'''Mega Man''' ({{ja|ロックマン|Rokku man}}, ''Rockman'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', being officially confirmed on June 12th, 2018 alongside the rest of the returning roster. Mega Man is classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #46]]. He reuses the sounds that were used in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.

Mega Man is ranked 47th out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing him towards the center of the B- tier. Despite being buffed, this is a small downturn from his previous placement in ''SSB4'', being ranked 27th out of 54. Mega Man is a projectile-heavy fighter, with a myriad of built-in projectiles in his normal moveset. Such examples include his Mega Buster (neutral attack, forward tilt and neutral aerial), forward smash, and up and down aerials, with all his non-projectile normals serving other effective purposes, such as setups (back aerial) or being outright powerful (down smash and up tilt). His specials wrap up his projectile game nicely, with effective setup tools in [[Metal Blade]] and [[Crash Bomber]] and defensive disruption in [[Leaf Shield]]. He also has a great recovery and strong survivability due to his strong aerial mobility, above average weight and a long-distanced recovery option in [[Rush Coil]] that doesn't make him [[helpless]]. Combined, Mega Man has an outstanding zoning game, allowing for a strong camping playstyle.

Despite these numerous strengths, Mega Man has several flaws. He is one of the easiest characters to combo and juggle due to his weight and status as a fast-faller, and difficulty landing due to having few effective combo breakers. Mega Man's overreliance on projectiles also means he struggles against characters who have small hitboxes, rushdown gameplans, and especially [[reflection]] and [[absorption]] abilities, who can greatly hinder or shut down his entire gameplan. While Mega Man has fast air mobility, his lackluster [[dashing]] speed limits his options on the ground, and his strongest attacks suffer from generally high startup or ending lag, which make them quite risky. Finally, some of his moveset can be inconsistent with connecting, with examples such as up smash, Leaf Shield and Mega Buster normals being prone to dropping opponents early, adding to his already lacking close range options.

Overall, Mega Man can apply a lot of pressure with his various projectiles and his strong zoning game; however, he often struggles when his defenses are broken. Early results from Mega Man were strong thanks to {{Sm|Kameme}}, who placed highly at several majors and supermajors. Although Mega Man's representation suffered after Kameme switched to {{SSBU|Sora}}, dedicated mains such as {{Sm|Peabnut}} and {{Sm|Repo}} have continued to produce solid results for him.

==How to unlock==
Complete one of the following:
*Play [[VS. match]]es, with Mega Man being the 42nd character to be unlocked.
*Clear {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} with {{SSBU|Pikachu}} or any character in its unlock tree, being the 4th character unlocked after {{SSBU|R.O.B.}}
*Have Mega Man join the player's party in [[World of Light]].
Mega Man must then be defeated on [[Wily Castle]] (the [[Ω form]] is used in World of Light).

==Attributes==
Mega Man is a short, [[weight|heavyweight]] character who deviates himself in terms of attributes compared to his fellow heavyweights. He has slightly above-average [[walk]]ing speed, average [[dash]]ing 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.

Regardless of his good grab game and punishing options, Mega Man still has some flaws to counter his strengths. Since his projectiles are imperative in initiating combos, he suffers against opponents with [[Reflection|reflector]]s or other methods to render his projectiles ineffective, such as the {{SSBU|Villager}} and {{SSBU|Isabelle}}'s [[Pocket]]. His low speed and ending lag on his non-projectile moves significantly limit his approach. He lacks options in keeping away foes up close, with no actual melee jab or quick standard attacks to knock them away. Because most of his strongest attacks suffer from either noticeable startup or ending lag, Mega Man works best at mid-range, where his attacks can connect safely, though at the cost of giving opponents a good amount of time to react to any of his attacks, somewhat making his finishers predictable.

In essence, Mega Man is a very versatile, medium-ranged projectile fighter who has no trouble spacing opponents, though KO attempts can be risky for him as he suffers slightly at close range due to the lag of his attacks. He has to use his effective spacing and grab punish options to rack up damage at medium range while keeping his distance until the opponent is weak enough to risk using one of his slow yet powerful finishing moves. This causes Mega Man to be patient in his game plan, with him having to wait for one opening to take out stocks effectively.

==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
Mega Man has seen a mix of buffs and nerfs in the transition from ''SSB4'' to ''Ultimate''. Though he has seen a general improvement to his moveset, he has lost the main tools he had to accumulate damage in the previous game; gameplay changes compound both the good and bad points.

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), and it now explodes on contact with enemies when it latches on to a surface, improving its use as a pressure option. [[Leaf Shield]] activates significantly faster, hits opponents at a quicker rate (thus dealing more damage), and the leaves no longer disappear 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.

However, Mega Man is not without a few direct 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 and reducing its versatility.

The universal gameplay changes bring both improvements and downgrades for Mega Man, but hinder him overall. The reintroduction of directional air dodges improves Mega Man's already good recovery, as Rush Coil's lack of a helpless state lets him use a directional air dodge afterwards for additional distance. The ability to [[run-cancel]] with any ground attack gives him more opportunities to land his powerful [[up tilt]]. 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, but also make his disadvantage state worse due to his lack of options to break out of combos. While the general increases in mobility allow Mega Man to close in on opponents more easily to harass them, this also allows them to overcome him if not played carefully, made worse by, again, his vulnerability to combos. However, the biggest nerf comes from the changes to [[footstool]]s, as the ability to [[tech]] them makes his well-known footstool combos and [[lock|jab lock]] and KO setups much less consistent.

Altogether, Mega Man's entire arsenal is generally more potent at racking up damage, and his zoning capabilities remain strong, but this has come at the cost of his famous footstool combos, and the game's faster pace favors more aggressive playstyles, allowing faster characters to more easily overcome him, meaning he must keep playing carefully to avoid letting the opponent catch up to him. Game updates have also brought nerfs to Mega Man, which did affect his early performance. When combined with game updates' changes to other characters and the introduction of other powerful DLC characters, while Mega Man doesn't perform better or worse than in ''SSB4'' as a standalone character, he is slightly worse relative to the cast in ''Ultimate''.

{{SSB4 to SSBU changelist|char=Mega Man}}

==Update History==
Mega Man has been given buffs and nerfs, but was nerfed overall in game updates. Update 2.0.0 made it so Mega Man could no longer use his special moves when jumping and using his neutral attack/forward tilt. Update 3.0.0. made his neutral attack, forward tilt, neutral aerial, and Metal Blade deal less shield damage. His Leaf Shield was also slightly nerfed, giving it more startup and ending lag, on top of making it so Mega Man cannot throw items while Leaf Shield is active, lowering its damage and combo potential. On the flip side, his up smash was buffed, giving the last hit more base knockback.

In update 8.0.0, his rolling tech was given one more frame on ending lag, making it standardized with the rest of the cast. 

Update 13.0.1, the final character adjustment patch, gave Mega Man a small amount of buffs. His dash attack was given one frame less startup and ending lag, down smash was granted more downward range, and Crash Bomber deals more damage. 

Overall, Mega Man does fare worse than how he did at the beginning of ''Ultimate'', but nonetheless continues to gain good results and remain a viable character.

==Moveset==

''For a gallery of Mega Man's hitboxes, see [[Mega Man (SSBU)/Hitboxes|here]].''

{{MovesetTable
|game=SSBU
|neutralcount=1
|neutralname=Mega Buster ({{ja|ロックバスター|Rokku Basutā}}, ''Rock Buster'')
|neutral1dmg=2% (shot), 1% (buster)
|neutraldesc=Fires up to three shots from his Mega Buster, which have a fairly long range but do little knockback. The pellets have very high priority, being able to even nullify {{SSBU|Corrin}}'s [[Dragon Fang Shot]] in one go. The move has a [[Sweet spot (hitbox)|sweetspot]] around the Mega Buster itself.
|ftiltname=Mega Buster ({{ja|ロックバスター|Rokku Basutā}}, ''Rock Buster'')
|ftiltdmg=2%
|ftiltdesc=Behaves identically to Mega Man's neutral attack, except the Mega Buster itself has no hitbox, and Mega Man fires while running forwards. Jumping after firing twice will immediately transition to neutral aerial, and can combo consistently as well.
|utiltname=Mega Upper ({{ja|ロックアッパー|Rokku Appā}}, ''Rock Upper'')
|utiltdmg=17% (clean), 12% (mid), 8% (late)
|utiltdesc=A quick-rising uppercut. For a tilt, it has incredible power and vertical range, with the sweetspot having as much power as some smash attacks and being able to reliably KO medium-light characters under 80%. It has little startup lag at frame 6  but extreme ending lag (55 frames), a small sweetspot and little horizontal range. Grants his entire body intangibility on frames 5-7. Based on a maneuver of the same name Mega Man received in ''Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters,'' which became his [[Shoryuken]]-styled move in the ''Marvel vs. Capcom'' series.
|dtiltname=Sliding ({{ja|スライディング|Suraidingu}})
|dtiltdmg=8% (clean), 5% (late)
|dtiltdesc=Mega Man's signature sliding kick. Has very little startup at frame 5 and has sex kick properties. It has amazing range, since the hitbox lasts all the way until the slide is finished, which can hit opponents attempting to roll away. A good surprise move and approach option, but only if not overused. Mega Man's legs are intangible at frames 3-12. The actual sliding ability introduced in ''Mega Man 3'' is a non-damaging maneuver, though said ability becomes weaponized with the Charge Kick, Charge Man's weapon in ''Mega Man 5''. Additionally, it could be based on the ''Leg Breaker'' maneuver Mega Man can use in the secret fighting game mode in ''Mega Man 7''.
|dashname=Top Spin ({{ja|タップスピン|Tappu Supin}})
|dashdmg=1.2% (hits 1-7), 4% (hit 8)
|dashdesc=Boosts forwards while spinning, damaging anything he touches. Good priority and long-lasting, equivalent to {{SSBU|Luigi}}'s dash attack. Useful for mindgames against shields due to its high shield stun, which often makes opponents drop their shield too early. Small noticeable ending lag. Based on Top Man's weapon from ''Mega Man 3'', though it is more based on how Top Man uses the weapon.
|fsmashname=Charge Shot ({{ja|チャージショット|Chāji Shotto}})
|fsmashdmg={{rollover|11.5%-14.95%|does not seem to conform to the global smash charge multiplier, as its hitbox is coded with 10 damage|y}}
|fsmashdesc=Charges up energy in his Mega Buster, before firing off a bigger and more powerful burst. Like regular Mega Buster shots, this shot disappears after traveling a moderate distance, though this distance was buffed in ''Ultimate''. The longer it is charged, the further the resulting shot will go, and its size, damage, and knockback also increase significantly when it is fully charged. Fully charged, this is the longest-reaching forward smash in the game, although it has travel time to compensate and it is also the weakest forward smash in the game knockback-wise, as the fully charged attack doesn't KO until around 100% from center stage. Based on the Super Mega Buster's Charge Shot from ''Mega Man 4'' onwards, and most specifically resembles its appearance in ''Mega Man 5''.
|usmashname=Spark Shock ({{ja|スパークショック|Supāku Shokku}})
|usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|2}} (hit 1), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|1.5}} (hits 2-6), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|6}} (hit 7)
|usmashdesc=Turns both of his hands into electrodes, creating a powerful multi-hitting surge of electricity above him. It is overall useful due to its large hitboxes, making it a great anti-air, and has quick startup at frame 8 and good knockback, though it has 38 frames of ending lag, making it very punishable if not used carefully. Based on Spark Man's weapon from ''Mega Man 3'', though it is more based on how Spark Man uses the weapon.
|dsmashname=Flame Blast ({{ja|フレイムブラスト|Fureimu Burasuto}})
|dsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|17}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|14}} (mid), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|9}} (late)
|dsmashdesc=Plants both arm cannons into the ground, causing two vertical flaming pillars to erupt from the ground either side of him which launch the opponent upwards. It has extreme end lag (46 frames of lag and it's only interruptible at frame 79) that leaves it highly punishable if not landed and the hitbox actually comes out at frame 17, only a few frames after Mega Man slams his Mega Busters to the ground, so it also has high startup and the animation can be misleading. 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. It is based on Flame Man's weapon from ''Mega Man 6'', though it is more based on how Flame Man uses the weapon.
|nairname=Mega Buster ({{ja|ロックバスター|Rokku Basutā}}, ''Rock Buster'')
|nairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|2}} (shot), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|2}} (buster)
|nairdesc=Behaves identically to Mega Man's neutral attack, except Mega Man fires while jumping or falling in the air much like in his original games. The move has sweetspots that cover the Mega Buster and the area in front of Mega Man that does good knockback. Due to Mega Man's effective aerial movement, his neutral attack can be used as a very effective "wall" to deny approaches.
|fairname=Flame Sword ({{ja|フレイムソード|Fureimu Sōdo}})
|fairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|8}} (clean), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|8.5}} (clean tip), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|5}} (late)
|fairdesc=Summons a flaming sword to his hand and quickly swings it downwards in front of him. Comes out decently quick at frame 9 with below-average ending lag. It is a very useful combo move and can net KOs fairly well at the edge of the stage. As a result, is extremely versatile. It is based on Sword Man's weapon from ''Mega Man 8''.
|bairname=Slash Claw ({{ja|スラッシュクロー|Surasshu Kurō}})
|bairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|3}} (hit 1), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|4}} (hit 2), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|5}} (hit 3)
|bairdesc=Quickly turns around and swings his arm, generating three crescent-shaped energy trails behind him. Has high knockback, yet very fast startup at frame 4, the fastest of Mega Man's aerials. Due to its good knockback, it's able to net KOs when edgeguarding, and can chain into itself at low percents. Cancelling it into the ground before the third hit connects can allow Mega Man to get a grab or even an up tilt KO. It is based on Slash Man's weapon from ''Mega Man 7''.
|uairname=Air Shooter ({{ja|エアーシューター|Ea Shūtā}})
|uairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|3}} (hits 1-3), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|2}} (hits 4-6), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|1}} (hits 7-11), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|2}} (hit 12)
|uairdesc=Points the Mega Buster upwards and fires a small tornado straight above him. It travels a fair distance, drawing in opponents who touch the tornado. The hitbox comes out on frame 11. It is based on Air Man's weapon from ''Mega Man 2''. It can easily Star KO opponents even at low percentages, especially if the opponent tries to jump out of it. However, it will meteor smash Mega Man himself if it is reflected. Excellent for damage racking and has a huge windbox. Autocancels in a double jump. If Mega Man generates a second tornado while the first one is still active, it will despawn early.
|dairname=Hard Knuckle ({{ja|ハードナックル|Hādo Nakkuru}})
|dairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|14}} (clean), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|12}} (late)
|dairdesc=Points his fist straight downwards and fires it downwards as a short-ranged projectile. The fist deals the most damage in the first few frames, but afterward, it turns into an aerial-only [[meteor smash]]. Very slow, only coming out on frame 23, but it is a safe meteor smash thanks to its range and the fact it counts as a projectile. Mega Man can move left or right slightly during the first few frames before launching the fist. Autocancels in a double jump. It is based on Hard Man's weapon from ''Mega Man 3'', and is also similar to the Mega Arm from Mega Man V for the Game Boy, as in this game, his charge shot is replaced by an attack where he fires his fist forward. The move disables Mega Man's [[gravity]] for frames 5-22 if he is moving downwards, creating a hovering effect when used at the peak of a jump.
|grabname=Super Arm ({{ja|スーパーアーム|Sūpā Āmu}})
|grabdesc=Reaches out with one hand. Grabbed opponents are lifted over Mega Man's head. Decently fast with average range, and its grabbox extends over Mega Man's hand, so it has more range than it seems. It is based on Guts Man's weapon from the original ''Mega Man''.
|pummelname=Super Arm Grip ({{ja|スーパーアームグリップ|Sūpā Āmu Gurippu}})
|pummeldmg=1.3%
|pummeldesc=Squeezes the grabbed opponent. Average power and speed.
|fthrowname=Super Arm Throw ({{ja|スーパーアームスルー|Sūpā Āmu Surū}})
|fthrowdmg=8%
|fthrowdesc=Throws the opponent forward. Low base knockback.
|bthrowname=Super Arm Back Throw ({{ja|スーパーアームバックスルー|Sūpā Āmu Bakku Surū}})
|bthrowdmg=11%
|bthrowdesc=Turns around and throws the opponent behind him. It is a very solid KOing throw, being able to KO middleweights at around 110% at the edge.
|uthrowname=Super Arm Top Throw ({{ja|スーパーアームトップスルー|Sūpā Āmu Toppu Surū}})
|uthrowdmg=7%
|uthrowdesc=Throws the opponent upward. Can KO opponents at very high percentages, but it's mostly used for pressuring with up air.
|dthrowname=Super Arm Bottom Throw ({{ja|スーパーアームボトムスルー|Sūpā Āmu Botomu Surū}})
|dthrowdmg=4.5%
|dthrowdesc=Throws the opponent downward. The opponent flies straight up after hitting the ground. His primary combo throw.
|floorfname=&nbsp;
|floorfdmg=7%
|floorfdesc=Sweep kicks in a circle around himself.
|floorbname=&nbsp;
|floorbdmg=7%
|floorbdesc=Does the same sweep kick as his front floor attack, but hits behind Mega Man first instead of his front.
|floortname=&nbsp;
|floortdmg=5%
|floortdesc=Mega Man kicks both feet out while spinning.
|edgename=&nbsp;
|edgedmg=9%
|edgedesc=Mega Man jumps up and performs a kick in a similar fashion as his down tilt.
|nsname=Metal Blade
|nsdmg=5% (spawn), 3% (item throw)
|nsdesc=A spinning saw blade projectile that can be thrown in one of eight different directions. The blade can be picked up and thrown by players like a regular item, though it deals less damage upon being thrown a second time. If item dropped, the blade will deal multiple hits on its way down, allowing for followups. Mega Man cannot throw another Metal Blade until his previous one disappears. Its fair amount of utility makes this Mega Man's most useful tool for edgeguarding, approaching and spacing, and can even initiate shield break combos. The move is based on Metal Man's weapon from ''Mega Man 2''.
|ssname=Crash Bomber
|ssdmg=1.5% (hits 1-4), 4% (last)
|ssdesc=Fires a grappling bomb attached to a drill that latches on to any surface or fighter it touches, before exploding a few seconds later. Much like a [[Gooey Bomb]], it can be transferred between players before it detonates but has a shorter timer and the explosion can be safely shielded. The bomb can travel a good distance until it disappears. It can be used to bait a shield grab, or shot against the stage while recovering to deny edgeguarding. When stuck to a wall, it will detonate as soon as a player gets near it. The move is based on Crash Man's weapon in ''Mega Man 2''.
|usname=Rush Coil
|usdmg=—
|usdesc=Briefly summons his robotic dog companion Rush, who activates a coil on his back to throw him in the air. A second bounce will make Mega Man jump even higher than the first bounce. Other players will also be able to bounce on Rush, even if he is in the air. Mega Man is unable to summon Rush again until he lands, or is hit by an attack after using it. It's possible to get incredibly early KOs by forcing an opponent into the air and following up with an up air. The move is based on the Rush Coil from ''Mega Man 3''. It provides good distance and doesn't make Mega Man helpless, similarly to Sonic's Spring Jump.
|dsname=Leaf Shield
|dsdmg=1.5% (circling), 3.8% (thrown)
|dsdesc=Summons leaf-shaped units that electromagnetically orbit around him. The leaves block projectiles and can be held around Mega Man for a set time. The move is based on Wood Man's weapon from ''Mega Man 2''.
|fsname=Mega Legends
|fsdmg=3% (init), 41.2% (attack)
|fsdesc=Fires a Black Hole Bomb, Galaxy Man's weapon from ''Mega Man 9'', in front of him. After it explodes, it can suck opponents in. If anyone gets sucked in, then Mega Man X, MegaMan.EXE, MegaMan Volnutt, and Geo Stelar, all protagonists of their own spin-off series, alongside Proto Man and Bass, will join Mega Man to fire their Mega Busters in unison in a cinematic Final Smash.

''See also: [[:Category:Mega Man players (SSBU)]]''

*{{Sm|Kameme|Japan}} - One of the greatest Mega Man players of all time and the best in the early metagame. He was the first Mega Man player to win a major and the only one to win multiple, having won {{Trn|Umebura Japan Major 2019}} and {{Trn|2GG: SwitchFest 2019}}, the latter of which remains the largest event won by a Mega Man player. He was also one of the few players to defeat {{Sm|MkLeo}} before top 8 at a major during the [[Fall 2019 PGRU]] season, doing so at {{Trn|EVO 2019}}, and was ranked at 11th during the season, which stood as the highest ranking for a Mega Man player for several years. He has since relegated Mega Man to a secondary in favor of {{SSBU|Sora}}. 
*{{Sm|Kasmir|USA}} - Formerly known as "yeti", he was the best Mega Man player in North America during the game's early months, ranking 34th on the [[Spring 2019 PGRU]] and placing 9th at {{Trn|GENESIS 6}} and 25th at {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 5}}, {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2019}}, and {{Trn|Shine 2019}}. His activity declined following the fall 2019 season, largely due to controversies surrounding his conduct.
*{{Sm|Komugiko|Japan}} - Regularly places top 16 at Chūbu events, including winning {{Trn|Karisuma SP 13}} over {{Sm|DIO}} and placing 9th at {{Trn|Toyota Grand Slum 14}}. Although less consistent at a major level, he has still seen some success, such as placing 9th at {{Trn|Maesuma TOP 6}}.
*{{Sm|MPg|USA}} - The second-best Mega Man player in North America in the post-[[COVID-19 pandemic]] metagame, best known for his performances from late 2022 to mid-2023, including his run to 3rd at {{Trn|Apex 2022}}, where he also defeated {{Sm|Gackt}}, {{Sm|Syrup}}, and {{Sm|yonni}}, and his run to 5th at {{Trn|BATTLE FOR THE SOUTH 2023}}, where he defeated {{Sm|Lima}}. Although less successful at majors compared to other Mega Man players, he still notably placed 17th at {{Trn|Let's Make Big Moves 2023}} and {{Trn|Get On My Level 2023}}, and would mark his first full-year global ranking in 2025, ranking 147th on [[UltRank 2025]].
*{{Sm|Peabnut|USA}} - One of the greatest Mega Man players of all time. Although active since the game's beginning, he is best known for his performances in the post-pandemic metagame and first broke out by placing 2nd at {{Trn|Riptide 2022}}. Since then, he has been the only Mega Man player to succeed at the highest level of competitive play across multiple years, finishing top 8 at several large events such as 4th at {{Trn|Cirque Du CFL 3}} and 5th at {{Trn|Supernova 2025}}. These performances also include his victories at the A tier event {{Trn|Patchwork 2025: All Patched Up!}} and the major {{Trn|Luminosity Makes Moves Miami 2025}}, making him the second Mega Man player to win a major. He is known for his prowess in the Steve matchup, boasting positive records over {{Sm|Onin}} and {{Sm|DDee}}. He is the first Mega Man player to rank within the top 10 on any global power-ranking, placing 10th on the panel-based [[UltRank Delta 2025]], and ranking 17th on the full-year ranking [[UltRank 2025]].
*{{Sm|Repo|Japan}} - The best Mega Man player in the world in 2021 and early 2022, notably overshadowing Kameme during this period after placing 5th at {{Trn|Kagaribi 6}}, 7th at {{Trn|Eastern Powerhouse Invitational 2}}, and 9th at {{Trn|Kagaribi 3}} and {{Trn|Kagaribi 5}}. He was never able to reach the same consistency after the early months of 2022, although he still notably placed 3rd at {{Trn|Seibugeki 12}}, and was ranked 62nd on the [[UltRank 2022]].
*{{Sm|ScAtt|USA}} - One of the best Mega Man players in North America in the early metagame, using him alongside {{SSBU|Snake}} and ranking 40th on the [[Fall 2019 PGRU]] with both characters. He used primarily Mega Man to place 9th at {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 5}} and 13th {{Trn|EVO 2019}}. He stopped traveling in the post-pandemic metagame, mostly competing at Georgia events with just Snake.
*{{Sm|TriM|France}} - The best Mega Man player in Europe, best known for placing 5th at {{Trn|VCA 2022}}, 7th at {{Trn|SLY LAN}}, and 13th at both {{Trn|Albion 4}} and {{Trn|Ultimate WANTED 2}}. He was ranked in Europe up until 2024, peaking at 23rd for [[OrionRank 2022/Europe|all of 2022]]. Although he had limited performances international, he notably placed 49th at {{Trn|GENESIS 8}}.

===Tier placement and history===
Early perception on Mega Man was very positive due to the buffs he received from the transition and ''Ultimate''{{'}}s universal changes, allowing him to remain as a strong zoner character who is most effective at mid-range. Mega Man also saw strong results from several veteran players such as {{Sm|kameme}}, {{Sm|ScAtt}}, and {{Sm|yeti}}; kameme, especially, was a top 20 player and won a major and supermajor while using Mega Man. This has led many to believe Mega Man was a solid high-tier, with some, such as {{Sm|ESAM}}, believing he could potentially be a top-tier.

However, following the online metagame, Mega Man's representation saw a noticeable decline. Most notably, Kameme's results coming into 2021 were worse than what he had in the early metagame, and he began playing other characters, ultimately settling on {{SSBU|Sora}}, while relegating Mega Man to a secondary. Although new Mega Man players such as {{Sm|MPg}}, {{Sm|Peabnut}}, and {{Sm|Repo}} began making waves with the character during this time, none had the consistently high placements that Kameme saw in the early metagame. As such, opinions on Mega Man have since mellowed out: he was initially ranked 38th on the first tier list at the very end of the high-tier, but later dropped down to 48th, one of the largest drops between the first and second tier list, then rose one place to 47th.

However, only a few months after the third tier list's release, Peabnut would begin to challenge Mega Man's placement on the tier list. While a notable player before 2025, his performances in the first half of 2025 would see some of Mega Man's strongest results since the pandemic; after a few solid placements at a few superregionals, Peabnut would emerge as a top-level threat, achieving a 17th place finish at {{Trn|Kagaribi 13}}, the most difficult ''Ultimate'' tournament of all time, and the single strongest performance from a mid-tiered character at the event, tied with {{Sm|Reno}}'s placement with {{SSBU|Byleth}}. He followed this up with consistent top 16 placements at every major he attended (save for {{Trn|Get On My Level: Forever}}), and saw various victories over many top players, including {{Sm|Sparg0}}, {{Sm|Syrup}}, and {{Sm|Onin}}. Additionally, he became the second Mega Man player to win a major, doing so at {{Trn|Luminosity Makes Moves Miami 2025}}. With Peabnut proving Mega Man's viability, Mega Man will likely see a rise on the next tier list.

[[File:SSBU Congratulations Mega Man.png|thumb|Mega Man's [[congratulations screen]].]]
Mega Man's opponents are stylized similar to the many boss fights that are in the ''Mega Man'' series, (e.g. Dr. Mario being [[Dr. Wily]]). Mega Man also fights [[Galleom]] as the penultimate boss. The final battle is against {{SSBU|Dr. Mario}}, and then {{SSBU|Mewtwo}}, who appears upon Dr. Mario's defeat. Each Rounds play a song from the ''Mega Man'' series (regardless of what universe the stage originates from).

==Role in [[World of Light]]==
[[File:WoL-46MegaMan.jpg|thumb|Finding Mega Man in World of Light|left]]
Mega Man was among the fighters that were summoned to fight against the army of [[Master Hand]]s.

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 {{SSBU|Kirby}}. A puppet fighter cloned from him is later seen, alongside ones cloned from {{SSBU|Mario}}, {{SSBU|Shulk}}, {{SSBU|Pikachu}}, {{SSBU|Palutena}}, and other fighters.

Mega Man can be found near the entrance of the [[Base]] sub-area, guarded by the spirit of {{h2|List of spirits (Mega Man series)|Sigma}}.

==[[Spirit]]==
Mega Man's fighter spirit can be obtained by completing {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} as Mega Man. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 300 Gold, but only after Mega Man has been unlocked. Unlocking Mega Man in World of Light allows the player to preview the spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a fighter spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. His fighter spirit has an alternate version that replaces it with his artwork in ''Ultimate''.

===Fighter Showcase Video===
{{#widget:YouTube|id=m4632ulEnNc}}

== Trivia ==
*Due to an error, Mega Man's character showcase video was originally not accessible on [https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/fighter/46.html 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. {{SSBU|Snake}}, {{SSBU|Pac-Man}}, and {{SSBU|Ryu}} use arrangements from previous games while {{SSBU|Sonic}}, {{SSBU|Cloud}}, and {{SSBU|Bayonetta}} use music ported from their home games.
*Mega Man's pose in his official art is similar to his pose on the North American and European box art for ''Mega Man 7'', albeit horizontally mirrored. He also poses similarly during [[Mega Legends|his Final Smash]].
**Mega Man's stance when [[perfect shield]]ing is similar to the original poses from ''Mega Man 7''.
*Mega Man is one of the few fighters in ''Ultimate'' who, excluding throws, floor attacks, and his edge attack, has canonical names for all of his attacks, unlike most fighters who only have a select few named attacks. The other characters who share this distinction are {{SSBU|Wii Fit Trainer}} and {{SSBU|Terry}}.
*Mega Man being unlocked in Pikachu's unlock column is a reference to the [[Yellow Devils]] event in ''for Wii U'', as he fights Pikachu, Pac-Man, and the Yellow Devil as opponents.
**Mega Man can also be unlocked by clearing Classic Mode as either Shulk or R.O.B., referencing the [[Mechanical Menace]] event in ''for Wii U'', as all three playable characters occupy said event where Shulk fights both Mega Man and R.O.B. as metal giants along with [[Gaur Plain]]'s stage boss [[Metal Face]].
**R.O.B. and Mega Man are both robots who share the same unique boss in Classic Mode (Galleom) and are playable characters in ''for Wii U''{{'}}s Co-Op event [[Robots vs. Dragons]].
*While Mega Man's opponents before the boss and final round in Classic Mode predominantly reference Robot Masters from ''Mega Man 2'', Ice Man, via Ice Climbers, can be considered an exception, as said Robot Master originates from the original ''Mega Man''.
*Mega Man is one of the five veterans from ''Smash 4'' to have their [[Boxing Ring]] alias changed in ''Ultimate'', the others being {{SSBU|Link}}, {{SSBU|Kirby}}, {{SSBU|King Dedede}}, and {{SSBU|Ryu}}. In this case, his American and Japanese aliases were swapped between both regions.
*Before DLC, Mega Man was the only third-party veteran to appear in a CGI trailer. If the World of Light trailer is counted, however, {{SSBU|Sonic}}, Snake, and Bayonetta also share this distinction.
*If Mega Man picks up an [[Assist Trophy]] whilst walking, he can continue walking with it until he stops. He, {{SSBU|Steve}}, {{SSBU|Min Min}} are the only characters who can walk with an Assist Trophy. Mega Man can also jump and continue walking with an Assist Trophy if he lands during a neutral aerial.
*When Mega Man jumps, his ascension sound effect comes from ''Mega Man 7''. This was also the case in ''Smash 4''.
