GAY ROBITSSS. tell us the Bass information

HIIIIIHIHIHIHI did you ever notice that even though purple is barely in bass' design at all hes associated with the color? this is most likely because hes always seen with treble! that, plus a lot of purple effects and auras are used in his sprites, as well as super/treble boost bass being purple. curiously, no one seems to associate bass with the color yellow, which is actually featured quite heavily in his design. and lastly on this color scheme conversation, bass' color scheme can be rather inconsistent. while most of the time the blue gems on his armor are, well, blue, they will occasionally be made more purple, as well as his usually red eyes sometimes being depicted as pink. the specific shades of black and yellow used in his design also change, but never the purple in his facial markings. that always seems to be the same. his skin tone has also changed occasionally, going from the same as rock's to slightly more tan. a good example of this "alternate color scheme" for bass is his illustrations from mega man & bass (which are my personal favorites. if i ever need to use an image of bass chances are i am grabbing one of those. what can i say, i love bass with pink eyes.)

during the release of mega man: battle & chase, certain infocards about characters were released! while these are generally not considered canon, bass' card had his birthday listed as april 10th. which is a pun! because april 10th is written in japan as 4/10 - four-ten. which sounds like forte. very silly i think. generally, bass' birthday is more accepted as march 24th, which is the release date of mega man 7 (bass' debut game.)

bass' moveset in rockman & forte influenced bass.exe's abilities in mega man battle network! which is very fun for me :) due to battle network being an inherently different game from the classic series, it's not the most obvious, but bass.exe's signature ability (other than copyability, of course) is rapid fire, which was added to bass' moveset in rockman & forte to differentiate his playstyle from mega man's.

final bass fact of the day: he's slightly taller than rock (you can notice this pretty easily by looking at his mega man 7 sprites), but from mega man 8 onward, he's consistently drawn and animated as being hunched over to be the same height as rock. this is because he was first made playable in mega man 8's versus mode (which sucks. don't worry about it) and thus, had to be the same height as rock so the collision and hitboxes would be the same for both of them. bass' hunched over posture is the most noticeable in his rockman & forte sprites, as they actually have an animation for him settling into this posture from his natural height.
