Use this thread for any and all game-related suggestions that you may have. If you believe the topic or suggestion is large enough to warrant it's own thread, you are free to do so at your own discretion.
That being said, this thread is really anything-goes in relation to how the game flows and functions, how the turns work, the features/mechanics that are available, etc. and I welcome any and all comments and/or criticisms you may have.
Please, let me and all the rest of us know what's on your mind - what could make the game better? What new ideas do you think would fit in with the existing framework and what mechanics needs to go? Tell me!
@shrek ogre I don't think Shrek would be in the game. The main robots haven't even been finished yet, Shrek doesn't really have a role here, and I don't think they have 8-bit Shrek sprites out there.
Some time ago, Adrian said that he wanted the secondary abilities to be dual type (or something along those lines). Here are some suggestions:
Rising Cutter: Primary Type: Cutter Secondary Type: Earth/Shadow Reasoning: The Rising Cutter seems to come strait out of the ground (Earth). The shadow part comes from it coming from the shadows.
Danger Bomb: Primary Type: Explode Secondary Type: Flame Reasoning: The Bomb has recoil which is what Fire Type Pokemon in the TCG are known for (I know it's not that good, but it might work for a dual type ability).
Time Slow: Primary Type: Time Secondary Type: Space Reasoning: Time and Space are sometimes judged as similar matter (heck, the MMKB has Time and Space robots in the same category: Spacetime).

The ability to search all the players on the leader board, and attack them. I WANT REVENGE! Also, if people attack you, a place to see who attacked you to get the ability for sweet revenge would be AWESOME!
Metal Man-Switches the room so faster robots are slower then slow robots.
Heat Man-What Spinstrike said about Atomic Tackle.
Wood Man- Has leaves fall from the ceiling while Wood Man falls near the opponent to stun them for a turn. The leaves strike multiple times for damage.
Air Man-Charges for a turn to make a junk tornado, which is wind and impact
Crash Man- Blows up part of the field, landing on the opponent(changes to type of field)
Flash Man-Freezes time and shoots multiple buster shots, hitting the opponent 7 times (if hits)
Quick Man-Charges at the opponent, acting much like Quick attack from Pokemon.
Why not add more Robot Masters? I'd say set a maximum limit of 30 (2 support bots and 8 Robot Masters for each doctor if you balance it out), but we should be able to have some variety among our bots. After all, a large number of my favorites are from the later Mega Man games.
@KingYamato All of the Robot Masters and Star Droids will be in the game and usable in battle. In Bonus Field II you have a chance at fighting some of the unfinished robot masters (including the full cast of 5 and 3) and can acquire the weapons of the Robots from 3 via copy shot. The Robots from 3,5,6,7, and 9 will be released in the next two expansions. Adrian had a image of his little notepad where he keeps his ideas about the chapters and what players fight what Robot Masters somewhere on the forums.
In Final Destination III, you fight the so-called "Powered Up Copies" of the Robot Masters. However, the only thing "Powered Up" about them are their levels. I'm not asking to give them new stats, signature attacks, etc. Maybe in the future (or someday) you can make it so that the Robot Masters are similar to the Copy Core robots in Final Destination II (dark aura).
With all the charged weapons and status attacks there are and will be, I think a drop-down menu showing temporary effects and their durations would help see which Busters are charged and how long your Robot Master is unable to switch.

What about Special Dialogue? As in......
Proto Man to Mega Man Start: "Let's see which of us father made stronger! " Victory: "Your trust is holding you back from defeating me...." Defeat: "Maybe you are the superior model, Mega Man..."
Mega Man to Proto Man Start: "Proto Man, what are you doing?!" Victory: "I really didn't want to do that to you....." Defeat: "You did really good, Proto Man....."

Crash Bomb is a really weird weapon...whenever I use it, it barely does any damage, yet whenever I go against the AI and it uses the move, the move almost always destroys my robot, even if the Explode modifier is normal. So I looked around to see if there are any stages that I could play on to reduce the effect of the move...and no stage exists that puts the Explode modifier below x1.0. I think this is the only element in the game that stages do not set any unfavorable modifiers for Explode. Think this can be changed in the future (and also maybe try to make the damage more consistent between the player and the AI, or else clue me in on how to make the move stronger when I use it (I let it go off on its own, but it barely does any damage...))?
The only way I've found to make Crash Bomber better is to increase the multiplier on the field. It's main use is picking off high-defense enemies, I think, but that seems a bit wasting of Crash Man's Attack stat.

Just a suggestion, since a new text box scrolls onto the feed every time an attack is made or a robot takes a hit, why not add attack/hit quotes for robots? I'm not talking just one here either; I'm talking the multiple responses you get like in MM8 boss battles. Shouldn't be too hard to create an RNG that would just pick one, though it might slow down battles since there's more to load per action. Technical obstacles aside though, combat-related voice responses were one of the few things I think MM8 got right, and I see a lot of potential for it to be used here. Even if there aren't responses for each attack or hit a robot takes, I think that when some sort of passive ability (beneficial and detrimental passives would have different responses obviously) like Atomic Fire's attack increase or Bubble Spray's increased vulnerability to Electric-based attacks (respectively) is cast on a robot or they're given an item (mostly thinking of when given an extra life) they should at least have a response for those kind of things, even if there is only one. For some examples of what I'm suggesting, look at my last post in the Make-A-Moveset thread. Another option would be to script a certain voice response to every move (for example, "You're fried!" would always be scripted to the Thunder Beam if implemented).@TailsMK4Crash Bomber deals damage as a percentage of a target robot's health. Thus because your robots probably have more hit points than the enemy's they take more severe damage (10% of 800hp is 80 while 10% of 40hp is 4).
