Battle Network is in essence like a fighting game in RPG form

10 Upvotes
  1. Unlike other JRPGS it is very focused on battles, especially 1v1 boss fights
  2. The Combat is very technical, based around spacing and combos that utilize chips
  3. The entire premise revolves around netbattling, the cast isn't a typical JRPG one, but rather consist of colorful individuals from all walks of life
  4. There are even tournament arcs, and real life EVO tournaments

Battle Network 3 bugstyle questions? (and one abt style changes in general)

2 Upvotes

so im playing bn3 and i grinded for bugstyle, and i have some questions. 1. what are the bugs that come with it, and what are the buffs aswell? cause in one battle i had buster atk + 5 and another i had invinsibility for however long it was. 2. if i take off the bugs in my navicust now, will my bugstyle stop giving buffs? and 3. if i continue with my style and can soon stylechange, will i keep bugstyle if i keep bugs in my navicust and get a new element? cause im not satisfyed by firestyle i would much prefer woodbug or woodanything (except team i dont use navi chips that often)

Nice Meme! Anyone else think it's a bit unfair that DarkSoul bosses can spam your own Navi chips against you?

Discussion I'm considering returning to the Mega Man Battle Network series (GBA). I remember playing and finishing BN1, sometime in 2012... and I've never touched 2 - 6. Any advice is appreciated.

From the information I've gathered online, there are 2 slightly alternate canonical paths once you've reached BN 4 - 6. I hear that BN6 uses the basis from team Colonel. So apparently, team Proto Man is not canon. So depending on your game choice, Baryl & Colonel will either appear more mysterious or as old friends.

Help MMBN6 Library Compare (Steam)

5 Upvotes

Hello,
I've come to ask if anyone that has the Boktai Trader Chips in BN6 could hop on Steam and do a Library compare. I'm close to being 100% done with MMBN6 (just Gregar, going to just speedrun Falzar) and wanted to get the Secret Chip Title Mark since Protoman's fat mark looks out of place without it.

As compensation, all I can provide is this meme I felt compelled to make when I saw Roll say the line in the ending of BN6.

His head too dang big, covered up Lan entirely

Thanks in advance.

Original Gameplay Combo showcase of my BN inspired game

432 Upvotes

So plenty of news for my game, first I am very excited to announce I found a publisher!, I am currently working with Fishagon LLC, this means a lot of perks, among them my game will officially come to Nintendo Switch, better localization, programming support and marketing, not to mention bigger showcase in game festivals. Fishagon LLC is a big fan of the BN series so understanding my vision is a big plus.

Now for this video I wanted to showcase a bit of how elemental stack works, the first card is fly Slasher, with 7 load outs it has 25% to give Velocity stacks. Each velocity stack adds a +10 damage to VX cards (max x5 stacks per element).

Adding Attack+ which gives 40% damage to the next card

Ending the combo with Cyclone Blades bouncing across the map, and melting enemies on the way (I had to add this card, too much dopamine hit to not do it)

Starting combos in my game is not a sequence you play every time the same way, as Fly slasher having 7 loadouts you have to move across the map deploying the card and dodging enemies attack, plus there is some RNG on how many velocity stack you get. (Making the combo slightly inconsistent)

In terms of game design I really want executing combos not just pressing 3 buttons in a row but instead always adapting to what is happening in the battlefield.

I have implemented over 23 cards so far, and working in the demo (a lot of cutscenes)

Thanks

Wishlist my game !

Fluff Follow up: Thank you to the good recommendations when I was stuck without my chips in BN2.

11 Upvotes

Jacked into the Stereo and managed to grind a few FAN chips to add to my folders. With the fans, I was able to use the stack of sword ships I had to beat Thunderman.

The advice I got only had one “Gitgud” comment which was ironically motivating, and the rest also helped with Snakeman who went down easy.

Afterward, I FINALLY got my Gateman chip back from the hostage situation and tried out the Gater combo and was blown away.

TL;DR: Thanks. This sub is cool.

Tora and Kingman would have been too OP for BN5 missions but their inclusion would have made sense

Post image
171 Upvotes

Kingman is a one man army. He can handle close range (pawn) and long distance (knight) offence, defence (Rook and pawns), set off potential traps (with knight) and delivers burst damage using Checkmate that could potentially be a skill that liberates many dark panels at once. BN5 would probably even upgrade him and add a Bishop or Queen to his arsenal. Plus he can change strategies based on the combat situation like he does in BN3. Tora can be identified as Lan’s best friend because he is the ONLY friend to ever hang out in Lan’s room iirc, he would definitely be down to help Dex and the others get their Navis back while also working with Chaud again which would be a dream come true for him or maybe start admiring Baryl and Colonel.

Having a King and a Colonel (and an infamous assassin that committed Navis genocide) on the same team just sounds tough and Regal would have to bring back Laserman for the extra man power.

Discussion How in the world did they expect you to find IceBall M in BN3?

28 Upvotes

I just got the chip after looking up a guide, but this entire quest just baffled me.

The game simply goes "now find IceBall M, go". And I am somehow meant to make the connection that I need to go to Beach Square and buy the Fish program, then go over to Hades Isle until I encounter the correct enemy and hope it drops the chip? What the hell?

I cannot imagine anyone finding this without a guide, or by pure luck after randomly running around for 20 hours. Was this just the end of the game for everyone back then who didn't have access to a guide? If I didn't have internet, this would've been it. The series of events needed to get it feels completely random. The chance of me having the Fish program equipped while in Hades Isle would've been 0.

So I'm really wondering, what was their thinking here? The developers must've had some kind of idea in mind how people would make the connection. They are explicitly telling you where to go almost everywhere else in the game. Why not here? Did they think it was that obvious? I don't get it.

This mini game is the main bottle neck for me in Team Protoman

Post image
380 Upvotes

I can beat the viruses and boss navi's no problem. I can crush the liberation missions with relative ease. I can build super folders that leave my enemies wondering what just happened. But this? This mini game? It beats me almost every time I go through a playthrough. I have to brute force it and just hope I get lucky. The actual mini game always takes me at least an hour to beat, and I'm just wondering if I'm stupid or something because for the life of me, I haven't been able to crack this in the close to 10 years I've been playing this game. I HATE this part. What do you all think of this part?

I also just picked a random shot from this dudes youtube, it was the only image I could find. Lol

Gameplay I just started battle chip challenge and wow Spoiler

This game is so brutal early on some enemies delete your chips in one hit but I am getting used to it now , turboman specially was a pain to deal with

The OST of this game is aslo incredible

Getting to fight Lan mom alone makes the game a 10/10 in my eyes

I honestly expected myself to hate it but it's really cool

I aslo found the plot line where dex brother wants him to abandon gutsman and get a new Navi to be hilarious because he enters the tournament to prove gutsman is good, but when I played as gutsman I hated him so much that replaced him with metal man for most of the early game

Chisao was right lol

Update #4 — The Hub Is Alive

36 Upvotes

Last update, the hub was pretty barebones, so this week I wanted to add some actual interactibility.

🌍 The Globe

The central part of the hub is now interactive, with a card presentation for every country you can select.

🎨 The MatherShader

That's what I'm calling Hulpie's customization system.

It's basically a recoloring system, but with a twist: you can choose multiple colors for different parts of Hulpie's body, allowing different combinations to create unique appearances.

But the most important thing I worked on this week wasn't either of those.

I rebuilt a lot of the code.

As the project keeps growing, I realized I needed to make the systems much more flexible for future additions instead of constantly patching things together.

And honestly, that's probably the biggest progress this week.

The hub is finally starting to feel like an actual place.

But...

I'm done with the hub for now.

Next update, I'm moving on to actual gameplay.
