Honestly I still can't believe Mega Man is in Smash. Along with the other 3rd party characters, the fact that all of these iconic game characters are in one fighting game still boggles my mind.
So in brief: Megaman is a zoner and an anti-zoner at the same time, he’s strong against other zoners but struggles against rushdowns. Use his lemons to pester your enemy, they’ll hate you for it tho. Use specials to attack from full screen. Arials to chase your opponent. Smashes to punish and never forget that his up tilt kills. Is that an accurate summary?
Mega Man’s a pretty good character in the game, but just imagine the terror if you could play as X. He’s literally built to be superior to the classic in every way.
I’m super glad I found this. Thank you for making these. I’m trying to get my friend into smash and they said they wanted to play my favorite character. So I suggest mega man. They thought about it and came back and said “I’d like to play the blue bomber, sure why not”
I watch Mega Man videos all the time. The all recommend picking up the Metal Blade and throwing it but you are actually the first person to explain why. Thank you.
I'm glad to hear that the Crash Bomber actually has a use, I thought it was practically a special to never be used because opponents can easily just shield the bomb effect. For some reason, I didn't think of using it to bait out shield and grab 'em. I also didn't know that you could use it for ledge guarding.
Love it but I would try to avoid using bowser jr for training mode because his passive damage resistance/ increased damage taken. Makes it a little confusing
0:40 there’s a few things wrong with that though. The MegaMan originally called rock man was not given his name because of the rock ‘n’ roll thing it was actually because of the rock paper scissors nature of the game. There was also consideration given to calling him rainbow man because of the color change he went through every time he switched abilities. And truthfully Capcom didn’t have faith in the mega man series. Because the first one did poorly, they would have just shelved the idea and that would’ve been it. The only reason there was ever a sequel was because The programmers liked the first one and wanted to have a second chance of the sequel. they were given the go ahead, but only under the condition that it only be done on their spare time. It was only with the success of MegaMan 2 that Capcom started truly seeing its potential as a franchise.
What a coincidence! The two characters that appear in this video are my two Smash 4 mains! I mained Bowser Jr when Smash 4 came out, but eventually gave him up for Mega Man.
His forward smash is also really good for catching ledge get ups, if you time it you can hit jumps, normal get ups, get up attacks, and rolls. Thanks to its range and hitbox it also hits opponents ON ledge
*_The lemons dominate the battle. Lemons are the main source of energy. Not solar power, not hydraulic power, not even nuclear power, but lemons. Lemons are the one source of sustenance._*
Hey relatively new to smash and this video was very helpful getting into this character! I really appreciate how you make it easy to understand for inexperienced peiole
I’ve been putting on a lil practice with Mega Man. Problem is that the meta is so sword based so mega man a character who needs either be in your face or keep you distanced can’t deal with characters like Roy and Chrom that can swiftly ledge pressure you. I like Mega Man but too many sweat heads around here lol
Mega Man really is fun to use but I feel like the only thing missing that should’ve been added would be the ability to rapid fire his neutral attacks like he was able to in his games by holding the fire button but it’s not included for some reason
In his games he can have up to three shots on screen so once you Hit your opponent you can Spam this thing like crazy. In smash that would be infinite stunlock if you didn't have the cooldown.
The one thing that makes me wonder about Megaman is how does he pummel exactly? Is he like squeezing the opponent or does he have a screw inside his hand that pinpoints the backs of them
Great video, but using BJ as a dummy for a character breakdown can give innacurate percentages, as his clown car takes less damage while he takes more. But it was very helpful,
Mega man is one of my favorite characters! I'also main him in adventure mode by just beating galeem in two tries oh yeah and did i'forgot to say his up smash is just like sticking an electrified stick to your opponent? And thank you for this guide i'll use this in adventure mode thank you!.
please nintendo... yes i have no idea of the actual mega man games and ive never played them BUT i (for some reason) wanted megaman since n64 in super smash bros. so: for the second dlc, please give us one of the other mega man chars - no idea whats there but this chars mechanics are SO fun. would love to see one of the teen looking chars that appear when you activatehis super :D
Sometimes you can open up with saw, down throw and like 4 fairs leading into a dair off stsge. It's hard to hit unless you do it unexpectedly but it's dirty of it hits.
@@beanfarkle so I used to main greninja then I changed to piranha plant but I can't change my pic for some reason I now main mega Man and it's messed up
Ive found a new way to ledgeguard with megaman. You know that flame blast has a long lasting hitbox? The last moments of the hitbox hit below ledge so no more ledge grapping
His up air can kill pretty early if you chain 2 together like up air 2 times in the air you can take them to the top of the stage and kill at low percents
What is forward air or backward air? The directions someone gets knocked? It only makes me more confused when you say it since I’m not exactly used to the terms
I've been maining my childhood hero since smash 4. And he's super easy to use, I'm good. But not that good. My cousin says I'm not using megaman's full potential. And i should work on my air recover when I'm thrown off the stage. Combos are good but need practice more.
Mega man really got shafted. I mean byleths neutral B is basically Marth’s final smash across the entire screen. Covers the whole field instantly once charged. Meanwhile none of megaman’s projectiles can reach further than a few feet in front of him.
I get people with the rush coil almost every single time. It’s very frustrating to deal with. Also if you jump and then use rush coil just below their respawn pad, they basically can’t avoid it at all
You should also mention that his mega buster has a sweet spot if you hit up close and in the air. Also, short hop up air fast fall is a really effective kill move that works on taller characters even when grounded.
Who are we covering next week?
Dark pit and Pit
Please, I wanna main him better
Corrin please. No one does anything on her but she seems pretty interesting.
Samus & Dark Samus
I’d love to see Duck Hunt or Ryu/Ken

Wow, Mega Man’s idle animation must have taken forever to animate.
Omg so true, i feel bad for the animtors
Did you know that mega mans idle animation is actually 3 seperate frames?
That would take a whole lot of math and animating for me to do
it probably took longer than Steve's
Very faithful to his games tho
Getting kills with Mega Man’s up air is the most satisfying kills.
I agree with you
robert kristiansen agree
I agree, it's so sweet to land, but induces so much salt.
The best of both worlds 😂
Exactly! I love it. The opponent has nowhere to go, slowing rising up into the air
Agreed. But nearly matched by that beefy up tilt.
For those that are wondering, the button for Z-drop is more accurately the grab button.
Thanks dude👍
Honestly I still can't believe Mega Man is in Smash. Along with the other 3rd party characters, the fact that all of these iconic game characters are in one fighting game still boggles my mind.
Exactly, when I sit back and think about it it's still mind boggling
Now we need Crash Bandicoot

Seems accurate. One way I can describe it is constant zoning and pressure then just fish for a kill move once they’re a higher percent
Mega man's games have the dopest soundtracks.
*Sonic
*thunder force
Bruh
*Shrek 4*
Especially the zero series imo
Mega man really is true to his original games
No, because the top spin actually does something

How To Play Pac-Man
I do often play Pac-Man, I just want more people to know of his epicness
I picked up pac man a while ago and he’s honestly a great character to play with
Pacman main here!
And I'd love to see that
He made one
He's great at forcing people to go his own pace. The mix up game with his neutral B is kinda an untapped market in my opinion
Little fun tip here.. Lemons don’t stop cannon balls and spikes but metal blade will. Metal blade will even send DDD’s spike back at him.
What a coincidence! The two characters that appear in this video are my two Smash 4 mains! I mained Bowser Jr when Smash 4 came out, but eventually gave him up for Mega Man.

Just a lil something I’ve picked up is when versing Mario be careful with the leaf throw as Mario can use side b to shoot it back at you
A close, aerial megabuster can actually kill at very high percents
Ive killed with it at 60-70% offstage, pretty nuts
@@d.s.alcoda ye same, probably made it do lots of damage so it could actually be considered a Nair
Well... basically everything will kill at high percents... kinda vague
I’ve been putting on a lil practice with Mega Man. Problem is that the meta is so sword based so mega man a character who needs either be in your face or keep you distanced can’t deal with characters like Roy and Chrom that can swiftly ledge pressure you.

Sadness
Swordies need to be nerfed, so i can play the fun characters
I slide and spam long range and his fire swords when i vs swordsmen except link
Mega Man really is fun to use but I feel like the only thing missing that should’ve been added would be the ability to rapid fire his neutral attacks like he was able to in his games by holding the fire button but it’s not included for some reason
I would like to give a shoutout for the Mega Man Medley 2 to convince me to main Mega Man. That theme is straight up fire 🔥
I think we wanna see our boy Roy next week
Thanks for the tips. I feel amazing at Megaman.
I feel like he should’ve been able to rapid fire his Megabuster by holding the attack button like he does in his games
Mega Man can't hold to keep shooting in his own games, he can only fire as fast as you can press the button.
He cant rapid fire by holding the button in his games
In his games he can have up to three shots on screen so once you Hit your opponent you can Spam this thing like crazy. In smash that would be infinite stunlock if you didn't have the cooldown.
"... And plays well against projectile spammers."

What is forward air or backward air? The directions someone gets knocked? It only makes me more confused when you say it since I’m not exactly used to the terms
the forward air is an air attack used when inputting in the direction you are facing. back air is the opposite
