==Attributes==
As in his home series, Mega Man's moveset relies heavily on various [[projectiles]], giving his attacks unusual functions and characteristics. This extends beyond his special moves and into his standard moveset. For his neutral attack, he fires shots from his Mega Buster, and for his forward tilt, he fires shots from his Mega Buster while walking. His up tilt, the Mega Upper, is a jumping uppercut, and his down tilt is a forward slide.

Despite having an unusual set of moves, Mega Man shines in [[approach]]ing while spacing opponents at midrange and disrupting any approaches, for he is blessed with two projectiles that can cause opponents to react predictably: [[Metal Blade]]'s ability to be thrown in eight directions and trapping opponents in high [[hitstun]] makes it a fantastic [[mindgame]] and [[shield]]-baiting tool, while [[Crash Bomber]] can cause panicky opponents to run towards Mega Man or shield the explosion. Both projectiles easily lead to a grab [[punish]] as Mega Man owns a great grab combo ability, having a fast grab and many of his attacks connecting reliably after a throw. This allows him to rack up damage easily once he grabs an opponent. He does not have much trouble KOing once his opponents are damaged either, for he has many finishing options ranging from his up tilt and his forward aerial to his projectile-based forward smash, which can be used to [[edgeguard]]. His other projectiles are terrific, notably his aerials; up aerial can KO early if an opponent is high up, and his down aerial is one of the safest meteor smashes in the game. To top it all off, Mega Man is a fantastic [[spacing|spacer]]: his jab is a fast and useful projectile (that can be used while moving and jumping) which interrupts most attacks and weak projectiles at a safe range, and when combined with Metal Blades and Crash Bombs makes Mega Man difficult to approach. Due to his amazing pressuring ability and grab game, characters without a projectile or with low [[range|reach]] can have trouble approaching without being severely punished. Even if he does get knocked around, Mega Man is [[weight|a heavyweight character]], weighing only slightly less than {{SSBU|Ryu}}, meaning he is more likely to survive potentially lethal blows that could KO a lighter character, especially with proper [[DI]] and his good recovery move, [[Rush Coil]].

Regardless of his good grab game and punishing options, Mega Man still has some flaws to counter his strengths. Since his projectiles are imperative in initiating combos, he suffers against opponents with [[Reflection|reflector]]s or other methods to render his projectiles ineffective, such as the {{SSBU|Villager}} and {{SSBU|Isabelle}}'s [[Pocket]]. His low speed and ending lag on his non-projectile moves significantly limit his approach. He lacks options in keeping away foes up close, with no actual melee jab or quick standard attacks to knock them away. Because most of his strongest attacks suffer from either noticeable startup or ending lag, Mega Man works best at mid-range where his attacks can connect safely, though at the cost of giving opponents a good amount of time to react to any of his attacks, somewhat making his finishers predictable.

In essence, Mega Man is a very versatile, medium-ranged projectile fighter who has no trouble spacing opponents, though KO attempts can be risky for him as he suffers slightly at close range due to the lag of his attacks. He has to use his effective spacing and grab punish options to rack up damage at medium range while keeping his distance until the opponent is weak enough to risk using one of his slow yet powerful finishing moves.

==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
Mega Man has been noticeably buffed overall in the transition to ''Ultimate''. Most of his [[projectile]] attacks have longer range and less ending lag, with several notable examples. His Mega Buster shots, a staple of his [[neutral game]] in ''Smash 4'', cover a longer distance, allowing him to apply more pressure from afar, and his [[forward smash]] has been drastically improved, with longer range and much less ending lag that enable it to be used much more safely as a projectile and KO option. [[Leaf Shield]] has also been buffed significantly, with the shield activating noticeably faster, hitting opponents at a quicker rate, and the leaves no longer disappearing on hit. Mega Man's close-up game has been improved as well, as his [[dash attack]] deals more damage and connects more reliably, and his [[forward aerial]] has decreased landing lag with considerably more knockback, allowing it to combo at lower percents and KO reliably at higher percents. Furthermore, alongside his direct buffs, Mega Man benefits drastically from the universal changes in ''Ultimate''. The ability to [[run-cancel]] with any ground attack gives him more opportunities to land his powerful [[up tilt]], and his overall faster mobility alongside the nerfs to [[air dodge]]s allow him to challenge and pressure opponents more effectively with his projectiles, especially his [[up aerial]] to juggle them. The reintroduction of directional air dodges also increases his [[recovery]]'s safety and total distance.

Alongside his buffs, Mega Man has received some nerfs. Most notably, because [[footstool]]s can now be [[tech]]ed, his well-known [[jab lock]] and KO setups are less consistent, hindering his guaranteed damage racking and KO ability. However, his direct nerfs are comparatively scarcer, with the only significant ones being his forward smash's weaker power increase when charged, and his inability to [[shield]] or [[grab]] while using Leaf Shield. As a result, Mega Man's arsenal is generally more potent, and he remains a solid character, though due to many other veterans also having received buffs to varying degrees, his specific position relative to the rest of the cast is currently unclear. While his involvement in the metagame has been relatively low, he has still amassed some strong results in tournaments, especially with players such as [[Smasher:kameme|kameme]] and [[Smasher:yeti|yeti]].

===Aesthetics===
*{{change|As with all [[veteran]]s returning from ''Smash 4'', Mega Man's model features a more subdued color scheme. Some of the mechanical details on his body are more pronounced, and his armor has a more realistic metallic sheen.}}
*{{change|Mega Man's Mega Buster now emits a small, blue ring-shaped particle upon firing. This resembles the effect present in ''Mega Man 8'', ''Mega Man & Bass'', and ''Mega Man 11''.}}
*{{change|Mega Man now opens his mouth a little while firing the Mega Buster on the ground, unlike in his own games. He also opens his mouth while [[shield]]ing.}}
*{{change|Mega Man has a new shield break animation.}}
*{{change|All of Mega Man's [[victory pose|victory animations]] have been changed in some way:}}
**{{change|The victory animation where Mega Man points upwards then outwards is modified so he is dashing in instead of falling from the sky.}}
**{{change|The victory animation where he strikes his title screen pose from ''Rockman'' has been reanimated to be slightly slower.}}
**{{change|Mega Man now shoots thrice instead of twice in his standing victory animation.}}
*{{change|Mega Man's [[Boxing Ring]] alias has been changed to "The Blue Bomber".}}

===Attributes===
*{{buff|Like all characters, Mega Man's [[jumpsquat]] animation now takes 3 frames to complete (down from 4).}}
*{{buff|Mega Man [[run]]s faster (1.456 → 1.602).}}
**{{buff|Mega Man's initial [[dash]] is significantly faster (1.5 → 1.958).}}
*{{buff|Mega Man [[walk]]s slightly faster (1.078 → 1.132).}}
*{{buff|Mega Man's [[air speed]] is slightly higher (1.1 → 1.155).}}
*{{buff|Mega Man's [[traction]] is significantly higher (0.06 → 0.094).}}
*{{buff|Forward [[roll]] has less ending lag ([[FAF]] 31 → 30).}}
*{{nerf|Forward roll grants less [[intangibility]] (frames 4-17 → 4-15).}}
*{{nerf|Back roll has more startup with less intangibility (frames 4-17 → 5-16), and more ending lag (FAF 31 → 35).}}
*{{buff|[[Spot dodge]] has less ending lag (FAF 28 → 26).}}
*{{nerf|Spot dodge grants less intangibility (frames 3-18 → 3-17).}}
*{{buff|[[Air dodge]] grants more intangibility (frames 3-28 → 3-30).}}
*{{nerf|Air dodge has more ending lag (FAF 34 → 46).}}
*{{buff|The reintroduction of directional air dodges improves Mega Man's recovery more than other characters', as due to [[Rush Coil]] not causing [[helplessness]], he can get additional distance with a directional air dodge after using it.}}
*{{nerf|The ability to [[tech]] aerial [[footstool]]s in ''Ultimate'' hinders Mega Man's KO setups at high percents.}}

===Ground attacks===
*[[Neutral attack]]/[[Forward tilt]]:
**{{buff|Neutral attack and forward tilt's shots last longer (18 frames → 23), allowing them to cover more distance and thus increasing their range.}}
**{{nerf|Both moves deal less [[shield damage]] (1 → 0 (Mega Buster), 0 → -1 (shots)).}}
**{{change|Mega Man centers his eyes for a bit after using his forward tilt.}}
*[[Up tilt]]:
**{{buff|The ability to use any ground attack out of a run in ''Ultimate'' benefits up tilt's usage, as combined with its sheer knockback and Mega Man's faster ground movement, it can catch landings and [[punish]] opponents much more effectively for KOs.}}
*[[Down tilt]]:
**{{nerf|Down tilt's clean hit has more base knockback (80 → 92), but less knockback scaling (70 → 60), hindering its KO potential.}}
*[[Dash attack]]:
**{{buff|Dash attack deals more damage (1% → 1.2% (hits 1-7), 3% → 4% (hit 8); 10% → 12.4% (total)), with knockback not compensated on the last hit, improving its KO potential.}}
**{{buff|Its linking hits have a lower [[hitlag]] multiplier (1.0× → 0.5×), and one of their hitboxes has lower [[set knockback]] (65 → 36), making them harder to [[SDI]] out of and allowing them to connect more reliably.}}
*[[Forward smash]]:
**{{buff|Forward smash has much less ending lag (FAF 70 → 55), significantly improving its utility as a projectile and long range KO option.}}
**{{buff|The shot travels faster, allowing it to cover more distance.}}
**{{nerf|It deals less damage when fully charged (19.5% → 14.95%), reducing its maximum KO potential.}}
*[[Up smash]]:
**{{buff|Up smash's last hit has increased base knockback (30 → 34).}}
*[[Down smash]]:
**{{buff|Down smash deals more knockback (30 base/99 scaling → 31/103 (clean), 105 scaling → 106 (mid), 35 base/36 scaling → 60/40 (late)), improving its KO potential.}}

===Aerial attacks===
*[[Neutral aerial]]:
**{{buff|Neutral aerial's shots last longer (18 frames → 23), allowing them to cover more distance and thus increasing their range.}}
**{{nerf|The move deals less shield damage (1 → -0.5 (Mega Buster), 0 → -1 (shots)).}}
*[[Forward aerial]]:
**{{buff|Forward aerial has less [[landing lag]] (19 frames → 11). Combined with its launch angle, this grants it combo ability into itself from low to mid percents.}}
**{{buff|It deals significantly more knockback (23 base/90 scaling → 48/118), now KOing reliably below 170% from the center of {{SSBU|Final Destination}}, compared to being unable to KO below 250% under the same circumstances.}}
*[[Back aerial]]:
**{{buff|Back aerial's first two hits launch grounded opponents vertically instead of horizontally along the ground, allowing them to connect more reliably.}}
**{{nerf|The move has more ending lag (FAF 43 → 45).}}
**{{nerf|The third hit has altered knockback (30 base/180 scaling → 20/183), hindering its KO potential.}}
*[[Up aerial]]:
**{{buff|Up aerial's hits connect more reliably.}}
**{{buff|The changes to air dodges drastically benefit Mega Man's up aerial compared to others, as due to being a projectile, it can juggle opponents more effectively by constantly pressuring them into using up their air dodges.}}
**{{nerf|Up aerial has one frame more landing lag (19 frames → 20).}}
**{{nerf|It can no longer [[autocancel]] in a full hop.}}
*[[Down aerial]]:
**{{buff|Down aerial has less landing lag (24 frames → 14).}}
**{{buff|The shot lasts longer (11 frames → 13), allowing it to cover more distance and thus increasing its range.}}
**{{nerf|The late hit against grounded opponents has more base knockback (5 → 40), but less knockback scaling (90 → 70), slightly hindering its KO potential.}}

===Throws and other attacks===
*[[Grab]]s:
**{{buff|All grabs have slightly longer range (Z2 offset: 8.4 → 8.9 (standing), 10.5 → 10.6 (dash), -14.4 → 14.8 (pivot)).}}
**{{nerf|All grabs have increased ending lag (FAF 31 → 38 (standing), 38 → 46 (dash), 36 → 41 (pivot)).}}
**{{nerf|Dash and pivot grab have slightly more startup lag (frame 8 → 9 (dash), 9 → 10 (pivot)).}}
*{{change|Mega Man's throws are no longer weight-dependent. This reduces down throw's combo potential on lightweights, but increases it on heavyweights.}}
*{{change|Mega Man's throws are all reanimated to be less stiff.}}
*[[Pummel]]:
**{{buff|Pummel deals more hitlag (5 frames → 14), but has less startup (frame 5 → 1) and significantly less ending lag (FAF 29 → 7), shortening its duration. This makes it much more reliable for racking up damage.}}
**{{nerf|It deals much less damage (3% → 1.3%).}}
*[[Edge attack]]:
**{{buff|Edge attack deals more damage (7% → 9%).}}

===Special moves===
*[[Metal Blade]]:
**{{nerf|Metal Blade deals less shield damage.}}
**{{change|Its damage outputs have been reversed: it deals more damage per hit when spawned (3% → 5%), but less when thrown as an item (5% → 3%).}}
**{{change|Metal Blade wobbles once it sticks to the ground or another surface.}} 
**{{change|Mega Man centers his eyes while standing still with the Metal Blade in his hand.}}
*[[Crash Bomber]]:
**{{buff|Upon latching onto a surface, Crash Bomber can now explode on contact with opponents before its timer finishes, improving its utility.}}
**{{change|The explosion's last hit has more base knockback (40 → 70), but drastically less knockback scaling (120 → 65). This improves its combo ability, but significantly hinders its KO power.}}
**{{change|Crash Bomber visually flashes more intensely.}}
*[[Leaf Shield]]:
**{{buff|Leaf Shield has significantly less startup (frame 50 → 9) and ending lag (FAF 54 → 36) when activated, making it much safer to use.}}
**{{buff|The leaves spin faster around Mega Man, do not vanish upon hitting opponents, and deal more knockback (14 base/22 scaling → 35/20) with a faster rehit rate (18 frames → 11). This allows the move to protect Mega Man much more effectively, with the hits of the circling leaves now comboing opponents in range until the shield is thrown.}}
***{{buff|This also increases the move's overall damage output, despite each hit from the circling shield dealing less damage (2% → 1.5%).}}
**{{buff|The shield can be thrown much faster after its activation (frame 22 → 13).}}
***{{nerf|However, the throw's total duration has not been fully compensated (FAF 56 → 54), increasing its ending lag.}}
**{{nerf|Leaf Shield no longer allows Mega Man to [[shield]], [[grab]], or hang onto [[ledge]]s while the shield is active. This prevents him from dealing extra damage to grabbed opponents with the leaves.}}
**{{nerf|The shield has a shorter maximum duration, and Mega Man always throws it automatically after it ends, potentially leaving him open to punishment if the shield's duration ends when he is close to opponents.}}
**{{change|Leaf Shield requires holding the special move button for it to spin around Mega Man; otherwise, it will be thrown automatically.}}
**{{change|The thrown shield's hits have a higher hitlag multiplier (0.3× → 0.5×). This makes them easier to [[DI]], but gives Mega Man more time to follow up.}}
*[[Mega Legends]]:
**{{change|Both [[Proto Man]] and [[Bass]] have been added at the end of the [[Final Smash]]'s cutscene.}}

==Moveset==
*Mega Man can [[wall jump]].
{{MovesetTable
|game=SSBU
|neutralcount=1
|neutralname=Mega Buster
|neutral1dmg=2% (shot), 1% (buster)
|neutraldesc=Mega Man fires up to three shots from his Mega Buster, which have a fairly long range but do little knockback. The pellets have very high priority, being able to even nullify {{SSBU|Corrin}}'s Dragon Fang Shot in one go. The move has a sweetspot around the Mega Buster itself.
|ftiltname=Mega Buster
|ftiltdmg=2%
|ftiltdesc=Behaves identically to Mega Man's neutral attack, except the Mega Buster itself has no hitbox, and Mega Man fires while running forwards. Jumping after firing twice will immediately transition to neutral aerial, and can combo consistently as well.
|utiltname=Mega Upper
|utiltdmg=17% (clean), 12% (mid), 8% (late)
|utiltdesc=A quick rising uppercut. For a tilt, it has incredible power, with the sweetspot having as much power as some smash attacks and being able to reliably KO medium-light characters under 80%. It has little starting lag but very high ending lag and little horizontal range. Based on a maneuver of the same name Mega Man received in ''Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters''.
|dtiltname=Sliding
|dtiltdmg=8% (clean), 5% (late)
|dtiltdesc=Mega Man's signature sliding kick attack. He slides forward with a kick that has very little startup and is the only tilt attack in the game to have sex kick properties. the hitbox lasts all the way until the slide is finished, which can hit opponents attempting to roll away. A good surprise move, but only if not overused. The actual sliding ability introduced in ''Mega Man 3'' is a non-damaging maneuver, though said ability becomes weaponized with the Charge Kick, Charge Man's weapon in ''Mega Man 5''. Additionally, it could be based on the ''Leg Breaker'' maneuver Mega Man can use in the secret fighting game mode in ''Mega Man 7''.
|dashname=Top Spin
|dashdmg=1.2% (hits 1-7), 4% (hit 8)
|dashdesc=Mega Man boosts forwards while spinning, damaging whatever he touches. Good priority and long lasting, equivalent to {{SSBU|Luigi}}'s dash attack. Useful for mindgames against shields due to its moderate shield stun, which often makes opponents drop their shield too early. Small noticeable ending lag. Based on Top Man's weapon from ''Mega Man 3''.
|fsmashname=Charge Shot
|fsmashdmg={{rollover|11.5%-14.95%|does not seem to conform to the global smash charge multiplier, as its hitbox is coded with 10 damage|y}}
|fsmashdesc=Mega Man charges up energy in his Mega Buster, before firing off a bigger and more powerful burst. Like regular Mega Buster shots, this shot disappears after traveling a moderate distance, though this distance was buffed in ''Ultimate''. The longer it is charged, the further the resulting shot will go, and its size, damage and knockback also increase significantly when it is fully charged. Fully charged, this is the longest-reaching forward smash in the game, although it has travel time to compensate. Based on the Super Mega Buster's Charge Shot from ''Mega Man 4'' onwards, but resembles its appearance  in ''Mega Man 5''.
|usmashname=Spark Shock
|usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|2}} (hit 1), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|1.5}} (hits 2-6), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|6}} (hit 7)
|usmashdesc=Mega Man turns both of his hands into electrodes, creating a powerful multi-hitting surge of electricity above him. It is overall useful due to its large hitbox, anti-air properties and quick startup, though it has noticeable ending lag. Based on Spark Man's weapon from ''Mega Man 3'', though it is more based on how Spark Man uses the weapon.
|dsmashname=Flame Blast
|dsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|17}} (clean), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|14}} (mid), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBU|9}} (late)
|dsmashdesc=Mega Man plants both arm cannons into the ground, causing two vertical flaming pillars to erupt from the ground either side of him which launch the opponent upwards. It has quick startup, but notoriously long endlag that leaves it highly punishable if not landed. Immense knockback when hit with the first frames of the hitbox, which can KO starting at 60% when fully [[charge]]d. It boasts incredible power, being one of the strongest down smashes in the game. It is based on Flame Man's weapon from ''Mega Man 6'', though it is more based on how Flame Man uses the weapon.
|nairname=Mega Buster
|nairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|2}} (shot), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|2}} (buster)
|nairdesc=Behaves identically to Mega Man's neutral attack, except Mega Man fires while jumping or falling in the air much like in his original games. The move has a sweetspot on the Mega Buster. Due to Mega Man's effective aerial movement, his neutral attack can be used as a very effective "wall" to deny approaches. This is the only aerial attack in the game with no [[autocancel]] threshold, as to seamlessly combo into neutral attack or forward tilt.
|fairname=Flame Sword
|fairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|8}} (clean), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|8.5}} (clean tip), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|5}} (late)
|fairdesc=Mega Man quickly summons a flaming sword to his hand and swings it downwards in front of him. It is a very useful combo move, and can net KOs fairly well at the edge of the stage. It is based on Sword Man's weapon from ''Mega Man 8''.
|bairname=Slash Claw
|bairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|3}} (hit 1), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|4}} (hit 2), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|5}} (hit 3)
|bairdesc=Mega Man quickly turns around and swings his arm, generating three crescent-shaped energy trails behind him. Has high knockback and high speed, able to net KOs when edgeguarding, and can chain into itself at low percents. Cancelling it into the ground before the third hit connects can allow Mega Man to get a grab or even an up tilt KO. It is based on Slash Man's weapon from ''Mega Man 7''.
|uairname=Air Shooter
|uairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|3}} (hits 1-3), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|2}} (hits 4-6), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|1}} (hits 7-11), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|2}} (hit 12)
|uairdesc=Mega Man fires a small tornado straight above him. It travels a fair distance, drawing in opponents who touch the tornado. It is based on Air Man's weapon from ''Mega Man 2''. It can easily Star KO opponents even at low percentages, especially if the opponent tries to jump out of it. However, it will meteor smash Mega Man himself if it is reflected.
|dairname=Hard Knuckle
|dairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|14}} (clean), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|12}} (late)
|dairdesc=Mega Man points his fist straight downwards and fires it downwards as a short-ranged projectile. The fist deals the most damage in the first few frames, but afterwards, it turns into an aerial-only [[meteor smash]]. Mega Man can move himself left or right slightly during the first few frames before launching the fist. Has a weak floating effect before firing. It is based on Hard Man's weapon from ''Mega Man 3''.
|grabname=Super Arm
|grabdesc=Mega Man grabs his opponent with one hand and lifts them over his head. Decently fast, but has one of the shortest ranges in the game. It is based on Guts Man's weapon from the original ''Mega Man''.
|pummelname=Super Squeeze
|pummeldmg=1.3%
|pummeldesc=Mega Man squeezes his opponent with his Super Arm.
|fthrowname=&nbsp;
|fthrowdmg=8%
|fthrowdesc=Throws the opponent forward. Low base knockback.
|bthrowname=&nbsp;
|bthrowdmg=11%
|bthrowdesc=Mega Man turns around and throws the opponent behind him. It is a very solid KOing throw, being able to KO middleweights at around 110% at the edge.
|uthrowname=&nbsp;
|uthrowdmg=7%
|uthrowdesc=Throws the opponent upward. Can KO opponents at high percentages.
|dthrowname=&nbsp;
|dthrowdmg=4.5%
|dthrowdesc=Throws the opponent downward. The opponent flies straight up after hitting the ground. His primary combo throw.
|floorfname=&nbsp;
|floorfdmg=7%
|floorfdesc=Sweep kicks in a circle around himself. 
|floorbname=&nbsp;
|floorbdmg=7%
|floorbdesc=Does the same sweep kick as his front floor attack, but hits behind Mega Man first instead of his front.
|floortname=&nbsp;
|floortdmg=5%
|floortdesc=Mega Man kicks both feet out while spinning.
|edgename=&nbsp;
|edgedmg=9%
|edgedesc=Mega Man jumps up and performs a kick in a similar fashion as his down tilt.
|nsname=Metal Blade
|nsdmg=5% (spawn), 3% (item throw)
|nsdesc=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, though it deals less damage upon being thrown a second time. Mega Man cannot throw another Metal Blade until his previous one disappears. Its fair amount of utility makes this Mega Man's most useful tool for edgeguarding, approaching and spacing, and can even initiate shield break combos. The move is based on Metal Man's weapon from ''Mega Man 2''.
|ssname=Crash Bomber
|ssdmg=1% (hits 1-4), 4% (last)
|ssdesc=Fires a grappling bomb attached to a drill that latches on to any surface or fighter it touches, before exploding a few seconds later. Much like a [[Gooey Bomb]], it can be transferred between players before it detonates but has a shorter timer and the explosion can be safely shielded. The bomb can travel a good distance until it disappears. Can be used to bait a shield grab, or shot against the stage while recovering to deny edgeguarding. When stuck to a wall, it will detonate as soon as a player gets near it. The move is based on Crash Man's weapon in ''Mega Man 2''.
|usname=Rush Coil
|usdmg=0%
|usdesc=Mega Man briefly summons his robotic dog companion Rush. 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. Mega Man is unable to summon Rush again until he lands, or is hit by an attack after using it. It's possible to get incredibly early KOs by forcing an opponent into the air, and following up with an up air. The move is based on the Rush Coil from ''Mega Man 3''.
|dsname=Leaf Shield
|dsdmg=1.5% (circling), 3.8% (thrown)
|dsdesc=Mega Man summons leaf-shaped units that electromagnetically orbit around him. The leaves block projectiles, and can be held around Mega Man for a set time. The move is based on Wood Man's weapon from ''Mega Man 2''.
|fsname=Mega Legends
|fsdmg=3% (init), 41.2% (attack)
|fsdesc=Mega Man fires a Black Hole Bomb, Galaxy Man's weapon from ''Mega Man 9'', in front of him. After it explodes, it can suck opponents in. If anyone gets sucked in, then Mega Man X, MegaMan.EXE, Mega Man Volnutt, and Geo Stelar, all protagonists of their own spin-off series, alongside Proto Man and Bass, will join Mega Man to fire their Mega Busters in unison in a cinematic Final Smash.

==Role in [[World of Light]]==
[[File:WoL-46MegaMan.jpg|thumb|Finding Mega Man in World of Light|left]]
Mega Man was among the fighters that were summoned to fight against the army of [[Master Hand]]s.

During the opening cutscene, Mega Man was present on the cliffside when [[Galeem]] unleashed its beams of light. He was vaporized offscreen and placed under Galeem's imprisonment along with the other fighters, excluding {{SSBU|Kirby}}. A puppet fighter cloned from him is later seen, alongside ones cloned from {{SSBU|Mario}}, {{SSBU|Pikachu}}, {{SSBU|Palutena}}, and other fighters.

Mega Man can be found near the entrance of the Base sub-area, guarded by the spirit of Sigma.

==[[Spirit]]s==
Mega Man's Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing [[Classic Mode]]. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Mega Man in World of Light allows the player to preview the spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Each Fighter Spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in ''Ultimate''.

===Character Showcase Video===
{{#widget:YouTube|id=m4632ulEnNc}}

== Trivia ==
*Due to an error, Mega Man's character showcase video was originally not accessible on [https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/fighter/46.html his fighter page] on the ''Ultimate'' website. The error has since been fixed.
*Mega Man is the only third-party veteran with a new arrangement in their character showcase video, using a new remix of Wood Man’s stage music. {{SSBU|Snake}}, {{SSBU|Pac-Man}}, and {{SSBU|Ryu}} use arrangements from previous games while {{SSBU|Sonic}}, {{SSBU|Cloud}}, and {{SSBU|Bayonetta}} use music ported from their home games.
*Mega Man's pose in his official art is notably similar to his pose on the North American and European box art for ''Mega Man 7'', albeit horizontally mirrored.
**Mega Man also takes on a similar pose during [[Mega Legends|his Final Smash]].
*Mega Man is the only fighter who, excluding throws, has canonical names for all of his attacks, unlike most fighters who only have a select few named attacks.
*Mega Man's Classic Mode plays homage to his original NES games, primarily ''Mega Man 2''. 
**The first four fights reference Ice Man, Metal Man, Wood Man, and Quick Man with the character choice, stage, and music. 
**The battle against multiple Mega Mans homage the boss rush that occurs near the end of the games.
**Galleom is a tribute to the Guts Tank in Mega Man 2, further emphasized by Guts Man's theme playing in the background. 
**The final battle is a reference to ''Mega Man 2'''s final boss, with Dr. Mario being [[Dr. Wily]] and Mewtwo being Alien Wily.
*Mega Man's Classic Mode is one of two that feature the bonus stage before Round 6, the other one being {{SSBU|Ryu}}'s.
**His Classic Mode is also one of only two to feature a fight against a boss (in this case, [[Galleom]]) outside of the boss round, the other being [[Bowser]] and one of the few whose boss round does not feature a designated boss, instead fighting characters who are otherwise playable (in this case, Dr. Mario and Mewtwo).
*Mega Man is one of the five veterans from ''Smash 4'' to have their [[Boxing Ring]] alias changed in ''Ultimate'', the others being {{SSBU|Link}}, {{SSBU|Kirby}}, {{SSBU|King Dedede}}, and {{SSBU|Ryu}}.
