I first got the game when the demo was first pre-available and played that in training mode for hours daily, then after it came out played Mega Man on For Glory and Anther's Ladder for hours daily, for a very long time. After a long time of that I was still mostly only able to win if the other...

I've tested it in training mode at the slowest speed. There was like a 3 frame window where you could get a guaranteed punish on a shine if you reacted on frame 1 of the shine happening. I gave up on the game a long time ago because Mega Man was the only character I really liked and almost...

if you just don't approach, then Falco can just get you with a few lasers then sit in the corner until time runs out.

Anyone else feel like the Falco matchup is literally 0:100? I just found an old video of when I played this game and a Falco in For Glory was literally doing nothing but rolling back, shooting lasers, and using that reflector, and they won. Falco's moving shine means pellets, the gear, crash...

I've done a lot of testing against Falco's shine in training mode, and as I said, the timing to punish it is probably close to 1 frame, unless you predicted he was going to use it.

What does MM do that Samus doesn't do better? Samus's charge shot is the best of MM's leaf shield and fsmash, and can be held on to in order to completely dictate neutral because the opponent has to play extremely carefully to not get hit by it, not knowing when it's going to come out. Samus has...

After maining MM since the demo was available, it feels like MM has basically no answer to Link, Samus, Falco, and a few others. To just elaborate on those: Link's upclose too easily beats anything MM can try to do, and Link obviously wins far away. Samus can literally charge her charge shot...

He needs to be able to hold onto a charge shot. Make dtilt faster. Ability to detonate crash bomb on command. Maybe pellets a bit faster and longer with less lag. Make the lag on shooting a metal blade a lot lower.

I believe Zucco got into a few winner's finals or semifinals in the early days. Has anyone done that lately?

0:00 - 0:15 : Falco consistently easily wins neutral with his far superior up-close frame data around 0:24 : I try baiting the shine and following up as was suggested but it's easier said than done around 0:39 : Fair is one of the only things you can do if he camps the shine but even then it...

I've found Zelda somewhat difficult to deal with as Mega Man. It's too easy to miss the timing avoiding a Din's Fire or her teleporting right into you to KO you.

The whole time I've been playing (since the demo was pre-available) I've never been able to deal with Falco. His neutral has consistently felt basically unbeatable as long as he doesn't make glaring mistakes. Pellet spacing does not work on him - he can just throw out that giant shine that goes...

I'm trying to see what correlations are like between battles played and win rate, etc. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1mN9K47t28_5MRxJjLdOOTtFFog8rWsKyyC7DBEJ5w1c/viewform?fbzx=-857973959316352818 Example so far:

Decently, apparently I've gotten pretty good spacing, and I try to note things not to repeat or situations to avoid. Finally won a ranked match against someone with a ranking greater than the starting point (had many wins in their history) on Anther's yesterday. FG rate's over 50%. And maybe...

That's not how "gifted" works. It's something innate. Some people have much more natural talent than others, and those people don't have to try to be good at whatever they're talented at. It's a widely observed phenomenon.
