'''BigMaster''' is a former beta tester for ''[[Mega Man Maker]]'' and a former moderator for the ''[[Mega Man Maker]]'' community services. He started out focusing primarily on the wiki but due to his interest on moderating other platforms and the team's shortage on staff at the time, he moved to also moderate the forums and the Discord server. He sought to address issues in the Mega Man Maker community. In the development team, he contributed with some additional sprites in addition to his work as a tester.
Concrete Shot is [[Concrete Man]]'s signature weapon, originating from ''[[Mega Man 9]]''. It is featured in ''[[Mega Man Maker]]'' as of version [[1.5.0]].


BigMaster applied for the role of Wiki moderator and was accepted in trial phase on July 14, 2019 alongside Justazag and [[ALUMOX]]. They applied on a moderator call opened that month due to the shortage of moderators in the team at the moment, especially in the forums and the Wiki. He and Justazag were ascended to full Wiki moderators on August 19, 2019. BigMaster worked with [[RollerC]] to update and overhaul the Wiki's policies. He would also work to expand the list and functions of wiki templates.
A blob of cement is hurled in a downward arc that can reach two tiles forward if fired while on the ground. Upon touching solid terrain, it will harden into a block that can be stood on by the user, and will crumble away after half a second of doing so. If the block is left alone, it will break down after three seconds instead. This block is fully solid unless spawned at the user's current location, and can obstruct certain hazards such as [[Force Beam]]s and [[Fan]]s. When enemies are defeated by Concrete Shot, they will turn into blocks, but cannot drop items as a result. If an airborne enemy is turned into a block, it will fall straight down, being able to crush other enemies and even [[bosses]] should they be below. [[Carricarry]], [[Petit Devil]], and [[Fire Totem]] can be defeated in one shot by this weapon.


Following RollerC's resignation on November 4, 2019, BigMaster decided to apply as a global moderator in order to get issues in the community solved faster. He was accepted as a trial forum and Discord moderator on November 26, 2019. He was ascended to full Discord moderator on January 5, 2020 alongside Midas Magnezone and full forum moderator on January 9, 2020. However, he decided to become less active in the middle of 2020 as a Discord moderator citing personal stress.
Another main feature of Concrete Shot is the ability to freeze the magma spewed from [[Magma Beam Generator]]s, making them safe to touch for four seconds. While the beam is still frozen, hitting it with [[Laser Trident]] will break it. While armored enemies will deflect shots as expected, blocks can still be formed on most reflective objects. Finally, blocks cannot be stacked on top of each other.


BigMaster made a forum thread with Frequently Asked Questions based on those in the Discord server in order to clarify some things for forum users, especially those who are not in the Discord server. In the Discord server, BigMaster modified the channel #mmm_streams to allow more kind of videos about Mega Man Maker being posted in the channel, renaming it #mmm_streams_and_videos. He also renamed the "MMM Streamer" role to "MMM Content Creator".
With the addition of [[Lava]] to Mega Man Maker in version [[1.8.4]], Concrete Shot is given a new interaction via creating solid blocks on Lava's surface. The blocks behave just as they do in any other instance, allowing the player to platform up on vertical Lava or horizontally across Lava segments.


BigMaster applied as a beta tester in a public call and was selected on August 23, 2020 alongside [[Doctor Lumen]], while [[Objectionable]] would be selected the next day. Previously, he made a Mega Man Maker mod where he tried to modify some tilesets to adjust them better with the autotiler, but he decided to discontinue its development and release wht he could do since he considered the task time-consuming and he wanted to have space for beta testing in case he was accepted.

BigMaster contributed to create the promotional image for the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlX3FGu7Ny8 Server upgrade announcement] along with [[BNMotive]] and [[Alex]]. While Alex made the initial drawing, BigMaster made the inking and initial digitalization, but due to difficulties coloring the image, BNMotive finished the image. In addition to that, BigMaster and Alex contributed to edit one of Dr. Light's poses to make him look angry as one of the sprites for the same announcement. In addition to making some NES and custom-made aesthetic assets, he also fixed some of the NES tilesets [[BushBacon]] submitted in 1.7.0.
==Trivia==
*Due to how the weapon functions, [[Pump Man]] can be easily defeated by turning one of the bubbles that make up his Water Shield into a block. If the block is above him when created it will instantly crush him.
*[[Spring Man]] can also be killed in one shot with it by turning his Wild Coils into blocks, but this requires more precision.  


BigMaster decided to leave the moderation team on October 28, 2020 due to personal reasons and feelings of outgrowing the position. He left the development team shortly before the release of [[1.7.4.2]] due to what he described as severe headaches.


He was accepted as a Challenge judge alongside D-Man, Random Met and phunguy06. He was also selected as member of the [[Wiki Strike Team]] to assist in the wiki's restoration after the server got damaged.

Concrete Shot is Concrete Man's signature weapon, originating from Mega Man 9. It is featured in Mega Man Maker as of version 1.5.0.

A blob of cement is hurled in a downward arc that can reach two tiles forward if fired while on the ground. Upon touching solid terrain, it will harden into a block that can be stood on by the user, and will crumble away after half a second of doing so. If the block is left alone, it will break down after three seconds instead. This block is fully solid unless spawned at the user's current location, and can obstruct certain hazards such as Force Beams and Fans. When enemies are defeated by Concrete Shot, they will turn into blocks, but cannot drop items as a result. If an airborne enemy is turned into a block, it will fall straight down, being able to crush other enemies and even bosses should they be below. Carricarry, Petit Devil, and Fire Totem can be defeated in one shot by this weapon.

Another main feature of Concrete Shot is the ability to freeze the magma spewed from Magma Beam Generators, making them safe to touch for four seconds. While the beam is still frozen, hitting it with Laser Trident will break it. While armored enemies will deflect shots as expected, blocks can still be formed on most reflective objects. Finally, blocks cannot be stacked on top of each other.

With the addition of Lava to Mega Man Maker in version 1.8.4, Concrete Shot is given a new interaction via creating solid blocks on Lava's surface. The blocks behave just as they do in any other instance, allowing the player to platform up on vertical Lava or horizontally across Lava segments.
