Please don't nerf Quint. If you're going to nerf Bass the robo Shark and everyone else fine ok but don't nerf Quint. We need at least 1 boss that is actually hard and challenging, plus since he's the "secret" boss (as in, not an "official boss needed to finish the campaign"), you should go more harsh on his difficulty, since you don't "have to" fight him. It's the point of secret bosses to be hellish hard. Nerfing him defeats that point. No nerf for him pls. Except spawning a bit further in the 4th phase, yeah this is fine, it's rather a fix than a nerf

bass isn't even hard
I mean you have almost infinite flying and a homing fist so you don't need to aim. And checkpoint after the first part. And he's meant to be defeatable Mega buster only. You just didn't played against him enough because if you did so you'd have gotten used to his patterns and stuff.

Like he's easyy if you know what you're doing (that is seeing which attacks he does and how to position/react properly)

he's not even a warmup next to the mm9 bosses

(also player skill is also a factor)

IMO sweating for an hour with over 100+ tries in front of a boss is a experience you'll remember, even if the fight might seems unfair that's good it teaches you about how hard real life is just like some games used to be hardcorely hard.
In a masochistic way a boss "seeming impossible" to defeat >IMO< is a good experience. And it's not anyway a Player vs Player fight so you can't be salty about it like if it was some kind of competitive thing. Bosses battles aren't meant to be some relaxing walk in the park like you'd farm bots in DM, they're here to test you harshly (especially the Final / Secret ones)

I defeated the [secret final boss] of v5 after 3-4 days (1 hour a day trying to get further in the fight) and I eventually did it (without cheats ofc) and I kind of feel good for it. You should try to deal with it and fight it and you'll be rewarded, instead of complaining and asking for nerfs. That's good if they have lunatic difficulty.

Spoiler of a spoiler : in the Quint battle you can use Drill Bomb to destroy the rocks (from his circular rock pattern attack, the one you can't jump over), I figured that out after 150+ tries
EDIT : wait actually tomahawks destroy them too

Also I am the only one who's getting really sweaty hands when fighting Quint

How do you defeat the head part of the shark ship thing? I usually waste my concrete/magma ammo on the dragon, and then the head part is very hard to dodge, takes no damage and has no weakness

also here's the real real real real secret of v5 everyone missed

(click to show/hide)

Shoot this texture 100 times under 30 seconds then get behind Bass like that



and press "use"

you'll notice the area around will start shattering


repeat the manoeuver until the area is very dark and destroyed and Ra Moon x Ripot from Battle & Chase will challenge you to a final battle on the moon (MM?MOON is the map name) you can go there from the lab also spoiler : Quint will unite with Punk Enker and Ballade and at this point of the game you'll face the real real final very boss.

EDIT : here are a few personnal tips for anyone trying to Mega Buster only the Treble Bass boss (not a spoiler I think at this point everyone knows Bass is the MM7 Chapter boss). It took me about ~1 hour to defeat his Treble form with buster only and it's definitely harder than with the adaptor (dunno if it's comparable to the MM9 final boss). I don't know if they're god tiers tips but that's what I applied and I did it without cheats so um try again sweetie

(click to show/hide)

> try to keep the most distance between you and him most of the time. For two reasons :
 1) he's very fast and agile, if you stay away you'll be able to always or almost keep him in your field of vision (which you should do absolutely.
 If you don't know where is, well you don't know where he is, and also you can't see which attacks he's about to use) so yeah stay away to keep him in sight most of the time, and
 2) because simply the further you are the more chance you have to dodge his attacks

> try to stay on the two top platforms. There are essentially two floors and then there's the pit. You have a joker (beat call) so you're allowed to fall 1 time in the pit. Even though try to stick on the top platforms as you're less likely to fall in the pit from there and you have more control in the fight IMO. Following the previous tips, if Bass gets too close to you, jump to the opposite top platform.
If you fall in the pit with beat call, get to the top platforms back (eventually by grabbing the HP pellet if you have to.) Don't stay in the bottom portion

> strafe-run to dodge his buster attacks (the pellets, or the big dark charged shots, both apply. Note : if he surrounds himself with dark energy, he's going to use the big dark shots (or another special attack).
If he doesn't, he'll use the standard buster). Jumping can also help. If you do both you'll probably dodge the shots most of the time with enough practice.
If you ever cross the arena near him by jumping and he charges dark energy to shoot a full spread charged shot in your face, you'll probably take like 60 damage and just want to just type KILL in console.
You want to restart the fight also if you waste your jokers (HP capsule/Beat call) when he's still at like >80% HP. No point in continuing

> Hold firing button 100% of the time. It's kind of psychological but when you stop firing with an infinite ammo weapon, you'll kind of feel more fragile and lose control on the fight

> He has two attacks which make him stop moving for some time. The "dark super adaptor" and that special attacks that makes energy bolts fall from the ceiling.
You should try taking a decent chunk of HP at this time, especially with the ceiling bolts attack because he's literally not moving for 5 seconds during it, and about 3-4 seconds for the dark adaptor.
Just take some security rules (for the dark adaptor, stay far away from bass so the fist can't reach, or hide behind one of the pillars. If you're really good you can straferun-dodge the fist at close range...) for the ceiling energy bolts, look up and stay between 2 bolts, and do a high jump as the first barrage is about to explode on the floor and you should be ok
BTW the dark adaptor does a "mega buster charging" sound so it's easy to spot it.

> He has a kind of luck-based attack (IMO), that upward diving with a flurry of dark holes. Sometimes you won't get a dark hole in your face sometimes you will. I'd usually hide behind a pillar to make sure they won't touch me.

> The battle is kind of a bit luck-based anyway because the attacks he chooses to use are randomized.

> You can collect the Super Adaptor, just don't use it

> Practice, practice a lot, and don't tilt. I personally didn't find a cheap strategy / IA bug abuse or something in it.

> You fight another boss after defeating Bass buster only. But don't worry it's not a third form or whatever, it's actually like much much much easier than the bass fight. Should have been the warmup before the Treble Bass fight tbh...



TL;DR : Keep the most range with Bass as possible and try to keep him in sight all the time. Stay on the upper portion (the 2 top platforms), avoid falling into the bottom portion. Dodge his buster-type attacks with your sick side-straferunning skills and jumping. Burst him down hard when he uses the Dark Adaptor or the "ceiling falling bolts" attacks.
Don't rage, keep practicing

To whoever thinks the Bass boss is hard
you're about at 5% of your real suffering when you'll see what's in MM9.

Fantastic job to whoever did the boss battles btw. Very very rage-inducing how I like them. Would replay again and again now and in a few months and years for nostalgia in the future

I kind of think some stages are about alright. Fire Man and Oil Man are about balanced IMO.
The thing is we don't want the game to be too much difficult in the early game (a.k.a when you have no weapon and no part, you just started), but at the same time not rushable/speedrunnable and easy in late game (when you go in the maps with 8 weapons, 2 parts and a stock of 5 w/e-tanks), trying to find the just equilibrium between both cases

Bass's buster power increase as his hp lowers btw. When you have high health it does 3 dmg/pellet (Megaman does 10 dmg/pellet for the reference), but when your hp gets low his bullets increase to 7dmg/pellet.
Iceman's is a special case, long story short he USED to have a map, but it had to be removed, so to compensate, Iceman himself has more health and his fight is made intentionally harder.


In some cases we used a wall switch (you press the "use" button on them), there are a few in Cutman's stage, but I'm not completly sure yet. These blue switches really seemed to be a recurent idea to implant, but we could find something alternative and maybe more dynamic/fun to trigger, or looking closer to the original games.

Yup, I received a message from JC with what you just said. I applied this to all enemies and bosses for the next version (or beta we'll see)

I don't think we need these sprites like, right NOW, as we're mostly fixing and balancing (and at the very best scenario adding timeman's map), but otherwise we're not really inclining toward mm2+ episodes new stages/content for the moment ^^

Just a little exception for this, I kind of wanted to rework the last part of Heat Man's stage (with the raising/lowering lava). The following was actually made months ago, but we judged too difficult to play for the first beta (everything I do is broken or difficult for some reasons), hopefully you could put in practice your obstacle course skills into this next version

(click to show/hide)

yes it's a yoku block portion, guess why it wasn't added on the release

that aside thanks everyone for the mod's reception. Bugs aside (Guts lifts unsynch, Bombman being outrageously difficult and some other bugs or stuff here and there) it was overplayed for the past few days. Hopefully you'll keep appreciating it, especially after some overall difficulty tweaking (so Survival becomes more relevant, because yeah the mod was designed for a 3-lives survival)


Does anyone have a fixed link for the discord chat btw? I forgot to join it, and now it says the link has expired.

I've been reviving and contributing to this a lot after it died. Since a lot of work was done on it, I really wanted to get this done so it doesn't die like 85% of the mods. Eventually toward the end (the version JC posted right here you can get) I kind of lacked motivation and lost time IRL

anyway, a big thanks to JC for his huge work on the maps (he actually finished Bombman's map when I asked him, made the whole Gutsman map by himself (based on a canvas by Pik) and even wanted to make Timeman's) and the rest of the devteam who helped with it, because it wasn't easy behind the stages.

While it's not perfectly finished it's definitely playable and I encourage everyone to give it a try (still a public beta but close to be done) (Plus it'll change from the casual daily TLMS Classes.) Most bugs found during testing were fixed, the BIG issue that we didn't manage to finish was the difficulty of the mod. The mod is extremely difficult, even in CO-OP, in my opinion. I wouldn't recommand hosting survival before at least a few adjusts.

I just had a random idea, dunno if it's the best place to put it here but anyway
can Needle Cannon and Yamato Spear shoot projectiles 1 by 1 instead of by stream of 3? You can achieve the same result by holding fire for 3 projectiles, so Iunno why this was done except maybe for canon purpose
