CS UPDATE: i'll be closing signups again 24 hours from now! it seems like the rate has slowed regardless, but now is your last chance!

Hello, i want to clarify me and Mushsect decided to grant another week to let people send their submissions in time, the deadline is updated, at the time i should have accounted for the fact some peeps have a very busy schedule, my oversight.

Quick update, CS S3 signups are being reopened, as captains attempt to find a time to begin the draft. We thank you all for your patience.

EDIT: I SHOULD SPECIFY WE'RE ONLY LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL PLAYERS AT THIS POINT, WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING FURTHER CAPTAIN SIGNUPS

VENICE'S BRIDGE ROBOT MASTER CLASS CONTEST!

Have you ever looked at the wide variety of robot master classes mods and wondered to yourself, “man I wish I could make and play as my OWN robot master OC in one of these.” Well, worry not, today is the day you very well might get a chance to.

What is this?

Through the efforts of Rick Edwardson and Mushsect, Venice's Bridge classes is bringing to you the VBRMCC, Venice's Bridge robot master class contest. Were you, yes you, can submit your very own original robot master class concept for the chance to be one of two winners and become part of VB classes. All you need to do is create a design or use a robot master design you already have made, whether it’d be through sprites or artwork. Create a class concept around it that fits the theme of the robot master design with a moveset that would be cool to play with. Just remember to take into account the rules of the contest and submit it before the deadline, so do start cooking your ideas.

What is VB or Venice’s Bridge?

Before we get into the details, I assume it’d be best to explain to you what VB or Venice Bridge is to those who are not privy to its existence.

Venice Bridge is a mod patch of the mod patch known as Gondola for the Classes mod. Which Gondola is a more competitive focused classes mod that aims for balance. However VB’s goal is to bring different and unique classes to Gondola that are from various fan games or different media transformed to be in theme with mega man. Starting years ago as a humgle "Quake woman dlc", it has expanded over time from just fan game robot masters to original robot masters by those in the mega man community to even multiverse based classes that take a spin on translating famous characters into robot masters you can play as, all for the fun of it, all for the hell of it.

The Contest Itself

So what’s all going down? Over time VB has built up a select set of 6 original character robot master classes, those being; Shard man, Viscera man, Bayonet, Rouge man, Blood woman, and Kabuto man. All selected and created with the permission of their respective owners. However, it takes 8 bots to make a full set minimum, so this contest was made to give the community a fun chance to get their bot in as well to fill out the last two slots. While there are only going to be 2 winners (with a small chance of a third one so long life grants me its permission), each person who submits is allowed to pick ONE of their submissions to appear in the accompanying maps as audience members as a participation prize. Getting 2 unique 5 rotation frame poses that match the map they are displayed in. These aforementioned maps are 6 in total and based off of the current 6 oc robot masters in VB! We hope you look forward to playing on them and seeing your little robot appear in the audience, as well wish to present decent maps that are designed for classes specifically. Additionally, the 2 winners will not only get their robot obviously made into a class for VB. They will also get a drawn art piece by Mush to match the contest’s logo art of the current 6 as a cute bonus.

Meet the Misfits!

Contest Rules and Submission Guidelines

While we are all for having fun with this contest, there are a select set of rules we’d like you to follow to make submissions streamlined and easier on ourselves to get through all your ideas.

The rules are as followed;
- No obvious derogatory content, please keep it clean
- Your class is open to be discussed and maybe have its core gameplay customized to adapt to the game if needed
- Each person can send up to 5 submissions, but must only select 1 as their preferred map cameo if your robot master does not win
- Submissions should at a bare minimum have a clear design identity (try to avoid stickmen scribbles), bonus point for providing a concept of class function and archetype of some form (ex/ tank support)
- Submissions will be accepted until 12/07.
- A.I. and stealing other’s art or editing other’s art without permission is disallowed and you will be auto disqualified.
