Crash Bomber (クラッシュボム, Crash Bomb) is Mega Man's side special move in SSB4.

Overview

This move functions very similarly to the Gooey Bomb, as it involves a small time bomb being shot out of Mega Man's buster. This bomb latches onto the first opponent or terrain in its path and starts to beep. After about two seconds, the bomb blows up, dealing diagonal knockback. Like other Sticky items, the bomb will transfer to any player that makes contact with it while attached to a player.

Customization

Crash Bomber can be customized into two variants: Ice Slasher and Danger Wrap. Ice Slasher does not cause explosions like its counterparts and thus has less raw damage potential, but is a fast projectile that can pierce through multiple opponents and freeze them at high enough percentages. Danger Wrap produces a bubble-encased bomb that floats upward, exploding upon making contact with an opponent.

Origin

The Crash Bomber first appeared in Mega Man 2 as the special weapon of Crash Man, one of the eight robot master bosses. Upon his defeat, Mega Man would be able to use this special weapon himself. Though it only has a limited ammo amount of seven uses, the Crash Bomber stuck to walls when fired and powerfully exploded after some time. It was also capable of destroying certain walls. The Crash Bomber is the weakness of Flash Man, Quick Man and Wily Machine 2 as well as being required to defeat the Boobeam Trap boss in Dr. Wily's castle. Unlike in Smash Bros, the Crash Bomber was unable to stick to enemies in Mega Man 2, instead simply dealing damage upon hitting them.

One of the move's variants, Ice Slasher, first appeared in Mega Man as the power of Ice Man. It is a blade of ice in the shape of an arrowhead, produced from chilled air mixed with liquid nitrogen. These projectiles can damage or freeze foes. Ice Slasher can freeze flame geysers to form steps, and is the weakness of Fire Man. The second variant, Danger Wrap, was introduced in Mega Man 7 as the power of Burst Man. Using this power, a bomb encased in a bubble is fired. THe bubble travels upwards and can trap certain enemies, including Cloud Man, the Robot Master who is weak to this weapon. The bubble could be pushed if an enemy is trapped inside, damaging any enemy that makes contact. Alternatively, the bomb could be placed on the ground to act as a mine.
