Mega Man: Difference between revisions

'''{{plain link|[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Metal_Blade Metal Blade]}}''' is Mega Man's standard special move, originating from ''[[wikipedia:Mega Man 2|Mega Man 2]]'' as the weapon obtained by defeating Metal Man. When used, Mega Man throws a metal sawblade that deals little damage at opponents. Like the game of origin the Metal Blade can be thrown in eight directions by tapping the control stick in the corresponding direction after pressing the special attack button, but only one can be thrown at a time. The Metal Blade also acts like an item in that other players can pick up and throw a Metal Blade.

The first custom variant for this move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' is '''{{plain link|[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Hyper_Bomb Hyper Bomb]}}''', Bomb Man's weapon in the original ''[[wikipedia:Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]''. When used, Mega Man throws a bomb at an arc in the direction he is facing that damages opponents on contact, and explodes as soon as it hits ground. The second variant is '''{{plain link|[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_Blade Shadow Blade]}}''', Shadow Man's weapon from ''[[wikipedia:Mega Man 3|Mega Man 3]]''. Mega Man throws a shuriken at opponents that travels a set distance before returning to him, allowing for multiple hits; while it can be thrown in eight directions, it cannot be picked up by opponents, as the Shadow Blade disappears as soon as it hits a wall or the ground.

'''{{plain link|[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Crash_Bomber Crash Bomber]}}''' is Mega Man's side special move. Originally Crash Man's weapon from ''Mega Man 2'', it can be used by holding the control stick to the sides and pressing the special attack button. When used, Mega Man fires a bomb that travels across the screen. When it hits an opponent or a wall, it behaves like a [[Gooey Bomb]], sticking to them for a few seconds before detonating; it can also be passed to other players by running into them. Mega Man can only shoot one Crash Bomber at a time.

'''{{plain link|[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Rush Rush Coil]}}''' is Mega Man's up special move. First appearing as one of Rush's abilities in ''Mega Man 3'', it has since become a staple throughout the classic ''Mega Man'' series. When used, Mega Man summons Rush to launch him into the air using a spring on his back. If Rush is summoned on the ground, Mega Man can spring off of him a second time for a second, higher jump; however, other fighters may also jump on Rush while he is summoned.

In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', the first custom variant for this move is '''{{plain link|[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Tornado_Hold Tornado Hold]}}''', the special weapon obtained for defeating Tengu Man in ''[[wikipedia:Mega Man 8|Mega Man 8]]''. When used, Mega Man creates a tornado that launches him into the air and damages nearby opponents. The second variant for this move is '''{{plain link|[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Beat Beat]}}''', another recurring character in the ''Mega Man'' series starting with ''[[wikipedia:Mega Man 5|Mega Man 5]]''; when used, Mega Man summons Beat to carry him into the air for a limited time; Mega Man can also move from side to side while flying, but cannot stop flying once Beat has been used.

'''{{plain link|[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Leaf_Shield Leaf Shield]}}''' is Mega Man's down special move, originally appearing as Wood Man's special weapon in ''Mega Man 2''. When used, Mega Man creates a barrier of four leaves around himself that can protect him for a limited time. Like in the game of origin, Mega Man can also throw the shield to attack opponents. When the barrier is attacked, the leaves disappear one at a time.

In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', the first custom variant of this move is '''{{plain link|[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Skull_Barrier Skull Barrier]}}''', Skull Man's special weapon in ''[[wikipedia:Mega Man 4|Mega Man 4]]''. When this move is used, Mega Man creates a barrier of flaming skulls that reflect projectiles, though the barrier does not last as long. The second variant is '''{{plain link|[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Plant_Barrier Plant Barrier]}}''', the weapon obtained from Plant Man in ''[[wikipedia:Mega Man 6|Mega Man 6]]''; Mega Man creates a barrier of petals around him that provide greater defense, though it does not travel as far when thrown.

'''Mega Legends''' is Mega Man's [[Final Smash]]. After breaking a [[Smash Ball]] and activating the Final Smash, Mega Man fires a {{plain link|[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Hole_Bomb Black Hole Bomb]}}, Galaxy Man's weapon from ''[[wikipedia:Mega Man 9|Mega Man 9]]'', which travels across the screen and opens automatically once it reaches a short distance. The Black Hole is wide and draws in opponents, but if no opponents are in range, the attack fails. The trapped opponents are brought to a cutscene where Mega Man, {{plain link|[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Mega_Man_X_(character) Mega Man X]}}, {{plain link|[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/MegaMan.EXE MegaMan.EXE]}}, {{plain link|[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Mega_Man_Volnutt Mega Man Volnutt]}}, and the Mega Man from ''[[wikipedia:Mega Man Star Force|Mega Man Star Force]]'' fire a continuous stream of lasers at the opponents, dealing massive damage. At the end of the attack, the opponents are launched and Mega Man returns to the battlefield. Additionally, if the opponents have taken enough damage, the Black Hole launches them instantly without going through the cutscene.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', {{plain link|[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Proto_Man Proto Man]}} and {{plain link|[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Bass Bass]}} join the group for the Final Smash.<ref name=E32018Direct/>

*In the character's backstory, the helper robot was originally named Rock before being converted into the super fighting robot, Mega Man; however, in the North American version of ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', Dr. Light's [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] description instead suggests that he was formerly known as Mega, which is a nickname only used as his initial designation as an assistant in the PlayStation Portable remake ''[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Mega_Man_Powered_Up Mega Man Powered Up]''. This is generally considered a localization error as Mega does not match his sister Roll (as in {{wp|rock and roll}}), and is corrected to Rock in the PAL version.
