===Tier placement and history=== | |||
Early perception on Mega Man were 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 that is most effective at mid-range. Mega Man also saw strong results from several veteran Mega Man 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 the character. This has led many to believe Mega Man was a solid high-tier, with some such as {{Sm|ESAM}} believing the character 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 the character have since mellowed out: he is ranked 38th on the current tier list at the very end of the high-tier. | |||
