Introduction

Volnutt decided to take a vacation from the moon to chill with the Tatsunoko heroes. It's the blue bombe-er, uh digger at it again.

Gameplay

Proto-Amaterasu but cooler

Strengths	Weaknesses
Can completely ignore incoming chip damage Extremely good zoning Very good Anti-air super Very solid normals Really good Assist Can change his playstyle on the fly to fit the current situation Very easy combo route that can be adjusted as needed	Weapon Change mechanic can be overwhelming for newer players The direction weapon change moves doesn't always follow inputs when airborne Lvl 3 is the weakest in the game and gets hurt even harder from damage scaling Machine gun super has the potential to whiff and leave Volnutt in extremely unsafe situations

Move List

Normal Moves

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
5A	6	1	16	-	800	-	Fairly fast jab
2A	6	2	15	-	640	Low	Low kick, reaches decently far
5B	9	-	23	-	2020	-	Big FAT kick, hits two times, hitbox goes higher than the animation shows. You can link 6B Drill -> Weapon Change Forward -> 5B -> 3C from it, that's how insane it is
2B	9	3	-	-	1040	Low	Pretty good low, decent distance, reaches far.
6B(Fist)	14	5	-	-	1280	Stagger	Megaman winds up and gives a right hook. Causes a massive amount of stagger. Does not cancel/chain into other normals, must Weapon Change or link 5A afterwards. Usable in air
6B(gun)	17	-	-	-	2772	-	Megaman Stops and fires a few bullets. Very annoying to deal with. When used in air, 6B shoots forward
3B(gun)	-	-	-	-	3647	Anti-air	Meganman fires 4 machine gun bullets at about a 60-degree angle upwards that hits super jumping opponents. When used in air, 3B shoots diagonally down
6B(Shield)	21	17	-	-	2040	Wall Bounce/Projectile Reflect	Megaman pulls his shield out and shoves it forward, on hit it causes wall bounce. Reflects one projectile. Usable in air
6B(Drill)	19	-	-	-	4722 (4062 OTG)	Low/OTG	Megaman slides his drill along the ground, unsafe even on weapon switch.
3B(Drill)	12	-	-	-	2400	-	Megaman does a little shoryuken with his drill. Can be cancelled only within the first few hits. If cancelled super early (like ridiculously early), Volnutt will get a "Magnet" effect and can jab characters infinitely. Usable in air
5C	11	-	-	-	1280	Tiny Projectile	Pew Pew
2C	11	-	-	-	1200	Tiny Projectile	PEW PEW but anti air.
j.A	6	6	-	-	640	Overhead	Air jab
j.B	9	3	-	-	1120	Overhead	Air kick, use it mostly for combos
j.C j.C -> Weapon Switch 7/8/9 -> IAD j.C	13	-	-	-	1280	Projectile	Volnutt shoots out a tiny little projectile, which isn't really worth much, except when combined with weapon switch it becomes potentially the most annoying projectile in the game. A flow of j.C -> Weapon Switch --> j.C --> jump --> repeat can litter the entire screen with bullets that almost remind you of Astral Vision from MvC3. Alternatively, by holding 7 or 9 and doing an IAD as soon as possible you can do a ghetto bullet spam, it doesn't cover max jump height but can still be annoying j.2C shoots it downward

Special Moves

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Weapon Change 22X Weapon Change 214X Weapon Change 236X	5	-	-	-	-	Transform	Volnutt changes his arm, changes the function of 6B. Input determines the direction he moves when changing 236 moves forward 214 moves backward 22 provides no movement The strength determines what weapon comes out. A brings out the machine gun arm B brings out the Shield. While the shield is active, Megaman no longer takes chip damage, however, for every hit the shield takes, the meter will drain C Brings out Drill To get the fist back, change into the form you currently are, for example, if you are in drill, perform a weapon change with C and Volnutt will gain his fist back.
MegaBuster [C]	11	-	33/33/44/44	-	1280/3280/7084/10903	-	Megaman's pew pew gets pew pew'ier. Holding C provides 4 levels of strength signified by the size (and the sound effect it makes). The fully charged buster matches the damage of most Character's level 1 damage. Shooting it raw is usually unsafe so it's followed by a super or BBQ.

Super Moves

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Machine Gun Sweep 214XX	1+1	-	-	-	9734	f1-4 invincible (arm force to gun)	Volnutt shoots out 41 shots, very good in combos. Extremely good in DHC and crossover combinations. Using it in neutral is your gamble, at full screen it can be low profiled by almost everyone and if you use it in the air it's super easy to super jump or dash under. Volnutt can control the angle of the gun which lets you ignore people trying to push block as you can get them to accidentally backdash and hit them with the super. Usable in air
Max Power Drill Uppercut 623XX	1+1	-	-	-	15951	f1-4 invincible, gun forced to Drill	Volnutt's shin shoryu, absolutely amazing super, if anyone is breathing in your air space, this super wins. After executing, it always leads to a cross-up which you can attempt to 5B but be ready on defense if it gets blocked. If used on a giant in a dizzy state you can loop this.
Max Power Shining Laser 236XX	1+8	-	-	-	14832 (19580 when mashed fully)	Mashable/Forces Fist Arm	Possibly the worst use of 3 meters in the game. The super has no range, it's a hit grab so it doesn't ignore the block, it does no damage unless mashed and even that isn't really a lot. But you can combo after it so that's something I guess. Useable on giants.
