- OBSERVATION LOG -
LOG ENTRY 1.1 - FIRST CONTACT
Galaxy Man, a creation of Doctor Wily. Had his prominent role in Mega Man 9. Original objective: to care for a space research station and calculate the trajectories for rockets. After break-down, he wielded primarily the Black Hole Bomb, creating small vortexes that draw Mega Man in. Easiest boss to defeat. More research required on his abilities.
LOG ENTRY 1.2 - MOVEMENTS
Idles A wide stance. Kaleidoscopic body, constantly shifting colours.
Walks Basic movement. Rare, slow motion forward.
Runs Caution advised. High speed gliding object, lifting up off the ground. Do not antagonize.
Made dizzy Head spins wildly and uncontrollably. Colours shift to blues and purples.
Sleep Subject does not require sleep. Merely powers down, all movement vanishing.
Hovers Pressing the jump command a third time sends specimen into a hover where he can move side to side at a good speed. This lasts until subject presses the jump command or ten seconds at most. Several new attacks in this state; beware.
Notice: Subject does not crouch.
ATTENTION! EMERGENCY!
Subject has been found to use black holes extensively. Vortexes exercise varying amounts of pull from a distance of two platforms, on bodies and projectiles alike. More notes to be taken on this area. Pull to be indicated by comparison to known amount of inertia. Example:
[Negative Sonic's Run] cancels out speed from indicated motion.
LOG ENTRY 1.3 - PROPERTIES
- An unremarkable jumper.
- Hovers quickly.
- Can hit from afar with vortexes.
- Lacks firepower.
- Grips terrain poorly.
- Heavy as an overweight human.
- Floats profusely.
- Of middling height.
LOG ENTRY 1.4 - COMBAT OBSERVATIONS
Have encountered specimen and engaged in battle. Here follow our records of his various methods of attack.
Standard Combo [Oscillation Complex]
Strikes a pose, moving one foot forward, and lowers and tilts head forward. Subject proceeded to rapidly spin its head while flashing bright yellow. Has a weak pull inwards, and can be kept up until power battery runs dry, five seconds after.
[2% a hit] [Negative Ganondorf's walk]
Dash [Commence Soar]
Specimen becomes compact out of his dash and, keeping momentum, moves up on an arc, into Hover state two blocks off the ground. Along the way, causes light harm on contact. Galaxy Man is unpredictable and should be avoided at all costs.
[5%]
Tilt Forward [Crimson Profusion]
Leans forward and begins to flash red, giving enough time to prepare for what is coming. Incredible duration, specimen is able to hold it infinitely. The heat generated causes contact with its body to ricochet our testers away, far. Many counter-measures can penetrate its exterior, however.
[8%]
Tilt Up [Polarity Reversal]
Splays out arms and stands on tips of feet, indicator. For a space above subject, gravity reverses, pulling us up instead of down. Attempting to jump causes downwards movement, required to prevent star ejection. Duration of negative zone: 1.5 seconds.
[0%]
Tilt Down [Flash Guise]
Ducks down slightly, and freezes in spot, glittering as though with stars. Difficult to predict. Upon contact with glittering body, causes temporary loss of motion, including suspension if in air, for two seconds. Duration: one second. Highly recommend use of ranged attack as preventive measure.
[0%]
Smash Forward [Galaxy Palm]
Extends an arm. Period of time before attack signifies strength of second strike; next, causes black hole to generate on palm. Powerful pull inwards. If contact is established with palm, second hit is executed, a powerful punch with other hand. Avoid contact at all costs - flee.
[14%] [Negative Fox's Run]
Smash Up [Probe Transmitter]
Ejects small probe-like being, shaped as a UFO, from head. This being hovers some distance above. Upon contact, however, clamps onto target's cranium and proceeds to extract brain matter; can be dispelled by persistent tapping. Proceeds then to return to master and donate same brain matter, restoring Galaxy Man in equal amounts to damage dealt. CAUTION: vortexes pull probes in as well. Only one probe available at a time.
[5%-20%]
Smash Down [Mote Matrix]
Subject points to ground below, temporarily causing it to reform itself through particles. Contact with shifting particles causes pain and knockback. After work, target area becomes hidden vortex with small effect radius, and dealing no damage; however, preventing jumping above it. Duration of presence variable by charge time, ranging to fifteen seconds.
[10%] [Negative Mario's Run]
Hover Attack [Compression Missile]
Out of hover, subject releases small silver missile, which descends to ground level and then slowly flies back and forth. Upon contact with anything, it detonates, creating a cloud of steam and inflicting damage. As with the probe, this missile is affected by vortexes.
[8%]
Hover Special [Extraterrestrial Barrage]
Subject opens up and releases a black hole that descends until it makes contact with something. Only then does sucking effect begin. No damage dealt; only one can exist at once.
[0%] [Negative Squirtle's Run]
Aerial Neutral [Violet Frigidity]
Glows in many shades of purples and blues for a duration of one second. During this time, close contact causes freezing and damage. If subject lands on solid ground while under these effects, a stretch of ground the size of one platform is frozen and rendered slippery to others for ten seconds.
[8%]
Aerial Forward [Absorption Satellite]
Creation of small vortex right before him, quickly. Can then freely move it around him until one second is up. Powerful suction effect, short duration. Does not actively inflict harm, but can be chained into Violet Frigidity or Paradigm Replica, as attacks can still be executed out of it.
[0%] [Negative Wario on Bike]
Aerial Back [Paradigm Replica]
Shimmers kaleidoscopically and a replica of light is emitted, connected to original. Replica emerges from back without delay and causes pain and some distance on contact. After creation of replica, tilting of the control stick in either direction causes the real Galaxy Man to potentially move permanently into clone's position. Highly confusing.
[9%]
Aerial Up [Space Hop]
Only can be used if foe is directly above. Causes abrupt teleportation of subject to above foe, chaining into automated footstool. Highly effective at preventing gimps, with instantaneous execution but small window of effectiveness.
[3%]
Aerial Down [Impale Droid]
Causes release of small, drifting, round droid. Process of fabrication and release has duration of one second. Droid drifts in space aimlessly, maximum two in existence at once. On contact, extends spines abruptly, causing heavy damage. Highly dangerous; avoid until self-destruction, fifteen seconds later. Intercept creation if possible. Warning: vortex-affected.
[15%]
Special [Black Hole Bomb]
Causes middling-length release of compacted purple energy. This drifts, controlled by subject but constantly moving forward, for two seconds or until second B button input. Upon second input, suction commences, with duration of two seconds. Highly adaptable tool, often used to force contact with Impale Droids, Compression Missiles, and Probe Transmitters.
[0%] [Negative Squirtle's Run]
Special Forward [Reconfigured Droid]
Sounds of short circuiting signal start of attack. From an extended palm, round droid emerges, as Impale Droid. However, this one displays erratic, unpredictable movements. Counts as Impale Droid. Moves wildly until approaching a body; then beeps, flashing red, and detonates. Can exchange wiring and function with Impale Droid upon contact, causing confusion as to identity of approaching droid. Used often in conjunction with Impale and black holes to cause great damage and keep us off guard.
[16%]
Special Up [Gravity Reduction]
Subject strikes celestial pose. Following three seconds show largely reduced gravity; heightened jumps and float time, affecting both Galaxy Man and us. Often used previously to second jump.
[0%]
Special Down [Internal Magnetism]
Sudden convulsion causes yellow colour shift and sudden motion of all previously created droids/probes/missiles toward subject. Attraction lasts for duration of button input. No attraction on bodies or projectiles.
[0%] [Negative Mario's Walk]
LOG ENTRY 1.5 - PHENOMENON
Incredible new attack witnessed. Specimen confirmed as highly dangerous. Avoid at all costs.
Breaking of energies contained in spherical capsule causes creation of black hole overlapping targetted foe. Foe can still flee, unaffected by vortex; however, vortex attracts friendly and unfriendly projectiles with great speed. Attraction includes other black holes which pull foe back and various droids and missiles. Flee with great prejudice; highly suggested not to get caught in the first place. Pursuing black hole fades after twenty second duration.
[0%] [Negative Sonic's Run]
LOG ENTRY 1.6 – INTERCEPTED TRANSMISSION
The following combat briefing was intercepted, likely sent by Wily himself. Enclosed are instructions for subject on how to succeed. Must be hidden away at all costs.
You are not the same as everyone else. You are unique. Your most potent tool, the only tool you have that will allow you to have the advantage, are your black holes. These must be used to control the foe, liberally. Use them at every available moment, even if it serves no apparent function, and you’ll find victory rolling in for you. They are at their most effective when combined with your various droids and machines.
Your best KO method will be the two look-alike droids, which should be used in conjunction with black holes. Since they look so similar, and can exchange programming, they should keep the foe guessing, and on their toes, as they’re both so lethal. These droids should be a constant presence, limiting the foe’s potential movement. For maximal use, Down B will be vital. Get the foe between you and a droid, then use the Internal Magnetism. Throw in another black hole and you have a win-win situation.
Hover Mode should be employed often, as well. It allows you extra mobility and, of course, access to the missiles. It is also a prime way to recover horizontally, as, despite how easily it’s gimped, it essentially gives you infinite horizontal movement. Recovery in general is a weakness for you; Up B must always be used before the second jump. There is that period where it is easily gimped, but after you activate it, you can cover yourself from spikes from above with Up Aerial, which is an incredibly effective way of turning around a situation if timed properly.
KOing and racking damage are your two primary malfunctions, and perhaps your only ones. I have discussed KOs and the droids; however, for dealing damage, your own body will be your greatest tool. The attacks that cause colour shifts are efficient at racking it up and dishing it out; the challenge is landing them, with their low priority and horrible range. Again, vortexes save the day here; timing them and aiming them properly can lead to many sudden hits that the foe didn’t see coming.
You are different. To succeed, you must do things differently. You must keep the foe moving; their motions are more important than your own. You must keep creating droids and probes that limit the foe’s movements, then push them into what you just created. You must plan out every movement of your foe; everything must fall into place. If you obey me here, you will find that you can move anything anywhere, and that the most basic assumptions foes make about themselves can prove false at a moment’s notice.
LOG ENTRY 1.6 – MINOR FINDINGS
