Bass, Mega Man's eternal archrival, joins the fray. He decides to take on all the robots, and prove to everyone that he is the one and only strongest robot in the universe.

This is a Group Expansion with sonicstormer38. Credit to Blitz Troopa for some of the animations.

I doubt this one will be done anytime soon, or even updated all that much, since both me and SonicStormer also have different projects to take care off. Just sit back and give me a shock when it becomes too much of a bother.

ABOUT BASS

Spoiler:

Bass is a Robot Master created by Dr. Wily, with the only purpose being to destroy Mega Man. During the series, Bass' only goal seem to be to defeat Mega Man, and to become the strongest robot in the world. To achieve this, Bass will often use any means neccesary, usually without results. Even though Bass is obiviously the anti-hero in the Classic series, he is not beyond teaming up with Mega Man to overcome problems he can't handle on his own. Oddly enough, Bass often seems to rebel against Wily, even though Wily designed him to be loyal towards him. Nowadays, Bass appears to do a little more then just Wily's bidding. At the end of Mega Man&Bass, Proto Man noted that Bass has nothing to fight for, and that he is not as bound to Wily as Bass himself thinks he is. Bass didn't make an appeareance in MegaMan 9, this led many fans to believe that Bass actually left Dr. Wily and set out on his own. Later, Bass once again appeared, and he worked for Wily again. Like Mega Man, Bass features the ability to take the weapon of a Robot Master once Bass defeated him or her. His Bass Buster is also capable of firing in multiple directions, although it can't be charged (in some games, in other games, he can).

PLAYSTYLE

Spoiler:

Bass does resemble Mega Man's playstyle in a couple of ways, but he is not a clone. For example, Bass will depend on his own power most of the time, unlike Mega Man, whose attack often feature Robot Master weapons. So long story short, Bass' arsenal is smaller. Bass is also slightly faster then Mega Man, but also weaker. His specials are ment to keep opponents away, some can even be used to set up stragetic combos. As an overall character, Bass has decent killing power, various projectiles to use, but he is rather hard to combo with, and has no reliable way to deal with stronger projectiles, his defense is rather bad, but he provides a fair offense. Bass is good at approaching, so if you use that, you should be able to bring some pain to your opponents.

Pretty simple, he uses his Dash move to ram into opponents. Good for horizontal recovery and quick getaways or approaching.
Up Special: Treble Adapter

-NOTE: This attack is not as easy to gimp as it looks. During this attack, Bass' hurtbox will shrink, making him harder to hit, and his hitbox will grow (mainly noticeable in the fire part), it's not a guranteed recovery though.


Bass uses the Treble Adapter to boost upwards. Covers a good vertical distance.

the weapon obtained from Pirate Man (I never saw the link between a pirate and a mine, but okay). Bass shoots the mine on the stage. If you use your Dspecial again, the mine will explode. Otherwise, it'll explode automatically after 10 seconds.

A FEW NOTES:
-Yes, I know Bass' Moveset is not entirely cannon and I Sakurai'd a bit, but that is done in order to declone him from Mega Man. Don't rant about it, but suggestions are always welcome (unless they are stupid suggestions).
-Bass is gonna have a few references to other Capcom villains in his moveset, but you probably won't notice it all that much. Bass is rather fun to design :3

in the idle stance, his left hand looks flat when its moving towards the body

Just so you know, Damian, I'll probably be doing some of Bass' motions.

Also, wasn't the Side special Bass claw? Is it changing or something?

Are you using my moveset?

Why is this in expansion acception? This should be accepted already since you are a Global Mod, Damian. :/

Ummm... nice but I like Moonlight's moveset better for deferent reasons.
Yours is nice because you de-cloned him but Moonlight's just seems more full.

Global Mod (even Admins) has absolutely nothing to do with expansion skills. Being a Global Mod doesn't mean you have having amazing expansion making skills (it means you could moderate the site). Therefore he shoudn't pass the EAT just because he has a high rank. Same thing for the EAT.

But Damian has the skills, so I will say carry on. He still needs 3 votes to pass through acception though.

Ty Noph and a few things.

First for the Bass Buster it needs to shoot automatically. You are thinking of it like how it works in power fighters but in every other game he is in it shoots auto.

I really do not like the no charge shot... it never looks like that besides the game your using them from and they just look plain weired.

Your up special move is a good idea.

Doesn't the lose spontaneousness combustion thinggy need more rings?


Also when I was still giving all my ideas to Blitz he quit so I'll give them to you.



Easter egg
When in battle with Megaman as a team in team battle mode (obviously) if they win make there win post the stance they do on the cover to the game Megaman and Bass or the sound track to the game.

Game cover

Spoiler:

For his win theme I found the games sound track
http://gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/1665
I would say stage chosen would be a good win theme. Its a well know MegaMan tune, its short, and it kind of helps de-clone him just a little bit

Something about that run...

You sure you aligned it correctly?

BTW, might want to update your sig.

He's also a dev.

Opinions?
