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]].
