RMM Bosses suggestion thread

[O Ilusionista]

==================| BOSSES SUGGESTIONS | ==================

I decided to open a topic exclusively for tips for bosses that can be converted to the Robot Master Mayhem project, so we do not mix with other characters. Personally, I really LOVE programming boss-type characters because I have more freedom to create, require less work and time (I've already been able to do such a character in 1 hour only) and it's funny.



===| HOW IT WILL WORK? |===

• Unless another programmer shows interest in programming, I'll be responsible for the boss's programming.
  
  
  
• Not all ideas will be converted. It depends a lot on my free time (which is scarce).
  
  
  
• The main focus is the classic series, but suggestions from other series will be accepted
  
  
  
• Ideas will be evaluated following the criteria of: Possibility of conversion (not everything that works in the original game, works on this project), Difficulty, Uniqueness (what the boss could bring different from the project) and Creativity.
  
  
  
• Here, the concept of "boss" are non-controllable characters, usually large on the screen, that we face in the final stages of the games. Then, characters such as "Robot Masters / Reploids, etc. that can be controlled are deleted. Sub-bosses may be accepted.
  
  
  
• The final word on whether or not the character enters the project is from Laspacho, since he is the leader of the project. But I intend to use the RMM template, them the conversion to the project becomes easier, so if the character is not accepted for the project, I can still program it as a separate character for Mugen.
  
  

===| WHICH BOSSES DO WE ALREADY HAVE? |===

- Yellow Devil (Magma and O Ilusionista)
- Metool Daddy (Ramza and O Ilusionista)
- Dr. Wily (Daeron and NDSilva)
- Metonger Z (Magma and O Ilusionista)
- Others we can not reveal right now

So throw your ideas to us It would be better if you can say from which game it is and post a picture of it

My suggestions:

Hanmuru Doll (Legends 1)

Dogu the Giant (ZX Advent)

Golems F, E, and I (Zero 2)

CROROQ (The Robots Are Revolting)

Plesio Surf (Star Force 2)

 

[O Ilusionista]

Thanks.

 

[Bloodbane]

I suggest Darkman aka Fake Protoman from Megaman 5.

 

[O Ilusionista]

Darkman will be a playable character

 

[Uche]

This may be out there, but why do you think about Rainbow Devil from Mega Man Zero?

 

[Miru]

This may be out there, but why do you think about Rainbow Devil from Mega Man Zero?

I think he’s small enough to be a player character.

Also;

Guard Orotic (Zero 1)

 

[O Ilusionista]

This may be out there, but why do you think about Rainbow Devil from Mega Man Zero?

You mean this one?

He is too small.

 

[Miru]

Nebula Gray (Battle Network 5)

Life Virus (Battle Network 1, Network Transmission)

Geselleschaft (Legends 1)

General (X4)

Le Mu (Star Force 2)

King Gojulus (7)

Totemer (11)

Mechazaurus (6)

And for the final boss... Dr. Weil:

He'd have multiple forms, ala Onslaught

He's easily the most evil character ever seen in the franchise, and his battle was the end of over 400 years of increasingly violent warfare. He would be a PERFECT final boss.

 

[O Ilusionista]

Mechazaurus is on my plans

Some of these artworks are really stuning

 

[Miru]

Dark Moon (V Gameboy)

Andromeda (Star Force)

Crimson Dragon (Star Force 3)

Cossack Catcher (4)

Luna (Strategy)

(Maybe if Apollo gets in he could be a team partner for him. Not sure how big he's supposed to be, but he's shaped like a crescent moon and has no limbs)

Frost Man (8)

(the only other Robot Master that would be large enough to end up as a boss instead of playable)

Cybeast Gregar (Battle Network 6)

 

[O Ilusionista]

Hum, Luna looks cool.

I was watching some Mega Man videos yesterday and I found something which could fit the game: Shadow Devil
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ-vJ12nEwc
https://megaman.fandom.com/wiki/Shadow_Devil

If we are going to have X and Zero in the game on the future, we could put him too.
There are rips from him at Sprites INC

But I had one idea: we could re-use Yellow Devil main sprites, changing to dark grey and only using some extra sprites, like his eyes (which is a separated entity), and some blobs. Since he doesn't walk, it won't require too much work - its more a matter of removing the eye from Yellow Devil sprites. Even the Willy Machine are already there.

For that fight, I would disale the time limit, because it can last forever in some cases.

What do you guys think about it?

 

[Miru]

I say it would work. Maybe have it summon Green Devil?

 

[Bloodbane]

As long Shadow Devil has different attack set and pattern than Yellow Devil, it could work
