This article is about Mega Man's appearance in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. For other uses, see Mega Man.
Mega Man is the main protagonist from Capcom's eponymous series. He is the third non-Nintendo character to appear in the Super Smash Bros. series, following Solid Snake and Sonic the Hedgehog. He was revealed at E3 2013 and was the second newcomer to be revealed.
Attributes
Pros:
- Very versatile projectile game.
- Short stature gives him small hurtboxes.
- Forward Tilt allows him to move while shooting Mega Buster.
- Has some fast ground moves (Up and Down Tilts) that are good for spacing and dealing with close-combat.
- Good variety of multi-hit and single hit moves
- Fast Aerial Attacks.
- Has a powerful ranged Meteor Smash.
- Good at edgeguarding.
Cons:
- Lack of a proper Sex Kick Neutral Air for spacing.
- Not very good against fast characters that can pressure him or interrupt his projectiles.
- Few moves with KO Power aside his Smash Attacks and Up Tilt.
- Predictable recovery.
- Requires some proper spacing in order to be effective.
- All Smash Attacks have high ending lag.
Summary
In long range, Mega Man is a very versatile character. Mega Buster is fast, although not having high range, but can keep enemies at bay and interrupt their approaches. His Forward Tilt gives him this advantage as it's the only one in the game that can be used while walking. The Crash Bomber is good to distract the opponents, as they will either try to remove the bomb or shield it, giving a open spot to attack. His Leaf Shield, while overlooked by some players because it blocks most of his actions, it has good utility, being able to dish extra damage during grabs as well as blocking projectiles.
When enemies can reach Mega Man for close-combat, he as few tools that can help him knock them back, such as his Mega Upper (Up Tilt) and Slide (Down Tilt), that are fast enough to get enemies by surprise. He is also good on air, with his aerial attacks having great utility. Flame Sword (Forward Aerial) has high priority and a disjointed hitbox, while Slash Claw (Back Aerial) is a very fast multi-hit attack with powerful knockback by the end. In addition, his Air Shooter (Up Aerial) works similar to Mr. Game & Watch's Up Aerial by having a pushbox, but causes damage, in addition to hit multiple times. Finally, his Hard Knuckle (Down Aerial) is a solid Meteor Smash, and it's the only ranged Meteor Smash in the game.
One of Mega Man's problems, however, lies in his predictable recovery, relying only on Rush Coil to come back at the stage; and because of that he has no horizontal recovery. Also, when pressured, Mega Man has little to do, as characters such as Pit and Fox can reflect his projectiles and punish him easily. His lack of proper KO'ing moves allied with the fact that his Smash Attacks have high ending lag, specially Up and Down Smashes (as his arms have to vent), makes Mega Man a hard character to kill with.
