This article is about Mega Man's appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. For the character in other contexts, see Mega Man.
Mega Man's standard and special moves use weapons copied from the bosses he's fought throughout the Mega Man series, so he has more projectiles than any other fighter. His Final Smash now features Proto Man and Bass!
Mega Man (ロックマン, Rockman) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, officially confirmed on June 12th, 2018. Mega Man is classified as fighter #46.
As with all veterans returning from Smash 4, Mega Man's model features a more subdued color scheme. Some of the mechanical details on his body are more pronounced.
Mega Man's metal areas also appear to show more of a shine.
Mega Man's Mega Buster now emits a small, blue ring-shaped particle upon firing. This resembles the effect present in Mega Man 8, Mega Man & Bass, and Mega Man 11.
Mega Man now opens his mouth a little while firing the Mega Buster on the ground, unlike in his own games.
Mega Man also has his mouth opened while shielding.
The victory animation where Mega Man fires two Mega Buster shots before posing is modified so he is running instead of falling from the sky.
The victory animation where he strikes his title screen pose from Rock Man, the Japanese version of the first Mega Man game, has been reanimated to be slightly slower.
Mega Man now shoots thrice into the air instead of twice in his standing victory animation.
Mega Man centers his eyes for a short while after using his forward tilt.
The ability to use any ground attack out of a run in Ultimate benefits the usage of Mega Man's Up tilt/Mega Upper, as combined with its sheer knockback, it can catch landings and punish opponents much more effectively for KOs.
Mega Upper deals more damage (clean: 17% -> 20.4%, mid: 12% -> 14.4%).
Forward smash/Charge Shot has more range, activates faster, and has less ending lag.
Charge Shot deals more damage (11% -> 13.8%).
Up smash/Spark Shot activates faster and has less ending lag. It also deals more damage (15.5% -> 19%).
Clean Down smash/Flame Blast deals more damage (17% -> 20.4%).
Dash attack/Top Spin deals more damage (11% -> 14.8%).
The explosion does a bit more damage (8% -> 9.6%).
Leaf Shield has a faster startup, less ending lag when thrown, it spins more quickly around Mega Man and the leaves don't vanish upon hitting opponents, and the shield can be thrown much faster.
Leaf Shield properly acts like a shield with projectiles now.
Leaf Shield is now thrown when the button is released, and will stay around Mega Man when the player holds the button down. Leaf Shield will be automatically thrown after a short while.
Leaf Shield no longer allows Mega Man to grab opponents or the ledge while the shield is activated.
Mega Man was among the fighters that were summoned to fight against the army of Master Hands.
During the opening cutscene, Mega Man was present on the cliffside when Galeem unleashed its beams of light. He was vaporized offscreen and placed under Galeem's imprisonment along with the other fighters, excluding Kirby. A puppet fighter cloned from him is later seen, alongside ones cloned from Mario, Pikachu, Palutena, and other fighters.
Due to an error, Mega Man's character showcase video was originally not accessible on his fighter page on the Ultimate website. The error has since been fixed.
Mega Man is the only third-party veteran with a new arrangement in their character showcase video, using a new remix of Wood Man’s stage music. Snake, Pac-Man, and Ryu use arrangements from previous games while Sonic, Cloud, and Bayonetta use music ported from their home games.
Mega Man can recover from a bit above the bottom blast zone with Rush, double jump, directional air dodge. He can make it all the way back up, skimming the bottom blast zone if there's a surface that he can walljump off of.
Mega Man's Boxing Ring alias is one of only three that have been completely changed in North America, the others being Link and Ryu.
Mega Man's pose in his official art is notably similar to his pose on the North American and European box art for Mega Man 7, albeit horizontally mirrored.
Mega Man also takes on a similar pose during his final smash.
