Mega Man (DE)

Play as the Super Fighting Robot, Mega Man! Using sprites based off the ones made by BBLIR and an entirely new moveset built just for Rivals.

A refreshed version of Mega Man prettied up and finally finished once and for all after 2+ years of basically nothing. I do apologize, but times were different when I was making Mega Man back in 2019 and the knowledge simply wasn’t there when something went wrong. I also kept changing too much about the moveset, and never settling on something with confidence. Finally in 2022, I thought I’d set things right by getting something that from start to finish is an overall complete package. After all, I feel like this was one project I absolutely owed to the Workshop community, and to remind you all that I definitely put out more than just SSL-style projects.

In any case, the moveset!

<<<Moveset>>>
[Specials]
Neutral Special (1): Pellets
Basic spammable shot.

Neutral Special (2): Hyper Bomb
Delayed explosion that is good for traps and setups.

Neutral Special (3): Silver Tomahawk
Big and strong upward moving projectile that sends the opponents backwards to you to allow for a potential follow-up.

Neutral Special (4): Laser Trident
Armor piercing projectile that is a hard counter against Parries, Ori’s Down Special, and Clairen’s Down Special.

Neutral Special (5): Triple Blade
Three-way projectile that has good coverage but low damage to compensate for the amount of range.

Forward Special: Charge Shot
Charge your Mega Buster to fire a powerful shot, but can cancel out of it anytime to compensate for the lack of ability to move during it.
