The Leaf Shield (リーフシールド, Rīfushīrudo) is Mega Man's down special move. In this move, Mega Man activates a moving shield, consisting of four leaves circling around him. These leaves can be used in order to protect Mega Man from projectiles. The move can also be thrown back at opponents to do damage. Currently, it is unknown how long the shield will actually last. Unlike the game of its origin, Mega Man can move around with the shield intact.
Leaf Shield had a known variation in the form of Plant Barrier. It is unknown how differently it works compared to Leaf Shield.
Origin
The Leaf Shield first appeared in Mega Man 2, as the power of Wood Man. These "leaves" are actually shaped pieces of ceratanium, which have been sharpened around the edges. They are able to levitate due to electromagnetism. In Mega Man 2, Mega Man would have to stay still to use this power. When staying still, the shield will not leave Mega Man, and will protect him from all attacks. When Mega Man does move, the shield flies off in which ever direction Mega Man started walking in. The Leaf Shield is the weakness of, and only damages, Air Man.
The move's variation, Plant Barrier, first appeared in Mega Man 6, as the power of Plant Man. The "flower petals" are created from condensed energy to protect Mega Man from attacks. It vanishes when hit, but unlike some shield-based powers, it cannot be thrown. It does not vanish if it hits an invulnerable or shielded enemy; however, it can bypass shields and inflict damage. Plant Barrier is the weakness of Tomahawk Man.
