This is a slight drop from his previous placement in ''SSB4'', being ranked 27th out of 54. Mega Man, akin to his home series, has an outstanding zoning game with a multitude of projectiles at his disposal. His signature iconic move in his pellets (jab, neutral aerial, and forward tilt) is great at applying pressure and stopping approaches while also helping Mega Man's approach. His normals are also solid as all his aerials serve some purpose with both forward and back aerial as edgeguarding disjointed tools and out-of-shield options, up aerial as a juggling tool that can KO off the top blast zone, and down aerial as a unique spiking tool that is a projectile. He also has useful smash attacks as up smash is a solid out-of-shield option, forward smash as a disjointed projectile, and down smash as a solid finisher. His special moves are also important as they are among some of Mega Man's most important aspects as a character. [[Metal Blade]] is a useful versatile projectile that can travel through opponents and can also be picked up and used as an item, allowing for confirms into moves, such as back air, up tilt, and more. [[Crash Bomber]] is good for shield pressure and [[mindgames]], which can force opponents into disadvantageous spots. [[Rush Coil]] is a solid recovery tool and Mega Man can also act out of it. Finally, [[Leaf Shield]] is an amazing projectile that encases a barrier over Mega Man and can also be thrown at opponents. All in all, Mega Man has amazing strengths that he can use for a strong camping and zoning game. | ||
Despite these numerous strengths, Mega Man has several flaws. Mega Man is one of the easiest characters to combo and juggle due to him being at one of the perfect weights for combos or KO confirms. Mega Man also has difficulty landing despite being a fast faller since he lacks good combo escapes or quick landing hitboxes. Due to Mega Man's overreliance on projectiles, he struggles against characters who have reflectors, such as all the [[space animals]] or absorption properties, such as {{SSBU|Mr. Game and Watch}}, who can greatly hinder or shut down his entire game plan. | |||
In conclusion, Mega Man has a lot of tools to apply a lot of pressure with his various projectiles and his strong zoning game but should his defenses be broken through will make him struggle. Mega Man has seen a strong representation and results from most notably {{Sm|Kameme}} who has placed highly at several majors and supermajors before picking up {{SSBU|Sora}} in the post-pandemic era. In recent times, players, such as {{Sm|Peabnut}}, {{Sm|Repo}}, and {{Sm|MPg}} have continued to produce solid results for him, showing how capable a character Mega Man is in the right hands. | |||
