You know, Schmeck. I thought I'll Begin from the SRB2 forums was bad. But Christ, you are getting on every single nerve I have!!!
Holy crap I think some of you actually don't know what "balance" means. Like, at all...!
Look who's talking. You bash every idea that isn't yours without even considering it.
Does every class have a fair shot at winning? Or are some too powerful/not powerful enough? That's balance. Look at Charge Man. He does little damage and his attack sometimes doesn't even work. He's UP. UnderPowered. Poor balance there. Look at Dive Man. He cannot be caught in a 1-on-1 situation in even a moderately open stage. He's (situationally) OP. OverPowered. Poor balance there. Aside from those two, we have good balance right now due to the lack of classes that just annihilate the competition the way Tomahawk man did. That's not subjective. It doesn't matter how you play, it matters what tools the classes have and whether or not those tools are insufficient or way too much. There's nothing subjective about calling a character who can run up to your face and rapid-fire a 3HKO overpowered, and hurting the overall balance of the mod. Balance has nothing to do with individual playstyle.
You'er essentially changing your opinion just so you can sound right. Of course every class is situationally overpowered or underpowered. That's just how their playing style works! Skull Man is good for hit and run. Shadow Man and Charge Man are good for melee fighting. We all get that. That doesn't mean that classes can't be adapted for other situations. Ask any of my friends. I don't use Elec Man to rapid-fire people to death. I use him to snipe people to death. This is why changes are made, so a character can adapt to a
number of situations, and not just one where he's only useful under the right circumstances.
As for Bright Man, he's fine. He's got his Bright Stopper and buster. He has the flash grenades because, in MM8BDM, the Bright Stopper doesn't freeze anyone, it blinds people. So the bulbs let him do just that. Though I'm not adverse to the bulb flash idea...
I'm glad that you're at least somewhat open minded to this. I think we should all throw a party. I just said it and I'll say it again: it is stuff like this that needs to be tried out to see if it is liked. That's why they call it
testing!!! You try it out, if no one likes it, back to the drawing board, or expand on the idea to make it more like able. You act like balancing classes is just impossible, and it's not. I've done it. (Not in MM8BDM, mind you)
I'm clearly not being nearly as stringent as your ridiculous examples so just drop the hyperbole already, jackass.
Classy.
Hmm...Who does this remind me of?
Oh, yeah. Bikdark and Myroc.
