I disagree with Musashi but that's entirely because of his wording

"plain" or "simplistic" would be good ways to go with the new base skin design
but it shouldn't be "boring-looking"

I mean you should still want to look at it sometimes
don't make it completely unappealing or anything

This is still a Mega Man game, having a little nod to another series in the Mega Man franchise isn't out of place.

technically we've already done it

X teleporting in when you clear the MM6 chapter, for starters

Why change what's currently in-place? MM8BDM has always paid heed to staying loyal to the classic series (when at all possible) and as such Megaman seems like the logical choice for "main character", especially versus what, as far as I can tell, is an original character.

I'd rather Megaman still be the default skin, since it feels like your playing the main character and not a generic NPC looking dude.

yeah sure alright but here's why you're wrong


Throughout the entire game, it's made painfully clear that the main character is not Mega Man, that Mega Man is off doing his own thing somewhere and you're just some tournament robot who keeps getting lucky. Then when the MM&B chapter finally rolls around, you get to partner up with the legendary Blue Bomber himself, alongside the unexpected ally Bass. It makes perfect sense to have a generic-looking design for the tournament robot, to strengthen the game's storyline as well as to give 8-Bit Deathmatch more personality as a game. This living, breathing behemoth of a project has been steadily growing and evolving for over five years, and it's about due time that the game got a little more extra flavor as its own thing.

Following up on that, I'm also in full agreement with the addition of the male and female skins as well. It would be wonderful to see some more diversity in online games, and also help restore the Blue Bomber to his former glory instead of the current "oh great another Mega Man" feeling.

I still think a silent charging 65 damage explosion on a relatively fast charge time is stupid, no matter how you slice it


Hard Knuckle requires a direct hit, as does Noise Crush (which DOES make a charge sound)
Drill Bomb travels slower and is at least a three-hit kill under normal circumstances

Except your example is flawed, Thunder Bolt is one of the faster projectiles in the game (but let's be nice and call it "medium" speed) and Silver Tomahawk is practically a railgun. No seriously, you can visibly land hits before the sprite actually connects with the target. There's also the issue of the sprite dying on a floor or wall, but the projectile registering a hit regardless... actually I'd like to go over all the problems with Silver Tomahawk, but that's a topic for another time.

An impending wall of death is much different than a projectile moving at average speed. Even current Search Snake moves slower than average. And with your "home once" suggestion, Search Snake completely loses its current niche of terrain control or surprise ambush attacks, and instead becomes an inferior grounded version of the upcoming Hornet Chaser.

hi things happened while I was gone at work and unable to defend myself

So this mafia was kinda good and kinda bad. Most of you think it was more of the "kinda bad" end of things, and though I disagree, I can understand your point of view. Things weren't sorted well (Gallade and Poochyena should've outright switched places, for starters) and things weren't planned entirely (like the inability for Offense or Jamming to do anything if a bunch of Supports died in a row) but it was a new idea. New ideas tend to be a little weak when they first start. Look at Super Mario Brothers, or Mega Man Battle Network. Their first games sucked, but look at where they got. They learned from their mistakes, improved on the formula, and grew towards the future. I'd like to think we all did a little growing over the past two weeks, and I don't mean in a sexual way.

So yeah. If you expected vanilla then you should've called State Farm. I'm sort of the gimmick king. Everything I touch dies has a crappy gimmick somewhere. Some of it's fun, some of it... not so much. Thanks for playing and even putting up with it in the first place, and if you had fun, then cool beans.


Though, there's one quote in particular that's fitting whether you liked the game or not...

What a clusterfuck

I couldn't agree more.

Honestly I'd prefer if the snakes moved slower instead of faster. Currently the best thing to do with core Search Snake is to stack up a bunch of 'em like a charging wall of tiny snake-like terror, and watch them climb over terrain to swarm a dude. If they were sped up, they would be easier to jump over since the group of snakes has less effective time spent passing underneath the target. However, if you slow the snakes down, they linger for that much longer, which not only makes them harder to dodge, but also allows the snakes to serve as a sort of poor man's terrain control, helping you lock down foes to land shots with other weapons. Ice Wall already moves really quickly, and is generally a decent weapon even at close range, so making Search Snake into a "pressure" weapon (slowing the projectile, allowing the user to freely aim) would help separate the two even further.

Might not be the change you're looking for, but I'd say it's at least worth testing out.

"Hrmmm..."

Audino pats at her cheeks, pouting. She stares at her reflection in the mirror, unable to sleep.

"My skin's turning pink... I don't like it."

Audino looks over at the makeshift beds behind her. Several injured Pokémon, laid out on mats, all in varying states of unconsciousness or general discomfort. Rotom's limbs were slightly smaller. Poochyena's hair grew longer, some of it on its face. Thin, clear wings spread from Vespiquen's back.

"Is this what that girl was talking about... ?" Audino frowned. "Something about our forms... and power."

She stepped outside of her tent, looking over toward the houses in the village.

"Whatever it is, there's not much time. If things don't change soon... then we'll be the ones changing. And as much as I like the... wait, is... is that a comet?"

Audino watched as the only thing worse than a giant meteor crushing a Pokémon in their sleep happened before her very eyes.

Two giant meteors came crashing down.

Who likes double donk?


Max was knocked out!
Beed28 was destroyed by Draco Meteor!

(click to show/hide)

Lopunny (Offense-Type)
Played by: Maxine

Attack: Return (20+)
Deals 20 damage, plus 10 more damage if ????? is in the game.

: Kick Back (10) (Day)
Using this ability replaces your daily Attack; you still post in the topic to declare your target, like your regular Attack. Deals 10 damage, and if Lopunny successfully damaged the target, that Pokemon will be unable to use any abilities during the following Night Phase.

Passive: Synchro Beat
Whenever Lopunny or ????? are targeted by abilities (even if the ability fails), both Lopunny and ????? will be alerted to that Pokemon's Type. This ability is active only while ????? is in the game.

Altaria (Support-Type)
Played by: Beed28

Attack: Facade (10+)
If Altaria was disabled during the last Night Phase, or is disabled during the current Day Phase, this attack deals 30 more damage.

: Relic Song (Night)
Select one eliminated player. That player will be revived and brought back into play before the start of the next Day Phase, as a different Pokemon.

Passive: Team Roost
At the end of each Day Phase, total damage taken is reduced by 50 as long as ????? is in the game.

All Pokémon gained one Red Gem and one Green Gem.



TURN 7 ~ DAY PHASE

Alright fellas, here's the skinny.
Kill a baddie. Or the mafia wins.

And so they killed Hilman.


Hilman took 70 damage... and was knocked out!

(click to show/hide)

Duskull (Jamming-Type)
Played by: Hilman170499

Attack: Astonish (10+)
Deals 10 damage. If Duskull has a Blue Gem and attacks a mafia Pokemon, that Gem is consumed, and if the target was damaged, that Pokemon will be unable to use any abilities during the Night Phase.

Passive: Blend In
If scanned while ????? is still in the game, Duskull will appear to be of the same affiliation as the other Pokemon (town if scanned by town, etc).

All Pokémon gained one Blue Gem.



TURN 6 ~ NIGHT PHASE

If nothing happens soon... this might be the end.
Pull it together! Sniff out the mafia! You can do it!
