Mega Man (Smash 5)

Mega Man makes his second appearance as a playable character to the Super Smash Bros. franchise in Super 5mash Bros. 5. Mega Man is a returning 3rd party veteran hailing from Capcom's Mega Man franchise. He possesses a wide variety of attacks and abilities from the games but nothing is more famous than his ability to gain an ability after defeating one of the Robot Masters. When he defeats one, he is capable of utilizing the attack to use against enemies as well as other Robot Masters. This aspect of Mega Man returns for Super Smash Bros. 5!
==Changes from SSB4==
==Moveset==
===Special Custom Set A===
 	Name 	Damage 	Description
Neutral Special	Metal Blade 	3% (usage), 5% (as item) 	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. Mega Man cannot throw another Metal Blade until his previous one disappears. The move is based on Metal Man's weapon from Mega Man 2.
Custom 1 	Hyper Bomb 	8% 	A bomb that can be thrown in 8 directions and will explode in contact with the ground or an enemy, but it has a form of vertical movement, giving it an arcing motion. Despite the bomb's fuse, it will not explode until it hits something. The move is based on Bomb Man's weapon from Mega Man.
Custom 2 	Shadow Blade 	2% (per hit) 	Throws a shuriken that has a boomerang effect, returning to the same position it was thrown from. It can be still thrown in 8 directions, but does not stick on the ground, and cannot be picked up either. It is based on Shadow Man's weapon from Mega Man 3.
Side Special 	Crash Bomber 	1% (loop), 4% (last) 	Fires a grappling bomb attached to a drill that latches on to any surface or player it touches, before exploding a few seconds later. Much like a Gooey Bomb, it can be transferred between players before it detonates. The drill can travel a good distance until it dissapears. The move is based on Crash Man's weapon in Mega Man 2.
Custom 1 	Ice Slasher 	4% 	Fires an arrowhead-shaped ice projectile that deals less damage than the Crash Bomber, but can go through multiple enemies and also freeze them on contact. It is based on Ice Man's weapon from Mega Man.
Custom 2 	Danger Wrap 	3% (loop), 7% (last) 	Fires an explosive wrapped in a bubble that floats upwards in an exponential arc and will explode if it comes into contact with an enemy, or on its own after a few seconds. Whilst harder to use than both the Crash Bomber and Ice Slasher due to its unusual trajectory, it deals more damage and knockback. It is based on Burst Man's weapon from Mega Man 7.
Up Special 	Rush Coil 	0% 	Mega Man briefly summons his trusty robot dog, Rush, who acts similar to Sonic's Spring Jump. 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. The move is based on the Rush Coil from Mega Man 3.
Custom 1 	Tornado Hold 	2% (center), 1% (sides) 	Drops a spinning fan onto the ground that creates a tornado and pushes anyone caught in it upwards, dealing multiple hits. It can be also used to combo into the Flame Sword, Slash Claw or Air Shooter. If used in midair, it causes the fan to fall as it pushes Mega Man up, giving it better offensive potential but slightly less horizontal distance than the Rush Coil. It is based on Tengu Man's weapon from Mega Man 8.
Custom 2 	Beat 	0% 	Mega Man summons his robot bird Beat, which he grabs onto as he lifts him upwards with greater horizontal distance but less speed than the Rush Coil. Based on the Beat Call from Mega Man 7, which allowed Beat to appear and rescue Mega Man from falling off the screen.
Down Special 	Leaf Shield 	2% (circling), 3.8% (thrown)	Mega Man summons leaf-shaped units that electromagnetically orbit around him. The leaves block projectiles, and can be fired forwards by pressing an attack button to land multiple hits, or used with the Super Arm to deal additional damage. The move is based on Wood Man's weapon from Mega Man 2.
Custom 1 	Skull Barrier	0% (circling), 2% (thrown) 	Produces a skull-shaped energy shield that orbits around Mega Man. It can reflect projectiles, but travels much less distance and does much less damage when thrown, and no damage at all when it is orbiting around Mega Man. The move is based on Skull Man's weapon from Mega Man 4.
Custom 2 	Plant Barrier	3% (circling), 4.2% (thrown)	Mega Man summons flower petal-shaped units that orbit around him. The petals are more durable than the Leaf Shield, as they do not disappear when hit and deal slightly more damage when thrown, but it moves slightly slower and has less range when thrown. The move is based on Plant Man's weapon from Mega Man 6.
