Mega Man (ロックマン, Rockman) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, officially confirmed on June 12th, 2018.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release.

Aesthetics

• As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Mega Man's model features a more subdued color scheme. Some of the mechanical details on his body are more pronounced.
• Mega Man's Mega Buster now emits a small, ring-shaped particle upon firing.
• Mega Man now opens his mouth while firing the Mega Buster on the ground, unlike his own games.
• Mega Man's Boxing Ring alias is now his European counterpart "The Blue Bomber" in all regions.

Attributes

• Like all characters, Mega Man's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.

Ground attacks

• The ability to use any ground attack out of a run in Ultimate benefits up tilt, as combined with its sheer knockback, it can catch landings and punish opponents much more effectively for KOs.
• Forward smash has more range and activates faster.
• Up smash activates faster.
• Dash attack deals more damage.

Special moves

• Leaf Shield has a faster startup, its leaves spin more quickly around Mega Man and do not vanish upon hitting opponents, and the shield can be thrown much faster.
• Mega Man has an altered animation for using the Rush Coil: as he comes back down from a jump, he performs a flip.
• His Final Smash, Mega Legends, now has both Proto Man and Bass added to the lineup.
