Here are some suggestions for boss balance, because why not.

PO Roll:
Give her a reasonable range, and
Rage shouldn't heal. Oh man.

Mudkip:
Hitbox and rage aside, this is pretty good.
But the rage. I mean, geez. Let's start over with that. Or at least no healing; increase health to compensate.

Dio-Flash:
Super solid, save the rage.
Rage is "Eh..." as it just gives him a free killor two. I, again, do not know an alternative.

Remilla:
Overall inoffencive.

Unknown Robot Master:
I really enjoy this concept, But:
Item: Same, but spawned enemies should have less health, particularly Metools. Increase the charge rate to compensate.
Rage: This Needs to be reworked entirely. He could just get a scrap gun ala Classes DustMan, or something of the like.

Genesis Unit:
-Mega Water aught to be able to shoot harpoons at all times, perhaps as a second weapon.
-Hyper Storm should spawn Metools some how for general untility. Or not.
-Buster Rod is way too frail. He could also stand to have somthing akin to YamatoMan's spinning spear attack from classes, as he does that in the game. AND HE SHOULD BE ABLE MOVE AND SHOOT.
Rage: I don't even know where to start, nor what to do.

But then again, for any of these, I'm not trying to convince you I'm trying to convince Tails; I'd very much so appreciate a pm or something from him concerning these submissions.

I wanted to relax for a few days since it's Spring Break for me, and soon I'll have to buckle down and get some work done with both homework assignments and studying for a midterm, and also having to fix up some issues with Rebirth. I'm just looking over each submission and giving my personal opinions about them, but this in NO WAY means they will be accepted or considered if I favor a few of the submissions. I was waiting a bit longer for some more submissions, but I guess I must do this early.

If I don't get any posts after this, I'll just edit this post when I finish my analysis. Just to give you an idea of how far along I am: I finished Chaos_Fantazy's bosses, and it's time for dinner. Don't expect this to finish for a little while.

All is well, do it at your leasure. As though I needed to tell you that.

You missed mine. ;P

I'm so indifferent to that... I don't know what I could add to it. :

If it is the laughing stock, then it is successful. I do beleive it is intentionally so zainy and crazy. I'm not the biggest fan, but it's not offencively bad, by any means.

I knew that you'd respond. I did not elaborate my thoughts hardly at all here, so I will so now:

(click to show/hide)

LITTLE MAC
Yes, but a bit shaky on the particulars. Namely the Item.

Yes but shaky on the particulars? By that logic it's just "Yes, but No". Also nothing was definitive, the item
was stated that it COULD be removed.

Ok, if nothing is definitive about it, then my being unsure is a non object.

SAKUYA
Oh my God, no. Attacks, character; everything is no.
What I find silly is the amount of hate people have towards a modification of timestopper.

You descibed verbatim Dio Flash's rage, and it is not really all that fair. Free kills for a moment. FUN.

JOE INVASION
Yes, very interesting. I like it. To UnHoly if not here.
It's either here or nowhere.

Fine, then here alone. Geez.

CUTMAN RIDING THE FROSTMAN
No, what? NO. no
That isn't a reason of being denied by your "democratic vote". You need to come up with something better than that.

Ok, here. That sounds a bit too out-there for normal Hale, and is likely to cause problems with script and balance. It is indeed goofy enough to be in UnHoly, though! HA! Really though, it is. Not altogether bad, but eh.

M. BISON
Yeah, ok. Sure. The RaThor+Cpt.Falcon Critizism is a cocern, though.
Pretty sure my entire point of this submission was to bring the awareness of M.Bison back towards this mod, not actually use this setup itself. how many times do I have to repeat myself here

FRIGGIN', UNTIL WE HEAR YOU. But really, I do like Ceridian's idea, so you are successful regaurdless.

MARIO KART
Not feeling it, but could be cool. Maybe a good style for Sonic, though.
Again, you're not using an idea meant for something of my own for unholy bosses. That mod is literally the laughingstock of hale mods and I want nothing of mine to be associated with it.

What?

Rebirth Change Requests:

Cpt. Falcon:
What happened to Rebirthed Falcon? Maybe we could give that a second shot.

Ghost of StarMan V2:
He is way to fast! any atempt to evade him are futile ,even at base health! Why is this!?


Here are some ++ edits/boss return requests:

Name: Unknown Robot Master
Skin, Other Graphics, Theme: Same
Weapon: Same; add ReBirth damage/range scaling
Item: Same, but spawned enemies should have less health, particularly Metools. Increase the charge rate to compensate.

CHAOS_FANTAZY's suggestions.

The Horseless Headless Horsemann
Ok, got my vote. People may be weary of more TF2, but I like it.


Spiked Wall Man
Yes. This could be very interesting. If not here, then yes for UnHoly.


Copy Robot
I'd like to see it play out. Rage could just be RaThor's hypno, but with more powerful servents.


Invincible Airman
Eh... maybe? Could be fun...


Epic Pharaohman
No.


Hidden Shadowman
Nope.


Orange Juice/MusashiAA (SaviorSword HERO)
MusashiAA
SaviorSword
Orange Juice

What? No, I guess? Too strange.


Dark Bowser
Could indeed just be Bowser


Airman James

Nah.

Beta's suggestions

Alright I have done some thinking in the THINKING DESK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I decided who should be brought back from Hyper and ++.

Omega Zero
Yes, BUT lets move the Item to the main attack.
Main attack: Z Saber Combo. 4 or 5 hits to kill, each hit has a non-compounding hitsun to slow the player a bit thus combo-ing them easier.
Rage: Full charged buster. 3 or 4 shots of Charge Buster. Or something like that. Idk.


Sonic
Maybe? I don't know if he can be salvaged from his state in Hyper. I'd say start from scratch...


Unknown Robot Master
Yes. I like the concept. I have my edits above. Or below. I forget.

OK, my biggest complaint is one that I've mentioned a few times already:

Scrooge's Rage is bad and should not exist.

A few proposals for its replacement:

Rage Idea 1: Mrs. Beakley
"Mrs. Beakley?! What are you doing here?!" Mrs. Beakley teleports in, then throws out three items, randomly selected from the list below. Each one can be picked up by either the big duck himself or by a player, and the effects vary:
Ice Cream Cone - The most common one. Scrooge has a small portion of his health refilled (About 10 per remaining player?). Players have 50 HP filled, up to a maximum of 200 if you eat enough.
Cake - Big and tasty. Scrooge heals a decent portion of his health (About 25 per remaining player?). Players gain 100 HP, up to a maximum of 200 if you eat enough.
M-Coin - Ooh, shiny! Scrooge becomes invulnerable temporarily and moves slightly faster. Players gain the same effect.
Scrooge Doll - Now with cane swinging action! Scrooge gains a temporary allotment of health based on the remaining number of players, which causes him to feign death and teleport when it's depleted. Players automatically go to 200 HP and feign death and teleport when the first 100 is depleted.
Ruby - Where did she find this?! Scrooge is refunded 25% of his rage bar. Players have their held weapon completely refilled.
Heart Container - It's so pretty... Scrooge heals a great amount (About 50 per remaining player?). Players gain 100 HP, up to a maximum of 300 if you're somehow lucky enough.
Treasure - One of the Five Treasures. Incredibly low chance of spawning, but it doesn't actually do anything of relevance. It's shiny, though.

Rage Idea 2: M-Coin
Scrooge picks up an M-Coin, causing him to be enveloped in energy. Scrooge is invulnerable while this is active, and moves slightly faster than normal. In addition, his cane swings and pogo lose their "error margin," becoming instant kills regardless of whether or not the duck scores a direct hit.

Rage Idea 3: The Five Treasures
Scrooge reveals the Five Treasures, summoning the great Count Dracula Duck to aid him. Drake has health equal to about half his master's current amount, and a duration of about 30 seconds before he vanishes in a flash of bats. The Count summons bats that move erratically towards players, teleports around the arena, and swoops down on players who dare venture too close.

Rage Idea 4: Gizmoduck
Scrooge summons Fenton and his glorious Gizmoduck suit! After putting on the suit in a blur of energy, Gizmoduck unloads fast-moving missile payloads upon any man foolish enough to wander into his line of sight. These missiles have great target tracking and explode on impact, dealing enough damage to level a player if they make contact. ...There's also a very small chance that the suit will drop a slow-moving, non-homing nuke or a pair of boxers that float down harmlessly instead of the normal missile, but don't count on either happening with any frequency. Gizmoduck has about 25% of his employer's health at time of summoning and will automatically beam away after 30 seconds of service.

I like 'most any of his suggestions on paper.

(click to show/hide)

My time has come.
Name: Kung-Fu CutmanSkin: Kung-Fu Cutman's skin
Other Graphics(*): Rolling Cutter from the core, Cutman's desperation attack sprite from MMSP
Theme: Sonic CD Metallic Madness: Sonic Gems Collection 6290 Mix (because of the famous KFCutman YTPMV using this theme)
Soundbytes: I already gathered five or six of them from the Ruby Spears Cartoon to be used for Kung-Fu Cutman.
Description: He's going to make paper dolls out of you! Cutman's sociopath,  Peter Lorre-reminiscent counterpart from the Ruby Spears cartoon joins the fight.

Health(*): Hmm, not sure, but Cutman's a glass cannon in the classes mod so I imagine he'd have low health.
Main Attack: Modified Rolling Cutter: Follows same trajectory, damage balanced to kill in three direct hits, possibly two if that's not powerful enough for his health amount. Possibly given a longer delay between firing for balance purpose.
Super Jump: I was considering the standard jump, though it could also be possible to do a leap, with vertical height not equal to a standard super jump being supplemented by increased movement speed for the duration of the jump.
Rage: For lack of a better idea (if anyone has one, please pitch it, this is the only part I haven't been able to come up with), replace KFCutman's Rolling Cutter with the super, shurikan-like cutter from MMSP. Further range and a OHKO. I'm not too fond of the idea but I haven't come up with anything better.


If this doesn't work, we could always make a Cutmanmike Hale like this but with a rage involving the fire his sprite has in the credits of MM8BDM.
...wow, five posts have been made since I started writing this and one of them also involves Cutman. D:

YES, yes! I like KungFu CutMan.

That's that, then.

Really, the Genesis Unit (and the Unknown Robot Master to a lesser extent) could be very interesting if they were Reworked a bit.
I'm very glad to see this mod resurface, though. Suprised to see Slenderman in the roster aswell.
Quite eager to see how it all works!

MM8BDM Discussion / Re: MM8BDM v4 What maps do you feel need work?

« on: March 02, 2014, 10:42:40 AM »

Well, having a very small above water section to get a weapon would likely add a much welcomed flavor to BubbleMan's stage, while Dive Man's need something other than the big, floaty room and the tiny Dive Missle room.

No one has adressed MM2DW1 yet. It's far too big for how flat it is

I like to think that it's far too flat for how big it is. Not the same thing!  

Then there's Magnet Missile on it. Ye gods.

Really, that better conveys it. And, yeah, the best stratagy on that map is Get Magnet Missle, Spam Magnet Missle, Win the Match.

MM8BDM Discussion / Re: MM8BDM v4 What maps do you feel need work?

« on: March 01, 2014, 10:48:46 AM »

I'm with them on the Bubble and Dive Man above water section-thing. They both feel very bland. If Dive Man's stage was the essentially same, just with lowered water and a floating, dry platform in the center, then that'd be grand.

Anyway
Drill Man. I love this change. It's beautiful!
Crystal Man. I think that the old design was better than this one, so it's likely something that you've already looked at. Over relience on teleporters, etc.
Wave Man is a that map I like, but I think that most of King Dumb's critizisms were well founded, and I  agree with most of them whole heartedly.
Bomb Man. I like the idea of lower ground instead of the pits, and MusashiAA's idea about expanding the center into an old MM1DW2 style center.

* MM7TUR - Could use some map height. A second floor and higher sky would be REALLY nice.

Yes, I like this very much.

No one has adressed MM2DW1 yet. It's far too big for how flat it is; many of the weapons don't feel as potent as they ought to in this environment. Perhaps adding a larger raised section or and underground section would be beneficial. I don't know, but this map and Dive Man are really the only 2 maps that I don't enjoy playing on.

If that's the duel health mod, no.

I already said no. That's the same implementation of the duel health mod. While health/energy does canonically recharge that way, time also stops while doing so (as in no enemy/you/anything moves), so if you looked at it in real time from the point you last moved to the point you can move again, you still instantly gained more health/energy.

I didn't know, sorry. I was just enamered by the marvilous mess that that mod is.

ANYWAY, the map. Yes, thank you. That map had a very fun derpy feel to it before, but I'm very glad to see it changed

Otherwise, check out the health pickup code to see if it's fit for implementation.

Until it turns stale.
