get a human version of that Auto class huh

I'd support a rebirth of KY Classes as well. Though it doesn't have a lot of the gimmicky and stupid fun attacks that YD Classes has, I felt like KY Classes had more "polished" attacks. A particular Robot Master's bread and butter was just that; their bread and butter. It's easier to jet out Ice Slashers with Ice Man or snipe with Magnet Man or use Power Stone at all with Stone Man, and while this means the alt-fires are weaker / less useful / nonexistent to compensate, it helped make each Robot Master "usable" in multiple situations.

[Fyone]

I support this mod because accuracy. I hope that there will be a new version soon.

[Korby]

I will only support the revival of this mod if KY wants it to be so.

[Chimera Man]

King Yamato, if you are reading this...

...Please hear our requests.  

[Beed28]

I hearby support this. I prefer this over YD's because this one is closer to it's NES counterparts (like seeing Hard Man, Dive Man and especially Napalm Man in their correct colour palettes).
