I think I have an idea to animate water shield.
It involves 16 (alternating) actors and approximately 114 sprites...
This sound acceptable?

After launching flash bombs in random directions (narrowly missing Crash, Flame and those other bots) Grenade "calms" down a little and sees Crash Man looking up from the ground. "uhhh... can I help you?"
He picks up him up by the head and looks him in the eyes,
"Yes. Are you the in charge of the explosives here?
If you say yes, I'm going to kill you.
If you say no, I think I might still kill you.
So... I'm not sure what answer I want.
Turban Man! I need your input!"

Suddenly, Grenade Man explodes through the building already on fire, his eyes aflame with rage (or perhaps actual fire).

"I WAS TEN MILES FROM HERE WHEN I HEARD SOMEONE WAS IN CHARGE OF THE EXPLOSIVES! NOW WHO'S THE BITCH?!"

Grenade Man now has a bomb launcher on each arm; he points one at Burst Man and the other at Crash Man.

I am very glad to see a public release of these!

I haven't tested a whole lot but Ivory's review seems pretty spot on.

Did you know that water balloon can be fired incredibly fast in MM8?
I was disappointed to not see this property carry over into the conversion and I think it would make the weapon much more fun.

I think that the robots in Mega Man 10 were built by Wily and given jobs, only to go rogue when roboenza came about. I mean, roboenza is apparently making the robots violent, right? Why didn't Roll go violent? Why did only 8 robots go violent, and they were all DWN?

Mega Man 6 is also a bit fishy...

MM10 takes place a month after the intial outbreak, Roll probably got infected near the end of this month and was thus still suffering earlier symptoms.
Or it could very well have to do with her older version of AI working differently with a virus intended for newer systems.

As for just 8 robot masters and Wily serial numbers, I got a theory for that.

The games don't actually show the whole scale of world domination or fighting that goes on in these schemes. Mega man's role is to wade through strongholds to defeat the robot master leaders; world militaries are fighting the hench-robots right outside the base and those attacking the general populace.
These robots are immune to bullets and plasma weaponry is too heavy and has too much recoil for a human to use. Fighting them is actually a really tough job and going after the leaders themselves is suicide especially when considering the hazards on the way.
All this considered, perhaps there were more than 8 in MM10 but the army actually managed to defeat a few of them.

And as part of the policy regarding the processing of these types of mishaps, governments must have official names (serial numbers) and full information on the robots' production. Usually they were all built in one place, but not so in MM6 and MM10.
Given their notoriety in helping Wily's schemes (and being eliminated by Mega Man), naming them DWNs is actually perfectly acceptable and simple.

I guess I can suspend my disbelief long enough for fatty's magical leaf shield to allow him to leap through the heavens.
Still N btw, but then again, I don't play Wood Man.

I'm thinking of giving him a lighter jump when he has the leaf shield activated. Y/N?

I don't get. N.

Suggestion: when he launches the shield he gets normal leaf shield's thing that reflects projectiles for that brief moment. It's situational, but bouncing around bombs can be fun...

I dont like how wood feels as if he has low dps and how he feels all around slow.
What is wood supposed to counter again?

I guess he's supposed to use the leaf shield to get through spammed choke points?
Of course once he gets through I don't really see how he would be a threat;
oh noes, 10 damage leaves... with cooldown... coming from a really slow fighter...
and he fired a leaf shield, IT'S SLOWLY COMING THIS WAY!

Due to the utopian nature of the Megaman universe poverty and crime are at all time lows.
As a result the police force is used less often and has gotten, well, rusty.
They arrested Dr. Light in MM9, you know, the scientist who has saved the world 10 times over?
Yet they did not arrest Dr. Wily in MM10 despite earning a life sentence in MM6 - MM7 and a reputation as a high profile terrorist. I guess his refuge in Light's lab could have been secret, but then he went to a hospital where he should at least be under heavy surveillance.

But people new to the class won't know exactly what their alt is doing or what they look like while doing it.
"Wait what did that do? OH, Needleman up there is impaling! I guess that is what I'm doing!"
"What the, this alt is making me fly? OH, he's got a magical aura!"

If I may make a suggestion: a list of bugs posted on the first post so that devs know what to fix and we don't keep reporting the same shit.

First bug: Bomb man's giga bombs do not sync right.
Second bug: Flash man's timestopper does not work right on a couple classes. It outright does not affect protoman, quint, and bass. Some of the MM4 classes stay stopped while getting hit.

Quitters got me a little nervours... bah, I'll try anyway.
By the way Flame is talking, I'm guessing he's supposed to be one of the first "recruits." Hope he dosn't mind some company...

Grenade Man here!
I'm several feet under sand right now~!
Why? Well, I practice this fancy thing called "shock and awe," and I figure, "whats more shocking than my entrance?"
Yeah, blowing up a wall is cool and all, but what if I could also blow up the ground and come out like some kind of drill-based robot?
And that is why I'm practicing in a desert. (Being on the run from both the law and terrorists gets you in some weird places...)
Burrowing and setting up the bombs took me a couple hours and I guess I haven't hit the detonate button yet in order to savor the moment...

Wait, is that a voice approaching in the distance? Finally, a witness and some feedback!
He sounds upset... well, who dosn't like explosions?! Time to make a happy day~!

*Hits detonator and a frantic burst of light, fire, and sand reveals Grenade man as he hops out of the sand crater he now just created*

"That. felt. good...
Huh, Flame Man? From that tournament?
I'm Grenade Man! How did you like my entrance?
Clearly you are shocked and awed!
Or maybe that's a seizure..."

Eventually, these became more common after a while, and they just got worse. Turbo Man crashes through a police barricade. Wood Man takes down a few trees. Crash Man nearly destroys a building. Top Man hits one of his dancing students. Nothin seemed to calm em down. Then everybody suspected Dr. Wily, and Mega Man, bein the hero and such, goes after him.

Weren't most of these robot's Wily's? Were they reformed into society? Because that sounds most likely (and flexible).

IIRC, ownership of the robots in the games goes like this:

(click to show/hide)

MM1: Light's industrial robots
MM2: Wily's first self-made invasion force
MM3: Light and Wily's industrial robots
MM4: Cossack's industrial robots
MM5: Wily's second self-made invasion force
MM6: Various robots from around the world
MM7: Wily's third self-made invasion force
MM8: Wily's fourth self-made invasion force
MM&B: Various robots
MM9: Light's industrial robots
MM10: Various robots
MMV: Stardroids

Your lack of insane, explosive, mm8 robot masters disturbs me...
For great justice...
I'M GRENADE MAN!

I'm opposed to fanmade robot masters. Don't get me wrong, I see no reason to break tradition and have a villain that doesn't have 8 new robot masters to do his bidding, but if we're going to do fanmade characters they need to be pulled off well. And I don't see that in what has been suggested so far.

I agree.
