With this move, Mega Man activates a moving shield, consisting of four leaves circling around him. These leaves act as one-use damaging barriers, damaging enemies/items and blocking projectiles it comes in contact with at the cost of one leaf, making for a short-term damaging protection around Mega Man. While orbiting Mega Man, leaves may occasionally reverse an opponent, creating an unexpected opening. The shield can also be thrown directly forwards as a potentially long-range attack (it may disappear before the maximum distance is traveled). The Leaf Shield will last either 3 seconds or until all 4 leaves are used up. | With this move, Mega Man activates a moving shield, consisting of four leaves circling around him.

Unlike the game of its origin, Mega Man can move around with the shield intact; however, any attack or special input will cause him to throw the shield, so using the move is something of a commitment. An exception is made when Mega Man is holding an item (like his own [[Metal Blade]]), as he can still throw the item with the attack button as well as throw the Leaf Shield with the special button. Mega Man can also still [[shield]], [[grab]] and [[pummel]] while the Leaf Shield is active, and the leaves can deal extra damage to grabbed opponents. | Unlike the game of its origin, Mega Man can move around with the shield intact; however, any attack or special input will cause him to throw the shield, so using the move is something of a commitment.

Not only can it fly and attack, but it can also mainly block [[Sora]]'s [[Magic]]. | ||
Although its most obvious uses are for extra damage while grabbing and protecting from projectiles, Leaf Shield can also be useful for [[edgeguarding]]. If Mega Man stands at the ledge with Leaf Shield active and also uses his standard shield, he can safely threaten recovering opponents. Alternatively, he can [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_O3LCT7BDI&t=25 jump offstage] and try to [[gimp]] opponents with the leaves, possibly leading into a [[footstool jump]]. | Although its most obvious uses are for extra damage while grabbing and protecting from projectiles, Leaf Shield can also be useful for [[edgeguarding]].
