—Introduction Tagline

Mega Man (ロックマン, Rockman) is a newcomer in Super Smash Bros. 4. He was announced at Nintendo's E3 Direct Conference presentation for the game. It has been said that he does not widely use hand-to-hand combat, but relies on a large arsenal of weaponry. This is somewhat analogous to, but to a further extent than, Snake in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Known moveset

Mega Man was shown using moves based on those he copied from defeated Robot Masters in his own series. The abilities shown are:

  • Metal Blade, his neutral special move. It is a thrown sawblade that can be thrown in 8 different directions, and picked up and tossed by players as items.
  • Crash Bomber, his side special move. This is a projectile that sticks to opponents and explodes. Like the Gooey Bomb, it can be transferred between characters.
  • Leaf Shield, his down special move, produces orbiting leaves that can later be fired forwards.
  • Hard Knuckle, his down aerial, is a projectile meteor smash.
  • Flame Sword, a quick forward aerial attack.
  • Slash Claw, a quick back aerial attack.
  • Super Arm, which is his regular grab.
  • Top Spin, his dash attack, causes Mega Man to quickly spin forwards on the ground, damaging whatever he touches.[1]
  • Up smash - Spark Shock, where Mega Man turns his hands into electrodes and creates a powerful electric shock above him.[1]
  • Down smash - Flame Blast, which creates 2 pillars of fire next to Mega Man, damaging foes. Consists of multiple hits.[1]
  • Side smash - Charge Shot, a projectile that Mega Man charges and fires, disappearing with distance.
  • Final Smash - calls in 4 alternate incarnations of Mega Man, all 5 charge their busters and perform a powerful merged energy shot.

Aside from these named abilities, other moves shown are:

  • The Mega Buster, a rapid-fire weak projectile that can be fired while standing, running, or jumping.
  • A sliding kick, his down tilt, slides a reasonable distance.
  • The Mega Upper from Marvel vs. Capcom, his up tilt, is a jumping uppercut, based on the Shoryuken from the Street Fighter series.

In a demonstration battle between Mega Man and Mario, Mega Man can be seen to use a couple other moves[2]:

  • Rush Coil, his up special move. Mega Man bounces off Rush jumping high in the air, presumably his up special move.
  • Air Shooter, his up aerial attack, used to fire a tornado upwards.
  • What appears to be a taunt, where Mega Man warps out and immediately back on the stage, similar to his warping animation in the classic Mega Man games.

Trivia

  • Mega Man is shown to have a slightly different KO explosion, the only character shown so far in Smash 4 to have this feature. Instead of just a single blast of the color of the player port, he also splits into blue orbs in a similar fashion to when he loses all of his health or lands on spikes/lava in Mega Man 1 and Mega Man 2.
  • The promotional poster artwork of Mega Man used on the Smash 4 website mirrors the style of several Mega Man game covers and posters, such as the Japanese Mega Man 7 boxart, in which Mega Man stands in front of a group of allies and/or Robot Masters with the main antagonist looking over from the top.
