Mega Man Battle Network 3: Blue Part #24

Part 24: PET Kune Dope.

Screw Chaud, I have computers to loot. _{And Progs to sacrifice.}

PROGS FOR THE PROG GOD

Why couldn't those have been in the same box?

Fire this Program.

Promote this Program

Sweet! FireRatton acts as a stationary obstacle with 230 HP when you set it(can deal 230 damage to the square in front of you). It will do nothing until you hit it with fire, causing the thing to fire at lightning speeds towards its opponent, also dealing 230 damage. Add a GrassStage and this damage doubles. You can nab a HeatShot H, so this should make a decent boss killer attack if you're new.

And the lists of our viruses are...?

Boo.

Bitches love Swordys

Yay!

Bitches. Love. Swordys

Remember that early fetch quest where the Navi wanted LongSword E? Yeah, you either had to find a nice mystery data or S-rank Swordy1's to get it. Hurr.

Fuck, a P-code. The elemental sword variants have a PA together in this game. That is, AquaSword, FireSword, ElecSword and BambSword can make a PA that can hit for over 800 damage (might even be 1000). The problem is, they all need to be the same code -- N or P. Now, I only have the N codes for most of these chips, so at some point, I will need to try and see at what ranks Swordy2 will drop FireSword N. That, or get the other chips in P code.

Grinding for chips of a specific code: never fun. Even if you skip the battling and go right to the chip trader...ing

Oh, a Style level up. I fight too many viruses.

Pretty short program. Unfortunately, it only negates one type of panel, so it's not worth putting in really. It's better to have AirShoes, this way when holes come into play, you won't get stuck. Besides, you should be learning how to deal with a panel full of cracked panels because that is exactly what GutsMan is supposed to do.

GutsMan also shows that it can be good to break cracked panels, y'know, to stop his shockwave and all that.

Finally we can go to the top floor.

Oh yeah we were meant to be doing something, huh.

We will never be let inside. Ever.

That's a pity. I was hoping for a re-enactment of this.

Say what you will about computers not always opening up right away. At least they tried to have this one make sense. We'll be coming back later.

Security.... reasons??? In MMBN?? Mind = blown.

Now we just head in through that door. SAVE FIRST.

Foremost? Really? But you said worldwide that we're the ones who took down the WWW! WHERE'S THE LOVE!?

Lan's done like two things (beating the WWW, beating the netmafia), with the help of Chaud. Chaud done that and also works as an official full-time kicking arse and taking names. CHAUD FAN CLUB, ASSEMBLE.

_{i only just realised he's wearing earrings}

Just like watching TV.

And the winner of dumbest ideas ever goes to perennial favourite, the WWW

no wait that's still not dumber than Gospel. STEP IT UP, GUYS.

Gasp.

Not the worst plan ever?

Wait a minute, does Sunayama have a gun or something? How exactly is he holding the guy hostage. You could literally get some of your Official buddies to drop him. Then again, I guess you wouldn't wanna take the chance. For all you know, he's got a knife and we just can't see it because it's a kids game

So how does this prove that the WWW is meant to be taken seriously, Sunayama? I'm sorry, but, all you're really doing is preventing him from fighting you with ProtoMan. Granted, ProtoMan would be a big loss for the good guys, however, wasn't your plan supposed to be "defeat the top Netbattlers, so WWW looks really powerful by comparison"? What you're doing is the equivalent of being a playground bully. This doesn't prove your stronger and anyone with common sense will see right through it. This plan could only work if everyone on the planet was so stupid that--

Okay, this game got me there. _Dammit.

And ProtoMan is just like 'yep this is so dumb I'm done with it Chaud please do anything to just make this go away quickly'

Smug Lan to the rescue! But seriously, all Sunayama had to do was bug the competitor's PETs. That way, his victory would be pretty much assured. He wouldn't have had to reveal his identity at all!

That... smugface kind of leads me to a different reading of that part

Hmm, I don't think we picked up any plot items recently.

Just get in there and tell that cowboy-hatted weirdo that you're a better netbattler than Chaud for one of a million reasons. That sounds distracting.

Best plan ever.

It's... definitely not the worst plan ever??

Sunayama is a fucking retard. This could have been so easy, but nooooo.

Why couldn't he have just pirated ProtoMa- oh wait he's a TV exec, he's probaby like, anti-piracy or something

You could also just punch him?

You can't punch kids on TV! I think.

What the fuck?

oh my god

The motherfucking super elephant resistant PET case just knocked an adult out cold!

WHO'S THE BEST NETBATTLER NOW, BITCHES?

The screen fades to black and fades in

What just happened? You woke the dude up, untied him, and Sunayama got up? You didn't retrain Sunayama first? Chaud? Don't you have handcuffs or something?

look out, Lan's got a plan

We're doomed.

It wasn't that filthy... just because Lan's 11 and was eating ice-cream while playing videogames earler today... OK it's a little filthy.

Kinda fucked yourself on that one, huh?

Well, he is an adult and could just pummel Lan into the floor easily. Actually, now that his hostage is gone, Chaud could probably surround the whole building with Officials. Escaping would be very prudent right now.

Yeah, but he's a WWW member. Rational decisions just ain't their style.

...

If nothing else, guys, turn your attention to 4:15

THE BRUCE LEE COMBO!

This sprite animation does not exist in any other Battle Network game. It's funny how despite these games using nearly every bit of space they could fit on the GBA, they still had took the time and effort to implement something like this. This kick is only in two moves, this and a Program Advance.

Hold A and do Left, B, Down, B, Down, B for this combo. It adds up to about 800 damage and doesn't cause flashing, allowing you to follow up with another attack.

THIS THREAD NEEDS MORE BRUCE LEE

Whoah, I did not know that was a thing but I LOVE IT WHOAH

GET FUCKED!

I would say he had his arse thoroughly kicked

which would make him a buttface

Weren't we all?

Good times.

Then maybe you should have hauled ass earlier! You gave Chaud ample time to call for backup!

Sunayama: good at making decisions

Don't fall for it, please, Lan.

Sunayama: excellent at tricking 11-year olds

Clearly, I'm asking too much of this game.

So? He's a kid. Just run right through him.

But it's Chaud

_{chaud fanclub, assemble!}

Even this game knows BubbleMan was just someone invented to troll the players.

That's amazing

WHAT DID I FUCKING TELL YOU!? THE STUPIDITY!

Seems legit.

You're too stupid to make requests, sorry.

"I request you don't arrest me"

If Chaud were smart, he could give that information in exchange for some intel on Wily's group. Criminals take deals all the time.

If x character from a MegaMan Battle Network game was... smart? I don't think I understand.

NOOB! You gave up a valuable interrogation weapon!

And it fades out again. I normally tolerate fades because it's usually a way to 'refresh' the scene without making certain characters exit. That would require new sprites and time/money/space doesn't always allow for it. It was only the previous fade I had a problem with, simply because a lot of actions clearly transpired and it's hard to know what exactly happened. In this, Sunayama just got carted off by the Officials.

Either that or he was A GHOST ALL ALONG. TV gold!
