Mega Man is a short, | Mega Man is a short, heavyweight character. He has slightly above average walking speed, below average dashing speed, the 19th fastest air speed (tied with {{SSBU|Duck Hunt}}, {{SSBU|Sheik}}, {{SSBU|Cloud}}, {{SSBU|Lucas}}, and {{SSBU|Bowser}}), is tied with {{SSBU|Wario}} for the 26th highest gravity, low traction, the 11th fastest falling speed (tied with {{SSBU|Young Link}}, {{SSBU|Roy}}, {{SSBU|Chrom}}, {{SSBU|Wolf}}, and {{SSBU|Falco}}), and is tied with [[Rosalina & Luma (SSBU)|Rosalina]] for the 6th fastest air acceleration. Thus, he is aerodynamic in terms of movement and for his weight has decent mobility. As in his home series, Mega Man's moveset relies heavily on various [[projectiles]], giving his attacks unusual functions and characteristics. This extends beyond his special moves and into his standard moveset. For his neutral attack, he fires shots from his Mega Buster, and for his forward tilt, he fires shots from his Mega Buster while walking. His up tilt, the Mega Upper, or [[Shoryuken]] as called by commentators, is a jumping uppercut, and his down tilt is a forward slide. | ||
Despite having an unusual set of moves, Mega Man shines in [[approach]]ing while spacing opponents at midrange and disrupting any approaches, for he has two projectiles that can cause opponents to react predictably: [[Metal Blade]]'s ability to be thrown in eight directions and trapping opponents in high [[hitstun]] makes it a fantastic [[mindgame]] and [[shield]]-baiting tool, while [[Crash Bomber]] can cause panicky opponents to run towards Mega Man or shield the explosion. Both projectiles easily lead to a grab [[punish]] as Mega Man owns a great grab combo ability, having a fast grab and many of his attacks connecting reliably after a throw. This allows him to rack up damage easily once he grabs an opponent. He does not have much trouble KOing once his opponents are damaged either, for he has many finishing options ranging from his up tilt to his forward and back aerials to his projectile-based forward smash, which can be used to [[edgeguard]]. His other projectiles are terrific, notably his aerials; up aerial can rack up damage very quickly and KO early if an opponent is high up, and his down aerial is one of the safest meteor smashes in the game. To top it all off, Mega Man is a fantastic [[spacing|spacer]]: his jab is a fast and useful projectile (that can be used while moving and jumping) which interrupts most attacks and weak projectiles at a safe range, and when combined with Metal Blades and Crash Bombs makes Mega Man difficult to approach, while also keeping the opponent away from him. He also has a great grab and throw game, with down throw being a reliable combo starter, up throw being useful for pressuring and juggling, and a back throw with great power, KOing reliably. Due to his amazing pressuring ability and grab game, characters without a projectile or with low [[range|reach]] can have trouble approaching without being severely punished. Even if he does get knocked around, Mega Man is [[weight|a semi-heavyweight character]], weighing only slightly less than {{SSBU|Ryu}}, meaning he is more likely to survive potentially lethal blows that could KO a lighter character, especially with proper [[DI]] and his good recovery move, [[Rush Coil]], which does not leave him helpless. | Despite having an unusual set of moves, Mega Man shines in [[approach]]ing while spacing opponents at midrange and disrupting any approaches, for he has two projectiles that can cause opponents to react predictably: [[Metal Blade]]'s ability to be thrown in eight directions and trapping opponents in high [[hitstun]] makes it a fantastic [[mindgame]] and [[shield]]-baiting tool, while [[Crash Bomber]] can cause panicky opponents to run towards Mega Man or shield the explosion.

Mega Man has been buffed overall in the transition from ''SSB4'' to ''Ultimate''. Though he has lost the main tools he had to accumulate damage, he has seen a general improvement to his moveset to help compensate, and gameplay changes have been benefitial to him in bulk. | Mega Man has been greatly buffed overall in the transition from ''SSB4'' to ''Ultimate''. Though he has lost the main tools he had to accumulate damage, he has seen a general improvement to his moveset to help compensate, and gameplay changes have been benefitial to him in bulk. | ||
Mega Man's [[projectile]] game has been generally improved. His Mega Buster shots ([[neutral attack]], [[forward tilt]] and [[neutral aerial]]), a staple of his [[neutral game]], cover a longer distance, allowing him to apply more pressure from afar, and [[forward smash]] has longer range and much less ending lag, enabling it to be used much more safely as a disjointed KO option. [[Crash Bomber]] travels faster and has had its knockback reduced to the point where combos led from it are more consistent at a wider array of percentages (though this does come at the cost of its KO power). [[Leaf Shield]] activates significantly faster, hits opponents at a quicker rate (thus dealing more damage), and the leaves no longer | Mega Man's [[projectile]] game has been generally improved.

[[Leaf Shield]] activates significantly faster, hits opponents at a quicker rate (thus dealing more damage), and the leaves no longer disappearing on hit. | ||
His close-up game has been improved as well, as his [[dash attack]] deals more damage and connects more reliably, and his [[forward aerial]] has decreased landing lag with considerably more knockback, allowing it to combo at lower percents and KO reliably at higher percents, while also making it safer on shield. Other buffs include those to [[Rush Coil]], which no longer incurs a high amount of landing lag, noticeably improving Mega Man's [[recovery]] mixups, as he can now safely land onstage with the move instead of having to grab the ledge. | His close-up game has been improved as well, as his [[dash attack]] deals more damage and connects more reliably, and his [[forward aerial]] has decreased landing lag with considerably more knockback, allowing it to combo at lower percents and KO reliably at higher percents, while also making it safer on shield.

Alongside his direct buffs, Mega Man | Alongside his direct buffs, Mega Man benefits drastically from the universal changes in ''Ultimate''. The ability to [[run-cancel]] with any ground attack gives him more opportunities to land his powerful [[up tilt]], and his overall faster mobility alongside the nerfs to [[air dodge]]s allow him to challenge and pressure opponents more effectively with his projectiles, especially his [[up aerial]] to juggle them. The reintroduction of directional air dodges also further improves Mega Man's recovery, as due to Rush Coil not leaving him helpless, he can use a directional air dodge after it for additional distance. | ||
However, Mega Man is not without nerfs. His forward smash has much less power when fully charged, which makes it a less rewarding option and compensates for its improved ease of use. Mega Man can no longer [[shield]], [[grab]], throw items or hang from ledges while using Leaf Shield, making it riskier to use offstage. In terms of universal gameplay changes, [[footstool]]s can now be [[tech]]ed, making his well-known footstool combos and [[lock|jab lock]] and KO setups much less consistent. The general increases in mobility also affect other veterans as much as they affect Mega Man, | However, Mega Man is not without nerfs.

His zoning capabilities remain just as strong if not more so, which is especially important since the game favors more aggressive playstyles, allowing Mega Man to nevertheless dictate the flow of the match. Game updates have brought nerfs to Mega Man, however, which did affect some of his early viability. Regardless, he performs better than in ''SSB4'' and remains a viable character. | ||

Immense knockback when hit with the first frames of the hitbox, which can KO starting at 60% when fully [[charge]]d. It boasts incredible power, being one of the strongest down smashes in the game.
