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

[CutmanMike]

We have a situation on our hands...

I noticed you used 8-bit versions of Geno's fanmade MM&B database images for Galaxy Man and Solar Man:

Yep! Geno/Molly is actually creating a whole set of 8-bit versions of those.

Hey, I got a question for you all. During the lead up to V3, Ivory showed off a feature where the MM1 maps reskin the Health/Weapon energy sprites with appropriate graphics using Argument 1, something that ultimately ended up not making it to the release to my knowledge.

With all the changes and additions going to V5b, will this feature be brought back?

To my knowledge, this was scrapped due to potentially confusing players. It's too bad there's no way to make it a togglable option, but I believe that isn't possible in the engine.

So, I noticed something interesting in the latest screenshot CutmanMike posted on his Twitter:

The quarantine room door is open. Are the Roboenza victims responsible for this tunnel?

V5b's campaign doesn't progress the story. It just updates the old chapters.

Yea as Broker had said, it was scrapped and kept as is due to the items being used are the most recognizable for Mega Man, and others might confuse players not familiar with them.

Honestly the MM1 Health/Energy were pretty ugly anyways.

While we patiently wait for Zandronum 3.0, here is a tease of what is to come!

[Magnet Dood]

Holy shit, this looks incredible. I had no clue all the boss fights were gonna be this expansive, and the new cutscenes look awesome! The new maps look nifty too- plenty of surprises.

Can't wait for that new Wave Man.

It's too bad about my Wave Man map being replaced, but the new story sequences and bosses look completely amazing!

So given that Gamma now apparently destroys the Mr. X map, will it be removed from the game?

[CopShowGuy]

I'm in love all over again!

[SmashTheEchidna]

Like seriously. I must have this update.

[The_Broker]

We've waited this long, we can wait just a bit more! Hang in there, everyone!

[Beed28]

So, two things I've noticed:

Remember this? Maybe this is part of the lab still being rebuilt after it gets nuked.

The other thing:

We don't see the pilot of the Cossack Catcher. It might not be Dr. Cossack piloting it for all you know.

[Gumballtoid]

I'm completely blown away. I'm stupidly excited for this update. This is undoubtedly worth the wait.

The god damn Mega Man? shrug is perfect and I need it.
