The proto-shield has never been legitimately useful in any of it's usable iterations in the series so far, and that's really the only unique thing Protoman has. There needs to be something that actually makes the characters feel unique and make you approach the game in different ways. Taking extra damage and firing one less buster shot is not enough to warrant a separate character. (also removing the double gear system as a gameplay gimmick would just be terrible considering it's half of the reason why MM11 is so good) The entire purpose of a new character is to provide a different gameplay experience, not to be a hard mode. If you want a hard mode, then just add a hard mode. Treble Boost, being able to him his shots at the expense of having no charge shot as well as the dashes differentiate that playstyle quite a fair bit from Mega Man (at least in MM10, he is easy but his playstyle is entirely different). Nothing super unique about him compared to Mega Man either. His playthrough is basically just easy mode. Four shots at a time, can aim his shots diagonally and straight up if need be, and because he dashes instead of slides he can keep momentum when he jumps out of it. He's not all that different from Mega Man either aside from the fact that he's actually easier to play as. In the context of MM11, he could even simply not have the double gear system, forcing him to overcome all the obstacles in his way without it (which is actually doable).īass is basically the opposite situation. His playthrough is pretty much just a challenge run in which you have to aim your shots better and can't afford to take many hits. He doesn't need to be wildly different than Mega Man. Protoman is effectively a sort of hard mode. Other than he's functionally just another Mega Man (which only worked in 9 and 10 because again, they took away key moves from Mega Man himself for no good reason). Originally posted by CrowRising:On top of this, Protoman takes double damage when he does get hit, which is why you need to practice at using the shield, as well as only firing two shots at a time instead of Mega Man's three and Bass's four. I'm pretty sure IIRC Protoman does slide, it's Bass who has the dash. On top of this, Protoman takes double damage when he does get hit, which is why you need to practice at using the shield, as well as only firing two shots at a time instead of Mega Man's three and Bass's four. Then he's also been depicted with a dash rather than a slide. Originally posted by Devsman:Well, there's the shield, and then he's often depicted as having a stronger charge shot than Mega Man.
