Rockman Rumble 2

Bruh, the Slashman ignoring little pause when new challenger spawns and still going for the kills were probably the most hilarious bits.

[@k1productions87]

Heh. The funny thing is, the pause (at least in the original) was primarily just me being lazy :P

Guess he really wants to win that badly, plus Airman did push him into his own little sticky trap so I guess karma had to get him somehow.

Also when Slashman was stuck in his own gooey trap I can imagine him saying Slashman:Well that's great, can someone help me here? Plantman: I gotcha brother. Plantman hits Slashman with his plant shield and Slashman got out, Slashman: Ow that hurt a bit, but thanks anyways. Plantman: no problemo.

Surprising I haven't seen anyone mention how Napalm Man's first action after getting into the arena (besides his intro animation) is dashing straight at Plant Man. Seems like Napalm remembered what happened last time and has a grudge against Plant for it.

[@k1productions87]

I think a couple people have, but its been so long, i cannot find their comments anymore LOL And the first thing he would probably notice is how much his abilities were nerfed with the new weapon energy bar. Not sure how to narratively retcon that, but its not like there is much actual "narrative" anyway :P

Dude, I love the concept of how all the bosses can summon their stage enemy bots. It makes it adjacent to how Mega Man/Rockman can summon Rush, Beat and Eddie. It also reminds me of a real function in technology where a machine can have a master/slave relationship with their assemblies. Good work and concept.

[@k1productions87]

It was based on their abilities from the Rockman Power Battle/Power Fighters arcade games, I just tweaked some of them here and there. Though some had movesets built from scratch, as they did not appear in either game, namely SnakeMan, TopMan, NeedleMan, CrystalMan and ToadMan

[@modnarresu6758]

Damn, I was so into the final battle that I didn't even realise how obvious the winner would be due to the winner having the loser's weakness. Good job!

[@k1productions87]

and it wasn't even that Snakeman's weapon did greater damage because of weakness, just that his snake abilities seemed to be the perfect counter to all of Geminiman's abilities... and it wasn't even intentional. It seriously just worked out that way, and fit so perfectly :D

[@lianaverwood9810]

You got me at the End. I knew PlantMan would be given some bias, especially when you put him in from the get-go - but he really had a good chance to prove himself! The strategy (a totally Legitimate one, I might add) of hanging back whenever given a break to use his Natural Regenerative abilities was very smart, and well within his Statistical Data to do so. I thought you'd let PlantMan survive for a fair while before finally going down, but as the Rumble went on, I got more and more suspicious that you were rigging things to have him Win. Those fears became certainty when the Final Entrant came in and you suddenly dropped E-Tanks into the arena for PlantMan, who was about to die! So yeah, I totally fell for it... Once PlantMan was out of the picture, it was obvious who would win - Search Snakes _are_ GeminiMan's Weakness, after all... This was definitely a much better designed match this time around, and definitely much more balanced out to lessen the OP Status of certain Robot Masters (*coughNapalmMancough*). Absolutely awesome battling from Start to Finish!

[@k1productions87]

I appreciate it and always welcome in-depth analysis. I believe I made things a bit too ambiguous in certain cases with the first one, but tried to tell a few stories with this one that would be easier to pick up on, particularly with PlantMan, and I'm so glad so many caught on to it :D Yeah, there was no way in hell I was having him win for a second time ROFL. But truth be told, I didn't even know who I was going to have win until I got up to like the 2nd to last entrant, and even by that point I had a short list of 3 or 4 possibilities. The whole thing I had played by ear. I honestly felt Napalmman would rock hard for most of the match too, but it didn't quite turn out that way, did it? LOL

The updates to Adobe have made further expansions to this particular project unsustainable. I am not against making new ones though 3) If I do a Rockman Rumble 3, one of two things will have to happen: - a) I will have to re-create the characters in vector art rather than sprites, meaning I could make whoever I wished, including Springman. - b) I will create 3D models of each character, so I could also include various camera angles to get deeper into the action. And in that case, same answer, Springman would definitely be a possibility.

[@nicodalusong149]

This was great to watch. The last bit got me on the edge of my seat. If there's anything I'd have to say for improvements, I noticed you used most/all of the attack animations for most of the robot masters except for Stone Man. From what I remember, Stone Man has that Power Stone attack which was a stone hand that moved forward along the ground to grab you. Was it too hard to add in? On another note, I really enjoy certain entrances like Slash Man's. I also enjoyed certain moments like how Napalm Man immediately attacks after entering, Shadow Man slide tackling Napalm Man to stop him from moving, seeing Napalm Man's attack get interrupted and Gyro Man's attacks moved diagonally and then in a different direction to remind the viewer that they are fighting in a 3d space (probably my favorite of the bunch). Looking forward to another one.

[@k1productions87]

leaving out the moving hand was a style choice... it had so little actual animation to it that It just didn't sit well with me. Its something that I would use if/when I remake the characters in vector art or 3D models

Yes indeed. There are some complications though. All the custom sprite sheets I had made had gotten lost, and the original Flash file got corrupted. I still have the ones on this file, but I am unable to edit them in any way. So... if there is to be a Rockman Rumble 3, one of two things must happen. Either brand new vector artwork of the characters (wanna upgrade from just sprites) so they will not only be easier to edit and make new moves for, but I can make missing characters like FireMan, MetalMan, SkullMan, GravityMan, KnightMan and so forth. Or... the harder, more costly, but ultimately more impressive option,... 3D ... the second option is less likely, but the option is still on the table should fortunate circumstances arise.

Man, this brought all the feelings of the original back for me. First off, the animation is so much smoother and at a brisker pace, evidence of how far you've come in animation. The Master choices make sense, even with some odd ones thrown in, but it makes it fun. I thought Plant Man was going to have a much rougher time based on past performance, but he turned out to be very clever, and almost heel-like based on other's opinion of him. We almost have a heel rivalry in Napalm and Plant, and that's kinda cool. Super fun to watch, and just like the first one, I feel like I could watch this five times and get a different perspective just based on where I focus. On a more personal note...man...You couldn't let my bois Stone Man, Magnet Man, or Top Man get the W?

The entire time I was just flying by the seat of my pants and seeing what went where based on who was in the ring, how much weapon energy they had, and where everyone was positioned. Stoneman I got rid of sooner because his sprite sheet was very limited, his attacks constantly cluttered up the ring and hampered movement, and it became more of a hassle than anything else. Magnetman I really wanted to be a beast again, like he was before... but unfortunately it didn't quite end up that way. As I said, seat of my pants animation Topman was on my shortlist for final victors, which I didn't finally decide on until I was at the second to last entry. My short list was Snakeman, Geminiman, Topman, and Centaurman... but the last one would have been a little obvious, so it came down to the three from Megaman 3.... you can tell where my bias is :P Plantman was never going to win

[@RotaAbyssian]

@@k1productions87 Oh, of course not. Sending in Plant Man first was a death sentence. I was just more impressed he lasted as long as he did. I expected a more unified front against him. The way things happened is not "bad" just different and very cool. the fact I could not predict how things would end up is a point in your favor. Plus, Plant Man losing his belt, so to speak, gives him an interesting arc rather than if he just stomped through to the end. Having to decide between rooting for Stone Man or Magnet Man when they were in the ring together was a special hell though ;). Like I said before, this is going to be one, like the original, that I keep coming back to. There are so many little interactions that between watching the meters and the battles themselves, I could legitimately watch this five times focusing on different interactions, and come away with different perspectives. Truly excellent work, and I look forward to a third whenever you feel like it's time to work on it. i know you have other projects that you're more immediately passionate about, so patience is key.

Snakeman was going nuts while being clever. Was always there but never in the way. Definently earned that win.

Certainly more deserving than Plantman last time. Though you gotta admit, he more than held his own this time. But I wasn’t gonna have him win twice lol

[@overlordalfredo]

Would be nice to see who did how many finishing hits. Snake Man deleted like 5 at least

[@k1productions87]

Oh crap, that is the one metric I forgot to have at the end.

[@SwerveStarEx]

After Plantman basically won the last one by timeout, he EARNED his high placement in this one. He is plagued by low speed, low stamina, and low energy efficiency, but he fought EXCEEDINGLY intelligently by creating shields, summoning allies, and taking his time letting his enemies fight. I also happened to notice that he made an effort to target Gyroman with his spinning vine summon whenever he flew into the air to keep him from camping up there too long. (Toadman also tried to keep him out of the air, credit to him!) Pharoahman, meanwhile, showed up when Plantman did in the last one, at the very end. In the previous match he was also taken out by Breakman, who was trying to illegally steal his spot. But he managed to make a name for himself in his brief time around by pounding out a TON of damage per hit, placing the top in damage per minute despite only being there for, well, a minute. He had high energy costs for his abilities, but they did blazing amounts of damage. If he managed to grab that W Tank towards the end he may have been able to change the course of the match, but his low stamina did him in... Centaurman was also shockingly efficient. Slow movement, slow projectiles limiting his ranged effectiveness, large frame, yet his variety of weapons, highly effective shield, his massive damage output, and his high energy effectiveness (a lot of his defensive options were low energy, so he could take the time to recover energy naturally, plus most of his tools were pretty efficient), made him a force to be reckoned with. Crystalman should theoretically been really good at taking out multiple targets, particularly those who summoned a bunch of allies, but it seemed sort of like he got a bit overwhelmed by all the chaos. He made an effort, and his charge attack gimmick seemed useful. His damage output was bigger than expected in the final count, he had a lot of potential, but seemed a bit too slow to fight more effectively. Perhaps if there's a third episode he can redeem himself. (But for now, rest. You put in a TON of work, this was excellent.)

[@k1productions87]

I absolutely adore this analysis. You caught nearly everything I had in mind, and I love it. One minor caveat, Gyroman would have never been able to camp in the air, as his flight takes away energy, but the excellent point still stands in order to take the next big step that I would need to in order to make another sequel or expand beyond it might require more than I am able to offer on my own. As cool as it would be to remake everything with solid vector art, I would really really like to be able to do it all in 3-D

You can't really see it because of the unfortunately low video quality. When a Robot Master is knocked down, his energy must reach the next line up before he can recover back to his feet. This is also why Geminiman stays down and the end and just takes the last snake that kills him. He didn't have proper energy to recover.
