History VideoGame / MegaManRPGPrototype

* BonusBoss: [[spoiler:Quint, who has a rare chance of appearing in Fusion Star fields, but is more likely to be encountered the more Fusion Stars are collected.]]

* VendorTrash: Screws don't count towards a player's BP, with their only purpose being to sell to Auto.

* SupportPartyMember: Each of the doctors can unlock a support robot who specializes in certain StatusBuff and StatusEffect abilities (notably being among the only robots who can use the "Support" and "Assault" series of abilities), and will target allies instead of opponents when using abilities such as the "Swap" moves. Dr. Light gets Roll, while Dr. Wily and Dr. Cossack get the [[OriginalCharacter new characters]] Disco and Rhythm, respectively.

* StatusEffects:
** Disco Fever halves the attack power of the target for six turns.
** Bass Crush is basically the same as Disco Fever, but it doubles all damage the target is dealt.

* SupportPartyMember: Each of the doctors can unlock a support robot who specializes in certain StatusBuff and StatusAilment abilities (notably being among the only robots who can use the "Support" and "Assault" series of abilities), and will target allies instead of opponents when using abilities such as the "Swap" moves. Dr. Light gets Roll, while Dr. Wily and Dr. Cossack get the [[OriginalCharacter new characters]] Disco and Rhythm, respectively.

* StatusAilment:
** Disco Fever halves the attack power of the target for six turns.
** Bass Crush is basically the same as Disco Fever, but it doubles all damage the target is dealt.

* AttackAttackAttack: Buster Shot and its elemental variants fire multiple times based on your speed relative to that of the target's[[note]]If you're twice as fast as the target it'll fire twice, three times, equals three shots, etc.[[/note]], while Water Balloon will constantly fire, depleting weapon energy with each balloon fired, with the user being unable to stop until either they've run out of weapon energy or the target is disabled.

* LimitedMoveArsenal: Each Robot and Mecha can learn a maximum of eight moves.

* ChargedAttack: The "Buster" series of moves, which charge up energy on initial use and fire an energy blast when used again. Pharaoh Shot and Dynamo Bolt work in a similar fashion.

** Bass Crush is basically the same, as Disco Fever, but it doubles all damage the target is dealt.

* IncreasinglyLethalEnemy: Robots with the Attack, Defense, or Speed Booster item equipped. Those with the Field Booster item can also be indirect versions, as they boost the power of the robot's core type (unless they're a Neutral or Copy Core), and thus most of their attacks.

** If you take the time to grind enough Starforce (no, not [[Videogame/MegaManStarForce THAT Star Force]]) in the postgame, your robots' stats can potentially grow to four-figure numbers. Needless to say, stuff like this snaps the campaign. For reference, without such bonuses, the average robot's stats cap out at about the mid-500 to late-700 ranges.

* StatusAilment: Disco Fever halves the attack power of the target for six turns.

* AttackAttackAttack: Water Balloon will constantly fire, depleting weapon energy with each balloon fired. The user can't stop until either they've run out of weapon energy or the target is disabled.

** Skull Barrier negates ''all'' damage (save for DamageOverTime attacks), but dissipates at the end of the turn after its raised. Furthermore, it doesn't negate the secondary effects of abilities the user is hit by.

** Blizzard Attack lacks a secondary effect, but is one of the weakest area-of-effect abilities.

** The Missile type, which represents the missile weapons of the series (such as Magnet Missile and Homing Sniper).

* BonusBoss: [[spoiler:Quint, who only appears in the postgame Boss Field.]]

** Solar Blaze works similarly to Air Twister, except it absorbs the target's attacks.

* LimitedMoveArsenal: Each robot can learn a maximum of eight moves. Mechas have this same maximum, though they're much less likely to reach it.

* VisibleSilence: Used for the dialogue of the Met mecha. Averted by the Sniper Joe and Bombomb mechas, however, which instead use completely empty quotation marks.

** Perhaps strangest of all are the [[FrickinLaserBeams Laser type]] and the [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe Shield type]], which don't have as much presence as independent types, almost always serving as secondary types for other abilities that have more conventional primary types.

** Several types of shields can be destroyed if they are hit with an attack of a certain type, such as hitting Leaf Shield with a Flame type ability or Jewel Satellite with an Impact type ability.

* ActionInitiative: An ability's "Speed" stat determines if it strikes before or after the opponent's move. The Copy type abilities and Field/Mecha Support abilities have the highest ability speed (+9), while Super Throw has the lowest (-2).

* AttackAttackAttack: Water Balloon will constantly fire, depleting weapon energy with each balloon fired. The user can't stop until either they run out of weapon energy or the target is disabled.

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Almost all abilities with the Shield type are...well, shields. Most of them are based on shields from classic ''Mega Man'', and can usually be thrown starting the turn after they've been raised at the cost of their defensive use.

** Jewel Satellite negates damage from Flame, Nature, Electric, and Water type abilities, but like Skull Barrier, it doesn't negate their secondary effects. It can be destroyed by Explode and Impact type abilities.

** In addition to the above abilities, there's Core Shield, which reduces damage from attacks with the same type as the user's own core (either internal or held) by 99%, and can only be destroyed by Mega Ball. Robots with held cores get a free Core Shield of the held type at the start of the battle.

* VendorTrash: Screws are the only items that don't count towards a player's BP, with their only purpose being to sell to Auto.

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Almost all abilities with the Shield type shield weapons are...well, shields. Most of them are based on shields from classic ''Mega Man'', and can usually be thrown starting the turn after they've been raised at the cost of their defensive use.

The plot has Dr. Light and Mega Man trapped in a prototype battle simulator, seperated from Dr. Cossack. As they search for their friend and a way to escape, they encounter copies of Robot Masters across the ''Mega Man'' series, and even meet up with Dr. Wily.

** Several types of shields can be destroyed if they are hit with an attack of a certain type, such as hitting Leaf Shield with a Flame-type ability or Jewel Satellite with an Impact-type ability.
** Roll Swing can destroy Super Arm barriers (being the only Neutral-type ability that can do so), and Mega Ball can destroy Core Shields.

* CounterAttack: Air Twister, a Wind/Shield type ability that halves damage from oncoming attacks and deals counter damage at the end of the turn.

* DamageOverTime: Galaxy Bomb and Thunder Wool, which stay on the opposing side of the field for several turns and deal damage to whoever's next to them at the end of each turn they're present on. Galaxy Bomb lasts for five turns but can only target the opponent currently in battle, while Thunder Wool can target benched opponents but only lasts for three turns.
* DefeatMeansPlayable: The ''Mega Man 1'', ''Mega Man 2'', and ''Mega Man 4'' robots are unlocked by defeating them on their home field with only Neutral type abilities.

* LimitedMoveArsenal: Each Robot can learn a maximum of eight moves. Mechas have this same maximum, though they're much less likely to reach it.

* NonElemental: The Neutral type, given to Roll, Disco, Rhythm, and the Met mecha. Nothing in the game has a resistance or weakness to it, and most Neutral type abilities can be taught to any robot. Unlocking the ''Mega Man 1'', ''Mega Man 2'', and ''Mega Man 4'' robots also requires defeating them with only Neutral type abilities.

** There's also the Copy Shot ability, which gives the user whatever move the opponent last used in place of the Shot if the target isn't a Mecha or Boss. This can be used to learn abilities earlier than intended.

** Fire Chaser deals more damage the faster the opponent is compared to the user.

* SplashDamage: Hyper Bomb has a chance of dealing reduced damage to benched opponents.

* VisibleSilence: Used for the dialogue of the Met and Sniper Joe mechas. Averted by the Bombomb mecha, however, which instead uses completely empty quotation marks.

** Several types of shields can be destroyed if they are hit with an attack of a certain type, such as hitting Leaf Shield with a Flame-type ability or Jewel Satellite with an Earth-type ability.

''Mega Man RPG Prototype'' is a fanmade [[WebGames browser-based]] role-playing game based off the VideoGame/MegaManClassic series. It was created by Adrian Marceau (also known as [=Ageman20XX=]) and first released in 2011, developing and evolving further thanks to contributions by members of the game's community.

Gameplay is inspired by {{Franchise/Pokemon}}, with the Robot Masters serving as {{Mons}}, each able to learn abilities matching their Core type. The game has three campaigns, each unlocked by progressing enough in another campaign. In addition to a single starting robot, more robots can be unlocked through battling them or purchasing them through the shop.

* FeedItWithFire: Several robots, mechas, and bosses have Affinities, which are types that will heal the target if they are hit by them. Unlike [[NoSell Immunities]], however, they can be overridden if one of the ability's types is also a weakness of the target's.

* YouWillNotEvadeMe: Ice Breath and Gravity Hold prevent the target from switching out for a certain number of turns.
