Undid edit by VittorioFGC: Again, Mega Man typically isn't voiced and he wasn't voiced in the prior Smash so VA is not relevant. This info belongs in Attributes, not here

-'''Mega Man''' ({{ja|ロックマン|Rokku man}}, ''Rockman'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', officially confirmed on June 12th, 2018. Mega Man is classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #46]]. Mega Man reuses the sounds from the NES games used in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' instead of being voiced by Benjamin Diskin, his voice actor from ''Mega Man 11''.

-Mega Man's greatest asset is his projectile game: his jab, forward tilt, neutral aerial allow him to fire shots from his Mega Buster and both his forward and down aerials are projectiles too. He also has the versatile [[Metal Blade]] for combos and [[Crash Bomber]] to put pressure on shielding opponents, giving him a great edgeguarding game and pressuring ability that make him difficult to approach and also reinforce his good grab game, with a powerful KO throw in his back throw and a good combo option in his down throw. Mega Man also has a good air game, with quick air movement, a versatile forward aerial, a quick and powerful back aerial, an excellent option to rack up damage and juggle opponents in his up aerial and a long-ranged meteor smash in his down aerial that can allow him to safely hit his opponents from below, and he has strong finishers like his up tilt and his down smash. Mega Man's endurance is solid thanks to his above average weight and great recovery: not only he moves quickly in the air, but his recovery move, [[Rush Coil]], grants him great vertical distance and doesn't leave him [[helpless]].
-However, Mega Man has slow mobility on the ground, and his close-range game is not very good, so fast characters like [[Fox]] and [[Sonic]] can overwhelm him, and while he has access to several disjointed attacks, their range is limited. His strongest moves like his up tilt and down smash are heavily punishable if he misses them, and his falling speed combined with his weight leave him vulnerable to combos, especially since he has no proper jab, his neutral aerial doesn't give him any protection around him and his down aerial is too slow. Mega Man's projectiles are also essential for his combos and game plan, so characters with a [[Reflection|reflector]] and other moves that nullify projectiles give him a hard time.

-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.

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.
