I noticed in the end instead of saying "To be continued" or "see you in V6-7"...it just said "THE END". Holy hell...does that mean this game is truly complete? Like, this is the conclusion? Because if so...bravo!

[@GmNdWtchr96]

There'll likely be a MM11 themed chapter as somewhat of an epilogue. It likely won't be on as grand a scale as v6 and won't happen for a little, but I wouldn't turn down more 8BDM content.

[@ssdrasistfs]

One way it could work is the plot can be modified slightly around Mega Man 7 since there's not much happening there. Maybe place Mega Man 11 after 7, and for 7 the reason why Wily is doing shenanigans there is that he's actually already recreating the Double Gear system. After this, it's the mm11 chapter. Then, his plans "faild" again this time, since Maestro managed to steal or recover the Double Gear system. From there double gear will be available for whole world and in turn usable by the player from there on. Wily, being as persistent as ever, plots to have a comeback after the evil robot crash lands and uses the evil energy. Maestro will have the double gear system up until Mega Man 10, and it can be chalked up to Roboenza breaking it. It can be a partial reason on why Roboenza makes their hosts do unusual shit; exploiting the double gear system. Maestro or the player should be able to get it back at the end of the final chapter though, repaired by the justice energy or Dr. Cossack. This is just one of the ways to put in Mega Man 11 without it feeling like an epilogue or a filler, though it will be up to the devs if they would like to change the chapters for a bit. And there's also another good way to put Mega Man 11 in somewhere.

[@ssdrasistfs]

The other way would be placing Mega Man 11 after MM&B and making the genesis unit appear later. Instead of confronting King and making him turn around he retreats. While retreating, "someone" gives them a helping hand and gives them the double gear system. The war goes on and Wily's mm11 robots will have to be stopped as well. At the end of it all the Maestro finally faces King and turns him around for good. Then the genesis unit arrives and ruins everything as usual. Double gear can be probably outlawed after the Wily Wars chapter or be put into proper use for the player and anyone afterwards.

And suddenly you filled yourself with good (justice) energy, The direct opposite of Eclipse's evil energy and powers the supposed destroyed Gamma Mk2 back up. Totally can imagine all the Robot Masters and the humans back at the base going full cheerleader mode, crying tears of joy, yelling all sorts of encouragements (most if not all of them are telling you to give Eclipse a massive beat down) or just flat out impressed or astonished while you stood up again and go Star Platinum on the Eclipse and send him all the way to the Sun.

[@TheWillikids]

Dude, you have my respect.

[@clockstopper3791]

There's only one major issue with these lyrics, and it's not whether or not they're cringe. For something like a musical adaptation of For Everlasting Peace, you'd *also* need to first adapt the Evil Robot's theme, as well as Thy World Consumed. Since TWC is essentially a remix of the Evil Robot's theme, and it plays in the background of this track, so you'd probably have a clashing vocals segment a la Hopes And Dreams/Save The World. That said, given the use of leitmotifs in 8BDM's OST, it could work really well if done right. TBH if you want, you should try to pitch the idea to Man On The Internet, he's adapted a bunch of different tracks and OSTs, so it's not unthinkable that he might take up 8BDM if someone brought it up to him.

[@inkboi215]

This music thy world consumed feels hopeless because maestro feels terror. He knows he can’t kill eclipse because of his fear. But as the ominous red sky fades to blue, the mortally injured machine staggers to his feet and despite his agony he’s no longer Afraid because he realizes the only way to defeat eclipse is at the cost of his life. He fights the way a doomed animal does. Using his body as a bartering ram. Both eclipse and maestro die horribly as he ignores his burning agony and flies the contorting abomination into the sun. And though maestro ejects before impact he still slowly burns alive. A true hero and his torturous sacrifice reminds me of the sacrifice of someone who came hundreds of years after.

This honestly gave me the same level of hype as the Super Sonic themes in Sonic games. Hell, this _could_ be seen as a Super Theme; you definitely feel powerful and unstoppable, complete with sparkles!

Hearing this song and it remonding me how epic the V6 ending was makes me shake of excitement so much

[@professortrickroom3777]

This moment reminds me of climactic final blows in the Kirby series from Triple Deluxe and onward. There seems to be no way out at first, but then something happens that puts the odds in your favour. Oh, also anime.

*_Say hi to the Metal Virus for me, Trio._*

[@flurreo]

metal virus? pft, like that's *anything* compared to roboenza, just from the evil robot possessing one single machine directly, instead of through evil energy/roboenza, it was capable of infesting the entire wily star, does the Metal Virus have anything to hold up to that? and no, i'm not saying idw is bad or whatever, i'm just saying it just makes no sense acting like it's more powerful that roboenza and evil energy,

[@train4292]

We’ve peaked. I dunno if they’re gonna make a MegaMan 11 chapter. But dang if they do, i doubt it would top THIS bro. How much more can you do after a battle against a corrupted Death Star rip-off with the grand finisher sending him to the FREAKING SUN? WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO???

[@flurreo]

what i'd say is not try to top it, and instead just continue the story, there's no point trying to go even higher, otherwise it's just make the story feel like DB, with constantly more powerful stuff, instead of a more meaningful and good story,

[@priestchase9341]

This was my way of how I'd be like in the scene and fight, along with the ending! I even created my own kind of dialogue for it all too, so hope everyone will enjoy my take on this: Duo: Why did you continue to fight? Were you simply following your design? Me: ...? Duo: Or are you more than just a machine? Me: Duo...? Duo: The power within you... it has not given. You chose to wield it, to be their hero. Me: ...! Duo: Your friends... your foes... they all look to you for hope now. Their fates are now within your own hands... but your body is broken... your weapons destroyed... Me: *looks down at my own body* They might be destroyed... but is this really gonna stop me... from becoming a world savior...... just being a broken down machine......!? Duo: Are you really bound by your limitations? Me: ...... No..... I won't be... taken down......... so easily...!! Duo: Or will you continue to fight? Me: ... I... I will not... I will NOT GIVE UP YET!!! *screams with all wrath and rage while becoming empowered with justice and light* Duo: Now go! Destroy the evil! End this war! And save the universe! Me: Duo...... thank you! I will! And I'll do it... FOR ALL OF YOU!!! YOU... YOU DIE HERE AND NOW!!! Trio: *roars* When the final blow strikes Me: Time to end this, for the greater good of the world!! *starts ascending* Me: SO LONG FOREVER, YOU CURSED BLOB OF HELL!!! Eject mode, enable!! CPU: Eject mode enabled. When I eject Me: *watches Gamma and Trio get destroyed by the sun* I... I did... i-it... I saved... ev-everything... *inhale* But I-I'm too... far from e-earth......... *shreds a tear* I'm...... sorry...... ever.....y............ When Sunstar suddenly swoops in to catch me Sunstar: You... you have done well. With the last bit of my strength... I will return you to your home. Me: ......... When we get back to the surface Sunstar: *puts me down softly* May you live to fight another day... for justice...... *fades away* When Dr. Wily brings me back to Light's lab Me: ...... U...... Ungh...... Dr.Light: Ah, good! You're awake! Me: L-Light...? What happened...? How did I...? Dr.Light: I didn't know either at first, but it seems like Wily has dropped you off in the backyard, and saved you. But he also had this letter with you when he left, and I was hoping he'd finally change, but it seems my old friend will never see things my way... Me: Wait, YOUR way...? Dr.LIght: To make humans and robots live in peace and co-exist... oh Albert... it seems we are at edges with each other......! Me: I wouldn't worry, Light... Wily never really learns much anyway... he'll just keep doing this over and over again, and the only thing we have as a way to help him come to his senses is to just fight... I know it's kinda hard to deal with such tragedy, but it's the only thing we can do... to bring justice into the world... Dr.Light: It is most unfortunate, but I suppose you're right... Mega Man: Hey! Me: Mega... Mega Man: You did so much to save the world from destruction... and I just want to say that you really have earned your reputation as not only a hero, but a world savior. Me: ... Thanks... but honestly, I don't think it was just me that saved the world... Dr.Light: Oh? Me: We all worked on Gamma, and we did it cause of the crisis we were in, and we all worked as 1 to make it possible to save the world. So, I think almost all of us were the real heroes, and mostly Wily... he's pretty much a 25er kinda guy, but at least he was able to help...! Dr.Light: Indeed... I just hope that one day, Albert will finally see through his crimes and finally comes to his senses and work for justice and hope. Me: I'm sure he will...! *proto man whistle tunes* Proto Man: Hey. You did well in the fight for the world. I have a bit of a message from Dr. Cossack and King for you. Me: Oh really? What'd they say? Proto Man: They both said that they were more than grateful for your efforts of protecting the world from evil, and they are already working on a new project that will make a great change to the world. And they also said, "thank you." Me: ... Amazing...! I must've changed so many peoples lives when I saved the world, haven't I...? Bass: Hey... Me: Bass... lemme guess, you're wanting to fight Mega again...? Bass: ... Ya know what...? He's just too weak right now, so I'll just let him go for now, but I just wanted to say that you didn't do all that bad... But the next time we meet though, you'd better be prepped up for when we fight next time. Got that? Me: Heh... usual talk from ya, but thanks! And I'm so gonna make sure that I'm prepped! Dr.Light: It looks like Mr.X just announced a new special tournament for the highest ranked champions from all over the world! Mega Man: You ready for it, Proto Man? Proto Man: I'm just gonna spectate. What about you, Bass? Bass: Tch, I got better things I want to do, but I suspect that he'll join in though...! Me: I'm always ready for a new challenge! Let's go, Mega Man!! Mega Man: Alright! Hopefully I'll be able to see your full strength in this tournament! Me: Right on! Dr.Light: Good luck to you 2! Both of us teleport to the tournament arena Me and Mega Man: Let's go!! *jumps high and busters ready* This was just my way of doing the scenes and ending, if it had some extra bits in it, along with what I'd probably do, since Maestro is literally you, so I hope everyone enjoyed reading my way of the fight and ending, and live life, like a MEGA LEGEND!! 😁👍

[@julioaramayo1304]

Man this game means so much for me. Classic Mega already means a lot to me, but this (more than) fan game really is important... and I just finished it today. I first downloaded it 4 or 3 years a go when I was like 10 or 11. I first was so into it, maybe not always directly interacting with mods or the sub community or viewing videos, but I got very immersed and into it. But my skills sucked then. But I kept playing. Some times I left the game for months cause other one caught my attention or for any reason past me had... eventually I grew up and changed personality and many personal things happened and I also improved my gaming skills (thought I must admit most fights still were challenging, but not nearly impossible... maybe except for the final 3 fights aka Ra Moon, Sunstar, and Eclipse, but I might improve more by that). This game accompained me for years and while developing, and at the best times: Chapter 1-6: When I was still younger whenever at my 11-first weeks as 12, quite basic but amazing nonetheless and fun, just when the story is still quite tame but interesting in its own way and the gameplay doesn't have new mechanics. Chapter 7-8: around when I was at my last days of 12 or when I was at my middle or early 13. I was slightly more thinking and had some few troubles to learn from but still mostly fun and nice, when the game tries to keep the first chapter's vibe but tries to get more serious and has a slightly different feel... no big gameplay changes yet, also not struggling as much with basic stages but still a lot with bosses. Chapter 9-10: Late 13 for chapter 9 but chapter 10 definetely by when I was at my early 14. Some (kind of as I only tried them rarely on skirmish for fun and I never played online) new mechanics like teams and relatively harder boss fights (relatively cause Bass is as hard as this later fights) and a slightly different tone in story. Chapters 11-13 and Finale: Middle-late 14 and finished in my first weeks of 15. The gameplay starts mostly normal with chapter 11 but new mechanics start appearing since chapter 12 onward. The story is more different, not sure how to describe it, serious? dark? But definetely different but not in a bad way. My gameplay improved a lot but still presented some challenges. I had many probkems and thoughts far more complex than ever but also new friends and stuff, also coming a bit back to real life and many other stuff happening. [EDIT: Maybe I got this part a bit too personal and barely any accurate or descriptive, and maybe too corny (cursi in my language, unsure if corny has the same meaning), but I got too excited... and it's 12PM as of writing this.] Truly, this game accompanied me for long and it has a special spot in my heart and mind. I will soon do the Boss Rush... but at the same time I don't want it to end, but not to continue after such a great finale. Thank you, team MM8BDM for everything.

Fun fact, the bit at 1:40-1:45 is from the Evil Robot's theme (you can hear it at 0:29-0:34 in that track), but I'm pretty sure it's shifted to major key. This neatly reflects the minor-key snippet of the game's main theme featured in Thy World Consumed, and helps to illustrate how For Everlasting Peace represents the "Mega Man" side of this game where Thy World Consumed represents the "Doom" side.

this was honestly one of the most intensely epic boss fights of my life. going as not just myself, but piloting an improved version of Gamma. It's late, it was past 2 AM, but I knew I had to push through, for this one last hurrah. I fought with everything I had and it did take me a few tries. When the second phase started, I knew shit got real. The rush flew through me and I could feel my heartbeat as my body tensed with excitement. And then, with my fist of justice, with the hopes of everyone watching, using the power of everlasting peace, I smashed the son of a bitch into the fucking sun! Holy shit. They cannot top that. They just can't. THIS is the peak of the story and even if they decide to do a MM11 campaign, NOTHING could possibly top something as exciting as this. But... I might get proven wrong. We'll just have to wait and see...

[@dumblittleidiot1301]

Maybe the MM11 one could be a bit of an epilogue, kind of like the MM7 chapter?

[@ianthehedgehog9327]

...there is ONE way they can top that. And that is to add characters from different game franchises (Sonic, Pac-man, Mario, etc.) and go beyond the original plan for Mega Man 8 Bit Deathmatch: a battle between the Classic Mega Man characters.

[@flurreo]

@@ianthehedgehog9327 no, that is one of the stupidest things i've ever heard it turns it from a megaman thing into a boring crossover, a mod that adds a chapter based off of worlds collide would be fun, but forcing that all into the story of the vanilla 8bdm? nah, that does not work at all.
