Mega Man Battle Network 3 - Bass GS!

[@yujirohamna2430]

Bass truly is the most tragic Navi in the series

[@Echidnai]

I thought that it was Colonel.

[@yujirohamna2430]

@@Echidnai not really. His role was very much similar to his X counterpart. But Bass and Cossack's relationship was very much like a true father and son dynamic. It was Scilab's mistrust in the two that lead to Bass' warped perspective on human and Navi relationships. And after this game he would go on to be completely consumed by the dark power to the point of no return. Atleast Colonel died fighting for what he believed in. His death would also help kindle the emotion in Wily which actually changed him for the better.

[@Gazing-09]

@@yujirohamna2430 I agree. I'm not quite sure myself if Bass did forgive Cosack (I imagine that he kinda did at some level, but sadly, Cosack is said to have lost his memory at the end of the game...)

[@yujirohamna2430]

@@Gazing-09 bass doesn't even remember who Cossack was at this point in the story. And by MegaMan Battle Network 4 Bass was completely corrupted by dark power and if you talk to the guardians of the Evil chips, Bass' soul was completely overtaken by darkness. Cossack is fine, he just thought Bass was destroyed and never thought to look for him any further.

[@yujirohamna6121]

@@Gazing-09 so there was a final manga chapter where bass does hold Cossack 's hand in his death bed

[@callmehanson9466]

I remember playing this game blind as an 8 year old after beating the newer Battle Network games and audibly going, "Oh shit." Once I saw Bass approach. He is 100% more difficult to manage in the older Battle Networks with the recharging shields he has.

[@TheFatestPat]

It's too bad the old developers left this on a cliffhanger. It sounds like they would have expanded Bass' role in the sequels, perhaps as a reborn anti-villain.

[@rogue1248]

But here's the thing he lost his memories and subsequently his desire for revenge. And cuz of that he ended up just becoming a megalomaniac after going back a clean slate.

[@TheFatestPat]

@@rogue1248 Yeah that is pretty boring.

[@nintenzard3192]

Bass is the Mewtwo for Megaman... i like this guy

[@kingsleycheung6540]

JUST LIKE POKEMON MEWTWO CHARIZED FOR

[@spadez808]

The best Bass battle is in this game right here!! From 4-6 he was a pushover.

[@yujirohamna2430]

Bass BX was more of a challenge because his buster didn't cause you to flinch and did this kind of damage lol.

[@BeanWagon90]

Yeah, some of the harder versions of bass in 4-6 were just as hard as bass here if not harder. Especially bass XX in 5 who has 4000 hp life aura AND is aggressive as hell

[@Ender41948]

I mean, Bass BX's buster is literally undodgeable and requires either defensive chips, invis, or flinching him to not get hurt. Calling Bass BX a pushover is kind of not really true.

[@suckapunch565]

Bass XX in BN4 was no pushover. Lol

[@lamarpray5324]

Bass used solar flare and dipped after suffering a L

[@nerothewateruser8030]

So Bass still remembers Dr. Cossak?

[@EnvisionerWill]

It's unclear whether this entity is the real Bass, or one of the copies formed from BugFusion. The fact that he emerges from the BugFrag trader and uses the Multi-Bug Organism's head as a weapon seems to indicate that this MBO itself, the boss of MMBN2, who appeared in the form of Bass first and then turned into the giant wolf shape (reminiscent of Gregar from game 6) when MegaMan defeated his Bass form. The real Bass tried to exterminate all of the copies of himself that Gospel created, but it's possible this one was able to survive by disguising itself as bugs and spreading all over the Internet, patiently waiting for some dumb kid to bring enough of those pieces back together that it could reform.

[@spazerabanekozeroshki]

@@EnvisionerWill highly unlikely as we saw in the ending of MMBN 2 the original sought out to destroy every last fake one

[@Gazing-09]

@@spazerabanekozeroshki That and back then, True Bass actually managed to absorb Gospel into him. Speaking of which : Gospel isn't seen in MBN6... Did the absorption of a Cybeast (Which are stated to be M.B.O perfected - which I kinda doubt since I learned about the existence of the Bugrizer) overread Gospel from Bass?

[@spazerabanekozeroshki]

@@Gazing-09 actually gospel is seen in battle network 6 through a program advance though and in my opinion it didn't because the power that bass absorbed is cybeast falzar not gregar

[@yujirohamna2430]

@@EnvisionerWill it's the real Bass. The ending of the main game showed that Bass survived nearly being destroyed by alpha. And the multi bug organism merely fused with him. Also none of the clones where able to duplicate the get "ability program" which was why Wily ended up contacting Bass in the first place.

[@EnvisionerWill]

Man, it's weird seeing the custom screen be white when you're playing the Blue version, and blue when you're playing the White one....

[@theonejackal89]

No, its white all throughout, I think. I have White and its always been white.

[@sean1oo1]

@@theonejackal89 nope. It’s blue in white version. There’s palette swaps between each version

[@Landmasters]

I've had many alias/usernames online, but Bass Gs is the first one of any significance Still surreal that it was Battle Network that got me into Megaman at all, can't wait for Legacy Collection this month

[@rodolfoflames]

Is that Bass+ X chip actually part of the game?

[@Zmeeed01]

I honestly don't remember, I haven't played MMBN for more than 4 years but I remember BN3 post-story Bass being one-time encounter which means he drops his signature chip regardless of your score and whatever. But I don't think I have ever actually used his Giga Chip because FolderBack was so stupidly good.

[@Bluesit32]

Been a year, but I can confirm that the Bass X chip is real. No GameShark necessary. Never used it though.

[@lamarpray5324]

You also encounter bass during the storyline where you can’t inflict any damage to him and you have to lose (you drop to 1hp you don’t die). He annihilates flameman in one attack

[@kingsleycheung6540]

MUST BE THE ALL BOSS V4 AND THE BUG STONE (300) UP TO FIGHT THE BASS SP

[@shonensaiyan]

Man I could never even touch bass as a kid

[@obvious_humor]

Aaaagh, why does the recording keep jumping in and out slightly? So distracting...

[@animationinflation]

This seems on easy mode when you realize white just has a lousy naviback

[@JuanSeya_22]

This is part of the story ?

I forgot the meaning of GS

[@abc2390986]

Hey Bass shouldn't you show a tiny bit of appreciation to the pair that just saved your sorry arse from Alpha?

[@Bluesit32]

They didn't. Gospel saved him.

[@Gazing-09]

@@Bluesit32 That and he totally forgot about the events.

[@kaizoku8087]

How do you get to this point? How did you get PlantmanV4?

[@OracleLibby]

Trade 300 bugfrags to the bugfrag trader and defeat Serenade. Plantman v4 is obtained either by the bugfrag trader (very rare) or by S ranking Plantman Beta by killing him with no damage/flinching in under 20 seconds with Team as your Style. If you do not have Team style you will get the v3 chip instead.

[@kaizoku8087]

@@OracleLibby Holy cow I didn’t know the game was that intricate on the styles & chips. I assume it is like this with every Navi boss & the team style?

[@truonghaminhnhat5227]

@@kaizoku8087 yes it is. And also only by using Custom style that you can get some rare chips by busting virus
