Character Overview

Mega Man (called Rock Man in Japan) is one of CapCom's older creations. Created by Dr. Light and accompanied by his dog Rush (Rash in Japan), he fights against various power-themed bad guys in his adventures, and gets their specific power-up when he defeats them. His sister Roll is also in MvC2.

Marvel Overview

Mega Man is a very interesting character in Marvel. He is one of the few characters that can challenge or beat Magneto's priority and also fight Storm's runaway fairly effectively. He has very severe limitations in terms of his short hit range and poor maneuverability, but also is a one man zoning machine if played "properly". Zoning, trapping, and building levels are Mega Man's strengths. You will want to abuse his FP (ey!), throws, and his Power-Ups. He is not generally very good at coming back. His Busters do no chip damage, so while "building levels" is a game plan for a while, you will want to be able to do more with him then just jumping around firing Busters. TO-DO: Add frame data, as well as missing sprites

Gameplay

Mega Man is a zoner with that has many different projectiles. His main strengths lies in his Buster shot.

Strengths	Weaknesses
Mega Buster: Mega Man's Buster shot is like a hadouken on crack. Very fast and heavily damaging. Meter Positive: Thanks in large part to Buster shots as well as not needing to spend meter to run his zoning lets MM build a bunch of meter. Round start: Tied for fastest normal at round start, allows MM to start off strong consistently.	Buster does not chip: While Buster controls space well, it does no chip damage on it's own. Lower health: 106% damage modifier.

Special Moves

Specials

Weapon Activation
+

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Activates weapon. Default weapon is Tornado Hold.

Mega Uppercut
+

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
His Dragon Punch is pretty paltry and not used too much - it can be useful for spacing, but his jump Buster is usually the better choice.

Summon Rockball Power-Up
+

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
The Rockball drops in front of you. You can then kick it, and it will bounce around the screen for about 3 seconds or until it hits the opponent. Rockball is very useful both to help stop rushdown and to set up better trapping/zoning.

Summon Leaf Shield Power-Up
+

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
The Leaf Shield forms around you and serves as one-hit full armor. You can then fire it straight-forward (in the air as well) using QCF+P (weapon activation), and can do up to 6 non-chipping hits. The Leaf Shield goes away after about 5 seconds even if not fired.

Summon Tornado Hold Power-Up
+

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
The Tornado Hold OTGs. It does no damage if blocked. It can cancel some projectiles. LP does a close range Tornado, the FP does it farther away. The spacing is obviously very important.

Hyper Combos

Hyper Mega Man

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard

Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock

Mash buttons for more damage. Hyper Mega Man (HMM) combos very easily off his air combo and is fairly safe to DHC out of as long as you DHC while the projectiles are still on screen. It has an invulnerability frame just after start-up that you will want to learn to use effectively. That frame puts you offscreen temporarily, but you must DHC out if there is an onscreen projectile you are avoiding, as otherwise it may still hit you. HMM fires bullets downwards too, which may trick some people. If you HMM while they're offscreen and you see the combo counter go up (indicating they probably just ate two of the down-bullets) you can DHC to Cable HVB (or other super with quick-ish startup) and have it connect. The super does very poor chip damage and does not do effective damage unless the opponent is a body length away from you. As such HMM should never be used in the corner.

Beat Plane
+

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
You can use the Plane for limited extra mobility at crucial points, but it's generally useless as anything other than chip. Start-up is slow and recovery is also slow: ending it by moving to the far side of the screen as close to the ground as possible is usually the safest. You can counter an anticipated guard cancelled punishment by putting spaces between the bullets. You can be hit out of the Beat Plane by almost any move, and it does not have invulnerable start-up. Sentinel can fly above the Beat Plane and you will not be able to reach him. ash kicks for bombs, punches for bullets, can move plane in any direction.

Rush Drill
+

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Mash to drill faster, can move forward/backward or jump. The drill is invincible once started. It also has very bad start-up and recovery.
