Really?  I thought that was the 2nd easiest boss in the game after Guts Dozer <_<
Just grab anything that isn't wild coil and strafe.  Or yeah, just use the Mega Buster.

Search Man.exe.  He blows the stupid classic series one out of the water.  Tomahawk Man is a close 2nd.

Nah, I wouldn't even include stuff like that unless you have Mega Man characters dressed up as the Christmas Story characters.  To me, forcing the use of Mega Man characters forces people to be more creative and more interesting.  Sure, having a Santa skin may be nice, but it's a lot more in the spirit of MM8BDM to have say Santa Dr. Light.

Now, inb4 someone puts a Mega Man character in Ralph's bunny suit.

Please tell me someone is doing a Dradal Man Top edit.

Didn't someone do that for the 2010 Holiday Expansion?
EDIT:  Apparently not.  I'm pretty sure it was at least mentioned then.  Yeah, someone should do it.


As for the poll, yes, I think skins should be strictly Mega Man related.  That way, it's dressing MM8BDM up for the holidays, not dressing random characters up and throwing them in.

Oh God, isn't that the one that has Zero's theme playing in every single level?

In other news, I've been replaying DKC3 this weekend and as is customary with every single game I go back and replay, whether it be on an emulator or in real life, I ran into a weird glitch.  In the not-so-final fight against K Roolenstein, after the cutscene between KAOS and K. Rool, the background and environment sprites glitched and failed to move while some background details, the characters, and the other objects did.  I ended up dying since it was too hard to tell exactly where I was in the arena, but in this picture, I'm actually all of the way to the right and bumping against the collision box for the electricity generator.  Those look like debug-coordinates at the bottom in black, but I don't know.  I died and reentered and it was fine again.  I think it was because I hit right at the exact moment the cutscene would have ended and it freaked out or something.

Speaking of fan trailers...
YOU SHOULD, UH... MAKE THAT OFFICIAL TRAILER.
AFTER ALL, THIS IS ALMOST DONE RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Mike wants footage of online fights for the trailer so once we've got the last few bits of the puzzle done and we can find a time in which there's enough of the dev team online at once, we'll film stuff.

Or at least, that was the plan last time I checked <_<

@Galactan

That's because (unless you're older than I think) it was louder talk that was around the internet JUST after Sonic Heroes was released.  The whole point being people like me who grew up with the Genesis/Dreamcast games were getting further and further from playing a Sonic game to a Sonic and friends game.  I mean, he went from having the whole game (Sonic 1) to most of the game (Sonic 2 since there's Sonic only and Sonic and Tails modes) to half of the game (Sonic 3/Knuckles) to a good chunk of the game (Sonic Adventure since his story was significantly longer than the rest) to 1/6th of the game (Sonic Adventure 2) to a measly 1/9th of the game (Sonic Heroes).  Personally, I prefer to just have Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles as the playable characters (or maybe Blaze in place of Knuckles since she has a glide too among other things) as long as they make Tails and Knuckles not have stupid gimmicky crap like mechs, guns, auto-forward running (unless it's for brief side-step sections) and Emerald hunting.  The rest of the characters...or at least, most of the characters...should stay in supporting roles.  Silver, Shadow, Rouge, and Omega really don't have a purpose now that the series has returned more to its more colorful and less downtrodden themes.

He's not a part of the development team so it's a fan trailer.  Keep that in mind.

Really, just try making it not just another snow map (and red and green tiles don't count as helping much).  Pretty well anything Christmas/Other Holiday oriented will help:  Christmas trees, wreaths, toys, presents, sleighs, lights, pretty well anything that says "holidays", not just winter.  If you're going to have custom actors, consider making flying robot reindeer or Met elves or something.  Of course, I'd steer clear of too many religious objects out of the risk of offending people which is why I didn't list a Manorah or cross or anything.

What's sad is, without downloading yet, my immediate thought was "Not Christmasy/Holiday-y enough" before I ever thought "is that the whole map?"

Personally, I blame the whole multiple forms of Sonic thing on the fanbase.  For years and years and yeeeears starting with Heroes' release, all I heard was "WE JUST WANT SONIC, WE ONLY WANT SONIC, WHY CAN'T WE GET JUST SONIC?  ALL WE WANT IS TO PLAY AS SONIC!"  So they finally did that and what's the first thing these same people said?  "WHERE'S TAILS?  WHY ARE WE ONLY PLAYING AS SONIC?  WHY DID YOU ABANDON THE OTHER CHARACTERS?"

So yeah, they got what they wanted and complained which is why Sonic has gone through a "drop all other playable characters" phase.

What?  Kid isn't gender specific.  Besides, it's a collectathon game.  That alone is worth it.

Everybody, go support "A Hat in Time"!  It's a game with the visual style of the Wind Waker but with the gameplay of Banjo-Kazooie/DK64/Mario 64.  You know, the collection platformers!

You play as Hat Kid, an adorable girl with a hat who travels through time to defeat the evil Mustache Girl.

Actually, v0 sounds like a terrible idea to me.  There's no point in having custom weapons if there's no maps with them on it and it only diminishes the significance of the final product.

This sounds like something that would be better suited for a blog, not a forum.
