## Character Statistics

### Has a Tether

Yes

**Mega Man** is a returning character in Super Smash Bros. For Nintendo Switch. He's one of the 5 characters who hails from the *MegaMan* series, with the others being Protoman, Bass, X, and Zero. He was announced one day after the E3 reveal trailer of the game.

His appearance wasn't changed much from is appearance in Smash 4. His color scheme matches the one from Megaman 11, and some of his moveset had slight buffs and nerfs.

## Attributes

Megaman arguably has the best projectile game. He focuses on being able to keep opponents away, using his attacks to switch into a psuedo-rushdown gameplan. Attacks like Metal Blade are quick, regrabbable projectiles that let the blue bomber alternate between playstyles, and allong with his grab game, he's extremely good at getting the upper hand.

However, his reliance on staying back makes him unable to do much with close range fighting.

Some of Megaman's attacks now alternate to 2 or 3 different "variations", using different weapons and attacks.

## Classic Mode: Stop Dr. Wily!

All of Megaman's battles references various Robot Master battles from the Megaman series. All stages are in their Final Destination versions, and the opponents tend to use one move a lot, but on harder difficulties, they move faster and attack more often. Opponents will also take more damage and knockback if they are hit by an attack that they are "weak" to.

He is first playable in Chapter 0 - Prolouge, having his universe become taken over by Tabuu and being attacked by both Eggman and Infinite.
