Pretty much all Proto would need here is too freeze Bass or close the gap somehow. Really whenether bass tries to go melee range, Blues would immediately turn the barrier on to pummel him. I think with Blues being such a strategic fighter, he would only use the barrier when it's clear it wouldn't just go to waste.
He can do it while stunning bass with something like concrete shot. Speaking of c. shot, MM9 weaponry is probably more useful than MM&B. It has petrification, black hole creation, a piercing laser attack, huge AoE wind attack, homing projectiles, a strong barrier protecting Blues from all sides and so on
I mean yeah but there isn't a rule against using DLC on profiles
Proto would realize how much of an advantage barrier is and would only use it then Bass can’t stall. Plus, stalling isn’t in character for bass’s agressice style he might just try to hit harder or something
That's not the only advantage Blues has. There's also higher physical strength, possibly stronger buster with the proto strike, higher experience, physical strength, a shield he can use to reflect Bass's attacks back at him and smarter. Meanwhile Bass has higher durability, mobility with treble boost and possibly a bit more useful weaponry if we don't count MM9 for Proto Man, but I'd say proto shield is better than them all
Does it? I honestly don't remember. But I think Blues will have enough time to overpower Bass while barrier is active
I disagree. Proto man's invincibility while tricky to use is a trump card if used at the right time. Bass closest equivalent to a trump card is treble boost, and while it is certainly useful, fight's gonna be mostly long ranged and Proto fought numerous opponents before. Bass has his advantages, but Proto's are imo more significant and the beat barrier seals the deal.
Well since it specifically allows him to shoot through walls I get so. Idk how it helps him here tho
Game mechanics. Just like how Mega Man shoots through walls, as you know. It's an upgrade for Bass cause of his own gameplay limitations so it shouldn't be taken seriously.
In a ranged fight I feel like Proto's shield along with the stronger buster (if you count Powered Up) would probably help him a lot. If Bass just goes up real high and just starts spamming the buster Proto's in for trouble yeah. But that's not really how Bass usually fights, he may easily get pissed and leeroy jenkins in CqC, in which Proto Man would trump him. Again, if Bass just abuses his mobility the only thing Proto can do is maybe use AoE like the tornado blow or something homing like the bees, with Bass just plainly having more options. Bass just won't likely do that since he isn't that strategic. Also, Blues will surely recognize the possibility of such a thread and try to defeat Bass quickly, while Bass himself enjoys fighting and will probably try to drag the fight.
Bass is also often blinded by his rage, and maybe he won't exactly drag the fight out, he wouldn't try to stomp Blues immediately with some funny bullshit, Blues is more willing to do so.
